Roy parked the batmobile at the stronghold, stripped off all his gear, changed back into civilian clothes, and walked back to the apartment.

The base is also very close to the apartment, only about three minutes away. Three minutes later, Roy had turned the lock and returned to the apartment.

He strode straight to the fridge, flipped out a bottle of drink and an empty glass, and threw his head up to settle a full glass of orange juice.

"I didn't get a drop of water tonight, and I felt so thirsty that I felt so bad. Would you like a drink? Roy shook his drained cup towards Barbara.

Barbara asked with a strange expression, "So you're going to arrest Catwoman Selena?" Kyle? ”

"Nope." Roy replied dryly.

"Why? She's a thief, isn't she? Barbara asked, "What does it make you feel different from the other criminals you arrest?" ”

Roy shrugged: "We just fought each other, she's very difficult to deal with, and I may not be able to take her if I get entangled for a long time." ”

In fact, Barbara originally had approval in her heart. With such a short period of kung fu training, he can now compete with the famous Catwoman, and Roy's progress is actually very fast. However, she was in no mood to praise this now

"But you have proof of her identity!" "You have enough evidence to make this public, to prove her guilt." ”

"And then? Wanted? Roy smiled, "She has that ability, the police can't catch her." Moreover, even if we make her name a household name throughout the country, she can change her identity at will, which should not be difficult to do with her ability. Plastering her headshots all over the streets? You know, it's hard to recognize a woman when she wears makeup, not to mention that she still has plastic surgery to choose? ”

Barbara was silent for a moment and said, "It's not just because of that, right?" I'll admit that you do have some truth in what you say. But what if we're not talking about Catwoman, not Selena? Kyle, or any other prisoner, would you still make that choice? ”

"No, I'll issue a wanted warrant across the territory." Roy said crisply.

"So why"

"Because she makes me curious." Roy said, "Batman has always known her identity, but he has always allowed such a snitch to do whatever he wants in his own territory. Why? Batman can't take her mother? No, no, I don't think so. Is there anything special about her? This seems to be the only explanation. So I wonder, what is so special about her? Why did Batman turn a blind eye to her? ”

"So you mean she's just a research object you're curious about." Barbara said.

"It seems like that."

"And you're sure it's not because she's sexy and kisses you unexpectedly." Barbara said in a stiff tone, then raised her tone and said, "Oh, look what I'm talking about, you think I care about this?" Of course I don't care, yes, why would I care? ”

After saying this to herself, she turned around in her wheelchair and drove towards the room.

Roy frowned and called out to her in a questioning tone, "Barbara? ”

"Huh?" Barbara turned half of her head to the side, her red hair covering half of her face, and she looked very beautiful in the light.

"Are you alright?"

"Well, what's the reason for not being good?"

"I don't know." Roy said, "You just sound weird. ”

Barbara took a deep breath with her back to him, turned the wheelchair to the side, and faced him, "Please, detective, how could you not know?" ”

"I might be able to play dumb and tell myself nothing. But you, you are a unique detective, you can draw a series of conclusions through the slightest detail, you can understand a person just by reading, how can you not know? ”

Roy was silent.

"As a detective, I may not be as good as you. But even I felt that I couldn't fool myself, and the thoughts that were unconsciously revealed in my psyche were naturally refracted into actions and words, and I didn't even need to have a lot of advanced psychological knowledge to see through myself, and I could feel that something was changing between us. You're probably one of the best detectives I've ever seen in my life, and you're trying to lie to me that you haven't seen anything in all these days? ”

Barbara turned over the words hidden in her heart in one breath out of control, and even felt that she couldn't believe it after saying it, and only thought in her head, "I actually said that".

She looked at Roy with a little trepidation, and a certain part of her heart was actually afraid of his response.

Roy seemed to organize the language, and after a moment of deliberation, he admitted, "Yes, I can see it. ”

Immediately, he said, "You are my teacher, a very good teacher, Barbara." You taught me the tricks of flying cornices, stealth sneak attacks, and the art of fighting, and I don't think I can put into words how grateful I am. And you as my assistant, I have always felt that you are a very good assistant, and your help makes me feel as if I have found the last part that I have been missing since I was a detective, and I could not have asked for a better helper. I also have to say thank you for that. But "

He paused and said, "Because of this, I cherish our current relationship and have the will to continue it that way." Yes, as you said, I can see that you are looking forward to another step forward in our relationship, but I just don't want my relationship with my partner to be so complicated just yet. I guess I'm just not ready yet. ”

When he finished speaking, he stared at Barbara and said no more.

Barbara's expression was stiff and didn't change much, and she said, "Then I guess that's your unique way of saying 'no'." ”

"I'm sorry." Roy said.

Barbara turned back to the bedroom and said, "Go to bed early, then." ”

The "Eye of Hevestos" was safely recaptured. The next morning, Roy returned the gem to Pete? In the hands of Mr. Smith himself. Although there are still doubts about the true identity of the prisoner and the specific process of Roy's recovery of the gem, he still expresses his gratitude to Roy for his help. He wrote a check for ten million on the spot and handed it to Roy.

As for Selena? Kyle, Roy also went to her residence in casual clothes to see it once. She's gone, maybe out of Gotham, or maybe just in a different place. But even after leaving Gotham, Roy is sure she'll be back soon. It shouldn't be hard to find her whereabouts if he tracked it down, but he wasn't interested in that anymore.

And Selena? That's it for Kyle's first encounter. Roy later admitted that his first encounter with Selena did make a deep impression on him, and he was willing to call her "a thief like no other".
