Issou, do you know that I'm Batman?
When Issou heard Bruce's words, he felt like he was hit in the head by a large rock.
He was dumbfounded by the blow.
All she could think about was — —
Boss.
Don't you know how good your acting is?
Yes.
Issou never thought that he had given himself away.
After all, this girl was as confident in her acting skills as she was in her drawing skills.
So after hearing Bruce's words, the black-haired girl's first reaction was that Bruce was doubting her acting skills?
However, Bruce, who Issou thought didn't know how good her acting skills were, felt that she was the one who didn't know how good her acting skills were.
He looked at the black-haired girl who was caught off guard by his words.
Bruce wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he looked at her silently, waiting for her to react.
In fact, Issou wasn't the only one who was stunned by Bruce's words.
Even Bari and Diana had similar looks of surprise on their faces.
They were all members of the Justice League. Who didn't know Bari and Diana? In terms of vigilance and defensiveness,
It was definitely Batman.
Before the establishment of the Justice League,
Batman and Superman had fought before. Later, they shook hands and established the Justice League together.
They became teammates who fought side by side.
But do you think that's all?
No.
After all, even after becoming teammates with Superman.
Batman was still the man who was passionate about (…) collecting a house full of kryptonite.
Superman: "…???"
What happened to throwing it all away?
Considering that Batman's personality,
When they heard him suddenly ask Issou this,
How could Bari and Diana remain indifferent?
However, considering that Bruce must have his reasons for doing this,
Even though the two members of the Justice League were surprised (after all, they weren't actors),
They still didn't speak.
Instead, like Bruce, they quietly waited for Issou's answer.
After all, whether it was Bruce's sudden revelation of his identity or his question to Issou, Bari and Diana were very surprised —
Issou knew that Bruce was Batman?
Because of Bruce's words, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became quiet. They were so shocked that they could only hear Issou's heart suddenly beating violently.
Issou wanted to deny it. After all, admitting it wouldn't do her any good, but …
The black-haired girl raised her eyes to look at Bruce. There was no serious expression on his face, and the pair of blue eyes that were looking at her were magnanimous. He didn't have the slightest intention of immediately silencing her as soon as she admitted to it.
Bruce: "…???"
Did she have some misunderstanding about Batman?
Besides, Yi Su had said before that Bruce wasn't like Barry, Pietro, and the other mascots who were easy to fool. Her usual acting skills couldn't fool this big shot's eyes. This time, he wanted to catch her off guard …
Thinking of this, the black-haired girl asked, "… How did you know?"
As soon as Issou said this, everyone present understood. Even if she didn't directly admit it, she indirectly admitted that she did know that Bruce was Batman.
Bruce said, "Look at my eyes."
Issou: "…???"
After hearing Bruce's explanation, the black-haired girl was a little puzzled. What was with the way she looked at him?
"In your eyes, I'm Bruce Weyne, but I'm also Batman, right?"
Bruce looked at Issou with a complicated expression in his deep blue eyes.
In fact, in the beginning, Bruce didn't suspect Issou. After all, as a public figure, it wasn't strange for her to recognize him when he first went to "My Chinese Restaurant".
In addition, Issou was so muddle-headed that he didn't even "notice" his own group of mutants, so Bruce was even less suspicious of him.
It wasn't until Bari and Clark exposed themselves that Bruce began to suspect Issou.
Of course, after Bari and Clark came back and told him about this, Bruce knew very well that whether it was Bari who exposed herself or Clark who exposed himself, it had nothing to do with Issou.
But the problem was —
After Bari exposed herself, regardless of why Clark revealed his identity, the twins and Clarice curiously asked him, who was good friends with Bari and Diana, if he also had superpowers, and if he was also a member of the Justice League …
But he was also good friends with Bari and Diana, and he had also eaten with Steve and the other avengers. But when he went to "My Chinese Restaurant" again, Wanda, Pietro, and Clarice would look at him curiously and even quietly ask him.
Yeah.
Although Clarice and the others didn't have much hope when they asked, after all, Bruce Weyne … Yeah.
Bruce: "…???"
But no matter what, Clarice and the twins' reactions were normal. Even if he said no, they really believed that he was not a superhero, let alone a member of the Justice League.
But compared to Clarice and the others, Issou's reaction was much more abnormal. She was not curious, nor did she ask him in private. It was as if everyone thought that Bruce Weyne could not be Batman, and she believed that Bruce Weyne could not be Batman.
Normally, Bruce hoped that everyone would be like Issou, but he also knew very well that people were always curious. Even if the black-haired girl privately learned from Clarice and the others that he had denied that he was a superhero, her reaction was too intriguing.
But considering his relationship with Issou and Issou's personality, Bruce suppressed the suspicion in his heart.
But when Issou came to Gotham and saw him as Batman, the suspicion hidden in his heart emerged again.
It was only then that Bruce suddenly realized —
Issou might not believe that Bruce Weyne could not be Batman just because everyone thought that Bruce Weyne could not be Batman, but because she already knew that Bruce Weyne was Batman.
So whether he was Bruce Weyne or Batman, to Issou —
It was the same person.
Bruce did not know whether he should believe his own judgment or not, but when Issou got into the car, he met her eyes —
Damn.
He had to believe it.
Because whether it was Bruce Weyne or Batman, Issou's eyes did not change at all.
"Wow."
After hearing Bruce explain how he knew that Issou knew that he was Batman, Bari only had one thing to say —
"Issou, you knew that Bruce was Batman so long ago?"
According to what Bruce said, didn't that mean that not long after he and Clark fell, Bruce's avatar also turned into a butterfly and flew away?
Issou: "…"
No.
Bruce's avatar turned into a butterfly and flew away long before he, Clark, and Diana.
There were no live-action superhero movies in Issou's original world, so even if the black-haired girl knew that Clark Kent, a reporter from the metropolitan "Daily Planet", was Superman, and Bari Allen, a forensic expert from the Central City Police Department, was The Flash, but …
Neither of them was a public figure, and Issou could not just go to their door and see what they looked like.
So strictly speaking, Bruce Weyne was indeed the first to fall. After all, as a playboy who was as famous as Tony, he made the headlines just as many times.
The black-haired girl still remembered that when she took the subway the day she found out that she had broken the Dimension Wall, she saw Bruce's face printed on the cover of a magazine. But at that time, she didn't know that she had broken the Dimension Wall, so she didn't take it to heart.
"What I'm more curious about is, Issou, how did you know that Bruce is Batman?"
After Diana heard Bruce's words, she subconsciously looked at Issou with unconcealable curiosity in her eyes.
Issou: "…"
Of course, she found out when she was reading comics.
Hearing Diana's question, the black-haired girl gave her own answer in her heart, but she knew very well that such an answer was impossible to say out loud.
Seeing that Bruce and Bari were also looking at him, Issou thought for a while, then said, "If you didn't know that Bari is The Flash, it might be difficult to guess, but after knowing that he is The Flash and Clark is Superman, it's not difficult to guess that Bruce is Batman."
The black-haired girl did not say how she knew that Bruce was Batman, but she followed what Bruce just said and explained the reasoning process.
Hearing Issou's words, Diana and Bari thought about it and felt that it made sense. If Clark did not expose his identity, it might have been better. After all, no one said that a good friend of a superhero had to be a superhero.
"Then Issou, aren't you curious?"
Bari looked at Issou and asked, "Don't you want to be sure if Bruce is really Batman?"
Hearing Bari's words, Issou was not afraid that Bruce and the others would notice anything wrong.
The black-haired girl spread her hands at Bari and said, "Whether Bruce is Batman or not is not important to me, because whether he is Batman or not will not affect my relationship with him, nor will it affect my relationship with him."
"Besides …"
Issou paused for a moment, then said, "Since Bruce doesn't want people to know that he is Batman, why should I expose him?"
Hearing the black-haired girl's words, Bruce and the others fell silent for a moment, and then they could not help but laugh. It was no wonder that they had a good impression of Issou. After all, who would not like such a considerate and warm girl?
Seeing that he had answered Bruce and the others' questions without exposing his secret, Issou gave himself a thumbs up in his heart for being quick-witted.
However, in order to prevent Bruce and the others from delving into this matter, after the black-haired girl finished speaking, she casually changed the topic. "Now that I've finished explaining, shouldn't it be your turn to explain it to me —"
"What's going on tonight?"
Hearing Issou mention this matter, Bruce and Bari, who were in the know, looked at each other. Since she already knew, there was no need for them to hide it anymore.
So Bari told the black-haired girl the whole story. In the end, he could not help but apologize to Issou. He said, "It's all our fault for being careless and causing you to be scared out of your wits tonight. Fortunately, Issou, you brought the money cake for Diana with you."
With the help of a box of snacks, he successfully saved himself.
"I'm the one who should be apologizing."
Bruce looked at Issou and said, "If it weren't for me, Issou, you wouldn't have had to go through this tonight."
Even if everything was caused by Joker, at the end of the day, it was because of him that Joker targeted Issou.
"Uh, you don't have to apologize."
After hearing what Bari and Bruce said, Issou really did not know what to say. After all, she had always avoided Gotham because of her manga/anime.
However, the black-haired girl did not expect that she would still be targeted by Joker even though she had not stepped foot in Gotham.
Issou was speechless.
This luck …
There was no Shei.
Issou said to Bari and Bruce, "You didn't want this to happen either, did you?"
At this point, the black-haired girl thought of the sudden turn of events and could not help but laugh. She said, "Fortunately, there was that box of money cake, or else …"
Issou did not finish her sentence, but Bruce and the rest could guess that without the box of money cake, the black-haired girl might not have been able to hold on until Batman appeared.
However …
Issou laughed for a while before she remembered something that gave her a headache. She said, "Joker just said that when we meet again, we'll have a good chat … Hmm, something. Do you think he's just joking?"
Hearing Issou's question, neither Bari nor Bruce dared to give her a satisfactory answer. After all, based on Joker's behavior tonight …
He said that he would wait for him.
That meant that he would really look for Issou.
There was no need for Bari and Bruce to answer. Issou could get an answer that she did not want from their reaction. However, she did not give up. She said, "Isn't Joker doing bad things in Gotham? I'm not from Gotham. After I leave Gotham and return to New York, he … Hmm, will probably forget about me … right? "
In the end, the black-haired girl did not have much confidence in herself.
Seeing Issou's face scrunched up in distress, Bruce looked at her and whispered, "I'll stop Joker from leaving Gotham."
Hmm.
Try your best.
To be honest, this was not what Bruce had planned. After all, he had not succeeded in persuading Issou to let her settle down in Gotham as the head chef. Why would he let Joker taste her cooking?
After all, if that was the case, then the situation would not be him using Issou's Chinese food to make Joker and the rest stay in Arkham Asylum. Instead, it would be Issou's Chinese food that would make Joker and the rest run away from Arkham Asylum.
But who would have thought that a box of Golden Cake would save Issou and hurt her at the same time?
Issou did not know what Bruce was thinking. Hearing his tone, she could not help but feel a little surprised. As everyone knew, although Bruce Weyne and Batman were the same person, their personalities were very different.
The black-haired girl thought that after knowing that Bruce was Batman, she would have to accept the serious and unsmiling Batman version of Bruce, but she did not expect that his attitude towards her would not change at all.
Issou could not see the shadow of the vengeful demon king in him.
Issou was thinking about this when she heard Diana, who seemed to have disappeared after Bari and Bruce told her the whole story, suddenly spoke again.
"So …"
Diana's tone seemed to be holding back something. She asked, "The Golden Cake that Issou prepared for me was eaten by Joker! It's over! It's over!? "
Wonder Woman did not know about this at first. After all, she rushed over from Paradise Island to attend the banquet tonight purely because Issou was also attending. How could she have known that the black-haired girl would be so considerate as to prepare a snack for her?
It was precisely because of this reason that after hearing what Bari and the others said, Diana, who was just listening to the story, instantly exploded — —
That's!
Issou's special!
The snack he made for her!
Damn! Damn!
That bastard clown actually ate all of her pastries!!!
"Uh."
Hearing Diana's words, Issou and the others could not help but turn their heads to look at her. They saw that she was expressionless at the moment. Even if she was not angry, they could tell from her tone that she was about to turn into a pufferfish.
But thinking about it, after all, that was a snack made by Issou himself, and it originally belonged to Diana. In the end, she did not even take a whiff of it before it went straight into Joker's stomach …
Alfreid, who had his last piece of Golden Cake snatched away by Bruce at noon today, although he did not turn into a pufferfish because of his young master, but …
Dissing his young master was revenge from the old butler, Ah Fu.
"Okay, you don't have to answer."
Diana saw the expressions on Issou and the others' faces and understood what was going on. Her face immediately darkened, and she said to Issou, "There's no need for you, Bruce."
Thinking of the box of snacks she missed, Wonder Woman gritted her teeth and said, "It's not impossible to make Joker stop bothering Issou — —"
"Just beat him to death."
As soon as she finished speaking, Diana did not give Bruce and the others a chance to react at all. She directly jumped out of the car.
Diana disappeared in the blink of an eye. Issou looked at Bruce, then at Bari, and asked, "Uh, what do we do now?"
"Bari, you go watch Diana first."
Based on Bari's speed, it would be a matter of minutes for him to catch up to Diana, but Bruce and Issou would not be able to do so.
However, Bruce originally planned to interrogate Joker tonight, so he quickly got into the Batmobile and rushed to Arkham Asylum as Batman.
But before he left …
Bruce turned his head and saw Issou staring at his pair of "cat ears" and looking like she wanted to touch them. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he pretended not to see her expectant eyes and asked, "Do you want to come? Issou. "
"Can I come too?"
Hearing Bruce's words, Issou's attention was instantly diverted. After she asked in surprise, she did not wait for him to answer and quickly got into the passenger seat of the Batmobile.
What a joke.
Since Bruce took the initiative to reveal his identity, how could she give up the opportunity to ride in the Batmobile?
However, Issou was curious. Why would Bruce take the initiative to invite her to the Arkham Asylum?
That was what the black-haired girl thought and asked. Hearing her question, the corner of Bruce's lips couldn't help but curl up. He said, "Compared to that, I'm more curious why you actually agreed."
Probably because Issou knew his identity, Bruce did not use a voice changer when talking to her. His voice was still deep and charming.
Issou, who understood what Bruce meant, pursed her lips and said, "Anyway, Joker already knows me. Now that I have you, Bari, and Diana by my side, what's there to be afraid of?"
That's right.
The black-haired girl was relying on the fact that everyone around her was a big shot, so she was not afraid at all!
But soon, Issou regretted it.
Because even if she had Batman, The Flash, and Wonder Woman by her side, Issou could not stop Joker from confessing to her —
"Oh, Sweethearts, you're here too?"
Because he ate the money cake Issou left for Diana, Joker was almost beaten to death by Wonder Woman.
Even so, when he saw the black-haired girl appear, he still laughed at her while lying on the ground. "Even though we've only been apart for a while, I miss you as much as I miss that box of snacks. I can't control myself."
Issou: "…"
Big shot.
You win.
She admitted defeat, okay?
The black-haired girl, who had completely forgotten about this, remembered the fear of Joker's confession.
Joker, on the other hand, had no idea what Issou was thinking. After speaking to her, he turned to look at Diana, who had just beaten him to the ground, and grinned. "Speaking of which, I have to thank you, beauty."
Diana, who had just been calmed down by Bari,: "…!!!"
How dare he talk to her? N * th!?
