Bruce looked at him with complicated eyes, "I thought you would never come back here again."

"I've always thought so." Brian looked at the decorations in the room and couldn't help recalling what it looked like 20 years ago, and said, "This place is still the same as it was 20 years ago."

"Alfred has been tidying up." Bruce put down his gun.

Brian: "Is Selena okay?"

Catwoman Selena was the first person to show kindness to him at that time. If Brian wants to find someone who can be missed after so many years, then that person must be Selena.

"...Yes, she's fine." Bruce paused, and said, "But I don't think you're here to catch up with me."

"Yes, if possible, I would rather never come back here to reminisce with you..."

"Then why are you coming back?!" Bruce stared into his eyes, his voice was low and jerky, "It was you who insisted on saying that you would leave here forever! And now you have a new name, and maybe a decent identity, A perfect life, what are you doing here?"

Brian paused, "...because I need the help of the Justice League."

Bruce's pupils shrank, "...what do you know?"

"Batman." Brian said, "I know who you are, and I hope to get your help."

Bruce looked at him with vigilant eyes again, and said in a deep voice, "How do you know?"

"Your identity is no longer a secret to some people. In other words, when you founded the Justice League, I think you should have already made this kind of preparation." Brian said.

Bruce: "...what do you want me to do for you?"

"I think you heard what Professor X shouted out to the whole world an hour ago." Bryan paused and said, "He is now being controlled by an evil force, and they are trying to find my goddaughter Vera Claire, I want you to help me with this."

Bruce: "... so it was her, so, you have been at Claire's house all these years?"

"Yes, they are my most important family members, and I will never allow anyone to hurt them." Brian said solemnly.

For Brian, in the first few years of his birth, he lived in a dark nutrient solution tank and was subjected to experiments over and over again. At that time, he was ignorant, ignorant, and even had no pain, just like a soulless Dolls are played with.

Until an accident, he was accidentally released together with other monsters in the laboratory, felt the sunshine, tasted food, and met normal people, so he never wanted to go back to his past life.

But he also discovered later that his existence was a hidden danger to Bruce Wayne, or even an obstacle. He hindered many people, so he chose to leave, and decided to stay away from this dark city forever, and be with the people here forever do not meet.

Later he met Claire's family, and from then on, he really felt the warmth, especially the two children he watched and grew up, who were as important as his own children, and Brian did not allow anyone to break the love he loved. Life, spying on his cherished family, so he broke his vows, came back here, for his family, for himself, to seek help.

When Brian mentioned the Claire family, his black eyes seemed to be filled with light. It was the tenderness that Bruce had never seen in him, the tenderness that could not belong to Gotham.

"...Okay." After a long time, Bruce lowered his eyes and said, "I will help you."

……

At this time, S.H.I.E.L.D.—

The Avengers who rushed to S.H.I.E.L.D. are holding an emergency meeting.

"Vera Claire disappeared four days ago. She bought a ticket from London to New York that day, but she didn't board the plane afterwards." Nick Fury said, "Professor X is now very likely to be included by Magneto and It is controlled by a group of unknown people, and their purpose of finding Vera Claire is temporarily unknown, but we now speculate that Vera Claire may be a mutant."

Stark frowned, "This is really not pleasant news. To be honest, I haven't noticed any traces of her being a mutant for so many years."

"It can only be said that she concealed it deeply if she didn't notice it." Nick Fury said.

"I'm not surprised at all." Natasha raised her eyebrows.

Tony turned his gaze to her and asked, "Why?"

"Intuition." Natasha smiled. "Or is it a woman's sixth sense? Anyway, I'm not surprised."

"These are not important, what is important is what this represents." Nick Fury said in a deep voice: "Professor X has always been a moderate among mutants, he will not implement worldwide telepathy for no reason, especially He is very likely to be under the control of unknown forces now. There must be something special about this Vera Claire."

"I remember we signed an agreement with the mutants?" Bruce Banner asked suddenly, "So now we are in charge of this matter, will it violate the agreement?"

"The agreement is based on the stability of both parties." Unexpectedly, it was the captain who said this.

He leaned against a nearby table and said, "But we should really contact the X-Men first."

Nick Fury glanced at him unexpectedly, nodded and said: "That's right, if you can't even achieve the basic surface calm, then this agreement is a piece of waste paper."

"Hill is already contacting the X-Men. If there is no accident, we will soon usher in a battle against mutants."

"To be honest, I don't like fighting mutants at all." Hawkeye Barton couldn't help complaining, "Their abilities are so diverse, it's just too foul."

"I agree. When I found that the result of my [-] years of hard training was no match for someone else's mutation, I resolutely switched to a civilian job." Hill heard this sentence as soon as he entered the conference room ,sidewalk.

Natasha raised her eyebrows, "I remember you had a mission last week?"

Hill shrugged, "You still have to listen to what the boss says."

Nick Ray: "How's the connection with the X-Men?"

Hill immediately closed his expression, projected the photo on the tablet in his hand, and said seriously: "Three hours ago, there was a big explosion at Xavier School, which caused the entire school to be blown up. Now it is in ruins. According to the time calculation, then It happens to coincide with the time when Professor X was kidnapped."

The photo showed ruins, and there were countless mutants lying on the grass.

Steve frowned, "These mutant children were all killed?"

"No, the news from our people just now should be that after the explosion escaped, he was attacked by an unknown person and fell into a coma."

Hill's eyes were heavy. She didn't say that the attack after the explosion might belong to the government forces. Although she is facing her colleagues now, this does not prevent the Avengers from conflicting with their ideas in some respects, especially in this For one thing, she didn't think Nick would want Cap to go off to the army to save the mutants.

Tony: "Did their mutants attack their own kind?"

Natasha's eyes flashed.

For an agent like her who has really been in contact with the dark side of the country, this incident is not surprising at all. More precisely, she should have a vague idea that the government is secretly using mutants for experiments, but after all This has nothing to do with her, so she never takes the initiative to explore it.So vaguely, she guessed that this might not be just an infighting between mutants.

"So what should we do now?" Hawkeye spread his hands, "Can we find other X-Men?"

"If you can't find it, you have to find it." The captain was firm, "We can't choose Magneto's brotherhood."

Nick Fury pondered for a moment and said, "We can act directly."

"Now the X-Men can't protect themselves. Without Professor X, they are in a mess."

"Mutants have a natural cohesion, even without Professor X, they may not necessarily give up." Steve's eyes sparkled, "Will the Avengers be disbanded without me? I believe my partners will only work harder execution of tasks."

"Hey, what made you say such things as a leader?" Tony said dissatisfiedly beside him: "Of course the Avengers would not be disbanded without you. Do you think you are important?"

Steve looked at him helplessly, and continued: "I remember that the most powerful mutant under Professor X is 'The Beast', I think we should contact him first."

"'The Beast' is missing." Hill said: "We can't contact him for the time being."

"So we can start from another angle." Nick Fury said immediately, he didn't want to argue with the captain about mutants.

"Hill, go to Claire's house and find Vera Claire's whereabouts."
