[Comprehensive British and American] The predecessors are missing one

I look at Louise and then at Clark.Clark looked from Louise to me.Louise looked at me and then at Clark.

The scene was very embarrassing for a while.

"How about, after the banquet is over, let's find another day to eat?" I asked tentatively, carefully observing the expressions of Clark and the blonde beauty, "Can you bring your... female friend?"

Clark blushed instantly. "No, no, Eli, you misunderstood. Louise is not... not my girlfriend."

I kept smiling, rolling my eyes inwardly.Ghost letter!

The focus is on Louise's expression. She doesn't look like she has no chemical reaction to Clark, nor is she so harmless to me, but a little inexplicably wary.The answer is obvious, the two have ghosts.

I just found an excuse and slipped to the back of the banquet to call Wade and the others.

"Clark seems to have a girlfriend!" I said, squatting on the ground, holding my head in a breakdown.

"you sure? ’ Percy was surprised.

"Even if it's not a girlfriend, it's almost the same," I cried to my brother on the video screen with a sad face, "What should I do, I don't want to fight with others!"

At this time, Wade said something to Peter. They were far away from Posy holding the mobile phone, and I couldn't hear their conversation clearly.

"No, Yili doesn't like to steal things from people, and she doesn't know how to steal people's things. She doesn't have the competitiveness in this area. 』Posey turned to explain to those two people.

Then Peter agreed, "Yes, Ellie can't do this kind of thing.She is not that kind of girl. 』

"Then what should I do, let her die?" ’ Wade raised his voice.

I heard hurried footsteps behind me. "Wait, someone is coming. I'll hang up first."

My location is the balcony at the corner of the hotel floor.When someone broke into the balcony, I just turned off the phone screen.

I turned around and came face to face with the intruder.Both of them were taken aback.

It was a young man in a black suit.Dark brown short hair, handsome appearance.

"...Sorry." The other party pulled the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, "I didn't expect there to be someone here."

I waved my hand and smiled politely, "It's okay, this is not my room, you didn't intrude into any women's private domain."

The other party stayed for a second and laughed out loud.

I frowned.Why does this smile look familiar?

"You're so funny," he said, looking at me, hesitating for a moment, then frowning too.

"Wait. Are you..."

"Alan? Barry Allen?"

"Eli!"

We called out each other's names in unison and laughed at the same time.

"My God! When did you learn how to make up?" Barry teased me, his expression was full of surprise, "I can see you again! At that time, you suddenly changed schools and lost contact. I thought you were going to break up with me! "

"Oh, it's nice to see you too, Barry," I hugged him softly, suddenly realizing that something wasn't quite right, "I thought we broke up long ago?"

Barry looked at me.Barry's eyes widened.Barry froze.

"When?"

"Uh, right after we haven't spoken in so many years?"

Me and Barry, standing on the balcony, hugging each other under the night sky.

I look at him and he looks at me.

...No.

Just after I thought about what to do, Barry suddenly covered his mouth and laughed.

"Sorry sorry, I was kidding you," he said, as before, kissing me on the cheek when I wasn't looking, "I missed you so much, Ellie. Actually, I almost thought you were dead. These How was your year? I heard you moved to New York?"

We chatted for a while on the balcony, mainly exchanging about our later lives, where we went to study, where we are now, and so on.Barry cleverly glosses over his becoming the Flash and being recruited by Batman to join the Justice League, only briefly mentioning that he worked in a pretty large corporation.

This is so humble.He can just say he's a superhero and I won't be intimidated.

Of course, it is impossible for Barry to know that I came prepared. Wade has already printed out his life experience in the past few years like a labor bank form. Hit on the top, working overtime and looking at me makes my liver hurt, but the Avengers are better.At least S.H.I.E.L.D. is quite generous in paying salaries, and they will have what they should have.

I was thinking, this banquet is still rewarding, if Clark is not hunted, I still have Barry?At that moment, Barry's cell phone rang.

"Oh, oh, oh, sorry, sorry." Barry quickly took out his phone.Seeing the name on the screen, he slumped, "Well, I can't continue chatting with you, someone is looking for me──"

A loud explosion interrupts our conversation.

Barry reflexively pushed me back.We looked at the source of the sound together. In the city center, less than two blocks away from us, probably near the city hall, there is a huge robot with green light, constantly destroying anything within its destructive range, and for a long time Be a bit like a clown.

"What's that? Aliens?" I frowned.

"No, it should be mental patients. New York is a bunch of aliens, we are in Gotham." Barry replied quickly, turned his head, and pressed my shoulders.

"I'll take you to a safe place first."

"What about you?"

I asked this question subconsciously.After blurting out, I also froze for a moment.

Barry is the Flash, and of course he goes to the scene to deal with the accident.

But it's unlikely that he'd just told me about it after the reunion.

My question amounts to asking him to lie.

After realizing this, I regret it.Barry wasn't the type to tell a white lie and convince himself he had a clear conscience, and he was a good guy, I know.

"Let's go in first," Barry said, leading me into the hotel.He chose to avoid the subject.

I hesitated to tell Barry that I knew he was The Flash, and that Barry had found a place for me.Everyone was evacuated in an orderly manner by the Gotham police. It can be seen from people's reactions that everyone is used to these things, and they can even take pictures and post tweets with peace of mind.

absurd.

Now, I'm more worried about what's going to happen to Gotham after tonight than the rose on my left arm.

Yes, it can be none of my business.I'm not from Gotham. I'm not familiar with Batman, and I have no feelings for the people and things in this land. The collapse of Gotham will not affect New York's economy. At most, the Dow Jones Index on Wall Street will fluctuate because of this incident tomorrow morning.

Before long, the whole world will forget about this tragedy.

The death of people here has nothing to do with me.It doesn't matter if I die.

They don't care anyway.

But is this really good?

I stopped and turned around.The robots are still wreaking havoc, and it looks like the Justice League has nothing to do with it.Green light enveloped the night sky, bloody sparks, screams and wailing, this is Gotham tonight.

And these people around me, these people who can afford to go to dinner parties, people who control money and power, are slowly, escorted by the police, leaving their cities, discussing Arkham Should mental hospitals be dismantled?

Isn't that right?

I look at downtown Gotham, and I look at the people around me.Many thoughts are intertwined in my mind, disturbing my emotions.

If I'm just an ordinary person with no ability, then I should follow them and withdraw from the city.

but I am not.

If my excuses convince me, I can follow them and escape Gotham.

but I can not.

If one day in the future, someone finds out that this night, the sea goddess who inherited the name of Poseidon, the daughter of Gaia, was here, and she escaped, how many people will be ashamed of my decision?

Gaia will be disappointed.But she and my mother will comfort me, and everyone around me will comfort me.

So is this the ending I want?

Another angle.Suppose today, New York is being attacked and I am the one who needs help. Will I hope that everyone will ignore it and leave, or will I lend a helping hand?

Tonight I choose to be a deserter. Another day, when my homeland is attacked, it is just a matter of others standing by and watching.

The answer is obvious.

I turned around and walked in the opposite direction of the crowd.No one cared about my behavior, only a young policeman shouted to stop me from afar.I smiled and nodded at him, and turned into the dark alley under his surprised gaze.

"Percy, let me ask you. How do you usually cast your magic? I remember one of your tricks is to summon sea water."

I asked while clutching the tiny microphone hidden behind the brooch.Percy's voice soon came out of the earphones.

"It's just to feel the power of the sea, or to ask Dad for help, but he's unconscious now, and you can't completely control the sea, so this trick can't be used for the time being... Why do you ask this?" 』

"Just thought it might come in handy," I said, drawing a circle in the air and magically reaching the downtown battlefield.

To my surprise, there are still many civilians who have no time to leave, fleeing in panic.The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I shouldn't be leaving. There are still injured children and country seedlings that need to be protected. How could I be so bad and heartless.

On the battlefield, I stood out in Romona Keveza's emerald green satin tulle embroidered mermaid gown.Barry spotted me right away and rushed over in shock.

"Why are you here! I'm not sending you out!"

Barry grabbed me and questioned him, his eyes flicked back and forth anxiously between the group of mentally ill people who came out of Arkham, the injured ordinary people next to me, and me, obviously unable to prioritize.And he completely forgot that he was wearing the Flash uniform and should pretend he didn't know me.

I quickly glanced around, and found what I wanted in the hands of a fallen policeman.

"Borrow me the knife." I said, squatting down, took the knife from the policeman's hand, and cut off the hem of the skirt.

Barry's eyes widened.He was dumbfounded.

"Give it back to you." I put the knife back into the hands of the policeman and turned to look at the battlefield.

Batman, Cyborg, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman are attacking the robots, and the Gotham police are trying to keep psychopaths from Arkham from entering City Hall.I saw Clark lying on the side of the street, and my heart shrank.

"Who attacked him?!" I grabbed Barry and pointed in Clark's direction.

The author has something to say: The plot of this chapter is partly from the Lego Movie series. Once the Joker and Lex made a super-large kryptonite robot.Of course things ended smoothly.

Because I couldn't think of any simple plot that could be used for a while, I used this.

Look at how hardworking I am!! Don’t be too quick to collect and collect me!!! (Blossom
