Superhero Damage Control [Comprehensive]

"After you left that day, Mr. Wayne very enthusiastically introduced me to the customs and customs of Gotham, reassuring that it is actually very safe."

Bruce answered: "I didn't say safety, I mean that every city has its own characteristics, and the characteristic of Gotham is definitely not danger."

It's neurosis.

Clark continued to say enthusiastically: "Mr. Wayne is a person who loves Gotham very much. In order to prove that what he said is true, he invited me to visit Gotham."

Lucy: "..." At that time, she deliberately said that Batman would be deceived and let Wayne hear that she did have the idea of ​​letting Clark and Wayne meet in advance to cultivate their relationship so that they would not care about anything in case of a real war in the future, but This development caught her a little by surprise.

Bruce went on: "And this guy really fell in love with Gotham as he said, by serving dishes."

"It's a way of experiencing life, and for good reason, how many times do I have to tell you?" Clarke sighed, explaining to Lucy, "I found a house in Gotham , my neighbor was very nice to me, but one time I heard she was being harassed at the restaurant where she worked, so I took a job washing dishes in a bar and wanted to help her out."

Wayne began to snort disdainfully: "It's as simple and rude as a rescue dog."

Clark was annoyed by Bruce's rude taunt: "Bruce, we're talking."

"I'm chatting too, can't you tell?" Bruce took a sip of his wine boredly.

"I can see that you're trying to belittle me as much as possible in order to raise your image among women," Clark said sarcastically.

"Gentlemen!" Lucy put an end to the "quarrel" that was about to erupt between the two, and made a look of interest, "I just want to know what happened next."

Bruce then went on to say in that tone of braggadocio-status that Clark hated so much: "When I went to that restaurant later on, I found him serving plates, and for such a ridiculous reason. .”

Clark couldn't help saying, "That's not ridiculous, that's just."

"Clark, you are a famous college student and you have also been a journalist. You should do better than being a meat shield and a harassment alarm!" Bruce said simply, "In short, I threatened the boss who was suspected of harassing the waitress. To report that there are three illegal immigrants in his back kitchen, tell him to be honest, and then let him fire Clark and give him a job that is hundreds of times better than serving dishes."

Clark murmured, "I'd rather serve the plate."

Bruce raised his voice, "What did you say?"

Clark pretended not to say anything: "I mean I like challenging jobs."

Bruce rolled his eyes. He glanced around and stared in a certain direction. His body, which had been lazily leaning on the table, stood upright, like a cheetah staring at its prey. He turned to Clark and said, "I'm going to find someone." He took out the room card from his pocket and stuffed it into Clark's hand, "I don't need it anymore, you better use it."

Clark cooperatively took Lucy in another direction: "Tell me, Lucy, how did you suddenly become Captain America's girlfriend? I was horrified when I saw you on the headlines of the Gotham tabloids."

"Oh... that story is really long..."

Bruce walked to a colonnade, where he found Amanda Waller and Lex Luthor, and Luthor looked at Clark who had been joking with Lucy in the distance, showing the kind of robbed toy look With a look like a child, he said jealously: "This is the Kryptonian? Bruce, I'm so jealous of you, you have a Kryptonian! I don't even have a single Asgardian!"

"Go away, Lex, stop thinking about Kryptonians." Bruce said indifferently, Luthor shrugged and looked at Amanda innocently.

The three of them have disclosed their identities to each other. Lex knows that Bruce is Batman, Bruce knows the existence of the Eye of the Sky, and Amanda Waller also knows what Lex is doing. Although Bruce hates it, he has to say that he also appreciates Lu. Thur's forward-looking.They are bound together by a metahuman control project called Tower of Babel, which includes Clark Kent and other superhumans.

It was an accident that Bruce met Clark, and after that it wasn't, he put Clark directly under his direct supervision, just like Batman always "proclaimed" the sovereignty of Gotham, he never let Lex And Amanda had the opportunity to study Clark, and he did it for Clark's good.Because these two people are different from him, he was never afraid of superpowers, he was just afraid of them getting out of control, and Lex was fundamentally afraid of those forces beyond his understanding, thinking about how to let them self-destruct, Amanda?Not only is this woman not afraid, she also wants to keep them for herself every day.

To be honest, they hated each other terribly, and fate brought them together by force.

"Enough." Amanda was in no mood to argue with them, "General Ross disappeared."

"Disappeared??" Luther woke up, "Where did it disappear, where is the black box record?"

"We lost contact with the convoy halfway. We sent an emergency team to the accident site, but the scene was clean without even a tire mark."

"No one in the Surveillance Project can do that." Luther shook his head. "Even the Kryptonians would at least leave traces of a fight."

Bruce was tired of Luthor hooking everything on Clark: "Have you considered mutants? We don't have mutants in the Tower of Babel."

Luther frowned: "They are an autistic utopia, forming a small society of their own. Once they intervene in human affairs, it means war. They are small in number, so they won't be so stupid."

Bruce guessed: "What if it's an artificial mutant?"

Two others were piqued with interest.

Bruce continued: "Some time ago in Gotham, there was a pervert in a red tights. He called himself Deadpool. He seemed to have a strong self-healing factor, but his mind was not normal. He created a massacre in Gotham , just to find a guy named Ajax, have any of you heard of it?"

Waller hurriedly asked, "Where is that Deadpool?"

"We put him in a mental hospital," Bruce said. "I sent Professor X a letter asking him to take care of it."

One sentence extinguished Waller and Luthor's hopes of using Deadpool as a research object.

There is an unwritten rule in American political circles: don't care about, don't mention, and don't interfere with mutants.

In the last century, there was an American congressman who wanted to win the votes of ordinary people and openly opposed mutants. As a result, it was revealed that he had a mistress outside, received excessive political aid in private, and even did not report and pay taxes on the remuneration he gave for lectures. They were all dug out.

Back then, General William Stryker and scientist Trask secretly conducted mutant experiments with the tacit approval of the government. An informant called "Deep Throat" by the "Washington Post" revealed the incident to the reporter. The reporter dug up the famous "mutant abuse case". The main victim, Wolverine, was implanted with Aardman metal bones all over his body and suffered inhuman treatment. Everyone knows about this incident, and even ordinary people can't stand it Yes, marching in the streets in support of mutants.The United States was ridiculed at the United Nations. China and the Soviet Union excitedly organized and published hundreds of pages of the "American Human Rights Report" all over the world overnight. In the end, the Department of Justice directly intervened in the investigation of the White House and the Department of Defense and terminated it directly. After Nixon's fourth re-election, nine high court judges passed the "Mutant Protection Act" by a vote of 6 to 3, and thus the current China-China structure came into being.

Some people suspect that the mutants used their special abilities to dig out these private revelations, but when the astonishing facts are in front of them, who will explore how the information is obtained?

Don't mess with mutants, because they won't shoot you, they won't kill you, they will ruin your reputation, suspend your dreams and future.

This is a sentence that every Washington politician will keep in mind.

Due to the peace agreement between humans and mutants, the affairs of mutants have always been handled in accordance with the affairs of their own state, but if it involves disputes with ordinary people, there will be an open court to hear it, but at the same time, it is necessary to inform the mutant association, mutants The association will also send a team of lawyers to negotiate. The two parties may argue for three to four months on the issue of sentencing before the crime is finally ruled and publicly executed. After Professor X and Magneto shook hands to make peace, their demands on human society are simple: procedural justice and the enjoyment of basic human rights.

Human society can only provide them with this.

"Maybe Professor X can help us find some clues."

The last three can only reach such an agreement in this way.

After Amanda left, Bruce grabbed Luther: "I heard that you funded the Titans, what is your idea?"

Luther winked: "Maintain world peace."

"You think I'll believe it? That girl..." Bruce raised his chin and turned towards Lucy, "Is it your super soldier, Luther, your ambition is too big, you don't just want to study those superheroes , you still want to control them."

"It's a pity that you guessed wrong. The woman just told me clearly that I am not in her list of candidates for the council, and I cannot participate in any decision-making. Do you think I should find a way to withdraw my 20 billion , I think it's a bit of a waste." Luthor said regretfully, "You see, my super soldiers have never been as obedient as your Kryptonian secretary."

In the distance, Clark and Lucy talked and laughed together, and the two formed a very harmonious picture.

"I see her as an investment, maybe, she can really make a difference in the world?"

Luther left behind a light sentence and disappeared from behind the pillar.

Lucy finally finished telling the story of everything that happened after they parted, including Karen's death, she was injected with Extremis virus, and she described in detail and in a happy tone when she was locked up in a small prison called Clark. The modality of the name, but the guilt on Clark's face just grew.

"That's really a long story..." Clark sighed, and he lowered his head regretfully, "If you were suffering, I would just use a little bit of my ability."

"No, don't regret it, it's not your duty to save me, don't force it on yourself, you know, for you superheroes—maybe you're not counted, what I'm most afraid of is that you take saving as an obligation. But It is your right to save others, not your obligation." Lucy thought for a while, "It may be a bit cruel to say this, I hope all of you who have superpowers will use your abilities properly and carefully choose who you rescue. On the tree Got a kitten that won’t come down? Tell the firemen. What if there’s a robbery in Los Angeles? Call the police. What if there’s famine and riots in Africa?”

"Let it happen and die?"

Lucy looked at Clark's tangled eyes, and she was very sad. She was instigating a hero to abandon the noble side of his heart and accept reality: "Yes, let it happen like this. You can give food to a dying person, but you can't Transform poverty, you can stop a riot, but you can't change social conflicts. When you rescue them, it's just a fig leaf, and you can't change anything. Take Gotham, Batman can stop killing , to stop the looting, but as long as the judicial system remains that bad, those vicious incidents will happen again and again. So, Clark, endless rescues without choices are tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, and we have to kill the grass."

Clark's eyes began to roll wildly. He seemed to have something to say. Their voices were low, but he was still afraid of being heard. He took Lucy's arm and pulled her into a In the corner, Lucy looked at him inexplicably. Clark adjusted his glasses and touched his nose, hesitating whether to say or not.

Lucy looked at his funny look, and joked while drinking: "Okay, okay, I know you are a fan of Batman, but you don't need to be so excited, are you really going to find out if Batman has been cheated?" shot?"

"About the cheating incident, I have to say that it happens from time to time, but it has never been successful." Clark finally calmed down, drew a circle on his mouth with his fingers, and nodded firmly as a psychological hint , Those beautiful pure blue eyes looked into Lucy's heart from behind the lens.

Lucy's heart was lifted, and she thought, sure enough, it seems that Bruce is Batman, maybe Clark already knows.

However, Clark told her word by word: "Because I am Batman."

Lucy sprayed Clark's face with a sip of wine.
