The world needs more heroes

Dick arrived at Metropolis about an hour after Bruce left, and hurriedly stood in front of Philomena's door, but didn't know what he should say, or whether he should knock on the door.

Finally, it was Philomena who solved the dilemma. The girl frowned and opened the door, giving way to the house gloomyly, while twitching the corners of her mouth: "How long are you going to stand here?"

The words were full of hostility and displeasure, but Dick breathed a sigh of relief. He bent down and picked up the small gift box that Bruce put here an hour ago. It continued to exude fragrance, but he still cherished this thing in his arms.

You know, Alfred's waffles may be terrible, but the cream biscuits are the favorite creations of the old butler, and they are not given away easily. Even they—or Bruce—are hard to eat Take a few sips, unless you promise to stop waking up to nothingness with coffee.

Of course Philomena saw this, she stood there expressionless, obviously she had the number one expression since she opened the door, but Dick could easily read that in Philomena's eyes could almost turn into a substantive expression. Out of anger, he shrank his shoulders, and looked a little pitiful.

Too bad he's not standing before his ex-girlfriends, or the young girls who would be charmed by his pathetic--handsome--appearance, but an angry neighbor who's about to settle a score with him.

Filomina pointed to her room impatiently, implying that Dick, who was blocking the door, should get out of here quickly. She had no time to stand here and waste time with him.

After Filomina closed the door unfriendly with a "bang!", she turned around with her arms folded, and asked her with a full face: "Let's talk."

"Uh──" Dick carefully placed the small gift box he was carrying on the dining table, and after organizing his words, he still didn't speak.

He couldn't be blamed for making too much fuss, because in his expectation, Philomena would slam the door directly in front of him, and it was very likely that he would break the bridge of his nose.

Or he would be so angry that he wouldn't even open the door for him. Since then, the relationship between the two has entered an ice age. No matter how many times he meets Philomena by chance, he will be completely ignored and treated as a transparent person who does not exist.

But in either case it shouldn't be like this, Philomena didn't even pull out those two sharp looking Japanese knives to slice herself into human sashimi, it's all too weird !

"Killing you can wait until after I finish asking." Philomena smiled rarely, but it was different from the short-lived smile Dick saw last time. The corners of the raised lips escaped, Dick trembled, and said with a dry smile: "I can explain──About which part?"

Philomena resisted her urge to roll her eyes, and desperately told herself that this person was Dick Grayson. Without him, her true identity would have been leaked out, and the other party treated her too much. There is really no malice other than enthusiasm, and it is only then that the violence that evaporates from the heart can be suppressed.

"I'm assuming that you already know my true identity completely──" Philomena pursed her lips and stretched out the tone: "Why does Bruce Wayne look like he doesn't know at all?"

"Uh." Dick said blankly: "Because we decided to keep it a secret from her?"

"..." Philomena was silent for a long time, feeling that what she had done recently was useless, she opened her mouth speechlessly, and said weakly: "Why?"

According to her plan, Red Hood—or Red Robin, whichever is the same—has no friendship with her, so when she finds out that her real identity is Genji, she should tell Batman. So with the cover-up of her identity outside, Batman should put aside the matter of probing her identity, and instead think about the plan to deal with Genji.

However, Dick Grayson and Jason Todd didn't tell anyone else, even the unlucky kid who found them a few days ago was discovered by themselves, and these two people really treated her—wanted to announce it— ─The secret is tight-lipped.

The careful plan was defeated by an overly upright character. Philomena took a breath and sat heavily on the sofa, trying to hide her true emotions so that Dick in front of her could not see that she hadn't revealed her identity. disappointment.

Now that they've decided to keep it secret, Philomena will have to find a way to get Batman to notice that Philomena Ocean is Overwatch's Agent Genji.

Philomena looked at Dick with some distaste at Dick, who had done nothing but failed to reveal it. The emotions that had been suppressed more than an hour ago seemed to have been deeply locked into Philomena's heart.

Philomena, who has not shed tears for many years, has completely recovered her original ruthless appearance except for her eyes are still a little swollen.

"Next time you dare to bring...he to my door without telling me, I will really kill you." Philomena said viciously, her blue eyes were full of murderous intent, and Dick felt helpless. Shrugging: "I really didn't mean it, do you believe me?"

Of course I don't believe it. After half a year of getting along, Philomena has roughly figured out Dick Grayson's character.

The first-generation Robin in the data, known as the magical boy, has witnessed so many dark and black industries in Gotham, but he still maintains his good original intentions. The most rebellious period is probably when he left Gotham and went to other places. After graduating from university, he did not return to the place where he first became a vigilante, but went to Brudhaven, which has the title of small crime capital, and started his solo career as a vigilante.

Dick's life seems to be full of good things. Even if his biological parents were killed by gangsters, he tried to face the world with the most optimistic attitude.

This is reflected in his enthusiasm for the entire Wayne family. Although Philomena did not see it with her own eyes, in the data, when Bruce Wayne was seriously injured and lost his memory, he put on the Batman suit , leading the rebellious fourth-generation Robin Damian Wayne to fight for justice in Gotham.

He can even tame the bloodthirsty robin.

In the end, Philomena closed her eyes slightly. It took less than a second for her thoughts to turn around. She paused, and then said coldly, "Wayne Group Hotel Premium Self-Service."

"what?"

"You treat me, this matter will be written off."

Dick was stunned for two seconds, and then a bright smile rose on his face, like the warm sun in winter, and the arc of the young man's mouth was like the sunshine from a metropolis. He smiled and said: "You know that the Wayne Group has never Did you take my money?"

"Don't say one meal, a hundred meals will do."

While Dick borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, Batman was meditating in the Batcave.

Bruce Wayne folded his palms, crossed his slender fingers, and supported his chin. His gaze, which was very similar to Philomena, stared sharply at the data on the bat computer.

That's why Dick called himself back so urgently. The person wearing the cloak on the screen may not be clearly visible to others, but Bruce can confirm who is standing inside even through the fluttering wide cloak. .

Damian, who was standing beside him, was also looking at this scene, and the little boy put his hands on his chest and snorted coldly: "It's mother."

Indeed Thalia.

The night wind of Gotham rolled over the woman's large cloak, and beside her stood a tall figure, standing behind Talia in a submissive posture, looking down at the brightly lit Gotham with her .

It was just a photo snapped from the monitor, which Dick grabbed from the monitor during a routine inspection when Bruce went to the Metropolis to find Philomena.

In the past few days, Damian was forced to feign death because of the reward order issued by Talia in the dark world, and it seems that he has no intention of condoning his son against her wishes.

Batman has been looking for Talia for the past few days, but because Talia understands his own psychology too well, he always bumps into the bait left by the other party, like chasing a cat that has been played countless times behind a mouse.

Finally Bruce pauses for two seconds, decides to get ready and wait for Thalia to emerge from one of the many caverns himself, so he turns his chair around and gives Damian the disapproving look of Batman.

"So, are you going to tell me what you, Dick, and Jason are hiding from me, Damian?" The last voice anyone with a little secret wants to hear is probably the voice that the world's number one detective uses this bat Hero speaks in a voice of disapproval.Damian subconsciously took half a step back, only to realize in the next second, the defiant boy put his hands on his waist and stared back: "What!"

"I noticed that you were monitoring Dick and Jason, and last time you ran to the metropolis without asking why, and even harassed Philomena." Bruce listed Damian's recent abnormal behavior one by one.

You must know that in normal times, people like Philomena who have no combat power are undoubtedly weak to Damian. Even if he has the same blood as himself, Damian will not give her an extra look.

At most, it's just for Bruce's sake not to embarrass the other party.

But now Damian took the initiative to come to the door, and even blamed himself for Philomena last time, which is very rare.

Moreover, Bruce noticed the obvious loophole in Damian's emergency stop, and it was obvious that Damian had something to hide from him.

"Come on. That's based on the fact that she's just an ordinary person with no power to restrain a chicken, and I don't have the slightest interest in her like that, but—"

"But I think she needs to learn what is respect for others."

The slight pause in the middle may not have attracted Bruce's attention at the time, but combined with Damian's abnormality recently, the world's number one detective scanned his young son with sharp eyes: "Damian."

Damian pursed his lips stubbornly, and the father and son exchanged sharp eyes several times in silence before Damian reluctantly prepared to speak.

Anyway, my father had already discovered that something was wrong with Todd and Grayson, and it would take two days at most to see that something was wrong with Olsen.

Though thinking this way, Damian was still angry at being forced to be open and honest, and felt disrespected again, so he put his hands on his hips, glared at Bruce several times with emerald green eyes angrily, and then said: " Todd and Grayson discover Philomena Ocean's secret identity."

"She's actually a cyborg ninja proficient in martial arts."

The author has something to say:

Damian: My last stubbornness is not to say my full name!
