Origin of all things Arkham

Chapter 19 Gotham's Cancer and Hope
help?help?
Would Batman do this too?

Lin En felt that there was a certain deviation in his cognition, but he thought carefully about the movies he had watched where superheroes teamed up to fight monsters...

"hiss……!"

Lynn was surprised to find that Mr. Baiteman seemed to be best at asking for help!
In other words, it can be described in a more orthodox and official way: forming a group.

Superheroes usually occupy their own one-third of an acre of land, and they don't interfere with each other. Some even have conflicts of ideas. What's more, there may be some blood feuds between the two sides.

Under this premise, superheroes are a pile of shit when they gather, and stars are scattered all over the sky.

Only Mr. Batterman can pin them together.

In the past, Lynn thought about the reason for this, that is... Is there such a possibility? The reason why superheroes can only be connected by Batman is that they have a commonality in that situation. Language, the common enemy.

Well...that's Batman.

Although it's a joke, but Mr. Batterman's warehouse has a lot of anti-armor and anti-armor, it's not just a random mess.

His book, his notes, and the records of the means, characteristics, and abilities of each superhero made Lynn even suspect that Batman had secretly dissected Superman.

Otherwise how could he know so clearly.

Now, Lynn is sure that during the few months that he and Batman have known and been familiar, the old man may have added a few pages to Lynn in his notebook.

Most likely, there will be some directional explanations such as dismembering and burning the corpse.

"It's hard...he's already like this, and I have to help him."

Catwoman must not know what was going on in Lynn's mind when she read the letter.

Either way, her mission was accomplished.

"The bat gave you the letter, or asked you to hand over this thing to me by name."

This question is quite important.

Catwoman shook her head and said, "Neither. I stumbled upon this letter when I...well... went to his house to appreciate art.

Should I call it a suicide note more properly? "

"WTF?!"

Lynn couldn't calm down anymore, first he blew a high note as if breaking his defense, then turned around and jumped to the stairs.

Don't make trouble, this is Batman!

He also wrote a suicide note? !
Didn't Darkseid call here?
Anyway, Lynn couldn't think of any problem that could force Batman to write a suicide note so miserable.

Eh?
Suddenly blessed to the heart, Lynn turned to look at Catwoman: "Have you read this letter?"

"Ah."

"Was the letter written by Batman, or..."

"Written by someone else."

Yo, this is interesting.

Lin En pondered, maybe this is not the love debt from earlier.

In the early days of Bruce Wayne...don't forget the early years, his waistbands are pretty loose now.

If Master Ninja's daughter came with her children, Lynn didn't want to get involved in the family affairs.

If that's the case, he thinks it's good to watch the excitement.

But looking at Catwoman's expression, it doesn't look like that.

Shaking his head, Lynn stopped thinking, sat back by the fire, and opened the letter.

Just two simple sheets of paper.

The first one talked a lot about the fate of the Wayne family, the foundation, and the empty house...

On the second piece of paper, an owl is drawn.

"Oh, I got it."

Lynn understood the meaning of the nagging "last words" on the first piece of paper when he saw the second piece of paper.

No wonder Catwoman said it was a suicide note, and in a sense, it is.

"You've got it?"

"Don't say that yet."

Lynn folded the letter paper and looked at Catwoman with a smile: "Why did you think of handing over this thing to me. In recent days, there have been a lot of rumors about me outside, aren't you afraid of me?"

"... what rumors... still rumors..."

"what?"

"I still know him well. Therefore, I also know you a little bit. You and him are friends.

He...has no one to trust, two old people, a child, and a woman.Nothing can help him.

but you can. "

These words were not very pleasant to the ears anyway, but Lynn understood.

"That's fine."

Lynn got up suddenly, turned around and walked upstairs.

"Hey! Aren't you going to help? This letter has been written for several days. He is really missing."

"Of course I'm going to help. Don't I have to change the equipment?"

"What does that letter mean? To whom is it addressed?"

"Hey, it's not for the two of us anyway."

"Hey! Hey—!"

Lynn left, and the kitten also jumped out of Catwoman's arms and ran upstairs.

Not long after, Catwoman heard the sound of the upstairs window being pushed open, turned her head to look out the window, and saw a fully armed man wrapped in a quilt on a huge balloon, holding a cat in his arms , flew to the distance, and soon disappeared into the night.

"He really just left? Leave me here?"

Catwoman feels that she has been underestimated. I can't save him, but it doesn't mean I can't help!
Also, you just leave as soon as you say, what is it to throw me at your house?

"It's really the style of a lunatic."

Sitting back on the log again, Catwoman wanted to wait here, but Lynn's house...she can wait for water and electricity.

"Forget it, I'd better go back to my own home. Sure enough, staying in a big house is not as comfortable as a small one.

This time, you owe me a favor~"

Climbing up the window sill, Catwoman jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.

Walking through the door is what ordinary people would do. Superheroes don't take the usual way at all, anyway, they don't walk through the door.

..............................

Lynn didn't know much about Gotham, and even Falcone knew about it through a certain TV series.

However, Lynn happened to know a little bit about the owl painting.

"The court of owls? Or something, owl predators? Forget."

In short, this is an extremely large organization. They are entrenched in Gotham and are the real cancer of Gotham.

The foundations Batman mentioned in his letter, fate and the like, he wasn't talking nonsense.The struggle with the owls seems to have started several generations ago in the Wayne family.

Even the deaths of Wayne's parents are inextricably linked to this organization.

No wonder the old bat left this "suicide note". He must have thought that he had found a solution to the crimes of Gotham, and at the same time found the node that ended the curse and fate of the Wayne family, which is the owl organization.

"The old bat still hasn't seen the world... he didn't pin his hopes on me, did he?!
No, after saving him this time, I have to find a way to let him see the world..."

Talking to himself, Lynn flew to Gotham City in a balloon.
