After Eric and Revane finally evacuate the base in Antarctica, the facility collapses almost as soon as they leave, and the young superheroes' first active counterattack against NOWHERE is a complete victory. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But of course, it is not without regrets. After the battle, it took a lot of effort to almost turn the base upside down, but all they found was a group of low-level trash fish that were wounded to death, and Omega himself or the Scarlet Witch who had been knocked out in the battle were nowhere to be found.

By the very least, Dr. Charlotte's bionic body slipped away again. However, it made Eric even more certain that someone else was secretly helping him, and it was hard to imagine that the android had regained his senses and managed to escape.

In any case, the incident should be over for the time being. Even if the NOWHERE organization didn't collapse, this raid must have hurt them a lot, and it should stop for a while.

A day later, Nightwing was in his stronghold in New York.

Most of the teenagers rescued from the last raid were chosen to return to their lives after regaining their freedom and left on their own, leaving behind not only Eric, Raven, Nightwing, Wonder Girl, Blue Beetle, and Lightning Kid, but also Jessica and Kitty who were rescued.

This is not an unexpected result - Kitty is already struggling with the sudden discovery of her own future as a mutant, and the encounter with so many people her age may be the opportunity that God has prepared for her; Jessica also lost her only job for Fury after Nick Fury stepped down, and it seems like a good choice to live with so many young people in a similar situation to herself.

After gathering everyone on the couch in the hall, Nightwing came to the middle of the crowd and cleared his throat, "Well, I'm sure everyone knows what we're going to discuss today...... It's about our future decisions that determine where we're going to be the Young Titans. ”

"'Teen Titans.'" Bart sat cross-legged on the edge of the couch and interjected, "Is this the name you came up with yesterday after spending all night sleeping?" ”

"Just came up with it." Nightwing glanced at him and said lightly, "It doesn't matter. The topic to be decided now is who will lead the team? ”

"Since you've brought it up like that, I guess you want to carry this banner with honor, right?" Kahi smiled sarcastically.

Nightwing said lightly: "I didn't say that, I just hope that we can select the most suitable person to lead this team." Not only does he need to be decisive and leader, but he also needs to be able to think about the big picture from the perspective of the team, and be prepared for all kinds of situations that the team may encounter......

"It sounds like you're describing yourself without shame." Kash said without giving face, turning his gaze to Eric, "I think he's better suited than you." Eric is the one who brought us together, isn't he? It's because of him that all of us get together, and then we go to battle together under his command, so why shouldn't Eric be the leader? ”

"I'm against it." Before Nightwing could speak, the blue beetle rushed to speak, staring at Eric and saying coldly, "Did you know that this guy has long known that a certain organization is going on a ramp to hunt down his own people, but has been indifferent? ”

All eyes focused on Eric.

"Is what he said true?" There was also a hint of skepticism in Bart's questioning tone.

"Ah, indeed, I admit it." Eric replied lightly, "There's nothing to hide, it's like when you ask me why I didn't go to the Middle East to stop the terrorists from killing the villagers, I don't feel the need to defend myself." ”

Reyes stood up awkwardly, "Do you know what happened in that base when you were idle?" Do you know how many children my age have been tortured to death? ”

"I'm sorry for what happened to you, but there's nothing to be sorry for." Eric shrugged, "If you have to say, injustice happens all the time on Earth, and countless people are suffering all the time, and I can't save them all." ”

He paused, stood up, and patted the blue beetle on the shoulder.

"I see, if you must insist, then I'll quit from here, okay?"

Nightwing opened his mouth to say something, but Eric waved his hand to stop.

"It's okay, in fact, what I wanted to do at the beginning was just to integrate resources and gather existing forces to fight against the NOWHERE organization, and now my purpose is completed." He said, turning to Reyes, "But in the end, it's a piece of advice—try not to be a hero with the mind you are trying to save everyone now, because one day you'll end yourself in tragedy." ”

"I don't need you to tell me how." Reyes shook his hand off his shoulder and said unceremoniously.

Eric shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and actually walked across the hall towards the door.

But he didn't have any regrets, as he said, he didn't want to join the Teen Titans in the first place, all he did was put together the resources that could be used to fight NOWHERE.

Seeing that Eric was about to leave, Raven stood up without saying a word and prepared to follow.

"You'd better stay if you want." Eric paused, turned to her, and said, "You don't have to follow me to decide. ”

"If you don't care, I don't care." Raven said lightly.

"But it's also an opportunity for you, right?" Eric smiled and said, "Haven't you always wanted to make friends like a normal person?" This is your chance. ”

Raven didn't speak, but seemed to hesitate.

Eric patted her on the shoulder, "I'll be glad you've made more new friends." Don't put on such a face, it won't make any difference in our relationship. ”

After saying that, he smiled slightly, touched her head, turned around and went out.

It was already dark outside when he came out of the colony, and Eric went straight home.

He took out the key to open the door, and just walked into the living room, before he turned on the light, he stopped in the hallway at the door.

"Who?" He asked in a low voice into the darkness of the living room in front of him.

"Don't be nervous, kid." The woman wrapped from head to toe in clothes almost darker than the surroundings stood up from the couch, and the voice seemed to ring in Eric's head.

"I just have something I want to talk to you about."

Eric's pupils shrank and froze in place.

"Mom...... Mom? ”
