Chapter 058: Return to the Gotham Grand Theater
Activating the positioning element in the 'earbuds', the program shows that Thomas Wayne is heading towards Gotham City, and finally stops at the Gotham Grand Theater.
Even the one who secretly put a 'tracker' on Thomas Wayne didn't expect that after going around and around, the old Wayne actually returned to the Gotham Grand Theater. Now the situation is, it's clear that there's something special about the Gotham Theater, otherwise Wayne Sr. wouldn't have gone there.
Originally, Coulson also had doubts about this. Since Wayne Sr. was heading into Gotham City, he asked Skye to look at the cameras over there to check further. As a result, all the cameras in the vicinity of the Gotham Theater were vandalized for several blocks, after the Sabertooth Tiger had taken Lucius Fox hostage during the day, and the Gotham police had investigated the scene and left. In such a short period of time, such a 'project' is too big.
"It's not Hydra's style. And even if it's Hydra, it's only a Hydra agent under Death Knell, and we still don't expect him to make it easy for us. So now we can only assume that there is a third party, a third party with a lot of people out there. Coulson said to the players as he analyzed it in his own mind, "In order to find out what the situation is, Ward and I will sneak into the ......"
Before Coulson could finish his sentence, he was protested by everyone except Rhaegar and Ward.
The first is Fitz: "I don't think it's a good idea. ”
Skye was more direct: "Two people? Certainly not a good idea, that's suicide! ”
Simmons also spoke: "yes." As you said yourself, sir, there are quite a few third parties. Just you and Ward ......"
As a result, Coulson interrupted them in turn: "Do you have any other plan?" I'm open to new opinions! ”
There are naturally new opinions, such as not letting two people in? But when it comes to solutions to all current problems, that's a different story.
Fitz and Simmons looked at Rhaeggar, and Skye temporarily put down the mustard in his heart and looked over, after all, Rhaegar was 'resurrected' from the dead and casually positioned the old Wayne, giving them the feeling of being strategic.
It's a pity that that's just an illusion. To say 'strategizing' is an overestimation of Rhaegar. He's just a little quick-witted. And now, not to mention that there is no more time to plan, at least the strength of the two forces is on the table, and they are the weakest side, and one weakness is a big cut. In this case, haste is not needed.
Noticing Rhaegar's helplessness, Coulson was also a little disappointed. For a moment, he had hoped that Rhaegar would come up with a brilliant idea or something. Now...... He could only comfort Skye, Fitz, and Simmons in turn.
"Don't worry, we're not going to fight Deathstroke or that third party that might exist, we're just trying to get Thomas Wayne, or Bruce Wayne. And if we really can't do it, we won't force it. ”
Since Coulson had said so, Skye and the others had no choice but to go with him. Besides, he's the chief, isn't he? In contrast, Rhaegar was self-conscious. He knew that with his current injury, even if he repeatedly stated that he was still fighting, Coulson would definitely not take him with him. Besides, he himself felt that it was a suitable arrangement to leave a combat power to protect the Skye who were basically incapable in the event of an accident.
"It's a pity that Mei is not here, otherwise it would be more certain. She's a famous knight! ”
Fitz suddenly felt this sentence, and was unanimously stared at by his teammates.
And so it was settled. The SUV arrived at the outskirts of the area where the traffic cameras had been breached, and the group checked the communications equipment and the weapons that Coulson and Ward had brought with them. After confirming that everything was okay, Coulson, dressed in black, took advantage of the darkness and began to sneak into the Gotham Grand Theater a few blocks away. And the few people who stayed in the car, uh, they were talking about Rhaeggar's superpowers again.
"Rhaegar, you haven't finished talking about your superpowers before, now go ahead, how about it?"
"yes, yes, I'm curious. If the soul hypothesis is true, it will be a major breakthrough in science! You know, ghosts say that humans have been around for thousands of years, if only we could solve this problem......"
The two science babies spoke excitedly, and Rhaegar was happy to cooperate, selectively stating some of his abilities. Several times during this time, he tried to pull Skye into the conversation while quietly typing on the keyboard of his laptop, but Skye did not accept him. Obviously, she still can't let go of his concealment.
Before the crossing, Rhaegar was not a playboy, but he was an experienced one. But at that time, he was more of a joke. Now I finally decided to take it seriously, but I met a particularly wary person like Skye, who ...... I have to say, a little discouraged?
Let's not talk about Rhaegar who is worried about love and love for the first time, and not to mention Coulson and Ward, who are gradually approaching the Gotham Grand Theater through the night, let's just say that in the Gotham Grand Theater, Thomas Wayne's expression at this time is like seeing a ghost.
As the guy who single-handedly brought Wayne's business to the top, Wayne Sr. has seen all kinds of ups and downs, and in the past few years of looking for a cure for his son, he has even been exposed to some mysterious events or something. It stands to reason that there are very few things that can shock him, but now......
It's not because the basement he thought he had filled in is still there, it's not because the Gotham Theater that the other party told him when he was caught by the death knell was suspicious, and now it's confirmed that there is really a problem, but - there is no nutrition pod, and there is no external support, his son, who has been in a vegetative state for several years because of brain damage, is naturally standing in front of him!
"Bruce!"
Old Wayne couldn't help but shout, and was about to pounce on his son. However, he was about three feet away from Bruce Wayne when he was stopped by a man who suddenly appeared.
It was a guy with a bow and arrow hanging on his back in one hand, wearing a black coat, a black cloak and a black scarf, and his style was somewhat similar to the tall black man that Wayne Sr. had only seen twice in twenty years but was impressed.
Just thinking of this, the tall black man really came out of the darkness.
"Mr. Wayne, I'm surprised that I'm going to see you here." The tall black man said this, but there was not even the slightest hint of surprise in his tone. There are two possibilities here: one is that the person has suppressed his emotional fluctuations to a degree that is unsettling; The second is that the appearance of Wayne Sr. was originally in his plan.
Thomas Wayne didn't think much of it. He didn't even think about what the tall black man had done for him for a while. He only knew that his son could stand up, but he did not respond to his cries at all, and his eyes remained closed.
"What did you do to my son?!" He asked, his tone revealing his anxiety and worry.
"As you can see, I have healed your son of his physical wounds." The tall black man still had that bland and arrogant tone, "I finished the trading session on my side ahead of schedule, I think you should thank me." At the very least, you should show enough respect. ”
Hearing the tall black man say this, old Wayne also sobered up.
"So why did Bruce ...... Why is this the case? ”
"That's because his main trauma isn't physical. In fact, his situation was much more dire than I had imagined. "This time, the tall black man actually changed to a serious and solemn tone." So, I think it's time for us to change the terms of our deal. ”
