New York City, night.
"What is this place?"
Black Adam stands tall on the top of the city, and standing next to him is Dr. Sivana.
"This is New York," Dr. Sivana said. "The world has changed, Black Adam. This is called a city."
"I know what a city is."
"You once knew it, but you have been sleeping for a thousand years."
"I am not asleep, just imprisoned."
"Yeah, and I gave you your freedom."
"Why?" Black Adam turned his head and looked at Dr. Sivana.
Dr. Sivana knew he needed to give Black Adam a satisfactory answer, otherwise...
The scene where his assistant was burned to char by Black Adam dozens of minutes ago is still vivid in his mind.
"I'm an archaeologist, and the only reason I got into this profession is because of my family. Science can't help my family's serious illness, they need magic. And you can bring magic back into the world."
Dr. Sivana lied. He controlled his heartbeat.
He knew that Black Adam was a complete superhuman, and even a small change in heart rate would alert him. Once you let him think that you are not a good person, the consequences will be tragic.
Especially when Black Adam has spent several hours learning English and there is no need for him to act as a translator.
But Black Adam didn't seem to care about his little thoughts, and he didn't answer Dr. Sivana directly.
He looked down at the demonstrators.
"Black Adam...can you heal my father's leg?"
Dr. Sivana was still pretending that he cared about his father who was violent and discriminatory against him, but the next second, he was grabbed by the neck by Black Adam and landed directly on the ground.
"Why are those people gathering there?"
Dr. Sivana followed his gaze and saw countless people holding signs and roaring.
"They're protesting and they're angry."
"Why are they angry?"
"Their employers took their money."
"Then the changes in this world are not as big as you think, Sivana." Black Adam said: "The pharaohs still make a living by exploiting slaves."
He asked Dr. Sivana:
“Where is the oppressor?”
"upstairs."
boom!
With the roar of thunder and lightning, Black Adam disappeared to the ground in an instant. Dr. Sivana was shocked and fell to the ground. He looked at Black Adam who flew up the tall building. His eyes showed an expression that could not be described in words: desire, jealousy, malice, fear, greed...
But he quickly discarded all these emotions, and his face became calm again.
And then a few seconds later...
"Farewell, Pharaoh."
"Help, help me, ahhhhhh-"
boom!
The child accidentally threw a packet of ketchup on the ground. The ketchup exploded on the ground and was all over the audience. Since the ketchup fell headfirst, a lot of fragrant and sweet white cream was mixed and sprayed out together. The red and white ones were mixed together, which was very beautiful.
“Slaves—” Black Adam landed among the screaming crowd: “You are free.”
"Ah ah ah ah ah--"
Black Adam saw a family of three. They held "Down with Gray" signs. The woman in the family of three screamed:
"Oh my god, he killed Mr Gray..."
"Will he kill us too?"
"Come on, come on, let's run!"
"They're actually afraid of the person who saved them?"
Black Adam dug into his waist and felt very unhappy.
"We have to go," Dr. Sivana said.
"Yes, I have observed enough of this world to know what to do next."
Black Adam said: "We have been to the Eternal Stone Castle. The mage has chosen his new magic guard."
"And whoever that guard is..."
Black Adam's eyes flashed with blue lightning.
"We will all find him."
…
…
…
Alfred sat contentedly in the Batcave, happily monitoring Bruce and Diana's first date.
He carefully selected the location. Across the street from the restaurant is the famous Couples Avenue, where men and women walking hand in hand are everywhere, as well as vendors selling flowers. You can eat all you can of dog food while sitting in the restaurant.
A little further away, there is an amusement park with ice cream shops everywhere. Alfred knew that Miss Diana Prince’s favorite food was ice cream. He had already used money to ask the owner of the ice cream shop to prepare an exclusive event. Just take a photo together as a couple to get free ice cream and limited ice cream pendants.
In order to prevent Miss Prince from resisting, he also asked the ice cream shop owner to set up a lottery, and his Bruce and Diana would "just happen" to win the first prize: as long as they take a couple photo, they can win "Haagenda" Free lifetime ice cream coupon."
"Jie, Jie, Jie, hee hee..." Alfred laughed softly, and then stopped.
Gee, I keep hearing Bruce making such weird laughter recently. Even he has been brainwashed by this kind of laughter, and he actually laughs like this too. It’s really outrageous.
Half a street across the street is the third largest open-air stadium in the metropolitan area. Alfred has booked this place for a week.
His Bruce can practice with Miss Prince here. Bruce once said that he wanted Wonder Woman to teach him some fighting skills suitable for superhumans, right?
At that time, he had an idea as soon as he heard this request.
Well, everyone knows how to rub their ears and temples together, give them some hands-on training, etc. Isn’t it because many wives have cheated on fitness coaches? Well, in short, the stadium is empty today. He has made sure that not even a chicken will disturb him. them.
Things should be over now that they have developed to this point, but how could Alfred be satisfied with this?
He had arranged an artificial rainfall. He knew that neither Bruce nor Miss Prince had brought an umbrella, and he happened to have purchased the hotels closest to them a few days ago. The rain would continue until the morning of the next day. , if they take shelter from the rain in a hotel, there will be exactly one room left, jiejiejiejiejie...
Of course, if Miss Prince refuses, it is also possible to have two rooms.
All in all, this is the perfect script that Alfred planned for his Bruce!
Ever since his Bruce came back, he has become much shyer. But Alfred liked him more like this.
In the past, although Bruce behaved wildly and was an old hand in flowers, every time Alfred saw the smile on Batman's face disappear completely and he showed that contemplative expression, he would immediately cruelly realize what had happened before. It's all just "Bruce" played by Batman.
But now, even though his Bruce wears the Batman uniform every day, he is either practicing his moves, sighing, or making plans when he comes back.
But for the first time in so many years, Alfred felt that the current situation was that "Bruce was playing Batman." What a huge change from Batman playing Bruce, how could it not make him happy?
oh!
Alfred sat up straight and saw his Bruce walking into the restaurant wearing a smart suit, great! He originally thought that with Bruce's mental state, he would just run into the restaurant wearing Batman uniform.
He hurriedly picked up the microphone next to him and gave orders to Clayface, who acted as everyone in the restaurant: "Quickly, Robin! Send a waiter to stand next to them. I want to see the expressions on their faces when they are talking. expression."
"Okay, Robin received it." Clayface said in the communication.
Meanwhile, the real Robin Tim is in the classroom.
"Turn the book to page 52. To be honest, your class is the worst I have ever taught..."
"Ah!" Tim sneezed.
Alfred saw Bruce sitting down facing Diana. He said hello to the other party, which was the most basic social rhetoric.
Alfred nodded happily, poured himself a cup of steaming coffee, and took a sip with pleasure.
Well done, Bruce!
He then saw Bruce exchanging pleasantries with the other person and then inviting Diana to have lunch with him.
Right, that is it. Make the atmosphere a little more casual without getting too nervous.
Alfred thought: It would be a good idea to enjoy the food first. Then you can start chatting happily, and then when the time is almost up, you can make a request or invitation to her——
"Diana, time is tight, so I won't stop talking nonsense and just get straight to the point."
?
Then Alfred heard Bruce say.
His eyes widened suddenly, and he stopped in the middle of drinking coffee.
"I have an uninvited invitation."
"Say." Diana brushed her hair around her ears.
"Then I'll say it."
"Wonder Woman, I need you to help me catch a woman."
puff!
Alfred sprayed a mouthful of coffee directly on the monitor screen. The waiter pretending to be Clayface dropped the plate with a clang, and then gasped.
If it's so straightforward, even Clayface can't stand it.
"..."
"What did you say?"
Diana only felt her head buzzing. The Amazon female warrior was not a fool. Ever since she arrived at the agreed conversation place in casual clothes, she had thought that Batman might make some demands of her.
As one of the few powerful combat forces currently available to the government, Amanda Waller and Steve had long revealed to her how Batman used pretentious negotiations and a Mother Box made of Clayface to trick the government. Round and round.
That day, Steppenwolf was not the only one who found himself grabbing a hand full of mud, looking as if he had stepped on shit, and left in disgust.
Diana thought that Batman found her privately this time, maybe because he wanted her to be a peacemaker, or maybe to test which side she would join Wonder Woman in the event of a conflict with the government, or even rely on them His personal friendship tried to convince her to help him.
But no matter what the smart and heroic female warrior of the Amazon guessed, she never expected that Batman would ask him to help become a human trafficker together!
Chen Tao also quickly realized that Diana had misunderstood, so he quickly told the story about Supergirl Kara.
"No, the government will never..." Diana subconsciously wanted to refuse. This was completely against the government, but soon she thought of some things she knew and couldn't help but get stuck in the middle of what she said.
"But Steve and Waller will stop these things." Wonder Woman finally said hesitantly: "Probably...?"
She herself added an uncertain question word at the end.
Chen Tao successfully read her subtext: What evidence do you have to prove that the government will experiment on the Kryptonian who has just arrived on Earth?
Fortunately, Chen Tao had made detailed preparations for this problem before.
He successfully took out several pieces of information about various government human experiments.
In the earliest days, he left nanobots in Luthor's lair, and the things they collected came in handy in this situation.
"Moreover, the child named Kara who is about to get off the spaceship is a relative of Superman."
Seeing that Diana was wavering, Chen Tao then struck while the iron was hot: "Superman can take good care of him and guide him to make good use of his abilities. The government habitually uses guns and arrests to restrain a Kryptonian. I personally Considered very dangerous.”
Chen Tao finally added fuel to the fire.
"You should know how eager people in the government are for quick success. If they cultivated a Kryptonian with malicious intentions for the entire planet, frankly, I don't know what I would do."
Diana was finally convinced: "Okay, when are we going to catch a female—Superwoman"?
"Now."
She heard the other person say.
Alfred behind the monitor slapped himself on the head, and all the preparations he had made were in vain.
"Alfred, where is my stealth plane?" Batman's question came from his headset. Alfred finally struggled: "There are too many people on the street and there is no place to park. I You can't push a stealth plane into a busy city, and even if it hovers silently, it's still too loud when flying."
"Then why did you choose the place-"
Alfred knew that his reason didn't make sense, so he said quickly: "I have parked the plane at the corner of the street on your left. You and Miss Diana should leave that area on foot first!"
"Hey Bruce, why are they walking hand in hand?"
Before Chen Tao could hang up the phone, he heard Diana asking him.
As soon as he stretched his head, he saw couples on the street.
"..."
"Well, they hold hands to show that they're in a group and..."
Then before Chen Tao finished speaking, Wonder Woman grabbed his wrist: "In which direction is your Batplane? Did the person on the phone tell you that he said he had parked at the corner in front of the street? ?”
"Yes, but..."
Then the next moment, Chen Tao was lifted off the ground by the strong Amazon girl with one hand like a little chicken, and with a whoosh, he ran towards the corner of the street.
Wow, it’s so difficult to describe female characters.
