Bart had been at DC Academy for almost two months.
To be fair, it was the best two months he had ever had. He lived with the Flash and the Lightning Kid at their peak. He even met Jay (the first generation Flash)! And the teachers and students in the school were so friendly to him — who didn't like this young man who always smiled and joked? Intense classes and complicated training were not difficult for the highly efficient Lightning Kid.
He was like a golden-red lightning that quickly integrated into the collective life. Most importantly, most importantly, he was with Hai Mei.
Well … the meaning of "together" was really, really just a literal meaning. You see,
He and Hai Mei were a pair,
Which meant that they had to spend a lot of time getting used to each other,
Studying tactics together,
Fighting crime together, being taught a lesson by the Red Tornado together... other than that,
Occasionally going to each other's house to visit,
Plundering each other's snack inventory, and so on,
That was normal, right?
"Bart! Only you like to plunder my snacks! "Hai Mei frowned and threw a bag of chicken nuggets into Bart's arms.
The latter caught it with a smile and had the momentum to sit on Hai Mei's sofa until the end of time.
It was a good weekend,
No homework, no tasks, and even no training,
Bart had planned to go home and harass Wally,
But the Lightning Kid and Artemis had a date plan,
Barry went to the Watchtower for a meeting again,
Which greatly reduced the meaning of "going home,"
So Bart knocked on Hai Mei's dormitory door instead.
Blue Beetle's family had gone on a trip,
So he was also one of the people who stayed at the school this weekend, and he planned to spend this beautiful afternoon piecing together an aircraft carrier model.
"Do you need my help?" Bart came up excitedly and asked on Hai Mei's shoulder.
"No! Go away! "Hai Mei covered her material." Also, don't drop food scraps on my aircraft carrier! "
"Really? I can help you finish it quickly ~ "Bart didn't give up and stretched out his hand, but it was caught by Hai Mei again. The older boy looked at Bart's oily hand helplessly." Bart … the fun of model building isn't in speed, okay? " She took a tissue and wiped Bart's fingers clean. "It's the sense of accomplishment of creating something new. It's like writing a song, writing a novel, raising a child …"
In the end, Bart lay beside Hai Mei, and the two of them took turns to add bricks and tiles to the half-finished product. However, Bart's thinking speed was so fast that Hai Mei slowly became the one who handed him the tools. With a helpless smile on his face, Hai Mei took half a step back so that Bart could work between him and the table. The red-haired boy sat down on his lap without hesitation, and the speed of his hands became faster and faster. Soon, he finished assembling Hai Mei's aircraft carrier. Then, he raised it and looked back with a smile. "Crash ~"
Hai Mei took her toy and curled her lips. "Very good. You took away my afternoon."
Bart reached for the chicken again and said with a smile, "We can find other ways to pass the time."
"For example?" Blue Beetle, who spent most of his spare time tracking criminals, did not have many hobbies or interests. Ever since Bart came to school, one of his few pastimes was to look after this naive and impulsive child. Was he really 12 years old?
"For example …" Bart dragged out his tone. "Let's lie on the bed together."
Hai Mei's heart beat violently — she suspected that Kajda was stimulating it. Then, she heard the second half of Bart's sentence. "How about watching a TV show while eating snacks?"
Not good. It was a terrible habit. Hai Mei sighed.
However, no matter how steady she appeared, Hai Mei did not want to become a boring mother. So, in the end, she followed Bart to the bed. The two of them put all the pillows behind their backs and picked out the TV shows side by side.
"Hai Mei actually likes to watch horror movies …" Bart laughed as he flipped through the TV. "I thought you liked movies like hot-blooded detectives or Interstellar Troopers."
"Can you stop guessing my preferences?" Hai Mei turned on the TV and switched to the news channel. There was no big news in the metropolis and Star City recently, and the situation in New York was still within expectations. However, there was a bulletin about the City of Sin that caught Hai Mei's attention. "… The mystery of the collapse of the church has yet to be concluded …"
"Let's watch this!" Bart browsed for a long time. Every film was too old for him, so he picked "The Shining" and said, "Kubrick will never go out of style."
Hai Mei agreed. So, the two of them each held a bag of snacks, turned off the lights, and drew the curtains. In the dim light, they watched the movie full of depression, panic, and insanity. Hai Mei had watched the movie more than ten times, so she could accept it well. Bart, on the other hand, began to frown halfway through the movie. In the end, he even stopped asking for food, which made Hai Mei very surprised.
"Kubrick's skills are that strong?"
Watching the staff slowly play, Bart breathed a sigh of relief and slumped into the pillows, looking depressed.
Hai Mei rubbed the boy's hair in amusement. "Get up. Don't rub oil on my pillow."
So, Bart reached out to Hai Mei's T-shirt …
The two of them fought for a while. Bart had the upper hand. He lay on Hai Mei's back, laughing and panting. Hai Mei pretended to struggle a few times and declared that she surrendered. If she didn't surrender, he would really have to wash the quilt.
Bart turned over in satisfaction. His messy red hair fell on his forehead, covering his slightly darkened eyes.
When he lay on Hai Mei's back, he could clearly feel Kajda's presence.
"Hai Mei …" Bart tilted his head slightly and looked at the slightly tanned boy beside him. "If you go crazy … like Jack (the male lead of The Shining), what should I do?"
Hai Mei was stumped by the sudden question. "Me? Go crazy? "
Bart blinked and suddenly sat up. "What if Haimei goes crazy and comes after me with an axe, or something else? What should I do?"
Hai Mei lay on the ground and looked up at the suddenly serious Bart for a while. Then, she reached out and pulled the boy into her arms. "Let's make it clear first. If Hai Mei Reyes goes crazy, he will kill himself before he kills Bart Allen. But if — if he doesn't keep his promise, Bart Allen must protect himself. "
"… I
hate
you.”
Bart still couldn't reconcile Hai Mei with the pursuer in his memory. He suspected that the overly happy days had diluted his memory of the past. It should be noted that time was a rather subtle concept for a Velociraptor.
Before he could make a new effort, someone knocked on the door.
It was Damian, the youngest son of the Wayne family and the new little devil.
The boy, who had just turned ten, already had the aura of a Batman. His handsome little face was serious. "Blue Beetle, Pulse, Mount Justice received a signal and called you back quickly."
"Emergency?" Bart quickly changed into his uniform.
"What about the others?" Hai Mei also activated her armor.
"I've already informed them." Damian shrugged. He was still unhappy about the fact that he couldn't participate in the ceremony.
A useless line of demarcation.
When Bart and Hai Mei left the school, a large cloud was heading toward Gotham. It replaced the sunset at dusk, and a dark and long battle line appeared above the gothic buildings. The storm hadn't arrived yet, but a giant beast with scary fangs had already opened its mouth in the dark.
The Dark Knight opened his wings at the same time. He jumped and jumped from Wayne Building. In the blink of an eye, he was several buildings away. The cackling female criminal flickered in and out of the darkness, obviously trying to lead him to his destination.
Something was wrong. The Dark Knight jumped down from the building, and the sense of strangeness hit him in the face. When he turned around, he could still see Wayne Building, which meant that this place was close to the center of Gotham City. However, the honking of cars that he could still hear five minutes ago was now his own breathing.
Looking around at the residential buildings around him, his sensitive ears did not catch any more sounds. There were only shadows floating in every window.
Not far away, the ugly woman continued to cackle.
Behind the mask, the Dark Knight's eyes turned cold, and he followed without hesitation.
After they exited the alley, they arrived at Gotham's Wayne Square. The ugly woman had returned to her team. She stood with the Joker, Scarecrow, Penguin, Two-Face, Poison Ivy, and the Riddler. There were bombs strapped to her chest, just like her companions. Just like the hostages behind them.
More than ten people were sitting to the side, and they looked at Batman in fear. Their hands were tied behind their backs with ropes.
Lifting his head, the night pressed down on him like Gotham had always been this quiet.
Batman glanced at the smug criminals and asked their leader in a low voice, "Joker, what are you trying to do?"
The Joker's lips, which were painted bright red, were like terrifying cracks on a pale wall. What was even more terrifying was his ear-piercing laughter. "Hey, hey, hey … Batman, my dear Dark Knight, you've always been able to guess my purpose, haven't you? Why won't you admit that we're the same kind of people? Why don't you guess again? "
Batman ignored the Joker and said calmly, "Joker, you know you can't escape."
There was a subtle cracking sound in the air, like a huge invisible soap bubble being popped. Then, with the night of Gotham as the background,
'Man of Steel' Superman was floating in the air. Green Lantern had just stepped out of his private 'elevator' when the Flash slammed on the brakes and stopped behind him. On the other side, Wonder Woman, the Martian Manhunter, and Shazam had arrived. The formation was neat and orderly, surrounding the square.
The plot was just like the video Harry had seen. During the confrontation, the Joker successfully angered Diana. Wonder Woman stepped forward angrily, and the Flash quickly grabbed her hand that was holding the Lasso of Truth.
In the corner of the square, a cloud of black fog suddenly appeared. Everyone looked in that direction and saw Blue Beetle, in full armor, holding Bart and the others hostage with a neutron cannon. He walked out of the black fog and pushed more than half of Young Master Zheng to the center of the square, right in front of the Joker.
The Flash shouted Blue Beetle's name in surprise, but the young man under the metal armor was indifferent. He only pointed the neutron cannon coldly at his companions.
The Joker laughed maniacally. "Well … How is it? Is the game much easier?"
Batman stared coldly at the other side, and his low voice had a hint of mockery. "Since everyone is here, let's officially start our game."
This answer did not seem to be within the Joker's expectations. The Prince of Crime tilted his head, and the smile was still on his face for a long time. From what he could see, there was only a golden-red shadow and a silver shadow.
Golden-Red and Silver also had a short conversation.
"You're in charge here?"
"Okay, then you go and search the city."
Then Golden-Red Lightning quickly left the square, and Quicksilver took all the 'onlookers' and 'human bombs' away from the scene at his own pace.
The time it took for them to complete this series of actions was shorter than the time it took to see this line of text.
When the Joker blinked again, he had lost all his bargaining chips, and even took away part of his smile. "Well, well … This is not a good choice. Maybe we should use a few fireworks to remind Batman —"
Wonder Woman sneered and interrupted the Joker. "Maybe we should announce …" The Lasso of Truth in her hand suddenly turned into a wand and pointed directly at the Joker. "We don't intend to follow the rules of your game."
The Joker then realized that Wonder Woman's wand was not targeting him. Instead, it was resonating with the wand in Batman's hand. A golden light quickly connected the two wands, and then he heard Wonder Woman shouting, "Disciple!"
A human-shaped shadow fell from a tightly shut window, and the golden light quickly connected to his chest. Then, the tide surged out like a sigh, and the oak forest, the misty forest, and the salt-white coastline …
The people at the two ends of the wands were changing back to their original appearances. They were Harry and Snape.
