It wasn't until Lord Wei and Diana returned that Barry broke away from the happy atmosphere. "Erm, where's our new partner?"
Lord Wei shook his head and didn't say anything as he continued to walk to the break table.
Diana explained, "We talked, but he still needs a little more time."
Luke put down his work and walked to the break table as well. "Well, Bruce is probably too handsome."
Everybody rolled their eyes.
Lord Wei couldn't hold it in anymore. "I didn't show up. Diana went alone."
Then, feeling that he was shifting the blame, he added, "It's not our fault. Actually, he still finds it … hard to accept his current state."
Luke opened the teapot on the break table and poured him a cup. "Okay, relax, Bruce. At least Barry was a good boy and came as soon as I called him. "
Barry was a very good boy: (; ´ ́ `)
Unfortunately, he was a little brother in this team in every way, so he could only endure it.
When Luke took out the refreshments and made it clear that he was about to start his routine "tea party," Barry flashed and instantly appeared in the chair next to Luke before he sat down obediently.
Diana also walked over and naturally enjoyed Luke's tea.
Lord Wei and Barry had already enjoyed this treatment. Naturally, she didn't mind enjoying the service of her teammates.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of tea, Lord Wei got rid of his gloomy mood. 'When it comes to doing things, there aren't many things that go smoothly … Uh, that silly child Barry doesn't count.'
Looking at the curious Barry, he felt that it was time to tell him the truth.
After all, the other two hadn't been invited, and the three in front of him were the real team members, so he couldn't play the game of tacit understanding.
If a team didn't establish basic rules at the beginning, they wouldn't even have a chance to be saved if they went astray.
Luke very much agreed with that.
Using a grand slogan at the beginning, even if it was difficult to carry it out and there were unspoken rules, was better than turning certain things into reasonable and legal rules.
Of course, Lord Wei was mainly "warning" Luke and Barry. The Goddess of War had been a hero for almost a hundred years, and he didn't need to worry about her depravity at all.
Luke was rich and powerful, while Barry's superpowers were almost unfathomable to normal people. If he really wanted to do something bad, he would be even scarier than the psychopaths in Arkham.
Fortunately, Lu Buwei was a refined and easy-going person. Not only was he not dissatisfied, he even took the opportunity to add some reading comprehension to the cute Barry, "translating" the hidden meaning behind some of Old Master Wei's words.
Old Master Wei felt a little annoyed. Although that's what I meant, your explanation is too lacking in beauty.
However, he could not deny it against his will, lest Barry really be misled.
Anyway, it's not like I'm making it sound that bad. Whatever! That was all Lord Wei could do to console himself.
Nobody had any objections after the team was established. Luke even raised his hand and said, "I agree."
Diana just smiled and waved her forearm. "Me too."
Seeing this, Barry raised his hand high. "Me too."
Luke: … Brother, is that you?
Old Master Wei's feelings were a little complicated. Having a professional "sidekick", or in other words, "support", was really too convenient.
However, being so considerate also meant that this "supporter" understood his way of thinking very well, which was not a good thing.
But with a formidable enemy at hand, he had no time to think about it for the time being, and could only move on to the next step.
He fiddled with the remote control for a while, and an unlucky ID appeared on the monitor on the side of the break table. "Victor Stone, a young genius scientist. On the surface, he died in an accident, but in fact … "
He switched the image, and a "person" whose face was half mechanical and whose eyes were flashing red appeared. "He probably became like this because of another accident."
Barry was enlightened. "That's really cool … Hm, fine, that's really unfortunate."
Old Master Wei looked at him in agreement. "Yes, it's cool for a bystander, but it's definitely not a wonderful experience for him, so it won't be that easy to fix."
After introducing "Failure No. 2," he switched to another image, which was of a long-haired, muscular man with neat black tattoos all over his body, who gave off a wild aura. "Arthur Curry. A hybrid of Atlantean and human, who can come and go freely in the sea. However, he doesn't seem to want to work on land, but there should be a chance. "
Barry couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. He was quite curious about these people with superpowers. After all, the three people next to him only said that they had "money" abilities.
After all, with Barry's abilities and small size, he definitely wouldn't be the main attacker.
Those who played support had enough time to watch, so it was better to watch in person. After all, he could figure out a lot of things in a second.
But Barry still raised a question. "Will our battlefield be on the sea? That might not be very friendly to me. "
Old Master Wei shook his head. "I don't know, but the Wilderness Wolf isn't an aquatic creature, and its demonic subordinates aren't suitable for fighting in the sea, either. So, it's very likely that we'll fight on land."
Barry said, "Well, then this Arthur Curry's combat ability should be limited, right?"
Diana said, "He's only weak in the sea. After all, he's an Atlantean … Well, fine, he's a hybrid, but he's stronger than most people with superpowers."
She was a demigod, and naturally knew how exaggerated this kind of comprehensive enhancement was.
She didn't need any training, and with enough training, she could become a strong warrior who could easily take on five Old Masters Wei in a sudden encounter.
Barry nodded. He had his usual silly smile on his face as he looked left and right.
Suddenly, he froze and pointed at the skylight. "Wow, that's calling you, right, Bruce?"
Everybody turned around, only to see an abstract shadow of a bat projected in the sky above Gotham City. It could be seen clearly even from the base more than ten kilometers away.
That was right. This was the legendary traditional skill of "turning on the lights as soon as Director Gordon's heart thumped."
Luke stood up. "Let's go. There are a lot of traces of demonic activity in the city. Gordon must be here for that."
Both Old Master Wei and Diana nodded and stood up.
Barry hurriedly tried to grab some snacks.
But on second thought, he disappeared. When he came back, he had a big leather bag of food in which he had put most of the snacks on the table. "It'll be a waste if we don't eat them. They cost more than ten dollars each. Hey, wait for me." He then disappeared from the table.
On the GCPD building, Director Gordon stood under the translucent plastic sheet that covered the bat lights. He raised his head and looked at the bat logo reflected in the gloomy sky, his brows furrowed.
Tonight, it was still a pitter-patter rainy night.
The cold air of early winter was mixed with the cold wind and rain. He couldn't help but put his hands in his pockets and press his coat against his body to block the pervasive damp air.
Suddenly, something appeared in front of his eyes.
Director Gordon immediately knew that it was his good friend, ah no, his old friend.
