[Comprehensive British and American] The life of the villain and the body of the hero

The Winter Soldier incident hit James hard. The child woke up in the treatment cabin of Fort Solitude, but just stared at the snow-white ceiling with empty eyes, letting AI scan and scan him, and give him a full body checkup. .

"Your bones are connected in a timely manner, and there will be no sequelae." This is the conclusion Clark got from the AI.

But James wasn't in any joyful mood, he still lay flat and looked up in silence.

"Jim." Clark sat next to his adopted son, putting his hand on the back of James's.

"What happened to him in the end?" James slept for two days, his voice a little hoarse.

Clark took the water brought by the AI ​​robot, carefully and gently lifted his adopted son, and slowly fed a few sips of water by bringing the paper cup close to his dry lips. His voice was calm: "The Winter Soldier is missing, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. he."

"What about Hydra!" James said a little louder, "Are we going to let them go like this?"

"And what do you want to do, kid?" Clark asked nicely. "Find them and kill them all?"

"No, I didn't think so, but we're going to stop them."

Clark sighed. He put down his glass and said slowly, "When I was about your age, I was just an ordinary town boy with super powers. Not-so-cool guys take it away, I can run to world championships, but I can't play on the varsity team, and the cheerleaders will never cheer for me."

James tilted his head to listen, and Clark rarely talked about his past.

"But the advantage of growing up in a small town is that the people there are so kind, at least much better than those in big cities. So the first time I really saw the metropolis, when I was planning to put down roots there , I was stunned by her beauty and complexity. She is so beautiful and dazzling in the sun, but every night, I can hear the voice of evil. It makes me restless and unable to sleep. I am so powerful, but always How can it be possible to just sit back and watch the tragedy happen?"

Clark sighed deeply again, rubbed his hair and continued: "So, I started to try to do some good things. I saved innocent people, I protected civilians, I prevented crimes, and I even attempted to interfere in natural disasters. I Wearing myself out, people see me as a hero, but I don't want to be a hero, I just can't... sit back and watch. As time goes on, I meet more people like this, and we bond together, Volunteer to give everything to defend the world."

"Justice League." James murmured, "I guess you and Bruce are the heroes of the Justice League."

"Yeah, me and Bruce, we put a lot of effort and money into our alliance. I lost a lot fighting crime, and so did Bruce. But the harder you try, the more you feel like it was all for naught...you caught a Bad guys, there will always be ten new ones. If you save one person, there will always be more people you can't save in time. Even the Justice League must abide by the rules of human society, negotiate with greedy and selfish human governments, face For the suspicion and fear of human beings because of ignorance, even if we catch criminals who deserve to die, we can only watch them escape from justice and hurt innocent people again."

Clark spread his hands: "Look, this is the damn dilemma that the Justice League faced back then: we give everything but get nothing. Because we are justice, super criminals can disobey human rules, but superheroes can't. Evil It's all over the place, like it's never, ever going to be eradicated."

"Superman...Superman wants to use strong means to change this, and he thinks his teammates in the alliance will understand." Clark's voice lowered, with indescribable sadness: "But it's still useless, just let the world become more pathetic.”

"False justice." James said suddenly: "The world that Superman got is a false world without a soul."

"Yes." Clark twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled stiffly: "He is a complete fool, but he is so desperate."

James stared at Clark for more than ten seconds before hesitatingly said, "You and Superman...you...were you...on Superman's side? Is that why Bruce refused to forgive you? "

He asked anyway, and his powers of observation were truly astonishing.

"...Yes, I was on Superman's side. Too much useless sacrifice, I can't watch, Jim, I can't accept the world as it is."

"Bruce, he supports Batman? Then his injury was also caused by the war?"

"Well, of course he's always on Batman's side, and his injury...was breaking his back in a fight with Superman. To keep fighting, he found that mean Constantine, and the magic cost him A heavy price, but it only temporarily healed Bruce's back. But it was enough for Bruce, he will not give in and betray Batman."

"People say that Superman killed Batman later, and they died together. Did Bruce lose Batman? He lost his best friend, so he was so sad?" James' voice choked up.

"And his son, Bruce's son died because of these things. You said Superman killed Batman, and in a way, he did. He killed him and destroyed everything he held dear. Batman's city, his family, his body and their hard-earned friendship, just for Batman to lose everything. He blames him, hates him, blames all his faults on Batman You see, Jim, it's easier and more comfortable to blame someone else."

"I know, it says because the Joker is Batman's enemy."

"After the war, the effect of magic maintenance disappeared, and Bruce was paralyzed. I accepted the punishment, but after a few years, I left the prison and found Bruce to talk. Finally, we reached an agreement and lived together as ordinary people. It’s no longer our responsibility to ask about superheroes, or where humanity is headed next.”

James frowned slightly at this time: "Why did Bruce agree?"

"Because even if Batman's side wins, they also know that all this is meaningless. Jim, do you really think that the future and safety of mankind should be pinned on a few superheroes with uncertain tempers?" Clarke said The tone became sharper: "With superheroes or without them, what is the difference to humans? Before there was no Superman, before there was no Justice League, the human world was not destroyed because of this; after the Justice League, this world also No more justice. Why do people need superheroes? No, they don't."

James pursed his lips, trying to refute but couldn't.

"This world is like this, and human nature is like this. There is darkness where there is no light, and there is only sunlight without night, and human beings cannot survive. Besides, life and death are the laws of nature. Natural disasters and man-made disasters happen all the time. Die. It's like stopping a flower from dying naturally, it's pointless and stupid."

"Yeah, that's what I want to tell you. You think we should save the Winter Soldier and punish Hydra. But Jim, what about after this? Do you think we should save more people? Stop more How many villains like Hydra? And then? Do you want to re-form a Justice League or S.H.I.E.L.D. to be the savior of this world?"

"It's not like that, I just, just can't help it..." James bit his lip, not knowing what to say.

Clark showed a clear and bleak smile: "I know, you just can't just sit idly by like I did back then. Listen to me, Jim, forget about the Winter Soldier and Hydra. Hydra naturally has people Will deal with it, but definitely not you."

James closed his eyes, clenched and loosened the fists around him.Clark checked the time and was about to leave to go to the kitchen to prepare lunch.Being able to say these words is already his acme. If James still can't figure it out, he has no other way.

And when Clark got up to leave, James suddenly spoke——

"The world is corrupted not because bad people do bad things, but because good people do nothing."

Clark's footsteps stopped, he didn't look back, but continued to hear his adopted son say: "You decided to stand by, but I don't want to. Even if I can't fight Hydra now, I will wait until I have the ability The day we dealt with it."

Panney Group is one of the top ten largest companies in the world, involving multiple industries including real estate, energy development, transportation, urban construction, and luxury goods.The owner of this group is a man in his 40s who is still full of charm. He has a handsome figure and wears an elegant three-piece suit, and he walks easily and naturally among the upper class.

The most important thing is that this diamond king... is still unmarried.

Compared with Tony Stark, who didn't know he was a rich N generation, this Mr. Tim Pennyworth kept himself clean and never had any scandals with glamorous actresses or young models.He looks like a gentleman, with a gentle temper, witty and humorous, but anyone who is familiar with this president knows that it is difficult for Mr. Pennyworth to really get close to anyone, and he rarely smiles really.

Panney Group is a group that rose suddenly 30 or [-] years ago.At that time, the god on earth had just ended his dictatorship, and the development of civilization in human society was recovering a little bit. The Penney Group took advantage of this good opportunity to have the business side by side with the old Stark Group today. Achievement.

But no one knows where the initial capital of the Penney Group came from. It is said that the water behind Mr. Pennyworth is deep.But those who are well-informed probably still know that when Penny Group was founded, its CEO was not Tim Pennyworth, but Lucius Fox.This name may not be heard by most people now, but you must have heard the name of Bruce Wayne.

Oh, everyone knows who Bruce Wayne is!Once the richest man in Gotham, a playboy with billions of assets?No, Mr. Wayne isn't world famous for being that - Bruce Wayne is immortalized for being Batman.

This was verified by Superman himself with a wanted warrant, so no one dared to question its authenticity.

Before Lucius Fox founded the Penny Group, he was the CEO of the Wayne Group, and the Wayne Group suffered a devastating attack during Superman's reign.However, only the obvious industries were destroyed, and a large amount of funds disappeared in the end.

People speculate that the money may end up in the hands of Fox.Taking advantage of the fact that Batman was killed by Superman and the Wayne family had no heirs, this despicable man stole all the money from the Wayne family and started his own company.

But some people say that the money was originally donated to Lucius Fox by Batman after he knew that he would die.After all, in the Wayne Group back then, Bruce Wayne really didn't care about things, and relied on Fox to manage the company's affairs.But it's also understandable, where does a vigilante who patrols Gotham all night get the energy to focus on the company's development?

Fox didn't leave the Penney Group to his own blood or relatives, but to this Mr. Tim Pennyworth.But everyone is not surprised, because when Fox was alive, Tim was already a senior manager of Penny Group.His management ability is very strong, and most of the rise of Panney Group is due to him.And it is said that Tim also worked in the Wayne Group and had an old relationship with Bruce Wayne.However, the files related to Batman were all destroyed for some reason, and the original employees died and ran away. No one can confirm this.

No one knows that Lucius left the Penney Group to Tim because it was supposed to be Tim's stuff.

"You say it again?" Tim Pennyworth stared at the manager in front of him with sharp eyes.

Under the pressure of the president's gaze, the poor manager's forehead began to ooze sweat: "I don't know why there was such a mistake, Mr. Pennyworth. Someone secretly withdrew that part of the funds, and no one knew they were How did you do it. But the money was changed back two months later without anyone noticing it, if I didn’t occasionally check the historical accounts and found something wrong, I would check... sir?"

Tim pursed his lips, and said briefly, "You just said you were going to call the police? Don't go, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore."

"but……"

"Let him take it if he wants, take as much as he wants, don't make a fuss, and don't tell others."

The manager nodded quickly. Although he didn't understand the reason why the president did this, it was a wise president, and he didn't need to ask more about his superiors' thoughts.After the report was over, he immediately bid farewell to the president and escaped from this stressful luxurious office.

And Tim slumped on the leather chair, as if he had lost all his strength.

"You're still alive." Tim covered his eyes with his hand, raised his head and murmured in a low voice: "You're still alive, that's great, Bruce...Father...but why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you come to see me? "

The author has something to say: This chapter is a transition chapter, so the plot doesn't make much progress, it's just an ending.But emotionally speaking, this is the reason why James finally embarked on the road of a hero.If the campus bullying incident made him distinguish the difference between justice and power, and Mangruni gave him the courage to face all difficulties, then the effort that the stupid author spent on the Winter Soldier incident was on the one hand for the emotional line of cp, and on the other hand On the one hand, it is to let James understand the meaning of a hero.

Heroes become heroes in the first place because they cannot stand by and watch other people's tragedies.

Well _(:з」∠)_Actually, the stupid author’s outline is to end the Winter Soldier incident in three chapters, but… it says…

By the way, the conflict between Clark and James' thoughts is also a conflict in the mind of a stupid author. I don't know how you guys think about superheroes (I mean a more serious view, not the kind of fans who are fans of brothers and sisters!)

The part of the third little Tim is an easter egg, at least explaining where the Wayne family's money went, and where Tim went.Afterwards, the whereabouts of the second and fourth young masters will be explained along with the plot, and Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn will also show up. →_→ Guess who their adopted daughter is, there will be a surprise!

I'm thinking about whether to put the plot of Inception of Dreams up, and the friends who want to watch "squeak", come~~~~
