A jewelry store on another street.
Barbara was taking Kara to try on a ruby necklace in this store, but the oval ruby hanging from a thin silver chain didn't seem to match well when hung around Kara's neck.
So she changed the color and chose a light pink gemstone necklace. This color looked very good.
Snapped!
Several masked men with guns suddenly rushed in outside the jewelry store. One of the men wearing a Batman hood directly pointed the gun at Barbara after discovering Barbara holding a necklace:
"Come here!"
"It's okay." Barbara comforted Kara, who looked panicked, then put down the necklace and stood up and walked over.
The other customers and clerks in the jewelry store watched nervously and fearfully as she walked up to the man, and then he raised his face with the pistol and took a closer look.
"Barbara Gordon? It seems there is an unexpected harvest this time, hehehe..."
Looking at the other person's exposed chin and noticing an old mark on the corner of his mouth, Barbara remembered who he was.
Paul Osterbury
A younger brother who once worked for a certain gangster in Gotham.
Later, she was grazed in the face by a bullet fired by her father during a gang fight and escaped from Gotham police.
He was also the only gang member to escape alive.
"Aren't you going to go home and take a look? Paul."
Barbara smiled and mocked him, because in her father's files, this Mr. Paul disappeared for twenty years.
"Thanks to your good father, my life is better than before after I came out of Gotham."
Paul's gloomy eyes looked at the woman who was sitting with Barbara just now.
He raised his gun and pointed it at the short-haired woman and said, "Come here too!"
"Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to escape with so many hostages?"
Barbara wanted Paul to give up on Carla because it was a feud between her father and the other party.
Paul snorted coldly, scanned the progress of his companions in loading, and then focused on Barbara's indifferent face:
"I don't have to worry about that with you, ma'am."
He suddenly took out a metal bracelet from his pocket and stuck it on Barbara's wrist. Kara, who had just walked over, was not spared either. She also had a bracelet on her wrist.
"Distance detection, once you are too far away from me, it will boom!"
If he dares to rob in Central City, Paul must be prepared.
The Flash is indeed very fast, but as long as the hostage is by his side, he doesn't have to fear that the other party will surprise him.
"Where did you get such a good thing?"
Barbara didn't believe he could build this thing. The Paul in the file was just a lucky gang member.
"You don't need to worry about this, now come out with us and get in the car."
With the gun pointed at the two women, Paul motioned for them to move forward.
Outside the jewelry store, several police cars and a group of Central City police officers were waiting for them:
"lay down your weapon!!"
"Drop the gun!"
"Let them go!"
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Several of Paul's accomplices shot directly at the police. The AKs they held were not for viewing.
"Tell your heroes that they have bombs on them. If I die, they will die. If I am knocked out, they will die too."
After hearing what the robber said, the police officers hiding behind the car suddenly did not dare to fight back.
"Everyone cooperate and no one will get hurt!"
Paul pushed Barbara and Carla into the black van parked in front of the jewelry store with a gun.
Bang.
A group of police officers could only watch the robbers drive away for fear of angering them, but there was still a police helicopter following the black truck in the sky.
The robber's truck turned left and right in the city, and the news media who got the news followed it in helicopters.
(It is reported that the suspect hijacked two ladies. And the hostages also had a special bomb.
According to the description of the robber, this kind of bomb may be specially targeted at the Flash...)
Three men chatting in the milk tea shop saw the news.
When the hostages were revealed, Chris pointed at the two women and people around him who appeared on the TV and asked, "Are those Barbara and the others..."
"It seems..." the vigilante was stunned.
"Don't worry about them, Kara will be fine."
Shaking his head, Zhang Sanzhen didn't know why someone would choose to take Kara as a hostage. His butler was a personal killer.
Judging from the lack of resistance, she probably wanted to find a place where there were no cameras before taking action.
The Flash, who was at work, also saw the news. He pretended to go to the toilet and then put on his tights and rushed out of the company building.
From the perspective of several helicopters.
The black truck turned into an industrial park with few pedestrians, and the driver quickly stepped on the brakes when he saw a bunch of things blocking the road not far away.
"Head, something is blocking the road."
"It's strange, we didn't have these things when we came here yesterday..."
The robber sitting in the passenger seat didn't understand why in just half a day, there were suddenly these obstructions on the originally clean road.
"It's him, turn the car around."
Paul glanced at the situation ahead. There were some stones and abandoned metal frames piled on the road.
However, after the truck turned around, the road they came from was also blocked by a pile of metal garbage.
"We're walking, we don't need the car."
The buildings in the industrial park can block the view of the police helicopter overhead, so he doesn't have to worry about them as long as he reaches the retreat point.
With several bags of stolen jewelry, several boys got out of the car and walked ahead, with Paul walking behind the two hostages.
Snapped!
Suddenly, a boy walking in front of him disappeared.
The bag containing the jewelry fell directly to the ground.
"head…"
"What are you afraid of! Don't panic."
Paul, who was very calm, shouted into the surrounding air:
"Flash! I know it's you! If you want to save them, send them back! Now!!!"
With a fierce look on his face, he pointed the pistol at Kara's shoulder, and slowly pulled the trigger with his finger.
Snapped!
The moment the gunfire rang out, Paul was surprised to find that the originally weak hostage dodged the shot, grabbed his neck and pushed him against the wall.
"Kara?"
Barbara was confused, what's going on?
"Let him go!"
Bang bang bang bang bang!
The remaining boy raised his gun and started shooting, but all the bullets he fired at Kara were missing.
It's like the magazine is filled with blanks.
"you…"
Breathingly struggling, Paul reluctantly raised his gun and tried to shoot her in the head, but he couldn't see anything.
Carla let go of his neck that she had crushed, and Paul fell to the ground limply.
Click! Sizzling…
With just a slight tug, the bomb bracelet stuck on her wrist emitted a trace of black smoke like a squib and fell to the ground without any movement.
The nanorobots Kara secretly released have destroyed the internal structures of these bombs, and she can tear them off with confidence.
"Kara...are you a metahuman too?"
"I'm not."
She smiled and helped a shocked Barbara dispose of the bomb.
