"I don't think it's like you." After leaving the scene, Superman said to Batman, "I've never seen you give up the clues that are within reach."

Batman's voice became hoarse through the voice changer.

"Yes, I never give up any possible clues. But this time, I don't need these clues."

Superman: "You found Winter Lee?"

Batman returned to his Batmobile and took the time to reply, "She found me."

Superman: "???"

He had to hold the Batmobile with one hand, holding Batman momentarily away, so he could ask the following question: "Sorry, if I heard you right, did she find you??"

"But wasn't she the one who was kidnapped?"

Batman turned his head to look at Clark blankly: "I'll ask her about this when I get back, please let go now, Superman."

Superman quickly grasped the point: "She's at your house? Should we notify the Avengers?" Seeing Batman's uncurved mouth, Clark Kent quickly understood what his friend meant.

Clark Kent nodded: "I see, I don't know anything, I should go home now."

"God bless, the pizza I brought to Luis this time will never be seen again."

Superman let go of the Batmobile, waved to Batman, looked up at the sky slightly - the next second, there was only a trace of a gust of wind on the ground, and Superman was already thousands of meters away.

The Batmobile roared away.

When Bruce Wayne returned to Wayne Manor, Winter Lee had fallen asleep.

Alfred took Bruce Wayne's coat and smiled slightly: "Master Bruce, welcome home."

Bruce Wayne pressed, "Where is she?"

Alfred looked towards a guest room on the second floor: "I'm resting."

Bruce Wayne paused for a while, then nodded: "Then wait until she wakes up."

After all, Bruce Wayne went up the stairs, and Alfred reminded: "Master Bruce, before you come back, Miss Winter and I made some meals, do you want to try it?"

He added: "After all, Miss Winter has always wanted you to be more regular in your diet."

Bruce Wayne was a little helpless: "I know you have always hoped so."

Alfred nodded: "Yes, on this point, I share the same hatred with Miss Winter."

Bruce Wayne had to change his direction and sat down at the dining table on the first floor again.

Alfred was very satisfied when he saw this, and then brought appetizers and staple food for his young master.

Alfred said: "Miss Winter made the soup under my guidance, it should be to your liking."

For a moment, Bruce didn't know whether he should drink the soup or not.

He put down the spoon and had to emphasize to his butler: "Ah Fu, Li is just my friend, there is nothing complicated between us, you don't have to..." Bruce Wayne tried to find a suitable word to describe it, but I found that he was a little short of words.

Alfred was very calm: "Master Bruce, I don't mean anything else. I just want to say that at your age, master, you already know how to chase me for candy."

Bruce Wayne paused holding the spoon, and he said calmly: "Yes, in two years, I will live longer than my father."

Alfred didn't know what to say for a moment.

Bruce Wayne scooped up a spoonful of soup with a spoon, and stated calmly: "Ah Fu, I'm Bruce Wayne, and I'm also Batman. There's nothing to be happy about being with me."

The late lunch ended in a very dull atmosphere.

Bruce Wayne asked, "Why did she ask me for help?"

Alfred said, "It's a soldier."

Bruce Wayne raised his eyebrows slightly: "Soldier?"

"Yes, Master Bruce." Alfred nodded, "I've done face recognition comparisons. In 100 years, only one person has a matching rate of more than 90%."

Bruce Wayne frowned: "...who is it?"

Alfred: "James Barnes, a comrade-in-arms of Captain America Steve Rogers."

Bruce Wayne pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "If I remember correctly, almost all of Captain America's former comrades-in-arms should have passed away?"

Alfred nodded: "Yes, Lieutenant Barnes' information in the Captain America Memorial is indeed 'dead'."

Bruce was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "What kind of help did Li ask you for?"

Alfred: "It seems to be temporarily taking him in for two days."

Bruce Wayne said: "This is a dangerous man."

Alfred nodded: "Indeed, so I temporarily arranged people in the Batcave. Do we need to reject Miss Li's request?"

Bruce Wayne made a decision: "Wait, wait until she wakes up and listen to her reason."

After Bruce Wayne finished speaking, he planned to leave the table.After he walked a certain distance, Alfred said as if he just remembered something: "By the way, Master Bruce, there is one more thing I need to tell you."

Bruce Wayne stopped, turned to look at Alfred and waited.

Alfred pushed his glasses and said calmly, "Miss Winter is not an ordinary person."

Bruce Wayne was reminded of unpleasant memories by this sentence, he frowned and said, "I know, she is an Avenger."

"No, I'm not talking about that." Alfred added: "She's a mutant. According to my observations, she's most likely an Alpha-level mutant."

"According to the data in the Batcave, the alpha level is usually characterized by great strength and no significant defects in abilities-I think Miss Winter fully meets these characteristics."

Bruce Wayne: "...???"

Alfred finally said: "Do you know what Miss Winter was doing when I saw her?"

"She was moving this soldier who weighed at least 250 pounds, and everyone on the road ignored her."

He tidied his cuffs slowly: "What kind of person do you think can do this?"

"At least in my opinion, ordinary people can never do it."

Bruce Wayne said with difficulty: "...Isn't it the soldier who saved her?"

Alfred looked surprised: "Of course not. In fact, Miss Winter helped this soldier. I did a preliminary examination, and his brain has been deeply brainwashed."

Bruce opened the door of the guest room on the second floor with a very soft voice, which did not disturb the sleeping guests in the slightest.

He looked at Winter Lee who was sleeping with mixed emotions, and finally closed the door.

The sound of footsteps echoing in the corridor seemed to knock on his heart.Knock on his "self-esteem".

When Li Wente woke up, the sky was dyed orange red.

She rubbed her eyes first, looked at the completely unfamiliar Jing Jing around for a while, and it took a long time before she remembered where she was now.

Holding Harry Osborn's mobile phone, she dialed Bruce Wayne, but ended up contacting Mr. Alfred Pennyworth. Since there was no other person she could turn to for help, she had to ask Pennyworth Mr. Si asked for help.Fortunately, Alfred agreed to her request and drove to the appointed place to pick up her and the Winter Soldier.

This avoided a tragedy in which the Avengers dragged Hydra super soldiers to the streets.

Bruce Wayne's apartment in Gotham City was too eye-catching, and out of various considerations, Alfred Pennyworth took them in Wayne Manor.

To be reasonable, Li Wente is a little bit square.

This panic is like it is normal for you to go to a friend's house as a guest, but there is a reason why you are nervous when a friend invites you to his ancestral home.

So even though Mr. Pennyworth is very kind, Levent is still a little reserved.

This formality almost escalated into stiffness when she went downstairs and saw Bruce Wayne sitting on the sofa drinking tea, especially since Bruce Wayne looked...not very happy.

Fortunately, Alfred broke Li Wente's tension in time.

The considerate butler added black tea for his young master and said with a smile, "Miss Winter, would you like a cup?"

"It can help you relax a little bit."

Li Wente: "...Thank you."

When she sat next to Bruce Wayne and drank the cup of black tea to the end, she mustered up her courage, took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Wayne, thank you for your help!"

Bruce Wayne put down the book in his hand, stared at Li Wente for a while, Fang seemed to be indifferent and said: "You are an Avenger."

Li Wente gave an "uh", nodded and admitted: "Yes, I am."

Bruce Wayne's eyes were fixed on the page: "But you never mentioned it?"

Li Wente was a little confused: "The employee code doesn't say that you have to report your side job? It's just that you are not allowed to engage in similar industries, so as not to cause the leakage of corporate secrets?" She couldn't help looking at Alfred, seeking confirmation, "I Should I remember correctly?"

A Fu smiled slightly: "Yes, Miss Winter, you have memorized the employee rules quite well."

Bruce Wayne looked away from the page, looked at Li Wente, and said emotionally: "But you never mentioned it to me."

Li Wente felt a little wronged: "You didn't tell me that you are Batman? I have been very cooperative in helping you hide your identity—besides, you never asked me."

It seemed that he felt a little uncomfortable with Bruce Wayne's interrogating attitude, Li Wente emphasized: "I never deliberately concealed it."

Bruce Wayne looked at the aggrieved little girl, and Diana's previous evaluation came to mind.

She's not very good at lying, and if you insist on asking, she'll probably tell you the truth.

Batman sighed heavily, feeling that his unprovoked annoyance seemed childish.

As Li Wente said, he never asked, so it doesn't seem to be cheating.

A misunderstanding caused by the "self-confidence" of both parties.

Bruce stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, while Li Wente, who was sitting on the side, lowered his head and said nothing.Seeing this, Bruce paused for a moment rubbing his hands between his brows. He looked at the silent little girl, and couldn't help feeling a little soft-hearted.

He sighed, slowed down his tone, and asked just as the other party complained before: "Winter Lee, are you a member of the Avengers?"

Li Wente stared at the teacup and said quickly: "Yes, I am."

Bruce Wayne couldn't help laughing a little when he saw this.He stretched out his hand to Li Wente, thought for a while and said, "Hello Avenger, I'm Batman."

Li Wente looked at the other party's outstretched hand, raised his head to look at the calm-faced Bruce Wayne, and then pursed his lips: "Sorry, Mr. Wayne."

Bruce Wayne nodded slightly: "Me too." He didn't take back his outstretched hand, and smiled slightly, "So are we even now?"

Li Wente took Bruce Wayne's outstretched hand, and her hand was folded on the other's palm, looking slender and fragile.

Li Wente smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. Batman. I am Wente Li, a new member of the Avengers. It is a great honor to meet you."

With the misunderstanding resolved, the next step is business.

Li Wente succinctly introduced the situation of the Winter Soldier to Batman, and made his own request.

Li Wente said: "For some reasons, I can't bring him back to the Avengers Alliance for the time being, so I hope you can temporarily take him in for a night, and I will take him away tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Bruce Wayne reminded, "As far as I know, you are temporarily living in New York, and what happens in New York, no matter how big or small, cannot escape the sight of the Avengers."

"Yes, so after I get Professor X's address from Mr. Stark tomorrow, I will send him to see Professor X first." As he spoke, Li Wente couldn't help looking at the monitor beside him, which was playing Image of the Winter Soldier.He was locked in the Batcave, still in a coma.

Li Wente said: "Professor X can help him restore his memory and completely get rid of Hydra's brainwashing of him."

"When he regains his self-awareness, things will be easy to handle."

Li Wente said silently in his heart, when the Winter Soldier turned back into James Barnes again, it was up to him whether to leave or stay.Whether he chooses to meet Captain America or Tony Stark is his choice.

Although Li Wente can almost guess, whether it is in the movie or in the comics...James Barnes who is on trial is chosen...which way he will probably choose.
