2. How? Did the Gotham locals steal your rice?

The Kite Man's son has been kidnapped.

But that's not the only bad news.

Because the kidnapping also included Elizabeth Swan's son and Captain Barbossa's daughter, which was clearly intentional, the kidnappers orchestrated to fast in and out, and the fact that there were no additional casualties in a Gotham bombing is in itself telling.

However, the people in the afterlife bar did not panic.

On the one hand, the children were safe with locators and life monitoring devices, and on the other hand, one of the robbers contacted them at the beginning of the kidnapping.

"I've arrived at Nai Ho Island, and I'm about to meet the robbers."

The Kite Man, who was flying fast in the air, adjusted his mechanical wings to the whispering mode, and while patrolling around the target building to identify suspicious people, he said to Judy, who was organizing a commando team at the afterlife:

"Don't act rashly, these guys are weird, especially when I was asked to meet, he said the name of the boss and said that he had an agreement with us.

Keep an eye on it, Judy, while contacting Nightwing.

He's patrolling Gotham City in place of the old man, so he should have some other information. ”

"Okay, Charles, you stay safe."

Judy responded to him:

"Elizabeth and Jack are on their way, Director Gordon has been dispatched, and Steward Oswald has asked me to inform you that he has two teams of gunners on the island.

If you need to take care of it afterwards, he's happy to do it for you.

But don't make the scene too disgusting, the mental health of the younger brothers is also very important. ”

"Girl, you really have to take it away sometimes."

The kite man said helplessly:

"My son has been kidnapped, can you have a little sympathy?"

After complaining, the kite man began to land.

At the same time, six winged drones also popped out from behind his "kite armor" and entered optical stealth mode, and began to cruise around the abandoned building.

Although he is no longer the main player, Charles's equipment upgrades have always followed closely with the K-Team technology tree, and any new gadgets invented by the boss Mason will be shared with him.

In addition to his portable armor, the Kite Man also has a set of heavy armed wings designed for combat, which have been upgraded several times from the Vulture's mechanical wings.

Its firepower is as powerful as the normal version of the Fenrir Warframe.

So it's safe to say that this low-key bar support manager is actually a "hidden boss" in Gotham City, and he is just low-key enough to have a bad reputation.

"Huh"

The Kite Man's armor folded its wings and allowed him to land lightly on the top floor of the abandoned building, and with a wave of both hands, two black assault smart guns jumped into his hands.

He pointed ahead, and the structure of the entire building was immediately reflected on the black combat glasses, and the optimal tipping point was calculated, and the armed module of the winged drone was turned on to assist in combat at any time.

However, the robber did not play hide and seek with the Kite Man, he stood generously in the center of the top hall, holding a cold frozen pistol in his hand, and the Kite Man's son, Little Brown, was tied to a lame chair with his mouth sealed with duct tape, and the horror in Little Brown's eyes immediately decreased after seeing his father appear like a divine soldier descending from the sky.

"Dr. Victor."

The kite man looked at Mr. Freeze, who was expressionless in front of him, and he said in a cold voice:

"What do you mean by that?"

"Someone released Arkham's prisoners and gave us information about the three children that we should capture to qualify for the Legion of Doom."

Mr. Freeze has always spoken in a cold and unforgiving tone due to his personal special reasons, and his gray pupils reflect that this person really seems to be completely unconcerned about all life.

He said his experience of the past few hours with a blank face, and pressed the glowing freezer gun in his hand against Little Brown's forehead, and just touch caused the broken ice to spread on the child's forehead.

This action made the kite man take a step forward, and he raised his hands and said:

"Well, don't do it, Doctor, you said on the phone that you had something to ask me, and that you had an agreement with us, which means that everything can be discussed, right?"

"What is the Justice League doing?"

Mr. Freeze asked, staring at the gray-black armor on the Kite Man and saying:

"Mason has given you a lot of technical support, it seems that you are not what you used to be, maybe your drone has been aimed at my head, but Charles, I advise you not to be impulsive.

There are bombs in this building, and your son will be in danger if I die.

So, answer my question. ”

"The Justice League has done a lot of things, you have to be more specific."

The kite man pushed his sunglasses, stalled and said:

"I'm guessing the member of the Doomsday Legion who released you told you something, rumors about the end of the world or something."

"Buzz"

Mr. Freeze's Freeze Gun goes into charge mode, and it is clear that he has seen through the kite man's trick of stalling for time, and the cold air makes Brown shiver.

Charles waved his hand and quickly described the impact in succinct words, causing Mr. Frozen's eyes to constrict, the truth was indeed beyond his expectations.

No wonder the mysterious man called the formation of the "Army of Doom" a "self-saving cause" for the villains.

He's a high-IQ criminal.

Therefore, the kite man does not need to tell all the facts to make him guess some of the hidden truths, which is nothing more than a struggle between forces, but he himself does not care about this.

After clarifying the situation, Dr. Victor slightly withdrew his freezer and said to Charles:

"I'm going to talk to Mason Cooper! Contact him, you can take your son away while he talks to me, there is no grudge between me and you, Charles, I am not interested in joining the Legion of Doom.

I just wanted to talk to Mason about the engagement between me and him. ”

"The boss is what you can see if you want?"

The Kite Man snorted unpleasantly, but considering Mr. Freeze's unequivocal "agreement", he hesitated for a moment, gestured and turned around to activate the cross-world communication module fixed in the ear bone.

Moments later, the communication was connected.

"Charles? Little Brown rescued? ”

Mason asks:

"Or do you need support? Flash is ready to go, give me a specific coordinates. ”

"No, Boss, the matter is settled."

Charles saw Mr. Freeze untying his son behind him through the observation of the winged drone, and he breathed a sigh of relief and told Mason about Mr. Freeze.

Finally, he whispered:

"I'm already aiming at him, boss, how precious your time is, there's no reason to entangle with these guys, as long as you say a word, I can make him disappear forever."

"No, let me talk to him."

Mason prevented to:

"I did have a pact with him, and that was a while ago."

"Okay."

The kite man turned around and beckoned to his son, and little Brown did not panic, but walked to his father step by step.

He tore off the tape from his mouth and said to Charles:

"Henry and Serena were taken away, it was Two-Faced and the Scarecrow who did it! I knew them, and they said they were going to take my friend to the beach, where someone was there to pick them up. ”

"Well, I see, don't worry, your friends will be safe, now put on this and leave immediately."

Charles tapped on his chest, disarmed his kite armor and turned it back into a suitcase, and put it on for his son, resetting his flight target and watching him be carried away from the danger zone.

At the same time, a black shadow flew into the air and slammed into the floor beside Charles.

It was a black Warframe storage jar containing the vulture wings he used for battle.

Charles stepped forward and patted the jar to turn on the wearing mode, and while stepping on two foot pedals to arm the inner armor, he threw a wrist communicator to Mr. Freeze in front of him, and warned him:

"Boss wants to talk to you, Dr. Victor, everyone knows you're not really a vicious fellow, so you'd better take advantage of this opportunity.

For the sake of you 'protecting' my son, I warn you that the Doomsday Legion is not in a good situation at this time. The most merciful of the supertons will no longer show mercy to their men. ”

"I guessed it."

Dr. Victor nodded.

He watched as the black machine in front of him armed the kite man with outstretched arms in a very precise and fast manner, and then covered Charles with two giant metal wings with a wingspan of fifteen meters after the black armor containment tank was fully deployed.

Its limbs are angular, with mystical geometric patterns to absorb energy attacks, and the last V-shaped overlay helmet snaps onto the Kite Man's head with a click.

At the same time that the six turbothrusters of different sizes of the mechanical wings were activated, the red line goggles were also activated on the visor, making him look dangerous and hideous.

As a top thermographer, Dr. Victor has enough scientific literacy to understand the technical content and deterrence and destructive power of this set of armor, which is the equipment that a third-tier villain should have?

You said it was Batman's heavy armament designed specifically for high-altitude and Superman fights, and he believed it.

The Kite Man waved him "goodbye" and soared into the air with a snarcole sonic boom.

He also has to find the kidnapped Henry and Serena, the boss once said that the children were the weakness of Team K, and now it seems that the hidden villains have finally attacked Mason's weakness.

Thankfully, everyone was prepared for this.

In an abandoned high-rise where he was the only one left, Mr. Freeze clasped the wrist communicator that the Kite Man had thrown at him in his left hand, and when activated, a blue beam of light scanned forward and outlined Mason's hologram.

He was sitting in a strange mechanical flying chair with the backdrop of an autonomously fast-moving ultra-precision laboratory machine.

This young man's face has not changed from the last time he met him, he still looks young and handsome, but the momentum on his body is completely different.

Despite his smile, the pressure was still transmitted to Dr. Victor even from a world away, as if he were not talking to Mason Cooper, but to something of Brainiac or Darkseid's level.

But the more this happened, the more excited Dr. Victor became.

This means that Mason may now have enough technology to help him achieve his wishes.

He did not conceal it, nor did he greet him, and said bluntly:

"Mason! You said last time that when we met for the second time, you would help me get Nora back! I just want to know, does this agreement still count? ”

"Of course."

Mason, who was sitting in the Morbius chair, said with a smile on his face:

"My alchemical skills have reached the point where I can help Nora recover from a terminal illness, but in order to avoid the two of us being discovered, I did not go to your secret base during your return to Arkham Asylum.

Nora is still there.

I will send her into my world at once, and I assure you that you will soon see a healthy wife.

Even your own hypothermia can be cured.

We don't have a good researcher like you, and your knowledge is invaluable in this day and age. Now I will give you a coordinate, and go there and wait for my messenger. ”

"Huh?"

Mason's cheerful answer and generosity made Mr. Freeze a little suspicious, although he is not a hopelessly bad scumbag, but he is a villain after all, and he already has qualified villain thinking under the "tempering" of the master.

He asked:

"That's it? It's as simple as that? Don't you need me to do something for you? For example, infiltrate the Doomsday Legion as your spy to help you gather intel and so on.

I'm ready for that. ”

"No, you don't!"

Mason leaned back in the Morbius chair and waved his hand and said:

"I knew by the name of the organization that Lex Luthor had created it, and I knew exactly what it was for, and what they wanted to do was clearly on the table.

The only thing that I don't quite know is the means they intend to take, but they have already begun to act, and their means will soon be exposed.

Trust us, we're ready for this.

You and your wife don't need to be involved in this mess, even if it's for your love, it deserves a happy ending."

"No! I'm not at ease! ”

Mr. Freeze refused:

"You are so generous and yet my heart is terrified, I must do something for you to dare to trust Nora to you, or I will not be able to convince myself of the fact that you are a generous and benevolent person.

You're a Gotham! ”

He said.

Mason raised his eyebrows in surprise and said:

"I'm from Gotham, so what?"

"Gotham people are born villains!"

Mr. Freeze waved his hand and shouted:

"This city, this is impossible to produce really good people, and all this is the beginning of another conspiracy of yours, so let's go with the classical method of cooperation.

You help me, I help you, and show value to each other to take the collaboration to the next level.

Say, what do you need me to do? ”

"But I really don't need to."

Mason looked at Mr. Freeze in front of him a little speechlessly.

After realizing that he couldn't convince the other party to reverse the bad stereotype of Gotham people in his heart, he rubbed his forehead helplessly and thought about it, and said:

"Well, if you really believe that exchange of benefits can be exchanged for genuine cooperation, then I do have a job for you."

"That's right."

Mr. Freeze nodded in satisfaction.

That's the right thing to say!

This is what a Gotham person should say, what gratuitous help, what love is priceless, and so on, from the mouth of a Gotham native with dark roots, it is really TM terrifying.

Mason gives Mr. Freeze a coordinate and hangs up.

Mr. Freeze took a deep breath, and as he left the abandoned building, a message on his Frozen armor lit up.

That meant that his wife, Nora, who had been hiding in a secret hideout, was relocated, but then he lost track of his wife.

Thinking of what Mason had just said about "another world", Dr. Victor realized that his wife had been transferred to Mason's field.

He felt more relieved, so he drove the stolen car all the way out of Nahe Island to the vicinity of Crime Alley, and then followed the coordinates to a small warehouse.

Pushing open the door of the warehouse, he was stunned to see a green-skinned, pointy-eared alien standing inside wearing a high school uniform, carrying a school bag, holding a takeaway fried noodles and eating lunch.

The latter saw that Mr. Frozen was staring at it, waved his hand at him in a friendly manner, then stuffed the last bite of fried noodles into his mouth and chewed it, then changed shape and twisted to look like Charles's son, Little Brown.

It crossed its waist and said to Mr. Freeze, who was staring at him with round eyes:

"Hurry up, send me to the headquarters of the Doom Legion to claim my reward, I must complete this infiltration disguise as soon as possible to gain the possibility of freedom for my homeland.

Oh, by the way, before I leave, I'm going to have to delete this memory of yours so you don't show it.

Come here.

It's going to hurt a little, bear with it. ”
