After sending Caroline on the plane, Bruce asked again:

"Xiaoka, do you really have to go?"

Bruce was very reluctant to let her out of his sight until there was a real solution to her problem.

If something happened to her in his absence,? He would regret it for the rest of his life.

Especially since he's already experienced the pain.

"Father, I have to go. This is the guidance of World Tree, and I can find the answer in New York."

Caroline's voice was much lower than usual, but the firmness in her tone remained undiminished.

Bruce sighed,? He had trouble understanding the "guidance" from the mysterious side.

Based on the direction of a leaf, what if it was blown by the wind?

"That direction can lead to many places."

"But the first city I thought of was New York. Father, this is the mage's intuition."

Bruce sighed again. "Intuition,"? Something he didn't believe in even more.

Between the technology side and the mysterious side, the gap is really more than a gap.

"Well, although I don't understand your way of thinking,? At least I know that professional things should be left to professional people. In areas I don't understand, I believe you will make correct judgments."

Caroline took Bruce's hand and shook it slightly.

"Thank you, Father, it's very kind of you."

Trust from Batman, that's not ordinary.If you let other brothers know, you must envy her.

The old father was still worried: "Xiaoka, are you sure you don't need me to go with you?"

In Bruce's impression,? In fact, he seldom travels with his children.When he adopted three boys, they were all relatively independent for various reasons. When he first returned to the family, Damian, the only one who could be called a child, had an unusually mature mind.

And now Caroline,? In the eyes of the old father is a fragile ceramic doll.Her high fever has not completely subsided, and if magic is used, it will make her body weaker.

Mage is such a fragile profession.In particular, Caroline's full-intelligence plus point development model, although it has a high attack that makes the enemy frightened, but it also has very obvious flaws.Although she can rely on external equipment to make up for her deficiencies, her fragile nature cannot be changed after all.

What's worse, her soul may leave her body at any time, but they can't do anything about it.

Batman, who always prepared for the worst, saw his daughter's face needing to put on several layers of liquid foundation to make her face less pale. At this moment, he was suffering unimaginable pain and pressure in his heart.

Caroline shook her head slowly, declining Bruce's proposal.

"Father, I really don't need it, it's enough for Alex to accompany me."

Alex popped his head out of the pet's small backpack, and promised firmly: "Don't worry, with me here, the little princess will never have any accidents."

"Is he really reliable?" Bruce expressed deep doubts about the dragon's IQ.

"How dare you look down on the noble Dragon God of War!" Alex wished he could blow out flames and burn his hair, "How old are you, only a few dozen years old, right? You weren't even born when I knew how to fight! Smelly brat!"

Bruce: ...

The fist is hard.jpg

Calculated according to the average age of dragons, Alex is the real brat who hasn't grown up for long!

Forget it, don't bother with the ignorant young dragon.

Taking the overall situation into consideration, Bruce ignored Alex's provocation, but seriously instructed Caroline:

"The bracelet on your hand can monitor your body temperature, breathing and heartbeat at any time. It also has automatic alarm and global positioning functions. Don't take it off at any time. If there is any situation, protect yourself first, and don't be brave. You can't use magic at will now, understand?"

Caroline, whose magic ability is temporarily offline, is a weak woman with no power to restrain a chicken. A goose is more powerful than her in combat.

Weak and unable to take care of herself, Caroline nodded obediently.

As for Alex... Bruce didn't want to say anything to him anymore.

Caroline said: "Father, don't worry. I will take care of Alex and not let him mess around."

Bruce hesitated to speak.

The combination of Alex and Caroline... Where can people feel at ease?

"Do you really not need me, or let others accompany you?"

"Father, you've asked me several times. It's really unnecessary. Things in Gotham are not easy, and you are not made of iron. You still need to rest."

The concern from his daughter warmed Bruce's heart, "I can persist."

"That can't be done." Caroline blinked, "Father still needs to help me take care of Ferrell. It won't be easier than being Batman."

"Okay, I'll take care of the kid."

Before leaving the hatch, Bruce himself helped her fasten her seat belt and bent down to kiss the top of her hair.

"Xiaoka, you must come back safely."

**

The plane sailed smoothly into the clouds.

Alex lay bored by the window, depressed that he could not soar freely in the sky.

"This ugly thing flies too slowly!"

"Do as the Romans do, Alex."

Caroline took off a headset and handed the tablet to Long, "You can watch some videos to pass the time."

Steve on the screen asked, "So dragons can also surf the Internet? It's amazing."

Caroline lowered her voice and told him in a low voice: "Don't say that in front of him, dragons are very vengeful. He will feel that you have underestimated him."

In a typical case that just happened, from takeoff to 5 minutes ago, Alex kept complaining about Bruce's contempt for him.

At this time, Alex, who was already twisting under the sound waves of the headphones, seemed to like some of the videos.

"Do you think I need to make up a gift for him? I heard that dragons like treasure." Steve was a little excited about this. "In Gotham, that is, at your house, I didn't know he came Yeah. We got along pretty well then, but I haven't officially introduced myself to him yet."

Caroline could understand the mood.So far, of all the men she has known on Earth, as long as dragons are mentioned, there is no one whose eyes are shining and full of desire.

Apparently, even Captain America is no exception.

"So you like Alex so much."

Steve slightly embarrassed: "Um... I do think he's not bad."

Tony, who was sitting in the back seat, snorted coldly: "Captain, you are planning to take the indirect route."

Raid her dragon first, and then go further to attack her herself.

Old Steve blushed when he was hit.

Caroline didn't know what happened on the other side of the video call, and she didn't have the energy to distinguish Steve's face even though she was struggling.

"There is no need to give him a gift. It is the nature of the Dragon Clan to collect treasures. In fact, he will not spend even a single gold coin. He already has enough, so don't spoil him all the time."

Steve was a little disappointed, but quickly asked again: "So does he have any hobbies in food? Tony has asked the chef to prepare your favorite dishes, and Alex's can also be prepared. We are coming to pick up on your way."

Caroline's network seems to be lagging a bit.On Steve's screen, she answered slowly after being dazed for a few seconds.

"Nothing special, just prepare a lot of barbecue, he eats a lot."

She went on to say: "Thank you for coming to pick me up. After lunch, can you walk around the streets of New York with me?"

The corners of Steve's mouth curled up wildly: "Of course, I'm free anytime."

Tony interjected again: "I remember you seem to have physical training in the afternoon?"

Steve lip-syncs silently: Reschedule.

"I knew it." Tony couldn't bear the stickiness of this de facto young couple anytime and anywhere, "So she flew to New York on purpose to date you? God, why don't you give each other a name? ?”

It took just over two hours to fly from Gotham to New York.They even wanted to make a video call, not letting go of the opportunity to stick together every minute and every second.

Steve took off the two earphones and said seriously: "Xiaoka is not such a person. She must have other things to do when she comes to New York."

Tony: .

Is his emphasis on the first half of the sentence?

He didn't try to persuade him any more, he wanted to see how long the two of them could bear to pierce the window paper.

When Steve put on the headset again and looked back at the screen, Caroline on the opposite side closed her eyes without warning.

her head

Leaning on the reclining seat, his facial expression is very stable, as if he has fallen asleep.

He tentatively called: "Xiaoka? Are you asleep?"

Caroline didn't answer.

Steve instinctively felt something was wrong.Caroline paid the most attention to etiquette. Even if she was extremely sleepy, she would at least tell him a second before.

Besides, didn't they have a good chat just now?

"Xiao Ka, can you still hear me?"

"Small card?"

Steve called many times, but there was no answer.

His tone became more and more urgent, and Tony, who had been drowsy, woke up instantly.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Xiao Ka suddenly fell into a coma. No matter how I called her, she didn't respond."

Steve's fingers tapped the screen frequently, but this method couldn't make Caroline, who was far above the plane, feel the vibration.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Tony's mind: "Why did you say she insisted on flying today..."

"Something must have happened to her!"

When Steve thought of this layer, it was as if someone had poured a basin of ice water over his head, and he felt a chill all over his body.

How could he be so dull?Why didn't you see it just now?

"Happy, can you drive faster? Please."

Mr. Happy, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was sweating on his forehead: "I've been accelerating since just now, captain."

He was already trying to go as fast as possible, but any further acceleration would violate city traffic regulations.

"Calm down, Captain. There's no way for the pilot on the flight to drive faster. It doesn't matter how fast we arrive."

While talking, Tony looked for Bruce's name in the phone's address book, "I'll ask her father, don't worry."

No wonder Bruce made a phone call before leaving, asking them to be more careful when taking care of Caroline.At that time, after he hung up the phone, he complained that Xiaoka was no longer a three-year-old...

It turns out that her health is already so poor, so why does she still have to come to New York? Is Gotham unable to treat her?

Perhaps neither Bruce nor Caroline expected that such a problem would happen during the short two-hour flight.

Inability to use magic, uncontrolled coma... these two known things alone were enough to send Steve into endless panic about Caroline's health.

How could it be so sudden?Wasn't it fine for the first few minutes?She also mentioned that she wanted to take a stroll on the streets of New York, and he even started planning where to go.

He looked at the receding scenery by the window, his heart seemed to be bitten by countless insects and ants.

He rolled down the window and let the strong wind hit his face.

If there is no more air, he will almost not be able to breathe.
