Bruce anticipated the question.

He was even waiting for this question, because he needed an opportunity, because from the beginning to the end, he did not intend to exclude the heart of nature from the scope of superpower coordination.Facing the potential crisis of the entire earth, Batman is determined to take action and has formulated several action plans.

Coincidentally, someone had the same idea as him.

Time goes back to the day when the wilderness team walked to Nanche Bazaar.

For most ordinary people, they get up early in the morning, finish their breakfast, read the newspaper, catch the subway to go to work, and deal with trivial matters, no different from usual.But for some people with superpowers and those who follow the dynamics of people with superpowers, this is a day that can be recorded in history.

At ten o'clock in the morning, several superheroes including Superman, Flash, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman received the same telepathic message, and immediately set off to gather together.

Some of them have worked together, some are often on TV, and some are familiar faces to others.But Batman in the shadows knows them all—ask the folder in the Batcave Batbox if you don't believe me—except for the mysterious caller.

This is normal.

When the convener reported himself, no one in the room could recognize him.

This, although I don't know the race, let's call him Mr., has green skin and red eyes, wears a blue-purple cloak, and two crossed red straps on the chest are connected with the belt.When he spoke, he introduced himself first as "Constable John Jones" and then as "Ron Junds", "The Last Orphan of Mars".

Subtly but understandably, most people picked up on what he meant—he was serious about his identity on Earth, and at the same time he was making himself friend rather than foe.

The phrase "orphan" made Superman's expression change a bit, but the Son of Krypton is no longer the immature look he had when he first "debuted".He took a step forward, folded his arms across his chest, and asked restrainedly, "What's your reason for coming?"

"Earth is facing a crisis," Ron Junds replied. "The X-Men know it, S.H.I.E.L.D. knows it, and some of you know it. It could have catastrophic consequences. Add to this the fact that organized crime is becoming more active in major cities, and maybe it's time for us to work together."

The Martian looked away, and Batman, who was watching, immediately realized that the plan had been leaked.He started to create a telepathic defense mechanism a long time ago, but the opponent's ability system seems to be different from that of Professor X.After thinking for a moment, he stated: "SHIELD will continue to recruit people with superpowers in the next few months, and I am not optimistic about this."

"Aha, it's you!—" Green Lantern yelled.Before he finished speaking, the Flash standing next to him gave him an elbow.This is a new hero active in Central City, young but highly efficient.At this moment, he only focused on the important question: "It's an honor to meet you, Batman—I mean, sir, can I ask why it's not optimistic? Do you think we shouldn't accept the leadership of S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Coincidentally, that's what most heroes think, whether they say it or not.It is no secret that S.H.I.E.L.D. is among a certain group of people, and the consistent actions of this organization are naturally exposed to the eyes of superpowers.Most of the time, S.H.I.E.L.D. represents the interests of those in power. From the paper clip project during World War II to the recent superhero control plan, it has intensified the conflict between it and superpowers.

But that's not the only reason for Batman's concern.

"Lex Luthor takes the lead, Hydra and other forces are behind it, and there are even some registered agents. The SHIELD booth is too big, and there are too many forces lurking inside. The Avengers They still can’t act completely independently, if they continue to let them continue to absorb new members, once something goes wrong, the future of the entire human race will be uncertain.”

"Luthor." Superman showed disgust, "I still remember the chaos in Times Square."

In the years since he became a hero, Kal-El has been constantly opposed and attacked by Luthor, and his methods have evolved from publicly expressing political opinions to directly attacking and threatening the lives of his family and colleagues.Don't talk about reptile potions, let's just talk about kryptonite, this guy may contain a whole spectrum of dangerous substances.

"Luthor's methods are too radical, he must be stopped." Wonder Woman said fairly.

"But he has extraordinary influence on Congress, and we all know that S.H.I.E.L.D. New organizations, even ad hoc ones, put the initiative in someone else's hands."

Hearing these words, everyone was silent for a moment.No one denies the contribution of S.H.I.E.L.D., but Batman is right. S.H.I.E.L.D. is no longer able to protect itself. No one can explain the murders their agents made in Gotham. Who knows how many people are still lurking inside? Hydra spies?Also, the cliché, should it be regulated, who should be regulated, and what kind of regulation...

Amidst the thoughts, Superman was the first to break the silence. "But superheroes need policing," he said emphatically. "I watched you in Gotham, Batman, when you broke their legs and hung them from towers. Yes, we're up to the challenge, But that doesn't mean we're going to cross the line of the law."

For dozens of seconds, no second person made a sound.

Immediately, Batman stepped out of the shadows and stood face to face with Superman.

"First of all, I agree with you that 'superheroes' need regulation," he said dryly, "but with all due respect, I'm just here to express the importance of establishing a new organization, not to mean that I Will be part of the organization. I'm not some superhero, superman, and the law and those who enforce the law are clearly two different things."

"And then?" Jennifer couldn't help interjecting after hearing the story, "They let you get away with it?"

Bruce shot her a menacing, non-threatening look.

"Later the Martian Manhunter stepped forward to smooth things over." He said flatly, "Ron showed people the process of the demise of the Martians, and some secrets dug out of the heads of politicians, which is enough to make the last The brain that couldn't turn the corner calmed down and thought. Now Superman and Wonder Woman are rushing around the world to gather reliable colleagues they know, and I am going to clean up the clues of Gotham's underground."

Jennifer studied his expression.

Speaking of Gotham, she thought of the scary nursery rhymes she had dreamed about at the time.As her strength increases, she also has a new understanding of her own abilities, as if clearing the fog.Thinking about it now, the forces represented by this nursery rhyme should have been planning an action at that time, and their collective consciousness became a relatively distinct strand of human consciousness, so it was reflected in sleep.

Now if she was asked to look for it again, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, and maybe she might not be able to find it even if she was exhausted.However, since Batman said he was going to do a cleanup, it was a cleanup.Batman never does anything he is not sure of, and he never says big things.

Bruce cared as much about her as she cared about his life.After talking about the progress of the alliance, he asked the key question of "what are you going to do next".

The status quo is that the blizzard, the distress of the players and the appearance of Superman have caused a lot of hype in the program group.Jennifer's agent, Brian Lord, sighed and sighed during the phone call. Fortunately, he didn't lack arms or legs. As soon as the phone hung up, he started to engage in public relations in a hurry, and he didn't miss the slightest bit of Dongfeng.

If you just look at the schedule, the contestants in the current round have not been eliminated to only 16, and the next round is to challenge the ultimate dream of climbers - K2. However, for the physical and mental health of the contestants, the competition is naturally postponed. later.Delayed, but no one retired.The timely appearance of Superman prevented too many casualties on the snow mountain that day. Although Luther jumped behind his back, the climbers became more courageous.

This is actually an inevitable thing.

In this world, the more superheroes there are, the more powerful they are, and the more advanced human technology is, the more fearless people's adventures will be in many cases, and sometimes it can even be said that they are more deadly.

Jennifer is in no rush to die.

From the very beginning, she wanted to get close to nature and think of going to the environment she is most familiar with. Later, she wanted to exercise her heart of nature and collect natural fragments.Now that the snow mountain fragments have been collected, and there are more tasks and burdens on him, it doesn't make much sense to go two more times...

"Or you might want to go to the bottom of the sea." Just then, Bruce interrupted her thoughts.

"What?" Jennifer asked.Before the words fell, she had already realized it, "You recruited Atlanteans? As far as I know, that Sea King can control all the fish in the Seven Seas, and he can talk to the fish."

"Don't let Arthur hear you say that, he doesn't like being described as someone who talks to fish." Bruce curled his mouth, trying to suppress a smile, "but, yes, Jenny, I heard he used to be in Talking to a lobster in a restaurant, Green Lantern often likes to talk about it."

"So his strength is similar to mine." Jennifer's eyes lit up.

Bruce affirmed this statement: "Many people think that the trident gave him the ability to connect with life force and telepathy, but according to Arthur Curry himself, he could understand the language of the sea tribe before getting the trident, And influence and manipulate them to a certain extent.” He paused, and then said, “Sea King has the idea of ​​establishing a connection between Atlantis and land, as a member of the future alliance, I think you will have a lot to talk about. .”

Jennifer nodded.

She didn't ask how to achieve this kind of communication, but just chewed on the name—Atlantis, which only exists in legends.A mysterious world under the sea, with endless life, and a superhero with similar powers.

It is a must to go.

But before that, she had to finish the Supreme Mage's course first.
