The world needs more heroes

The life-sustaining equipment was running, and Dick looked at Superman standing next to the girl's hospital bed with some confusion, and Philomena, who had just woken up and was still a little unconscious.

She didn't look like a normal eight-year-old girl, with gloom surrounding her, she was as quiet as a rag doll without any emotion.

Dick sat cross-legged on Philomena's hospital bed, relying on the fact that he was in the illusion and would not affect anything, he stretched out his hand and touched Philomena's half-length black hair recklessly.

"I think you look as if you want to eat Superman." Tony Stark crossed his arms, rolled his eyes, and said to Batman who was standing next to him, "Wake up!" , here is the memory of the past."

"I know." Batman replied to Tony in a low and short voice, and the man set his gaze on Philomena's bandaged leg.

Tony Stark said one thing wrong, if there is anyone in this entire space he wants to kill, it may be his past self who still doesn't know what happened to Philomena .

Even Bruce himself didn't know that after seeing this scene, he would be in such a mood now. At this moment, the joy and pain were like a huge palm grabbing his heart, slowly increasing his strength, allowing him to breathe The oxygen squeezed out.

Bruce Wayne, who has been struggling in such endless pain for a long time, once again pressed his despair to the bottom of his heart. Gotham's dark night knight shuttles through the evil of the night, and his family has been defeated countless times , but Batman never backs down.

"I don't know whether I should admire you or what—" Tony muttered softly, allowing himself and the other three people to be drawn into the vortex of time again, and the Superman reflected in their eyes was facing Fei on the hospital bed. Romina showed a bright smile, and the little girl raised her head awkwardly, and for the first time, something that could be called brilliance appeared in those empty eyes.

"But this world really cannot do without that guy."

The place where they appeared in the next second was an apartment that looked a bit old. The few people who had investigated Philomena's past were no strangers to this place after a brief memory.

This is the small apartment where Philomena lived after being adopted by the Olsen couple. At this moment, she is no longer the thin and petite appearance lying on the hospital bed not long ago. The little girl is holding a banknote in her hand, standing with her head down. At the door of the room, the door of the house was being slammed hard, and the four of them could even hear the couple who had left complaining about how much their relief funds were wasted by raising a child.

Obviously those relief funds are given by the Stark Foundation to help families who have adopted orphans.

Little Philomena held the banknote tightly, and finally left the house and walked to the street.

After experiencing these memories, they already knew that Loki's purpose was to let them watch the memories of Philomena, but why did Loki do this?

"He once mentioned a man named Shimada Hanzo." Damian was the first to speak. According to his age, Damian should call Philomena his older sister. Damian himself is very smart. Such an inference is to him It's not difficult: "His goal is that person, right?"

"But why did you show us that Philomena's memory is related to him finding Hanzo?" Ye Yi asked a little puzzled. In his memory, Hanzo, who had only met once, had a cold personality, but was quite talkative. .

"Shhh, look there!" Tony interrupted their conversation, and the two of them cast their gazes in the direction he was pointing at the same time, while Batman had noticed the distant picture early on, and the brows under the mask were slightly frowning. wrinkled.

There is something wrong with the pedestrians in this block. Apart from ordinary citizens, there are several people wearing large coats, looking left and right for a fixed time, as if they are on guard for something.

Not a criminal, not so much a criminal as──.

"Plain clothes." Dick was the first to express their conjecture, and several people accelerated their speed. As soon as they approached Philomena, they saw the baroque building not far away that was blown up into the sky in an instant.

The huge blast wave almost startled Philomena, who seldom went out. The little girl held the note tightly in her hand, and stared blankly at the blown-up building.

The huge marble blocks that were splashed fell on the concrete floor and sidewalk like falling meteorites. The pedestrians on the road that had just heard the explosion were running in panic, and among them, Filo who was standing still. Mina looked striking.

"Why isn't this woman running away here──" before Damian finished speaking, a dignified voice sounded. A man with a dagger and a wakizashi suddenly appeared in front of Philomena: "Why are you staying here, why don't you go!"

The conversation between the two sounded a bit funny to Damian. The man with the bow and arrow looked like some secret agent, but at this moment he was stopped by a little girl who didn't understand anything.

"...Can I save people too?" A low voice came from the hesitant little girl, and the three people present were slightly stunned, only Damian didn't make any movement, his eyes were still looking at him. Looking at the man with the bow and arrow.

As if he was aroused, the man squatted down slightly, staring directly at the little girl who spoke wildly.

The smell of the explosion in the distance came faintly, and the unpleasant smell of gunpowder smoke made Philomena wrinkle her nose slightly, while the man in front of her paused and pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind her. give her.

The 11-year-old Philomena stretched out her hand in a daze to take the sharp arrow: "Excuse me──"

The man stood up, the quiver on his back swayed slightly with his movements, and he said in a deep voice: "If you are not afraid of trouble, I will go to you, remember──"

"My name is Shimada Hanzo."

The well-timed Hanzo didn't seem to explain why Loki wanted them to watch Philomena's memory.

"Maybe he just wants to make you feel uncomfortable?" Tony sat bored on the edge of the dojo, watching Hanzo's training Philomena: "After all, Loki is a very naive person. If I ask you, he will make Nothing strange."

"No." Batman retorted silently: "Every time Loki appears, he has his purpose. Most of the lies are mixed with the truth, making the lies more difficult to see through."

"The sticking point may be Hanzo."

"Speaking of which, wouldn't Loki forge Philomena's memories? I don't believe he would honestly show us these memories." Dick had been thinking about this matter, and Loki mentioned Hanzo naturally. There is his reason, and it may even be to attract them to pay attention to Hanzo, and they even have to distinguish whether the memory is real or not in this memory, which is indeed quite difficult.

"It's possible." Batman paused for two seconds. His sophisticated brain had already sorted out all the details in his mind when he entered the memory, but he really hasn't found any contradictions with the memory so far. , including the weirdness that Philomena's identity was erased by Overwatch after she joined Overwatch.

It can only be said that Rocky has not done anything to Philomena's memory so far.

The Philomena in her memory was thrown to the ground by Hanzo again, and the wooden knife in her hand came out and fell aside.

Hanzo stood up straight. Philomena rushed far away when she fell to the ground due to rushing forward to attack. The man was silent for two seconds, then reached out and took a can of cold water that was not very cold, and handed it to Wei Wei lying on the ground. In front of Philomena, who was panting heavily.

The friendship between the two people who are both teachers and friends seems too good to Dick. Philomena looks happier than in the cold adoptive parents' house. Even if there is no expression on her face, that face is also Slightly softening the edges and corners: "Thank you, Mr. Hanzo."

"Can I ask a question?"

"Why are you so nice to me? I don't think—with all due respect—you don't seem like someone who would just pick up apprentices on the street."

After Hanzo was silent for a few seconds, a slight sadness crept into his words, and the man finally said, "I once had a younger brother named Genji."

"He died in a family conflict, so I left my family."

After such a brief narration, Philomena seemed a little at a loss. The girl who had gradually grown was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with the water bottle that Hanzo gave her beside her, and the bottle was slowly dripping water on the ground. .

Philomena didn't try to continue asking, but it seemed that telling such a story was no longer so difficult for Hanzo.

"Genji was young when he died, and his last wish was to make the world free from disaster...so I joined Overwatch."

Philomena, who sat cross-legged on the ground, fell into silence. After a while, Philomena said, "In this case, do you want to pass on Genji's beliefs, Mr. Hanzo?"

"This kind of thing is irrelevant." Hanzo did not reply directly to Philomena's words, and the conversation between the two seemed to end here, but for the four people who were watching Philomena's memory, they finally understood why Philomena will choose a name that seems to have nothing to do with herself as the code name of the organization.

"Are you sure, Philomena?" The blond commander standing in front of the girl said in surprise, "I know the identity of Genji—Genji Shimada—are you sure?"

"I didn't inherit a simple name, Commander." Wearing a ninja uniform that is convenient for combat, the 15-year-old girl who has been taught by Hanzo opened her bright blue eyes, shining dazzling brilliance. Like a beautiful gemstone that has been polished, it is reflecting a breathtaking color.

"I have inherited a belief called hope."

The author has something to say:

Philomena:? ? ?I fooled you and didn't let you fool them, you bastard! ! !
