I'm the villain in Gotham

"...There is such a possibility." T'Challa sat up straight and said seriously: "Since you came to me, you should have already thought of a plan?"

Lotkea tilted his head, twitched his lips slightly, and asked, "Do you have a mission to go out tomorrow?"

……

The next day, all the superheroes were dispatched, and Lotkea stayed in Stark Tower to provide remote assistance as usual.

"Jar," he said while operating the console, "can you help me monitor the sonar deployment across the way? We can't let their wave frequency jamming devices disrupt our communications."

The smart housekeeper said: "Of course, Mr. Darke, I am happy to serve you."

"Okay," Lotkea quickly pressed a series of instructions on the console with his slender fingers, and then stood up from the chair: "I'm going to the laboratory to check the spectral analysis results that Tony just sent back, here I leave it to you .”

Of course, there is nothing wrong with the smart housekeeper: "Okay, Mr. Duck."

Lotkea walked towards the laboratory.

He has been in Stark Tower for a while, and the laboratory is the place he often goes to, so he is quite clear about where all the equipment is placed, and where is the blind spot for monitoring.Out of Jar's sight, Lotkea quickly installed a small, black cube device under the console.

The monitoring in the laboratory flickered lightly, and then returned to normal.Even in the Stark Tower, this kind of electronic equipment made of cutting-edge dense parts sometimes has such minor problems due to unstable arcs or other reasons. Besides, there is only Lotkea in the laboratory now, Jar is quite relieved, and He did not check the system wiring of the entire building because of this small circuit error.

Lotkea, who was still busy in the laboratory under surveillance, was walking briskly in the corridors leading to the rooms of the superheroes.

Because Tony had to keep it a secret, Lotkea couldn't even disclose Jar, so he had to make a bad move.Earlier today, before the superheroes set off their missions, Lotkea left the mansion and made a small connection with Erberist in an inconspicuous alley. Dong handed over the completed device to him, and by the way applied some magic to his body.

Jar is one of Tony's most proud works, and he is still upgrading and transforming him to improve the safety factor and add more functions. Lotkea is not sure how long he can hide his actions, so he must make a quick decision .He quickly came outside Captain America's room, took out a translucent glove and put it on his hand, then held the doorknob and twisted it lightly.

The doorknob detected Steve Rogers' fingerprints and immediately unlocked the door, letting in the uninvited guest, Lotkea.

In fact, at this time when Jar's eyes have been blocked, it should be more convenient to let the night crow come than Lotkea, but it is a pity that Doctor Strange has installed defensive magic for the entire Stark Tower not long ago, once it is destroyed, it will automatically Connecting to Jar's system and sending an alarm to the entire mansion, not even Erberist could sneak in quietly.

No way, this matter still needs to be done by Lotkea himself.

He walked into Captain America's room and quietly closed the door.

To be honest, this seemed to be the first time Lotkea entered the captain's room.The moment he turned on the light, Lotkea couldn't help clicking his tongue.

I have to say that the decoration and design of this room is really "captain".

Except for the necessary rest area, almost all the space in the room has been transformed into a training ground, and any infrastructure for fitness and exercise that can be seen on the market can be found here.Lotkea's eyes flicked over those sandbags, dumbbells and various strength training machines, and then found a very inconspicuous small easel standing in a corner by the window.

It didn't look like much—at least less than in Lotkea's room—but there were plenty of places to hide.Lotkea wasn't sure what he was looking for, it should be a communicator, and there was a high probability that the false captain would put it in his room—not that he said, just the captain's tight uniform, Lott Kaia really couldn't think of where he could hide the communicator on his body so that it would not be too conspicuous.

In order to save time, Lotkea didn't observe too much, and quickly rummaged around after choosing a location.

The body of this puppet is completely incomparable with his own body. Lotkea cannot use magic to restore everything afterwards, so he has to be careful and try to make everything look as if it has not changed, which greatly increases the time he spends searching.Lotkea searched in the captain's room, sweat dripped down his chin, but he still found nothing.

Seeing that it was a dangerous time to be discovered by Jar, Lotkea pursed his lips and had to give up this operation.

He left the captain's room, closed the door, and went back to the lab to remove the device that interfered with Jar's system.The surveillance camera flickered slightly and returned to its original state.With four fingers in his pocket and a fresh report in his other hand, Lotkea returned to the control room.

No one found anomalies.

He stayed in the control room until the superheroes returned from their missions.After saying hello to Tony, and watching Hawkeye pull away Hulk who wanted to come over for a hug, Lotkea and the black panther passing by looked at each other indiscriminately.

After a while, the two met in the Panther's room.

Seeing Lotkea's expression, T'Challa, who had already changed his uniform, thoughtfully handed him a glass of juice: "It seems that things are not going well?"

Lotkea sighed slightly: "I got nothing, I need more time."

"S.H.I.E.L.D. seems to be very busy recently, and there will be many tasks ahead, and we still have a chance." T'Challa comforted: "Just be careful, don't be discovered."

"I will." Lotkea nodded slightly: "And you too, Your Majesty, you have spent more time with the captain than me, so be careful."

He drank the juice in the glass and said goodbye to T'Challa.

Lotkea was walking in the corridor, and ran into Captain America who also changed his uniform and came out to eat with Bucky. "Hey, Lotkea," Captain America greeted him gently, and then smiled: "I just saw you come out of T'Challa's room, so happy to see how your relationship has become. good."

Lotkea suddenly became vigilant in his heart, and smiled: "Yes, I recently discovered that Wakanda's technology is indeed quite unique, and T'Challa is also a very generous king, allowing me to do technological research with him. Communication. Of course..." He sighed, showing a look of regret: "It can only exist in verbal communication."

"I don't think this is a big hindrance to you," Captain America said in relief. "You have always been a scientist ahead of your time. Except for the two Starks, I have never seen anyone as smart as you. Besides, Tony You can use your laboratory as you please."

He smiled and winked at Lotkea, blue eyes like gentle seas.Lotkea seemed to be confused by him for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, as if to throw away all doubts: "You are right, thank you, captain."

Bucky patted him on the shoulder as encouragement.Then he separated from Lotkea and went to have dinner with Captain America.

Unless he has ulterior motives, he is really exactly the same as the captain.Lotkea walked and thought, and couldn't help but feel worried, and had to think of another question that had been raised by Batman, but he had been subconsciously ignoring it.

Is the captain really the only one whose identity has been changed?

The number of enemies is unknown now, and he and Batman have guessed about their abilities, but they are not sure yet.And because today's goal has not been achieved, the time to learn the truth has to be missed for a while.As for why it is the captain and not someone else...

Captain America is a symbol of the United States, the hero of countless people's childhood dreams, and one of the most influential figures in the United States-and to be honest, perhaps his influence is greater than that of the president.At least the educational clips of Captain America, not the president's, are played during the school study period.

If the opponent wants to achieve some goals related to ordinary people, then the captain's influence is indispensable.As for why they came to him, Lotkeiya had many guesses, but he was not sure about any of them, it was just a guess.

He was thinking about this in his heart, and suddenly felt that the phone in his inner pocket vibrated.

is a text message.

Not many people would text him—or Lotkea didn't know many people at all, and most of them were concentrated in Stark Tower.Urberist has been staying with Bruce all the time, so of course Bruce doesn't need to send him messages; his former assistant and now Professor Eddie Joyce, an important researcher at Wayne Technology, sometimes sends him messages, seeking Let's make a point and break through, and ask him when he can come back, and if he can help bring some of Tony Stark's autographs.

But probably what Bruce said to Eddie, this die-hard Stark fan always thought that he was here on vacation, envious and jealous, but also always remember that it is best not to disturb the workaholic Lotkea all the time. holiday, so I don't come to him often.

Then, there is Peter Parker, who I just met recently, but who likes to send out news like bombs.Especially after acquiring the spider's super power, because they are not used to the sudden appearance of the power, the frequency of communication between them has increased a lot.

Lotkea took out his mobile phone, then raised his eyebrows as expected.

"Hey, Mr. Dark, I don't know if you are busy now. I think I have almost mastered the ability recently. If you or Mr. Stark are free, maybe I can take a test? Of course, it's okay if I don't do it." Okay, that's...uh, if you have time and you happen to be interested. I also thought of some new uses for my abilities, maybe you want to take a look?"

Lotkea felt they were already friends, but the little boy still seemed a little uncomfortable asking him for help.Sometimes Lotkea thinks that this may be one of the reasons why he pays so much attention to Peter. The people he knows are either like Bruce, whom he is willing to give away, or like Tony, who has a sloppy attitude when asking for help. As if I was the one helping.

Shy and shy underage boys are really rare in his circle.

Lotkea couldn't help smiling, and tapped on the phone.

"Of course, I happen to be free. Do you want to come over now? I am very happy to see how you master and improve your abilities."

Peter's hand speed is much faster than that of Lotkea. He looks like he never took his eyes off his phone after sending a text message. Just a short while after Lotkea sent a message, he received a crackling reply from Peter. .

"Really? That's great Mr. Duck! I mean, I really, really, really want to show you my new invention soon! It's really awesome, first class, I'm sure you see It will feel great afterwards too!"

While sending and receiving messages, Lotkea had already returned to his room. When he saw the news that Peter was full of energy, he laughed aloud. He almost felt that the recent worries and anxiety about Captain America were melted under these words.

The next moment, he noticed Peter's words. "New invention"?

Lotkea was a bit at a loss, isn't it the development of abilities?

But doubts turned into doubts, and the movement of his hand has not yet fallen: "Okay," he typed on his mobile phone: "I will wait for you at a nearby cafe first, we will meet there first, and then I will take you up."

After receiving a positive reply from Peter, Lotkea stood up from the sofa chair and called, "Jar?"

"Yes, Mr. Duck." The smart butler's elegant voice came from the speaker in the room: "What do you need?"

"I'm going to take Peter to Stark Tower for an ability test," Lotkaia raised his cell phone: "I need you to help me again."

"No problem," Jar said in a gentle and polite voice, "I will help you and Mr. Parker get to the testing room safely without being noticed. Do you need to tell sir?"

"...No need." Lotkeia thought for a moment, and said, "Tony is in the lab. I think he doesn't want to be disturbed now. I'll tell him when I'm free."

"Okay." Jar said: "Then please put on your headset, and I will remind you all the way."

……

With Jar's help, Lotkea safely brought Peter to Stark Tower.

Along the way, Lotkea looked calm, while Peter acted furtively, with a nervous expression, and at the same time he was very curious about his head, as if he was acting in a spy drama.

Lotkea: "..."

After confirming that no one was around, Lotkea said helplessly, "You don't have to do this, Peter, Jar is very smart, as long as we follow his instructions, we will definitely not run into anyone else."

"But, Mr. Duck, this is so—cool." Peter lowered his voice: "God, this is simply the most exciting day of my life!"

The first time he came, Peter fell into a coma because of being bitten by a spider. When he returned, it was too late, and he had no chance to take a closer look at the interior decoration of Stark Tower because he was afraid that Uncle Ben and Aunt May would worry.Lying on the bed at night, recalling the experience of the day, Peter almost cried with regret.

Today, Peter finally managed to free up an entire afternoon, and Mr. Dark personally assured that he would not be discovered. While Peter felt that this stealth game was very exciting, he also found himself ushered in by an observation tower. Great Opportunity in Gram Building.

So... Of course, you have to read it carefully, who knows if he will have another chance to come to Stark Tower after this time!

But when Peter said he was watching, he really just stretched his neck to have a look, and he would pay close attention to Lotkea, trying not to make trouble for him.Noticing this, Lotkea couldn't help raising the corners of his lips, and stretched out his hand to rub the little curly hair on Peter's head.

Alas, such a well-behaved little boy should be the only one in Peter Parker.

The hair on his head was rubbed suddenly, Peter immediately stopped poking around, turned his head and looked at Lotkea nervously, thinking that he had done something he shouldn't have done.Then he saw a gentle smile on Lotkea's face, he was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help showing a smile.

"Okay," Lotkea stroked Peter's hair again, and pulled him to the training room: "Jar told me that the captain and Bucky just left here, and now there is no one in the training room, which is just right for you to show my ability."

They came to the training room and locked the door.Lotkeia came to the console and started to adjust the parameters: "Let's do a basic test first, it's not dangerous, it's just some simple operations." He said, smiling at Peter with a comforting meaning: "Don't Worrying, as simple as the usual physical education test at school."

Looking at the various instruments slowly rising around him, Peter quickly became tense, and then slowly relaxed under Lotkea's smile.He took a breath slowly: "Okay, Peter, don't worry, it's not a big deal."

He talked to himself to further relax himself, then walked in front of an instrument similar to a sandbag, and under the guidance of Lotkea, mustered all his strength, and beat it fiercely!

"Arm strength: 13.4 tons, jump height: 7.13 meters, vital capacity..."

Lotkea recorded Peter's body data item by item, and at the same time couldn't help clicking his tongue.He knew Peter before he mutated, and he clearly knew that Peter was just a very ordinary underage student, and because he didn't exercise regularly, his physical fitness might not even reach the normal level for this age.

But now—look, he can't even be called human anymore.

And judging from Batman's previous popular science on Lotkea, this is not the upper limit of Peter's ability, and he will still have a lot of room for development in the future.

"Very good." After completing the recording of the basic data on the projected virtual light screen, Lotkea waved it away: "Let's look at yours next, Peter. You told me in the text message that there is something wrong with the ability. You have gained a new understanding and application, as well as your 'new invention'." Lotke Yawin said: "I have changed the mode of the training room to a super high defense strength, your ability will not cause damage here, use it with confidence Bar."

"Okay." Peter took a few steps back, took out two oval parts from his jacket pocket, and buckled one on his wrist.

Lotkea raised his eyebrows in surprise: "This is..."

Peter stretched out his hand, and violently curled his middle finger and ring finger against the top of his head.Suddenly, a white thread shot out from his wrist, stuck to the roof, and brought Peter to jump from the ground!

"This is my new invention, Mr. Duck!" With the strength of the white silk thread, Peter made a fancy twisting movement in the air, and then stretched out his other hand, spraying a thread towards the other wall , keep yourself up in the air without falling to the ground.His voice was mixed with the sound of the wind, and it sounded cheerfully and excitedly in Lotkea's ear: "I just said, this is awesome! And I named it myself, it's called—"

"Spider web launcher!"

……

"Very powerful, Peter, I never thought you could do this." Lotkea sent Peter out of the Stark Tower, and the two stood in an inconspicuous alley: "I always knew you were very talented Man, but your web launcher and silk fluid still exceeded my expectations."

And Peter said that he sneakily made the spider silk liquid with materials from chemistry class in school!God, how did his little head grow?

Peter rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment: "Maybe it's okay compared to my peers, but... I'm still far behind you and Mr. Stark, and I still need to work hard."

Lotkea shook his head. He knew that his inventions actually took advantage of the timeline. To say that he is a genius, Peter must be one of the top human beings: "Don't belittle yourself, think about the age between us The gap, you are already quite powerful."

After saying this, he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, I didn't ask you last time, but I think you should have thought about it now that you have acquired superpowers for a while." He Looking at Peter: "What are you going to do with your abilities?"

Peter was silent for a moment.

"...Actually, I don't want to do anything." He said: "I know that my ability is what many people desire to have, but I... I just want to be an ordinary person."

Uncle Ben often said to him: "With great power comes great responsibility."

But he didn't want to take responsibility. He really envied Iron Man and the others, who were able to fight bad guys and were admired and praised by everyone.But... that's not what he wanted.Those responsibilities are too heavy, and everyone's life weighs heavily on them, and Peter feels a little out of breath just thinking about it.He just wants to do nothing, just pretend that his superpowers don't exist, and live in peace and contentment.

The web launcher and spider silk liquid were actually his whim. Peter has always loved making these scientific supplies. It just occurred to him that day that he might be able to invent something that fits his abilities, but that doesn't mean he wants to use it. They go to do something.

Finally he repeated: "I want to be a normal person."

"...Of course," Lotkea was silent for a while, and said gently: "Of course you have the right to choose what you want to do. This is your ability, how to use it, the choice is in your own hands. As long as you don't If you go astray, you can do whatever you want."

He suddenly realized that he was a little preconceived.Because he knew that Spider-Man was Peter Parker, Lotkea had always thought that Peter would become Spider-Man. Just now, he even thought about telling Peter to be careful, start with small things first, and don't provoke those big villains.In the end, the little boy told him seriously that he just wanted to be an ordinary person.

Lotkea doesn't know why Peter became Spider-Man in the last timeline, and he was very desperate when he was a superhero.But those things are already in the last timeline, and have nothing to do with the present.

There are many superheroes in this world, and there is no shortage of Spider-Man.Erberist is not considered to have violated the original agreement with Doctor Strange.

Nightcrow will save Peter's Uncle Ben and make the cause of his life's pain disappear in the previous timeline.He will let Peter Parker live safely and happily in this world.

Peter didn't know what kind of resolution Lotkea had made in his heart. He originally thought he would be reprimanded for his lack of ambition, but instead of getting angry, Mr. Darke comforted him very gently, telling him that all choices belong to him. on hand.

Peter felt his whole body was filled with a warm current, his heart was sweet, and there was a bit of sourness in it.He paused on the spot, then suddenly opened his arms and hugged Lotkea.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Duck." Peter rubbed his face against Lotkea's chest, his tone trembling slightly: "I didn't expect... I'm really glad to meet you."

Peter's parents died when he was very young, and he lived with Uncle Ben and Aunt May for so many years.Uncle Ben is a very generous person, but he always believes that boys need to have the courage to face the world. Although Aunt Mei is gentle and gentle, she doesn't quite understand what boys are thinking at this time.Peter hardly ever had this kind of heart-to-heart conversation with anyone, not even Harry and MJ.

You can express your thoughts at will without worrying about being reprimanded and ridiculed, and you can also get the most intimate suggestions and the most sincere support.It was so rare, and Peter had never felt it before, but now, he wondered, if his parents were still alive, was this what it would be like to be with them?His father will care for him and his mother will support him.

At this moment, in an inconspicuous alley, Peter sincerely felt warmth and love, consideration and care.

Lotkea froze for a moment when he was hugged suddenly, then his expression softened, and he reached out and touched the top of Peter's head.

……

It was late, and Lotkea was still driving Peter home.

On the way, he hesitated for a long time, and said to Peter while waiting for the traffic lights: "I'm afraid I'll be a little busy recently, so..."

Peter immediately understood what he meant: "I know Mr. Duck, I will come to you less often."

"Besides that," Lotkea said, "don't send me any messages." He paused, and then said, "Even if I ask you out, or need your help, don't promise me, just say You've been busy recently."

"...What?" This request was so strange, Peter looked at him in surprise: "Why?"

Lotkea turned his head and smiled at him: "I can't tell you the secret."

Obviously, his ambiguous words gave Peter too much room for imagination, and his expression immediately became serious: "I know Mr. Duck, I won't disturb you."

After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment, and said in a very embarrassed way: "Then, I mean, when can I send you a message? When can we get back to what we are now?"

Lotkea thought for a while: "Why don't we set a secret code." He blinked: "As long as I send you 'Spider Parker', it means we can communicate like now again?"
