Superhero Exchange System [Comprehensive British and American]

"After that, Master Timothy started to put on Batman's uniform to patrol. He created a harsher Batman. He kept the people of Gotham off the streets after 6 o'clock, and at the same time cracked down on criminals with stricter methods. .But I never thought that he...he almost crossed the line today."Alfred's voice trembled slightly, and his hand holding the teacup was also a little unsteady. "Thanks to you."

For a while after hearing the story, no one spoke.Emma sat next to Barry.She clenched the jeans tightly with both hands, creating creases and creases.Damian kept stuffing Alfred's cookies into his mouth like a robot, and the only sound in the room was his mechanical chewing.

Barry was the first to break the silence.

"It's not anyone's fault." Barry sighed. "He can't be so hard on himself."

"Thank you, Mr. Allen, Miss Carris." Alfred looked at Barry and Emma gratefully. "You brought Master Timothy back to normal. I haven't seen him as a teenager for a long time."

Damian put down the cookie.His green and cold eyes looked at Emma.

"Speaking of which, I'd like to ask you." Damian stared at Emma. "How on earth did you bring Drake back? Are you a magician?"

Emma glanced at Damian.

"Do you want to know? I won't tell you."

Damian: ...

"Hmph." Damian glanced over, "I'll find out sooner or later."

Alfred arranged two rooms for Emma and the others.Emma was preoccupied, she put on her clothes, left the guest room, and came to the living room of the Bat Cave.There were footsteps behind her, and Emma turned her head and saw Barry walking towards him.

Barry sat on the sofa diagonally opposite Emma.

"Can't sleep?"

Emma sighed.The blond man opposite was obviously the same as him.Both have received too much information this evening.

"I was thinking, fortunately there is Captain Cold in Central City." Barry leaned on the sofa. "It's unbelievable to say, but I really appreciate him. My colleagues, everyone in Central City, is doing well by comparison. I will give him more money next time I catch him in Midtown Jail Get some donuts."

"Yeah." Emma was amused by Barry. "Central City is really nice. When I first came to this world, I woke up in Central City..."

Having said that, Emma paused, realizing that she had never told anyone that she was not from the world of superheroes.

She doesn't belong here.

Barry didn't care. "Isn't your world pretty good too? I mean, there are superheroes there too. The Avengers are doing a good job."

Barry would be wrong, but Emma didn't refute it.She just nodded.

"Oh, that's alright."

There are no superheroes or supervillains in her world, but there are her most important family members-her parents and her younger brother.

They were silent for a while, then Emma spoke.

"I was thinking..." Emma said softly, "Why me."

"I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have any super powers, and I haven't received special agent training. Why did the task of saving the world fall on me."

"It's really unfair," Barry responded. "You take on too much."

"No." Emma shook her head. "If the system didn't choose me, if the system could choose Tim or Damian, or any superhero, they, the people of Gotham, the people of all cities, might be saved."

Barry suddenly understood the reason why the girl behaved abnormally tonight.

Why exactly did the system choose itself?Emma had asked the system countless times during her days in Seaside City, but the system never answered.It is like a machine that has been programmed to execute the instructions it should have, answering questions related to the task.

Emma lowered her head, tears pattering down the back of her hands.

"I checked the system just now, and the task of saving Red Robin was not completed. The system said... In addition to Red Robin's body, he also needs to save his heart...but I can't do it." Emma choked. .

"I found out that Tim and I think the same way. The system shouldn't choose me. There are more people who can do better than me. My mind is not bright and my body is as bad as death... I am really bad ..."

"Don't say that." Barry said seriously. "You've done well, you've done enough."

"Emma," Barry's lake blue eyes looked at Emma's brown eyes, under the moonlight, Barry's lake blue eyes looked so bright. "A long time ago, I had the same question as you."

"When I was ten years old, I came home from school. When I got home, I saw my mother lying in a pool of blood, and my father was arrested as a murderer. I knew that my mother was never killed by my father, but I couldn't Clear him up. My dad ended up in prison, which is why I chose to be a police officer—finding the real killer was all I had in my life back then."

"What's more, I can't forgive myself. I always think that if I run faster, I can get there, I can save my mother, and my father doesn't have to die wrongly. But when I really When I got the Speed ​​Force, I figured it out the first time I used super speed to save an old man who was almost killed.

God gave me the ability to run forward, and he told me not to look back - don't regret the past, the key is what you can do now. "

"Emma, ​​you did a good job. You obviously can ignore the system and not participate in those adventurous missions yourself, but you chose to do it. You chose to save the superhero and save the world. You let Spider-Man fight again, You worked so hard to complete the task, and exchanged for Hawkeye and me. Without you, Seaside City cannot be taken back. Although it is very unfair that the system chose you, I am glad that he chose you."

Barry smiled at Emma, ​​his smile was so warm, Emma felt a little bit of warmth in her heart, and something hot flowed from her heart to her limbs.

"Barry," Emma looked up at him, "thank you."

The moonlight shone on the girl. The girl had just cried, and her eyes were still slightly red.Barry looked into the girl's eyes, it was these tender and compassionate eyes that he couldn't look away from the first time he saw them.They were so close at this moment, breathing intertwined with each other, only the heartbeats of the two sides that were about to overflow could be heard in the night.

Come on, Barry.Barry Allen's mind was a mess, but he always felt that he had to do something now.He couldn't help getting closer to Emma, ​​and then closer——

"Snapped".Suddenly the lights came on.

Barry and Emma Qiqi turned their heads and saw Damian standing in the living room. He was wearing bear pajamas and holding his beloved bat cat in his arms.The black cat was purring happily in his arms.

The embarrassment of being hit by someone made Emma stand up suddenly.

"I... I'm going back to my room to sleep." She rushed towards the bedroom without looking back, and almost bumped into the display rack containing porcelain.

"What about you?" Damian raised an eyebrow. "Don't go to bed, what are you doing in the living room, Alan?"

This vicious bat cub!Barry thought viciously.I'll have to suggest to Batman in the future, give this kid some kind of activity, or set up a teenage group, and let him perform some messy tasks-preferably ones that you can fall asleep when you get home!

Barry didn't expect that his idea would actually become the embryonic form of the future League of Boys Heroes.

Barry got up and was going back to the room when he passed by Damian when he heard the boy say:

"I'll see you tomorrow morning."

Emma returned to the room, her face was so warm that she could cook an egg, or a pile of eggs—she had never held hands with a boy except for her younger brother in her 20 years of life!Even his boyfriend at the graduation prom hadn't been invited because he had a cold, and tonight—

When Emma thought of Barry's transparent lake blue eyes, the temperature on her face rose a lot.She lay down and sat up, sat up and lay down again, and did not go to sleep until dawn.

When Emma woke up, she found that it was already noon.It took Emma a long time to realize that she was in the Batcave. She quickly dressed and came to the living room of the Batcave.Alfred is there pruning the foliage of the Batcave plants.

"Miss Caris, are you awake?" Seeing Emma wake up, Alfred put down the pruning tool, "Do you need something to eat? There are fried fish and pasta."

Emma nodded, and Alfred walked to the open kitchen next to her. Emma looked around the living room and found no figure of Damian or Barry, which made her relieved. Emma didn't know how to face it now. It's Barry.

"What about them? Where did Barry and Damian go?"

"Master Damian and Mr. Allen went out early in the morning." Alfred said.He was chopping onions, and Emma also stepped forward to wash her hands and help.

"You don't need to help." Alfred hurriedly said, "You are a guest."

"There is no host or guest." Emma replied, she put half a bowl of pasta in boiling water and waited for it to be cooked. "What did they do?"

"Master Damian asked Mr. Barry to help see if he can shatter Gotham's barrier through his ability." Alfred said.But Damian's attitude is far from asking for help-he just told Barry about the situation, and then had a "you have to see with me" expression.Barry also went with a good temper.

"The barrier has enveloped Gotham for three months," Alfred said. "Now Gotham can only enter but cannot exit, and even cannot communicate with the outside world..."

He was halfway through the conversation when he heard the "bang" sound of Emma's cooking tongs falling to the ground.

"It's over..." The girl opened her eyes wide and murmured, "I forgot to tell Clint and the others about my coming to Gotham."
