I used to believe in science

an hour ago.

Batman has just arrived in Metropolis. He stands in a STAR laboratory, looking at the life support cabin in front of him.

The light blue liquid soaked in the life support cabin distorted the faces of the people lying in it.But he had just walked out of a ward, and he looked at another almost identical face lying there with the same eyes closed...

Bruce thinks that a person's mind is really the key to himself. When they are alive and kicking, even two people who are similar will be ignored because of their completely different personalities and behaviors.But when they were asleep, lying down, completely relaxed, they could finally see those commonalities.

He'd seen the DNA test report, Robin had sent him, and assured that no one else knew about it yet.

So who are you?

Batman thought desperately, and sat on the chair next to him. For the first time, his mind was blank, without any plans or thoughts about what to do next.He just looked at that face, imagined Antoinette lying in a hospital bed in New York, and thought about the secrets that ran through them.

Tony asked him to take care of Antoinette, but he left.Antoinette might forgive him if he gave a good reason, but Tony never would.

"Bat." Robin knocked on the door, opened a crack and called out to him. His voice was as low as possible, but in fact, even if he yelled, he wouldn't wake anyone up. "They're waiting for you outside."

"…" Batman took one last look, stood up, and forced himself to collect his emotions before walking out the door.The laboratory opposite was temporarily requisitioned by the Justice League, and several other members were waiting for him inside, including Superman, Cyborg, Flash and Wonder Woman.

"Have you obtained the information?" Batman turned to Cyborg and asked straightforwardly. He knew that Superman had obtained a floppy disk from this Miss Mystery, which had been analyzed by Cyborg before he came. He explained here that it must have been Discovered something.

"The main thing here is an algorithm." Steel Gu nodded, and finally said in an oblique way, "I tried it on the simulator, it's a pretty terrible algorithm." Steel Gu frowned and looked at everyone, with a tone The seriousness of the alliance made other members of the alliance seriously concerned that "it can invade all networks in this world, all private information, emails, communication records, web browsing, infer the possibility of a person's future through his behavior, and screen out threats. things."

"That means that this algorithm can obtain all the information of a person without reservation." Others quickly understood the meaning of the steel bone words, Diana narrowed her eyes, very displeased with what she heard "this is a violation Private."

"How do they judge threat." Superman focuses on another aspect. "What is a threat? How can a person's nature be judged because of something he hasn't done yet?"

"The person who made this algorithm can use this algorithm to obtain information about anyone, not only those who are threatening." Batman looked at Cyborg, hoping to get a definite answer.

And Steel Bone nodded, "The most frightening thing is that this is a prototype algorithm, which can be completely customized and modified to filter the required information, such as mutants, the true identity of superheroes, and even work for criminals."

"We can't keep this kind of thing." The Flash said worriedly.

"I've been told that this floppy disk is to be brought to Hawkeye." Superman fell silent for a moment before provoking another topic.

"The Avenger?" Diana looked at him in surprise, and then became puzzled. "But why was it named Hawkeye? Who is this woman? How did she get this thing?"

"Now she can't answer us." Superman glanced melancholy at the room of the life support module, his super see-through ability allowed him to easily see the people lying there.

Batman hesitated, whether he should share the information he knew, and there were indications that this matter had something to do with Antoinette, but before he could speak, a voice helped him.

The room they were in was near the window, and a gap appeared out of nowhere, and the gap expanded into a circle around the edge to form a one-person-high portal, and three people walked out of it.

As an honorary member of the alliance, Zatanna appeared here as a matter of course, and the other two people she brought were strange faces.There's only one person here who recognizes one of those two faces, and that's Batman.

"Batman, I've brought some people who can solve some of your problems."

"You know that girl?" Batman asked calmly.

Zatanna nodded, "She is a disciple of the former Supreme Mage, we met once..." She said so, spreading her hands to introduce the mage she brought to others, "And I brought the current Supreme Mage and his companions."

"Interesting." Batman finally turned to the man, and said dryly, "Doctor Strange, I thought you were materialistic."

"Nothing is absolute, Batman." Doctor Strange was not offended by this, and was clearly eager for something else. "Can I meet her?"

For a moment everyone looked at Batman.

And Batman nodded without any hesitation, and took the lead towards the opposite room, and asked when Strange looked at the survival cabin and frowned, "You don't know her?"

"No." Doctor Strange shook his head regretfully, and glanced at his side, "The king knows her, and she was already a teacher before I joined the ancient one... the mage didn't tell me about her until Today I found a warning left by the mage." As he said this, he flipped through the medical records, even after becoming a mage, his medical knowledge was still not lost, and he easily saw the seriousness of the problem from this piece of paper "She how so?"

"We still expect to know." The Flash flashed to them in a second. He had already seen the case. As a professional CSI, of course he could understand what was written on it. "The words in her mind A miniature bomb destroyed her, but we have absolutely no idea why, where or who did it, do you have a way to fix it?"

"I can't do it." Batman wasn't expecting such a quick answer from such a prestigious surgeon, but when Strange showed his broken, twisted hands, Bruce couldn't say anything.

At this time, another mage who had been silent all this time came up to Strange and said something, Strange opened his eyes wide and turned to leave.Batman stepped forward and stopped him, "Where are you going?"

"We've got to find someone else."

Strange's words are very euphemistic, but Batman knows in a split second who they're talking about, so he snaps, "She's in a hospital in New York."

just now.

Antoinette sat on the edge of the life support cabin, looking at the face that was slightly distorted by the refraction of light through the light-colored solution.

Fortunately, there is still a chair here, otherwise her frail body might really not be able to hold it.

It has been more than a year since she saw Natalie last time, and they have lived in peace for more than a year, and they will not communicate with each other according to the agreement.But just a year later, they met again through a layer of glass, and the condition of both of them was not very good.

A piece of clothing fell on her shoulders silently. It was a white coat. She looked up and saw Batman standing beside her silently, throwing a pair of slippers in front of her.

Strange dragged her up from the ICU bed and brought her here. She was only wearing hospital gowns and barefoot. She felt a little cold in this air-conditioned room, so she accepted the other party's kindness.

But Batman didn't leave right away, he stood silently aside, like a real knight.

Maybe Strange had said something to him, like she needed protection.According to Strange, the Ancient One mage who had put them under protection before was gone, so the various forces began to prepare to attack.

Antoinette, laughing at her imagination, asked him the first question "Where is Tony... Iron Man?"

"He's off to track down whoever did the bombing. He thinks he's headed to Washington." He swallowed some news about Iron Man and strange humans with flames fighting on the highway and being crushed in a car. get off.Thankfully other Avengers arrived to stop news of the disaster.According to his professional point of view, Tony must have suffered serious injuries in this battle, but the last thing Antoinette needs now is more worry.

Because of his concealment, Antoinette didn't get too entangled in this, and the second question followed, "You can't cure her, can you?"

This is the umpteenth time this topic has been discussed today. Like all the previous answers, Batman shook his head, "There is no way with today's technology. Doctor Strange and Zatana are trying to find it from the magic field." Even Cyborg With that kind of injury, his brain is still fully functional.

"Perhaps it's not impossible." Antoinette stood up suddenly, her face was still pale, but her eyes were flickering with some kind of fanatical light, as if she had caught a life-saving straw.

Batman heard her muttering "I have to go to Tennessee, Extremis might have a way to fix it, Maya said Extremis can repair any injury and even grow new organs."

Tony opened his eyes, woke up from a long dream, and sat up from the laboratory bench.He's better than ever, and he shouldn't be feeling so refreshed now given the internal bleeding he's had from being beaten by that Extremis soldier, so Extremis must have played a role.

When he closed his eyes to feel, the data flow of the surrounding machine running rolled past his head, and he connected to one of the Stark satellites with only one thought, and all these new functions told him that it was programmed according to his way works in him.

He suddenly realized why he felt so relieved, the reactor in his chest had been removed, his chest was smooth as if it had never been hurt, Extremis had repaired all of this.

Before he could test his control over the armor, the noise from outside the door caught his attention.
