[Zhongyingmei] There are always people who want to harm me

Emily doesn't know if Batman caught the clown, she only knows that she has suffered a heavy loss.

Most of the clothes, shoes, hats, books, and CDs were burned in the explosion. Except for a box containing valuables recovered by agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., there was almost nothing left of Emily's things.

As I said before, Emily is a moonlight family, and she hardly saves money. If the landlady hadn't refunded the rent and deposit for the remaining months, she could almost be called penniless.

At this moment, penniless, once back before liberation, Emily is sitting on the sofa on the top floor of the Avengers Building and counting her belongings.

"Clothes...well, these are the only ones you can wear, and bags...ah, this is not worth much!" She casually threw a small satchel aside, "...Fortunately, these are still here..." An open metal box In it were some expensive jewellery, and the ruby ​​Moriarty had given him.

After the explosion, all the Avengers were dispatched and have not returned until now.Emily begged Phil Coulson with the cheek to let the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents at the scene help retrieve some property.

"Miss Emily, according to my estimation, your direct economic loss this time has reached 10% of the sum of all your properties," Jarvis dutifully reminded Emily.

"10%? Jarvis, are you kidding?" Emily was not interested in chatting at all at the moment, "I think I have 10% of my property left."

"No, according to my estimation, the value of your gemstone can reach..."

"That's not counted!" Emily put down the clothes in her hand, almost crying.

"...Then your direct economic loss this time has reached 83.97% of your total property."

Even if you really have nothing, you can still live.

Emily found a new apartment on the Internet. The location is located in the middle of the straight-line distance between New York University and Avengers Building. It is a bit far from the subway station, but the environment is elegant and security is strict. The apartment of 45 square meters for living alone does not need to be rented with others. It is exquisitely decorated and fully furnished. , the price is half the price of the original apartment - the only bad thing is that it is a haunted house.

It is said that the former homeowner was found on two boats, so he was stabbed 28 times by his fiancée who was a doctor. The blood was not fatal when the knife was seen, and he struggled for a long time and finally lost too much blood and died.

Because there was a big murder at that time, the apartment has been vacant since then, and no one is willing to rent it.Emily was short of money and anxious to rent a house, so she paid the rent and moved in after visiting once.

When the Avengers finally finished their work, Emily had already lived in the new apartment for more than half a month.

"Emily, how about the new apartment?" As a seasoned spy, Natasha didn't believe in any legends about haunted houses.But she was really surprised that Emily was in such a hurry to find a new apartment to move into.

"Very good, the owner even prepared the kitchen utensils for me." Emily is generally satisfied with the new apartment.

"Emily, you can live here first and wait until you find a suitable apartment before moving out. Why are you in such a hurry?" Hawkeye Clint Barton, as a father with a daughter, was most surprised by Emily's decision "Stark won't mind you living here." Girls are timid, and he really can't imagine what kind of psychology Emily moved into a haunted house in such a hurry.

Emily looked at the three Avengers in front of her, including the former neighbor Steve who had long offered to help rent the house but was rejected, "My current apartment is really good, not far from the school and here, The rent is cheap and the environment is good, it would be a pity to miss this kind of house.”

Emily is really not afraid of haunted houses?

Of course she was afraid, but she couldn't help it.With only so much working capital in hand, and the urgent time, that apartment was already the best choice for her at that time.

Why not spend a few days at Avengers Tower?

Emily can't.Or maybe her mental state doesn't allow her to do that.

Emily is a very insecure person at heart.She needs a home of her own to give her a sense of belonging, to feel like she has a home to call home.Before there was an accident in the apartment, she didn't mind working too late and living in the Avengers Building directly, but after her apartment was gone, staying in the Avengers Building for one night made her feel homeless, so she paid special attention to it. uncomfortable.

So, at noon on the second day after the apartment was bombed, she signed the contract and moved in with the few belongings left.

"Emily," Stark, who had been in the workshop adjusting the new mech since he came back, finally showed up, "Clean up, and I'll take you to Gotham."

"...Yes, Mr. Stark." Those who should come can't escape, and those who cause trouble must be held accountable.

"Why are you downcast? Where is the momentum of pointing at Bruce Wayne and asking him to catch the clown to compensate you?" Stark looked at his little assistant with a funny look, not even daring to lift his head.

"Mr. Stark, I'm sorry..." Emily moved out of the Avengers Building in a hurry, and she didn't dare to meet her idol.

"Well, what's wrong?" Stark couldn't help laughing as he watched Emily blushing.

"Stark." Steve, who followed because he was worried, gave Stark a warning look, "Emily, don't be afraid, Stark and I are here."

"...I shouldn't expose Batman's identity to my face," Emily said in a low voice, "It's good for me that you don't let me participate in those things, but I exposed Mr. Wayne to my face..."

"Okay, Emily, you're just being excited for a while." Steve actually felt that Emily's actions were understandable. An underage child watched his home being bombed and everything was gone. It was a bit extreme. Reactions are also normal.

The drive from Manhattan to Gotham is neither close nor far, at least at the speed of Tony Stark's supercar. An hour later, a group of three entered the manor of Gotham's richest man, Bruce Wayne.

Normally, Emily would have had a good look at Batman's house with her eyes wide open, but at this moment——

#Baby is so anxious#

The butler of the manor is a white-haired old man, who is polite and dignified, "Please come with me, three, Master Wayne is in the living room."

No, no, no, Batman is obviously Master Wayne.

Emily corrected herself in pain and joy.

As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Batman Bruce Wayne sitting on the sofa, but his aura was no longer that playboy outside.

#宝宝好方#

Facing Batman with a serious face, Emily sat on the sofa with her boss, took a deep breath before waiting for Alfres butler to pour tea, and then——

"Mr. Wayne," Emily looked directly at Bruce Wayne, "I'm really sorry about what happened that day, I shouldn't blame you, and I never told you about the time you saved me at New York University." thank."

In addition to the loss of property, what has troubled Emily for the past half month is also the guilt of letting down the idol Iron Man's painstaking efforts and angering Batman.

Yes, anger.

What I blurted out that day was to vent my anger.

Why does the Joker and Batman fight bring himself into it?

Why didn't you Batman catch the Joker sooner?

When Emily saw the collapse of the apartment building where her home was located, her negative emotions were maximized.

She went to school seriously, worked diligently, and was kind to others. She thought she had never done anything bad, but things always happened one after another.

First he was kidnapped by a cult and almost died, then he was held hostage by Moriarty's people, and then he was interrogated twice by SHIELD, and then he reunited with his first love, the scum. I got hurt all over my body.

Emily is just an ordinary person, and being smart doesn't mean that she can think about everything she encounters. No matter how open-minded a person is, there is a limit.

The bombed-out apartment was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Emily, who was dazzled by negative emotions, took all her anger on Batman.

However, after half a month passed and she calmed down, Emily felt guilty.

Can the Joker's crimes be blamed on Batman?

No.

If anyone in this world is the biggest victim of the clown, that person is undoubtedly Batman himself.

Emily may have many flaws, but she's not afraid to admit mistakes.

"Mr. Wayne, I did something wrong that day. I hope you can forgive me. If you can't, I can understand."

Bruce Wayne looked at Stark's little assistant in front of him.He is not tall, with an obvious oriental figure. He looks like he is not yet an adult. His eyes are red, but his eyes are sincere.

It was Alfred the butler who broke the silence.

"Here are homemade cookies and Black Forest cake. Miss, do you like it?" The white-haired old butler served black tea to everyone as if he hadn't heard anything, and brought some sweets to Emily.

"...Thank you." Emily was sure that this wise old man must have heard the previous words.

"How do you know... that I belong to Batman?" Bruce Wayne, who had taken off his disguise, was indifferent and a little unreasonable, and he still had the playboy look of before.

Feeling that Iron Man sitting next to him was about to speak, Emily interrupted hastily, "I guessed it." The crime of leaking Batman's identity must not fall on anyone in the Avengers, "I guessed it myself ’” Emily could not accept the rift between the Justice League and the Avengers due to her own fault.

"Oh?" Bruce Wayne looked at the little girl in front of him, motioning for her to continue.

Emily can only retell the story she told the Avengers earlier.

"I did a part-time job, and it can't be considered a part-time job. I have a classmate who likes Batman very much. He has a photo of Batman that he received at a high price. At that time, he hoped that he could ask for Batman's autograph to be written on the In the photo." Whenever Emily thinks back to her part-time job history, she is almost moved by her spirit of earning money without fear of hardship or tiredness. He will pay another 5000 US dollars, plus other expenses.” That’s right, the Batman fanboy is a tycoon, “I saw that the salary was good, so I took his job.”

Emily took a sip of the black tea in the cup, "If you want to sign an autograph, you have to find Batman first. I ordered all the newspapers in Gotham first." Of course, the fanboy paid for it. There are 5 newspapers, and almost every newspaper report contains Batman. There are 28 other smaller newspapers, 22 of which have Batman columns. There are 143 small newspapers left, of which There are 65 copies dedicated to Batman, but because most of the content is not true, it is difficult to use as a reference." Emily thought of the days when she was once dominated by newspaper mountains.

"The bloggers who do Batman columns on the Internet are the most famous 7 people, and 2 of them discuss the impact of Batman on society, which can be ignored. There are 2 who specialize in drawing pictures of Batman, but I haven't really seen it. After passing Batman, the remaining 3 people have left Gotham after studying in a UK, and only [-] people were still living in Gotham City at that time, and they saw you with their own eyes and took photos."

"Continue." Bruce Wayne looked at Stark's little assistant talking eloquently in front of him, and finally got a little interested.

"I downloaded a map of Gotham City from the Internet, and marked all the places where Batman appeared in newspapers and the Internet in chronological order."

It was the first time Steve had heard Emily tell about her discovery of Batman, and he was a little curious.

"What did you find?" Bruce Wayne was confident that it was impossible to find his whereabouts from those newspapers and Internet news alone.

"Nothing." Emily admitted, "There are two mainstream newspaper reports on Batman's whereabouts that are completely contrary to one of the online blogger's whereabouts. The locations given by the newspapers are far apart."

"It seems that you got nothing." Bruce Wayne had no expression on his face.

"No, I discovered a big secret," Emily looked directly at Bruce Wayne, "Bruce Wayne, the president of the Wayne Group, will always publish newspapers when Batman subdues important prisoners, either burns his own villa, or Got drunk with some model. And every time there's a conflict over Batman's location, at least two of the newspapers in it are sponsored by the Wayne Corporation."

"Miss Li, you have to know that Wayne Group's business is all over Gotham."

"That's right. If it's just like this, it might be a coincidence. So I changed the direction of the investigation and investigated your whereabouts first." Emily is a person who is willing to work hard to make money for shopping.

"As we all know, Iron Man is the owner of the Stark Group. From another perspective, if you want to be a superhero, you must first have enough financial resources. Of course, mutations are not counted." Emily inadvertently interrupted her neighbor Steve One knife, "So I started with the Gotham rich list. To be Batman, having enough financial resources is not enough, you have to have time, so those rich people who work hard every day to run their businesses have to be excluded. Batman is a woman The probability is too low, so exclude all rich women, not too old, I exclude people over 45 years old. It is hard for people who will come out to be vigilantes to have a normal family, I exclude all married with children people.” At this point, there are only three people left on the list.

"Gotham's richest man list, you are ranked first, so I started from you. It turns out..." Emily still remembers her surprise when she found out that Batman was related to Gotham's richest man, " Once the blogger on the Internet said that Batman was injured in a fight with gangsters, and the next day the news said that Bruce Wayne missed an important meeting because he was drunk the night before. Another time Batman The prisoner who escaped was caught, and the next day it was reported that someone photographed Mr. Wayne dating a female model at a hotel not far from where Batman appeared that night, and the other two people on the list flew to Chicago One went to England. Another time Batman..."

"Emily, tell me the result directly." Stark interrupted his little assistant's eloquence.

"Hmm... Then I found out on the Internet that there was a celebration in Gotham City that night. Mr. Wayne, you were there, so I drove here with my classmates. How could it be such a coincidence?! It was in an alley near the event venue I saw you." Later, although the fan boy didn't get an autograph, he paid the reward generously because he saw the idol with his own eyes, "You seemed to be busy at the time, and we didn't dare to get out of the car." To be exact, the bat Mr. Xia was beating up a big man covered in tattoos, "But he was very satisfied to see you with his own eyes. Later, it was too dark and we didn't dare to stay outside, so we went to the hotel to stay."

Steve, who had never heard the story himself, was surprised by Emily's discovery.

But Bruce Wayne, who had his vest stripped off, was deeply reflecting—his disguise was so bad? !

"Mr. Wayne, I didn't tell anyone about what happened at that time." Except for the people in the Fulian, "I can apologize to you again for my behavior at that time, but please believe that I never really said this Tell someone about it." Emily wasn't quite sure that Batman was Bruce Wayne himself.

"Whether it's about investigating your privacy, or my attitude towards you a while ago, I apologize to you. If you can't forgive me, I can understand, but please believe that I sincerely apologize to you." Emily He stood up and bowed to Bruce Wayne to apologize.

"Miss Emily, would you like to try the newly baked biscuits?" The housekeeper Alfred smiled kindly, "It's still hot just out of the oven, Miss and I will go and taste it."

Emily glanced back at Stark, got up and left with Mr. Steward after getting a positive look.

Emily didn't know what Iron Man and Batman talked about. She was taken to the kitchen by the butler, and she was stuffed with desserts.

"Mr. Alfred," Emily swallowed the cookie in her mouth, and finally found a chance to speak, "Please pass this on to Mr. Wayne." It was a photo of Batman, which was Emily candidly filmed.

"Yes, Miss Emily."

After Emily stayed alone in Wayne Manor for an hour, she was notified that Iron Man and his party planned to leave.

Standing by Mr. Stark's car, Bruce Wayne hands Emily a check.

A full $50.

"Miss Li, I hope someone can make up for your loss."

Emily smiled and pushed the check back, "No, Mr. Wayne, I have no position to take your check." The person who blew up the apartment building was a clown. Batman should pay for the Joker's evil deeds?Then today's apology is meaningless.

When Emily got into her boss' car, she found that Batman leaned over and handed another thing in - the photo that Emily gave to Mr. Housekeeper before, but with Batman's signature on it.

"Miss Emily, you are welcome to visit Gotham next time."
