"But Lita, there is one more important thing I want to tell you."

When Bruce uttered these words, his tone was still soft and warm, but for some reason, Lita heard a different meaning at that moment, because the potion's effect had not completely dissipated, and her thoughts were a little chaotic. Also suddenly sober a lot.

She grabbed Bruce's hand nervously: "What's the matter?"

"Professor Charles' test report for you came out, and I think you should feel that your ability has become more and more uncontrollable. So, we discussed it outside just now, and finally decided—" Bruce paused After a while, those words, even if he is the Batman who is always serious and cold in the eyes of outsiders, he can't say it.

"What to decide?" Lita has already understood Bruce's emotions at this moment. The sadness and reluctance in his eyes are not for their daughter whose life or death is uncertain, or her superpower that can destroy the world, but... …

"I'm sorry, Rita... After weighing all possible situations, we have to decide to temporarily put you into a deep sleep by freezing until——we find a way to restrain your superpowers."

When Bruce said these words, he had tried his best to slow down his tone, making them sound more flat and relaxed, but even so, it was not difficult for Lita to see from Bruce's eyes that he was holding back sad.

Rita suddenly felt that this was a Bruce she had never seen or even imagined.

He has always been the powerful and extremely tenacious Batman, even if he is sometimes lonely and paranoid, he can always bring hope and faith to people, as if nothing in this world will bring him down.

He shouldn't be like this now, helpless and sad.

"So, are you going to turn me into a Sleeping Beauty?" No matter how much reluctance she felt in her heart, Lita still chose to face it with a smile at this moment.

She knew that Bruce would walk in and say something like this to her, which meant that the group of people outside had made a decision that could not be changed. She also knew that whether she wanted to or not, in front of the safety of the whole world, she would Such sacrifices must be made.

"Yes, my princess." Bruce smiled and kissed her forehead, he knew that Lita just didn't want such a sad atmosphere to continue to ferment, "You must wait patiently, waiting for your prince to come Kiss to wake you up."

The warm breath exhaled from the tip of his nose lingered in front of Lita, making her cheeks feel hot unconsciously, "I believe, you will not make me wait for a long time."

"No, definitely not..."

*******************************

Rita later did not remember when she fell asleep in his arms again.

In a daze, she only remembered that the man whispered many, many whispers in her ear with that extremely magnetic and gentle voice, talking about their past, talking about their future plans, talking...

She seemed to have another long dream.

She dreamed of the scene when father Logan took her hand and walked out of the laboratory gate for the first time when she was a child.

She dreamed of those nights in the orphanage. After the dean fell asleep, a group of little girls sat around the windowsill, and by the moonlight, they were telling stories about Batman.

She dreamed that on the day she graduated from college, she left Gotham with a suitcase alone, stood in front of the platform of the New York station, and used her mobile phone to navigate to find the address of the interview company.

She also dreamed that N years later, because of her excellent work ability, she would be promoted in her position. She bought her own apartment in New York, had a handsome young boyfriend, and was planning to get married.

She thought, if she didn't have Tony Stark's blood in her body, if she hadn't been so obsessed with Bruce Wayne, or that should be the life she should have had...

*******************************

When he woke up again, it was already noon on the second day, and Bruce was sitting on the sofa not far away.

Seeing her eyes open, Bruce was the first to get up and walk to the bed, "How are you resting? Want something to eat?"

"I'm not too hungry."

Lita turned her head and looked out the window. The weather outside was gloomy and terrible. If it wasn't for the clock beside the bed showing the time, she might have thought it was dusk.

Rita remembered that since Honey disappeared, the weather in New York seemed to be like this all the time. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the thick clouds shrouded the whole city in a strange atmosphere...

I'm afraid this is also caused by her superpower out of control, right?

"Even if you don't have an appetite, eat something anyway, you haven't eaten for two days." Tony brought in a few snacks and gruel, and put them beside the bed.

Through the unclosed door behind Tony, Rita vaguely heard the noisy dispute outside the door, accompanied by chaotic footsteps, it seems that there are quite a few visitors in this house now.

"That—" Lita opened her mouth, but couldn't help asking in the end, "How much time do I have?"

Lita's question was undoubtedly like a prisoner sentenced to death asking about the date of his death, which made the already slightly dull atmosphere in the bedroom even more depressing.

"Leta, don't worry. I have invited the world's best geneticists and Professor X to solve your problem. We still have time. I think they can come up with a better solution. "

Tony really wanted to give Rita more confidence and hope at this time, but his own eyes turned red as he spoke.

He finally couldn't help turning his head away quietly, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Dad..." Lita was at a loss for words for a moment. In just a few days, Tony seemed to have aged a lot suddenly. hair.

She knew that what she said at this time, "I believe in you, we will never be separated" will only make the scene more heavy and sad.

Lita took two deep breaths, forced herself to calm down, and said pretending to be coquettish, "Dad, I'm suddenly hungry, I want to eat fried eggs."

"Okay, I'll let someone go—" In the middle of speaking, Tony seemed to remember something suddenly, "No, I'll go right away and do it for you myself."

I can still remember the first few days when Rita came to New York and became the eldest daughter of the Stark family. In order to increase the communication and intimacy between her parents, Rita got up early on that day and ran to the kitchen to prepare for Tony. Prepare a breakfast that she cooks herself.

It's a pity that Stark's kitchen supplies are too high-tech, which is unheard of for Rita, a child who grew up in an orphanage, and she couldn't even cook the most common food after a continuous toss for an hour or two.

On that day, Tony probably also had a whim. After learning that Lita had made a mess in his kitchen, he rushed into the kitchen with great enthusiasm, rolled up his sleeves and said that he would have a heart-to-heart breakfast with his precious daughter...

In the end, after unremitting efforts and close cooperation, this pair of father and daughter who have no talent in cooking——

Finally succeeded and demolished the entire kitchen.

Under the chaos of the kitchen, the only thing that was rescued and could barely be eaten was probably the simplest fried egg, the kind without seasoning.

But the memory of that morning, for both Tony and Rita, can probably be regarded as the most delicious fried egg they have ever eaten in their lives.

*******************************

When Tony was about to send a large plate of steaming fried eggs and seasonings to Rita's bedroom, in the living room, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents sent by Director Fury had already delivered the final preparations.

According to the plan, they would put a special protective clothing on Rita to ensure that all parts of her skin would not be damaged by the long-term freezing.

Then she will be injected with a drug that can minimize the body's metabolic skills and achieve a state similar to suspended animation.

In the end, she will be sealed in the freezer, and then transported to an absolutely safe and secret place for storage.

"Nick, you promised to give us two more days."

"Yes, the original plan is indeed like this, but there is no harm in being fully prepared in advance." Director Fury pointed to the sky outside, "You should know when the weather in New York became like this , and no matter whether Miss Stark is sleeping or awake, it will only intensify. The news in the past few days has also been reported one after another. Large areas of crops all over the country have begun to die and rot for unknown reasons. In some areas Even frequent hurricanes and tsunamis, you should understand what these mean."

"But, that's my daughter! That's—"

"Tony, I understand how you feel right now." Captain Steve, who always wanted to find a chance to meet Rita, came over and patted Tony on the shoulder, "Everything will be fine."

"No, you won't understand, ever!" He pushed Steve's arm away and turned into the bedroom.

Steve still wants to catch up and try to persuade him, even though he already knows that Lita is a friend, a confidant, and a partner who can work closely with him, but it is impossible to become a lover anyway.

But after all, she is also the only woman whose heart has been touched after being frozen for 70 years.

Director Fury stopped Steve at that time, "The last time, I think it's better to leave it to her family members!"

********************************

When Tony walked into the bedroom again, Rita had already woken up. Compared to the previous two days, she looked much better. She was chatting with Bruce with a very relaxed tone.

She saw Tony coming over, greeted him with a smile, then took the plate from his hand and started to eat.

"Dad, I just heard from Jarvis that the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is also here?"

"Yes, I just came here to discuss some things about the Avengers, don't think about it." Tony knew what Lita meant, but he still chose to use other excuses to perfunctory the past.

Lita didn't continue to ask, but quietly finished the fried eggs left on the dinner plate, then raised her head and asked, "Professor Charles, where is he?"

Bruce, who had been helping Rita with tea and water in the room, finally opened his mouth nervously: "Why, is there something wrong with you?"

"No, I just thought of something suddenly. I want to talk to the professor." Lita thought for a while and then said, "Bruce, can you contact Superman? I want to meet him too..."

Even though there were too many doubts in their hearts, at such a moment, all Bruce and Tony could do was to try their best to meet all of Rita's demands.

They didn't continue to question Lita's intentions, but conveyed Lita's request to meet Charles and Clark to the other party, and arranged a brief meeting.

As for the content of the conversation, Rita didn't say anything, and Charles and Superman also chose silence in a tacit understanding.

********************************

The two-day period is fleeting.

In the past two days, not only the United States, but also natural disasters of varying degrees broke out all over the world.

Tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions...

Tens of thousands of human beings lost their lives in these disasters.

No matter how much reluctance there is, Tony and Bruce both understand that they have no reason to refuse or delay.

In the evening of that day, Lita ate the most sumptuous dinner accompanied by many relatives and friends, and then she changed into the protective clothing sent by Director Fury, and lay quietly in the freezer prepared for her.

The life suppressant was slowly pushed into her body from the back of her hand. Bruce stood by the freezer, holding her hand, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word.

"Bruce..." The effect of the potion took effect very quickly, Rita had already started to feel sleepy, she could only force herself, and murmured a sentence in his ear repeatedly...

********************************

In 1990 AD, at midnight.

A secret laboratory somewhere in Montgomery, USA.

A man in a black cloak deftly avoided the cameras and guards everywhere, and stretched out his hand neatly to climb out of the wall.

He was holding a newborn baby in his arms.

Under the faint moonlight, the baby girl's face was pale and almost transparent. She looked at the man who was holding her in front of her, blinked curiously, and made an indistinct "Yahah" sound from her mouth.

The man finally took off the black mask in front of the baby girl, kissed her forehead, and said softly: "hi, babygirl, I'mBatman!"

[If I can live again, I hope I can go back to the beginning of the story, so that I can see the you I love the most when I open my eyes. 】

These were the last words she said before falling asleep...

So, even if he travels through the entire 22 years again, he will fulfill this wish for her...
