Chapter Twenty-Seven: Kara Disappears
The next day, Cowen, who spent the night at Wayne Manor, was also about to go downstairs to enjoy the breakfast carefully prepared by the old butler Alfred, but when he went downstairs, he saw several familiar faces, the second generation Robin, the current Red Hood Jason Todd, the third generation Robin, who flew solo as a wonder boy, Tim Drake, who fought crime in the city of Brudon, and the original Robin, Dick, who sat there and ate a deflated meal yesterday.
"I'm just staying with you for one night, I don't have to wake up early in the morning to be a big party of the Bat family, I think it's better for me to flash first." For the three Robins gathered here at this time, Ke Wen was inexplicably a little uncomfortable, so he prepared to flash people, and the second-generation Robin Jason, who was dining there, also spoke.
"For a crumb knight who changed into bat armor as soon as he came to Gotham, you are barely a member of the bat family, if there is anything you are not used to, let's have breakfast together."
For Robin Jason Todd, who gave Batman the most headache, Kewen didn't expect him to say this, so he was stunned for a moment, and also sat down at the table and enjoyed breakfast. It's just that Kewen is also curious about why these two people came to Gotham.
"So you're coming back because of the Joker?"
"Or else? How long do you think Bruce will be able to hide this news, of course, it's not all clowns, Damian and Jonathan Jr. are also a reason, no matter how you say it's the youngest brother, is it possible that the elder brother doesn't appear here. โ
"I'm already connecting to the Brother's Eye computer to search for information about the Owl Court, and I believe there will be clues for us soon."
Batman's most obedient and least prominent Robin Tim of all generations was also eating there, connected to his PDA, where he searched for news about it. It's just that his inattentive performance made the old butler Alfred knock on his head and take away his handheld computer by the way.
"You don't need to do these things during breakfast, Master Tim."
was knocked by the old butler, and Tim could only pretend to deal with the breakfast in front of him, and the interaction between the old butler and Tim also made the bat family dinner party mixed with a certain crumb knight a little interesting. After breakfast, Jason and Tim went their separate ways, and the former Batgirl, who had become Jason's girlfriend, Barbara Gordon stayed in the Batcave and searched for all the information related to the Owl Court on the computer, and Jason and Tim went to check it for the first time.
And Cowen and Dick, who were attacked by the owl court at the beginning and targeted by the clown, became the two most idle people in Wayne Manor at this time. Leaning against the window, Dick looked at the scenery outside, still thinking about last night's battle with the Talon Leader, and his words, he seemed to know everything about himself, but he couldn't find anyone who matched the Talon Leader when he remembered the life he had experienced, including the memories of the old cosmic era.
"Hey, what do you want?" Just as Dick was still wondering who the self-aware claw leader was, Curvin's voice came from the side, pulling Dick's thoughts back.
Turning his head, he saw Ke Wen handing over a bottle of Vita Lemon Tea, with a bandage on his body, but he had been combined with Ke Wen many times, and he had a buff with a memory fit bonus, so that Dick's own physical fitness had surpassed ordinary people a lot, and this kind of injury that needed to lie in the hospital for about half a month, only rested for one night, and it was fine.
"Thanks, I was just wondering why those owl courts attacked me when I was in Nacino, and why did the clown find you. Judging from last night's situation, it is not only us who are affected by the memories of the old universe, but also Harley, and the two-faced man, so the clown is the same, but it shouldn't be, we saw the clown die with our own eyes, and the sulfuric acid pool completely devoured him. Is this clown a real clown? โ
For Cowen, who has long been a two-in-one partner, Dick doesn't mind telling more secrets, including his own doubts about the Joker's reappearance. Similarly, Cowen was not shy about telling Dick some secrets that he knew.
"I'm 100% sure it's him, the one who fell into the sulfuric acid pool, and the clown."
"How is it possible, he will come back from the dead?!"
"No, to be exact, there are three clowns in this universe."
This secret, which only Batman knows, also came out of Curwen's mouth at this moment, and perhaps the bug that Batman installed somewhere also heard Curwen tell the secret. But Kewen doesn't care, if you don't explain it to Dick, if a few of them fall into the clown's ambush during the operation, it will only be themselves who will regret it, and in the face of the clown, you must be prepared for everything, last night's lesson, one time is enough!
"How do you know?"
"Remember the last time I was topped by Darkseid? It's a bit miserable, but during that time, I really enjoyed the power of God, including the omniscient Mรถbius chair, although I didn't sit on it, but I could still do it by remote control and ask some questions, and what was the real identity of the clown, I was also curious, so I naturally asked. It's just that the answer I got was similar to what Batman got, it just told me that there were three Jokers, and he didn't say the names directly, so I didn't expect that there was something I didn't know about everything. โ
threw the pot to Darkseid, the black boss who has been behind the pot for 10,000 years, and he can't beat anyone anyway, so he has to hack Darkseid in this regard, and Kewen estimates that he will be happy to carry this pot.
"Because the Joker can be everyone, he always wanted to prove one thing, that if there is such a worst day, everyone can be him. Maybe that's why the Mobius Chair can't tell you the real name of the Joker, and it even seems to me that even if all three Jokers die, a fourth Joker will be born, after all, there will always be someone who has the worst day. โ
Dick, who fought with Batman and the Joker during Robin's time, has a deep understanding of why the Joker has no name. And Ke Wen was also rarely silent, because he suddenly found that this was a hurdle that could not be bypassed, the clown would always exist, he was a concept rooted in this universe, and it was a question of whether he had the ability to expel him.
"Okay, let's not talk about such a heavy topic for the time being, the first priority is to find out what this clown is doing now, and the location of the owl court is more important. But then again, you said that at this time, Bruce should have informed Superman, and I don't know what Superman will do at this time, after all, he is just an ordinary person now~"
"That's hard to say, it depends on how ruthless Superman is."
The two of them were teasing Superman and Batman at the Shura Field, and in fact, it was. On the top floor of the Wayne Enterprise, he landed in a helicopter, and Clark Kent, who was revealing his identity and preparing to participate in the presidential race, also stepped down from the helicopter. For the outside world, people only know that Superman is Clark Kent, but they don't know that Batman is Bruce Wayne, and at this time, Clark Kent, who has voiced that he will participate in the next presidential election, appears at Wayne Enterprises, which is a signal to the outside world.
As one of the world's several oligopolies, Wayne Enterprises seems to have to support Clark Kent, the superhuman president, and aside from the capital giant of Wayne Enterprises, Clark itself has enough advantages. As a superman, ten years of saving the world and saving the city, there are flaws, but the absolutely perfect personality charm makes him have enough popularity all over the world, let alone in his own country.
Once Superman does start participating in the election, he may become the first president in history to run full on the day of his candidacy, and with the backing of a capital giant Wayne Enterprises, then no matter who the other candidates are, they will not be able to sleep well at this time. But for Superman, who appeared at Wayne Enterprises at this time, he had to first be in front of many media outlets, flashlights, with a smile and some encouraging words with Bruce, who lost his son.
When the speech was over, the two of them took the elevator to the office belonging to Bruce Wayne together, surrounded by security guards, and the door was closed, leaving only Superman Clark Kent and Batman Bruce Wayne in the same room. Then, Clark punched Bruce directly in the face, although he lost his superhuman strength, but the physical fitness of Kryptonians was more than twenty times that of humans, and he could still fight, and the punch that was made in this way also made Bruce a little difficult to overcome.
"This punch, I was unhappy that I handed over my son to you, but you put him in danger before he was ready, including your own son."
After the fight, Clark also stood there and pulled Bruce up, while also consciously turning his face away, "Now, you can fight back, this is the punishment for the punch I just punched you too much." The overly conscious performance also made Bruce not have the idea of beating Clark, and after snorting, he returned to his position.
And Clark also consciously pulled the chair away and let Bruce sit down, and then got to the point.
"So now, we're dealing with an owl court that we don't know if it exists, and a clown hiding in the shadows, right?"
"It's me, not us."
"Don't talk to me like that again, Bruce, it's my son and yours who are implicated this time, and you need help. I don't want to see my best friend fall into misfortune again in this universe where happiness is possible, and then my happiness doesn't mean anything, you know. โ
Correcting Bruce's rhetoric, Clark also walked to the window and looked at the sun-bathed Gotham City, for Gotham City, such weather is no longer a rare phenomenon, and the citizens of Gotham are used to it. But for Clark, who has been to Gotham several times, it was still so shocking, with his hands behind his back, he also said there.
"The city is good now, maybe there is darkness, but there is also light, and you are no longer needed as a dark knight to guard the edges. I want to keep it like this, this cosmic trajectory that we started again, so, this time, if you let me go, I won't go, I bind you. Also, if you want, I can unleash my power now, I want to say that, even if the owl court..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Bruce. "Don't even think about it, your life is just as precious, there are so many things you can do as a human now, there is no need to use power, maybe this is exactly what they want, besides, I don't think they can be heard by you."
Clark was silent, because he knew that Bruce was right, his current self used his abilities were all kryptonite, and it didn't matter if he was consumed for a while, but if it lasted for one day, then he would at least reduce his life expectancy by one year. Just as Bruce and Clark began to think about what to do next, the sunlight shone on the office floor, and several shadows appeared on the light spots, which were rapidly expanding, and the two who noticed this change also left the window as soon as possible, and the glass also shattered when Bruce and Clark were far away.
The glass slag was all over the ground, and at the same time, the dark forces of the owl court hidden in the nursery rhymes and legends of Gotham City also sent several claws to appear in Bruce Wayne's office, looking at Bruce and Clarke, who were in suits and leather shoes at this time, showing their claws.
"They..."
"Yes, Owl Court, but I'm still skeptical."
On the other side, Curvin and Dick, who were chatting on the balcony, also saw Alfred with a serious expression coming over.
"What's going on, Alfred?"
"I think I need to see this, Master Kewen."
Well?! An ominous premonition also appeared in Ke Wen's heart.
In the lobby, Curvin and Dick watched the news on TV with serious expressions, which was happening in their city, and in the picture, the landmark building of Naxino, the Kate International Media Building, had been shattered, and a video clip was also playing. In the clip, Kara, dressed in a battle suit, fights the electric girl who unleashes lightning and the Kraken who emits huge, visual sound waves in the sky after saving the president who fell from the building.
With Kara's release of the heat gaze and lightning, the sound waves collided with each other, and a huge white light flashed in the night sky, and after the white light, a corner of the building was destroyed, and Kara's figure disappeared along with the electric girl and the Kraken. And the headline on the news is also very simple and straightforward, "A night of fierce fighting, Supergirl who guards the city disappears into white light, what about another hero?" ใ
"I think I've got to go back, do you want to come along?" The TV turned off, and a gray dimensional wall emerged from the side, and Ke Wen also asked Dick directly.
"I'm going to stay here, I need me here, be careful."
"I will."
The gray dimensional wall floated by, and he left directly from Wayne Manor with Curvin, and this scene was also seen by Jason, who just happened to rush back.
