The little black dragon in the bat nest

Justice League, Watchtower.

"...the sector will have new members of the Green Lantern Corps stationed there, and the next thing will be handed over to the Green Lantern Corps."

Hal was talking with Wonder Woman beside him about the specific situation of the mission, while heading towards the general conference room.

"Superman?"

After opening the door, Hal looked at the slightly strange-looking alliance platoon in front of him with a subtle expression.

He stood on the spot with arms folded, looked up and down at the comrade with his head lowered at this time, and his eyes stopped on the pair of cat ears on the opponent's head.

After a long time, Hal said seriously: "The new image is good, it looks like it will be very popular with children."

Wonder Woman standing aside also nodded solemnly and echoed: "Indeed."

"No, stop teasing me, it's not funny at all."

Clark raised his head, the cloak was drooping on the ground, and the corner of the slightly rolled up cloak seemed a little aggrieved for no reason.

In fact, he really felt aggrieved.

"what happened?"

Seeing that her comrade-in-arms seemed really sad, Wonder Woman walked over and said sincerely, "If you encounter any difficulties, tell us and we may have a way to solve it."

Clark: If only this were some kind of enchantment cast on me by the enemy.

Unfortunately not.

Also, Diana, the meaning of the joke is too obvious!

Ignoring Superman's accusing eyes, Diana raised her eyebrows slightly: Justice League-style friendship, 100% pure.

Clark sighed, seeing through the coldness of the world, he was just about to change the subject and divert the attention of his comrades to other places, when he suddenly received the highest-level emergency signal the next moment.

The sender of the signal is Batman.

'Gotham is under attack and needs the league to stop it. '

'The target is - Ned Hogg. '

When their eyes fell on the last line, Clark, Diana and Hal were stunned for a moment.

If they didn't know that Batman never jokes about it, they'd really think it was a prank.

That Gotham control freak would let them into his turf?

This is the first reaction.

Wait, who is the target?Nid Hogg? !

This is the second reaction.

"Uh, B shouldn't be under...magic like illusion, right?"

Clark, who still couldn't believe the facts, hesitated, but Diana beside him had already reacted and walked towards the transmission channel.

"Who knows? If we rush to Gotham to take a look now, won't we know the truth?"

Wonder Woman had disappeared into the meeting room as soon as she finished speaking, and Hal also walked to the door.

He turned his head, looked at Superman not far away and shrugged: "Let's go, what are you waiting for?"

"If something really happens to the black dragon in our alliance, you and Wonder Woman will be the main force."

After all, judging by the size of the black dragon, among the superheroes present, apart from Superman and Wonder Woman, there are really few who can fight her head-on.

Clark, who received a signal from Batman and rushed towards Gotham, thought it was just a small incident.

Maybe Nidhogg had some kind of magic trick, or some kind of hypnosis (can dragons be hypnotized? Well, although he doesn't know).But with Batman on the scene, after all, she won't cause any serious accidents.

Batman let them pass this time, maybe it was just because the black dragon was too big to handle.

In short, there will be no unexpected developments.

Clark thought so.

Until he saw clearly in the night sky with his super vision how the black dragon ravaged the land under her feet.

When looking at the black dragon, at the moment when he was watched by those vertical pupils, Clark felt cold for no reason.

That was not the look in Nid Hogg's eyes that he was familiar with.

It's more like an irrational beast that simply wants to vent its desire, its eyes that want to tear apart and destroy something.

No reason, no reason needed.

It was just because she wanted to, so she went to put the urge into practice.

Then--

The ground was torn apart and collapsed buildings melted into flames.

At this moment, the black dragon seemed to be transformed into a nightmare, showing its fangs to all creatures.

The crackling sound and the sound of bat darts hitting dragon scales came into the ears clearly, mixed with the voices of Nightwing, Batman and Robin, making Clark feel that he was dreaming for a moment.

Until he stood in front of the black dragon, joined the battlefield forcefully, and stopped the black dragon from sweeping its tail.

"Niedhogg."

Superman looked at the companion whose image had changed in front of him, and called her name.

Then, no response.

"Superman, stop her."

Batman's calm and rough voice came into his ears, as if he was restraining something under his usual calm tone.

Clark turned his head and looked at the Alliance's brain.

"Stop her."

Batman repeated it again.

This time, he added another sentence.

"No matter what method you use, let her be honest."

The red cloak on Superman's back is intertwined with the dragon flames, and the green light ring adds other colors to it.

The black dragon wings were bound tightly by the mantra lasso, locking her to the ground.

In the end, Green Lantern turned into a huge cage and locked Ned Hogg inside.

When Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman returned to Justice League headquarters, Green Arrow and The Flash, who heard the news, were waiting for them here.

"Batman, what happened to Ned Hogg?"

Facing the direct questions from his colleagues, Batman's expression hidden under the visor did not change in any way.

"We need a proper place to hold her."

He threw another question, not wanting to answer Superman's.

"Imprisoned?"

He didn't expect Batman to use this word at all, and even Wonder Woman, who didn't plan to intervene, changed his face slightly.

For them, this word is generally only used when dealing with criminals.

And now, Batman actually said to Ned Hogg that he should be imprisoned?

"B, you are..."

Clark felt more and more that tonight was absurdly like a dream.

However, he hadn't finished his sentence, and Batman's firm answer showed his attitude.

"Green Lantern can't just stay there and maintain the cage, so we need a different location."

"Change to one that is strong enough..."

"and many more."

Wonder Woman, who couldn't bear it, interrupted Batman.

She looked at the Union Intellectual Brain and took a few steps closer.

"We've always believed in you."

"We trust your judgment and decisions, Batman."

"But now, in this case, we need to know why."

Wonder Woman looked at him.

Batman still stood where he was, as if he hadn't heard Wonder Woman's words.

But after a long silence, he nodded.

"You mean, Nid Hogg suddenly went crazy?"

After listening to Batman's words, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

"And... killed the clown?"

In the last few words, everyone deliberately lowered their voices, uttering their lips with an almost undetectable volume.

But they know, Batman can hear.

"Correct."

Raising his head, the brain of the Justice League was as calm as ever: "She is dangerous now."

"We can't guarantee what she'll do if she's not under control."

Will the killing continue?

Will it be impossible to stay sane?

Will it cause harm to innocent citizens?

The answers to these questions came to everyone's mind almost instantly.

There is no way to refute.

"We will find out the cause as soon as possible."

In the end, all they can do is utter such flimsy words.

And when only Wonder Woman and Batman were left in the conference room, Diana suddenly said a word.

"You are afraid."

She looked at Batman, who was sitting motionless in his seat, as if through the armor she saw someone hidden under the blackness.

"You're in a bad mood."

Diana stared at the still silent Alliance Brain, as if she wanted to make eye contact with a human named Bruce.

In the end, however, Batman only gave one sentence in response.

"Focus on work."

The always sane Alliance Zhinao looked at his comrades with a calm tone.

When he returned to Wayne Manor after dealing with everything, to Bruce's surprise, Jason was standing at the door waiting for him.

Standing beside Jason was Dick.

The two seemed to have quarreled, and there was something wrong with their expressions.

Bruce knew that he should ask the reason at this time, and then resolve the conflict between the children.

Just like a father should do when he sees his children fighting.

Even though he was crouching emotionally in a small corner at the moment, wanting to vent, roaring and clamoring and trying to break through the cage created by reason, Bruce still gave up the idea of ​​rest and walked towards the two of them.

"what happened?"

However, Bruce's words seemed to turn on some kind of switch, and Jason, who was still grimacing just now, turned his head back instantly.

He looked at Bruce, and asked something Bruce didn't want to hear at all.

"What about her?"

Jason looked at the person in front of him, staring at him persistently.

Then, he got a silent response.

"Where's Nid Hogg?"

Asked again, still got silence.

"I asked, Hei Zi..." Why didn't she come back with you?

Before Jason could finish his sentence, Dick on the side covered his mouth.

For the first time, Dick didn't smile at his brother.

"Jason, your wound needs to be treated."

Dick felt that he saw some kind of conflict about to be born, and he instinctively wanted to stop it.

However, when he was about to drag Jason away forcefully, the answer behind him shattered all Dick's hopes.

"she is not here,"

Bruce seemed to let go of something, and seemed to be talking to himself.

"She won't be coming back for a long time," he said.

Looking at the two sluggishly in place, Bruce spoke every word seriously.

"She committed a crime and is currently being held in..."

"She did nothing wrong!"

As if a scar had been touched, Jason, whose mouth was tightly covered by Dick, resisted fiercely, and even broke free from his brother's restraint.

"By crime, do you mean killing the clown?"

"But the disappearance of guys like the Joker is only good for Gotham!"

"Are you going to treat her like a criminal because of this?"

"Imprisoned? Ha, that's really a good word."

The continuous stimulation almost made Jason lose his mind.

He looked at Bruce in front of him, and asked mockingly, "Are you still planning to send your family to Arkham?"

Yes, family.

Nid Hogg is family.

And now, the guy that the idiot dragon cared about the most said that he would imprison her.

Stupid, idiot.

Just a brainless dragon

but--

Jason stared at Bruce, his hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

However, it's that kind of idiot who wants to protect him even when he's insane.

Heh, it's like forgetting that he hit her on the head when we first met and never happened.

"She killed the clown because of me."

Saying this without any hesitation, Jason looked at Bruce, provocatively, and asked, "So what are you going to do with me, the culprit?"

And Dick, who was standing aside, thought it was not good.

The next moment, he heard Bruce on the opposite side say in a calm tone that was so restrained that he felt terrible: "Now, you need to treat the wound and then sleep."

Bruce looked at Jason in the backlight and said calmly: "No matter who it is, she crossed the line."

"And, she needs to calm down."

In the end, the old housekeeper only heard the door slam.

"Ah Fu..."

Dick looked at him with a wry smile, and asked in a low voice, "Can I trouble you to help Jason treat the wound?"

The mature and reliable Dick, who was always able to handle anything, showed a embarrassed expression, and said, "Jason...he probably doesn't want to see me at all right now."

After all, in Jason's eyes, he was an 'enemy' who concealed his setup with Bruce and didn't stand with him to help Ned Hogg.

After placing Jason, Dick thought for a while and walked to the door of Bruce's room, knocking lightly on the door.

But he didn't go in.

"Hey, Jason was just stimulated for a while..." So don't bother with him too much?

Uh, that doesn't seem very realistic.

Dick thought about it, and said in other words: "You also need to rest."

"If Hei Zai was still around, he wouldn't want to see this scene."

There still seems to be something wrong.

With his bad mouth, why can't he speak at this time?

Dick scratched his hair, and finally said "Anyway, good night, Bruce" before running away.

He was afraid that the irritated Bruce would rush out and beat him up.

And Bruce in the room was lying on the bed without any image, just like when he was very tired when he was a child.

However, little Bruce, who was too tired to move when he was a child, would have a little black dragon cub lean over to rub his cheek, silently accompanying and comforting him.

He has nothing now.

There is only Bruce Wayne in this room.

Bruce Wayne just felt tired.

The tiredness like the tide and the sun engulfed him, dragging him down and falling.

There is no way to struggle, and there is even no intention to struggle.

He can only follow this direction and keep falling until he disappears into the depths.

Want to be presumptuous, want to indulge.

But he had to restrain himself, and had to maintain his reason.

Pain cannot be revealed, and the bitter fruit of remorse and annoyance can only be swallowed by oneself.

In the suit he's Batman, out of the suit he's just Bruce.

Bruce who lost his dragon.

It was Bruce who was incompetent and huddled here, so weak that he wanted to reject reality.

The author has something to say: Cough——

In the next chapter, Xiao Hong will come out (swear)

Tomorrow is ten thousand, if I can't do it, I'm a little pig

-

good night!
