Anti-Hero Lola [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Hidden behind the thick walls is a modest room.

It was decorated in a rather... homely way.

If I had to describe it specifically, the small room was cozy.

Whether it's the soft, somewhat old beige sofa, or the pure wooden table top, or a few small flowers scattered in the open vase - everything is so ordinary, so ordinary, very much like you A passerby who sees countless times on the street every day but can't remember the other person's face once.

However, the person living in this room is not a passer-by, on the contrary, she has all the qualities that make people remember her life:

That blazing, razor-thin, razor-sharp beauty.

"She also has red hair and green eyes." Laura said, looking at the woman who was sitting at the dining table holding a cup of coffee in a daze, and said, "Is this a one-way observation wall? Oh, it's disgusting, these people .”

Before Artemis could react, or Batman make a sound, Lola punched him decisively.

When the fist was about to touch the surface of the wall, the woman who was sitting in a daze suddenly turned her head.

Her eyes met Laura's precisely.

——Lola punched through the wall.

When she retracted her hand, a hole was left on the wall, and Laura inserted the palms of both hands into the fist-sized hole, and began to dig out, dig out, dig out...

"What are you doing?" Artemis found her behavior puzzling.

"This wall is made of special materials. Exploding a large area will lead to uncontrollable consequences, and the entire basement may be destroyed." Batman said, "What she took is the best method."

But the force required to excavate a small area in a special material of this hardness...

He didn't say much, but silently raised his evaluation of Laura in his heart.

While they were talking, Laura had already dug out a small hole in the wall that could barely accommodate one person, and she was lying on the hole and looking in.

"Hello?" Laura said, "Did you see me?"

"It's not 'seeing'." A female voice answered her question, "it's 'feeling'."

"Okay." Laura said again, "Then come out quickly!"

The woman locked in this underground laboratory looked puzzled and vigilant, she hesitated for a moment, and slowly walked towards Lola.

Laura took two steps back to get out of the big hole.

She looked at Lola, bent down, and got out of the hole.

Laura watched her movements intently: "Although the situation is a bit different, you remind me of when I just came out."

Batman watched Lola's back thoughtfully.

"Who are you?" the woman asked.

"Carmen. This is my code name. I'm a mercenary, a novice." Laura happily announced her name, "What about you?"

The woman looked sideways at Laura.

"Your hair is also red, and your eyes are also green, what a coincidence." Laura cupped her face and looked at her, "But your hair is a little darker than mine, and your eyes are a little darker than mine... Will my hair and eyes become like yours in the future?"

The woman just smiled: "Probably not. My hair and eyes have always been like this."

"That's it." Satisfied, Laura said, "Then let's go!"

Batman seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.

A group of people left the underground laboratory silently and quickly. Lola and Artemis walked in front, followed by the rescued woman, and Batman was at the end, watching quietly and quietly. rescued woman.

He has not given up hope of thoroughly investigating the hotel incident.

Under normal circumstances, the longer a case drags on, the harder it is to find the truth. Many old cases are buried in this way-but in Gotham, this law is not useful.

People say that in Gotham, no one can wash their hands and go ashore.

Even if your mistake is something as small as stealing.

Every day, this city is preparing to become a carnival place for the mentally ill. No one can change his mind after falling once; not to mention that the mysterious force committed such a big case, the little half brother Tan on the Upper East Side reshuffles after a party.

It is no exaggeration to say that the whole of Gotham is looking for the suspect who committed the big crime.

He or she will be a rising crime star in Gotham City!

At this time, anyone who suddenly appears may become the target of the old forces in Gotham, and Carmen is undoubtedly the most eye-catching one: whether it is her clothing color matching or her acting style, as well as her obviously different psychology state……

Red Robin's voice interrupted Batman's thoughts.

"The identity of that mysterious woman has been found, Wanda Django Maximoff, code-named Scarlet Witch, is said to be one of the most powerful man-made mutants in existence," Red Robin tapped on the keyboard, "Her The mutant ability is Chaos Magic—it should be different from Zatanna's magic, because she doesn't need to learn or chant spells, and she can complete the casting process with just a few gestures..."

"Be careful, Batman, the data shows that her emotions are extremely unstable due to long-term experiments. Whenever her emotions lose control, her abilities will also lose control... She has caused a large number of casualties, and the most serious one was to deprive the lives of the entire laboratory people... ..."

"She also has a twin brother, Pietro, code-named Quicksilver, whose ability is super speed—a bit like The Flash, but the source of their abilities is not the same—the data shows that when she and her brother stayed in Together, the chances of getting emotionally out of control is reduced to almost zero."

"Wow," Red Robin sighed, "I'd lock her up with his brother if it were me. Did you see Quicksilver, Batman?"

"No."

"Then you have to be careful, this woman is a completely unstable super bomb." Red Robin's tone was very relaxed, "Her chaos magic has no weakness, at least it has been so many years of experiments It shows. Chaotic emotions are her only weakness."

"receive."

Laura kicked open the closed gate of the abandoned subway entrance arrogantly, and then swaggered out from the main entrance.

Artemis did not express any opinion on this, this simple and rude behavior style was exactly in line with her intentions.

On the contrary, the rescued woman was a little maladapted to their approach. She looked at the crooked door in surprise, and then turned her head to look at Batman.

"We're not together," Batman said coldly.

"I know," Wanda said, "I just wanted to say, if I'm going to leave Gotham..."

"Please."

"You're better at talking than the rumors say."

"What do the rumors say about him?" Laura asked.

Wanda looks up with Batman.

A beam of light from the thin, pale street lamp fell from above, and slowly faded away in the distance, illuminating the corner of the abandoned subway entrance.

Laura squatted in this beam of light.

——She is always willing to stand in such a bright place.

She hugged the large hem of the windbreaker in her arms seriously, and then she folded her arms on the thick layer of fabric, and rested her chin on her arms.

"What do the rumors say?" Laura asked again.

"It is said that Batman has a bad temper and is domineering, and everyone who is targeted by her will be arrested by him and sent to Arkham Mental Hospital sooner or later." Wanda smiled, "There are also some boring rumors that Batman can eat food. Dropping the toes of every little kid who doesn't go to bed in time at night."

"Why the toes? Don't fingers taste good?"

"Batman doesn't actually eat their toes or fingers...I don't know," Wanda said. "Maybe they think that sounds scarier?"

"They don't seem to be very afraid of you, Batman," said Red Robin, "though I don't think it's too surprising. Women aren't very afraid of you."

Batman walked up to the subway entrance without a word.

He stood still in front of Laura, his tall body cast a large and wide shadow.

"You killed all the pursuers?" he asked bluntly.

"Yes." Laura also answered bluntly.

"why?"

"They want to kill me." Laura said quite naturally, "I can't stand still and let them kill me, can I?"

"There can be other solutions."

"That's true," Laura admitted, but then she said, "But it's not necessary. Why should I feel pity for a group of people who want to kill me? Are you willing to do it-that's your own business .”

Batman was silent for a moment.

He must be thinking about what to do with me, Laura thought.

"You can't beat me, don't worry about it." Laura said, "Only one of you can hurt me, and it's just that you can definitely hurt me, not necessarily catch me or kill me."

Wanda stood aside silently, her eyes flickered when she heard Laura's words.

"...this is Gotham," Batman said dryly, "be careful what you say and do."

"Don't worry, I don't come to Gotham much," Lola said. "I've moved—I moved to New York! What a place! The weather is great! The pizza is delicious!"

Batman stared down at Lola, and after a few seconds he said, "Remember your promise."

The Batmobile came to a silent stop beside him, he got into the car and drove away.

Laura was still squatting in place.

"...I thought I could see him whizzing a rope out of his hand and hanging it on the wall, and then swishing away." Laura said with some disappointment, "He actually drove away—how much It's boring."

"Can you drive?" Artemis asked coolly.

"...I have a driver's license."

"Have a driver's license but can't drive."

"...What's going on with you today?" Laura changed the subject, "Why are those people staring at you?"

"I am much more famous than you," Artemis said casually, "and I have much more enemies than you, so much that I don't even bother to remember who they are."

Laura accepted this answer.

She stood up, loosened the hem of her cloak, and sighed as she flapped the garment to make it look more crisp:

"I think my career is not going very well. You see, I've only had a few assignments, so many accidents, and every time I come to Gotham, I meet Batman...I think he's after me. "

Obviously at the beginning, she still tried very hard to meet Batman, and even planned a big event to attract Batman's attention.

She did meet Batman as she wished.

But that was purely coincidental.

And the person she saw was not strictly speaking Batman, not exactly Batman.

What she saw was Batman's identity after taking off his mask.

"How rare." Artemis said, "It's like other mercenaries who come to Gotham won't keep an eye on them. If you want to know, almost every outsider who is active in Gotham will be warned by him, you No exception."

Nonsense, Laura thought, of course she was an exception.

"...I quite like him." She whispered, and then explained, "I don't mean the way he always shows, I mean the other way he hides: gentle, considerate, smart It's fun again."

She thought about the first time she met Bruce and the one who took her to the opera.

Batman sucks.

But Bruce is a very good person, he is so gentle and sincere and careful, the way he looks at her and the way he treats her is so loving... It's just too verbose and annoying.

But Batman is annoyingly annoying, and he's annoying like a nagging old father.

She liked Bruce a lot.

——But I don’t like it that much.
