When you have two sets of superheroes
Chapter 70 Mrs. Wayne
Christmas is coming soon, the school is on holiday, Steve and Bucky take Peter to cut a spruce and bring it back as a Christmas tree.The little spider happily ran up and down to hang Christmas lights and balls on the spruce. Shirley stood underneath and threw the decorative ribbons to him. Peter shot out spider webs and stuck them to the ceiling. Ribbons hang from the top of the Christmas tree.
Shirley glanced around, but there was no one around, so she asked him in a low voice: "Peter, are you still investigating the weapon?"
"No more." Peter said sullenly. Seeing that Shirley didn't believe her, he hurriedly said, "I really didn't intervene anymore. At most, I just collected information and planned to prepare a report for Mr. Stark."
Tony, who was walking from the corridor, heard the end sharply and said, "What are you talking about?"
The little spider almost fell from the ceiling, Shirley said with a natural expression: "Peter met Batman in Gotham, and he said that Iron Man in New York is the best."
"Oh." Tony uttered a single syllable, and although he didn't have too much Stark exaggeration, there was obvious pleasure on his face, "Of course, kid, the dark old bat in Gotham Only Shirley can stand it."
Shirley deftly ignored his words about running on Bruce, and asked, "What about the others?"
"Natasha and Clint went to buy a turkey, Bucky and Steve are working on recipes, and we'll roast a turkey later."
"Roasted turkey..." Shirley was silent for a while, "Isn't it enough to roast it over a fire until it's cooked?"
Forgive her for not having a few Christmases. Even if there is a holiday, it’s just a big meal. She didn’t even buy a Christmas tree. She is rarely so particular about it.
"Yeah, that's what I thought too." Tony immediately showed an exaggerated sigh as if he had found an ally, "But do you know how long that recipe is? There are so many—" He stretched his arms and gestured , "So long!"
Shirley's expression suddenly became subtle, "Steve and Bucky delved into the recipe?"
It's not questioning their IQ, but as soldiers, their requirements for food should be similar to Bruce's, as long as they are cooked and edible.As for things like cooking...
"That..." Peter interjected weakly, "I remember that the turkey seems to have to be cured in advance... I remember that Aunt May marinated it with salt water and pepper for six hours."
This made both Shirley and Tony stunned, and Shirley silently stopped the thought of staring at Steve's cooking skills. Well, in fact, this kind of big dish is not much better for her.
"Then I'll go to Gotham," she said tangled, "I hope Afu will prepare an extra turkey..." Although Afu would have an extra turkey for no reason, Shirley just has a crush on the old housekeeper. With inexplicable confidence, he always knows what the Bat family needs.
Tony rolled his eyes and rubbed her hair angrily, "Go if you want, you don't need to make such excuses."
Shirley also rolled her eyes and waved his hand away, "Wait until I bring the turkey back to save you."
She teleported to Gotham, Bruce was sitting on the couch, and when she saw her, he stood up, and Shirley ran straight to the kitchen: "Afufu!"
Bruce paused and followed up resignedly.
"Miss Shirley." Afu greeted her with a smile. Seeing that Shirley's eyes were fixed on the turkey on the side, his smile deepened a lot, and he said, "I have prepared an extra turkey. , has been marinated, you can take it back and enjoy it with the Avengers."
Shirley cheered: "Thank you, Fu!!"
Bruce leaned against the door with his arms folded and smiled, Shirley hugged Afu before turning around to hug him, Bruce put his arms around her waist, bowed his head and kissed the top of her hair lightly, and said: "It seems that I am not as good as a A turkey?"
"Only on Christmas Eve." Shirley said with a smile.
"Come here at twelve o'clock in the evening, let's go to the night patrol together."
"Huh?" Shirley blinked, "Christmas night patrol, is it a unique way for the Bat family to celebrate?"
"Criminals don't stay home for Christmas after all," Bruce laughed.
"Okay, I'll be there on time." Shirley said, not paying attention to the night patrol invitation, after all, it's not the first time, "Then I'll go back first," her eyes drifted to A Fu, old The housekeeper went to help her get the turkey knowingly, so Shirley added with a smile, "Together with the turkey."
Seeing Shirley let go of him and run towards Afu without hesitation, Bruce hesitated for a second whether to change his name today or just become a turkey.
Shirley lived up to everyone's expectations and returned to the Avengers Building with the marinated turkey and the recipe written by Afu himself, while everyone was sitting in the living room with a fresh turkey in front of them.
Shirley took the turkey out of her backpack and raised her eyebrows proudly, "See what I said?"
Hawkeye heaved a sigh of relief, and leaned back on the backrest, "That's great, I thought I was going to be hungry today."
"How can it be possible to starve you in Stark's territory?" Tony glanced at him with disgust, "It's a big deal to order food from a five-star hotel, and it won't make you, a little bird, drink the northwest wind."
"So..." Shirley sat on the sofa and said with her chin resting, "Now I have brought the ingredients, two chefs," she said to Steve and Bucky, "Is it time for you to shine? gone?"
Afu obviously knows the urination of the Avengers who never cook, and the recipes given are much easier to understand than those on the Internet. They are not the words such as the right amount of sugar and the right amount of salt, but the weight is accurate to a few tenths of a gram.So after four hours, they finally made a successful roast turkey in the oven, but it was obviously not enough for so many people to eat one turkey, so in the end they had to order some food from the hotel eat.
This was the first Christmas Eve after all their members arrived. Little Spider had dinner with Aunt Mei at home, but he came to the Avengers Building at ten o'clock after nine o'clock.At that time, everyone was sitting on the sofa chatting with their stomachs full of food. Tony was obviously in a good mood and generously shared a glass of champagne with Peter.
"If the Hydra came to the door at this time, we probably have to squat down and raise our hands to surrender." Hawkeye murmured, his stomach convulsed a little.
"Yeah, you must be unable to fly, Fat Chirp." Tony stretched comfortably, "No, you were unable to fly in the first place."
"Have you repaired the armor destroyed by Magneto?"
……
A group of people—actually only two or three, including Saul who joined later—began to bicker again. Shirley glanced at the five or six wine bottles on the table, "Are you so indulgent today?" Night watch, so only fruity sparkling cocktails.
"It's a rare occasion." Steve smiled kindly, and poured a glass for himself and Bucky, "It's Christmas Eve after all."
Tony gave Natasha a sneaky look, and the glamorous female agent understood, and went to the cabinet to take out another five bottles.
Shirley glanced at them in disbelief, and said, "Is this really not alcohol poisoning? Clint and Nata, what if you have a special mission?"
"Is Steve drunk?" Bucky patted the chest of his old friend beside him, "And I—" he thought for a while, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said, "Whatever he is, I must die from the raging malaria Africa dies here."
Natasha raised her glass to Shirley and said lazily with a smile: "If Fury dares to assign tasks on Christmas without using Hydra, Clint and I will naturally go to dismantle S.H.I.E.L.D."
Maybe it was the effect of alcohol, they started talking nonsense, Sol was grumbling and complaining, he couldn't understand the aesthetics of Hydra, and felt that their emblem was not imposing at all, on the contrary, the octopus-like pattern It makes people very appetizing.
"Maybe he just wants to use his appetite to motivate his subordinates." Tony said drunkenly, his face was so red that he looked drunk, "Oh, it's too bad... I abandoned my half-developed nanotechnology, It's not to discuss the appetite of Hydra with you..."
Natasha laughed, leaning her elbows on Hawkeye's shoulder, as if she couldn't sit up straight on her own.And Hawkeye also leaned on the back of the sofa to support himself, only knowing to smile foolishly, and Dr. Banner had already gone back to his room to rest due to too much alcohol.
Shirley silently faced the group of drunks in front of her, watched them laughing blankly at something that was not funny at all, and exchanged glances with Peter who was holding champagne, "It's, it's only 11:30, just drink Is it like this?"
Peter scratched his hair and said, "Maybe I'm too happy."
So they left early, and Shirley happened to be approaching the time for night patrol. She simply exercised and prepared, and after adjusting her state, she changed into her uniform and headed to Gotham.
Her foothold has always been Wayne Manor, but today's manor is too quiet, even the headlights are not turned on, only the lights on the decorated Christmas tree in the living room are shining, and the surroundings in the living room The sound of the piano flowing like a spring.
Shirley immediately became vigilant, the faint lights of Christmas lights paired with light music-it's the scene of a bloody horror movie, isn't it? !
"Bruce?"
She called out softly, and two long knives appeared in her hands instantly.
Shirley looked around, she had a feeling of being closely watched, which made her back feel hairy, and she unconsciously clenched the handle of the knife.
Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, is it those bastards in Arkham or Hydra?But even if they attack Wayne Manor, Batman shouldn't be wiped out... By the way, the Batcave—at least the Batcave will be fine anyway, maybe she should—
At this moment, her ears keenly caught a sound, Xue Li narrowed her eyes, and said coldly: "I know someone, get out!"
There was another rustling sound, and then a black figure jumped down from a high place, with the huge bat wings spread out behind it like a beast in the night, he fell silently to the ground, the cloak was closed again, and turned into a Soft and smooth material.
Shirley was taken aback.
"……bat?"
Then one after another, a large group of people jumped out of the window or from the top floor of the villa.
Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash... well, the Justice League is here; then the Batboys and Alfred in their uniforms; and Tony, Steve, Bucky, also in their respective armors and uniforms... ...The Avengers have all arrived, it was obviously a group of drunks half an hour ago, but now—
Shirley was completely dumbfounded.
Natasha glanced at her naturally hanging arm and the long knife poking straight forward because she was still holding it tightly, and then noticed Batman who couldn't get close, and couldn't help reminding her tactfully: "Sweetheart, you can put Put the knife away."
So Batman was finally able to step forward without being pierced by the blade. He knelt down on one knee under Shirley's blank and dull gaze, and took out a small boxy velvet gift box from his waist.
Iron Man activated a small device, and dozens of small robots carrying flower baskets flew in from outside, and flew to sprinkle rose petals over Wayne Manor.
Shirley understood instantly, gasped in shock, and almost couldn't help backing away.
Batman opened the small gift box, and there was no doubt that it was a diamond ring. It was not big in size, but it was cut in a special way and the shape was exquisite. Judging from the luster, it was also a top-notch item.
"Nightingale." Batman looked up at her. He wore a voice changer, but strangely, his voice was still as affectionate and gentle as Bruce Wayne, "Before I met you, I was alone in Gotham. Ending old age is not a difficult thing for me to accept; but after meeting you, I only hope that I can be with you every day and every night." He paused and said every word seriously , "I love you, will you marry me?"
The Flash cheered loudly, but there was silence around him, and everyone's eyes were on him.Barry shrank his neck aggrievedly, isn't this something without suspense...
Shirley's mind was still blank, she stared blankly at Bruce, she had a lot of questions to ask, such as whether she had already proposed a marriage, such as how could she give the ring back when she already had a ring on her hand, such as Bruce himself How many rings did you secretly buy, such as...
But she didn't say anything at this time, not only because she knew it was not the time to say these things, but also because she didn't want to say anything except those three——
"I would." Nightingale said in the same changed voice, and Batman smiled, his steel blue eyes sparkling brightly and movingly.He stood up and caught the nightingale who was rushing towards him.
Xue Li hugged him tightly, she felt that she must have jumped hard just now, the tip of her nose hit the bat armor, the pain made her nose sore, and even her voice changed a little.
"Of course I would marry you, Batman."
The Flash and the little spider screamed at the same time, and Saul clasped his hands excitedly, and kept saying to Hawkeye beside him, "It's so romantic, it's great."
So Hawkeye had to warn him again: "They definitely don't need thunder and lightning as an accompaniment, Saul."
Steve, who was holding a shield, said to Bucky: "It's the first time to attend a marriage proposal with a shield."
"Fortunately, there is no need for Hulk." Dr. Banner said, "Otherwise Wayne Manor may have to be rebuilt."
Afu turned up the volume, and the soft music finally stopped being weird, and the romance and tenderness that should have been restored.But Tony snapped his fingers and switched it to rock and roll, and even the lights turned into shaking colorful colors. With a smile on his face, he raised his arms and shouted: "let's party!!!"
The others went to play separately, Batman was still hugging Nightingale, Shirley raised her head and kissed him, she couldn't let go of her smile, and said, "Why propose again, huh?"
"You said you liked Batman." Batman lowered his head and rubbed the tip of her nose, "And I think it was too casual last time."
"You even called Tony and the others over." Shirley finally realized something was wrong when she thought about it, "Those wines—"
"That's just grape juice."
Batman said that it was not easy to avoid Shirley colluding with the Avengers. After all, she was either in Wayne Manor or in the Avengers Building, so in the end he could only send text messages one by one for help.
He took Shirley's gloves off, took off the silver ring, and put on the diamond ring.
Shirley asked with a smirk, "How many rings did you steal, Batman?"
"Because I've been having a hard time finding a perfect ring, and none of them match you," Batman said distressedly.
"Then what's so special about this new one?"
"This is a diamond, and the ring body is made of carbon fiber and epoxy resin, without any metal."
"..." Shirley squinted at him, "In order not to let me take off the ring at any time, even if I meet Magneto?"
Batman, who had been punctured, could only kiss Shirley back the narrow joke that Shirley might say next.
There is no night watch in Gotham today. Aff thought it would be too disappointing to go to night watch immediately after proposing marriage, so Batman rarely handed over the control of Gotham for one night, so that Clark would come back if he heard something was wrong. action.
The Avengers continued the party that ended hastily at night. Sol, who drank grape juice all night and had to pretend to be drunk, was almost suffocated. He took a bottle of wine as soon as he sat down.Others also rejected the wine and drank other types of wine instead. Natasha didn't even want to see the wine bottle, and now she felt physically sick when she smelled the wine.
"The idea of the arrangement of Wayne Manor was actually my idea." When Shirley came to the Justice League team with a wine glass, Diana said so, and then looked at Shirley dumbfounded, "But your reaction is not the same as ours. Thinking differently."
Shirley smiled coyly, "I just don't think this looks like Batman's style..." She thought for a while, and said, "Did you miss the tradition of a bachelor party?"
"Bachelor party?" The corner of Neptune's mouth twitched, "Didn't Wayne live a bachelor party every day before you came? He--" he didn't finish the rest of the sentence because he was ruthless by the smiling Diana. He stomped hard.
Superman came out in time to make a rescue: "I think what Arthur means is that Bruce is eager to marry you right away. I know he has absolutely no nostalgia for his single days."
"Look at Superman, Arthur." Diana said softly, still not loosening the strength on her feet, "Why can't you learn to speak well."
Neptune:"……"
Wonder Woman must be unhappy because Nightingale is engaged, it must be! ! ! !
Tony's little robot is still flying around in the sky, leaving precious photos and video materials for them.Shirley looked back at the room where the demons danced wildly, um...it was really worth remembering, after all, it is rare to see Captain America dancing with a shield.
Diana leaned on the side and watched, touched her chin and said, "I think he looks better than when he sold the national debt back then."
Shirley: "...???"
Wearing bat armor to a party is probably the first time for Batman, it is impossible for him to chat and dance with the Avengers, and Shirley went to play with Diana Natasha, so in order for him not to be too Dissociated from the atmosphere, Superman took two glasses of wine and walked towards him.
"You're obviously very happy." Clark handed him the wine glass, "Why make yourself look unhappy?"
Batman deadpanned, "Because I'm never going to grin like Stark all night."
Clark suddenly called out loudly: "Hey, Diana!"
Diana turned her head, and Shirley looked back, and Superman gave him a smile, as if he was just saying hello casually.
After they turned back, Clark took out a mirror out of nowhere and put it in front of Batman: "Look at you now."
Batman with the corner of his mouth crazily raised: "..."
"Listen, Bruce," Clark said, "I'm really glad you're here with Shirley, you know, it's always good to have company."
"Ah."
Batman responded lightly, Iron Man's little guys were setting off fireworks outside, and Shirley and the others leaned on the railing outside to watch.But at this moment, Diana and Natasha were naturally filtered out of Batman's vision, leaving only Shirley in the middle.
He unconsciously softened his expression, and the corners of his mouth that had just been flattened were about to turn up again. Batman looked away and landed on the big blue man beside him.
"How are you and that female reporter?"
Superman was a little surprised. He touched his nose and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to pay attention to my... relationship status."
"Shirley said it," Batman said. "She said you asked her about something."
Clark looked at him for a moment, "Bruce, I didn't—"
"I know." Batman cut him off. "I didn't think so."
The two of them knew their thoughts well, but God testified, Batman really didn't doubt Superman's intentions for Shirley.He knew that Clark was not that kind of person, he was upright and kind, and he didn't bother to do such dirty things.
Not to misunderstand Clark, Batman explained, "I just thought maybe I could give you some advice."
"..." Superman took a step back silently, "Batman gave me emotional advice?"
His expression was quite gentle, but Batman inexplicably saw the taste of disgust, and he said blankly: "Superman, I have a bat dart studded with kryptonite."
Superman was not afraid of death and said: "Anyway, you don't have it with you now."
Enough is enough, Clark sighed, and whispered, "I'm not sure about bringing her into our world, Bruce...you know what we're dealing with, and she's just an ordinary person."
Batman said, "She loves you, you love her, and that's enough."
Clark looked even more surprised, as if he couldn't believe that Batman could say such a word of love without reason.
"Before that, maybe I would have hesitated." Batman said, still staring at Shirley's back, "but after meeting her..." He looked at Superman again, and said solemnly, "You are worth living this life too." life, Clark."
The party continued until dawn, and almost everyone who could get drunk (including the cubs) passed out and lay on the ground in a mess.When Superman came back from patrolling, he saw dead bodies all over the place. While sighing, he secretly rejoiced that Gotham was so well-behaved today, and no one made trouble.Not to mention New York, S.H.I.E.L.D., because the Avengers all came to Gotham to participate in this marriage proposal ceremony, and all staff worked overtime on standby, fearing that Hydra would take advantage of the loophole and sneak attack, but at present, it should be safe .
Shirley was also drowsy, Bruce carried her upstairs, Shirley saw her companions lying on the living room floor through the gap between Bruce's arms, and couldn't help saying: "Bruce, Tony and the others..."
"You expect me to carry them back to the room like you did?"
"...No, don't expect it."
Bruce put Shirley on the bed in the bedroom, took off her uniform and tucked her under the covers.
Shirley rubbed inside and said, "Did you not call the S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"I remember you didn't like Fury," Bruce said, leaning over and kissing her on the forehead, then pulled out her hand and kissed the ring before putting it back under the covers again, "and he refused my public request .” The second half of the sentence is the key point.
Shirley asked in a daze, "What to disclose?"
"Reveal as Bruce Wayne."
Bruce said sullenly and a little angrily, now he is like a naive little boy who got his favorite toy, thinking about telling the world all the time.
Shirley also smiled, stretched out her arms and hugged his neck to make him bend down, then kissed his lips: "No hurry, we still have a lot of time."
"Well." Bruce was barely convinced by this reason, "Yes, we still have a lot of time, Mrs. Wayne."
Shirley glanced around, but there was no one around, so she asked him in a low voice: "Peter, are you still investigating the weapon?"
"No more." Peter said sullenly. Seeing that Shirley didn't believe her, he hurriedly said, "I really didn't intervene anymore. At most, I just collected information and planned to prepare a report for Mr. Stark."
Tony, who was walking from the corridor, heard the end sharply and said, "What are you talking about?"

But she didn't say anything at this time, not only because she knew it was not the time to say these things, but also because she didn't want to say anything except those three——
"I would." Nightingale said in the same changed voice, and Batman smiled, his steel blue eyes sparkling brightly and movingly.He stood up and caught the nightingale who was rushing towards him.
Xue Li hugged him tightly, she felt that she must have jumped hard just now, the tip of her nose hit the bat armor, the pain made her nose sore, and even her voice changed a little.
"Of course I would marry you, Batman."
The Flash and the little spider screamed at the same time, and Saul clasped his hands excitedly, and kept saying to Hawkeye beside him, "It's so romantic, it's great."
So Hawkeye had to warn him again: "They definitely don't need thunder and lightning as an accompaniment, Saul."
Steve, who was holding a shield, said to Bucky: "It's the first time to attend a marriage proposal with a shield."
"Fortunately, there is no need for Hulk." Dr. Banner said, "Otherwise Wayne Manor may have to be rebuilt."
Afu turned up the volume, and the soft music finally stopped being weird, and the romance and tenderness that should have been restored.But Tony snapped his fingers and switched it to rock and roll, and even the lights turned into shaking colorful colors. With a smile on his face, he raised his arms and shouted: "let's party!!!"
The others went to play separately, Batman was still hugging Nightingale, Shirley raised her head and kissed him, she couldn't let go of her smile, and said, "Why propose again, huh?"
"You said you liked Batman." Batman lowered his head and rubbed the tip of her nose, "And I think it was too casual last time."
"You even called Tony and the others over." Shirley finally realized something was wrong when she thought about it, "Those wines—"
"That's just grape juice."
Batman said that it was not easy to avoid Shirley colluding with the Avengers. After all, she was either in Wayne Manor or in the Avengers Building, so in the end he could only send text messages one by one for help.
He took Shirley's gloves off, took off the silver ring, and put on the diamond ring.
Shirley asked with a smirk, "How many rings did you steal, Batman?"
"Because I've been having a hard time finding a perfect ring, and none of them match you," Batman said distressedly.
"Then what's so special about this new one?"
"This is a diamond, and the ring body is made of carbon fiber and epoxy resin, without any metal."
"..." Shirley squinted at him, "In order not to let me take off the ring at any time, even if I meet Magneto?"
Batman, who had been punctured, could only kiss Shirley back the narrow joke that Shirley might say next.
There is no night watch in Gotham today. Aff thought it would be too disappointing to go to night watch immediately after proposing marriage, so Batman rarely handed over the control of Gotham for one night, so that Clark would come back if he heard something was wrong. action.
The Avengers continued the party that ended hastily at night. Sol, who drank grape juice all night and had to pretend to be drunk, was almost suffocated. He took a bottle of wine as soon as he sat down.Others also rejected the wine and drank other types of wine instead. Natasha didn't even want to see the wine bottle, and now she felt physically sick when she smelled the wine.
"The idea of the arrangement of Wayne Manor was actually my idea." When Shirley came to the Justice League team with a wine glass, Diana said so, and then looked at Shirley dumbfounded, "But your reaction is not the same as ours. Thinking differently."
Shirley smiled coyly, "I just don't think this looks like Batman's style..." She thought for a while, and said, "Did you miss the tradition of a bachelor party?"
"Bachelor party?" The corner of Neptune's mouth twitched, "Didn't Wayne live a bachelor party every day before you came? He--" he didn't finish the rest of the sentence because he was ruthless by the smiling Diana. He stomped hard.
Superman came out in time to make a rescue: "I think what Arthur means is that Bruce is eager to marry you right away. I know he has absolutely no nostalgia for his single days."
"Look at Superman, Arthur." Diana said softly, still not loosening the strength on her feet, "Why can't you learn to speak well."
Neptune:"……"
Wonder Woman must be unhappy because Nightingale is engaged, it must be! ! ! !
Tony's little robot is still flying around in the sky, leaving precious photos and video materials for them.Shirley looked back at the room where the demons danced wildly, um...it was really worth remembering, after all, it is rare to see Captain America dancing with a shield.
Diana leaned on the side and watched, touched her chin and said, "I think he looks better than when he sold the national debt back then."
Shirley: "...???"
Wearing bat armor to a party is probably the first time for Batman, it is impossible for him to chat and dance with the Avengers, and Shirley went to play with Diana Natasha, so in order for him not to be too Dissociated from the atmosphere, Superman took two glasses of wine and walked towards him.
"You're obviously very happy." Clark handed him the wine glass, "Why make yourself look unhappy?"
Batman deadpanned, "Because I'm never going to grin like Stark all night."
Clark suddenly called out loudly: "Hey, Diana!"
Diana turned her head, and Shirley looked back, and Superman gave him a smile, as if he was just saying hello casually.
After they turned back, Clark took out a mirror out of nowhere and put it in front of Batman: "Look at you now."
Batman with the corner of his mouth crazily raised: "..."
"Listen, Bruce," Clark said, "I'm really glad you're here with Shirley, you know, it's always good to have company."
"Ah."
Batman responded lightly, Iron Man's little guys were setting off fireworks outside, and Shirley and the others leaned on the railing outside to watch.But at this moment, Diana and Natasha were naturally filtered out of Batman's vision, leaving only Shirley in the middle.
He unconsciously softened his expression, and the corners of his mouth that had just been flattened were about to turn up again. Batman looked away and landed on the big blue man beside him.
"How are you and that female reporter?"
Superman was a little surprised. He touched his nose and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to pay attention to my... relationship status."
"Shirley said it," Batman said. "She said you asked her about something."
Clark looked at him for a moment, "Bruce, I didn't—"
"I know." Batman cut him off. "I didn't think so."
The two of them knew their thoughts well, but God testified, Batman really didn't doubt Superman's intentions for Shirley.He knew that Clark was not that kind of person, he was upright and kind, and he didn't bother to do such dirty things.
Not to misunderstand Clark, Batman explained, "I just thought maybe I could give you some advice."
"..." Superman took a step back silently, "Batman gave me emotional advice?"
His expression was quite gentle, but Batman inexplicably saw the taste of disgust, and he said blankly: "Superman, I have a bat dart studded with kryptonite."
Superman was not afraid of death and said: "Anyway, you don't have it with you now."
Enough is enough, Clark sighed, and whispered, "I'm not sure about bringing her into our world, Bruce...you know what we're dealing with, and she's just an ordinary person."
Batman said, "She loves you, you love her, and that's enough."
Clark looked even more surprised, as if he couldn't believe that Batman could say such a word of love without reason.
"Before that, maybe I would have hesitated." Batman said, still staring at Shirley's back, "but after meeting her..." He looked at Superman again, and said solemnly, "You are worth living this life too." life, Clark."
The party continued until dawn, and almost everyone who could get drunk (including the cubs) passed out and lay on the ground in a mess.When Superman came back from patrolling, he saw dead bodies all over the place. While sighing, he secretly rejoiced that Gotham was so well-behaved today, and no one made trouble.Not to mention New York, S.H.I.E.L.D., because the Avengers all came to Gotham to participate in this marriage proposal ceremony, and all staff worked overtime on standby, fearing that Hydra would take advantage of the loophole and sneak attack, but at present, it should be safe .
Shirley was also drowsy, Bruce carried her upstairs, Shirley saw her companions lying on the living room floor through the gap between Bruce's arms, and couldn't help saying: "Bruce, Tony and the others..."
"You expect me to carry them back to the room like you did?"
"...No, don't expect it."
Bruce put Shirley on the bed in the bedroom, took off her uniform and tucked her under the covers.
Shirley rubbed inside and said, "Did you not call the S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"I remember you didn't like Fury," Bruce said, leaning over and kissing her on the forehead, then pulled out her hand and kissed the ring before putting it back under the covers again, "and he refused my public request .” The second half of the sentence is the key point.
Shirley asked in a daze, "What to disclose?"
"Reveal as Bruce Wayne."
Bruce said sullenly and a little angrily, now he is like a naive little boy who got his favorite toy, thinking about telling the world all the time.
Shirley also smiled, stretched out her arms and hugged his neck to make him bend down, then kissed his lips: "No hurry, we still have a lot of time."
"Well." Bruce was barely convinced by this reason, "Yes, we still have a lot of time, Mrs. Wayne."
