"This... where should I start?" Superman froze for a moment, and he subconsciously looked at Diana.

"Don't ask me." The woman waved her hand, "I've only seen him once so far."

"None of that matters." Batman pursed his lips unhappily. "I need to know why he's on my tower."

He repeated again: "My tower."

The woman looked at Batman with a smile: "Although that is your tower, in theory, he is you."

"Who cares about this?" Batman kicked the floor hard, and the swivel chair gurgled half a circle, staring at Superman angrily, hissed: "I thought you would be more vigilant some."

"Sorry, this is what I promised." The woman turned her head slightly.

……several days ago.

Bruce: "I want to go to the watchtower."

Dick was a little surprised: "It's unlikely, Bruce. No ordinary person has ever been to a watchtower. Besides, if you want to look down from the sky, you just need to call Superman."

"Why are you calling Superman?"

Dick's eyes shifted slightly: "...things between you are very complicated, although it's not like the Gotham tabloids said..."

"You mean I tried to have a crush on Superman? I attacked Superman's secret lover because of love and hatred?"

"No, no, no." Dick was shocked: "I can only say that you had a good relationship with Superman before."

He mumbled slightly, his voice was so small that only he could hear it: "But it's not all nonsense."

"Come on—" Bruce drawled, "That's my property, I paid for it, and I haven't seen it? That's outrageous."

"Although I am an ordinary person, I am an ordinary person with money."

Dick was speechless for a moment, he had spent a long time in the rich family of the Wayne family, but after all he was still that poor boy, and he would never be used to putting on such a hateful face of a rich man so righteously.

"But these are mine in the end." Dick thought sadly. "Bruce has set up enough trust funds for me over the years."

"Or I could go as Batman." Bruce spread his hands.

"No!" Dick reflexively refused.

He noticed that his emotions were too agitated, so he said a little guilty: "Except for a few people in the alliance, no one else knows that you are Batman, but they all have extremely keen observation skills..."

His dexterous tongue seemed to be tied, and he said dryly: "Tim can make a look at the Justice League's official docking station..."

Bruce showed a half-smile expression, "Tim?"

"He's the president."

Tim covered his head and called The Flash: "Hi, Barry..."

He reluctantly made a request: "I want you to take Bruce up to the watchtower for a walk."

……

"What about you? Why did you meet that me?" Batman poked blood at the question Wonder Woman was trying to avoid.

"Uh... that's when Barry and I were setting up an ice cream machine on a watchtower," Diana said.

"Excellent." Batman squeezed the word through his teeth.

"Now that the watchtower even has an ice cream machine, what's the next step? Cut down a Christmas tree?"

Superman raised his hand weakly: "It's already been cut."

……

"Oh...you are the fastest man in the world." Bruce circled the little red man curiously. "Did you get this title yourself?"

Barry: Even though something feels wrong, he looks straight.jpg.

Bruce straightened up and looked at Wonder Woman in admiration, "And you... God, I've never seen anyone as beautiful as you."

In his eyes was a kind of pure admiration, and there was a hint of disbelief, as if he was marveling at the preference of the creator, "Am I lucky enough to have dinner with you?" finger, and kissed it lightly.

Wonder Woman looked at Bruce curiously, "Of course."

Bruce raised his head and smiled happily, "My pleasure."

……

"Did you know?" Diana sat relaxed on the ground of the Fortress of Solitude, looking up at Batman: "You never praised me for being beautiful."

Batman snorted softly: "I don't need to repeat this truth-like fact."

"But you are really weird." Wonder Woman raised her eyebrows and began to think about something: "He looked at me..."

"It's a pity." Superman replied from the side.

"Yes." She stroked the mantra lasso: "He looked at me as if he was looking at a fate destined to end. He wanted to look at a flower that was about to decay."

Wonder Woman shook her head: "No one has seen me like that."

Batman was thoughtful, he turned to look at Superman: "He saw you like that too?"

He sighed: "Every time I see you, I am amazed at your nobility. Obviously human society has nothing to do with you, and you can look at the world from the sky, but you don't feel sorry for yourself at all, and choose a Dive into this life with nowhere to go."

"We've been through a lot too..." Batman said softly, "And you guys have changed a lot since we first met."

Wonder Woman shook her head: "We're making the world a better place, and it's not for nothing."

Superman smiled warmly, but said nothing.

The cold wind outside the Fortress of Solitude was howling, but inside the fortress was as warm as spring. The blazing sunlight was refracted by the crystal outer wall of the fortress, and sprinkled softly on the Dark Knight, softening the cold armor a bit.

Batman withdrew his gaze, he lowered his eyes and stared at his hands: "But your life is almost infinite, to you, this infinite life is like using a knife to spread butter on bread, The more you apply it, the thinner it becomes..."

He bit the tip of his tongue lightly. Batman sees too far and has too much wisdom. His worries about his companions have always been hidden in his heart and have never been revealed. This is not about the scars on the body, but about the heart.

"When you have worked in vain for countless years...but human beings are still like this, greedy, complicated, and unable to withstand temptation, and one day, you will be tired, your memory is full of countless old people, and you will be more and more tired every day. Desperate one day..."

"I don't want you to lose hope one day."

Batman raised his eyes, his pupils constricted slightly, as if frightened by the imaginary future.

“Paradise Island is a great place.”

Wonder Woman suddenly spoke: "I grew up there, the turquoise sea never tirelessly lapped the white sandy beach, the air smelled of sunshine and sea breeze, I trained my skills there, and when I left Paradise Island Before, I thought human beings were what the classics said—kind, hardworking, pure and friendly.”

She stared seriously at Batman's blue eyes: "I thought that if I killed the God of War, the war would stop, but human beings let me down, they never know how to live in harmony."

A warm smile appeared from the corner of her eyes: "I feel desperate for this, and even hid from the world for decades, but I was wrong."

Superman nodded: "There are always some of them that amaze me."

The heroine leaned back slightly, supporting the floor with her hands: "Courage, integrity, compassion..." She suddenly folded her legs and sat up straight.

"Bruce, it's these people who give me strength."

Batman lowered his head as if evading, he was not good at bathing in people's kindness, and he was not good at accepting others' compliments, the eyes of his friends made him feel a great burden.

"Let's talk about me again." He changed the subject abruptly.

Superman considerately did not continue to hit the straight ball at Batman, he brought a silver tray, a small exquisitely crafted teapot was placed on it, and a teacup inlaid with gold wire was matched with it, and he also took a thoughtful breath, Freezing Breath subtly lowers the temperature of the tea to just enough to drink.

"Is this my favorite cup?" Batman took the cup from Superman.

"Anyway, it doesn't take me a few seconds to go to Wayne Manor. Ah Fu always puts things in one place."

"The one you are very much like your old friends." Superman took a sip of his tea, "The ones in Arkham are sane, but they will explode with a little stimulation."

"And then?" Batman asked, "What did he do? You wouldn't say that about someone for nothing."

"He has some psychological problems... Don't look at me like this, I know you always have some mental problems... But you are different from him, he has been depressed for a long time, as long as no one bothers him, he Can sit for a day without moving, convinced he doesn't deserve help." Superman replied, "And he can't sleep all night."

"Jason knows more, but he won't say anything."

With that said, Superman opened a drawer and took out a piece of metal from it, "Tim asked me to collect this material, but it is extremely rare."

"I didn't mean to peek...but Tim has another metal." He carefully put the first metal back in the box, then handed the second to Batman.

"Dark metal." Batman said solemnly.

"If you cast it, you can see all the malice in people's hearts, and you can even read what other people are thinking." Batman pinched it and flipped it over.

"Where did Tim get this?"

Superman shook his head, expressing his ignorance: "In addition, he also experienced a shooting,"

"That bullet is exactly the same model as the one you sealed in the Batcave."

"The one that killed Martha?"

"It's that model, I can still recall that scene, the one where you didn't show any sign of resistance, he just stood there, motionless, waiting for the bullet to shoot through him." Superman's voice revealed a trace of uneasiness, no matter How many times, the sight made him terrified.

"I think he's killing himself."

"Impossible, Superman." Batman said hoarsely: "According to these descriptions, we may be in trouble."

"Take me to the watchtower, I need to see him right away."
