Anti-Hero Lola [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Gotham.Wayne Group headquarters.

Bruce Wayne, who didn't necessarily come from this company all year round, appeared in his office for the first time.

Although it was already three o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived.

He came here to welcome Lex Luthor who came to investigate—in order to prevent this trouble maker from causing any major troubles in Gotham, he had to agree to follow Lex throughout the "investigation" period.

That must be a nightmare.

Of course, the two presidents have done a good job of saving face.

Needless to say Luthor's hypocrisy, even Bruce, who often makes newspaper headlines because of his outrageous behavior, as long as he wears his suit neatly and doesn't put his arms around the waist of a supermodel, he will be criticized by countless media. Compliment the personable.

After some pleasantries that both of them found unbearable, Bruce stepped aside for Gotham's current mayor.

He watched the groveling of the mayor with cold eyes.

Due to the particularity of the whole city, Gotham is difficult to be controlled by any politician, which leads to the intricate distribution of forces in the whole city. The major leaders do not obey anyone, and everyone has a higher-level background behind them.

But Luthor still has ways to expand his influence.

Bruce didn't know what his intentions were when he came here this time. Luthor is not a person who would take risks alone. If he decided to come to Gotham himself, there must be something that attracted his attention and made him think it was worth the risk .

—he would find out what attracted Luther.

As for the slippery red hood, Batman thought, leave it to Tim for now.

He has a great relationship with Barbara, and Birds of Prey shouldn't mind giving him some help.

However, the facts were completely opposite to what he had guessed.

When Tim tries to get help from his big sister who has always been everything to him, Barbara refuses him without hesitation.

"Sorry, Red Robin," she said, "I...can't tell you about the Red Hood."

"why?"

Tim's first reaction was that the oracle was threatened, his second reaction was that the Birds of Prey had already fought against that fierce Red Hood and was injured by him, and his first reaction was whether he should report to Batman.

He heard the oracle say: "I think you should settle the matter between you yourself."

Tim: "...what?"

He quickly reacted: "Red Hood and you are old acquaintances?"

Red Hood was once a nickname used by the Joker, and Tim immediately thought of the Joker.

But if the clown successfully escapes from prison, the whole Gotham will be disturbed, and it is impossible for them not to hear the news.

"He is my old acquaintance, and also yours." The oracle paused, "After he returned to Gotham, I... provided him with a little help."

This time Tim was really surprised: "You helped him? Really Barbara? He has killed nearly a hundred people since he showed up!"

"In any case, we as vigilantes shouldn't get too involved—I'm not going to excuse him, but the people he killed deserved it," Barbara said. "I think he knew very well what he was doing. What. To be honest, he’s a million times better than I thought he was. He’s calm, Tim, and if you know who he is and what he’s been through, he’s very calm now.”

But the bad thing is that Jason is too calm now.

He killed people not out of tyrannical revenge, let alone because he was too restless and needed to vent.

He killed people in order to carry out his ideas. He had already determined that "only doing so would help the status quo of Gotham", so he would kill people.

If Jason went astray because of his exuberant desire for revenge, there might still be a chance of redemption, but if Jason is determined to use this method to announce his return, he must use this method. Way to revenge, Barbara does not know how things will develop in the end.

She didn't even understand why it happened like this.

Tim quickly grasped the point—this person was not only an old acquaintance of Barbara's, but also his.

"Does Batman know the Red Hood?" he asked.

"..." Barbara didn't respond.

She couldn't remind it more clearly, she had said enough, so much that every word weighed heavily on her heart, and every word turned into long and thin needles, densely pressed against her skin superior.

It wasn't painful, but it made her feel cold.

Tim already understood: "Thank you, Barbara, anyway."

"You're welcome."

Barbara hung up the call.

Not long ago, in front of Jason, she personally leaked information related to the true identity of the "Red Hood". She thought that Red Robin would quickly find out who the Red Hood was, but it seemed that after that, Red Robin I was stumped by the matter of Carmen.

After his return, he resumed investigating the identity of the Red Hood, but it was too late—no answer.

Barbara had the illusion that Tim seemed to have guessed something and, like her, was trying to avoid certain contradictions.

Time can indeed soften contradictions.

But will Jason change?

No, Jason has changed.

So...will Batman change?

While Barbara was pondering, frowning and thinking about it, someone knocked on her door.

Barbara quickly became alert.

The level of secrecy of this safe house cannot be considered higher, but its location is still beyond the reach of ordinary Xiaoxiao.Even if he traced its location, he might not be able to walk to the door safely under her heavy arrangements.

What's more, since the door of this safe house is completely hidden behind an entire wall of a residential building, it is necessary to let the knock on the door pass through the thick wall to reach her ears if the wall is not damaged. Side - it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

And the knock sounded so regular, restrained, and courteous.

Nor would Barbara be surprised if, when the door was opened, some handsome gentleman stood outside.

She immediately called up the surveillance video at the door.

The person who knocked on the door happened to be in the best position, so that his entire body was exposed to the camera.

It was Carmen—or rather, Laura.

She is a little girl who loves to wear skirts, but instead of a skirt this time, she wore a white crop top and wide-leg pants that were big enough to be considered a dress.

The visual effect of this kind of wide-leg pants is almost the same as wearing a skirt, but Barbara still recognized its essence as wide-leg pants at a glance.

"Hi!" Laura turned her body on tiptoe, then enthusiastically waved at the camera—two hands, "Hello!"

Barbara's mind quickly filtered through a series of questions such as "how does she know about this", "how does she know about me", "why is she in Gotham", and then freezes on "what is she here for?" superior?

"I know you can hear me," said Lola cheerfully, "if you don't want me in, I can hear you talking inside!"

She thought for a moment, then added, "I can see you, too!" Instead of looking directly at the camera, she turned to Barbara and winked at Barbara across a wall.

Barbara paused as she tried to turn on the loudspeaker, and then she said, "Hello, Carmen, now do as I say—"

Laura went upstairs according to Barbara's knowledge, and then went downstairs from another direction. After passing through a series of twists and turns, a small door that looked ordinary opened. Barbara in the wheelchair looked at Laura, as if she wanted to say something.

In the end she just showed a very shallow smile.

"Although you already know who I am, I'd be happy to introduce myself." She stepped aside and motioned Lola to come in. "My name is Barbara. Barbara Gordon."

"Laura," Laura answered her. "It's just Laura."

"But I hear you use Carmen Clark as your real name."

"I also like it when people call me Carmen Clark. The name is a combination of CC, it will sound very special." Laura said, "But I prefer 'Laura'."

"Can I know why?"

"Because a voice called me that before I was born." Laura replied, "That's my name."

Barbara thought for a moment. "Sorry, maybe the question was a bit rude, but your answer sounded religious."

"I'm a man of faith," Laura said solemnly, "but I don't believe in God."

She walked into the room nimbly, her pointed high heels looming under the wide trousers that covered the instep.Barbara noticed that Laura didn't make a sound as she stepped, and that she stood in the very center of the room, looking around with interest, without being overdone.

It's very rude.

But when she tilts her head happily, blinks her eyes and smiles at you, who can smile back unconsciously, facing that delicate face and those green eyes like spring buds?

Barbara froze after instinctively showing a big sister smile.

It's over, and Laura left with the rhythm.

But Barbara didn't feel Laura's rhythm at all before showing this smile.Everything about Laura was very natural, except for her abrupt behavior of running over and knocking on the door, her behavior was considered very well-behaved, even if she was misled by Barbara and went around several times, she was not angry.

No, it's not so much that Lola directs the rhythm as she is the act of speaking completely at will.

She seems to be completely used to being the center and focus of sight, and she is confident that people will change her actions and emotions at any time, so her emotions are so natural, clean and refreshing like spring water, and so exposed —No trace of exaggeration or pretense.

"You can call me Barbara," Barbara said, turning the wheelchair and moving to Laura. "Nice to meet you, Laura."

"Are you really happy?" Laura sat on the sofa, raised her head, and stared at Barbara with interest.

Barbara was taken aback, and then said, "I'm really happy."

Laura smiled: "Why are you happy?"

"For what you did for Jason," Barbara said.

"Oh," said Lola, sitting back on the sofa, "this—"

She smiled very calmly, and then said lightly: "Although I can understand your feelings, it's not your turn to thank you for this matter."
