Jennifer wasn't quite sure what to expect next.

She knew how to use the Spear of Destiny the first time she got it, as if someone carved a page of instructions into her head so clearly.The greatest power of the Spear of Destiny lies not in controlling minds or creating illusions, but in modifying reality.As long as there is enough power to support it, it can change the world into whatever the owner wants.

The first few masters are existences with relatively strong will among human beings. Whether it is good or bad, each of them has used the Spear of Destiny to make a great cause and become a famous existence through the ages.But none of them are superpowers, and the power they provide is limited, so they can only determine the outcome of a few battles at most.Even because ordinary people can't bear this power, when they lose the Spear of Destiny, their life ends.

And Jennifer is different from them.

She knew she could do amazing things with this weapon.

Let's just talk about mind control, as long as Jennifer is willing, the data towers of the Heart of Nature will immediately usher in a wave of "data upgrades" and "patch pack increases", and those tallest towers will soon be the most intelligent among humans. Those who become superhuman or even psychic.The Spear of Destiny is like an amplifier, a key. With this key, all existing minds will no longer be secrets.They will become Lego bricks under the tip of a spear, changing with the owner's mind. Even ordinary people can use it to withstand the attacks of superheroes in World War II. Think about what superhumans can do with it.

That's the case with mind control, let alone modifying reality.

Scarlet Witch lost control of a mission a few years ago when the Avengers were teaming up with the X-Men to free the enslaved little mutants.She completely exploded at the sight of the prison cell and torture equipment, and all the imprisoned little mutants disappeared.Afterwards, the Avengers found that they had returned to their parents, as if they had never left, and had a completely normal childhood.Several of the kids even grew up participating in competitions of one kind or another, not only have records to check, but also developed a fan base.The impact of this reality modification spanned seven states, and more than 500 million people had no memory of their memories being modified.

This leads to a question - why on earth did the Supreme Master imply Arthur?

Jennifer is not a saint, and if she makes up her mind, even Bruce can't stop her.The heart of nature has seen this, the will of the earth has seen this, and of course the ancient one who has been observing the long river of time cannot fail to see this.Does He want to see her control other superheroes, exert influence on reality, and even change the direction of the whole world?

eccentric.

she thought.

In any case, there is one thing that must be done.

The Heart of Nature once said when passing on power, hoping that Jennifer can handle the relationship between multiple races to ensure the strength of this life force, so as to ensure its long-term existence.Now that she's got the Spear of Destiny, it's time to pay back.It has to be done very carefully though, the last thing she wants is to abuse her powers and cause a chain reaction where a butterfly causes a huge storm...

"Jennifer!"

A voice interrupted her thoughts.

Jennifer felt her hand sink, and saw Arthur clutching her arm, frowning at the damage caused by the explosion.He froze when he saw the tattered protective clothing.The damage of the protective clothing was considered in the design, but such a large area of ​​damage is definitely not within the scope of consideration.The human body cannot withstand the high pressure environment like the Atlanteans, and at this depth, the water pressure is absolutely deadly.But she's not dead yet.Not only did he not die, he was even alive and well with a bunch of cracks on his body. "You must be kidding me," Arthur said in shock.

"Would you mind letting go?" Jennifer blinked mischievously, "I kind of want to..." She took off the protective suit completely the first time Arthur stepped back, and then slid in like a fish. in the deep sea environment.In the soft golden light from the Spear of Destiny, the silver thread moved faster on the skin, and within a few seconds, she was back to her whole body, as if she had never been hurt.

"So, what's going on now, where are our humans, are you going to become an Atlantean?" Arthur crossed his arms.His eyebrows were raised higher and higher, and when he saw Jennifer then repair the broken trench and those hapless trench people, his eyebrows almost flew to the hairline. "What's this?" he asked. "Don't tell me it's like in the illusion? Can you make a bunch of monsters too? God, should I start worrying?"

"Not yet," Jennifer teased, "I'll send you a warning card if I need to." She didn't mean to turn herself into another race... well, she was on purpose.After so many days of suffering, who said she couldn't enjoy a few happy moments?The bottom of the sea, which had been dark just now, was now a shimmering palace, where even the tiniest living things glowed.It's very beautiful here.Beauty beyond imagination.She no longer has to rely on marine life to observe the environment, but can witness this dreamlike beauty with her own eyes. "Great," she murmured.

Arthur grinned.

He swam back a little more, then raised his chin, claiming, "You may be able to see the sea and hear the sea folk, but you can't swim as fast or use a trident as I do. Bruce Wayne paid the telepathy tuition, but you still owe me the information fee, appearance fee, and the cost of learning submarine combat skills from Spear of Destiny."

"I can force you." Jennifer threatened him.

"Forcing the King of the Seven Seas?" Arthur pretended to be contemplative, "You are very courageous, Miss Davis. I have to seriously consider whether I should vote for you to join the alliance. Although the big bat will definitely not let it go Such power is running around outside." He was amused by his remarks for a while, and then turned away. "Come on, let's see if you can swim."

"You have no idea what I can do," Jennifer murmured.

She knew Arthur meant swimming like an underwater dweller.She's seen it many times.These Atlanteans are no different from launching torpedoes when they swim. They are basically supermen underwater, with the same huge noise and super fast speed.She wondered briefly if she could turn into a Kryptonian, then smiled to herself at the image in the red cape.Anyway, swim.

Arthur took the first step, and Jennifer followed closely behind him.

At first, she was taken aback by the crazy sea water scraping her face, and what was even more frightening was the feeling of being unable to control the direction when she was advancing at high speed.About three or four times she hit rocks on the bottom of the ocean, and once she nearly ran into a pod of playing orcas - Jennifer swears she heard them swearing in a way that absolutely shouldn't be, including but not limited to "Stupid Sea People".She felt an extraordinary freedom, a freedom not unlike that of surviving in the wilderness of nature, without having to think about anything else.

When she could see the Lost City in the distance, she stopped, changed herself back to her original form, and then transformed into a complete protective suit.Arthur chuckled, but he didn't refuse to take her back to the palace to join the three other guests for dinner.Atlantis is no different from before she left, Natasha and Clint are still exploring the smallest details, Prince Aum is still so melancholy and alienated, but Jennifer knows that her life is completely different up.

The underwater world is wonderful and peaceful.

She spent another three days in Atlantis, making sure she visited as many places as possible and took as many photos and videos as possible, which would later serve as a preview of the opening of the underwater world.Whenever she passed those marine pollution treatment pillars, she stopped, observed carefully, and vowed to put the Heart of Nature's plan on the agenda as soon as possible.

With the Spear of Destiny's power bonus, Jennifer's control over creatures can reach as far as the ocean, but she does not use this power to connect with Arthur's life force over sea creatures, and Arthur does not expand or enhance his Telepathic override.

Jennifer wasn't sure if she wanted to think about this part.

She may never trust other people like these superheroes, Superman, Captain America, Professor X, Aquaman...their feelings seem to have no boundaries, and they are willing to repay even those who have not been together for a long time. The greatest sincerity.

The difference between them and her is not even because of past experiences and memories.

If Jennifer is honest enough, she will admit that her past is not particularly tragic among superpowers, at least not more tragic than those who lost their families, lovers, and everything because of good deeds.The realization that her loss was macroscopic and doomed by a greater power had always tormented her in the past, but the more she learned about superheroes, the more it became an oddly comforting realization.

Now she had Bruce, and Alfred, and Dick, and her agent, and a few happy friends, and a new, inhuman friend, Arthur Curry.

Not once did they discuss visions of the end times.

Not once.

And for that, Jennifer is grateful.

Even if it was only half a month including the time in the illusion, they seemed to have known each other for many years.Perhaps this is due to the special nature of telepaths, or perhaps it is the drawbridge-like effect caused by the illusion, but the ending will not change: Arthur has earned her respect and friendship.

It kind of made Jennifer wonder what it was like to be around other people.

After all, there was a whole alliance waiting for her in the future.

Unfortunately, this whole alliance of people doesn't make Batman feel happy or expected.

The third time he reminded the suspicious-looking Cyborg to be careful-"No, you can't just show up at some middle school student's door and claim that you are here to sign autographs for fans!"; The whole earth is his area, the Green Lantern kicked out of Gotham—"Take your glowing ring and go home, Gotham is mine!" Persuaded to go - "There is no place for you to go out here, we haven't officially released the mission yet."; The one hundred and first rejected Superman's request for help, including but not limited to his stupid safe word proposal - " Is Metropolis running out of cats?", and, "Banana muffin myass!".

The matter of the alliance is enough to worry people, and every day when they go home, they have to face an apprentice who is getting more and more curious and active.

Dick Grayson is 15 years old, most of the time he is a good boy, but sometimes he can show his age and become a thorn in the ass.Worst of all, Gotham's dark forces are at work again.

So when Jennifer came home, she was confronted by an unhappy Batman.

He paced up and down the Batcave like a ghost, with his black cloak behind his back, rolling out in heart-pounding waves.Staring at those clenched fists, Jennifer imagined how many villains had paid for their actions this week.The creak of leather gloves tightened and the taut body line gave enough information, if there was anything more intimidating, it was the pursed lips under the mask. "Twelve murders!" he announced. "There's a bastard who committed twelve murders in Gotham. It won't be long before he knows number 13!"

"A new clown?" Jennifer asked.When she first came home, she left her luggage on the upper floor, and Alfred still stayed on it to organize, most of which were small items with Atlantis characteristics.The Spear of Destiny was taken back to the Realm of Consciousness.So all she has now is freshly brewed coffee and a muffin.

Thinking of clowns reminded her of dark humor that made people uncomfortable.Since the death of the clown, the entire Gotham City has been giving birth to new clowns at a terrifying speed, or in other words, people who inherit the ideas of clowns.Batman and GCPD captured some of them and put them in a mental hospital, and the less crazy part is at the Black Gate, but this crime is like a wildfire, as long as there is a smallest spark, it will burn again soon stand up.

"The last time there was a copycat crime, there was a behind-the-scenes...Hydra? Last time you said that you would reorganize the clues of Gotham's underground, how did the investigation go?"

"Not as good as I thought it would be," Bruce said sarcastically. "As if the end of the world wasn't annoying enough, these villains can't have half a minute off from committing crimes. Even if the earth is going to explode tomorrow, they'd like to die in the pile of money .”

"They know about Galactus?" Jennifer was surprised.

"At least it's not impossible that Kim doesn't know." Bruce breathed through his nose.S.H.I.E.L.D. is not monolithic. Any news that enters S.H.I.E.L.D. is like a hypermarket, and there are always people with loudspeakers to reveal the news in all directions.As a local snake in New York, Jin Bin couldn't be more sensitive to this kind of news.If he knows, it means that most of the criminal networks related to him may know about it, and they may also fish in troubled waters.

"Is Hydra still studying mutants? Where's Luther?" Jennifer then turned in another direction.

"I'm more concerned about what weapon Luthor wanted from S.H.I.E.L.D. than that." Bruce sat down beside her.She straightened her folded legs and put them on his lap, grimacing at Kevlar's touch.They sat in silence for a while, Bruce caressing her ankle unconsciously. "That hidden force also worries me." He finally admitted, "We already know Luthor's plan, and the Avengers are also closely watching Hydra's activities, but I don't think it is Hydra. Hydra, or just Hydra, plotting machinations behind Gotham."

He looks tired.

Jennifer opened her mouth, but quickly closed it again.

She wanted to say that she could help.When she was in Karma Taj, she still thought that finding the real culprit in the whole city was like looking for a needle in a haystack. It was one thing to use the stream of consciousness in batches, but it was another to find a specific idea in a large batch of stream of consciousness. .But now with the help of Spear of Destiny, she could actually try it.But... scan everyone's brain?Read everyone's consciousness?She wasn't sure if that was the way Batman would like it.

This is the downside of getting the Spear of Destiny.

In the past, Jennifer couldn't control the power of nature very well, so she focused on learning and thinking. She tried every means to dig out the truth of the power of nature, how to call it, and control it, but she didn't apply it much. it.From the earth's will to strengthen the soul's ability to bear to the spear of destiny to increase telepathy and grant reality modification, now Jennifer wants to use her abilities more.She wasn't sure if the change was good or bad.

From Batman's scrutiny, he could easily guess what she was thinking.

"Not now, Jenny," he said. "If we're going to do this, we're going to do it right. I'll take care of Gotham and you'll have to focus on other things. Green Lantern brought intel on Galactus. We don't have much time."

"Green Lantern?" Jennifer frowned, "Arthur also said he wasn't on Earth."

"He just came back, and he can come to Gotham to make trouble for me as soon as he comes back." Bruce snorted coldly.

Jennifer sighed.

She put down the empty coffee cup, grabbed a tissue to wipe off her fingers, and began to help him take off the Kevlar suit.It wasn't cold in the Batcave, and enough of the furnishings had changed since she'd moved in, but there was nothing more comfortable than nestling in the great halls of Newgrange.And Dick is going to be out of school soon.

Three or ten minutes later, they moved to the living room. Bruce took a brief shower and was drying his half-dry hair. The water droplets hit the cashmere pants, leaving spots of dark color.Jennifer sat cross-legged on the carpet unpacking fan gifts and sponsor gifts from her manager, while sharing her underwater experience with the man of the house.She paused when she talked about the illusion, knowing that with his wisdom, it was impossible to ignore the amount of information contained in it, but she continued to speak flatly.

Bruce listened carefully, and then leaned back on the back of the sofa with an inscrutable look on his face.Somehow, this reminded Jennifer of a conversation they've had since long ago.At the time, Bruce accused her of "standing too high", being "more terrifying than a Superman mentality", "not caring about anyone", and "having a heart that hangs high".She wondered what Bruce would think if he knew where she was coming from.But 1 minute later, what he really asked was:

"Do you think it's possible for us to convince Arthur Curry to get a Neptune?"

Jennifer was shocked at first, then dumbfounded.

"Let me tell you that I visited the legendary city, met the princes and nobles at the bottom of the sea, learned how to talk to fish, blew up a trench, went through many strange illusions, and got a terrible weapon. And turned yourself into a non-human, and you care about Neptune?" she cried, slapping his arm hard, "Seriously? Brucey? Neptune? That thing probably only shows up in the whole story Less than one hundredth of the time!"

"When I was a kid, I thought dinosaurs were cool..." Bruce gave a smug grin.His blue eyes lit up with such pleasure that it was easy for her to forget the tension herself as she looked at them. "...Anyway, I should talk to Arthur about sponsorship benefits."

"Wow." Jennifer sighed.

"What?" Bruce said defensively.

"You're Batman, Batman doesn't say cool." Jennifer teased.

"Don't be so dramatic." Bruce rolled his eyes.He threw aside the clothes on the cushion next to him, patted the sofa lightly, and said, "Come here, silly girl." Jennifer sat down beside him graciously, and snuggled into a familiar embrace.The embrace she had also dreamed of in the illusion.

Bruce lowered his head and pressed his lips to hers.

The kiss was tender, full of comfort and heartbreak.Jennifer knew that it was impossible for Bruce to be unaware of the information she revealed, and he might not be able to know her past accurately, but he must be able to understand her mood.He kept all doubts in his heart and just kissed her.And she indulged in this tenderness, staring into his eyes.That beautiful, beautiful steel blue.She felt incredibly safe and happy, and a sense of gratitude, as if she finally had a place in the world.Jennifer curled herself up and embedded herself in this embrace.

She nearly fell asleep in his arms until a sound from the hall startled them.

"Ewwww!" Dick Grayson made a gag sound. "This is the living room, grown-ups! Get yourself a room! Babe will be terrified of you!"

"Watch your words, boy," Bruce said lazily.Meanwhile, Jennifer asked, "Babe?"

"Dick found a kitten hit by a car on the street." Alfred, who came from the kitchen, said with a smile.He brought out a fluffy little black cat from behind another sofa, the little thing's eyes were round, as if accusing them of daring to disturb its sleep.Jennifer reflected on why she didn't perceive this life, and finally attributed it to being too relaxed in the manor.

She walked over and looked at the new member of the family curiously. Dick threw off his schoolbag behind his back, took off his coat, and wiped the disinfectant. He ran over excitedly, first hugged Jennifer as a welcome, and then began to touch it up.

This kitten has pure black fur and blue eyes. Judging from the ripped sofa back and the hurricane-like pure wooden floor, it is not tame.The family prepared a cat litter and a litter box for it, and the beautiful rice bowl on the side contained carefully mixed cat rice.This must be Alfred's masterpiece.She couldn't imagine Bruce holding up a jar of calcium carbonate powder or silver powder and calculating how much to put in it.

Finally, Jennifer assessed: "She looks a little bit like Bruce."

Dick laughed.Alfred laughed too.And Bruce threw a towel from the couch and said sternly, "Don't be stupid. She's a cat, she can't look like me."

But it is.

"Dick is completely smitten with her, our little boy, having his first love," Bruce went on, with a look of snort, "There were days when he couldn't even train properly, night watch , all I can think about is this stupid cat."

"She's not stupid!" Dick screamed, "I'm not obsessed with her! And Babe wasn't my first love!"

"You called her Baby." Bruce shot back. "There isn't a kitten in the world that deserves to be called that stupid name."

Jennifer looked suspiciously between the two of them.

Dick's face became as red as a lantern.He took a deep breath and complained loudly: "I did a good night watch, but Bruce didn't! I took a day off, and he was taken off the tire on the street!——" Jennifer raised her eyebrows, and found that Bruce was in the dick In the sarcasm, he put on a straight face. "——This is too embarrassing! Nightmare, the Dark Knight, and Batman all over Gotham, have their wheels turned by a street gangster!"

"Dick Grayson." Bruce hissed, "Double training!"

"He was also attacked with a wrench!" Dick smashed the jar.

"Really?" Jennifer couldn't help laughing, "Really? Brucey? A wrench? This little thief's craft has reached the pinnacle of proficiency?" They looked at each other, and Jennifer couldn't help staring at his face. head, hoping to find the imprint of a wrench that doesn't exist.

Being watched by the family of four, Batman had no choice but to clear his throat, and clarified with a blank expression: "That happened last Friday night. I followed some clues to investigate, and it happened to point to the Bowers Hotel, so I put Batman The car was parked in the alley. I left for less than an hour, and when I came back, I saw a little boy removing the tires of the Batmobile." He paused, "He did throw something at me, and Yelled at me. He said the tires would get a good price. He said he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to eat for days."

"Oh." Jennifer restrained her smile.She was a little worried. "It's not good."

"It's bad." Bruce nodded, affirming her statement, "You know what's the worst thing? I think he's got talent, Jenny. He's smart, so smart, that way of spotting, stealing The way of attacking, the way of attacking, and the little tricks he used to play after being discovered. He may indeed have no food, but he said this not because he needs sympathy, but because he needs to get away. He knows what he wants, and he doing things that could turn him into a dangerous person."

"Batman thinking," Dick muttered.

"What did you do?" Jennifer just asked, "I guess you'd do something."

"I found him a school. I said he had to go to school." Bruce shrugged.

"The kid said 'fuck all the schools, the schools suck,' and I give that a ten," Dick said.He is the naughtiest age, Alfred seems to pour all his love on him, although Jennifer does not have as many interactions with Dick as others, because she is away all the year round, but she also feels sorry for what happened to him, and her adoptive father Bruce is fierce in his mouth, but he is also so indulgent that he is basically not afraid of anyone in the family.

"Pay attention to the words." Jennifer reminded for the second time, and patted his forehead lightly, "And then?"

"And then he said—'You don't have to tell me how to do things, big man!'" Dick laughed again, "God, we, I mean me and Alfred, heard on the surveillance channel how the kid Yelling at Bruce, you should have seen the scene, the Gotham Daily reporter will die for this story."

"I didn't hear the part about the curse," said Alfred, pretending to be serious, "but I think I heard the accusation of pointing and meddling."

Batman turned a deaf ear.

As if things weren't messy enough, the fierce black kitten, Baby, started meowing viciously.It first hijacked Jennifer, whom he didn't know very well, then Alfred, who tried to put him back in the nest, and finally, Dick, whose eyes were glued to him and didn't move.Poor Dick Grayson immediately knelt down to smooth him, scratching behind his ears and under his chin, wanting to throw a ton of "cutie" and "cake" at him.

Jennifer thought it was a little funny.

She looked at the kitten for a while longer, then returned to the blanket to finish unwrapping the last present.Eddie Redmayne sent a very beautiful crystal flower, while Leonardo only sent a signed photo of himself with the words "know you'll miss this pretty face while you're recuperating ".Jennifer wanted to spit in his face.

By the time she was all done, Dick and Alfred were in the kitchen, and Baby the cat was enjoying her dinner.Jennifer sat on the sofa and pulled Batman's hair.

"It's not the tires," Bruce complained.

"Hmm." She said, snuggling back into his arms again.
