The world needs more heroes

Philomena fell into a drowsy dream in the car. The radio in the car was broadcasting the urgent news of the Metropolis today. Dick, who noticed that Philomena was asleep, turned down the volume. , for a while there was no sound in the car except for the very quiet news, but it was unexpected and not embarrassing.

Falling into sleep, Philomena took off all her defenses, and her daily sharp eyebrows finally softened. If the usual Philomena is a knife without a scabbard, just one look can make her People shivered, and Philomena, who fell asleep, was like a hedgehog who had let go of all vigilance, lying on her back with her snow-white belly exposed, not worried about being attacked at all.

Just like an ordinary high school girl who hasn't experienced any hardships.

Dick Grayson didn't get close to Philomena because she was his adoptive father's biological daughter. In fact, long before he knew that Bruce had a biological daughter left outside, he and the hedgehog girl across the door had already called each other. It can be regarded as [a friend who can talk a few words].

Although he was usually the one talking, Philomena listened quietly, making some sharp remarks from time to time in sharp, short language.But Dick didn't find it harsh at all. In fact, there were too many people with this personality around him, and he was already used to how to get along with them.

And after learning about Philomena's experience in the past 16 years in the data, Dick can better understand why she looks like a hedgehog no matter who she meets, even if someone wants to be friends with her, she will be repeatedly, Push away again and again.

It will take at least an hour and a half from the amusement park back to the apartment in the city center, and now they have just left the parking lot of the amusement park. The temperature of the air conditioner in the car was turned up by Dick, and the young man parked the car on the side of the road. , turned sideways and grabbed a blanket from the back seat, spread out a gentleman's blanket, and covered Philomena's body.

Pressing the warning sign for temporary parking, he looked away from Philomena, then stepped on the accelerator, and the vehicle drove towards the center of the metropolis. The quiet atmosphere was accompanied by the low sound of news broadcasts throughout the entire city. Dissipate in the air.

Philomena woke up when she was approaching the apartment. The car was parked in the parking lot of the supermarket, and the windows were rolled down a little to prevent her from suffocating due to the confined space.Now the weather in the metropolis is the end of the sunny but warm autumn, and the summer has passed a long way.

She shook her head sleepily, stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes, and after trying to wake herself up from the drowsiness and drowsiness, she saw Dick coming from the direction of the supermarket, holding two bottles in one hand Shui, with the car keys in the other hand, seemed to notice that Philomena had woken up, and walked towards her faster.

"Didi──" The sound of the car being unlocked came, and Philomena stretched out her hand and pulled off the blanket that was covering her body. The warm blanket was spreading, and she slapped violently after touching the slightly cold air outside. shiver.

The driver's door was opened, and Dick poked his head in, with a smile on his face, and even his blue eyes were slightly bent, like a clean crescent moon: "You Wake up? I just went to buy two bottles of water, and I didn't expect you to just wake up."

"...Have I slept for a long time?" Philomena's voice was still lingering with a little sleepiness. She reached out to take the water from Dick, and raised her arm to tell herself that she was close to being tired. Ultimate, the downside of overusing the Overwatch hero system is finally revealed for the first time: "Sorry, thanks for the water."

"You're welcome." Dick got into the car. They arrived at the amusement park in the afternoon. After experiencing a shock, no one was in the mood to continue playing, whether they were adults or children, couples or singles, and Dick was naturally the same .

Now they have almost returned to the urban area, and the car has been driving for about an hour. Dick didn't expect that he would just stop at the mall to buy something. In less than 5 minutes, Philomena woke up.

It's about five o'clock now, Dick took the time to check his watch when he reversed the car, it was exactly five o'clock.

"Are you hungry?" He adjusted the rear view mirror and asked briskly, "I guess after what happened in the afternoon, you should be starving?"

"I don't—" Philomena originally wanted to say that she was not hungry at all, but the tingling in her fingers caused by unscrewing the water glass had just disappeared, and her stomach began to ache like a fire, which reminded her that she was actually hungry. Haven't eaten all day: "... a little."

Dick pursed his lips to hold back his smile. After graduating from college, he had only been a police detective at the Brudhaven Police Department for a year. In the parking lot of the supermarket, walk along the road: "What do you want to eat? Italian? French? Chinese? Japanese?"

Philomena suddenly remembered when she met Dick Grayson for the first time. She wanted to have a random dinner that day, but was told by an annoying Parker to go out for dinner, and then saw that... . Well edited video.

In the end, Philomena blinked, and for the first time in front of others, the corners of her mouth were raised, her small canine teeth were slightly exposed, but the slight arc disappeared in an instant: "Maybe...Thai style?"

The smile was fleeting, like a mirage, and it would even make people feel that they were just dazzled, and the subtle arc was suppressed in an instant. If it wasn't for Dick who was convinced that his vision in both eyes was 1.5, and he was still under the age of To the point of being old and dizzy, you may think that it is just an illusion.

That was the first time Dick saw what could be called a smile on Philomena's face, and even though the tiny bit of a smile didn't even exist for a second, it was a smile, not vigilance, not indifference, or indifference. disgust.

He thought it looked great.

"You should smile more," he said, "I think that's beautiful."

Peter Parker saw Philomena's picture again on Twitter, Eugene "Lightning" Thompson slammed the door of his expensive sports car this afternoon, sullen and angry, everyone in After he left, he began to whisper in the corridor. The voices of a few girls were so loud that Peter could hear them clearly.

"Thompson is really angry about Olsen." The captain of the school's cheerleading team folded his arms, his face full of dissatisfaction: "If you want me to say, Olsen has a boyfriend at first glance, and── "

"And that boy is so handsome!" The girlfriend next to her screamed softly, with a slight blush on her face: "I knew Olsen didn't go with Thompson before because he didn't like him, he... .too boyish!"

Although Eugene Thompson is not the type with an extremely handsome appearance, he still has the high spirits of a male high school student. Besides, she is also the star of the school football team. Most girls want to be with him, but this boy's heart is as early as the first After seeing Philomena Olsen, the goddess of the iceberg, he no longer belonged to him, so that after Philomena transferred to another school, he was almost silent for two weeks and never troubled Peter.

However, Peter now obviously cares more about what they said about [Olsen has a boyfriend].

"Hey! Peter! Peter!" Harry Osborn, his childhood friend and classmate until now, squeezed through the crowd. He didn't look like a school prince at all, and he held his mobile phone high. , with a little excitement on his face, he raised his volume: "You will never believe what I saw!"

"Don't worry about Harry, just speak slowly." Seeing Harry rushing over, he was almost unsteady on his feet, so he raised his voice quickly, and finally the boy squeezed through the crowd panting, complaining as he came to his side : "Why don't you go home after school, what are you doing on the road──Forget about this, look, Olson!"

"I never thought that Orson could be so good-looking." Harry said excitedly: "Do you think if I ask her out, will she agree?"

Peter didn't pay much attention to what Harry said. He took the boy's cell phone and stared straight at the screen of the cell phone.

A tweet with a very high number of likes and retweets on Twitter said a passage from the tweeter: "The cute couple I met in the Metropolitan Amusement Park, they are too sweet!"

In the photo below, the girl's side face is very familiar. She still has a cold face, but the handsome young man walking beside her has a gentle and doting smile on his face, and takes out a baseball from his bag The hat seems to be worn by the girl to block the sun in the afternoon.

Of course Peter recognized it, how could he not recognize it.

He blinked his eyes in a daze, a slight soreness surged from his fingertips towards his heart, he put the phone back to Harry, took out the phone himself, opened Twitter, clicked on the search bar, and saw took that photo.

The afternoon sun in the metropolis fell on both of them, and even Peter had to admit that they were a perfect match.

The young man squeezed his cell phone silently, and squeezed his head away from the crowded crowd who were discussing this matter. The people he bumped into didn't even see who bumped into him, and they were in pain. Clutching his ribs and howling.

And Harry, who stuffed this photo in front of him, stayed there for two seconds with a dazed expression, and then held up his phone that was stuffed back and tried to catch up: "Peter? Peter?"

At that moment just now, he felt that Peter looked a little darker. Although it was fleeting, the gloomy atmosphere seemed to envelop his old friend at that moment.

"Peter, wait, aren't we going to your house to play Lego today! Wait for me!"

After finishing the very authentic Thai cuisine with Dick, Philomena took the bill first, which made Dick a little puzzled: "Philomina? I thought we agreed to treat me this time? "

"No." Philomena frowned slightly. She was indeed indifferent and repulsive, but it didn't mean she didn't have the most basic courtesy: "You drove for more than three hours today."

"I'll pay."

Even if Philomena doesn't have a driver's license, doesn't plan to take the test, and hasn't even sat in the driver's seat, but you can imagine that after going through such a busy bomb disposal trip, she still has to drive for one and a half hours. After an hour's drive back to the urban area, even a gentleman agreed to Philomena's request to eat Thai food.

She is not short of money, and today she did feel the anxiety that Dick Grayson felt when he was looking for himself. She didn't think it was because of...Bruce Wayne's relationship, and she didn't think that Dick Grayson was known for being cautious. Members of the Bat-family are drawn to themselves by an unremarkable blood relationship.

"This is very close to the apartment, I will go back by myself." Philomena stood up, holding the bill in her hand, and paused for two seconds before she spoke: "You are a nice neighbor, thank you."

Dick blinked his eyes while sitting on the seat, and came back to his senses after Philomena's figure disappeared. He couldn't help laughing, and the clear laughter was suppressed by him, so it didn't affect other people.

Sitting in a seat not far away, there were a few maturely dressed white-collar workers, pushing left and right, and finally one of them stood up, with a slightly flushed smile on his face, and leaned over: "Hey, I noticed you We're done eating, is that your sister? She's so pretty."

It took Dick two seconds to react, and a helpless smile appeared on Jun's face: "No, she... doesn't really count."

The so-called family is not composed of blood relations. In the entire Wayne Manor, only Damian is blood related to Bruce, but they are still a family.

And it's the same for Philomena, why did he only mention something about Bruce from the side, and then never mention it again, because of this.

Family exists because of approval.

Dick nodded politely to the ladies in front of him, then stood up and followed Philomena who had already left, and did not turn back to the restaurant until he watched the girl enter the apartment building. Get into the car parked on the side of the road.

He has to go to Gotham today, and it's already a bit late.

Under the reminder of Athena, Philomena noticed Dick who was following her far behind. The young man did not turn back until she entered the door of the apartment and locked it.

She pressed the button of the elevator, and while waiting, drowsiness swept over again. Philomena held her eyes that were about to close, and she was relieved after opening the door of the house.

This is the first time she has switched roles so frequently. Usually, Genji can handle the small troubles in the metropolis by himself. Philomena has not been able to deal with the villains that were reported in the newspapers and specifically aimed at Superman. met.

And the fatigue caused by switching roles is far inferior to the fatigue caused by Philomena not stopping today and using her fastest speed to sprint to the limit in the amusement park. She feels her body is already roaring Protesting, the redness and swelling of the right finger bone, which had been covered up all the time, was no longer red and swollen, but Philomena knew that it was not good at all.

The sharp tingling sensation was transmitted to Philomena's brain with every movement of her right hand, and she even felt that she was a little used to this feeling.

You have to throw a biological force field to heal it. According to common sense, it takes three months for a fractured phalanx. If it is discovered, there is no way to cover it up.

While she was thinking like this, after sitting on the sofa, she was completely swept away by sleepiness and lost consciousness.

The cold night wind rolled up from the open window and poured into Philomena's room. She shrank slightly, curled herself up into a ball, and fell into a drowsy sleep.

"Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock!" The knock on the door awakened Philomena from her sleep. She frowned slightly, and opened her eyes after two seconds. The bright sunshine fell on her face On the ground, a fine and dense numbness slowly climbed up from her arm, like an ant biting a nerve.

She actually fell asleep directly on the sofa yesterday.

"Knock, knock, knock!" The knock on the door sounded again, and Philomena sat up, letting the pain and itching climb up her arm that had been pressed all night, and her long black curly hair was messed up due to sleep. , It looks unexpectedly a little cute.

The sore shoulders seemed to be locked together with the neck, and even a little stretching would be painful. Philomena stood up, and directly held her numb left hand and right hand together. There was a crisp sound as it unfolded, stretching its shrunken limbs.

"Who's knocking?" Philomena asked louder as she stretched. She felt she should take a shower, so if someone knocked at the door, she was going to ignore it.

"Philomena! It's me! Peter!" The boy's youthful voice also raised high, as if he was relieved: "I thought I was in the wrong place, but I was right several times. The address you gave... By the way, why didn't you respond?"

Peter Parker?

Philomena was dazed for two seconds, then stomped on the wooden floor and opened the door. While opening the door, she frowned: "What are you doing in Metropolis? Don't you have to go to class?"

Peter standing in front of the door was a little shy, he smiled at Philomena, and said hesitantly: "I called you yesterday, but you didn't answer, I'm a little worried──Today is Saturday, I told you Aunt Mei said hello."

"Look, this is the cake she asked me to bring you!" Peter held up the small bag in his hand a little awkwardly, which Aunt Mei took out of the refrigerator and stuffed it for him when he was about to go out this morning. It was something my colleagues gave to Peter yesterday.

"How early did you get up?" After waking up, Philomena heard Peter's voice and hurried to open the door without checking the time. Although the metropolis is not far from New York, it is located in two states after all. It will take at least three hours for the boat to reach the city center, and he still has to find his way.

"I only left the door at nine o'clock in the morning. Philomena, it's already one o'clock in the afternoon." Peter said cautiously: "I've been waiting at the door for half an hour. Your phone seems to be out of battery...you Are you ok?"

One o'clock in the afternoon?

Philomena frowned tightly. She arrived home at about [-]:[-] p.m. yesterday. She thought about treating her fingers and taking a shower before going to bed, but she fell asleep on the sofa until [-]:[-] p.m.?

That's eighteen hours.

"You come in first." Philomena moved out of the way and let Peter, who was carrying a cake and a backpack, enter the room. She held down her hair with a headache, and the fine tingling sensation spread from the bone of her right finger. up.

"Fridge, take it yourself." She pointed to the refrigerator in the kitchen, paused for two seconds and said, "I'm going to take a shower, you watch TV by yourself."

As he said that, he stepped on his slippers and walked into his room. After 2 minutes, he came out again with a change of clothes. Without even looking at Peter, he went straight into the bathroom.

Peter, on the other hand, is down.

【Wash, wash, take a bath──! 】The boy finally came to his senses after Philomena got into the bathroom, his face flushed instantly, he patted his cheek, and it took more than ten seconds to make the blush go away.

He carried the six-inch cake with his hands and feet, and headed towards the refrigerator. On the way, he bumped into a chair in the dining room, and the wooden chair made a harsh sound on the floor, which woke Peter up.

There are very few things in the refrigerator. It can be said that there is nothing to eat except water, a few bottles of orange juice, and the cake that Peter just put in. Layer after layer of microwave food was placed neatly, and the boy's face puffed up.

When he obviously called Philomena every two or three days, Philomena said that she had a good meal, but until now she was still living on microwave food every day!

The sound of water penetrated the bathroom door and entered Peter's ears. The boy with superhuman hearing suddenly calmed down. The anxiety that he couldn't get through to Philomena's phone call yesterday was soothed at this moment. He suddenly wanted to laugh.

For these things, there is also a photo of running all the way to the metropolis, which is really funny, obviously Philomena is just out of battery.

The dull Peter looked left and right, and finally sat on the sofa facing the TV. He turned on the TV with the remote control. The noisy TV sound successfully covered up the sound of water coming from the bathroom. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket , was thinking about how to explain to Harry and Ned that they suddenly had an appointment to play Lego today.

After all, it was really dangerous for Philomena to be alone in Metropolis.

Peter suddenly remembered the first time he was shocked by Philomena's expression. It was the day when New York was invaded by aliens. Mr. Stark arranged for him to go to the city to protect the evacuation of the people, but he was late that day. One step, but failed to save the middle-aged couple who were eager to escape.

When they fell from the tall building, Peter was across the road across the eight-lane road. He watched them fall to the ground, and the screams of the fleeing people erupted, while the girl who looked down from a height saw them. After a few seconds, when he finally raised his face, Peter, who had extraordinary eyesight, saw her expressionless and gorgeous face.

He felt so powerless.

He thought she was so sad.

"Knock, knock, knock!" There was an unexpected knock on the door, Peter hurriedly turned off the TV, walked to the door, hesitated for two seconds whether to open the door for Philomena, and felt that the other party might have something urgent , so finally opened the door.

"Philomena, you left me at my place yesterday—" The young man standing at the door suddenly stopped speaking, and looked at Peter in surprise, and Peter recognized at a glance that he was the one Harry showed him yesterday [Boyfriend] on the photo.

The sound of the water in the bathroom became very clear without the interference from the TV. After being dazed for two seconds, Peter opened his mouth, somewhat at a loss: "Uh, how are you?"
