Chapter 560 26. The day the bat regiment was founded · Batman and Batman's union
"You look in a bad mood?"
When leaving the underground cell of the Scarlet Castle, the Queen of Justice glanced at the silent Mason, and she said:
"Is it because of the unpleasant things you just heard? I have to tell you, these words are from your enemies, and you can't trust them.
Be vigilant at least. "
"I understand this truth. I am just combining my own considerations and the 'truth' said by others, and trying to get a relatively correct conclusion."
The captain rubbed his sore forehead and said:
"I believe what Magneto said was sincere, but that's the problem. Even if he is a witness of that period of history, it is impossible to draw completely correct conclusions through his personal perspective.
Not to mention the strong personal emotions in those descriptions.
Those things that he failed to notice but actually existed in the background are the most important factors that make up the truth. "
"Do you think that Utopia has difficulties?"
The Queen asked:
"Have you already chosen to join their side?"
"No, it's just a partnership.
I don't like the vibe over there, and Magneto is right, I'm a clone, and given the current trend of thought over there, I wouldn't be recognized as one of them. "
Mason looked at the honorary X knight badge in his hand, he shook his head and said:
"So, the current situation is that I am still a free man, and I am still free to choose my own camp, but I don't want to determine a position between the two parties."
The captain stopped, sighed and said:
"Once you have a position, you also have enemies. For the current situation, I hope that the more friends the better, and the fewer enemies the better."
"Your thinking can easily make both sides your enemies."
Queen of Justice advised:
"If the two of them are already in an endless relationship, then you who are involved in it must choose a side. This is not a question of whether you want it or not."
"Well, you're right."
Mason nodded and said:
"But we have to confirm whether they are really immortal?
If you look at the hostility between the two parties from a third-party perspective, it is not difficult to find that some things happened too coincidentally. They are in the middle of the game and can't see through, but I know very well how difficult it is to take a portion of Phoenix Force from Utopia.
Madeleine has some fog that hasn't been cleared away. Maybe my 'sister' knows more, but she obviously doesn't want to say it.
Forget it, let’s not think about these for now, if we can survive this shock, we will still have time to explore these slowly. "
He glanced back at the Justice Queen and said:
"Then I will send someone to your world to take away all the 'cute little ones' in Arkham Asylum who read books, raise cats and water plants?"
"Hey! How can you be so calm?"
The Queen of Justice said in surprise:
"This is a big mystery related to your life experience, how can you suddenly change another topic like a normal person?
If I know that I am not a demigod of the Olympus pantheon but a product of a prank by a Norse god, I am afraid that I may go crazy directly.
Should I say you have a big heart?
Or should I say that you really don't care about your parentage? "
"A little bit of both."
Mason grinned with a gentle smile, he pushed his frame and said seriously:
"I never waste time on things that are over and can't be changed. No matter where I was born or why I was involved in the dispute between the two races, it can't change that I have my own life and pursue this. thing.
The present and the future are the most important.
Like I have to feed my two cuties right now, or they're going to be so bored that they're going to blow up the castle for some fun. "
After speaking, Mason made a farewell gesture and was about to leave, but was stopped by Queen Diana.
"One more thing, about my son"
She lowered her voice and said to Mason:
"Bruce and Clark talked to me and they weren't going to let me have a baby, but the two dads were completely unaware that they had terrible bad habits of their own.
Our Clarke is a moral tyrant who always responds with the most direct and efficient executions for violations of his rules after he crosses that line.
I can't let my child grow up with him.
As for Bruce, the problem is even bigger.
I can’t even imagine the result of letting a lonely old man in his forties who wears a bat suit all day and is used to walking around in caves, and likes to hide in the shadows and think about various dark issues, to bring up children.
Our world is in dire straits, and we have to deal with the impact together with you. After that, I won’t be able to be idle for a long time. I want to find the most suitable nanny and dad for my child.”
"Why do you look at me with such anticipation? Do you think I am a suitable baby daddy candidate?"
Mason took a step back, waved his hands and said:
"Thank you for your favor, but my 24 hours a day have been precisely controlled, and there is no time for a baby who can only express various meanings by crying.
but"
The captain blinked and said to Queen Justice:
"I do have a very suitable candidate here. If you are not at ease, when we return tomorrow, please go to Osborne Tower with us as a representative of Lord World.
I will introduce them to you, and I am sure you will feel relieved to hand over your son to them.
I can promise!
Wait until the moment when all suffering is over, and you, too, can enjoy a beautiful time of peace with your children. "
—
It was night, nine o'clock, above the tower of Scarlet Castle.
Mason and Selena hid secretly on the edge of the tower, covering their bodies with invisibility cloaks that hadn't been seen for a long time, making them perfectly hidden in the shadows.
This kind of contact is too intimate, but neither Mason nor Catwoman takes it seriously. The relationship between the two of them is quite complicated, but what is certain is that there is no **** factor mixed in between the two .
If you have to say it, it is probably similar to the relationship between a foster mother and a godson.
"They're coming soon."
Selena grabbed a pocket watch and looked at the time, and said to Mason beside her:
"Are you sure that the monitoring device placed will not be detected?"
"I didn't let it go."
Mason pouted and said:
"I'm not absolutely sure that I can hide this kind of thing from Bruce, and there are still two Bruce, so the best way not to be discovered is not to do such dangerous things.
But I brought this. "
He took out two tubes of medicine and gave a bottle to Selena, explaining:
"This thing extracted from Lawyer Ma's serum can temporarily strengthen hearing, and the place we are hiding in can ensure that even if the two Batmen fart during the conversation, you can accurately capture it."
"It's easy to describe! There are no shortcomings except disgusting."
Catwoman curled her lips, twisted off the lid and took a sip, then pursed her lips and said:
"Orange flavor, it tastes good."
"That's right, we are now masters of alchemy, and the taste is also an important criterion for all the products of the Mason Potion Group."
The captain smiled and downed the passion fruit-flavored potion in his hand. A few seconds later, his already very powerful Isu senses were strengthened again, and his ears trembled to catch all the wind and grass around him.
Catwoman's breathing, the sound of her hair passing through her ears, and the squirming of her stomach.
"What did you have for dinner today?"
Mason whispered in surprise:
"Isn't this voice too indecent for an old lady?"
"You talk too much!"
The catwoman with a stinky face patted Mason on the head, but the two of them stopped talking at the same time.
There was a faint sound of the cloak crossing the night sky, and then the master of Gotham world quietly landed on the edge of the tower, just at the border of moonlight and shadow, allowing half of his face to be hidden just right.
Under the eyes of Mason and Catwoman with suppressed smiles, the landed master habitually probed around, groping every corner and corner to confirm that there was no listening device, and then took out an instrument for testing.
Fully proved his instinct in this area, and fully proved that even Bruce Wayne can't be handsome 24 hours a day.
Just now, the old man pouted his buttocks and snorted to find the monitor, which is enough to prove that he also has unseemly moments.
"Come out! I see you."
The master suddenly said something, and the only response to him was the whistling wind in the night.
This is cheating.
Mason and Catwoman definitely couldn't be fooled like this, but the master's scolding really had an effect.
In the next second, during the removal of optical concealment, the figure of the gray bat of Lord World appeared on the edge of the cornice of the tower. This guy folded his arms and let his cloak fly under the moon. It is also the classic pose of Batman. .
Two pretenders!
Mason and Catwoman had this thought in their hearts at the same time.
"Clark will not eavesdrop on this conversation, this is an agreement between me and him."
Master took the initiative to say:
"But your Overlord Superman is a pragmatist."
"I have a jammer on me."
The gray bat touched the armed belt and said:
"He can't hear."
"Very well, let's get down to business."
The master folded his cloak and retreated into the shadows, looked at the gray bat, and said:
"You want to know about Mason?"
"Um."
Grey Bat answered bluntly:
"As the initiator and host of this joint operation, it is necessary for me to know everything about Mason Cooper as evidence to judge whether he is credible."
"We trusted him."
Master replied, but the next moment another master whispered:
"Is it possible that he wants you to trust him? And how could the word 'trust' come out of Batman's mouth? Either you have been disturbed by him, or you are no longer suitable for this job.
But no matter what the result is, you are no longer a qualified dark knight. "
"I admit."
Master did not refute.
In the silence of the night, he said seriously to his other self:
"I'm kind of tired of this life, I want to settle down and pass this mantle on to the next person, I spent the first half of my life in loss, but now I have a chance to embrace the perfect life.
When I came up with this idea, I really wasn't a qualified Batman anymore.
You. Have you ever trusted someone completely?
I gotta tell you, it felt good. "
Gray Bat didn't choose to answer this question, he just stretched out his hand, and the master threw a bat-shaped hard drive over, which contained all the information about Mason.
Obviously, he already knew what Gray Bat wanted to talk about before going to the appointment and made preparations in advance.
Although these two people come from different worlds, they have completely understood each other's personality and behavior patterns based on their own understanding.
"Your Lord Superman is a hidden danger."
Master reminded in the dark:
"If peace really comes, his set of rules of justice must be constrained, but coercive methods will lead to new conflicts. After Louise's death, Lord Superman has dedicated himself to order, and he will not allow anyone to destroy him. plans for the world.
The problem is, he's not always right, there's always a pretty extreme element to the Kryptonian personality. "
"Diana and I will restrain him."
Grey Bat said in a hoarse voice:
"I also have a set of 'anti-superman tactics', just like you. But in my opinion, a Batman who is no longer firm is the biggest hidden danger in the Justice League.
You're getting softer, Bruce.
It's not a bad thing, but it's not Batman's way. "
"This is also your weakness."
Master retorted:
"I knew you were dealing with the same issues as I was when I saw the protectiveness in your arms as you hugged your child. We are all dark knights made of pain and loss, but we all have A reason and an opportunity to embrace life.
What I'm thinking about now is also what you're hesitating about.
The identity of Batman will be abandoned one day, and we will return to the life of Bruce Wayne, me and Selena, you and Diana.
That was the best ending.
But before that, we have to fulfill our final duty to our companions and the world, we are all becoming soft, which, as you say, is a terrible weakness.
so.
Join us, Bruce. "
Master paused and said:
"A problem that Batman cannot deal with can be solved with the help of two Bruce Waynes. We should form a small group, a small group that belongs only to Batman."
"I have a better idea!"
The gray bat jumped and landed beside the master, he lowered his voice and said to the master:
"We both have certain doubts about this alliance, which stems from the sense of uneasiness in our hearts. To reassure each other, we must hand over the treasured things to each other, let alone deal with the fourth shock together. kind of event.
Identity swap!
Before the shock is over, we exchange identities with each other to protect each other's worlds. This is the best way for both parties to cooperate with peace of mind.
This way, you can protect your son, and I can protect mine. "
"I agree."
Master nodded without any hesitation.
He already had this thought in his mind, the conversations with himself were always so smooth and easy, the two of them couldn't hide their true thoughts from each other at all.
They exchanged a set of each other's bat suits, and then completed a quick change in the dark. This scene completely fell into the eyes of Mason and Selena, and the two looked at each other with strange expressions.
"last question!"
The gray bat put on the old man's shoulder, put his hand on the old man's shoulder, and he said softly:
"About my child."
"There will be the perfect man to look after him until you truly embrace peace and you can take off this suit."
Master replied:
"I assure you with my life that you will accept this suggestion from the bottom of your heart, and you can also see it with your own eyes. But I suspect that our exchange of identities cannot be hidden from Mason.
So if he asks, don't hold back.
It is not easy to gain his trust, but I believe you can do it.
He's the most perfect Robin you can think of. "
"Your trust in him scares me."
Grey Bat said in a hoarse voice:
"It's like a knife that you handed over to the people behind you. It will be pierced through the heart at any time. But I also want to remind you that you must pay attention to strategy when getting along with the Lord Superman."
"I know."
Master retreated step by step into the darkness and said:
"If you get him to trust, then so can I, good luck."
"good luck."
The two said goodbye to each other.
Then one of them disappeared into the light and shadow of optical cloaking, and the other shot out his flying claws and disappeared in the night, leaving only Mason and Selena hiding on the edge of the tower.
They waited patiently for two minutes.
After the master and the gray bat reappeared one after another to confirm that no one was eavesdropping, they moved away under the protection of the invisibility cloak.
"This is so exciting."
Mason complained:
“The idea of two Batmen swapping identities to protect each other’s worlds sounds incredible.”
"I think it's quite interesting."
Selena put her hips on her hips, licked her lips, and said:
"Tell me, should I take this opportunity to try other Bruce's."
"If you're not afraid of being hacked to death by the Justice Queen or leaving your Bruce heartbroken."
Mason rolled his eyes and said:
"I know you have nine lives, but please, sister, don't play dead in this kind of thing."
"I'm afraid my Bruce will be eaten by Diana. With his small body, the Amazon queen can't even resist if she wants to force him.
Also, look at that smirk on your face. "
Catwoman also complained:
"What? Does it feel so good to be trusted by Bruce?"
"That's Batman!"
Mason snorted and said with a smile:
"Being trusted by him alone is enough to make me proud. Don't even mention me. When the master said to his other self that he wanted to give up his identity as Batman because of you, wouldn't you Almost cried?
This kind of silent confession is the most romantic, right? These rich second-generation girls really have a way of picking up girls. See, you have been eaten by him so hard that you can't get rid of it.
Although this means that he has just set an incredible flag, but I think you will have a happy ending. "
