[Comprehensive British and American] Flying around the sun

When Red Hood woke up, he heard dripping water.

The hood hadn't been taken off his head, but he knew where it was the moment he opened his eyes—he knew this place so damn well.This is the Batcave.

His wounds were treated, and bandages carefully kept out of the way of motion.But his props were basically taken away, and someone was next to him.Red Hood clenched his hands quietly. When he was thinking about countermeasures, the people around him suddenly broke the silence, but the voice was not any one he had imagined:

"Your breathing is shallow," said a clear female voice. "I hope I didn't wake you up—but you've slept long enough."

The voice didn't belong to Barbara or Kate, but it was familiar.Red Hood no longer pretended not to regain consciousness, and he rolled over and sat up.

This was the first time he saw Qi Nuo's full face.The woman sitting on an office chair has beautiful eyes with drooping corners and soft curves, with emerald green pupils hidden behind golden eyelashes.She was wearing a loose knit dress, with a pair of strange black earrings dangling from her earlobes.Countless light spots are flying around her, and a book is being opened in her hands, embellishing this scene with a perfect soft light filter.

Then she parted her naturally smiling lips and said, "Don't get too excited—I don't want to fight today."

"...So what's the matter? Come and see my joke, Qi girl?" Red Hood said coldly, putting one leg up.

"You can call me Audrey." The angry girl said kindly, she relaxed on the back of the chair, and turned another page of the book, "I want to chat with you."

Red Hood narrowed his eyes.With great difficulty, he suppressed the urge to sneer, and swallowed the swear words that had reached his throat: "I don't want to chat. Are we familiar?"

"Literature is a rope that falls from the sky." Audrey said thoughtfully, "I like this saying."

"What are you talking about—" Red Hood stopped abruptly, and through the halos flying around, he saw the familiar old cover of the book in Audrey's hand.It was one of his favorite books back in Wayne Manor.This made him feel absurdly funny.

He knew that it would be no good to fall into the hands of the old bat.Red Hood gritted his teeth. He had to be prepared to adjust all his plans, especially since the old bat probably already knew his identity.But another premise is that he can get out of the Batcave-at the moment Batman and his replacement or his biological son are not there, only the gas girl who appears here for unknown reasons, maybe this is an opportunity.

"You seem to want to chat with me again." Audrey touched her chin, leaned forward and said, "Could it be that I gave you some hint?"

"I..." Before Red Hood could say a word, Audrey continued talking to himself: "Batman will be back in about half an hour, I don't have much rest time left... I May I call your name?"

"No." Red Hood forced a word through his jaw.

"Okay." Audrey closed the book, the halos were startled and scattered around, and drifted back to her side again.The nonchalant expression on her face faded, and Red Hood heard her whisper, "Can killing save Gotham?"

"The only thing I'm sure of is that Batman's actions will never save Gotham—and what does that have to do with you?" Red Hood said, suppressing the rage in his heart.

"How many people have you killed?" Audrey said.

"I can't remember." Red Hood replied flatly. He couldn't control his emotions. The fact that he was in Wayne Manor made his blood rush and burn in his veins. "What on earth do you want? Have something to say?" Straight up."

Those spots of light gathered together, turned into a line, and then wrapped round and round around Audrey's arms obediently.Audrey looked down at it, then raised her eyes.There was a strange calm in her eyes, and as Red Hood looked at them, he felt his churning emotions strangely suppressed.

"Look, I'm not going to interfere with you—you and Batman, the so-called 'Gotham business,'" she said. "I just want to talk to you about your attitude towards evil."

"What's my attitude?" said Red Hood.

"Yesterday, you killed more than a dozen small gang leaders. They are all notorious criminals and villains in Gotham. They have been released or escaped from prison many times." Audrey said seriously, "Your path is to Conquer evil with fear and violence?"

"Why do you assume I'm doing this in the name of justice?" Red Hood sneered. "Let's just say I'm a criminal, ma'am. I need to gather power and drive out the unruly scum, that's all. "

Audrey shook her head, and her earrings swayed slightly: "That's not what I said. You didn't kill people to practice justice."

"Oh. You're right." Red Hood raised his head slightly and said sarcastically, "I'm not for justice, because my justice has been destroyed. I just want to throw their bodies into the trash can and tell them : This is evil, and evil deeds will be rewarded.”

"I think you've misunderstood." Audrey said, "I mean, by killing those villains, you are ensuring the existence of justice, and maintaining the balance between good and evil in the process..."

She smiled slightly: "'End war with war, cure chaos with chaos' (she said a sentence in Chinese). I don't think your path is wrong. You are amazing."

Red Hood found it inconceivable, then ridiculous, and finally, his anger was ignited.Does she know what she's talking about?A superhero who isn't even from Gotham, just like Superman, can't wait for light to shine from every pore, and the closest thing she's ever done in her life may be to slap a mosquito that sucked too much blood—how dare she say no to that? He judged his actions presumptuously and self-righteously gave him such a ridiculous definition? !

"All I did was for revenge, take back your false flattery, it's not good for anyone." He tried not to get angry, and said with the last of his reason, "If the people you guard hear that you are here What would they think if they praised a criminal for no reason?"

"Ah." Audrey noticed his irritability, and the glowing thread on her arm instantly collapsed, turning into a halo flying all over the sky again in the dark bat cave.She tilted her head and looked at Red Hood for a while—it was only then that Red Hood realized that her upper body was not wearing clothes, only a few bandages were wrapped around it—then said softly: "Actually, I have seen you before."

"Have you met me? When?" Red Hood felt absurd, theoretically speaking, it was completely impossible, no matter when they were not from the same world.

"In another world." Audrey said something shocking, "but you are about my age there."

"Excuse me, are you crazy?" Red Hood had already started to have a headache, his emotions were tossed by this heroine, and he felt that it would be better to let them fight again than to continue this conversation.

"Don't you know? Our world has been restarted by The Flash." Audrey said softly, "He used the Speed ​​Force to go back in time and changed the world... Another me lives in that world. Many things there Altered, worse than this world, much worse."

"Really?" said Red Hood dryly. "I don't know what you're telling me about."

"I know another you. Or, I have seen you - after all, we didn't have much time at that time, and I only met you once." Audrey picked up a halo and said gently, "But So I know your story."

"Are you sure that's 'me'?" Red Hood's heart twitched uncomfortably, but he decided to ignore it.

"Let's just assume he's someone else. His name is Jason Todd." Audrey raised her eyes to look directly into his eye holes, and even though she knew she couldn't see her eyes, the red hood kept her eyes away. Sight, "He never met Batman in the alley."

"Oh... congratulations for him," said Red Hood.

"So he became...a bad boy in the traditional sense?" Audrey chuckled lightly, letting go of the halo, "He stole, took drugs, and joined something called the Bloody Brotherhood strange organization..."

"Oh, so you're saying meeting Batman will make him better. Enough—"

"Then he died." Audrey turned her head and said, "but he came back from the dead... Then, he was taken in by the church, realized the beauty of the world, and became a priest."

"A... what?" Red Hood felt as if he had been slapped in the head, and wondered if she had told him a bad joke that wasn't funny at all with that gentle and serious face.

"A priest." Audrey repeated. "At that time, Superman and I were separated in the battle, injured, and fell in an alley in Gotham. He found me, rescued me, and treated me. Said he remembered my name."

"..." Red Hood said dryly, "You mean he's a priest in Gotham. That's crazy."

"Really? I thought so too at the time, because that world was so chaotic and crazy... But he told me that no matter how miserable the world is, there are still many beautiful people and things, and no matter what..." She chuckled , "He's always helping people, whether it's for God or whatever."

"So?" Red Hood took a long time to find his voice, "What do you want to say? Put people from another world on me, and arbitrarily think that I am a good person? Or, use an inspirational prodigal son to turn back the story, Advise me to change my ways and return to the right?"

"No." Those halos rose and fell with her breath, and Audrey stared at him tenderly and said, "I would never bring here the knowledge of certain people in another world... Of course, they would make me Have more opportunities to get to know them again.”

"I'm a criminal," Red Hood emphasized.

"I know." Audrey stood up, "but like I said, I don't think your path is wrong."

"What would Batman think if he knew you said that?"

"I don't know." Audrey turned her head and smiled at the red hood, "But let me tell you a secret, he will always be a nine-year-old angel boy in my heart."

"So what's going on?—Hey!" Red Hood tried to get out of bed, but the halos gathered together into a rope, bound him loosely to the bed, and went out.He could feel that the shackles were still there, and instead of giving him a chance to escape from the half-hour conversation, he was distracted by the stories she told, which really outweighed the gains.He spat in a low voice, folded his arms and lay down again, not realizing that at some point, the sense of tyranny that had been rolling in his heart since his rebirth subsided a lot.

Audrey waved away those halos, and happily flew out of the Batcave.She lowered her eyes and smiled, and then a pair of black boots appeared in her sight.

"..." Audrey raised her head, and was looking directly at the "nine-year-old angel boy" with an expressionless face.Batman, who had been standing at the entrance of the Batcave for some time, looked down at her and spoke first: "Go and do another hundred sets of air pressure exercises."

"one……"

"You attacked too hard last time. Almost all of the Hydra soldiers had their eardrums perforated and ruptured, and one of them showed symptoms of sudden death from shock." Batman said seriously, "I hope you can control the one who punishes evil and promotes good." Spend."

"I……"

"If you have time, I can ask Tim to give you a tutorial on programming. I heard that the system defense of the White Tower is like a sieve." Batman started the conversation again, "If there is anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow. I am very tired tonight." Busy. Remember to finish the practice."

"but……"

"I didn't eavesdrop just now." Batman emphasized, "What else do you want?"

"It's okay." Audrey turned around, and grabbed Batman's pointed ears fiercely behind her back.
