[JLU Justice Lord] For all the things that never died

The display screen of the watchtower reflected the grand banquet. The guests, men and women, were walking or chatting in the gorgeous hall. The ball hadn’t officially started yet, and almost everyone who should be there had already arrived, except for the initiator of the ball, Gotham Prince Bruce Wayne.

However, he didn't make any shocking appearances today. Instead, he came out in a well-mannered manner before the time delay was too rude, with brisk steps and high spirits, and announced to everyone:

"I believe many people already know that today I am honored to have a special guest."

A light hit behind him at the right time, and he pulled out a young girl from the door.She was wearing a white gauze dress, her knees were faintly visible under the folded gauze at the hem of the skirt, the gauze layers were also folded on her shoulders, and she wore a crystal necklace on her chest.Her black hair was coiled up, embellished with a few crystal roses, the same style as the crystal earrings on the earlobe, and the few strands of hair hanging from the temples were permed slightly.This outfit makes her look feminine and elegant.

Bruce led her into the banquet hall, then bowed gracefully, and kissed the back of her hand: "My pure angel."

This scene was imprinted in Blue Superman's eyes, and he had to admit that from an outsider's point of view, they really matched well.

What prompted him to come up with this idea was the low smile of the photographer who came with him: "It seems that our Prince of Gotham has set his mind on Princess Justice."

Standing next to Lan Superman at the edge of the venue as a reporter, another companion, a beautiful reporter who is necessary to interview Bruce Wayne, questioned: "Even if she is less than half his age?"

The photographer replied confidently: "Believe me, age and status have never been a problem for Prince Bruce."

As we all know, Gotham is the city of Batman alone. Even after the Justice League reorganized the Lord of Justice, Batman kept pace. He also used Arkham to detain criminals who had undergone lobotomy operations all over the world.Due to Gotham's inherently rebellious nature, it is still the city with the most active media atmosphere.

Superman's human identity, Mr. "Clark Kent", is currently listed in the Gotham Daily.

Although Lord Superman never used the identity again, Batman has been faking his activities under the guise of overseas business trips.

When Blue Superman said he wanted to talk to Amaar, Batman gave him an invitation to the party, to Clark Kent.

After Bruce and Amaar danced together, they danced the second dance together. The three companions from Gotham Daily scattered in the sound of music. When Superman found out, Bruce had already been surrounded by a group of celebrities and Reporters surrounded him, but Aimar was not by his side.

Where is Emma?As soon as Superman asked this question, he heard the girl's voice, and she was walking towards him.

Right now, many guests are dancing the third dance, and most of the rest are attracted by Bruce Wayne, and no one pays attention to this corner.

Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Lord of Justice stopped in front of the little reporter, with a socially friendly smile: "Mr. Kent, I am so glad to see you come back from the other side of the world."

The sarcasm and repulsion in these words really made it difficult for Superman to pretend that he didn’t hear her. Superman saw her many times in this dance, and he always had a sweet and generous smile. She said that she was suitable to be the spokesperson of the Lord of Justice. Competent, but Superman couldn't help but ask her, "Are you happy?"

Amaar didn't answer, but only gave him a softer smile: "You know, Lord Superman, I love you."

There was a little silence between the two, and then the fourth dance sounded. Amaar stretched out his hand to Superman. Superman was slightly taken aback, then took her hand knowingly, and stepped onto the dance floor.

This inexplicable combination has attracted the attention of many people, but the hero and heroine are already used to it.

In the middle of the dance, Amaar said in a weak voice that only super hearing can hear: "Superman, there is nothing wrong with saving people, right?"

She doesn't look at Superman, her eyelashes drooping in a rare fragility.

Amaar has been thinking about what Batman thinks Superman did wrong. Does he want Lord Superman to return to the one with whom he has a better relationship with in the past?Will he prefer the Superman with whom he has a close and tacit understanding?

This week, she buried her head in the past materials. In the past, she only used reason to understand, and she never read it seriously with emotion. Now she understands what kind of Justice League the Justice Lord used to be. more friendly reason.

But from sitting in the Batfighter and watching Gotham's clouds pass by, Amaer realized that she was wrong. Batman's favorite is Gotham, and he can make Gotham and the whole world better. All right - their lord.

Blue Superman put Aimar in a position worthy of pity from the very beginning, many of which were misled by the gray bat, and the wrong impression conveyed to him by the black bat after being misled.He wanted to tell her that "it's wrong to hurt others in order to save some people" but couldn't bear it, Lan Chaoren found an excuse for himself: she was still young... No, Bai Chaoren wouldn't say that.

He didn't notice that she didn't add "lord".

Before Blue Superman could think of a suitable answer, Bruce Wayne took his dance partner and spun beside them, stuffed the beautiful Gotham Daily female reporter into the Superman reporter's hand, and then took his angel back: "Swap partners, Kent. Thanks for keeping her company, I'm always too busy at balls, you know."

Amidst Prince Bruce's frivolous showing off, Amaar pursed her lips and smiled, and followed her prince away.

The pair of prince and princess leave together, leaving reporter Clark to his bright-eyed female colleague.

Somewhat in a hurry to deal with the female reporter's inquiring questions, with his super hearing, he could still hear Bruce and Aimar discussing the theme of the dance in a low voice: "...a large number of volunteers will be recruited from college students. Of course, your The appeal..."

Only then did Superman realize that this was the plan for college students that Batman had talked about, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at them.The princess and the prince were very close. Batman in a playboy shell was whispering, with a frivolous tone and a cynical smile. Amaar listened with his face slightly tilted, his eyes focused and soft.It really doesn't look like a teacher and student, but like a pair of lovers.

In the dark basement, Superman Bai didn't turn on the lights, only a screen emitted fluorescent light to illuminate the square inch in front of him, and the light reflected on his handsome and expressionless face, coating it with a layer of metallic luster.

The picture shows the monitoring room of the watchtower, because the Flash who replaced Batman on duty violated the regulations, brought food into the monitoring room, and was eating the hamburger that Emaar brought for him.

When Amaar is not around, Superman Bai relies on this method to play time, watching Flash, Amaar, Batman-no matter which one, and himself if he comes out of the past.

He sat motionless for a long time, until the light in the basement was brightly lit, and Gray Bat walked in with Amaar.

Batman's expression and voice are in place, but the clothes still belong to Bruce Wayne. Amaar has removed the jewelry and is still wearing a small dress, with her hair tied behind her head and slightly curly sideburns hanging by her ears.These two people standing together can be used as a light source in the basement.

But the little princess asked aggressively as soon as she entered the door: "Lord Superman, you haven't eaten dinner yet!" Although she has moved the daily utensils into the basement as much as possible, it still requires Superman to be willing to do it.

Superman Bai turned his gaze to her: "Sorry, I forgot."

Amaar bit her lip, glanced at Gray Bat quickly, and said, "I'll do it again now." He lifted his skirt and ran out.

There were only two people left in the room, and this was the first time they were alone since Lord Justice was established.

Since becoming Lord, Superman and Batman haven't spoken much to each other.Batman is almost always on Earth dealing with diplomacy and the like, and Superman barely leaves the Watchtower except to date Lois.

Superman Bai sat there without moving, nor did he look at Gray Bat: "Amaar has changed a lot."

There is not much space in the basement, and Gray Bat sat on Superman's bed: "If you are talking about the Lord of Justice compared to the first day."

These words made Superman Bai unable to keep his expressionless face any longer, and showed a slight sadness.

He didn't see whether the world was getting better, he ignored the changes in people's feelings towards him, he turned a blind eye to the deepening conflicts among his former companions, and since the day he decided to become a lord, his state of mind has not changed.

He is the one who hates and refuses to look back on the past, and he is also the one who has been wallowing in the past.

After a long silence, Superman said, "I've seen that speech."

"what?"

"Martin Luther King's speech, 'I have a dream.' I saw the video."

"He was assassinated, at another speech."

"Do you want to say that I must fail?"

"I want to say that you cannot bestow the gift of peace from a high position, you must fight among human beings and be prepared to die for it."

"Is that how you became Batman?"

This time Batman was silent and didn't answer.

After a while, he stood up, walked to Superman, turned the screen in one direction, and then quickly typed on the keyboard. After more than ten seconds, he turned the screen again and faced Superman: "Look, this is your two years Things to do." The pictures and words on the screen flowed like a waterfall, which of course was no problem for Superman's eyesight.

The waterfalls of pictures and texts are reflected in the blue eyes that do not belong to humans, one piece, one pile...Superman watched silently, reviewing the facts he realized after waking up from the dream: the world at this time has been different from the past two years. It's not the same before.

Batman announced coldly: "That's why I support you."

Superman said slowly, "You want a world free from crime and pain."

Batman asked back: "Who wouldn't want that?" He pushed the screen forward a little more, "You rule and kill to make people's lives better, not to make the world look better."

This is the point of divergence in deciding how to go next.

There are not no precedents for using dictatorship to rule a country, but they fell apart without exception.These supermen have read a lot from the history books, and he knows it without Batman going on.

If Batman thinks he has to intervene, or even drag the entire Lord of Justice into it, it means that he thinks things have reached the edge of getting out of control.

The decisions made by Superman can affect everything in the future.Not destruction, but rebirth.

Finally, the bat costume said: "There are still many people who are dissatisfied with the status quo but believe you, you should make the situation better for them."

Superman almost suspects that Batman is spying on him all the time, and then it occurs to him that maybe Batman does.This sentence reminded him of the last time he saw Louise, the two guards guarding Louise, when Louise complained: "Can't speak my mind, can't think." They said: "This situation is Temporarily, he promised us."

He had rejected other people's voices long enough.

Superman's face was serious, but there was some vitality underneath, similar to the long-lost expression of the national idol who never fell before. He looked at Batman: "What should I do?"

Batman turned the computer screen in front of him: "First, smile."

Superman's eyes widened, but he did think it made sense.

He moved the corner of his mouth, trying to show a familiar smile from the old days.

The door of the basement was pushed open, and Amaar walked in with a plate, facing the smiling Superman, raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Lord Superman, do you have a toothache?"

Superman covers his face in frustration.Batman isn't smiling, that's the only thing he takes comfort in.

The bat suit was still facing the computer, as if he hadn't seen the failed scene at all, and said without looking back: "Emar, help him."

Amaar walked down the steps and placed the plate beside the two lords: "Yes, what should I do?"

"Give him a kiss."

"Ah... ah?"

Amaar looked at Superman in amazement, with anticipation clearly shining in his eyes.

Superman quickly stopped: "Wait, at least let me do this!"

He stretched out his hand to hold Ama'er's shoulder, leaned over and kissed Ama'er's forehead, showing a helpless but gentle and bright smile.
