The world needs more heroes

When the seconds jumped from two to one, Batman arrived first. His palm reached out roughly and grabbed the bomb that Philomena had stuck to his and Talia's necks. Philomena could even feel it. The opponent's fingers trembled slightly, followed by a huge force, as if trying to tear off Philomena's fingers.

It was as if Bruce Wayne had already stepped on the edge of a cliff, and if something happened again, he would fall from the edge.

When the seconds jumped from one to zero, the bomb in Philomena's hand disappeared without a trace, as if it never existed.

Philomena's right hand made of omnics quickly grabbed Thalia's neck, and the girl turned her body slightly, letting Batman pass by her side with inertia, she said mockingly: "Look ──”

"After acting in such a scene, I didn't even dare to die."

The elbow of the right hand that was holding Talia tightened violently, instantly depriving Talia of the little oxygen left, and brought the heroine down in a few seconds.

Filomina let go of her hand in disgust, and allowed Talia to slip and fall to the ground, then narrowed her eyes slightly, and shouted: "Nightwing, squat down!"

The moment Philomena's voice fell, Dick subconsciously squatted down on the spot and rolled over vigorously. At this moment, the sound of breaking through the air sounded, and the sharp three-shot shuriken grazed the air, passing through the place where Dick was standing just now. The position directly hit the Leviathan who was trying to silently attack Dick not far away.

Leviathan stood there with blood on his head, and the shuriken that pierced his chest passed through his back at an extremely fast speed, and actually opened three blood holes that could be seen through Leviathan's chest.

With strong anger in Philomena's eyes, after throwing out the shuriken, she pulled out the wakizashi around her waist, brushing past Batman, Robin and the rolling ground beside her with lightning speed to avoid it. Ye Yi, who was attacking, drew his knife and rushed towards Leviathan.

"Wait, Genji──!" Batman was the first to react, the pupils in the man's eyes similar to Philomena's were slightly constricted, and the sound of stopping came out at the same time as the movement.

However, Genji was originally an agent with high mobility in Overwatch, and Philomena also used the skill of shadow, and rushed forward 15 meters in an instant, shortening the distance with Leviathan in an instant.

They were so close that they could see each other's eyes, Leviathan's eyes were exactly the same as Damian Wayne's, but there was no little boy's rebelliousness in them, but a loyal desire to die.

Philomena's eyes were also reflected in Leviathan's eyes. This young man who was loved by Talia the most—named after the organization, which means the terrifying sea monster in the Bible—had seen it at this moment. of fear.

That was the murderous aura that the evil dragon exuded when it was touched against the scales. When Genji appeared in front of his eyes, Leviathan seemed to have stopped in an instant.

"No!" Bruce Wayne's voice seemed extremely distant, but Philomena's eyes still retained the picture a few seconds ago.

Leviathan, who wobbled up from the ground, noticed the situation here, quietly drew out his knife, and slashed at the unsuspecting Nightwing.

As long as Philomena slowed down by another second, Ye Yi's head would fall to the ground at that moment, and the blue eyes like the sky of the metropolis would be opened empty, no longer containing the color of life.

"Crack." The sound of an object falling to the ground resounded in this space, and the noisy air instantly fell silent. Philomena followed her own inertia and ran a few steps before slowing down. She held the wakizashi with her backhand. , the bright red blood on it also splashed onto Philomena's scarred arm.

She calmly shook off the wakizashi in her hand, and the crimson liquid fell to the ground, and a bloody spot spread out, which even looked a little strange.

Filomina retracted her knife, and after the "clang" sound, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind her.

Philomena turned her head, and a head was lying quietly on the ground. Not far away was a body that lost its head. The bright red liquid gushed out the moment the head was cut open. Too fast to survive.

After the headless body fell to the ground, Philomena walked to the side of the corpse expressionlessly, staring coldly at the head that was dying.

This was the first person to die at the hands of Philomena.

"Click." The soft footsteps approached Philomena, she did not turn her head, the warm palm fell on her bare left shoulder, and touched Philomena's knife through the thin clothes scar.

Philomena stood silently, motionless, and the person behind her bent slightly, and a warm temperature came through the air, and a hairy head protruded from Philomena's left shoulder.

"Phil?" There was a gentle blue in the young man's eyes, as if the tide was surging, as if the sky was opening: "You saved my life, thank you."

Philomena pursed her lips slightly, paused for two seconds before speaking: "I'm not for you."

She just missed it for a while.

Not for Dick Grayson.

Of course, Philomena has no intention of dying with Thalia at all, not to mention that dying with Thalia for this reason may make her go to hell unsafe, and Metropolis is now completely relying on the watchman Pioneer and Super Girl were maintaining stability, and Ye Yi reduced the number of times he came to Metropolis after seeing Metropolis gradually stabilized.

Even if Philomena were to die, she would never choose the present, and the responsibility on her shoulders was never something that could be thrown away.

Awkwardly shaking off the hand that belonged to Dick on the shoulder, Philomena did not cast her gaze on Bruce, who tried to stop her not long ago, but once again on Thalia.

She crossed the ground where a dead body was lying, and followed Nightwing to Talia's side. At this moment, Damian had tied Talia tightly with extreme ruthlessness.

Bruce Wayne squatted quietly by the side, seemingly inadvertently swept across Philomena again, and there was no change in expression on most of the face covered by the mask.

Philomena walked to Damian's side, crossed her arms and watched Damian tie her own mother into a rice dumpling. She paused for two seconds before speaking: "I won't do anything to her."

"You'd better take that back." Damian tried the tightness of his own tie, and after confirming that Talia would never be able to escape these ropes even if he grew three heads and six arms, he let go: "I Your mother is not a magnanimous person."

"I mean now." Philomena twitched the corners of her lips, her gaze carried the icy coldness of an iceberg, and she glanced at Thalia with countless ice knives, as if she could pierce a woman on the spot: "Next time—"

She didn't finish her sentence, as if she left unfinished words, but everyone could guess the threat behind those words.

Originally, Philomena did not intend to let Talia go this time. After all, the other party had already taken out the bomb and said that she would die with her. Naturally, she would not let off the person who wanted to kill her.

But the presence of Damian Wayne saves his mother.

Even if Philomena has no kinship with this blood brother, nor does she have any interest in cultivating, but Damian Wayne did try to get Thalia to let him go just now.

He faced swords with the mother who gave birth to him, and his request during this period was to let go of himself, an [innocent passerby]. No matter what reason Damian said these words, Philomena would not take it as nothing occur.

That's why she let Talia go.

Of course, one pleading is only worth one life, and the next time Talia dares to mess with herself—or Metropolis——Philomina promises to throw away the ashes of that woman.

After the warning, Philomena glanced at the mess around her. Not far away lay a dead body with its head separated from its body. It was circled as a battlefield and a fire was burning outside, but because the fuel was almost exhausted, The relationship has gradually slowed down, and Philomena even vaguely heard the screams outside, until then she remembered that she asked Athena to control the steel beast outside to stop those Levi who wanted to break through. Tan members.

Philomena turned her head to Dick and said, "I have people stop some Leviathan people outside, you can deal with it yourself."

Dick nodded in a daze, and Philomena was about to leave when she saw this, but at this moment, an unexpected person actually spoke.

"Wait!" Bruce Wayne raised his voice slightly. After successfully stopping Philomena from leaving, the man strode over. He stood in front of Philomena and opened his mouth. It's like you want to say something but don't know how to say it.

Philomena raised her head slightly, Bruce Wayne was tall, more than a head taller than Philomena.

The fire around her has been gradually extinguished, and the small flame can only reflect a little outline of Batman. Philomena pursed her lips, wondering what Bruce Wayne had to say to herself at this time .

Is it because she just killed someone?

Why should he care what he did?

Philomena turned her head slightly: "Is there something wrong?"

"I—"

"You know who I am, and I know who you are, too?"

As if wanting to stop the conversation, but not so much, Philomena interrupted Bruce quickly, but did not choose the effective method of turning around and walking away.

"...Although I know that I may not be qualified to say these things to you──but can we talk, Philomena?" Bruce Wayne said in a very low voice, Philomena's name The importance of having a secret identity was well understood at the time, and almost only the two of them, and Dick standing next to him, could hear: "I'm sorry."

"..." Philomena was silent for a long time, and finally spoke in a soft voice. If you don't listen carefully, you can't hear what she is saying: "For what?"

"...for the 16 years you have traveled alone."
