A young, handsome Superman with raised eyebrows and a smile; Lucifer Chenxi, who is holding Superman's shoulder with one hand, toasting the camera; ... and Luca, who is obviously younger than the two, staring at the camera with his head tilted S Falcone.

It was a beautiful and precious photo.It is engraved with a rather fond memory.

Lucas immediately understood what Bruce was talking about.But he was still stunned for a moment, and then the first feeling that came to his mind was——shame.

It was also a rather secret memory.It was so secretive that even Lucifer's guardian demon, Metz, didn't really know the details.

Lucas never shared the memory with anyone, and never intended it to be something to talk about.

But when he looked at Bruce Wayne's face, the anger in his heart subsided quickly.

Lucas also doesn't know how he became such a sensitive person.He found that he could actually read some kind of incredible caution from Bruce's forced calm expression——

It was as if he also knew that this was Lucas' reverse scale, but he still wanted to reach out and touch it... even if it might end up with his finger bitten off.

This made Lucas feel subtly amused.He laughed at the fact that Bruce Wayne, who hadn't been... Batman, had a side ruled by curiosity.But after being funny, he quickly reacted.

"That bastard."

There was an indescribable disgust in Lucas' tone.He stared straight at Bruce, who was gripping the steering wheel.

"Lucifer. What did he tell you?"

These are a pair of almost colorless eyes with a hint of silver light.At this time, Lucas's eyes were neither malicious nor kind, but there was something extremely certain.He seemed pretty sure that Lucifer was tricking Bruce into 'mistaking' something after he was gone...

And Lucas didn't think wrong.

Lucifer did obey him obediently and did not 'touch' Bruce.Lucifer also really helped him to see Bruce... But this does not prevent the Lord of Hell from showing something to this unique human being - Lucifer did tell Bruce a lot about Lucas.

such as,

"He said that you don't always say what you mean, and you are very prone to depression."

These are really two lovely descriptions.This inexplicable tsundere figure struck Lucas on the forehead like a thunderbolt—in an instant, his eyes widened and his ears turned red.

Bruce still looked at the young man quietly from the corner of his eye.When he noticed this expression, Mr. Wayne's back subconsciously straightened.

That's a pretty cute response, too.It's a pity that the 'cute' person's next reaction was rather rude:

"—that idiot, who can change any reaction from anyone else into what he thinks it is—wait a minute, you don't really believe it, do you?"

Lucas stared at Bruce again like a fool.It was a humane, rather youthful expression.So the driver in the well-tailored suit couldn't help laughing.

A very sincere smile appeared on Bruce's face, and even his ice blue eyes were stained with some inexplicable connivance and helplessness.

Lucas was taken aback when he saw this, he had never expected that such a real joy could appear on this face, so...loose but at ease.

After all, this is Batman's face.Even now... the owner of this face is the only heir to the Gotham clan.

But at that moment, Bruce looked quite happy.

This made Lucas feel inexplicable, unreasonable comfort.It was as if... On that night many years ago, in fact, he did nothing wrong.

"Of course I believe it. Why can't I believe it? After all, I'm so curious about you, and you've always been very friendly to me...so of course I'd like to believe that you just don't like making new friends."

"After all, if this is the case, I will have more excuses to persuade myself to give it a try."

Bruce's words seemed to have been rehearsed a thousand times and ten thousand times.He said it so naturally, as if he really thought so.The smiling young man even took the time to turn his head to look at Lucas—his eyes were so warm and serious.

This startled Lucas.

This terrified Lucas.

The blond young man with two bloods of god and devil froze in place at this unbelievable remark.He really wanted to stop Bruce Wayne's nonsense.But the conversation didn't give him that chance at all.

"I also want to apologize to you. For my misunderstandings over the years."

"That's not a polite word, Lucas. I really thought a lot about it last night... I've never tried to understand the nature of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman in all these years. I'm terrified of them, and I never, never I don't want to understand them."

"But think about it differently. If I was the one who got a glimpse of the secret last night... I think you might not get away as easily as I do."

Speaking of which, Bruce tilted his head guiltily—this made Lucas feel suffocated again.

"...you have glimpsed some secret."

He squeezed out such a weak and vicious sentence from between his teeth.

Lucas couldn't help but wonder if Lucifer had been tricked by little Wayne and said everything.

"How can you be so sure—"

"parallel world."

……

…………

Lucas paused again.He closed his mouth, and the entangled complex emotions suddenly returned to the initial guard and nervousness.

The impulse to kill and silence surged up again, but the impulse hadn't really aroused the killing intent in Lucas's heart, just because the guy who talked so eloquently was the damn Bruce Wayne, he disappeared completely again.

"Smart." Lucas heard his own voice very, very cold. "You are a genius."

The obvious low-pressure speech made the smile on Bruce's mouth froze for a moment.

... He is still not very good at chasing people who are far stronger than himself, not to mention that the one next to him is Lucas who has so many thunder points.

It took Mr. Wayne two seconds to get his mood together.His voice became gentle and humble again when he spoke again:

"I- I dropped out of school when I was very young. At that time, I read a lot of miscellaneous books, including the theory of parallel worlds demonstrated by Lex Luthor."

"You understand. At that time, I just read it as a science fiction story. But yesterday... I seem to have to apologize to you again. I heard the content of your phone call."

"'Two supermen'...Combined with the previous weirdo, I think this speculation should be the most reasonable explanation."

Yes.That's right.

He is indeed a genius.If it wasn't Lucas, if it wasn't Kirk—this man was Batman.

Whether this extremely gentle explanation made Lucas more depressed or more relaxed.But anyway...he gave up again.

Lucas wasn't a very smart guy in the first place.He shouldn't expect to be able to control the direction of this conversation on his own.

Whether it was Little Wayne's initial exploration of his relationship with Hernan and Lucifer, or his subsequent apology to ease his emotions... all these foreshadowings prevented Lucas from really continuing to grow angry.

Besides, Bruce Wayne even found out the truth himself; Hernan wasn't going to hide the existence of Kal-El anyway.

"You're really smart."

Lucas looked at the receding scenery in front of him, and the buildings not far away.His tone became calm again.

"That's why I don't understand even more. Mr. Wayne, what good does it do you?"

"Why on earth do you have to get involved in this? Don't tell me those high-sounding excuses. You also know that even if Kirk can't solve the criminal, Superman and Wonder Woman will solve it for him-I don't I understand, I don't understand what you're thinking."

"It's not house wine, it's not one of those 'prove yourself' opportunities, Wayne."

"It's going to be a war. It's a problem that can only be solved by force."

Lucas was still staring straight ahead, and he didn't look at Bruce Wayne when he said this.He didn't know why...was it because he didn't want to see Bruce's indifferent eyes, or because he didn't want the killing intent in his eyes to scare him?

Lucas didn't know.

But Bruce was looking at him.Bruce Wayne, who had driven the car into the edge of the city, was tilting his head, looking at him almost gently.

——It’s a wonderful feeling.

It's like being afraid that something will go away, like being afraid that you won't be able to hold the sand in your hand... Bruce doesn't know why.Why on earth would he tolerate Lucas' rudeness like a child?

Is it because he knows that there is actually a monster sitting next to him, but this monster retracts its claws for his sake?

Bruce didn't know either.

But when he spoke, he was still gentle and firm:

"I don't think so, Lucas."

"...you always talk about the consequences. I should thank you: ...thank you, Lucas. Thank you for your concern for my safety."

"But I still don't think you're right. Dear friend. That's why I came to your door early this morning."

"You and Superman didn't 'solve' Superman, did you?"

"I guess if you guys killed that Superman, you're not going to go home and rest—so, it's not really a fight."

"Then why can't I try to help you...and myself?"

Lucas fought back his shock.

—but he still felt the chills down his spine at Bruce Wayne's sharpness.

Little Wayne's judgment can be said to have no loopholes. After all, he didn't know that yesterday's traverser included not only the superman from another world, but also the Brainiac who deserved to be wiped out.

And if Lucas kills or captures Kal-El alive...he certainly won't be able to go home and sleep!

Lucas tensed up unconsciously.The sense of powerlessness in LUX yesterday returned—Bruce Wayne once again cut off all his retreats, leaving him with the only 'reasonable' and 'correct' choice in front of him:

That is to grant his request.

... But Lucas really didn't like the feeling of being cornered.He fell silent because of this.Lucas knew that in the end he might only be able to agree to Bruce's next request.Because Bruce Wayne could always convince him—but until then, Lucas didn't want to talk anymore.

Little Mr. Wayne on the side looked at this face that had become emotionless again, and Bruce also sighed in his heart.

He has faintly noticed this layer of personality flaws in Lucas.This young man who looks slender and beautiful - in fact, has a rather unquestionable and exclusive side.

This seemed to disgust and trouble him.But at this moment, Bruce only wanted to laugh a little.

He has witnessed the strength and cruelty of the other party.At this time, seeing Lucas really 'gloomy' and angry alone, he somehow had a sense of reality that he was indeed being treated differently by the other party.

——Just this feeling makes Bruce a little addicted.

So he maintained the smile on his face, pulled over the car and parked on the opposite side of the destination.Mr. Wayne's smile was also a little embarrassed:

"Perhaps you think my opinion is rather arrogant... But anyway, let's get out of the car."

"I have a place I want you to take a look at in advance."

"After all, I really don't want to have this date in the car all the time."
