Christmas. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As people all over the world know, for Americans, Christmas is the most important holiday of the year. Even in places like Gotham, the darkness seems to be dispelled a little by the festive atmosphere. The snow covered the dark city in a layer of silver, and the Gothic buildings were covered in white snow, and even the eerie atmosphere of Gotham seemed to be hidden by the snow.
Criminals also tend to have families. Even criminals, many need to stay with their loved ones on Christmas Eve.
It was Barbara's idea to have a Christmas party in the old Gordon family's house. Jim Gordon is busy and tireless all year round, and if he didn't have his daughter, he wouldn't have rested for three hundred and sixty-five days, even Christmas.
For Barbara, this day is especially significant.
Well, Roy certainly doesn't think so. Holidays, parties, and so on were a waste of time for him, as always, and he didn't think that criminals who really needed attention would stop because of Christmas. But Barbara took the party so seriously that he never expressed his opinion.
If she said it bluntly, she would be very angry......
At this moment, he was accompanying Kassandra and Barbara shopping in Gotham's largest shopping mall. Barbra was in high spirits, excited about Christmas presents and clothes for the Christmas sale, while Kasan was as silent as ever, but followed her with a smile.
It didn't take long for Roy to have shopping bags in his hands and a mountain of gift boxes in his arms. Of course, he doesn't feel very tired with his arm strength, but it's certainly not impossible to say that he is comfortable.
The second daughter didn't seem to have the intention of stopping, and continued to wander between the various special sale areas, and he could only follow helplessly.
"Woman...... What a hassle......
But even though he was here, his mind had already wandered to the unknown base of Cadmus.
Just recently, after helping Kara solve the nightmare incident and discover the dark version of Supergirl that was hidden by the government, he has not let up his investigation. Regarding the project called "Cadmus", according to the information provided by the general, it seems that it is studying some terrible things at the level of violations, and the dark version of Supergirl should also be inside this facility.
But the project is so mysterious that almost all those in the know have already been dealt with. Barbara hacked into the military's database, only to find that the content about the project had also been cleared.
It's like, a ghostly organization. It does exist, but its base facilities, personnel, and research content are all buried in the depths of the water, and there is no trace of it at all.
No, as long as it's man-made, it will definitely leave traces.
There must be something that I left out that could be used as a breakthrough......
Just thinking of this, a shout pulled him back to reality.
"Roy! I said, what are you doing," Barbra walked up to him dissatisfied, and behind her Kassandra leaned against a pillar with a smile like a play.
"Ah, I'm just ......"
"Thinking of Cadmus, huh?" Barbara let out a long sigh, "Well, I can't say I'm surprised, but ...... It's Christmas, Roy. Today, put down other things, take a good rest, and be like a normal person. ”
Roy smiled wryly: "Honestly...... I don't quite understand how ordinary people are supposed to live. ”
Barbara smiled charmingly, hooked one hand on his arm, and rested her head gently on his shoulder.
"It's okay, I'll teach you." She whispered, "Don't be so serious, Gotham wouldn't be fine without the Winged Knight for a night." And besides, and Batman, I'm pretty sure he's still flying around the rooftops right now......"
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly stopped talking.
Following her gaze, she happened to see Bruce, who was wearing a domineering suit customized by a famous brand, and was also like Roy in his hand, carrying large bags and small bags, holding a bunch of even more exaggerated shopping boxes. Compared to the stack in his hand, Roy was holding like a small mound under Tarzan.
Such an embarrassed Bruce, even Barbara is really the first time to see it, and he can't help but be a little stunned for a while......
"Bruce?" Barbara asked tentatively.
Although it is already extremely familiar, and the tailored suit should be unique, it is almost impossible to recognize the wrong person, but ......
Bruce also turned his head to see the three of them, and greeted with a rather strange expression, "Hi." ”
"So...... Which girl was lucky enough to be accompanied by the richest and most handsome man in Gotham? Barbara asked with a chuckle.
Bruce didn't answer, as if making a strange noise, and turned his head to the side. In a specialty store in that direction, a black-haired woman who was trying on a classic-style dress was pointing at the ridiculous bowler hat on the head of another graceful woman, and the black-haired woman seemed to be able to feel infinite femininity from a smile just by glimpsing it from the side.
"Oh?" Barbara burst out with a wicked laugh, "It can't be that I was hooked by a supermodel from some magazine, right?" ”
"Ahaha." Bruce snorted and didn't speak again.
Roy stared at him thoughtfully.
Sure enough, there are quirky ......
At this moment, the blonde girl in the store over there jumped up and waved her hand in this direction exaggeratedly.
"Come here! Bruce! She shouted, "We want all of this too!" ”
Bruce frowned, seemingly reluctant, but walked over to that side anyway. Everyone watched Bruce walk to the counter, and after watching the salesman count the dozen clothes and shoes that the two girls had selected, he reluctantly picked up his pen and began to sign one check after another.
Roy noticed from behind that his hand holding the pen trembled. It's not the trembling that should be when writing, but more like the slight shaking of the body that drives the slight tremor of the pen, and only a very sharp eye can notice this detail.
"Eh, looks like Bruce has a pretty chic Christmas, too!" Barbara Road.
Even Kassandra couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.
In the end, Bruce reluctantly picked up the new pile of shopping boxes and followed the lively second daughter. Roy kept his eyes on the black-haired woman's back for a long time, until she disappeared into the crowd before withdrawing his gaze.
"What? You're also fascinated by that supermodel? Barbara asked.
Roy shook his head slightly.
"It feels like ...... Where have you seen ......," Roy said, continuing to fall into a deep thought. (To be continued.) )
