65. Honey, you never walk alone
What should the wedding of a character like Lord, who stands out in every way, look like?
Full of friends? Or is it extravagant? Or is it full of tragic romance that is unique to the Bat family, such as jumping into a group of supervillains during the wedding to stir up trouble, and then kissing on a bloodstained battlefield after a hard-fought victory?
Sadly, none of the above.
Or all of the above.
The supervillains are indeed coming.
But the guys of the Neo-Doomsday Legion ran over in a rage and didn't even enter the door, turned around and left, and politely gave gifts without alarming anyone.
After all, the old lady is still sitting in the first row below, counting the bridesmaids, groomsmen and flower girls, there are only six Kryptonites here, who dares to make a mistake in this meeting?
As for friends and luxury, these two are just the basic embellishments, in short, the whole wedding is filled with a happiness and satisfaction that should not belong to Batman.
Of course, there are also dissatisfactions.
For example, Uncle Deadpool, who was dressed very handsome today and came to the wedding with his charming wife, bragged to everyone around him who could talk to him about the grand occasion when he got married.
Of course, he wasn't bragging.
After all, it is rare for a wedding to call out almost all the superheroes and villains who can come from the universe, and it is probably the most gorgeous highlight moment in the life of the hated Uncle Deadpool.
Compared with his wedding, the venue in front of him, which was limited to the manor, seemed small.
However, the others didn't have much of an opinion on this, anyway, except for the people who really came to congratulate them, the purpose of the others coming here was not simply to send blessings to the newlyweds.
Guys like the Green Goblins or Fury were already thinking about how to deal with relationships, and even a dashing faction leader like Sister Ka would inevitably have to have a few drinks and a few words with someone they didn't know well.
Everyone is a scene person, and it is natural to deal with these little things, of course, surface work still needs to be done.
Especially when the groomsmen appeared, the applause was particularly warm, and even overwhelmed the bride and groom, making Mason, who was standing between the two buckets and Zod, quite speechless.
He knew that most of the applause was directed at him.
This may also be the main reason why he was not very willing to be the best man for the lord before, stealing the limelight of the newlyweds at the wedding is going to be struck by lightning, Erdou and Zode also know this, so they quietly moved their steps to both sides, lest the thunder really split down and implicate them for a while.
Fortunately, today's two protagonists really don't care much about this.
It is no exaggeration to say that Selena and Bruce only have each other left in their eyes.
Especially when they exchanged rings hand in hand, that scene made all the bridesmaids, including Hallie, cry, and Mason was quite emotional.
For most marriages, the wedding is just the beginning of the torture of each other, but for the two people in front of them, they have been tormenting each other for many years long before they decided to carry out the ceremony.
It's more like the result of a relationship than the beginning of an impulse.
"Huh?"
Mason was about to listen to the wedding vows of the newlyweds when he suddenly turned around and saw a strange black figure waiting in a shadow in the garden behind.
The captain made a faint gesture to him to wait.
He didn't want to miss a single frame of the next scene, and for him, he couldn't get enough of these beautiful things.
Amid the melodious music, the newlyweds who exchanged rings kissed each other amid the cheers and applause of the whole group.
Not as Catwoman and Batman, but as Selena Kyle and Bruce Wayne, everyone understands the meaning behind today's wedding, which is not only a beautiful love, but also represents that the two superheroes will "retire from the circle".
Therefore, this applause also included thanks and praise for the two, as the Planet Daily sent an exclusive interview with the Wayne family's wedding ceremony, Dachao and Louise both put down their work and watched this scene arm in arm by the camera.
Especially the aunt smile on Dachao's face, as if he was an old father and finally saw his troublesome son find a home in life, and the picture of "macho man crying" when he took off his glasses to wipe his tears is even more classic.
And the triumvirate of the righteous lords, who changed into dresses and were in the front row, joined hands and sent blessings in a silent way.
They are happy to see themselves in the other world and reap their own happiness, while some of the more sensual people, such as Aunt Martha, will already cry uncontrollably, leaning on the shoulders of the old lady with the same red eyes and whining and whining.
"They're going to go on vacation after that, right?"
Zod, next to Mason, whispered:
"I don't know which one I'll choose?"
"If I had to guess, maybe just take a walk around Gotham City."
The captain's eyes were full of satisfaction and blessings, and he whispered:
"In another capacity, I walked through every street where I once fought, and maybe went to the crime alley to heal the psychological wounds of my childhood.
They're not young anymore and they don't have the romance we imagined, but if they really want to get out and see the places to go, that's too much.
Speaking of which, are you and Carla going to continue playing pantomime like this?
You know the Kent family will be happy to accept you if you want to. ”
"There's one last thing left undone."
Zod shook his head and said:
"I want to see my father again, my father in this world, and if the plane I came from is still there, I want to go back and see the place where I was born again.
But you don't have to worry about us.
Carla is a very assertive person, and she chooses to pick it all out at the right moment.
What about you?
What are you going to do next? I'm actually curious about what kind of way you choose to relax after getting away from the hectic work and heavy pressure? ”
"If I had to choose, I'd have a busy but fulfilling time in my suitcase factory."
Mason pouted and said:
"But the truth is that I'm going on vacation too, I have two girlfriends who have to deal with double responsibilities and probably won't be able to see each other for a while, and I'm sure when I come back, everything will be better.
Well? ”
The captain's eyes flashed, and Hawkeye Foresight activation allowed him to see the picture of himself receiving the bouquet of flowers thrown by Catwoman in the cheers of the crowd.
He subconsciously wanted to dodge as if he were skilfully dodging a smoking grenade that smashed at him, but he forcibly stopped the body of water that had begun to rebuild, and stretched out his hand to let the bouquet of flowers fall into his hand.
This is a good wish from the bride for his future life, and it would be rude to refuse.
And the moment Mason received the flower, there was a huge whistle and applause, which made him complain helplessly, this may be the bad feeling of being a big star.
It's impossible to keep a low profile.
"I've changed my mind."
Mason complained to Zod, who was smiling beside him:
"I'll leave in a moment, go to a place where no one knows me, spend my vacation, and come back secretly until everyone has forgotten who I am."
"Hey, they're waiting for you to speak."
The second bucket pushed Mason next to him, making the captain look up in surprise and say:
"Am I not the bride and groom? Why am I being asked to speak? ”
"You mean you're going to refuse to bless me on this occasion?"
Catwoman, dressed like a white Persian cat in a classic white wedding dress today, looked back at her Mason penis, and the cat's paw with her hidden hand as she passed the microphone threatened:
"Tell me well! Be serious, if you don't say it well, I'll beat you, if you can't make me cry, I will hate you for the rest of my life. ”
"Hey, Bruce, take care of your wife."
Mason grumbled expressionlessly, and Gotham's son shrugged his shoulders and made a "please" gesture, saying:
"I think my wife is right, and I'd love to hear what you think about this wedding."
"Hmph, dog man and woman."
The captain complained fiercely in his heart, but then he didn't have stage fright.
Taking the microphone and stepping forward under everyone's gaze, he looked around, looked at the eyes below with different meanings, and after a few light coughs, he said:
"Anyone who knows me knows that I'm always prepared for all the unexpected, so guys who want to see my jokes can be disappointed in advance.
Because "
He took out a folded piece of paper from his bosom, waved it in front of everyone's eyes, and said:
"Even if it is such an outrageous thing as being suddenly asked to speak by a wayward bride, I have done more than one filing."
This drew a chuckle from below, but soon fell silent, they did want to hear what Mason had to say for the day, and the captain unfolded the paper, glanced at it, and said:
"My life started in Gotham, and no matter what anyone says, I've always been proud to be a Gotham native, especially when I met Selena at the entrance to Crime Alley, and I knew that the gods of fate had finally begun to favor me.
It is no exaggeration to say that the scene I saw when I met today's bride was definitely the worst situation she could have encountered in her magnificent and sly life.
At that time, I was just a gangster brother, and I bravely took the step of enforcing justice.
And then my story really began.
I thought it was cool enough, but the truth is that less than thirty minutes after that, I met the groom again, and you can never imagine how much willpower I used to suppress my urge to ask for his autograph.
After all, since the age of three, His Excellency the Bridegroom has been my most admired hero.
But then again, for a native of Gotham, this mindset is as common as what happens every day in the city.
They were the ones who got me down this path. ”
Mason took a deep breath and said to everyone in front of him:
"No matter how many people will judge the work of my friends and me, now or in the future, no matter how exaggerated they say, it will not change this fact.
I'm glad I met Selena and Bruce in the first place, instead of stumbling into Hackle or some other bastard in Crime Alley that night.
They taught me to be faithful, especially when I was really confronted with the bad things that bothered everyone.
When I joined the Stars and witnessed the first world to be destroyed, I realized what a terrible time I was in, and that world, and countless worlds, were convincing me with tragic facts that in this era of calamity, a smart guy like me was clearly more promising as a supervillain.
I don't want to hide it from you.
I did waver, and when I punished the penguin in the worst possible way, I realized that I was really talented at doing bad things.
But Selena and Bruce pulled me back with their actions.
Having them and the rest of Team K by my side made me feel that it wasn't easy to convince myself that I was witnessing all the evil and darkness without acting, so one early morning I suddenly realized.
Hey, man, why don't we try to get this dark era of chaos back on track? ”
The captain smiled.
He spread out his arms and said to everyone in front of him:
"That's what I thought, and that's what I did, and so we ended up standing here, attending a couple's wedding in the bright sunshine instead of raising arms to each other and turning this place into another hell.
When I set out, I wasn't sure where I could go, but after I got to know you, I realized that I wasn't the only one who wanted to do it.
I don't like to call someone a savior.
Because without you, there would be no picture of happiness and beauty today.
In the same way, without Selena and Bruce, there would be no Mason Cooper and his story and legend today, and it occurred to me that they had helped me so much and that I had never said thank you to them very seriously.
I can't say how grateful I am to everyone when everyone is thanking me, and in my story, everyone is a hero who deserves to be thanked.
Everyone deserves their own happiness.
The bad guys won't allow such a good thing to happen, but we'll also have firm action to defend what we have and want to have.
We are no weaker than they are, and yearning for beauty and goodness does not make us any more cowardly.
That's what I want to say.
To all, to you, my friends. ”
Mason turned around and nodded slightly to Selena and Bruce behind him, and he whispered:
"I wish you happiness, my friend."
"Oh, Mason, it's not quite what I thought it would be."
Catwoman snorted, and she sniffled and said:
"I'm not impressed at all."
Mason blinked and whispered to her:
"But I've done what I can, Sister Selena."
This unspoken title made Selena, who had been tense, burst into tears.
She wiped her tears and abandoned her husband and took Mason into her arms, while Bruce reached out and patted Mason on the shoulder with a look of relief.
Behind him, louder applause poured in than before, and even Uncle Deadpool was whistling and applauding enthusiastically, as Mason, the savior, praised him as a great hero.
Well, Uncle Deadpool likes this title very much, and even wants to ask the good-speaking Mason to say a few more words.
"Okay, pregnant women can't cry so violently, it's not good for mood swings to be so big."
Mason patted Catwoman on the shoulder, and when the latter let go of him, the captain's eyes were also red, but he still restrained himself from handing over the scene to today's protagonist and quietly retreated behind everyone, leaving a water body here to support the scene, and came to the garden to meet Black Strange.
"We've found it."
Unsurprisingly, Black Someone brought good news.
He said to Mason:
"They sealed off the coordinates of that world, so that no teleportation spell could take effect, and even the passage of the Eye of Time and Space there was cut off.
So you may have to use some unique methods to get into it without being noticed. ”
"I've already made arrangements, so don't worry."
The captain nodded, and then asked:
"What about you? Where are you going next? ”
"Find a random world and wait for the change of era."
Hei Bizarre said indifferently:
"It will take preparation to complete the resurrection of Christine between the collapse and re-establishment of the sacred timeline, so I can't accompany you forward, Mason.
What you're trying to accomplish is dangerous, and there may be some pretty terrible forces in their world."
"It has to be this way."
Mason waved his hand, looked back at the wedding scene behind him, and whispered:
"Otherwise it's boring, isn't it?"
"Then let's go now?"
Black Strange looked at him as well, and after a few seconds he asked, and Mason shook his head and said:
"Wait, let me see these warm and beautiful things for a while. I really can't get enough of it, speaking of which, did you see my brothers when you came over?
They haven't been moving since yesterday, and they suddenly disappeared as if they had made an appointment, which makes me a little worried, wondering if they are secretly trying to give me the whole life again. ”
"They're going with you, Mason."
Black Strange replied:
"I tried to persuade them, but they were adamant."
"Well, to be expected."
Mason shook his head, he turned around and said:
"Let's go, let's go now."
"Huh? Don't look at it for a while? ”
Hei Qi looked at him in surprise, and the captain withdrew his gaze and said:
"That's enough, I'm afraid I'll try to convince myself to stay here and lose the courage to move forward."
Black someone nodded.
He can understand Mason.
Although all this in front of him had nothing to do with him, even he couldn't help but want to immerse himself in it, so he turned around and opened a door.
Mason took off his bow tie and stepped into it, and at the moment when he completely disappeared, he felt his back sink again, and Harley, who was still wearing a red dress, screamed and pounced, and Quinn also held his hand.
"Hey! Nasty Mr. K! ”
The mad beauty bit his ear and said indistinctly:
"Don't want to leave us behind! I've got you covered. ”
"They're chasing you!"
Quinn shouted.
Mason shrugged, took a step forward, and waved back at the few guys who had caught up behind him, and quietly left as the black magic dissipated.
The last leg of the road he had to walk on his own, as he had when he came.
Hey, there's a beginning and an end.
