The world needs more heroes

For a long period of time, there has been no change in this world. The organization where the Iron Fist of Mercy is located neither came to this world through a wormhole, nor did any major events that caused the fall of superheroes.

With such peaceful days, the time came to June of the next year, which was the time for graduation.

After Dick Grayson tried his best to persuade Damian, he finally got the whole family to prepare for Philomena's birthday party on June [-]th.

For this reason, Dick even pestered Barbara for a while, and the annoying Batgirl held his eyes for him to see what kind of bracelets and bags high school girls would like more.

After all, except for Philomena's precious-looking ruby ​​earrings, Dick has never seen Philomena wearing any jewelry.

Philomena is indeed not a girl who has high demands on material things. Even after getting the black card from Bruce, Philomena just swipe it when she buys groceries every day, and even the shopping malls owned by Wayne are rare. Go, let the mall managers who had vaguely guessed Philomena's identity feel sorry.

After all, it is a very profitable thing to please the daughter of the big boss.

The extremely disgusting Dick who wrapped Philomena's gift and was disgusted by a red bucket didn't expect that he and Philomena would usher in a long separation.

After thinking for many days, Philomena finally decided to temporarily stop her studies after graduating from high school. American high schools use a credit system. Basically, as long as Philomena has enough credits, she can choose to graduate. Therefore, in a certain For a while, Genji almost disappeared from the sky above Metropolis, replaced by an increasingly busy Superman and the occasional Overwatch member.

Metropolis seems to have returned to the time when Superman never passed away. The orderly appearance made Loki who was hiding here gritted his teeth. Obviously, the group of bats should lure Hanzo out, but let alone Hanzo now, the entire Overwatch It's as if the gods have disappeared.

Philomena, who is being pressured by her studies, has no time to care about what Loki is thinking in her heart. She finally passed the calculus exam and successfully graduated with all credits. On her birthday──or That is, the day he was picked up by Detective Grayson──the day he was kidnapped by Dick Grayson and taken to Wayne Manor, where he went to a birthday party that he had never had before.

On June [-]th, Gotham's rare bright sun shone brightly. The dark clouds that had enveloped the entire city in the past dissipated today, and the bright light shone straight into the Wayne mansion with the curtains drawn.

Philomena stood in the room with bright and clean windows, looking out through the clean glass, and the lively atmosphere at the dining table behind her seemed to have nothing to do with her.

But if you observe carefully, you will find that Philomena casts her attention on the dining room from time to time, her cold and sharp face has softened slightly, and the Chaos Stone on her left ear is still emitting light. Subtle magical energy, half a year has passed since the attack by the merciless iron fist, and it has also been a year since Philomena got the Overwatch system.

This year was probably the most ups and downs in Philomena's life. Since getting the Overwatch system, Philomena has done things that she once dreamed of but didn't do.

A slightly noisy voice behind was torturing Philomena's eardrums, but she didn't feel agitated or angry at all, slight footsteps sounded in her ears, and a smiling voice appeared beside Philomena's ear: " Happy birthday, Phil."

A cold and hard touch appeared on Philomena's cheeks, and she reached out to take the ice water that Dick Grayson stuck to her face: "To be exact, June [-]th is not my birthday."

It was the day Philomena was abandoned by her own mother when she was a baby.

However, Philomena, who once refused to mention these pasts, has been able to talk about this matter herself. There is no anger or unwillingness in her blue eyes, and all the spikes on her body seem to have been removed by her: " I gotta go."

"What?" As if Dick didn't hear clearly, the young man stood sideways in front of Philomena, bent slightly, and there was a smile in his crooked eyes: "The birthday party hasn't started yet, you still want to Where are you going?"

"The one who lost to me in the bet two days ago was you, don't go back on your word."

"Not now." Philomena said solemnly. While concentrating on graduation, Philomena would occasionally take time out to think about whether to tell others about her decision.

Tell Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson.

Philomena still vaguely remembered how angry Dick looked when she finally dialed her phone when she was missing for three days last time. How many years could Dick be angry with his own decision.

However, time can no longer be delayed. In the past six months, dark creatures have appeared three or four times. Fortunately, the Justice League and the Avengers have notified Philomena in time, so that these dark creatures did not cause casualties on the earth.

More and more dark creatures came from the world of Alastor. However, after realizing that there were enemies as terrifying as the Iron Hand of Mercy in other worlds, Philomena knew that she had to fight with Alastor. If you want to contact me, at least she must solve the problem of dark creatures, and not allow herself to be attacked.

However, another world is completely unknown to Philomena. It is a journey that only he can step into. Alasdair once said to Doctor Strange that if Philomena finally decides to step into that world If so, Doctor Strange will deliver news to Alasdair instead of Philomena.

After receiving her graduation certificate two days ago, Philomena contacted Doctor Strange. After telling the other party about this matter, Doctor Strange looked at her strangely.

"You are indeed a magical child...you are worthy of being the apprentice that Eldwin likes." How dangerous it is to travel alone to a world that is completely unknown and has powerful enemies. Doctor Strange is just talking to Doma It can be seen in the battle of Tom.

And Philomena was even an underage girl.

"I will notify Eldwin, and there will be news in about three days. Then you come directly to the temple, and I will take you there." Doctor Strange solemnly said to Philomena: "Although I cannot represent this Everyone in the world, but I'm still grateful for everything you've done to protect the worldline."

Philomena didn't need to thank her, she just made up her mind to do what she should have done long ago.

She got the Overwatch system from that world, used this system to protect countless people, and she had to pay her own price for this acquisition.

Alasdair's request is one of the prices. The mage must seal the gate between the two worlds, at least not allowing dark creatures to come through at will.

That's why Philomena, who made up her mind, let Dick tie herself to Wayne Mansion for this birthday, thinking... maybe she shouldn't leave without saying goodbye.

"Watching Pioneer has a mission... for a long time, and I have already signed up." Filomina pursed her lips, and pushed her decision to the commander again, and then continued: "At least One year, and the date of departure is tomorrow."

"I'm leaving."

Philomena felt that she couldn't describe Dick's expression after hearing her words. The happy expression was still frozen on his face, and the corners of his naturally raised mouth looked extremely stiff now. His blue eyes understood Philome After Mina's meaning, she blinked a little blankly, and slowly stood up straight with her slightly bent body in order to match Philomena's height.

She saw Dick pull the corners of his mouth with some difficulty, showing a smile that was uglier than crying: "Really, I got it."

Philomena couldn't eat the whole birthday party. She saw Dick obviously avoiding her eyes. Almost everyone at the table noticed this, but Philomena never found a chance to talk to Dick. Open your mouth.

After all, Philomena is not a person who is good at talking. Compared with talking to others, she has more experience in making people shut up.

Until Philomena was about to leave Wayne Manor and return to the temple to make final preparations that night, the hanging ring in the girl's hand was already slowly lighting up, and the golden circle sparked in the air, and Philomena suddenly I saw a figure falling from the sky and appearing in front of me.

Dick, who had been avoiding Philomena throughout the birthday party, finally appeared. The Blue Haven Vigilante who fell from the sky seemed to have some complicated emotions in his blue eyes, and he blocked Philomena. With the golden teleportation door that was still wearing flames when it rotated, on the opposite side of the door, there was an unscrupulous mage with a long horse face looking in this direction.

However, Philomena's attention was all on Dick who was blocking her. She wanted to speak but didn't know what she should say. This time she went to the world of Alasdair and she couldn't guarantee that she would be alive. When she came back, there was no guarantee when she would come back.

Everything in that unknown world is a huge question mark for Philomena, but she must solve the worries of the dark creatures before returning to this world with those terrifying enemies with an iron fist.

For this reason, she worked hard for half a year, and only after she got a high school diploma did she really start to implement her plan.

It is impossible to go to other people for this matter, because only the Overwatch system possessed by Philomena can cause damage to the dark creatures with the origin, and no matter who Philomena brings, it is impossible to help her.

This is the journey that Philomena is destined to complete by herself.

"Listen, Phil." Dick's voice seemed a little hoarse, as if the whole party was thinking about this matter, until Philomena was about to leave before putting aside all scruples: "One year Well, a few years is fine... No matter how long it takes you to complete your mission, I have only one request."

Standing in front of the space-time rift, the strange mage beside him glanced at Philomena slightly: "Are you afraid?"

"No." Philomena stared straight ahead firmly, seeming to still be lingering in her mind what Dick Grayson said before she left yesterday: "I promised a man to live."

【You have to live, live to see me. 】

"So I'll survive."
