[Comprehensive British and American] Backbones League

For a moment, Salas felt that Bruce would not reach out to him.

After all, his son has gone crazy.

But in the end, Bruce bent down, as he had done countless times to pick up Salas from the ground where he fell.

So gentle that both of them will have a feeling that they are still as filial as fathers and sons.

It's just that they all know they can't go back.

"Long time no see, Bruce." Salas said to Bruce.

It's been a long time, what happened during this time, even Bruce couldn't help but want to ask, you are my son, why did you become like this.

But his personality prevented him from asking such a question, because he knew very well that Salas would answer him, no why.

He's not like this because he's Batman's son, he's like this because he's Batman's son.

The once gentle Salas Wayne disappeared, and after taking off the fragile skin, anyone can see that the Salas under the skin is very much like Bruce Wayne.

It is precisely because of this that Bruce feels more and more painful-because he feels that he has and may have embarked on this path.

The father and son looked at each other without saying a word, and for a while they couldn't say anything except "Long time no see".

In the end, Bruce pondered for a long time, and said the first sentence: "I tried to wake up your body, but it has been unsuccessful."

Salas nodded kindly: "Yes, as long as I don't want to, this body will never wake up."

Bruce clenched his fists subconsciously. For a moment, Salas thought that he would use force to decide who was in charge, just like every time the Wayne family taught fist and foot.

At that moment, he had no fear, but seriously thought about whether his body could withstand Bruce's punch.

However, Bruce finally held back.

He didn't forget the kid in front of him, not just the Gotham villain he knew, but also... his dear son.

Salas is different from other children, he does not have a pair of healthy legs.

"Is it because of those legs?" Bruce asked.

Saraston paused for a moment, then smiled: "Do you think I'm one of those ordinary villains?"

"I never cared about my legs," he grinned at Bruce, "never because of my legs...Maybe it's because of my nature? Yeah, maybe it's because of my nature. No no no, I'm not saying, because you've passed on some not so good traits to me... If, I mean, if, Bruce, if I'm not your son..."

Bruce frowned: "You are indeed my son."

"Biologically speaking, you are indeed my father." Salas said with a smile, "I heard some interesting news from Lei Xiaoaogu, he said that I am not your son, from the soul level I'm not, he says I'm the pool of Lazarus."

Bruce's brow twitched violently.

Salas looked at him with a smile, as if waiting for his reaction.

But after a while, Bruce didn't say anything as he wished, but instead said, "Are you at Lei Xiaoaogu's place?"

"Didn't you already know about this?" Salas felt that he was changing the subject.

Who knew that Bruce would say in the next sentence, "You're trapped there."

This time it was Salas who frowned.

"You're asking me for help," Bruce continued.

Salas smiled a little more reluctantly: "How did you see this?"

He originally planned to lure Bruce to the League of Assassins, but in the blink of an eye, Bruce had guessed his main purpose.

Should it be called Batman?

Salas quickly regained his composure.

Being seen by Bruce is not a difficult thing to accept. His father, his Batman, is the best detective in the world. There is no doubt that he should have found any abnormality in Salas, otherwise how could he Could it be Batman?

Salas loved him, hated him, admired him, despised him.

He has complicated feelings for Bruce, but he has to admit that Batman is Batman, and there is only one Batman in the world.

Bruce looked at Salas: "I know you, Salas."

Or rather, he knows himself.

"Okay." Salas didn't bother to hide it, "Since you already know, let me tell you, I really need a little help. Lei Xiaoaogu has trapped me."

"According to your ability, you can give up your body at any time and prepare to escape. Is there someone by your side?"

Salas nodded, not surprised even if Batman speculated to this extent.

"Even if someone is by your side, you can use multiple bodies to forcibly break through. If it is not a last resort, you will definitely not come to me. There is no doubt, I know that you have used your body to control Superman at the same time, and broke into the raft Prison, and using your original body to mislead us in New York... Three bodies is not your limit, Salas? You can't use multiple bodies to leave the League of Assassins... Lei Xiaoaogu got something that limits you?"

Salas' expression cracked.

It's not difficult to speculate, but with the previous ones, he has been touched clearly in such a short period of time, which still makes him feel a little speechless.

"It's not just that I can't stand up in front of you now, Batman." Salas quickly regained his composure, "You've stripped me clean now."

He changed tactics and began to show weakness.

With a strong smile on his face, and with his legs, he looked extremely fragile.

Bruce was very familiar with his appearance. Even though he knew that he was probably faking it, he couldn't help but have a thought in his heart—this is my son, my son with the legs.

Salas is in a special situation. He returned to him at the age of five, which means he brought him up with his own hands.

Even if Bruce is good enough to hide his emotions, he has to admit that he has poured enough emotions into Salas.

That's why he can't believe it...or accept that Saras is going to be as crazy a supervillain as the Joker.

He looked so normal, so gentle, without a trace of madness in his words or deeds.

His child is talking to him here, and like all normal children, for a moment, people will doubt their previous understanding-is this child really crazy?

Was Bruce wrong?Is he really wrong?

Is it true that he did something wrong with these children, so Jason, Salas, and they have come to the present step by step?

Many times, Bruce would think like this.

Salas is in pain, and he is also in pain. The most tacit understanding is that they both know each other's pain.

"Saras." Bruce said calmly. He suppressed all his emotions and returned to the rational Batman. "You don't need to pretend in front of me. I already know what you are."

Once the hypocritical mask of Salas is pierced, all the remaining falsehoods become so easy to understand.

Bruce already knew what he was like, and he wouldn't be fooled again.

His child, his magician, was a madman in disguise, and that would never change.

Gotham, there can be no second Joker, and the second Joker shouldn't be Batman's son.

Salas sighed, without any surprise.

He had long thought that Batman would be so rational and perfect no matter what time it was.

"The exchange." Salas said relaxedly. "The exchange of interests is the strongest relationship. It has always been and will always be."

Lei Xiaoaogu walked to the edge of Lazarus Pool, looking at the pool of green water.

The pool of Lazarus is eerily quiet.

"What are you looking at?" said someone behind him.

Lei Xiaoaogu was not surprised, as if he knew people would come: "Of course I'm looking at you, my dear child."

"No, I was thinking about how to sink me to the bottom." Salas said.

"You know?" Lei Xiaoaogu said, "No wonder you avoid your boy and come here."

Salas didn't answer his words, but went to the edge of the pool and knelt down.

Stretching out his hand, he put his hand into the water of Lazarus Pool, and the green pool water slightly rippled with his movements.

It is strange that Salas seems to have been influenced by this pool all his life, his illness and his fate seem to be surrounded by it, but this pool is too obedient under his hands.

"How about that boy?" Lei Xiaoaogu said, "His brain..."

He pointed to his own brain, giving Salas a bad hint.

Salas said calmly: "I put him to sleep, he will get used to it in the future."

"Yes, those people called us lunatics, but they didn't know that what we saw was real." Lei Xiaoaogu said, "That child was very lucky to be favored by the Lazarus pool."

He looked at Salas with a smile, as if implying something.

"What exactly do you want? Lei Xiaoaogu." Salas said with a smile, "When I crawled out of the Lazarus pool, you were actually a little disappointed."

"Yes." Lei Xiaoaogu said frankly, "I feel uneasy if you didn't come up, but I'm also unwilling if you come up."

"You actually want me to stay in the Lazarus Pool forever, just like that child." Salas stood up, narrowed his eyes, and looked directly at Lei Xiaoaogu, "What is the Lazarus Pool, Lei Xiaoaogu, why do you call me the pool of Lazarus?"

Lei Xiao Aogu looked at him, and after a long time, he said with a smile: "Do you know Dionysus factor?"

Salas raised his eyelids, he had heard the name before, it was in Jason's mouth.

The clown got the Dionysus factor and resurrected Jason. It is said that the Dionysus factor is in the pool of Lazarus.

"No, no, no." Lei Xiao Aogu suppressed his excitement and said, "No, the Dionysian factor here is polluted, and the real Dionysian factor is hidden in a place that no one knows."

He paused, looked up at Salas: "Do you understand?"

"I don't understand." Salas interrupted him unceremoniously.

"Sarras Wayne was born without a heartbeat. According to normal circumstances, it is impossible to live." Lei Xiaoaogu said, he called "Saras Wayne", as if the person standing in front of him was not "Sarras Wayne". Lars Wayne" but another unknown ghost who just took possession of this innocent body.

The Lord of the League of Assassins turned his head to look at him: "However, Sarath Wayne is indeed alive. All he lacks is a soul. When he enters the pool of Lazarus, he will be complete."

"Since I'm so special..." Salas was silent for a while, "Then why did you give up on me?"

He stared at Lei Xiao Aogu, he didn't believe what this person said, because he didn't believe that if he was really that special, Lei Xiao Aogu would easily let him go.

At least he would dissect him, if it was him, he would do it, Salas thought cruelly in his heart, regardless of the one he thought was himself.

Lei Xiaoaogu's smile froze and slowly disappeared on his face, and he said after a while: "I made a wrong deal on this matter."

"trade?"

Lei Xiaoaogu shook his head and said with a smile: "Stop talking about this, Salas, I am very happy that you can recognize the facts and come back to me."

He turned around and grabbed Salas's shoulder: "You have misunderstood me all this time. I hope you return to the pool of Lazarus. I don't want to sacrifice you. You know, you can only enter Lazarus. The pool is complete, so this matter also has extraordinary significance for you."

"What's the point?"

"The soul, the consciousness, and the soul, the three are united to form a real you." He grabbed Salas's shoulder even more forcefully, so hard that it deformed Salas' shoulder, but Even so, Salas's expression didn't change at all, as if he wasn't pinching his own body, "Now that the soul and consciousness have returned, what you lack is the real sex."

Salas looked at him expressionlessly, Lei Xiaoaogu sincerely seemed to be thinking of Salas wholeheartedly.

Then he chuckled.

"It sounds like this matter is very beneficial to me." Salas narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile on his face, "So, I'm curious, what can you get after doing so much?"

He was smiling, like a poisonous snake biting its prey.

What Lei Xiaoaogu said may be right, but there is one most critical question he didn't say - he has helped Salas so much, what can he get for himself?

Don't say it's because of grandfather's love, don't say that Salas doesn't believe it, I'm afraid Lei Xiaoaogu himself doesn't believe it.

"Do you think I'm a child? The most reliable relationship in this world is the exchange of benefits." Salas said with a smile, "So, tell me, what can you get? In this exchange that sounds like it has nothing to do with you ?”

He raised his head slightly, taking control of everything.

Maybe Lei Xiaoaogu thought he would be moved by those words, after all, he was just a child, a villain who had just fled for more than a year.

If that was the case, he really underestimated Salas.

He never believed in Lei Xiao Aogu from the beginning to the end, and he will never believe in Lei Xiao Aogu.

After all, he couldn't even believe in Bruce or Peter.

It's so funny, he's not exactly like Batman in this regard.

Even, he is more serious than Batman.

So he didn't believe what Lei Xiao Aogu said at all.

He even believed that Lei Xiaoaogu had worked so hard to create such a big game, and he must get more from it than Salas thought.

"Okay, I've got what I deserve." Salas said, "No matter how much more, you won't tell me right?"

Lei Xiaoaogu narrowed his eyes.

Salas raised his eyelids and said casually, "Then I will thank Batman."

The moment he finished speaking, a huge explosion sounded in the League of Assassins.

"You!" Lei Xiaoaogu immediately realized something, his face kept changing, and finally turned into a sneer, "You let Batman come? This is probably your worst choice. He will not accept you, nor will he Accept your boy, and in the end you will only meet in Arkham."

"Who said that?" Salas said lightly, "I'm the only one who will enter Arkham, okay? My boy is great."

Lei Xiao Aogu finally understood: "You..."

"You always say that I am the pool of Lazarus." Salas smiled suddenly, "Then I should have the privilege of the pool of Lazarus."

He teased Lei Xiao Aogu with this sentence, as if nothing had happened.

At this time, he saw Dick and Superman break into the Lazarus pool.

Salas obediently raised his hands, put them behind his head, turned his back, and made a gesture of surrender.

By the way, he tilted his head and reminded Lei Xiaoaogu very "kindly": "You can also choose to surrender."

It's a pity that Lei Xiao Aogu was not mad at his words.

Dick looked at Salas with complicated eyes. He still didn't quite accept that the villain with a hippie smile was his brother. On the contrary, Superman accepted it well because he was not so familiar with Salas.

Afterwards, the two of them rushed towards Lei Xiao Aogu.

Looking at the current situation, the assassins of the League of Assassins should be entangled by other superheroes. Seeing that the momentum is not good, Lei Xiaoaogu didn't want to be entangled, so he immediately decided to run away.

These villains always have their own backhands, so after Lei Xiaoaogu threw out an unknown gun, even Superman was confused (probably because there were special lead items in the gun).

Salas turned his back and didn't turn back when he heard the movement. Even if he couldn't see him, he knew that Lei Xiaoaogu had already run away.

He was calm as if it wasn't Lei Xiaoaogu who ran away, but any ordinary person, and then turned around after Dick sighed in frustration——

"It's a pity." He said, holding his hands behind his head, looking at the other two with gentle eyes and smiling.

His hands were still behind his head, his expression was gentle and well-behaved, not at all like a super villain.

The body of the white-haired boy he is using now has sharp edges and corners, which is completely different from Salas's original appearance, but the look in his eyes is Saras Wayne no matter how you look at it.

For a moment, Dick rolled his eyes.

Even if he has been unwilling to admit it, he can't deceive himself - the young man in front of him who looks like he is being slaughtered is his dear brother.

"Dick?" Salas tilted his head, he didn't have the tit-for-tat confrontation with Bruce, and he didn't have the arrogance and arrogance when he was the villain. He looked almost, or exactly the same as the child in Dick's memory.

It's hard to believe he's crazy.

Is he really crazy?

"Saras..." He reached out and pulled the boy's hand behind his head.

Dick didn't want to see the boy like this at all, it was disgusting, like he was their prisoner...or, constantly reminding them that Salas was a villain to be caught.

Salas is his little brother, not...not...

Dick's hand froze in front of Salas,

Superman saw that something was wrong with Dick, and looked up at Dick worriedly.

He didn't know much about Salas, at most he had a little contact with him when he was controlled, but he knew that Salas was Bruce's son, and he also knew how special this boy was to the entire Bat family.

They love this little son, no matter from that aspect, he is a special case of the Bat family.

Clark won't be angry with Salas just because he controlled him once, so naturally he won't deliberately say something to make Batman uncomfortable at this time. On the contrary, he said to Salas kindly: "You have nothing to do." matter?"

He didn't know what to say or what to say to Salas, so he could only pretend that the elder was embarrassed and concerned when he first saw the younger generation.

Salas raised his head, looking at this superman who was once controlled by him, Wei Wei felt a little funny.

Of course, this kind of fun only means that at this moment, he thinks Clark's words are a little cute.

So he raised his head obediently, and said obediently to Clark, "I have nothing to do."

The atmosphere is always a little awkward. Some of the two sides are speechless, some just can't find anything to talk about, and some want to say but don't know what to say.

Fortunately, the battle on Bruce's side is basically over at this time. He should have issued an order to Dick in the communicator. Dick nodded and looked at Salas in a complicated way: "Go, Bruce's place should be over soon." gone."

Salas nodded, there is no doubt that this speed is within his expected range.

He followed Dick, and Dick would look back at him from time to time, both as if he was sure whether he would run away, or as if he was worried about whether he had something to do.

There are two mentalities, but Salas does not find it annoying, on the contrary he thinks it is very normal.

Whether it is precaution or concern, it is a normal attitude.

Salas accepts everything that is done to him, along with its love, hate and disappointment.

They saw Bruce not long after. Except for some who had already escaped, most of the members of the Assassin League had been hung upside down in the air, which was the kind of upside down that was very in line with Batman's habits.

Salas almost laughed out loud.

The first time he arrived, Bruce noticed, and then he saw the smile on Salas's face, and subconsciously frowned, but didn't say anything.

Peter was beside Bruce, and he saw Salas running towards Salas immediately.

"Are you okay?" He knew that Salas would go to see Lei Xiaoaogu alone today, but Salas asked him to wait for Batman, so he didn't follow in the end.

But that doesn't mean that Peter is not worried. In fact, he has been worried for as long as Salas has been away.

Salas was about to tease Peter when he heard the sound of the wall being smashed.

"The perimeter has been cleaned up, bat." The person who came was flying in mid-air, the red-gold armor was eye-catching at any time, "How do our children play?"

It's Iron Man.

Tony followed Bruce to look over, saw Peter, heaved a sigh of relief, pretended to be angry and said, "It's the second time, kid, it's the second time you've done such a dangerous operation for me."

This is because he didn't know that Peter almost died once. If he knew, he probably wouldn't speak so easily.

Of course, Peter would never tell him the actual situation.

Before Peter answered, Tony's eyes turned slightly, and then he saw Salas beside Peter.

He froze for a moment, and soon realized what was happening, and frowned.

"Magician?" His tone cooled down. "Sarras Wayne?"

He doesn't have any extra feelings for the real identity of Saras Wayne. If he is just Bruce Wayne's son, he may still be able to give Saras a good face because of his friendship for many years.

But unfortunately, he's a magician, a supervillain...and a supervillain who once threatened to kill Peter.

Just being a super villain won't touch Tony too much, but adding Peter as a premise makes it different.

Tony doesn't like Salas.

Probably the only one who put his disgust so clearly on the face.

But this is very good, but there is no need to pretend to be each other.

Peter realized something from the atmosphere between Tony and Salas, and he immediately remembered that the last time he talked about Salas with Tony, Tony insisted on keeping him away from Salas.

He said that Salas is a madman with extreme love and hatred, and everything the madman does is to satisfy himself first.

At that time Peter didn't know how to answer, he just felt extremely sad, now he looked at Tony's defensive eyes, and suddenly felt that he could tell Tony that Salas was not like that, maybe he was extreme and crazy, maybe he was Most of the time, he will give priority to satisfying himself, but when it comes to key things, he thinks about others.

He wasn't the selfish lunatic Tony thought he was, he was a lunatic with reason and self-control.

But before he could speak, Salas gave him a tug.

Salas saw Peter's impulsive intention to explain something, but he didn't want to.

Because he felt that whatever Tony knew about him, it must be true.

Instead, it was his boy who was blinded by him.

Tony wouldn't believe Peter's explanation, and Salas didn't need anyone to say anything.

In fact, he is really bad enough, for example, he is very happy to see Tony's suddenly ugly expression when he is intimate with Peter.

He is indeed a villain.

Tony, who was at a high place, could easily see the small movements between them, and the face under the mask immediately became ugly.

He immediately raised his hand, impulsively wanting to bombard Salas.

But then Bruce looked up at Tony.

Most of the time, Tony habitually confronted Batman.

But for a small part of the time, he really believed in Batman.

For example, at this moment, he knew very well that Bruce would never stand out in order to protect his son.

There must be more important things.

"Okay." Bruce interrupted the confrontation between them, looked up at Salas, "I've already helped you with what you want, it's time to tell us what we traded."

He was so business-like that he hardly treated his son as if he was talking about a business.

"Well, you really are so indifferent." Salas said jokingly.

But Bruce didn't take his jokes, and Batman still said calmly: "What are you and Jason planning, Salas, we have agreed, I will take you out, and you give me information."

"Of course, of course it's just a piece of information." Salas said with a smile, "Maybe I should tell you that it's time for you to visit Arkham."

"Saras, what did you do?" Peter frowned, "What happened in Arkham?"

After hearing Salas say Arkham, Bruce suddenly changed his face, and he left the place immediately, even Salas couldn't care about it.

Seeing the situation, Peter immediately pulled Salas to the side.

"Actually, Peter, I didn't do anything." Salas said to Peter with a smile.

He looked at his boy sincerely, without showing any flaws.

It's not because of how good he is, but because he's telling the truth.

He didn't cheat Peter, he really didn't do anything.

He just... just let Jason and the others freely do what they wanted to do... Well, at most, he robbed Loki's prison once.

"Peter, I promised you that I would not kill people." Salas said, "But that doesn't mean I will stop others from killing people."

He is not a good person, he may not kill himself, but he will not take the initiative to prevent others from killing.

On the contrary, he was happy to watch other people do things.

Peter didn't speak.

"Are you angry, Peter?" Salas, who had never panicked in front of Bruce, suddenly panicked seeing Peter's sudden silence.

Of course, he felt that there was nothing wrong with him, he was a villain, and he didn't need to abide by decent moral logic.

He said that he will not be bad forever, but that does not mean that he will become better and do those good things.

In fact, he is still the villain in his bones.

Peter promised him, he did not break the bottom line.

Salas looked at Peter and was suddenly a little angry. He admitted that he knew some things early on, and he had been watching happily.

He also wanted to intervene in the middle, for example, to save Loki, but he was interrupted by Peter—his good Peter was indeed his spider thread, such a coincidence, when he was about to go there several times , actually pulled him.

In the end, only Jason and the others were allowed to go.

However, this is not considered a breakthrough for him, after all, he did not do anything himself.

Peter couldn't feel that he had broken his promise because of this, no.

Peter was silent at first, but suddenly he smiled: "It's okay, Salas, it's not your responsibility to do good things, it's mine. You just need to be responsible and not do too bad things."

Peter admitted that he was a little angry for a moment just now.

But he also had to admit that Salas was not his kind.

In Salas' understanding, he very cunningly defined the bottom line as "people he killed with his own hands", and those who were innocently involved in his affairs were not within his consideration.

Even if a person died in front of him, he would not stretch out his hand—unless he was on a whim.

So in his understanding, if he did not do it, it is not considered a crime, even if he guided and saw it.

What an extremely cunning state of mind.

but……

Peter took a deep breath.

He accepts that Salas is evil, but also accepts that their understanding of good and evil is not so similar.

As long as Salas doesn't do too badly, it's fine.

And he is responsible for bringing everything back to his own understanding of good and evil.

"What are you going to do?" Salas changed his expression slightly. He watched Peter turn around and move towards walking, and subconsciously grabbed him.

"I'm going to Arkham," said Peter.

"Arkham is Batman's problem," Salas said immediately.

He knew very well that his surprise was for Batman, and only for Batman.

"No, Salas." Peter shook his head, "I'm a superhero, Salas, and any trouble is not one person's, but all superheroes'."

After he finished speaking, he blinked at Salas suddenly: "I accept that you are evil, and I also accept that you will never become good. But Salas, you have to accept me too."

"You have to accept that your spider silk comes from a superhero, he will not become a bad person, and he will not give up helping others." Peter raised a smile, "I will save everyone, including you."

"Of course, I won't ask you to do anything. You just need to watch me by my side, and then don't do too bad yourself."
