Anti-Hero Lola [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

If that soft kiss had had any effect on Jess's life—she wouldn't admit it.

But no one would ask her that question either, because the next day, the boy who took the girl's name and called himself "Lola" disappeared into Gotham, as silently as he had come.

A lot of things happened next. Jess moved out of Crime Alley, but not Gotham. She managed to get the qualifications for admission and started studying, although occasionally she would wander restlessly in the alleys of Gotham, as if In this way, she can recall the days when she was struggling to survive.

Gotham people, especially Gotham people from humble backgrounds and suffering from poverty, have a wolfishness in their bones.They know very well that everything they have is bought back with strength and blood. Even prostitutes must rely on gunpoint to snatch back their due rewards from despicable prostitutes.

Jess doesn't hate her past life, that precarious experience has exercised her brain and will well, and there is no doubt that she has considerable talent in combat.

Lola had praised her, praised Jess for her dexterity and strength.

—Jess was willing to acknowledge the boy's influence on her when no one was around.

But not that kiss.At least it wasn't just that kiss, that touch-off kiss that smelled like fried chicken, coke, egg tarts, and donuts was even the part that affected her the least.

What really affected her was the money Lola had left behind, and the way he'd made the journey all the way across the ocean and into Europe to finally deliver that wealth to her.

What he does is not hard for him, his demeanor and the details of every conversation say so.

But she couldn't forget his smiling face when he casually talked about those things, and his warm eyes when he tilted his head and stared at her thoughtfully.

Then, one day, on a very ordinary Gotham morning, Jess, still out and about, sees the Batmobile again.

It stopped on the side of the road, like a monster sleeping soundly on the ground.

A very expensive and readily available behemoth.

Jess stopped in her tracks.

At this moment, many thoughts flashed through her mind. This thing is very valuable. Although it is impossible to remove its parts, it will not be difficult to remove a few tires. By the way, the shape of this car looks similar to the previous one There have been a lot of changes this time, is Batman updating the Batmobile again?I don't know how the bat that was replaced was handled, maybe it was dismantled and reinstalled by Batman... maybe this brand new Batmobile is composed of parts from the previous Batmobile.

A twitch flickered in Jess's head, an impulse pumped through her veins.

The feeling lifted her spirits.

After staying in school for too long, sometimes Jess would have the illusion that she was not born in Crime Alley, nor had she ever been a gangster. The easy life was like a sweet and slow poison. Her nerves were eroded. , but now, those things that were sleeping deep inside were awakened again.

After hiding in the dark for a long time, carefully observing the surrounding environment, and confirming that Batman is not nearby, Jess gritted her teeth, quickly took out some necessary small tools from her waist, and cautiously approached the Batmobile .

Well, the tire part has indeed been upgraded and modified. Now it takes a lot of effort to remove the tires of the Batmobile...but it is not impossible, but the requirements for tools are more stringent...that is, the interior I don't know if the structure has been upgraded. For example, if someone violently disassembles it, it will send an alarm to Batman or something.

Even if the alarm is sent, it's okay, even Batman will take some time to get here, and when he arrives, even if she can't get any little things from this expensive luxury car in exchange for money, Can escape from the hands of Batman.

It's just that it's not easy to escape from Batman's pursuit afterwards.

But who cares!Do this vote first and then consider!

Jess rubbed her hands excitedly and crouched down in front of the Batmobile.

Above her head, which she couldn't see, the window slowly lowered.

Batman lowered his head, silently watching the girl who was excitedly and engrossed in trying to open the lock,

He didn't do anything, just looked at it.

After switching to several tools and trying different methods to open the clasp, Jess, who couldn't get it done anyway, was so angry that she forgot to keep observing her surroundings.She angrily burst out a series of cursing and swearing, and decided to take a break for a while and check the surrounding situation, when she moved her shoulder blades and stood up from the front of the tire——

He met Batman's eyes.

Jess: "..."

Batman: "..."

Jess did something she would regret for a lifetime in the future.

She raised her hand stupidly, waved at Batman, and said hesitantly, "...Hi?"

Batman: "..."

Jess finally realized that she might have been trying to remove Batman's tire just now under the watchful eyes of Batman, and what stupid thing she had done when she was hit by the owner just now—she decisively dropped the car tire in her hand. He smashed the wrench into the hand of Batman who was still sitting in the car, turned around and ran away!

Maybe Batman is really good at tracking, but anyway, he has been sitting in the car, this behavior is really arrogant!Jess can't say what chances she has when Batman is chasing at full speed, but even Batman will know that she is definitely not someone to mess with!

Don't underestimate her familiarity with the surrounding environment!With any luck, even Bat... Man... also...

Jess suddenly felt a pain in her back, as if she had been hit by something.

She staggered, and all the strength in her body slowly fell to the ground following this stagger.

Damn...she forgot that Batman...can use...bats...darts...

She fell heavily, but instead of hitting the ground with her face, she fell into someone's arms.

"Robin," said Jess, "I'm going to be the new Robin!"

"But you're a girl," Bruce said, "won't you consider being the new Batgirl?"

"Only boys can be Robin?" Jess retorted, "Why? I just want to be Robin!"

"Okay." Bruce knew Jess's stubbornness well, and knew that it would be no good to argue with her on this matter, "You can be Robin."

"Lola." Lex said, "You haven't completed the task I assigned you."

His voice was cold and arrogant, but the slightly drawn-out tone made the words reveal evil intentions.Anyone who hears this can clearly sense that the speaker is angry and not prepared to hold back.

However, Laura just lazily raised her eyes in the direction of Lex, then lowered her head again, and put her eyes on the tablet computer.

"After half a year, Robin came back out of the arena?!"

He concentrated on watching the news for a while, clicked on the picture, zoomed in, and zoomed in again until the part of the picture that belonged to Batman completely disappeared, and Robin beside him occupied the entire screen.

"Laura." Lex said with emphasis.

"I don't want to do those tasks." Laura threw the tablet in her hand onto the sofa. "The tasks you give me are always troublesome and annoying! I don't want to do them! I want to go out and play!"

Instead, Lex's voice calmed down following Lola's complaints and dissatisfaction. When he spoke again, his tone was comforting: "As long as you complete the task seriously, you can go out to play."

"You lied to me." Laura was very disdainful. "After this task, there will always be another task. After completing the other task, there will be another task... Wow, you are exploiting child labor!"

"That's just a father's test for his son," Lex said.

He approached Laura, glanced at the enlarged image on the tablet, and suddenly asked, "Do you like her?"

Laura didn't deny it: "She's cute."

"If you finish the task I gave you well..."

"I don't." Lola's voice overwhelmed Lex's, "I don't! I don't I don't I don't! I want to hang out!"

"..."

Laura stared at Lex angrily.

Lex sighed.

"Go," his tone became cold again, "in principle, I need to know your specific movements, but I have not restricted your personal freedom, if you want to go out to play - yes, but my patience There is a limit."

Lola blinked, realized she was allowed, and brightened up again, slamming into Lex's arms, giving him an unexpected hug.

"Thank you, Dad! Kiss!" He kissed Lex's face indiscriminately.

Lex: "...Enough, enough!" He pushed Laura away, frowning and straightened his chest and neckline.

While he was doing this, Lola had rushed into the room and changed.He bounced across the living room, blew a kiss to Lex, and flew out the window.

Jess would have thought she had forgotten about Laura.

Although this kind of thing can't really happen.

The memory of Gotham people can allow two modes at the same time, one is forgetful and the other is engraving.Which mode to call depends on how important the other party is in their hearts.

How important is Lola to Jess?

He's absolutely important, because he's the one who helped Jess successfully steal the Batmobile's tires and turn them into money, taking Jess away from the life she once was.

But from another point of view, he is not important-he is like a passer-by who suddenly broke into a certain life, changing the direction of the whole life with an unreasonable attitude.

If Jess's life were written as a story, the part that belonged to Lola would be ridiculed by the reader: rote and illogical, as funny as a cartoon character popping into a horror story.

The way Jess finally chose to deal with it was to put aside those memories that belonged to Lola.

For her, "Lola" is more like a familiar label.

At the beginning, every time she spent money, she would remember that Laura had helped her get the money; gradually, this idea sank to the depths, and it only surfaced in some occasional dreams; , the emotions and experiences represented by this name have become extremely thin, maybe after a while, even if Laura really appeared in front of her, she would not take it seriously anymore.

... Can it really be ignored?

"What are you doing?" someone asked aloud.

Jess turned her head sharply.

Laura leaned against the wall and tilted her head to look at her, with a lollipop in her mouth.Seeing Jess look over, he took the lollipop out of his mouth and waved it in the direction of Jess.

Long time no see... He has grown taller and stronger than her.The thin long-sleeved T-shirt can't hide his beautiful muscles at all-why the hell is this guy so beautiful even with muscles?

He was wearing a pure white top, his hair was still long, and he had a messy bun on his head at the time—it was a real mess, not a deliberate shape, and he was wearing a pair of fancy green pants, which seemed to be under the pants The top has every color in the green family, and when it comes to the feet, his socks are white again, but the shoes are a very exaggerated golden red, which is shining even in Gotham.

This outfit...Jess really doesn't know how to judge it.

She stopped in place, but did not respond to Laura's movements. Seeing her like this, Laura's waving movements became bigger and more exaggerated.

There is a kind of bright and frivolous in his movements, it is difficult to describe in detail, if he has to say, his behavior is too exaggerated and dramatic, ordinary people would not do this in ordinary life, and of course they would not dress like this , or even if it is done, it will look ridiculous to wear it like this.

But Laura won't.

Jess walked towards Laura before realizing what she was really doing, which undoubtedly drove away many girls or boys who wanted to approach Laura because she was single (after all, such exaggerated behavior and clothes are always More on gay).

Seeing her approaching, Laura's smile became brighter, and the closer she got to him, the more Jess felt irresistible.

The last time we met was three years ago. At that time, she already felt that Laura's beauty was really shocking, but at the time she thought it was because Laura's puberty hadn't arrived yet, and it wouldn't be so when he developed. Pretty—but now Jess knew that was definitely just wishful thinking on her part.

Gilt red hair, clear green eyes, fine facial contours did harden and manly with age, but his features were still extremely beautiful.

And his cheeks were too plump for a boy.

He was still smiling at Jess, the boy who was already pretty, but when he smiled again, it was so sweet that it was unbearable.

Jess wanted to be angry, but when she stood in front of Laura, who looked down at her intently, with two clear green eyes, the anger suddenly disappeared.

"What are you doing here?" she asked dryly.

"I'm here to play with you." Lola shook her shoulders and said in a singing voice, "Come and play~ come and play~"

"Is everything just fun to you?" Jess said. "What if you get tired of it?"

"The question you're asking is too advanced." Laura stopped the movement of her shoulders, opened her eyes wide, and looked at Jess in surprise—another exaggerated action full of drama, "shall we hang out together? ?”

"I think girls are different in this kind of thing, which is very important to me." Jess said, "I don't like to date casually, and I certainly don't promise to date casually." boy."

"I think you are embarrassing me," Laura slumped her shoulders in frustration, "Why are you embarrassing a cute boy like this?"

"Why haven't you come to me for so long?" Jess snorted, "You are a person who disappeared for three years after showing up once. You have a precedent."

"But... But the first date is a free relationship." Laura said seriously, "According to the unspoken rules recognized by most people, you need to date at least three times before you need to consider whether to develop a fixed relationship. Before that, at the same time It’s okay to date a lot of people.”

That being said, it's true, and it's true that dating before a relationship can be terminated at any time.

"Who else are you dating?" Jess stared at Lola.

"I'm too busy to date other people." Laura curled her lips, "My dad is a perverted stalker with an explosive desire for control. Just fighting wits with him is already exhausting."

Thinking about Bruce, Jess subtly felt the sincerity of Lola's helplessness.

She sighed and said, "Okay, you've passed."

"I brought you a present," Laura said again, putting the lollipop back in his mouth and reaching into his trouser pocket.

After digging for a long time, nothing came out.

Oops, he thought, maybe it accidentally fell out while flying.

Jess waited for a while but didn't get it, and she knew what happened by seeing Laura's expression.Instead of feeling disappointed or impatient, she laughed with interest, wondering how Laura would deal with this situation.

Don't try to trick her into getting closer with an empty fist.

She wouldn't fall for the same trick twice.

Laura sighed with candy in her mouth: "I accidentally lost the gift for you."

"Wow," Jess began to think about the words to mock Laura, "I..."

Laura took out the lollipop from her mouth, and put the candy in Jess's mouth the moment she opened her mouth to speak.

Jess suddenly sweetened her tongue: "..." She was stunned for a while, but she didn't expect to react, but her tongue had subconsciously curled up on the hard candy.

"Honey," said Lola.

"..."

Candy was soggy.It still has temperature.

Jess finally figured out what to say. She deliberately ignored the sweetness of the candy and told Laura loudly: "If you think you can give me your candy..."

Laura raised her hand again and took the candy from Jess's mouth, saying, "It's not for you. It's just for you to lick."

He stared into Jess's eyes and put the candy back into his mouth with a smirk.

Jess: "..."

She was speechless and blushed.

"You..." She finally choked out a sentence, "You...a cheapskate!"

"Hahahahahaha is that all you can say?" Laura laughed, "Wow, you are too... Are you really born in Crime Alley?"

Jess snorted forcefully, raised her hand and grabbed the lollipop and pulled it out, but only pulled out an empty stick, the candy had already been crushed by Laura and held in her mouth.

He tilted his head to look at Jess with a half-smile, and Jess felt his brain rumbling because he was so mad at Laura for his naturally aggressive temper.

By the time she realized it, she had already bit Laura's lips, sucking viciously.

Laura raised her eyebrows and hugged Jess tightly.
