Hero, you have crossed [Comprehensive Yingmei]

This sentence was said like a pure black joke, with a strong sense of irony.Hernan should have been baffled, should have been annoyed by the other party's arrogance.But the strange thing is that he didn't, he really understood what Batman meant.

Hernan thought of Kirk.Then he looked at Lucas again.Superman understood what the other was saying.He completely calmed down because of this.

The change in Superman's attitude made the air less tense than before.Wonder Woman sensed his looseness and knew his character very well.So Becca nodded actively:

"OK, I understand." She didn't really 'understand', after all, it wasn't long before Becca learned that there were travelers from the parallel world.But she was used to making decisions for Hernan when he was unwilling to let go. "Okay, boys. Let's all grow up a bit. If the purpose is the same, there is no point in arguing."

Hernan acquiesced to her words.Superman in black stopped talking, and Kal-El on the side wanted to ask a few times, but closed his mouth at the last moment.The little reporter from the Daily Planet would like to ask this 'Batman' some inside information.He also wanted to confirm whether the other party was the Gotham monster in the submission.

But Karl didn't ask the question in the end.He is never stupid, and more sensitive to a lonely person.Carl could feel the rejection of Batman in the darkness in front of him.This kind of repulsion even surpassed Hernan, who had just been satirized by him, and then comforted... This is weird.

The weirdness made Karl uneasy.

Beka waited quietly for a few seconds, and after confirming that no one raised any objections, he said that he wanted everyone to return to the Justice Building together for a long-term discussion.After all, no matter how late the Gotham police arrived, they had completely surrounded the building.Becca looked at the rich man in Gotham who had already lost his vital signs with pity, and looked at the kind grandma who fell with the dead dog with disgust and contempt.

"...Yes. I want her. Give her to me."

The beautiful female warrior asked directly without looking back.Hernan paused, knowing that Becca was not asking him, but Lucas.Superman glanced at his brother again, and Lucas didn't respond as if he didn't hear him.So Superman said, "I don't mind."

This style... made Batman frowned again.But he didn't intend to make a sound to stop it, he always knew the priorities.Moreover,

"If you can, could you please wait for me outside the building." His wording was still very decent, but unfortunately it didn't contain much 'inquiry'. "I want to talk to him."

Hernan and Becca were startled together.They were confused for a moment, and Hernan even glanced at Karl.Then he found that his 'peers' were also very dazed.After reacting, Hernan clenched his fists.

"……what?"

But their reactions were a little faster than the parties concerned.The person involved, Lucas Falcone, has been in a state of semi-fugue.He is not a hero, as long as these people don't beat his head and blood in front of him, he can keep silent until he is named by the person he least wants to face and who doesn't know how to face it.

The already pale face of the blond youth seemed to turn a little paler.Lucas stood where he was, and even turned his head back slightly stupidly.

"……I…?"

His question was weak.This Dakseid bloodline looked inexplicably immature and weak at this moment.But unfortunately, this may arouse the protective desire of Superman and Wonder Woman, but it has no effect on the dark Gotham Knight in front of him.

"Yes. Mr. Lucas."

"you."

……

…………

………………

Both Hernan and Becca left inexplicably and disturbed.It is also difficult for these two extraordinary people to explain why they are worried about Lucas, who is obviously much stronger than the mortal hero, but they are both instinctively worried.

It made Karl feel a little bit of strange amusement and poignancy.The young Superman didn't know why the latter came, and he tilted his head to let the sourness completely dissipate.

"He won't hurt him." Superman from the parallel universe comforted in a low voice. "Although it is not wise to make such a judgment directly. But I think he can be trusted."

This is very correct nonsense.But it may be that Carl's voice is too gentle, and his attitude is really very good.Hernan actually felt that he was comforted.He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he did care too much about Lucas.

But Becca's focus is obviously different from his.Wonder Woman is also the first to meet Superman's counterpart.The beautiful and powerful ex-princess couldn't help raising her eyebrows.Becca looked Carl up and down, until he scratched his face uncomfortably.

"...how are you, boy." Wonder Woman smiled meaningfully. "Let's get to know each other formally. My name is Becca."

"I love the strong."

…Hernan coughed dryly.He, and, felt inexplicably unhappy again.But he didn't look back, and didn't intend to laugh at the blushing, innocent 'self'.

Superman gave Becca a fierce look, and then he was shocked to find that he... was also defending Carl.

………………

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was even more embarrassing than these three people.

Lucas's guard is so obvious, his standing posture is no longer protective, and even his breathing is no longer as relaxed as before.

Lucas couldn't help feeling embarrassed, but he didn't understand why he was embarrassed.It stands to reason that he saved the Wayne family.At this moment, this matter seems to have completely and completely flown out of his mind.

He seemed to remember only one thing.Just remembered Bruce Wayne, who was quite different to him, smiling as he walked upstairs.

……this is too scary.He never thought it would turn out this way—it never occurred to Lucas that it was such a terrible thing.

He couldn't even think of his thoughts openly.Lucas seemed to feel shame and anxiety.Even if he didn't need to think that way at all.

But in the end he couldn't get away from why he didn't want to face Batman alone.

Since his immature and young past life, his first favorite hero was the lonely Batman.At that time, he didn't know much about the dark knight, he just longed for the messenger of justice walking in the shadows.And when he got older and no longer believed in fairness and justice, he still habitually chased that black figure who could no longer convince him.

Lucas is able to admit that 'Batman' has had a deep and wide influence on him.But that's not why he likes Bruce.

---Yes, that's right.He's in love with Bruce Wayne.

………damn it.

He's in love with Bruce Wayne.He's not in love with the phantom of Batman, he's not in love with a selfless hero.He fell in love with the young man who was chasing dreams and justice, but also had ambitions and selfish desires, who was confused and angry... He fell in love with the young man who had ten thousand reasons to enjoy life, but still hoped to help Gotham Mr Wayne.

He didn't like a hero too great to describe, unimaginable.The person he likes can be seen and touched, as if they are willing to give him a chance.

...Because of this, it is even more difficult for Lucas to face Batman in front of him.He had given up his fear very early on, but it was still hard not to feel guilty at this moment.

And before he figured out what the source of this guilty conscience was.Batman, who was silent enough, took the initiative to speak.His voice was still very steady, but this time it was not as hoarse as before:

"You must be very surprised why I have to talk to you alone, Mr. Lucas. I have to admit that you are an existence that is completely out of my plan."

"I didn't find your name on the Justice League's official website, but in today's crisis, you still chose to come forward."

He stopped saying 'thank you for your magnificence'.But it has succeeded in complimenting Lucas even more uneasy.But he still remembered that it was Batman standing in front of him instead of Hernan, so he didn't ask the other party to speak directly.

…After all, there is a price to pay for Batman to cut straight to the point.Lucas wasn't sure he could handle the thrill.

"This impressed me deeply. I heard the conversation between you and that woman, and I have also seen Darkseid in my universe... I understand what this means. I understand how much effort you have put in."

Lucas moved his throat.His expression showed a bit of astonishment—after all, he never thought that he would be praised by Batman (of the main universe) one day.But he really understands the characteristics of this hero, he thinks he still understands 'Batman'.

Therefore, he was even more disturbed.

...Mr. Wayne did not expect that his words would have the opposite effect.But that didn't discourage him, he was a man who couldn't, couldn't be discouraged.Even if the appeasement doesn't work, he will still finish the next sentence:

"But, Lucas."

This, however, appears as a matter of course.

"I'm sure I probably understand what you've given away better than anyone—even your friends. I guess not even Superman actually saw Darkseid alive, did he?—but .”

"...But I still hope you stay away from Gotham."

Lucas felt a chill down his spine.Perhaps he should be astonished, distressed, angry.But in fact, he only felt a chill behind his back, as if he had been seen through by the other party.

"exactly,"

The astonishment on Lucas's face was not fake.Instead of being as enraged and lost as Batman expected, he took the Gotham Knight by surprise.But he never wavered, and finally released his trump card.

Lucas stared in astonishment at the man in front of him... the savior of Gotham, the Dark Knight, Batman... took off his mask.

"Be more precise."

The slightly older Bruce Wayne has calm ice blue eyes.

"I hope you don't get that...don't get the Waynes involved again."

Lucas' breathing and heartbeat seemed to stop together.For such a short moment, bewilderment seemed to creep up on his handsome face.but

But in the next second, the bewilderment turned into shock.

A suppressed and angry voice suddenly came from the shadows.That voice was still trembling with rage:

"Why do you decide my business?"

"Who do you think you are?!"
