"Huh"

The roller shutter door of Mason's shop was opened, revealing the small shop in front of Poison Ivy.

Harley was familiar with the place, so she walked in with her patient and friend, probably thinking that she would want to live here for a long time to come, so she took the initiative to pick up the vacuum cleaner and start cleaning the upper and lower floors.

I'm ashamed to say it.

Mason had started the shop to look like a normal person and have a place to stay, but he had lived here for a handful of years.

In fact, Mason hadn't slept in a long time since he had such a thing as a Vitality Potion.

At this time, he stayed outside the shop and looked at the crime alley behind him, this is the area of Gotham City that is not safe and secure, and it is naturally one of the sources of chaos in the chaos tonight.

There are still burning embers on the street, and several nearby stores have suffered "zero-dollar purchases".

However, there is a large group of guys tied to telephone poles not far away, and judging by their blue noses, swollen faces and unconscious, it is likely that some superhero "passed by" and cleaned up the place.

"Toot"

The old phone that Mason had put in his pocket, given by Alfred, vibrated for a moment, he felt for it, looked at it, and turned it on, and the kite man's muffled voice came from inside.

"Boss, Mr. Sandstorm seems to be hanging."

"Huh? Like?"

Mason raised an eyebrow:

"Elaborate."

"I glided over and saw him trapped by Green Arrow and Batman with some kind of magnetic weapon, and was knocked through the sand by Flash with a glowing punch when he couldn't break free.

Then he detonated some kind of bomb.

Turning an entire neighborhood into a desert-like scene, he himself became a sand sculpture and then collapsed when the wind blew it.

Now that Green Arrow is cleaning up the battlefield there, the Flash is in town to help Chief Gordon maintain order, and it is said that the nearby National Guard is about to enter the city.

The Bat Master seems to be in a hurry to leave."

The kite man was like a live broadcast, and he retold what he saw in a tone that was not too big to watch.

Mason pursed his lips, feeling a little more relaxed but he didn't feel like Mr. Sandstorm was a reckless man, and he felt that this might not be over yet.

So he said to the kite man,

"You come to my hut first, leave it at the Iceberg Bar for the time being, and then go back when these things are over."

"I've got to go see my son first, boss."

The kite man said apologetically:

"I left him in Poison Ivy's secret base when I left, there are still a lot of people she rescued, and I will go to your side in the early morning."

"Okay."

Mason has no objection to this.

He knew that for Charles now, his teenage son was his lifeline.

After completing his communication with the Kite Man, Mason returned to the basement of the shop and began to work on a batch of "healing kits" for Poison Ivy Girl, including palliatives, euphorics, and tranquilizers.

He had also asked Poison Ivy why the potion worked so much better on her than the others.

Poison ivy speculated that it might be because she was more intrinsically connected to nature, so this potion, which was closer to the essence of nature without adding modern chemical products, could produce several times the effect on her, and it would last longer than the average person.

This phenomenon made Mason very curious.

He plans to find a way to study the strange physique of the Poison Ivy Girl in his spare time, which may also be a breakthrough in his alchemy.

The Poison Ivy Woman watched the whole process of alchemy in the basement, and she was very interested in this ancient knowledge displayed by Mason, and Mason was happy to teach.

But Ivy didn't have a "personal manufacturing goldfinger" system, and the obscure introductory formula for alchemy alone had to be studied for a long time.

The combination and effectiveness of various herbs are the big pit in the big pit.

But this aunt

Mason's ability to ripen plants makes her ideal for being the leader of Team K's potions field, and after seeing Ivy ripen a batch of horseshoe seeds to germinate in ten minutes, Mason's eyes on Poison Ivy become more and more intense.

He had already begun to seriously consider the possibility of La Ivy joining the gang.

"Mason, there's a guest."

Outside the door, Dr. Hallie's slightly panicked shouts interrupted Mason's alchemy teaching to Poison Ivy.

He raised an eyebrow and got up and walked out of the basement, still wondering who would be visiting his little shop at this dawn hour, when he walked up to the ground floor to take a closer look.

Yo, acquaintance.

"Hi Mason."

Dressed in a red leotard and yellow combat boots, the Flash held a cup of coffee and leaned on the counter of Cooper's shop very relaxedly, greeting the young man very friendly.

Next to him, Dr. Hallie was tiptoeing on her phone to try to take a selfie with The Flash, apparently interested in the superhero.

"Batman told me to retrieve that extremely dangerous thing from you."

The Flash took a sip of coffee and took a picture with Harley with a smile before explaining to Mason:

"It's not that I don't trust you, but I have to take it to a safer place and keep it."

"That's as it should be."

Mason didn't show any dissatisfaction.

He and the Flash walked outside the shop and took the biovirus missile out of his magic suitcase, saying:

"Actually, even if you don't come, I'll reach out to you. This thing is beyond the limits of what my engineering and alchemy can handle.

It's really, really dangerous.

In particular, the seven chemical and biological weapons warheads that are filled inside."

The young man patted the gray slender missile beside him very seriously, and said to the flash in front of him:

"My knowledge of alchemy tells me that if this thing is leaked, it will cause quite a terrible natural disaster, and maybe even a strong man like you who stands at the top of superheroes will not be able to resist it.

I know you take it seriously, but I want you to be more serious."

"yes, we will."

The Flash nodded.

He stretched out his hand to put it on the cold weapon, and before activating the completely unscientific speed force to leave, the fellow, who looked not very old, suddenly turned his head to Mason and said:

"I just met with Mr. Lucius, and he told me that the zombie virus vaccine sent by Str Labs was a great success, but I knew that it was a half-finished product, and someone was secretly helping them.

Mason, can you tell me how you did that?"

The Flash asked with interest:

"How did you come up with the idea of tweaking the ingredients in that vaccine to make it work better? To be honest, I was involved in the development of that dose of the vaccine, so maybe we can talk about that?"

"Well, I don't think so."

Mason gave the Flash a strange look in his eyes.

He pulled out his irregularly shaped gray alchemy stone and said to the Flash:

"I use the ancient wisdom of alchemy.

This alchemy stone can extract all potions, all I have to do is put it in your medicine sample, and wait ten minutes, and it will infuse the medicine with "magical powers".

Therefore, the successful development of the vaccine has nothing to do with me.

My friend, you! You're the real hero, Flash."

"But you're providing this vital transformant, even though it does sound unscientific."

The Flash stared at the gray alchemy stone in Mason's hand, the young man smiled, handed the alchemy stone with only two uses left to the Flash, and said:

"Take it and study it, don't be embarrassed, this is what the city owes you. If you do get out of the way, remember to give me a copy of the results."

"Hah, that's it

。」

The Flash laughed.

The young man, known as the Green Lantern and the Green Lantern, waved his hand at Mason in a dashing manner, and then with a whoosh, he disappeared along with the biological missile on the side of the road in Crime Alley.

He also took away the gangsters and criminals who were knocked out and tied up by Green Arrow and sent them back to where they should go.

"Speedy power..."

Mason looked at the direction in which the Flash disappeared, and said with some excitement:

"If I could replicate this ability, even if it's just a supersonic Mercedes... Tsk, sure enough, there is everything in the dream."

He shook his head and turned back to the shop, told Harley, who was standing behind the counter and was napping, to go to rest, and dropped the roller shutter door to get out of the potion before going to work.

The city has just experienced a night of chaos, and Dr. Leslie's clinic is definitely going to be busy today.

Mason didn't want to miss out on this great opportunity for first-aid skills.

"Ahem"

In the forest and river outside Gotham, Ms. Talia coughed and was dragged out of the water by a pair of powerful arms.

She hid in the water for nearly three hours to dodge the bat drone that had been hovering nearby, but it was also an unbearable ordeal for a Master Assassin who had been stabbed three times by a rival in love.

She had already started to have a high fever, and her whole body was weak and she had no strength at all.

Luckily, I had a companion by my side.

The Scarlet Knights, aka Jason Todd, are in a much better situation than Talia.

He didn't suffer any serious injuries when he fled Arkham, although being beaten by the old man still left him covered in bruises and scars.

He led Talia into a cave and lit a fire, taking out the medicine he had with him to treat the woman.

Because he was soaking wet, the whole process was "fragrant", but Jason Todd was expressionless throughout the whole process, and even showed great restraint when administering first aid to Talia.

He didn't seem to have any interest in the charming woman in front of him.

At dawn, Talia finally woke up.

The after-effects of a high fever still make her weak, but as the daughter of the Master of the League of Assassins and the King of Assassins, her physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people, and she has even touched the threshold of "superhuman".

As long as it wasn't a fatal injury, she could heal in a few days.

Talia, clad in a tattered cloak, sat up and saw Jason Todd sitting cross-legged by the campfire.

The young man no longer had the mania and anger he had had when he had fought against the old man, and he would sit by the fire in despair, his eyes staring at the flames dancing in front of him.

It seems that he doesn't care about everything around him anymore.

"Are you going to get out of here with me?"

Talia coughed a few times and asked.

Jason did not reply, and the Master Assassin continued:

"Your current situation is the best choice to go back to Nandarbat, my father is dead, he is immortal, just be patient and wait for him to be reborn in the pool of Lazarus and continue to lead us.

Jason, this defeat is just—"

"My collaboration with you is over."

Jason said indifferently:

"This is what I said before! I didn't save you because I wanted to convey kindness to the Assassin League, but because of us... Forget it, that's not a good thing.

Rest here, I'll leave right away, don't come back to me again!"

If you dare to come near me, you will do so at your own peril!"

This answer made Talia frown.

She said in a cold voice:

"We're resurrecting you, Jason, and you're not going to want to repay it for the rest of your life! You have the mark of an assassin on you, and you will always be one of us."

"Like Batman?"

Jason sneered and said:

"He has your mark on him, too! But he shattered all your arrogant illusions a few hours ago.

Talia, you're just a bunch of losers, maybe once illustrious, but you've never won a single victory in Batman's hands since Batman's rise!

I've warned you before that outsiders aren't good people to work with.

They're just using you to achieve their goals, and even a young man like me can see the truth, and your father, who lived for nearly nine centuries, is kept in the dark.

It turns out that Batman taught me more vision than what you taught me."

"Ah, Jason..."

Talia sighed and said:

"You think you've seen it all, but you still don't understand anything.

Forget it, you can leave if you want, you will continue to be entangled with that man in Gotham, and I see the loneliness of loneliness and abandonment in your eyes.

The more you hate him, the more you desire him.

What a greedy and pathetic child.

But I have something to ask you, not as Master of the League of Assassins, but as Talia. Until I return to this city, I want you to help me keep an eye on my son.

Damian returned to his father's arms.

This is something I've been planning all along, and I'm not going to try to reverse it anymore."

"Batman will change him!"

Jason stood up and said:

"Just as he changed me, your son will eventually choose to leave you, Talia. Because you're cold-blooded, you're not a good mother at all."

"The fledgling has to learn to fly alone, and if he is able to get rid of me, it will only mean that my son has finally grown up and is better than I thought.

I will only keep my grief to myself and bless my son for doing great things in this world."

The Master Assassin smiled, was silent for a few seconds, and said to Jason:

"Do you want to hug me? Jason, this may be the last time we'll be alone together."

"That's enough!"

Jason gritted his teeth and took a few steps back.

Looking at the woman with long hair in front of him, he said categorically:

"Forget those things! It was just something that shouldn't have happened under the confusion and confusion of my mind when I was born again! You're Damian's mother and Bruce's lover...

I shouldn't have done that!"

"Huh."

Talia laughed meaningfully and said:

"You see Batman as your father, and my relationship with him is equivalent to that of yours too... Jason, Jason, you're such a duplicitous young man, and I still remember the helpless look you had that night when you called out to your mother in my arms, like a stubborn little bird that didn't grow up.

Well, don't look at me so angrily.

I won't tease you.

Tell me what you're going to do next?

I see in your eyes an unending rage, and you seem to have transferred your hatred to another person, and with all due respect, it doesn't seem wise to make such a choice after just experiencing a defeat."

"Mason Cooper!"

The Scarlet Knight did not hide it, he said:

"He ruined my showdown with Bruce, he snatched the power to execute the Joker from me, he sabotaged my carefully prepared revenge!

Grayson, Tim, Barbara...

They're all members of the Bat family, but Mason isn't!

He didn't have any reason to get involved in this, but he went on a rampage and sabotaged it, and this has to be settled, and that's my new plan."

With that, Jason Todd left a few weapons in the cave, turned and disappeared into the woods in the light of dawn.

And Talia rested for a few minutes, and after confirming that Jason was gone, picked up the communication device he had left behind, slyly

The Fox's Master Assassin dialed a number on it and waited patiently.

After more than ten seconds, the communication was connected.

"Hey?"

Mason's voice rang out over the communicator, and Talia stroked her long hair and said:

"Mason Cooper, I'm going to make a deal with you!"
