[Zhongyingmei] It's not a slime!

Clark was almost pissed off.

He couldn't remember how long he hadn't been so angry, and he didn't know whether to be more angry with himself or with the white can.

He flew at high speed as if venting, and after flying a full circle around the earth, he flew to San Francisco to pick up the dazed little spider on the beach, and then went to Gotham at the fastest speed.

——He had to admit that this might not be something he could solve alone.

In the Batcave that day, Bruce's voice rang in his ears very clearly again:

"What we need to face is a monster with a high IQ that has completely lost its sense of morality and possesses extremely powerful strength."

--monster.

What an apt word.

Clark thought of the Iron Man he'd seen on the new Stark Tower, the look, the eyes, the discordant eerie feeling about him that was palpitating, even frightening.

This monster is definitely not something that can be defeated by force.

Peter was carried by him, and was almost sneezed by the howling wind in mid-air.

"How?" he asked hurriedly, "Where's Ruby?"

"Let's talk about it with the bat," Clark said.

"Mr. Stark didn't do anything to Ruby, did he?" Peter was still anxious.

Clark was silent for a moment.

As soon as he thought of the things he had just encountered and the pictures he saw, his blood pressure was full on the spot, and he had the urge to fly around the earth several times.

"Go to the bat and talk about it." Clark repeated, God knows how much willpower he used to make himself a deadpan repeater.

They arrived in Gotham in no time.

It was the first time for Little Spider to come to this city, and it was also the first time he came to the Batcave, so when he came to Wayne Manor, he looked at this luxurious building and fell into deep thought.

The little spider who shed tears of poverty: He is also a superhero, why the economic gap is so big!

……

After the two entered the bat cave, they saw at a glance that there were already four people waiting for them inside.

But obviously the atmosphere between them is very bad.

Jason was sitting on a table in his red hood, a gun with a batarang thrown at his feet, and Dick was sitting on the railing, his uniform visibly scuffed and scuffed. .

Bruce stood between the two of them fully armed, with a serious face, and a cold and heavy aura shrouded the entire Batcave like night.Alfred sat in front of the computer screen with a helpless expression.

"This may be the most outrageous thing I've ever encountered." Jason said, his voice was muffled, and he was suppressing his anger, "I said a long time ago that I can't let that guy bring Ruby to me." Go, I told you already!"

"You don't want Ruby to leave just because of your selfishness! And you don't hurt your back when you stand up and talk!" Dick was obviously also very angry, "If you were the one who took Ruby to New York at that time, you certainly wouldn't have stopped her her!"

After all, who would say no to a cute little girl?

Even if he could really make up his mind, when facing Ruby's beautiful, innocent and pure eyes, he would not be able to say any words of rejection.

"I don't care, if something happens to Ruby, you don't want to know the consequences!" Jason got angry when he saw Dick like this, and his mood suddenly became worse.

"Listen, Red Hood, I'm only going to be more anxious than you." Dick scowled, "but what's the use of being anxious? You can pull out a fairy wand and turn Ruby back, or build us one A time machine?"

"At least I won't waste my fucking time here! And Bruce, I don't even understand. Even if you pay more attention to Ruby's matter, you won't find out about it until now!"

Bruce, who was suddenly hit by artillery fire: ...

"Enough." Bruce interrupted the meaningless quarrel between the two of them in a deep voice. He looked at Clark who walked in and asked, "How is it?"

Clark took a deep breath, found a chair and sat down, rubbing his eye sockets wearily.

"Ruby did have an accident." He said, "Stark did have a problem, your guess is completely correct, the only thing I wonder is why she didn't resist, she obviously disliked Stark's behavior. "

Jason and Dick exploded at the same time: "Stark's behavior? What did he do?!"

The two people who had been confronting each other just now turned to each other, their fierce eyes seemed to eat Clark on the spot.

Clark: ...

Sorry, don't want to recall, Kryptonians don't know anything.

Seeing that Clark seemed to be in a state of feigning death, the little spider, who had been pretending that he didn't exist, said awkwardly, "Uh... Anyway, it's just some bad things."

Jason yelled fiercely: "What's wrong? Didn't you graduate Chinese in elementary school? Can't even describe such trivial things?"

Peter: "..."

Why is this person so fierce...!He obviously doesn't look much older than himself!

Then Peter also fell silent.

He also didn't want to recall the scene he saw on the Stark Tower. Not only was Clark's blood pressure going to be full, but he himself was so angry that he would grow eight legs.

Looking at the unrequited expressions of these two people, Jason didn't understand anything, let alone Dick, who had been traveling in the adult world for a long time.

Dick cursed under his breath.

Jason almost exploded on the spot, he was furious: "Who the hell agreed that Ruby would go with that Stark?!"

Little Spider: "...Yes, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

He seemed to be blaming himself, his little hairy head drooped, and his voice trembled a little.

If he had been careful at the beginning——

All of this may not happen.

Jason was so angry that he walked back and forth in the Batcave several times before he managed to think normally.

"So what do we do now?" Dick asked. "Bruce?"

Bruce, who had been silent all the time, looked at Clark: "Maybe I know the answer to your question."

Clark looked up.

"Just half an hour ago, I noticed a signal from the new Stark Tower, which seemed to want to contact me." He said, "But this signal is intermittent, and it seems that there is no way to perfectly break through the firewall of Stark Industries , so I did a little favor and connected it to the Wayne Group signal."

"Signal? Is it Ruby?" Clark said with some surprise when he saw the hope.

"No." Bruce said, "He claims to be Tony Stark from eight years ago."

"........."

There was silence in the Batcave.

"Mr. Stark eight years ago?" A big question mark appeared in Peter's mind.

"Because it's so outrageous," Dick complained, "it makes people think he's not joking."

Bruce's face was expressionless, seriousness written all over his face.

"He contacted me before Clark and Peter arrived." Bruce said, looking at everyone, "meaning, he found me without knowing that I had begun to suspect Tony Stark. "

"If he's a bad joke Tony Stark made on you, it means he didn't tell himself." Jason's head was still very active, and he immediately figured out the contradiction.

"And he provided me with a lot of information." Bruce said in a deep voice, "You can listen to what he said."

After speaking, he took out the remote control and turned on the screen.

In the next second, Tony Stark's figure appeared on the electronic screen.

"Oh, hell," he said with disgust, "Can I put my data on a slightly newer satellite next time? This satellite is also running too slowly."

Bruce: "...don't talk too much, I'll put you on the Atari (note) next time."

AI Tony: "..."

you!You are so poisonous!

There was silence in the Batcave.

Peter was almost terrified by the enemy boss who suddenly appeared in his base camp: "S, S, Mr. Stark..."

AI Tony glanced at Peter suspiciously, and suddenly realized: "You are the spider baby? Well, to be precise, it seems that we are meeting for the first time."

Peter: ...It's Spider-Man, thank you.

Tony Stark didn't know who Peter Parker was eight years ago, when he was still in elementary school.

"And everyone in this room...except for the old bat and the Kryptonian, the first time I met-Tony Stark, I believe you all know me, so I won't introduce myself." Said in a tone of voice, "I'm here to discuss Ruby's issue with you. I hope we can ignore all the causes and consequences and get straight to the point, because I really don't have time to discuss the origin of species or metaphysics with you."

"I still don't get it." Clark frowned. "How can we be sure you're not that terrible Stark?"

"You don't have to believe me, Mr. Reporter." AI Tony said, "That's because you still don't know that Devil Island is equipped with a full hundred pounds of green kryptonite, which has been made into various liquids. , gaseous or even radiation weapons. You also don’t know that the security system in the new Stark Tower is directly connected to the nuclear launch system of the White House. Once it is breached, most of the world will suffer. Of course, you don’t know Now Ruby can no longer possess anyone except White Can... She is not even afraid of fire and ultrasonic waves, which means that White Can has no weakness at the moment. If you don't cooperate with me, you will be evil| The beaches of Devil's Island are unreachable, and he slaughtered you like a "landing on the beach" with invincibility mode (Note), yes, I used the right word, 'slaughter'... I am not scaremongering."

Clark was dumbfounded.

"Do you understand what I mean, heroes." AI Tony said, the usual smile on his face disappeared, "I hope you can understand how difficult our situation is now, and I hope you can understand what you are facing. What a terrible enemy you really are, instead of doubting your most capable teammates here... Well, am I bragging?"

"If everything this Stark says is true," Bruce ignored all the nonsense from AI Tony, "that means we're going to have a tough battle to fight."

"Are there any questions?" AI Tony raised his chin slightly.

Peter raised his hand.

"Oh, spider baby, please ask." AI Tony said.

"If you can connect to the new Stark Tower..." Peter asked in a low voice, "can you connect us to Ruby? Like... remote video?"

Everyone present: ...Damn, this is a good idea!

Peter Parker looked stupid, but he was surprisingly smart!

AI Tony paused.

In fact, this proposal is not so fanciful, but feasible.

However, this will increase the burden on his memory, and also increase the risk of Ruby's exposure.

but……

He thought of the child's distrustful expression, her almost desperate eyes, and her lonely back when she stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the whole of San Francisco.

Maybe she needs them too, just as they need her.

So, after a while, he heard his own voice say, "...Okay, I'll try."
