Superhero Damage Control [Comprehensive]

Wayne Manor finally ushered in the sunniest day. The manor was shrouded in sadness for too long. They moved the dining table to the garden, and Tim moved the billiard table there. laughter.Barbara sat on the grass, discussing the Quantico hero training program with Bucky and Lucy.

"There are two proposals. One is that Quantico directly recruits students with superpowers. We investigate the background of the students. If there is even one credit card fraud, he will not be able to enter Quantico. After graduation, he will directly become an FBI agent. Members." Barbara said, she passed this very quickly, and it was obviously just a supplementary option, "There is another kind, which is to conduct volunteer training. Every police school can provide such training. You probably don't know it, but We have a community watcher system."

"Community Watcher?" Lucy pondered carefully, "This is interesting."

Barbara typed a few characters on the computer and showed Lucy.Lucy couldn't help laughing, and the idea of ​​letting the vigilantes receive Quantico training was originally born because of Spider-Man, and the Watchmen system happened to originate in Queens, New York. The police, handling cases that the official police have no time to take care of.

"If we want to find the corresponding institutional support, I think the Neighborhood watch program can be basically satisfied." Lucy pointed to some provisions, and she patted Bucky with her backhand, and Bucky was looking at Tim and Dick showing " Ah, I'm so bored, I really want to play pool' eyes.

"You're not interested in what we're discussing, are you?" Lucy broke Bucky's true thoughts in one sentence.

Bucky barely lifted his spirits: "Where did we discuss?"

Lucy sneered and said to Barbara, "Look, that's why I'm cutting superhero rescue responsibilities. Because only slackers can be born from super."

Bucky accepted the title of "slacker" willingly, and Lucy signaled with his eyes that Bucky could go, and Bucky jumped up from the grass and ran almost immediately.

Barbara shrugged: "You really should go to Midtown. Since the Flash appeared, the police there can only sit in the police car and eat donuts."

"The Flash?" Lucy was surprised. She had never seen the Flash in any reports in this world. She thought there was no Flash in this world, so she tentatively asked, "Who is this?"

"Oh, I forgot." Barbara tapped her head, "The Flash is what our FBI privately calls the superpower police officer in Midtown because he runs very fast. People in Midtown call him Allen." agent."

"You mean, he is also an open superhero?" Lucy was a little surprised that the Flash was an open hero?

"No, he didn't disclose his identity. The Midtown Police Department gave him an identity."

Barbara gave Lucy a brief explanation. A few months ago, a superpower appeared in Midtown to fight crime. The residents of Midtown regarded him as a rare animal. The mayor gave him the city key to keep him. Talent, the Midtown Police Department directly signed a ten-year contract with him and gave him an official identity "Agent Allen".No one knows whether the Flash's real name is related to Allen, anyway, everyone calls him that.

"The citizens of Midtown like him, the policemen of Midtown like him, and even the villains of Midtown like him. You know, a villain in Star City once ran into Midtown like a guy named Deathstroke, trying to get away with it. Midtown engaged in the usual Gotham gang predation rules, and hurt Allen... As a result, the villains in Midtown joined forces for the first time, arrested him and handed him over to the police, leaving behind 'We want Alan' note."

My God, this story is going to warm Lucy's heart, and Spider-Man will cry if he knows how well the Flash has been treated.

"If only the people of Gotham and New York were as cute as the people in Midtown." Lucy couldn't laugh or cry, she snapped her fingers, "Wait, the Flash gave me a little inspiration. I've been trying to get the government to Heroes use law enforcement, and you always think that you can’t do background checks if you can’t disclose your identity, and law enforcement is a joke. Are we too locked into the current system?”

Lucy wrote "Superhero + Mutual Assistance System" on her profile leaflet, and showed it to Barbara: "If I can make a proposal for a superhero police assistance system, superheroes prevent crimes from happening, but law enforcement power is relative." The police are a little lower, what do you think the chances are of passing?"

Barbara thought about it carefully for a while: "I am Deputy Director Quantico. I can try to get the FBI Director to be the co-signer of your proposal. If the FBI Funding Committee is interested in this proposal, I will get at least fourteen the support of a senator."

Fourteen senators!

Lucy was so pleasantly surprised. This is definitely a lot. Unlike the House of Representatives, which has 435 members and only 14 senators, each vote is very precious. If you can get [-] votes directly through the FBI, then it will be very beneficial Li: "We can do an experimental training camp first, and Titan can fully fund it."

"That would be great," said Barbara.

"Sir, ladies." Alfred interrupted everyone's ongoing activities, and served a steaming, beautifully colored barbecue, and the snow-white dining table was full of beautiful things.

Professor X and Magneto sat over talking about something, Dick and Tim cheered and sat beside Bruce, Tim sniffed the aroma of the barbecue, and winked at Clark: "I guess it was Clark's roast."

Clark sat on the other side and touched his glasses: "As always, exclusive secret recipe."

Bruce Wayne raised his glass: "The Wayne family has always had a dining tradition, which is to talk about things you are grateful for while eating. But I, a spoiled son of the family, have long forgotten this tradition, especially when When you have a table full of food, you just can't focus on tradition. But today, I want to revive this tradition because today means a lot. My son, Dick Grayson, he made a Something I'm very proud of.

Everyone smiled and clapped, and Bruce cleared his throat.

"He killed a heinous criminal, he saved the city. Yes, he killed people, and killing people is a hard thing for everyone, it doesn't make you happy, it doesn't make you so Relieve the burden, you will realize how powerful you are, your ego will fill your heart, then you will be confused because you realize that you can easily cross life and death, and the weapon in your hand will make you feel terrible and hateful, and then you will change Vulnerability, as well as depression, sadness, and anger, it is because you find that even though you are so powerful, you cannot use violence to make others join you in pursuing the justice you want. You face countless choices every day, and you have countless choices. Shortcuts can get you what you want, you just...can't take the shortcut. You can only take the painful, long path...but it's only in the hard way that we find the answers we seek in life, Only then can we see ourselves more clearly and get the justice we want."

Bruce's eyes flicked to everyone, and his speech was heavy, but inspiring.

"To Dick Grayson, our hero, for saving Gotham." Bruce finished his drink, "And then, as is the tradition of the Wayne family, everyone has to say what they want to be grateful for." object."

Dick Grayson raised his glass first, and said to Barbara: "Thank you, my girlfriend, if there is one person in this world who can make my morning that is full of cereal flavors like heaven, then It's just you and of course our lives aren't always great because you have a dad who always wants to shoot me. But I'm happy around you so to Barbara Gordon who made My day becomes more beautiful."

Everyone banged on the table and laughed, then Barbara thanked her father, Professor X thanked Bruce, Magneto thanked her husband, Alfred and Clark thanked each other for helping each other in the kitchen While preparing the food, Tim thanked Lucy for bringing him a very worthwhile project.

"Investing in the entertainment industry is not as profitable as the manufacturing industry, but if the outlook is optimistic, Titan will develop rapidly in the first few years, but the profit will stabilize and gradually increase after about three years. We expect to reach an annual profit of 200 within ten years. Billion." Tim cut the meat, and they chatted about tens of billions of assets as easy as drinking saliva, "We also talked about some small ideas, professor, what do you think of making an X-Men version of a school musical?"

"You mean X-Glee?" Professor X said.

Lucy almost sprayed on the table with a sip of water: "That's almost what it means. The public has always kept a distance from mutants, but it doesn't mean they are not curious. This kind of popular drama may make ordinary people feel that mutants are real." As ordinary as they are."

Professor X sighed: "Yeah, ordinary adolescent boys and girls, struggling with abortion, threesome or coming out, do you know how many young people's trivial matters I have to deal with every day, I really don't want to hear these, but they His brain waves are too strong."

Your circle is so chaotic...

Lucy and Tim were speechless.

"If it is developed, the CW TV network will be willing to take over. They are keen to bring two people together and make them have an unclean relationship." Magneto snorted, and Lucy was surprised to find that Magneto could still joke. Pointing to Professor X, "He is the major shareholder of Warner, the CW executives must have approved this project without blinking an eye."

Tim said excitedly: "And it will save a lot of special effects funds. I heard that there is an Iceman in the X-Men. Think about the scene where he sings "Letitgo" while shooting frost, it is definitely enough!"

Professor X and Magneto made frustrated voices at the same time: "My God, that has already happened in reality, don't remind us!"

Everyone joked around for a while, and then it was Bucky Barnes, who wanted to thank Bruce Wayne for his hospitality, but the other party still looked at him with a bad face, and even Dick had settled down with him , Bucky didn't understand why Bruce was so dissatisfied with him.

So Bucky raised his glass: "Thanks to Lucy Lang, she got me my pension and my pension."

Dick couldn't help laughing, and Bucky continued: "Thank you for appearing in my life and allowing me to fall in love at the age of 90."

“我们想听听爱情故事，90岁老头和20岁女孩的忘年交是如何实现的，尤其在90岁老头还是个穷光蛋的前提下。”布鲁斯满怀恶意的说，那欠揍的腔调让连克拉克都Can't help but want to kick him.

"Bruce, why don't you tell us the story of how you slept with all the girls from the Royal Ballet of France and didn't get beaten to death by them?" Lucy asked maliciously, she couldn't let Bruce Teasing her relationship with Bucky like that.

"If you're willing to listen, I'd like to talk about it." Bucky said suddenly. He sat down and seemed to be lost in memory. His fingers tapped on the table, as if sorting out the timeline, and then found the time when the first love sprouted. "In the beginning our relationship was not as good as you think, the only thing I did when she needed help the most was throw her in a cell and tell her I needed her there. I don't regret my actions because I know I don't have a second choice. But I know I should have, I let her down, and I think she's still bitter about it. Because she's always wanted to limit the abilities of the Avengers and has worked tirelessly to learn how Fighting like us, I think part of the reason is that she is afraid that one day she will be thrown into a cell for no reason and has no power to resist."

Lucy's smile froze a bit. She didn't expect Bucky to see her little thoughts so clearly. She even convinced herself that all she did was to avoid possible civil wars in the future and avoid superheroes because of their abilities. And became a thorn in the side of the government, but she kept avoiding her selfishness, but Bucky saw it, he saw it but let everything happen.

She suddenly felt contemptible, but Bucky held her hand under the table and comforted her.

"Prisoner and cell, this story is good, please continue." Bruce laughed strangely.

"There are all kinds of beautiful female agents around me, and Lucy is very ordinary among them, but I can't help but look at her, I want to know what she wants to do, I ask her why To form the Titans, why do you want to disband the Avengers, she said, her only purpose is to want no more superheroes in the world." Bucky looked at his girlfriend eagerly, and every time he relived that scene, he wondered The respect of the woman in front of him will increase, and his love will also increase.

Bruce and others looked at Lucy with a hint of deep meaning.

"A lot of people see me as a hero, I understand that mentality, the science created by humans made me, and then they expect me to 'save' them, because after all I have four times the power of humans, and they hope that behind my back there will be no It hurts. But I just don't feel right, I'm just a tool in the name of a hero, and in the eyes of politicians, I'm still a handy weapon. But I... I refuse to be an umbrella, on the one hand A shield, or a missile or something, but I don't know how to say that to someone who trusts me." Bucky really didn't know how to put it, because it sounded like Captain America would look cowardly, which It doesn't match his usual tough image at all, "Only Lucy told me that she doesn't need my rescue, but in turn, I need her."

"Yes Lucy, I need you." Bucky turned his face, he raised Lucy's hand, and under the eyes of everyone, he kissed the back of Lucy's hand lightly, as solemnly as medieval knights to their ladies And affectionately, "I never told you why I love you, because I don't know when and where it came from, but I know it grows day by day, it's not a good love story, it doesn't include love at first sight and each other, but it's very reality."

The dining table fell silent, and after a long, long time, crisp applause sounded, it was Clark's applause, and Dick began to whistle.

"To the future hero Lucy Lang." Bruce also raised his glass, and everyone looked at Lucy with respect.

"A touching speech, captain." Barbara looked at Tim with a smile. "Timmy, you have to learn from Bucky. Only by saying such affectionate words like him can you win the girl's heart."

"I'm young and rich, which is enough to impress most girls in this world." Tim said indifferently, and Bruce was a little worried that his third son's dandy face was a bit too good.

"Don't you think Captain America can make a girl willing to give her heart to be successful by relying on her face?"

"That's not necessarily the case, I have to admit that until he finished saying that, I loved his body more." Lucy said half-jokingly.

The men present made a booing sound of "Ah—" and Bucky looked at Lucy with a smile: "So what now?"

Lucy and Bucky kiss in front of everyone, so lingering that Dick is jealous, and so sweet that Barbara is blinded.

"This is now, soldier."

A light cough sounded behind them, everyone was stunned, Jason Todd appeared in front of them holding a bouquet of flowers, Lucy had never seen Jason without a domino mask, he didn't look like Lucy As sharp and full of hostility as imagined, compared to Dick's outline, he is softer.

"Forgive me for coming uninvited." Jason handed the flowers to Alfred. He was still a little stiff and stubborn when he looked at Bruce. Lucy explained all this to Bucky in a low voice because the father and son were separated because of family trivial matters. Discord.Looking at the happy table, he felt that there was no place for him here, "I'm just passing by."

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Bruce whispered, "Come on, Jason, we've been waiting for you for a long time."

Jason froze, and Tim leaned back, revealing the seat between Dick and himself, the empty seat that was always left open every time.

Jason's eyes turned red.

"Okay, gentlemen, how about we spend the rest of the time digesting a sumptuous meal?" Alfred raised his voice, the sound of knives and forks rang again, and laughter echoed in the garden.

Clarke came up with a great idea for a VR superhero game, and there was a lot of buzz.

Bruce suggested that if Lucy wants to pass the superhero police project, first pass the city council. If New York succeeds, it will be implemented very well, because the mayor of New York has a great influence both in New York State and in Washington.

After Bucky heard that Clark was Bruce's secretary, he began to poach the other party's corner diligently, trying to get Clark to change jobs. Clark actually took this as a threat and asked Bruce for a raise.

After a cheerful meal, Jason left despite Bruce's forceful insistence. Before he left, he hugged his elder brother: "I didn't expect you to be the one who shot in the end."

"Barbara and I signed up for Quantico the day after you were buried, what do you think we were for. Everyone here, every day, every minute, wants to avenge you. None of us can Forget the pain of losing a loved one, especially Bruce." Dick's eyes turned red, and he patted Jason on the shoulder. "Come back, Jason. Bruce kept your room for you."

Bruce watched Dick close the door from a distance, he even heard the sound of Jason driving away on his motorcycle, how many times he heard that sound fade away, felt a part of his life drained, but this time was different, he knew It won't be long before the voice returns, and it stays at Wayne Manor, becoming a part of it.

"Tim's going to visit New York. He seems interested in Spider-Man," said Lucy, leaning against the stairs. "He's going to start a group of teenage heroes called the Teen Titans."

"The last time I came back from Washington, I just mentioned your plan to him." Bruce said, "I am very assured of Red Robin's ability."

Lucy waited there.

"The Wayne Foundation is responsible for all project funding," Bruce said.

Lucy finally nodded with satisfaction, and turned around with a smile.

"Lucy, come with me." Bruce stopped her, and he took her into the Batcave. To Lucy's surprise, Clark was also inside. He stood in front of a door, waiting for the two of them.

Bruce took a deep breath, and pushed Lucy into the door, a yellow light flashed, and Lucy felt pulled out by some force, and the sudden weightlessness made her almost vomit.But that was only for a split second, and the next second she fell to the ground, and then she realized that she was no longer in the Batcave, she was lying on the silver floor, surrounded by silver gray and light blue walls, she thought it was used. Made of high-precision space materials.

The yellow light flashed again, and both Clark and Bruce walked out of the door in bat suits. Clark pulled Lucy up with a smile: "It will inevitably feel uncomfortable for the first time."

"Where is this?" Lucy looked around, she saw a window, and when she walked over, she realized that it was dark outside, and the earth was not far away.

"It used to be called the Fortress of Solitude," Clark said. "It used to be a Kryptonian warship. The portal you just walked through came from its space transmission technology. We modified it and sent it into space. Obviously it It's not alone anymore, so we call it the Watchtower."

Bruce and Clark took her into the main control room, there was already someone there, a red phantom flashed, and a young guy in a red uniform stopped in front of the three of them, and he yelled like a child who discovered something new : "Ah, ah, green light! Aquaman! We have a new partner!"

"I'm Detective Allen, but you can call me Flash here. I speak a little fast, but you have to get used to it. After all, I'm best at being fast." Xi couldn't hear clearly, and the two other people he had just greeted also surrounded him.

The Green Lantern in the dark green uniform floats in the air, uses his green light ring to conjure an alien rose, and places it in Lucy's hand.The blond-haired, blue-eyed Neptune just nodded to Lucy, as if trying to speculate on her identity and credibility.

"Bruce, Clark." A soft, familiar female voice sounded from behind The Flash.

"Diana." Bruce called out the other person's name.

The Flash and the Green Lantern moved out of the way, and Diana Prince, Wonder Woman in her Amazon suit, turned from the lookout window, smiling enigmatically at them under the dappled starlight.

"Lucy, I have long felt that one day we will meet in this capacity."

The strongest heroes in the world stood together, and Lucy couldn't organize her words for a while.

Bruce looked at the other heroes: "Partners, this is our future new member, Lucy Lang."
