Chapter Seventy-Six: The First Year
The plane landed in New York.
Pepper and Harpy had been waiting outside for a long time, Stark was helped off the plane by Rhodes, and immediately a paramedic came to deliver the emergency bed.
Stark decisively said that he didn't need it, joked with Pepper, got in the car, and held a press conference according to the plot.
When the others were almost gone, Rod and Edward walked down.
"You understand, right? Tony's previous whereabouts were hidden but he was ambushed with precision, and we don't know who the inner ghost is, so it's necessary for your safety. Rod babbled.
"Hmm." Edward nodded, the beetle had already come back to report, Obadi's old bastard had really sent someone, even if Stark didn't ask for it, he would have to wait and be careful.
"Ed." Rod solemnly shouted to Edward, "You really did it, well done." ”
……
After another roundabout, Edward's salute was sent home, and he was sent to Gotham, because the car Stark bought him was in Gotham, and he asked to pick it up himself.
Outside of Gotham, the weather is sunny and cloudy, and as soon as you enter Gotham, it will be dark immediately! The clouds were thick and it seemed to be thundering and raining, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
Driving on the streets, the sound of quarrels and scolding is endless, robbers and thieves can be seen everywhere, and there are occasional gunshots in the nearby neighborhood.
Edward was sent to the car shop, only to find out that it was not Stark who bought it casually, but the Corvette ZR1 he had ordered for himself before the accident.
The sixth-generation supercar of the Chevrolet series that has just come out, a private custom model......
Edward remembered that when he crossed over, that is, in 19 years, there was a female classmate who showed off her wealth and took this car, more than 100,000 US dollars, which is about 900,000 RMB.
Edward deeply discovered, part-time job? Hit what? Go to his part-time job, it's impossible to work part-time, and if you have a good relationship with the big guy, you can make more money than if you leak a little money than if you work for ten years.
Edward picked up the car and looked around at the bright lights, Edward was not interested in participating, and reversed to leave.
Edward plans to go to Wayne Manor for a walk, mainly to get closer, and just report the good news of Stark's return in the name or something.
Wayne Manor is a little far from the city, so let the beetle check the distance and drive straight over.
This time, he has earned Stark's favor, and then he will easily consolidate his relationship with Bruce Wayne to facilitate his actions in the mall in the future.
After driving for a while, Edward saw a man holding his abdomen and staggering on the side of the road, surrounded by a crowd of people chasing him.
Edward looked around, it was still a place where the lights were still green, and there were all kinds of children standing on the side of the road.
Edward found that he hadn't driven out yet, but the faltering man gave Edward an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, his posture was rickety because of the injury, but if he stood up straight, it was quite familiar, wasn't it......
Bruce Wayne?!
"Hey! Don't run! The thugs chased him with knives, and suddenly one of the thugs jumped out of the street in front of him, blocked his way, and opened fire.
He had another wound in the abdomen, and he ran towards Edward.
This battle is a little familiar.
Edward didn't think much about it, and opened the car door directly, "I don't have time to explain!" Get in the car! ”
"Bang." Another shot rang out, skewed and shot at Edward's back door.
Edward was full of black lines on his forehead, and he said that there was no need to drive such a good car, 100,000 or thousands of dollars was beaten to the same hole, and at least a few thousand yuan would lose less.
However, Bruce's movements were fast, and he directly climbed onto Edward's co-pilot and closed the door.
Edward stepped on the accelerator and ran, and the people behind him shot Edward didn't care.
"Mr. Wayne, Mr. Wayne, are you okay?" Edward decisively called through Bruce's identity.
"Are you ......" Bruce endured the pain, and wanted to ask who you were, but after looking at Edward's face with great difficulty, he suddenly stopped, "Is it you?" Why are you here? ”
"Mr. Stark is back, I felt I should tell you, so I stopped by, but I didn't expect to meet you on the way." Edward said, "What happened? Why is someone chasing you, I'll take you to the hospital first. ”
"No, back, back to Wayne Manor." Bruce said with a hard time.
"But your injuries."
"Go back."
So Edward changed the road and drove towards Wayne Manor, on the way, he encountered a red car, oncoming, Edward looked at it casually, and the iconic blonde hair and brown trench coat of the driver suddenly made Edward realize who it was and what a critical moment he was.
Gordon?
He's coming to Gotham?
Rubbing shoulders with the injured Bruce Wayne?
Isn't this the plot of "The First Year of Batman"?
I've been gone for two months, why is it only now? Edward was confused, but didn't show it.
If it's the plot of the first year, then Bruce is out this time to wander around, the kind that hides his identity, he is currently in the kind of critical moment where he should do something, but he doesn't know how to do it, and the time has not come.
This time, Bruce will suddenly awaken the small universe and super-evolve into Batman to start his life of fighting crime.
This also means...... The eyes and gaze of the multiverse-level Barbatos, perhaps staring here?
Edward quickly drove the car to Wayne Manor, and the butler Alfred answered and helped Bruce in, originally inviting Edward in for tea, but Edward felt that this time was not suitable for the reason that the guest would visit another day.
If there is one superhero in the superhero world who has the most conspiracy theory about the birth of a superhero, Edward definitely voted for Batman, for him, Barbatos at the multiverse level has been laid out for thousands of years.
Walk fast, walk fast, walk......
There was no premonition of danger, but Edward's sense of something prompted him, and the pervasive gaze was once again generated, and the beetle detected that all the cameras were paying special attention to Edward's car.
Last time, S.H.I.E.L.D. was watching him, but what about this time?
The villain of Gotham, Bain the Riddler Clown...... If you can't beat it, you can't stop running when you drive, and there is no danger to your life.
Only Barbatos, Edward didn't dare to hold it up, and he didn't even have the confidence to be able to carry it when the life-saving skill stopped.
"Woo ......" was about to drive out of Gotham when suddenly a car came out of front of him.
This car fiercely passed by Edward, it was really a rubble, squeezing one side of Edward's car, rubbing off the paint, rearview mirror, and glass on one side...... Nothing is intact here!
This action caused Edward's car to shake and almost flip over.
If this behavior may have been just a coincidence of the drunken man, then the cold gaze of the driver let Edward know that they were coming for Edward!!
Edward asked the beetle to hack into the monitoring system to check the situation, and found that there was no crash in the surveillance just now!
It was a well-prepared warning.
A warning to him for meddling in Bruce Wayne's evolution into Batman.
Edward braked sharply and stopped the car, drove out the door, and looked at Gotham behind him, Gotham's shadow was like a big bat, and the neon lights of the two tall buildings in the middle seemed to be scarlet light.
Like, the city was watching him.
