Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

Mindy tugged at the dress she was wearing, with an uncomfortable look on her face. This was the first time she had worn such a dress on a formal occasion. Although it looked good, Mindy felt like she was tightly constrained by the clothes she was wearing.

She couldn't help but look at Gwen beside her. Gwen was holding Peter's arm and wearing high heels. She had light makeup on her face. She was bright and elegant. She had a lot of stage experience. When she faced people's gaze, Also very indifferent.

"Aren't you used to it?" Lucas felt Mindy's unnaturalness keenly.

Mindy pursed her lips, "Well, I feel like I'm in a place I shouldn't be."

"Don't say that. There is no right or wrong to stay." Harry said, "Just relax."

"...Lucas?"

A hesitant voice sounded from behind several people.

"Tim?" Lucas looked at the person in surprise.

"Drake." Harry nodded politely to Tim, surprised to see Lucas and Tim high-fiving each other familiarly.

"You...are friends?"

"Yes." Lucas pursed his lips in embarrassment. Harry mentioned Tim as his target many times in front of him, but Lucas did not mention to him that he knew Tim.

"Well..." Harry covered his face, feeling quite ashamed.

Tim looked at Harry's reaction and was a little confused. He didn't realize that his achievements had made him a role model for his peers.

"Oh my god, you're Tim Drake. I've seen you in the newspapers and on TV." Gwen quickly helped Harry out.

"Hello." Tim smiled and nodded to Gwen, whom he had met once.

He was deeply impressed by this brave and smart girl, and... Tim's eyes swept past Peter and Mindy, Spider-Man and Superkiller. There was no doubt that Lucas already had his own mature team.

Mindy poked Lucas' arm and asked in a low voice: "You have too many friends..."

Many friends? Lucas had never thought that such an adjective could be applied to him. Compared with the partygoers in school, they were more like a group of weirdos who hugged together to keep warm.

"...So, you are here for Luther." After the conversation, Tim suddenly said.

There were no gaps between peers, and coupled with his relationship with Lucas, Tim easily broke into the Phantom Thieves and started chatting and laughing with them.

"That's right, what about you, Tim?" Lucas asked, "Is it also for Luther?"

He knew Tim Robin's identity, so he had no qualms about asking.

Tim twitched the corner of his mouth. Sometimes Lucas is really direct, but it doesn't matter if his identity is revealed in front of him. He really doesn't want more people to know his secret. The identity of the Bat family is really sensitive. If you know one of them, you can guess the rest.

Robin's identity is no longer something he can just tell if he wants to, it's a secret about the whole family.

"The main reason is that I received an invitation from the Lex Group, so this time I am here on behalf of the Wayne Group." Tim said.

As he spoke, he winked slightly at Lucas.

The implication was obvious enough that Tim believed Lucas understood.

Sure enough, Lucas didn't mention the reason for Tim's coming here. After chatting for a while, Tim excused himself to go to the bathroom and left.

He waited in the bathroom for a while, and Lucas came to the bathroom later.

"I knew you knew what I meant," Tim said with a smile.

"Tim really came with a mission."

"It can't be said that I have a mission." Tim sighed, "This time I am investigating on my own."

Time was tight, so Tim kept things short.

"As early as a few months ago, I discovered that there was a big gap in the flow of supplies from the Lex Group. Finally, I found that the missing supplies were all transported to the headquarters of the Lex Group. This means that there must be a certain amount of underground space in this building. There is something else."

"Aren't these supplies for Superboy?"

"Yes, but we have no evidence." Tim said, "Just like the police, arresting people without evidence will put us under great pressure from public opinion."

"I understand." Lucas nodded and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Of course I sneaked in." Tim raised his lips, "Now is the best time."

"Do you need my help?" Lucas asked.

"Well, I hope you can help me cover it." Tim said, "If I don't show up for a long time, I might be suspected."

"Okay." Lucas agreed simply.

But... he looked at Tim, who was alone, and said worriedly: "Are you the only one?"

"Hmm, don't worry, I'm already a veteran." Tim said confidently.

"By the way." He remembered something and took out a small earphone from his pocket. "Wear this. If anything happens at the banquet, you can contact me."

……

"You're finally back." Harry looked at Lucas and joked: "You've been gone for so long, we all thought you fell into a pit."

"Uh...sorry." Lucas looked innocent.

"It's okay, you didn't come too late and didn't miss the best part." Harry pointed at Luther who was talking to secretary Macy, "The reporters are ready."

Right in front of the venue is already

Before long, Luther walked to the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to once again thank you for your generosity. Together we will rebuild our city and ensure that Doomsday never happens. You have all seen him on the news and you have seen the Lake in him. The logo of the Sri Lankan Group.”

"Yes, I will introduce you to this new Superman of Lex Group——"

Luther's tone gradually became higher, and he raised his arms and pointed to the sky, "Please!"

A blue shadow streaked across the sky, passing through the screaming crowd, and finally landed on one knee, landing in a superhero style and reaching the stage.

The super boy wearing black disc sunglasses stood up, flipped his hair and waved to the crowd below with a proud expression.

Although he has seen Superboy in the news and on social platforms, this is the first time Lucas has seen him live.

Superboy looks very much like Superman. His black hair is slightly curly, his features are deep and handsome, and the smile at the corner of his mouth makes him more youthful than Superman. If there is any regret, it is that Superboy did not meet Superman. The same clear blue eyes, but with a little green mixed in the blue, making them look a little gray.

There is no doubt that it is an extremely beautiful face, but...

Lucas couldn't help but touch his face. He didn't pay attention to many things at first, but once he started paying attention, he could find many strange things.

Lucas had already put on glasses before Superman debuted. He was used to the appearance of himself wearing glasses. Until the death of Superman and the appearance of Superboy, Lucas was frequently in the news about them, otherwise Otherwise, he wouldn't have discovered that this face looked exactly like Superman.

No, maybe it was a slap in the face. Lucas thought calmly.

Thinking of Superboy's graceful landing from the sky, and then thinking about his initial weakness, if he hadn't awakened the persona, he might still be the weakling who couldn't lift his hands and resist. How could he have the power of Krypton? What about blood?

"Hello, ladies!" Superboy, who only reached Luther's shoulder, pulled the microphone in front of Luther. "If you want a qualified hero, I can..."

Luther grabbed the microphone directly and stretched out an arm to block Superboy, who was first shocked and then pouted with an unhappy expression on his face.

"I promise you that as long as LexCorp exists, Superman will exist and Metropolis will be protected."

On the other side, Tim used the watch-type computer he carried with him to hack the surveillance of the Lex Building, and carefully followed the safe passage to the underground of the building.

As Tim expected, there was a lot of space underneath.

A biology lab?

The blue eyes under the domino mask narrowed slightly.

Sure enough, he was looking for the right place.

Just when Tim wanted to go further, the sound of a conversation between a man and a woman made Tim hide.

The woman is Lois Lane. In the past six months, she and Clark have experienced a lot, and she has gradually gotten closer to the mysterious small town boy, and discovered the true identity hidden under the wide suit-Superman.

As a reporter who is extremely dedicated to the truth, Louise has been in danger many times. Thanks to Superman's many rescues, she did not die unexpectedly.

When you lean on those generous arms, with a handsome face next to you, and a gentle magnetic voice in your ears, soaring high in the sky with the world's strongest superhero, who wouldn't be moved? .

Louise and Clark quickly fell in love, and even Martha in Kansas knew that Clark had an extra girlfriend.

However, Louise never imagined that Clark would leave her in this way, and Luthor, a bastard, actually used this method to create a new Superman!

Thinking of Superboy's face that resembled her lover, Lois couldn't accept it. What's more, Superboy had such a flamboyant personality and liked to talk about pretty urban girls. Except for his face, he looked nothing like Superman.

There was no time to be sad. When Louise was invited to Luther's press conference, she was already determined to find evidence that Luther was conducting illegal biological experiments in private.

It was just that she was in trouble when going out. As soon as she sneaked in, she was unlucky enough to meet a staff member.

No, maybe not unlucky.

Louise looked at the name on the man's badge on his chest and smiled.

Dabney Donovan, a senior doctor of genetics, was recruited by the Lex Group a year ago and often comes in and out of the Lex Group. His research project is to conduct molecular-level research on DNA.

Tim observed every move of the two men and recalled the doctor's information.

There is no doubt that this is the researcher responsible for cloning Superman.

Watching Louise boldly test Dabney, Tim was helpless.

Batman and Superman are the best partners, and even their Robins have been taken care of by Superman. Tim has already read Louise's information, and it is precisely because of this that he can't worry about Louise.

Dabney's appearance is not outstanding, and because he is busy with experiments, he has no time to go out and socialize, so he has not touched a woman for a long time.

This time I happened to meet the sexy Louise. Her eyes were glued to Louise and she didn't want to move away at all.

While he was fantasizing about spending a spring night with such a beautiful woman, he was talking to Louise about his achievements.

Louise endured this guy's disgusting gaze and echoed in a pretentious manner, "So, you are responsible for everything here?"

Dabney subconsciously wanted to agree, but he quickly reacted and swallowed the words.

Everything here is Luther's property. If Luther knows, he will be finished.

"That's not true. This is the Lex Building, but I am also the project leader in charge of the entire laboratory." Dabney said.

Tim confirmed that Louise was not in danger. Dabney was just an ordinary researcher. If there was a fight, he might not be able to defeat Louise.

Dabney took Louise to visit the facilities on this floor. He knew that Louise was a reporter, but he showed these things to Louise carelessly, indicating that there was nothing important on this floor.

The safe passage has come to an end, and the only way to continue downward is...

Tim's eyes glanced toward the elevator in the hallway.

It took a lot of effort to get into the Lex Group, but there won’t be such a good opportunity next time.

However, at this time the elevator rang, and a steady footsteps sounded.

Luther?

Wasn't he hosting the banquet up there? Why did you come down?

With a "beep" sound, Luther entered the laboratory.

Logically speaking, he should retreat now, but Tim was unwilling to go back without gaining anything.

If you work hard and give it a try, your bicycle will turn into a motorcycle.

After making his decision, Tim went straight to the elevator and pressed the down button without hesitation.

After a short wait, the elevator door opened.

Tim carefully found his way out of the elevator. Unexpectedly, this floor was very quiet.

This seems to be a storage room with many jar-shaped glass tanks filled with blue liquid filled with various modified organisms.

The monsters among them have more or less human characteristics.

Some of them curled up in a ball in the jar, while others calmly closed their eyes, as if they were sleeping soundly.

Needless to say, these are the best evidence.

Tim came to the console next to one of the glass troughs and began to use a small computer to decipher the data. The dense green numbers passed over it, and Tim's fingers almost produced afterimages.

Lex Group's defense system is already one of the best. It is indeed not difficult to intrude remotely, but since it is deciphering on-site, it is not difficult for Tim. It didn't take long for him to quietly break through the firewall.

"OK, finally done." He began to browse the files.

"Split and copy Superman's DNA...the number of experiments is 649...the experiment number...the current status...active...defects...it is recommended to freeze and rebuild the test object."

Although he had expected it, after seeing the information in front of him, Tim still felt that Luther was really indifferent.

Among the many glass jars containing defective test objects, one empty glass jar stood out.

This should be where Superboy was born.

Tim thought to himself as he came to the glass jar.

His original intention was to get Superboy's physical data, but he didn't expect to learn something shocking.

"DNA provider, Superman and Lex...Lex Luthor?"
