Chapter 48 You may not be able to get rid of it

"You are here."

Freya walked through the corridor and walked behind Bruce. He was standing on the glass curtain wall of the watchtower, wondering what was on his mind.

"You didn't argue with them about the plan of action."

"Are they still blaming Stark?" Bruce didn't look back.

"A lot of people were upset, the kids especially," Freya shook her head, "but Professor X held them down and kept Wolverine from cutting a few holes in Iron Man's neck."

"What do you think?" Bruce asked.

"What about Stark?" Freya walked up to him and stood side by side with him. Outside the window, the blue planet was covered with clouds and clouds, and the white vortex blocked everything below. "Why? Are you worried that I will angry?"

"On the contrary, I wonder why you are not angry." Bruce said with his head down.

Freya looked at him for a while before speaking.

"You know, I talked to Oliver about this global defense system before the Luthor meeting."

"Then?"

"He said that everything that happened in New York scared Stark, just like everything that happened in the Metropolis scared him." Freya said, "I can feel how they feel, just like I feel how you feel. .I wouldn't be overly surprised to find out how much more lethal a smart guy can be when a smart guy and a mediocre guy are freaked out at the same time."

"Because helpless people can only stand still and look up at the sky?" Bruce smiled.

"And the former will want to hold the sky in their palms." Freya's gaze fluctuated for a moment, "I can't say I'm not offended by this alien alert mechanism at all, but I can understand why Stark did this. He walked Wrong direction, and Luthor played tricks. It's normal for a superhero who has experienced fear to plan ahead and want to keep everything under control. But no, this is not what surprised me. You know the real Is there anything that surprises me, B?"

Bruce turned to meet her eyes.

"I."

"You." Freya affirmed.

They were quiet for a while, and there were slight creases between Jin Long's beautiful brows.

"You scare me, B. Your eyes just told me in the boardroom that you have the same urges, the same thoughts as Stark, the only difference is that he did, he failed, and you didn't. I don't Knowing that you haven't had time, or that you haven't shown failure. Honestly, it scares me."

"I'm not going to do that," Bruce said. "The league is one."

"And you fully trust everyone in it?" Freya asked.

Gotham Knight snorted.

"I've been fighting alongside all of you without distraction."

"Lie," Freya said, her tone soft but sure.

"You're not ready, and a single vigilante can destroy an entire league."

Bruce didn't deny it.

Freya sighed, stepped forward, and touched his exposed chin.Rough touch, the soldier in front of him has forgotten to tidy himself up for a few days.

"I hope you can get ready as soon as possible, B, there is really not much time left for us. We have been training together for so long, and if anyone has a problem, Ron has already discovered it. What's more, there is still a peace treaty between us and mutants. Losing Without Ron's interference, this treaty will continue to work. I would rather use all my strength to resist powerful enemies than to prepare for the next attack at any time."

"Then you are a fool." Bruce said without thinking, "Look at these people, think about the people who will join us in the future. Thieves, mercenaries, human weapons, they may fall in unexpected directions at any time."

"I don't like swinging knives at my own people, but if I have to, I will," Freya said, with sadness clenched in her stomach, "but I won't set a guard against betrayals that haven't happened yet. Distance. You can't face them all alone, B, we are facing a strong enemy, a moment of hesitation, a moment, is enough to kill you. I really don't want to see that happen."

Bruce's eyes softened a little.

"You must at least trust the members of the alliance." Freya continued to press, "Tell me that you will call on us for help when necessary, just like we depend on your wisdom and courage."

Batman looked away under her gaze.

An imperceptible nod.

But Freya knew he didn't intend to do that.

"Your people, can you contact them?" Bruce asked after a moment.

"I can't." Freya let go of that topic, determined to keep an eye on him in the upcoming battle, "When I leave from the path of impartiality, I deviate from it to some extent." Their teachings and their attitude of intervening in disputes may even cause trouble for the entire race. People of other races may no longer trust the neutrality of the House of Elders. If it is just me, I can bear this responsibility when potential conflicts occur in the future .I'm too self-willed to drag the entire planet into war."

"Willful?" Bruce said half-jokingly, "Did you know that Dragon Girl has been ranked in the top five in superhero approval ratings on social networks for three consecutive weeks?"

"I haven't looked at my phone for a long time, B." Freya rolled her eyes, "But I can guess this ranking without looking at my phone. The first is either Superman or Captain?"

"Last week's No.1 was Spider-Man." Bruce shrugged.

Freya was a little surprised, but she quickly smiled.

"Spider-Man is pretty good," she said. "He's still so young, and he could be another banner for the Avengers in the future."

"Yeah," Bruce said, "he's still so young. He shouldn't have to deal with this. I don't know how many kids his age will survive the fight."

Freya was silent.

"Suddenly we're going to face powerful enemies we've never heard of before, and suddenly evil is emerging from every corner of the planet before, and suddenly every villain in the depths of the universe has their sights on Our world. Not to mention the kids who were young, I never thought I'd have to deal with this craziness at this age," Bruce said.

He shook his head mockingly.

"Honestly I'm starting to miss the days when the biggest obsessions were Penguin Umbrella and Joker Solitaire."

"It's really hard to lock you up on the watchtower for a few days without night patrols, isn't it?" Freya finally opened her mouth, "I know you sneak down to patrol every night, and you also turn on the satellite surveillance system during the day. Against Gotham, it kind of creeps me out."

"I can't just leave some kids wandering around Gotham alone," Bruce said.

"Watchtower can't lose your dispatch these days," Freya smiled, "Thinking about it, at least you won't lose your job, and Superman's boss bombards his phone with reprimanding text messages every day."

Bruce snorted.

"Okay, don't be a child," Freya said. "Come on, let's stop standing here. Would you like something to drink? The watchtower's wine cellar is filled with The wine that Strange brought from different dimensions has a unique taste, and the wizard's wine is also unique."

"There are better wines in the manor." Bruce complained, but he still kept pace with the golden dragon going downstairs, "It's a pity that some of them are out of print, unless 'Brucie' is really crazy, otherwise he won't drink wine." Maybe take these treasures to the watchtower. The wizard's wine tastes like soap, Strange makes all kinds of weird drinks, and the wine from the mutants is so soft that grandma can't drink it, and Tony this You cheapskate, I wish I could just go in and out."

"Don't act like a spoiled little boy, B," Freya said softly, "it's just the booze, booze won't kill you."

They descended into the lounge off the third-floor bedrooms, carrying bottles of various colors from the wine cellar.

The first thing to be unsealed is the [-]-degree Argentine red wine, which has a lot of stamina, and the strong spirit slides down the throat in a soft taste package, and then rises hotly from the stomach pouch.Completely relaxed, Freya leaned back in the armchair, comfortably watching the flames dancing in the simulated fireplace.The Gotham Knight was sitting opposite her. After turning on the security system with the highest authority, he took off his mask, revealing a slightly tired face afterwards.

The galaxy reflected in his eyes, bright and vast.

They clink glasses.

"What's that like?" Bruce asked suddenly after the red wine moistened his lips, "Flying?"

He was looking at the starry sky outside the window. In the distance, Clark and Ron floated quietly, looking at the planet below them.

Freya's fingertips stroked the round rim of the glass.

"Freedom," she said, "when you fly, you leave all your troubles behind, only the wind blowing across your cheeks, only the earth retreating rapidly under your feet, and only the endless sky before you. Air Through the gaps in the scales and feathers of my wings, there is a slight sound, the impact is transmitted from the feathers to the bones, and then into my body. Sometimes, when I fly at full speed, I just want to keep flying like this without stopping .”

Bruce listened to her words.

"Flying in the depths of the universe is another matter," Freya continued. "I was almost caught in the gravitational vortex of a blue star when I flew past it. The living planet looks beautiful and peaceful, but it hides the risk of causing visitors to crash. Gravity is an annoying thing. The bigger the body, the harder it is to escape the shackles of gravity. This is what I learned in Oa Star first lesson."

"Wonderful." Bruce said, "Before I came into contact with you, I never knew there was such a mystery in deep space."

"The universe is too big, and there are too many civilizations." Jin Long said, "There are countless fragments left by civilizations on my planet, and all the traces are well preserved in the universe library, where the knowledge is endless."

"Sounds good." Bruce nodded, taking another sip of the red wine.

"Datan is a planet with a red main body, shining under the blue light of the highest star. I learned how to fly there and everything I need to survive." Freya said reminiscently, "If you want to try flying Feel, next time I can fly with you."

"Maybe I would have been adventurous when I was younger."

Bruce looked at her cautiously, as if judging the true meaning of the sentence, but there was a slight curve on his lips.

Clark and Ron in the distance have disappeared, only the stars are still twinkling outside the window.

I don't know which glass of wine it was, but when Freya was in the dark, there was a little bit of gold in her brown eyes.

Bruce seemed to be hesitating, but he finally put his palm on the table.

"What is it?" Freya blinked.

"A little trick," Bruce said.

He moved his palm away, leaving a white halo on the dark table.

Under the curious staring of the golden dragon, this ball of white light floated into the air like a feather blown by the wind, and turned into a silver bird.Its little paws curled up, its wings flapped, and it flew deftly and happily through the air.

Then it starts singing.It was a singing voice that could not be caught by the ears, like an emotional and soothing song that hit the depths of the soul and floated up from the deepest, deepest place.

Like warm sunlight, like soft tentacles, the singing voice fills the entire void and fills every cell.It is the water vapor that reflects the brilliance when the breeze blows, it is a flickering lamp in the dark night held by both hands, it is pure white, it is multicolored, it is all the colors hidden behind the notes, humming, bouncing, and jumping in the reverberation , dance.

The ground from the sky cover to the feet is all dark night, only the starlight coming from afar, only the little bird.

After it sang the first and last song, it scattered on the palm stretched out by the golden dragon at some point.

Bruce watched her intently, strangely calm.

"I thought you didn't like magic." Freya said softly.

"I don't like people using magic on me."

There are lines of laughter in the corners of Bruce's eyes, and he makes a joke.

Some silvery feathers must have fallen into the dragon's chest just now, and a brisk throbbing silently burned there.

But she remained calm, only slowly, slowly, something warm and deep floated up in those golden eyes.

Bruce let out a short laugh.

"Come on." He said, "I need to sleep well today, Stark has located where Ultron is, and there is still a tough battle to fight tomorrow."
