[Batman] Esther

Chapter 37

"What are you doing squatting here?!" Esther, who was squatting on the ground, was picked up by Bruce with one hand.

Um?Why is his whole body wet? Isn't he looking for Tate?Esther turned her head and looked at the back, where is there any Tate, and where is there any taxi!

"She..." Where did she go?

"Didn't I tell you to go to hide from the rain first?" Bruce looked a little annoyed at the drenched Esther.

ah?ah? ? "Did you say it? Why didn't I hear it?" Did he really say it?What about "... Tate?"

Bruce wiped the rain from his face and said, "I called that taxi back and told Tate to go back."

"What is she doing here?"

"About the company... well, let's go in first!"

After hearing this, Esther threw herself into Bruce's arms, hugged his neck tightly, and kissed him hard on the mouth.

"What, what's wrong?" Bruce was caught off guard by her movements.

"fine!"

What a false alarm!

"Go in if you have nothing to do! The rain won't stop for a while..." Bruce took off his suit jacket and covered their heads

Esther's unhappiness just now disappeared, and she wouldn't tell Bruce that he didn't want her anymore!But it was really scary just now, if Bruce doesn't like her after she made it clear what she wants, I really don't know what to do!

Braving the rain, I walked through the garden and came to the side door. Just as I was about to ask him if he had the key, he kicked the door open.

"Kang Dang——" Esther looked back at the door frame where he was complaining.

She splashed her wet body, a towel covered her head, followed by a warm blanket.As soon as Bruce came in, he took these things and put them on Esther regardless of himself.He wiped her wet hair seriously, then hugged her from behind.

Why haven't you seen Afu after coming in for so long? "What about Afu? After your property was confiscated, Afu was also confiscated?" It was the first time she knew that people could confiscate it too!

Bruce smiled bitterly: "He's gone..."

"why?"

"... There were some skirmishes."

Esther looked at him dissatisfied: "Afu is getting old, even though he is the housekeeper, he is still an old man, he has done so many things for the Wayne family loyally, wait for him to come back and apologize to him."

Bruce nodded, tightening his arms around her again.

"Wow!" The lights in the house suddenly went out, "What's the matter? Did you not pay the electricity bill or the line was cut by lightning?"

Bruce looked out the window, but it was raining and there was no thunder at all, "Well... I think it should be the former..."

Then. . .Lonely men and widows. . .suffer hunger and cold(?). . .The people who are in love with each other completed the next thing logically.

"Bruce, promise me not to leave me again!"

"Well, we'll leave after we've dealt with Ben!"

Esther closed her eyes contentedly with a smile on her face.

When she woke up again, it was already cold around her. According to the basement he had taken her to, when she pressed the button, the Batman suit inside was gone. Let him deal with Bane, and hope he returns safely.Although she thought so, she felt faintly uneasy in her heart.

Several days have passed, and there has been no news of Bruce. She thought it was because he was too obsessed with Ben, so it was okay to disappear for a few days, but she would still go to his house to look for him every day to see if he came back.And Selina is gone, she should be abroad now.

until. . .

"Miss Esther, can I talk to you?" A young man in a police uniform blocked Esther's way, although it was a question, he had an irresistible tone.

"Miss Esther, this is John Blake."

"...Hello, Mr. Black, what can I do?" From Esther's point of view, he was like a young boy, exuding a feeling of newcomer, full of momentum.

"I know you, the elder sister of Luo Wen, the mastermind of the drug trafficking group 'Nine Unions' who was captured a few years ago, has also done a lot of petty theft..."

"What do you want to say!" Sure enough, he was brave enough, but he didn't let Esther have the same aversion to other policemen.

"Don't get me wrong, I know that you have an unusual relationship with Bruce Wayne, and I also know that he is that person!"

"Which one?"

John dipped the water in his teacup and drew a Batman logo on the table.Esther glanced lightly, raised the corners of her mouth, and leaned toward him.

"How do you know we have an unusual relationship?"

"I saw the surveillance video of the police station back then, you were with him, and the clown; when the police went to Rowan, which is your home, I saw you too, but I was not a policeman at the time; Since I officially became a police officer, I have been investigating Bruce Wayne and you."

"...So..." He said so much more than just wanting to express this.

John scratched his head and pursed his lips: "I intercepted Selina Kyle a few days ago, she said...Mr. Wayne is in the hands of Bane...unknown..."

Esther stood up abruptly, her lips trembling: "Is your news accurate?"

John nodded: "According to your reaction, you don't seem to know his situation either?"

She calmed down her excited heartbeat: "Well, the last time I saw Bruce was at Wayne's ancestral home, he said he wanted to solve Bane's matter."

John sighed: "I originally wanted to ask you if you knew anything, but it seems... more ominous than good."

Esther shook his head: "No, I think according to Bann's character, he should not directly kill Bruce, but... torture, and if he dies, Bann will definitely reveal his identity , add some oil and vinegar, let the citizens of Gotham feel disappointed in him, and then...he will lead Gotham..."

After listening to John, she felt that what she said made sense: "Then what are you going to do now?"

Esther thought for a while and said: "Without the threat of Bruce, Bane should implement his plan in the near future. If we don't stop it in time, the consequences will be disastrous... I'm with you!"

"What? Follow us? We are the police. According to the information we found before, you probably don't like dealing with us because of the Rowan incident!" He looked at her in disbelief.

This is true!But after so many things, Esther also figured it out. Since Bruce is risking his life to defend Gotham, he doesn't know where he is now, let alone how he is; the only thing she can do is to help him protect Gotham together. Gotham!

"Let's go! Don't be dazed!" Esther got up and walked out, John was so flustered that he paid the bill and followed.In fact, there is another point that she didn't say out loud. She seemed to see the shadow of Rowan from John Blake. . .

Esther and John came to the hospital where Gordon was.She and him nodded at each other, a little embarrassed, but fortunately, John's resolution prevented the quarrel from becoming so tense.

Foley came to report that Bane had brought three people into the sewer, and Gordon ordered him to lead all the police forces he could mobilize to catch them all.Esther saw this clearly from the side, feeling a little uncertain in his heart, Bane has been lurking in the sewer all the time, can these policemen benefit from his territory?

"...You go to track down Dag's line, no matter what the means." Gordon didn't let John follow Foley but wanted to know Batman's whereabouts, "Esther, you go too, maybe Find him as soon as possible."

"Me? But you..." Esther, who was named, was a little surprised.

"It's okay, I can protect myself, and you should want to find him more than us."

She took a deep look at Gordon and said, "...well then, Blake, let's go."

Get in the car, according to the map they investigated many of Dag's cement factories, just pouring them into the underground works, but they couldn't find a clue.

"Blake..."

"Actually, you can call me John." He smiled at her.

"...well, John." Esther didn't dislike him, "Why do you want to be a policeman?"

"A long time ago when I was a kid at St. Svensson's Orphanage, an orphanage that the Wayne Foundation used to sponsor, my mom died in a car accident when I was very young, and my dad was shot a few years later because he owed gambling Debt, few people can understand how I feel. The unforgettable anger, the adoptive parents will say they can understand, but it is only very short-lived, and then they start asking this angry child to do things he can't do: 'Go on with life'. So after a while they stopped understanding and sent this angry kid to an orphanage. I saw this too late and I had to learn to hide my anger... practice smiling in the mirror, It's going to be like putting on a mask. We were super excited until Wayne showed up, he, the billionaire orphan! But I knew who he really was the first time I saw him. I've seen his face before That expression is the same as the expression I practiced myself..."

Esther felt very bitter after hearing it. His story is like another Bruce's story, with similar experiences, similar looks, and the same sense of justice!

"...Maybe, you will become another Batman in the future!..." She said to him seriously.

"Oh? Really? That would be my honor!" Esther nodded inwardly.

"I'll go there to have a look, you wait here first."

"Okay." Esther, who stayed in the car, watched John walk up to the working worker and asked. At this time, another person approached him from behind, and seemed to be holding something in his hand.She got out of the car, approached slowly, and saw clearly what was in his hand. . .

"John! Watch out!"

As soon as the words came out, the person behind took out a knife and stabbed John, but he dodged nimbly and kicked him unconscious; another person hugged him from behind, and John shot at the concrete car wall, using his reflection to hit him. body.

Esther ran over: "Are you all right?"

"It's fine." He gasped.

"It seems that you really have two tricks!" His reaction and action just now were really good.

John adjusted his clothes: "After all, I am also a policeman." He glanced at the cement worker, who was already unconscious.They walked in again, their eyes all focused on one place.

"This is..."

"...Polyisobutylene! They're not making cement, they're..."

"Dynamite!" The two looked at each other, realizing something was wrong.Hurry up and drive to Foley's side.

"They've lost almost all of their police force. If they're trapped underneath, then..." John was sweating profusely.

"That's a trap! Tell everyone to come out! Ben mixed explosives into cement and poured it underground! . . . the whole circle around the underground passage! They plan to trap the police underground!"

John drove the car very fast, and suddenly Esther felt something was wrong.

"John! The ground seems to be moving! It's explosives! The explosives have been detonated!"

There was chaos in the street, and fireworks were constantly coming out of the ground.

"Esther! Fasten your seat belt!"

"Be careful--"

The car was overturned by a place where flames suddenly spewed out, and it rolled 360 degrees. Fortunately, the seat belt was fastened in advance, otherwise it would have to be thrown out!

"Are you all right?" John unbuckled his seat belt to check on her.

"It's okay." Est shook his head.

"No, the engine won't start!" He held the gun, and Esther followed him out.

There are explosions everywhere!Scream!And the figures of people fleeing!

"My God! Gordon! Go!"

Arriving at the hospital, Esther followed John, and when he heard the gunshots, he kicked open the door, and there were two dead bodies lying on the ground.

"You forgot to check the corner, rookie!" He turned his head, Gordon pointed the gun at the back of his head, and Esther leaned against the door and rolled his eyes at him, and gasped at the same time.impulse!It seems that he still needs more exercise.

Leaving the hospital, it's dire outside, John in the car, Gordon in the co-driver, Esther in the back seat.

"... No matter how the situation develops, there is one thing that everyone must understand. We will never abandon the citizens of Gotham..."

John frowned and asked, "What does that mean?"

Gordon sighed. "...meaning we're all alone now...I should give a public speech."

"Sir, they will kill you as soon as you show your face!"

"Bane said he was going to give Gotham back to the citizens, and I want everyone to know that I can lead them..."

Esther hugged his chest and sneered: "I just found out today that Commissioner Gordon is so naive! It's impossible for Ben to let you do this! He will definitely release the people in prison and fabricate some bad things about the police to make the police Gotham's so-called justice, light, and faith are gone; and then his so-called freedom will be established. By then, Gotham must be a hell on earth!"

"No way..."

The next day, at home, I saw Ben's plan to release all the criminals in Black Gate Prison through the TV broadcast.They formed an army, forcibly broke into the homes of high-ranking officials, plundered and plundered, the citizens were miserable, people were constantly injured, and there were ruins everywhere.This is another chaos after the clown, more serious chaos than ever!

Gordon and John looked at her in disbelief: "How do you know?" They didn't pay much attention to what she said yesterday, but it turned out to be right!

Esther shrugged: "If I were Bane, I would do the same!"

The author has something to say: Today is Chinese Valentine’s Day, and the gorgeous offer of 4000+ is almost the same as double change (^o^)/~

The front of this chapter is a bit confusing. I have repaired it several times, but I am still not satisfied. Please also include more

In addition, this chapter is still the mature stage of Esther.
