Chapter 44: Gotham (Part 2)
Gotham, after receiving a call from the old butler Alfred, Dick also took a leave of absence from the police station, and after talking to his girlfriend, he also went to Gotham to confirm the situation of his old father Batman. Of course, I also saw the battle between Kewen and the alien Faiz, and Dick didn't worry about the safety of his partner at all, rather than worrying about this, it was better to worry about not getting high when the time came, and the possibility of vaporizing the Pacific Ocean.
Dick, who rushed to Gotham overnight and came to the underground batcave at Wayne Manor, also saw Batman lying on a hospital bed.
"Oh, he looks terrible."
"Welcome back, Master Dick." Alfred, who was there to take care of Batman, saw Dick back and said hello to him.
"Alfred, Damian, Jonathan, what's going on, what about the others? I remember that there were quite a lot of people in my family before. ”
Saying hello to the old man, Dick also looked at his younger brother and his old father's godson, and at the same time looked around, it was still the same dark style, but the bat cave, which was originally quite lively, returned to the time when it was deserted before, and couldn't help asking.
"It's all right, but that's not the point."
"I know, what about Bruce, I've rarely seen anything like him."
Walking forward, looking at the old father who was still in a coma, Dick also frowned, this injury is not very good, and the frowning brow of the old butler Alfred also said it all. Confused, Dick also turned his head to look at Damian, the younger brother with an awkward personality but the most clinging to his father.
"Simple routine, get the criminals, search for the clown, and then the rope breaks, it's like an accident."
Damian replied to Dick's glance, with a cool little face with a hint of maturity. Obviously, he was also full of doubts about the accident caused by his father's rope breaking. The bat family is a group of ordinary people, and it is this piece of equipment that flies the eaves and walks the wall, so it is natural to check the quality. But the problem is in the quality, just this once, it also made Damian feel that something was wrong, at the level of his father, he broke a rope and fell like this, when he fought with Superman,
My father has long been beaten into a pie by Superman. However, his doubts had not yet been resolved, and the sound of footsteps coming from the steps of the Batcave had also attracted the attention of several people.
took Batman's daughter Helena to the field, and Catwoman Selena, who also rushed back after receiving Alfred's summons, also saw her lover lying on the hospital bed, stepped forward in three steps and two steps, looked at the unconscious Batman, and then asked Alfred.
"How bad it is, Alfred."
"I took care of the trauma, and it was fine, but I couldn't do anything about the brain injury inside, so he had to go to the hospital."
Little Jonathan, who was standing aside and looking at Helena who he cared about, also looked up and wondered: "Can Batman go to the hospital?" ”
"Of course not, but Playboy Bruce Wayne can, after Selena Kyle, who is suspected of being his girlfriend, was speeding down the highway in an 82 mph convertible and then got into a car accident?"
"40 miles is enough, and you'll take advantage of this time to strike first."
With a raised eyebrow, Dick also corrected Selena's statement, and at the same time spat out. Because the point of this sentence is not that Playboy has a car accident, but that Playboy travels with Selena Kyle, who is suspected of being his girlfriend, this is the focus of entertainment. And his old father, but there is more than one suspected girlfriend, this is planning to take advantage of the other two's absence, first set himself the identity of an eldest woman, thinking of this, Dick also has some sympathy for his old father lying on the hospital bed.
"I came first, Damian, don't frown here, it's almost Friday, hurry up and pick up Raven from the girls' school, Jonathan, I'll stay with Bruce during this time, take good care of Helena."
"Yes, sir! But then again, are you really skilled, did you have a plan ready from the beginning? ”
"That's what you have to learn, do everything with Plan B, rookie!" Damian on the side also replied to little Jonathan, and then left the bat cave, ready to change into clothes to pick up his bound wife.
Alfred, the old butler who had finished the emergency treatment, also picked up his phone and added, "I'll contact Dr. Thomas Elliott, I think it's time for Master Bruce to catch up with his old friend." ”
After making arrangements for the follow-up of Bruce Wayne, who had an accident, Dick also walked over to the Brother's Eye computer in the Batcave and began his work.
"So, I'm going to take over what Bruce didn't settle before, Alfred, do I still have my room?"
"It's always there, do you need to get new clothes this time, Master Dick?"
"No, it's just Nightwing."
Batman, who was temporarily unable to move, could only lie there, letting his confidante and his sons take over the rest of his work without knowing it, but in a coma, Batman was still frowning, as if he was having a nightmare.
On the other side, in Naxino City, Zatana, who left Covin's office, also came to the shopping mall alone, but waiting for her here was Kara and Lena, who temporarily left Nacino City and returned to the metropolis to take over the affairs of her missing brother's company. When she saw Lena also appearing here, Zatana couldn't help frowning, why is there another one?
"Why are you here, such a big company, don't care?"
"If a large enterprise can't run without me, then it should also go out of business, I'm just busy with the end of my brother's sudden disappearance that hasn't been dealt with, and after it's done, can't come out to relax? Oh yes, I forgot that you had nothing to do all the time, so you lived in someone's house to eat and drink. ”
The two of them, who hadn't seen each other for a while, came up with a greeting with guns and sticks, full of gunpowder. Instead, Kara, who took the initiative to ask the two out, took the sunny smile that the Superman family brings, pulled one in one hand, and insisted on taking the two of them to go shopping. It was a bit too inflated for Zatana and Lena to lose their temper and play hard in front of the Kryptonians.
Zatana and Lena, who were completely led by Carla alone, were a little unsure of Kara's veins, the kindest and the most powerful girl among the three, seemed to be a little different. Both girls, Zatana and Lena had more accurate intuition in this regard, and they looked at each other, both puzzled.
A girl-only event went on for a day, in which the girls bought their favorite cosmetics, tried on their favorite clothes, and ate their favorite food. Under the leadership of Kara, Zatana and Lena, who had been a little estranged because they hadn't seen each other for a while, also teased each other as before. Girl, that's how weird it is.
will have a common topic because of a sudden favorite cosmetics brand, an idol, and then slowly develop into good friends, girlfriends, and suddenly cold war because of a trivial thing, and then because of a trivial little thing, reconcile as before. Turning her face is faster than turning the sky, and Kara looks at the two who are as reconciled as ever, and she also smiles.
"Kara, you seem to have become a little different," the lights were on, and the three girls who had finished dinner wandered down the street, forming a beautiful landscape.
During this time, because she often deals with company affairs, Lena, who is more sensitive to interpersonal communication, also noticed the difference between this shopping and Kara. From the very beginning, Carla was leading the shopping organized by Kara, whether it was visiting a cosmetics store, a clothing store, or a snack, it was Kara who was the first to provoke the topic and arouse the interest of Lena and Zatana, so she found a place to sit there.
Order a drink with a small cake and talk about the interesting things of the past, which I didn't realize when I was shopping just now. When this shopping activity was about to end, Lena came back to her senses, looked at the smiling Kara, and was a little confused, is this still the Carla Danfoss she knows, how can that sunny and kind Supergirl play some psychological guidance and speech skills now. It's just that she can't ask it directly, so she can only ask from the side.
"Really? Maybe it's been a long time since I've seen you two good friends, and I'm a little excited, after all, in this world, I'm just your two good friends. ”
The words made Lena temporarily dispel the doubts in her heart, especially after looking at Kara's sunny smile, she really couldn't associate this smile with the word scheming. And Carla also looked at Zatana who was asking if there was a whole piece of Vita lemon tea in the convenience store, and her face was still the smile that could bring warmth to people, and she proposed there: "Anyway, let's surprise Kewen, he definitely didn't know that you were back, the three of us went directly to him, anyway, it's only seven o'clock, and there is still a lot of time to shop." ”
"Nice proposal, but let's talk about it first, if we go out together later, we won't use our abilities, I'd like to see how he does it."
Thinking of the fact that on Christmas Eve, Kewen came to the Metropolis to go out and relax for himself, a smile appeared on Lena's face, and she also proposed there.
"I agree with this, but I have to bring him this Vita lemon tea back first, this guy doesn't know how to stock up, drinking this is the same as drinking water."
Zatana, who bought lemon tea, was also there complaining about Kewen's dedication to drinks, and the three of them also took a taxi back to Kewen's office. With a little excitement, he opened the door and said, "Surprise! ”
It's just that in the office, there was no response from Ke Wen, and the moonlight spilled through the window on the desk where Ke Wen was, adding a bit of coldness, and the smiles of the girls also stopped abruptly at this moment and were fixed on their faces.
