Winnie looked at Bruce on the opposite side under the moonlight. She thought about her words and said to him, "Bruce, I'm going back first."

Bruce Wayne put his hands in the pockets of his trousers. His attitude towards Winnie was not as serious as it was at the beginning. After hearing what she said, he stretched out a hand and made a gesture of please.

He didn't seem to intend to follow the original topic and ask Winnie about her abilities.

Winnie didn't know that the Batman she met under the night in Gotham was Bruce Wayne himself, thinking that this was the first time she met Bruce after she left Gotham City.But the atmosphere at the first meeting was not harmonious, and the way Bruce showed just now was still in Winnie's heart, and Winnie felt that she couldn't ask the other party where he was going back.Even if she noticed the broken-down convertible supercar parked on the side of the road.

Strange, who had been standing by her side since just now, suddenly grabbed Winnie's shoulders.

Winnie's height is not tall among women, and when she was embraced by Strange, who was close to 190, Winnie felt as if she could feel the night breeze mixed with the other's shallow breath on her. Hair spread on one side.

The shoulder touched by the opponent's palm is only separated by a layer of fabric in midsummer, and it is easy to feel the body temperature that is a little hot.

Winnie flinched slightly in response, but when she glanced up at Strange's expression, she found that she had no intention of breaking free from the hand.

Such a gesture comes from one side's needless to say but strong desire to protect the other side. As a man, Bruce certainly knows what this means. He almost subconsciously squinted his eyebrows when he saw Strange making this gesture. .

"Yes, you should go back to Winnie, it's almost midnight."

Strange said to Winnie, but his gaze was looking in the direction of Bruce Wayne.

When Winnie heard his reminder, she spontaneously understood that Strange was reminding her that she had to prepare for Astoria and Draco's coming to Manhattan the next day, so she had to sleep well tonight Feel nourished enough spirit.

Winnie nodded quickly.

Still, she glanced back at Bruce.Winnie can still feel that Bruce's attitude towards her has eased compared to the beginning, more like the atmosphere when they got along with each other in the past, although they have no feeling of love at all when they get along with the past lovers , but Bruce is still an acquaintance who has known for a long time in Winnie's eyes.

Instead, Bruce took the initiative to speak, breaking the somewhat delicate atmosphere.

"Winnie, it's not a big deal, you don't have to worry about me."

After this sentence, Bruce originally planned to add another sentence to polish his flirtatious disguise, such as "I really think we are breaking up here now, if my new girlfriend for the past two days knows that I am in the middle of the night Talking to another woman on the street wouldn't be fun tonight," but Bruce didn't say it, he couldn't say it to Winnie.

Winnie looked at the gangsters lying around him who were trying to reduce their sense of existence, and found that what Bruce said made sense, and she really had nothing to worry about him.

She finally nodded with Bruce, and walked very simply, probably not aware of the regrets in the other party's heart.

Strange directly took Winnie back to the door of the apartment where she was currently living.After these two people appeared out of nowhere in the originally dark corridor, the aisle lights equipped with voice-activated sensors lit up.

After Strange sent people back, he didn't rush to get Winnie to go back to rest earlier as he said verbally.He stood aside with a relaxed body, as if out of curiosity, he actually asked Winnie about her relationship with the man on the street before.

"Who is that? From the way he looked just now, do you know him?"

In fact, it is impossible for Strange not to know the famous Bruce Wayne, his face and identity are recognizable enough.Strange simply wanted to hear what Winnie said about Bruce Wayne.He clicked his tongue.

However, Winnie completely ignored this sense of disobedience here.She quietly glanced at the other person's expression now, subconsciously, she didn't want and didn't dare to let Stephen know the past tense relationship between her and Bruce.

"Wizards in North America are different from those in Europe. Because of historical issues, they are more exclusive and the supervision is stricter. I did not submit the relevant procedures at the Ministry of Magic when I came to the United States, but arrived by plane. Gotham It’s where I started in America.”

After so many years, even though this is the land she grew up in and the Muggle world she lived in, Winnie still feels alienated from everything in Muggle society.The identity and magic of a wizard have been deeply engraved in her blood and bone marrow. Winnie found that when she arrived in the United States in a hurry, she could not live well in this society under the disguise of an ordinary Muggle.

Strange raised his eyebrows, and didn't know if he should scold the other party for his big heart.

"Dare to go to a place with such a high crime rate?"

Unfazed by the sarcasm in his words, Winnie explained, tilting her head.

"I chose Gotham because of its poor law and order. In the eyes of Muggles, Gotham is a place full of filth. The wizarding world has also been subtly affected. Many dangerous wizards and those who are not very gregarious will also choose to stay. In Gotham, the U.S. Ministry of Magic has nothing to do with Gotham. I found out later that I wanted to live there for a while, and then make plans after I understand the current situation of the wizarding world in the United States and adapt to some basic lifestyles of ordinary people. I met Bruce when I was in Gotham, and he helped me a lot at that time, and I gradually adapted to the lifestyle of ordinary people, but I haven’t seen him for a long time after leaving Gotham.”

Winnie slowed down, and after talking about Bruce Wayne, she couldn't help but look at Strange.The introduction about the wizarding world in the United States accounted for [-]% of the paragraph. Whether Slytherin was born or learned later, he always knew how to avoid important things and ignore minor ones. In the end, Bruce's name only appeared in the last sentence.

Even Winnie herself didn't know that there was a trace of careful flattery in her current expression.

She just felt awkward bringing up Bruce in front of Stephen.

After Strange finished listening, his eyelids and long and dense eyelashes lifted, and there was a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, making it uncertain whether he believed Winnie's statement.

But at least Winnie breathed a sigh of relief, and Stephen didn't insist on asking.

Although she didn't know why she felt a little trembling when she saw the other party's half-smile.

If it was Xiao Yingshao instead of Winnie who appeared in front of Strange now, the cat's fur would probably have blown up.

Winnie's expression pleased Strange, so he didn't care too much about Winnie's vague explanation.Moreover, he believes that at least what he said is true.

What really made him feel like his heart was soaked in honey syrup was Winnie's relatively obvious closeness to Bruce Wayne when he faced Bruce Wayne earlier.

The most direct way to feel happiness is through comparison.

Probably because this topic was brought up with Strange, the other party's reaction showed connivance-like gentleness, and the vigilance that came from Winnie's intuition at the beginning gradually relaxed, and she continued in front of someone. Speaking up.

"Just now I saw those gangsters holding knives, and I used magic to knock the knives away in front of Bruce. Before that, I kept hiding my wizard identity from him." Winnie didn't know if Bruce was using it to look at the aliens. She looked at herself, but in her understanding, being looked at by that kind of eyes didn't feel good.

"Perhaps this is the destined estrangement. People who are not of our race must have different hearts."

At the end, Winnie said with some self-deprecating emotion.

Although intellectually she understands Bruce's changed attitude towards her, even if the roles were reversed, she would definitely react in this way, but this does not mean that she can accept it emotionally.

Strange was silent for a while because of Winnie's words, and then put his hands on Winnie's shoulders.

"Winnie."

He called Winnie's name, causing Winnie to subconsciously raise her head again, and the distance between them became closer.

"If you were just an ordinary person and found out that I was a mage, would you be afraid of me or loathe me?"

In addition to the penetration of heat, physical contact also maintains a deeper sense of security.And when facing Strange, Winnie didn't even feel any resistance in her body when his hands were laid on her.

The body is often much more honest than the heart.

She trusted each other so much.

"……I have no idea."

Winnie looked back at the other party nonchalantly, the man's eyes were deeper than hers, and there seemed to be more things contained in them, so huge that it seemed to hold a universe, but in fact Winnie only looked at it in his eyes. to his own reflection.

What Winnie said she didn't know was more like an excuse that she couldn't answer for a while.She just thought about what she would think if the identity was reversed because of the grievance in her heart. Now Stephen put forward similar words, but when the protagonist changed from Bruce to him, Winnie found that she couldn't answer.

Strange's fingertips were gently stroking Winnie's shoulders. Seeing her appearance, he understood in his heart.So after he knew that Winnie was a wizard, his second reaction after being shocked would be to be relieved and grateful.

He used to be a staunch materialist, a hypocritical man who put money first.

But he thanked Vishanti for his guidance.If he hadn't fought on the street in front of Winnie's Flower Shop, he might never have known Winnie's special identity.

Then he will choose to stay away from her, even if he likes her.

Because of the different identities and the different worlds he comes into contact with, it will bring danger to the other party. There are many such excuses, and they are used to cover up his inner hesitation.After Strange took over the burden of the New York Temple, he teleported secretly to Winnie's flower shop and took a look at her from afar.

At that time, he chose to say goodbye to Winnie in his heart.

After knowing the identity of Wizard Winnie, even if their identities and worlds are still different, the danger will not be reduced, but people will start to make countless excuses for themselves, no matter how far-fetched they are, he will never let go she.

So what does it matter if a Bruce Wayne shows up?

Strange moved closer to Winnie, and chanted in a low voice.

"Winnie, you don't know."

Yes, she didn't know that he had hesitated countless times in his heart.In front of the woman he likes, a man is no longer an arrogant doctor or a wise and profound mage, but just an ordinary person with love and desire.

Strange looked at the necklace on Winnie's body, and didn't continue talking.

His words, accompanied by a low sigh, seemed to drop thousands of tons on his heart, and easily smashed open a hole in Winnie's cowardly defense.

Wound with cowardice like a shadow is the love that has grown into a towering giant tree. How much cowardice imprisons it, how much it desires to break through the wall.

Now, it can no longer be ignored.

Winnie carefully followed Strange's strength on her shoulders and moved closer to him, as if she wanted to take some comfort from him.

"Stephen, you don't know either."

I don't know that I found out at this moment that I have fallen in love with you.

The elevator door opened in front of the two of them. Captain America, who had just taken a step, froze for a moment, and his first reaction was to put his foot back.

The author has something to say: Captain America: It’s always me who gets hurt_(:з」∠)_
