Final Raiders Achievement

Clark said in a heavy tone, "Leona Brant, she..."

"I already know." A deep voice came from the phone.

Clark was stunned, and he said in surprise: "You know?"

"Come to the Batcave, let's talk face to face." Bruce hung up the phone.

……

Bat cave.

Bruce Wayne stared at the monitor in front of him, the bright light from the screen illuminating his face.

He has the ability to mobilize any surveillance camera in Gotham City, and every inch of the city is under his control.

The outside world and the media think that Bruce Wayne has completely degenerated and Batman has completely disappeared, but he has not.The apparent violence in Gotham had all but disappeared, so Bruce took most of his operations underground and focused his energy on research.After going through a series of things, he realized that he still has many shortcomings. Both Bruce Wayne and Batman are full of flaws. These flaws are fatal when facing the enemy. Make up for your own shortcomings and re-arm yourself.

The city still needs Batman, so he's not giving up on Gotham.He just hid temporarily, waiting for the opportunity to appear again.

"I got the news as soon as Leona appeared in Gotham." Bruce pressed the remote control at hand.

The screen of the display screen switched, and a clear surveillance video was displayed on it.

Leona, who is short, is sitting on a bench in the central plaza of Gotham, watching with great interest a mother and daughter feeding pigeons next to her.

After sitting like this for 10 minutes, Leona suddenly stood up and went to the newsstand on the roadside to buy a pigeon food and started feeding the pigeons.

"She's in the mood to feed the pigeons?" Clark said oddly. "She's not a real kid, is she?"

"That depends on what you look at. From what I know about her so far, she is a child both mentally and physically. I say this because she is not like an adult. Moral self-restraint." Bruce deadpanned.

He pressed the remote control again, and the screen on the display switched again.

Leona reads the newspaper next to the bookstore, Leona goes to the fast food restaurant to buy hamburgers, Leona wanders around the port, Leona goes to the supermarket to buy potato chips, Leona squats on the street corner and feeds the cat...

"Isn't she too laid-back, she swaggered around Gotham for an afternoon?" Clark didn't want to watch anymore, "Should we be glad she didn't choose today to plan a terrorist operation?"

"Yes, I should really be thankful." Bruce said, "I found that her actions after returning to Gotham this time were quite cautious. Most importantly, she was afraid of you. I noticed that she didn't try to provoke you further."

The two were silent for a while, and Clark said: "I understand how you feel, Bruce... I know you are very sad."

Bruce didn't speak.

But Clark knew that Bruce had placed his trust in Leona, and as a result, Leona chose a path that ran counter to his, and she could be said to have betrayed him.

"Why is her age getting younger?" Clark changed the subject, "Can her abilities disguise her age?"

"As far as I know, no, but I'm not sure if she has developed new abilities in the past few years since she left. She has always been very good at exploring the application methods of superpowers, and her progress is always very fast." Bruce frowned.

"I shouldn't have let her go like this," Clark said slightly annoyed. "She's so close, I'm sure I can catch her, but..."

"No, your choice is correct." Bruce's attitude was so calm that it was almost indifferent, "You two met too suddenly, don't provoke her before you are fully prepared."

Clarke said: "I can grab her in a split second, her defensive barrier doesn't work against me..."

"But her ability is at the level of the mind. She only needs to move one thought, and anyone within the radiation range of her ability will be directly brain-dead." Bruce said, "Unless you directly use the method you are least willing to use to solve her, Otherwise she's going to keep threatening you." He whispered, "I'll never, never let it go that far..."

"The least willing means" - kill her.

For Clark, there is no difficulty in killing people, but Clark has a principle similar to Batman's in his heart, and he doesn't want himself to cross that red line.

More importantly, Bruce's attitude towards Leona.

Bruce is not a person who will reveal his heart easily, he usually only behaves like a fragile child in front of the old butler Alfred.

After what happened to Leona, he was really devastated.

Clark is one of the people who knows Bruce best in the world, and he can guess what Bruce is thinking.

He has always felt that he is not a competent father.

He thinks he made a serious mistake to bring things to this point.

After Jason Todd's death, Bruce adopted Leona.

In the very beginning, they were like real father and daughter, and Bruce thought Leona and Jason were alike.

Orphaned, rebellious, violent, disobedient.

He was determined to teach Leona well, and in some secret corner of his mind, he hoped to make up for the mistakes he had made with Jason in the past.He warned himself to be patient and pay more attention to the child's psychology.

However, Bruce later discovered that Leona and Jason are fundamentally different.

Jason's violence is certainly due to his own character, but it is also because those criminals have indeed committed unforgivable crimes. His nature is kind and just.Leona's violence is because she wants to see her opponent cry bitterly and suffer a crushing defeat. Her purpose is pure and terrifying. "Kindness" and "justice" are just "concepts" to her.

Then, what Bruce was most worried about happened.

Leona really left him, completely releasing her evil side.

"How long has it been since you really relaxed, Bruce?" Clarke said suddenly. "Every time I see you, you're in the Batcave working on weapons. You're Batman, but don't really think of yourself as a bat." Ah, how long has it been since you saw the sun?"

Bruce Wayne's jaw tightened.

"Don't stay in this dark place any longer, go look outside. You haven't been to any parties in years, and 'Batman' has never been seen. Gotham needs Batman, and it needs Bruce. Wayne."

"Lucius will take care of the company's affairs, and Nightwing and Red Robin will help the police catch criminals who slip through the net occasionally..." Bruce said, "They're doing a good job, far better than I thought."

Clark was a little annoyed, "So you've been refusing to move out of your Batcave?"

"You don't understand, I think something big is going to happen, and before that big thing happens, I have to get ready." Bruce said in a deep voice, "There's always a voice in my head telling me that Leona will come back Yes, now she is really back. But this is not the end," he propped his forehead with one hand, "I hope that nightmare will not happen."

Clark's pupils contracted, and he noticed a poker on Bruce's table.

——joker.

"Someone sent an unsigned package to Gordon a few days ago, and it said please pass it on to Batman... There was only this card in the package." Bruce said, "What do you think this means?"

"Didn't the clown be killed by Leona? What kind of power can bring the dead back to life?" Clark exclaimed.

"This is also what I can't understand." Bruce's eyes were full of thought, "I'd rather it was a prank by a boring person."

……

It's raining in Gotham, New Jersey, but sunny in West Chester, New York.There were few clouds in the night sky, and Leona could see great swaths of shining stars.

It's only past eight o'clock, and Leona didn't play too late, but even so, I'm afraid Charles still won't be very happy.

She jumped directly into Charles' office.

"Good evening, Charles!" said Leona cheerfully. "I'm back!"

"Where did you go to play? I can't find you anywhere." Charles said with a bit of blame, "When did you learn to block my brain wave detection?"

"Actually, it will be from the beginning. I think you won't block your detection when you find it." Leona said, "Isn't it good to treat this as a hide-and-seek game? If your mutant ability level is much higher than mine, My shield doesn't work anymore."

Charles knew that Leona's mutant ability was very high, and she was very good at controlling her superpowers. Most people couldn't hurt her at all, but as a newly appointed father, it was instinctive to worry about the safety of her children.

"Don't worry about me, I'll just run away when I meet someone I can't beat." Liona spoke quickly, and she used space transfer to move back and forth in Charles' office, "Look, where I want to go, others catch me Not to me."

"Okay." Charles had a rather helpless expression, "Do you want some dinner? The kitchen is on the first floor."

"I'm actually quite full, the burger and fries filled my stomach, but I don't mind eating more," Leona said. "Is Eric gone?"

"He's gone for a while," said Charles, "but he'll be visiting you often."

"That's really great." Leona tilted her head.

Charles spent the whole afternoon thinking about his attitude towards Leona.

He often deals with all kinds of children, and different children have different educational strategies. Leona is different, so Charles needs to treat her specially.

His current strategy is not to interfere and to observe more.Leona usually has her own ideas, and too much interference can offend her.

In particular, Charles and Leona aren't actually that close, and he thinks they need to slowly develop an emotional connection, and an equal one, because Leona seems to hate any kind of restriction, even if his intentions are Protect and care.

"Let's make a deal," Charles said with a sudden smile.

"Huh?" Leona turned to look at him in surprise.

"Deal?" She laughed out loud, "Let's talk about it!"

It's usually Leona who says "let's make a deal" to her opponents when she's threatening and intimidating.

As a result, the person who proposed the deal this time became Charles, and Leona felt very fresh.

She was even a little happy, because Charles and her thinking patterns coincided at this time.

"I am your father, Lena, but our father and daughter are different from ordinary father and daughter, you should understand what I mean." Charles said, "In order for us to get along better in the future, we can do A conditional transaction, I promise you some conditions within the limit, and at the same time you also promise me some conditions within the limit, we abide by these agreements with each other and do not cross the line, is that okay?"

"It's fair, I like it very much." Leona lay on Charles's desk and looked at him. "Then, let's talk about your conditions first."
