The snow fell a little heavier, and the snow powder covered the hazy sun in the sky and gently sprinkled on the ground.The surroundings are very quiet, the distant shadow of the Hall of Justice glows softly in the snow, only the rustling of the wind blowing through the leaves resounds in the distance.

Audrey's hand was being firmly held by Clark, as if she would disappear again if he let go.

They walked forward side by side, and Audrey suddenly noticed that the other side of Clark's body was tense, and his heart was beating faster and faster.

"Thank you for comforting my mom and dad." Audrey suddenly smiled, turned her head and said, "I haven't figured out how to tell them...they must have a hard time accepting it."

"No, I didn't do well..." Clark lowered his eyes and replied subconsciously.Then, his eyes suddenly widened: "Little Li? You know...?"

Audrey's toe stepped on a dead leaf, making a crisp sound.She stopped and turned around lightly.

Amid the falling snowflakes, Audrey stared at Clark without blinking.She jumped up suddenly and threw herself on Clark with open arms.

Clark subconsciously took her into his arms, and his heartbeat became more violent, hitting his chest up and down, echoing dullly in his ears.

Audrey was as light as a feather, almost unreal.She hugged his neck tightly and whispered in his ear, "Yes, Clark. I've always been by your side."

During those suffocatingly lonely nights and the days when I was unconsciously distracted by the familiar scenery, every bitter moment, when the light of the aurora, sunrise and moon shone on Clark, Audrey was by his side.

The 193 days of not seeing each other were suddenly erased by an invisible hand, and the gaps that might have appeared no longer existed.Clark held her tightly in his arms and finally calmed down miraculously.

Because she was always by his side.

The winter sun, which made the snowflakes flying in the air sparkle, pierced the clouds, passed through the glass, and fell on the last words of the monument.

"As long as we remember her, she will never go far."

Doctor Fate looked deeply at the words on the monument with his hands behind his back, and smiled quietly under the helmet.He turned around, ready to leave the Hall of Justice.The moment he turned his head, he saw a dark figure standing behind him.

"..." Zatara paused, "Bruce."

He followed Batman to the personal area of ​​the Hall of Justice—a resting area designated for each member of the Justice League, closed to visitors.

Doctor Fate glimpsed various decorations here, but Batman walked purposefully to the door of his room and reached out to open it.

How should I put it, as expected of Batman... The room belonging to Batman is in the most remote location. Zatara followed Batman, and saw a bat pattern printed on the huge alloy door, and a line of eye-catching characters: Please Do not enter.

Seeing Zatara looking at the surveillance camera in front of the door, Batman who was opening the door also reminded: "Don't get too close to the wall...there are four machine-guns installed in the wall."

"Your vigilance is eye-opening," Zaatara said dryly.The door opened, and Zatara immediately had the illusion of returning to the Batcave—the layout here is not completely different from the Batcave, but it is exactly the same. Doctor Fate really wanted to ask Batman how to deal with it in this environment. How to achieve "rest"?

They walked into this halls of justice version of the Batcave, and Batman closed the door behind him, carefully checking to make sure there were no signs of intrusion.

Then, Batman turned around, and said straight to Dr. Fate, "You know that Qi girl is resurrected."

It took Dr. Fate two seconds to realize that what he said was a question: "Yes, I know. Superman should go to her, shouldn't he?"

He looked at Batman suspiciously again: "How do you know?"

"Because I'm Batman." Batman replied deeply, then immediately turned and walked towards the Batcomputer, "It's not important. The important thing is, how did Qi Mai come back to life?"

A human model appeared on the screen. Starting from the model's right palm, black spread over most of the human body surface.

Batman knocked on the table and pondered: "I got this level of erosion from the evil god Loki. He is quite sure that this level of darkness erosion cannot be reaccepted by the elemental realm... I later found the green of all things Swamp Thing, the representative of the Swamp Thing, also agrees with this view."

Zatara was stunned when he heard the answer "Because I'm Batman" for the first time. Tara couldn't help showing a mysterious smile again: "Then what do you think?"

"The conclusion of the evil god Loki is that unless Qi girl converts to the dark dimension before death, it is impossible to resurrect. And the dark believers sometimes look like ordinary people. I have seen some similar situations..." Batman turned He turned around and said, "So I doubt very much whether it is the friend we knew who came back."

Dr. Fate couldn't help but leaned back and crossed his arms in front of his chest.He looked at Batman, stretched out a hand to caress the surface of the helmet where the mouth should be, and pondered: "What if it's what you think?"

"...Superman will not allow someone to take his lost and found love from him." Batman said heavily, "If this is really the case... This is a threat to the world that cannot be ignored, we have to Get ready. I need your help, Giovanni."

The hand that Dr. Fate put on his mouth froze.He crossed his hands in front of his face and looked like he wanted to take off the helmet and rub his face.

But he didn't do that in the end, Zatara just put down his hand, and said sincerely: "Zatana can still maintain friendship with you to this day, you are amazing, Bruce."

"..." Batman turned his head and looked at the elder silently.

Doctor Fate sighed, waved his hand in the air, and made a gesture of compromise: "I wanted to explain to them first...but...well, Bruce, this matter has nothing to do with me."

"After the seventh seal was opened, Darkseid was forced to leave the earth, so the apocalypse ceremony lost its actual host. The arrival of the end is the inertia of the ceremony, and I can't reverse it." Dr. Fate said.

The exploding launcher on Apocalypse reappeared in Batman's memory.He took a deep breath and continued listening.

"Madame Shangdu actually saw where the lifeline was during the divination, but she just couldn't say it in front of everyone." Dr. Fate pondered for a while, "But in the exchange of spiritual power, she told me that the end The key to the end lies in the hero's sacrifice. She also reminded me that I can start with the unfinished apocalypse ceremony..."

Batman's fingers tapped on the armor.

"After Audrey stood up, I understood where the key lies." Doctor Fate's tone returned to calm and ethereal, "It lies in the Book of Revelation itself. The seventh seal of Revelation written in the Bible is God will give The wicked bring disaster, and redeem the souls of the good."

A god of order talks about God and the bible in front of an unbeliever, and Batman clenches his fists.

Fortunately, Zatara's way of speaking is much more normal than the Riddler and Mrs. Shangdu, and he continued to explain intimately: "I used the sun as the final point of the ceremony, and Audrey, who sacrificed herself, is completely in line with the righteous man. standard, the energy of the sun will purify her soul."

"But she didn't come back to life until now." Batman's mouth opened for a moment before he said, "And why didn't you just say it, Giovanni?"

Doctor Fate raised his arm again.His fingers moved a few times in the air like magic gestures, as if organizing his words.

In the end, Zatara gave up the wording, sighed and said: "Well, I'm actually not sure that this method is useful... After all, this is the apocalypse ceremony that was tampered with by Darkseid. I don't care whether the ceremony takes effect or not. She shouldn't even open her mouth, because even if her soul is successfully purified, she may not be able to return to Earth..."

"...?" Batman let out a confused nasal voice, "What does that have to do with whether you speak?"

"Obsession and prayer are directional forces in the magic field." Dr. Fate smiled, "The thoughts of all beings are the last link of the ceremony. 'As long as we remember her, she will never go away', Using this method can condense her soul faster and return to the world."

Batman took a deep breath.

"So, she was resurrected within the realm of the elements," he said.

"Yes." Zatara replied.

"Her soul is the same as it was," said Batman.

"Exactly."

"So she's who she is?" Batman demanded.

"If you say that, that's not necessarily the case." Dr. Fate said, "She has changed to a different life form...I think Audrey is now a pure elemental incarnation, and is no longer a human being."

Batman didn't show a disappointed expression when he heard the words, but suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.Then, he showed a slightly creepy smile.Fortunately, he quickly removed his helmet, revealing Bruce Wayne's face.

"She deserves the title of righteous." Bruce's hair fell from the restraint of the helmet and fell on his forehead. "I'm so happy to see a friend back with us..."

He was still smiling.

After taking off the black helmet to reveal his steel-blue eyes that curved gently in a smile, Bruce's smile was filled with pure joy and none of the gloominess.

Bruce put the helmet on the table, turned his head to look at Dr. Fate with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Giovanni. When I was a child, I always thought you were omnipotent...you created another miracle .”

Batman may be so full of contradictory qualities.He is often skeptical because of the safety of the world, but he is willing to trust his comrades.

His smile at the moment is so easy, exuding pure genuine joy.During those 193 days, he also missed Audrey indiscriminately, and was even more worried about his friend Clark.

And a miracle came to them.

Zatara looked at Bruce's face and smiled too.

He shook his head lightly and flew up: "This miracle was not created by me...it was created by Audrey's own determination, your trust, and everyone's sincere admiration and yearning."

…………

"It's almost Christmas." Audrey stared at the city in the distance, and suddenly bent her eyes, "Fortunately, I caught up."

They walked slowly across the snowy meadow, down gentle slopes and through evergreen trees.

Clark only felt that his chest was filled with the joy of lost and found, which made his voice rise a few times: "Yes... Christmas is almost here, Lily."

A few years ago on Christmas Eve, Audrey appeared under the hut on Clark's farm in a snowstorm and saluted him cheerfully.

And when another Christmas was approaching, Audrey was reborn in the prayer of all living beings and held his hand.

Her face shone slightly in the snow that was falling more and more, her smile was like the surface of a lake blown by the spring breeze, reflecting warm colors.

Clark was willing to add all the beautiful metaphors in the world to her, but love transcended words itself. He felt slightly dizzy in Audrey's eyes and held his breath.

Audrey stared at him and solemnly shook his hand.She said, "Clark. I want to make you a promise..."

"A promise about eternity." She smiled. "On the scale of known time, are you willing to be with me forever?"
