Did Ah Fu retire today? [Comprehensive British and American]

Bruce and Clark are old acquaintances.

And their mutual loss of horses came from an accident.

That goes back three or four years ago, at the celebration dinner for the cooperation between Wayne and Stark, the clown performed another "hard performance".

That night, Bruce and Stark collaborated on a new clean energy project, and because they achieved the expected win-win situation, they held a banquet on the cruise ship to celebrate this success.

It's just that no one thought that the clown successfully escaped from prison again, and for his "return performance" to be grand enough, he even cooperated with Lukes!

An explosion ripped through the deck, and Iron Man held back the sinking hull, but the chaos continued.

Bruce pretended to be terrified, stumbled into the room and turned into Batman, but he didn't know at that time that in another room separated from his room by a wall, an old man who was invited The newspaper reporter who came to interview saw the whole process of his cross-dressing.

Clark is next door.

He was taking pictures nearby and couldn't return to his room in time, so he rushed into a nearby room and took cover temporarily so that he could transform into Superman.

He was only half a step ahead of Batman, but he had already finished taking off his cheap suit, revealing Superman's iconic tights.

Hiding his clothes in the cabinet, Clark immediately used super vision to see through the entire cruise ship, trying to find the location of the clown, and then saw next door to him, Bruce Wayne, the famous richest man in Gotham, quickly took out a silver Gray suitcase, and in less than half a minute, transformed into Batman.

The dark knight of Gotham, the Batman who broke the olive branch he offered countless times.

Clark's outlook on life has been subverted.

Ever since he had contact with Batman, he has always been curious about the identity of this colleague, but unfortunately the other party is very vigilant, and he has also heard about some of his deeds and abilities, so he specially added lead to the armor helmet, just to guard against him. perspective ability.

This caused him to know nothing about Batman, and he couldn't see through his identity under the armor at all. He could only slowly produce various speculations like the media and citizens of Gotham.

He has many suspects, but Bruce Wayne is not the only one.

So today, when faced with the truth, Clark was completely stunned.

He couldn't figure out why Mr. Wayne, who was so affectionate, cowardly, and risking his life, would be Gotham's immortal dark knight, Batman.

He also couldn't understand that the hoarse voice of "Get out of my Gotham" that he had heard countless times came from a playboy with a magnetic voice.

He watched Batman leave with a numb expression, and then joined in the fight against criminals and rescued the guests with a numb expression. In the end, Batman took advantage of the chaos and placed a tracker on his body without knowing it.

Then when everything was over, Clark, who was in a hurry to put on his regular clothes, simply and neatly locked the position of the tracker, and fell off the horse in front of Bruce who was rushing all the way.

The two of them, Bruce and Clark, were open and honest in that Batmobile that night.It took only ten minutes for them to go from exposing each other to self-destructing each other.

Regardless of whether it was Bruce or Clark, the expressions on their faces were quite ugly.

This directly led to Superman not daring to set foot in Gotham for a long period of time, and Batman no longer monitoring Metropolis remotely... But fortunately, everything has passed, and the relationship between the two finally eased after some twists and turns. , and returned to the original.

Yep, the one from "Get Out of My Gotham" originally.

It was as if the perfect cooperation on the cruise ship did not exist, and they were still two unfamiliar colleagues who had no intersection.

……

Clark, who turned back to 252, fidgeted and invited the master and servant to enter the door.

This apartment is indeed a bit old, because it is located near a slum area, and most of the tenants are not well-off, so they either rent a small apartment of [-] to [-] square meters, or several people share a room and share the rent.

Clark is a superhero, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble if his identity is exposed, of course he cannot share the rent with others.But because he lived in a hurry, and he really didn't have the luck like Matt, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and rent the whole room by himself before he got a small apartment.

This made the boy in the small town, who was also not rich, really feel bad for a while.

However, since the lease time was not long, he reluctantly accepted it.

Clark took out a few cans of drinks and handed them to the two of them, but they were all rejected, so he had to open a can by himself, and took a few sips of guilt to suppress his shock.

Overwhelmed by Bruce's frightening low pressure.

Ever since he was called "Honey" at the door, Bruce's face was as smelly as the day when they took off their vests, but on the contrary, Ah Fu's face was quite friendly.

Friendly enough to laugh out loud at the door.

It's because Clark is not careful most of the time, and he can see the narrowness in the old butler's expression.

Yes, narrow.

It was rare for Ah Fu to see Bruce deflate, so he was naturally very interested in it.

Speaking of which, apart from himself, it seems that it is difficult for anyone else to make his master show such an aggrieved and irrefutable expression.The experience amused him.

But if you're awkward for too long, it's time to delay the business.

Ah Fu felt that it was almost done, so he coughed lightly and broke the silence: "So, you are renting a house in Gotham now?"

This question is, of course, aimed at cramped small-town boys.

Clark breathed a sigh of relief, and answered honestly: "It's temporary. I have a long-term interview here. It's inconvenient to travel back and forth between Metropolis and Gotham, so I temporarily rented a room."

Bruce looked at him suspiciously: "Why didn't I detect you coming?"

Clark said inexplicably: "How can this be monitored? Will I still sound an alarm when I come to Gotham? You didn't install any monitoring equipment on me..."

Bruce's expression was a little subtle.This made the simple-minded boy in the small town faintly realize something terrible.

"You installed something on me?" He said to himself, deepening this speculation: "I should have thought of it, the last time your identity was exposed, you also put a tracker, so this time, what did you install again? "

Bruce had to interrupt him: "Stop your ridiculous thinking. I'm just monitoring the whole of Gotham, not putting anything on you in particular."

Clark: "...Oh."

He carefully peeked at Bruce a few times, and then got the second Batman glaring today, so he had to look away resentfully.

Ah Fu guessed a possibility, he asked Clark: "When did you move to Fifth Avenue?"

"This morning." Clark recalled, "I arrived in Gotham at noon yesterday. After I arrived, I realized that there was something wrong with the place I rented in advance. I had to re-select a room temporarily, so I rented here in a hurry."

Ah Fu understood: "That's right, the master has been unwell for the past two days, and he fell asleep for a day and a night, so he probably didn't notice you."

Clark asked with concern: "Are you uncomfortable? Or injured? Bruce, I said earlier that we should cooperate. You don't have superpowers. It's too difficult for one person to take care of the entire Gotham situation."

Bruce interrupted him indifferently: "I'm fine."

Clark said puzzled, "But Alfred just said..."

Ah Fu saw that his master was about to blow his hair, and that his cup of black tea was really not a housekeeper, so he quickly interrupted Clark and brought the topic back to the right track.

"Mr. Kent, don't worry, the master is fine." He reminded, "We can talk about other things, such as that Mr. Murdoch?"

Clark was distracted: "So what happened at the door before, why did Lawyer Murdoch say that I...and Bruce..."

He was a little hard to tell.

"You said you were on a blind date?" Ah Fu thoughtfully helped him complete it, "This is actually a stopgap measure for me and the master, and I am very sorry if it has affected you."

Clark is not delicate most of the time, but in some respects he is very sharp.

He hit on the point almost immediately: "Is there a problem with that Murdoch?"

A Fu said: "He has no problem, but the case that came to Gotham to investigate seems to be related to a new force that is out of control, which makes the master a little concerned."

Clark withdrew his sharp gaze and turned back into a harmless boy: "That's right. Mr. Murdoch is a lawyer after all, and it's normal to come to Gotham to investigate cases. Do you have any clues about that emerging force? Do you need my help?"

"I think." Bruce finally couldn't help but said, "It's not your turn to get involved in Gotham, Kent?"

"You can call me Clark." Clark said aggrievedly, "And isn't it normal for friends to help each other?"

Bruce said cruelly: "Unfortunately, Batman has no friends."

"But Bruce needs a blind date." Afu reminded his master, "So you don't need Superman, but you need Mr. Kent."

Bruce's lips moved, but sadly found that he had no way to refute.

Now, he really needs that stupid big man who always meddles in his own business!

It was the first time that Clark was so needed by Bruce. Although the content of the cooperation was not to fight criminals...but he was still very happy.

Gently dragging the small bench, he sat closer to Ah Fu.

He asked curiously, "So, what happened to that blind date?"

Ah Fu glanced at the master who was stiff all over. After all, under his resisting gaze, he finished the whole process of "Bruce was forced to go on a blind date" without any pressure, and then got a big laugh from Clark.

"Pfft!" The small town boy tried his best to hold back his laughter, "I didn't know Batman would make such a mistake."

Ah Fu said with regret: "There will always be some small accidents on the spot, but that is not important."

"Kent!" Bruce emphasized his tone, glanced at Clark threateningly, then slowed down his speech helplessly, and turned to look at his old butler, "Ah Fu, continue."

A Fu continued understandingly: "So in order not to arouse suspicion, you may have to pretend to be a blind date for a while."

Clark asked with interest, "What do I need to do?"

He cherishes every opportunity to act together with Bruce, including this time of course.

And the old housekeeper with rich knowledge about this, thought about it and said: "Dining together, watching movies, going to the park, shopping, going out on a cruise ship, traveling and vacationing... Of course, the latter two can be postponed, as long as you investigate Murdoch. , Pretending to be dating is enough."

Bruce looked at Ah Fu suspiciously: "Why do you know so clearly?"

Ah Fu paused for a moment, and then said with deep resentment: "Of course it's because my master refused to get married until he was 28 years old."

Bruce couldn't understand: "I don't seem to be very old? Why do you care so much about my marriage?"

Ah Fu didn't say that he planned to retire, he just emphasized lightly: "Your father met your mother at the age of 20, and you were born at the age of 22."

Clark stared dumbfounded at the two people who were coming and going, completely excluding him, and silently moved himself closer to the small bench, and then pulled him away without a trace.

The small town boy fell into deep doubts.

He knew that Bruce had always been difficult to talk, but he had met this old friend's butler many times. How could Alfred, who usually seemed super talkative, be so strong today?

He hesitated to speak several times, but he didn't say it.

In the end, the huge temptation to cooperate with Bruce gave him the courage, made him cough hard, and dissuaded him: "Old people like to urge marriage, Bruce, don't overreact, just get used to this kind of thing, or we Shall we talk about the future cooperation?"

Bruce, who was fighting for reason, stopped and looked at Clark dissatisfied: "Why should I get used to this kind of thing?"

Ah Fu, who was full of ridicule, also stopped, and said to the boy in the small town with disapproval: "Should I not count as an old man?"

Facing the double stares, Clark, who had endured the double pressure, let out a weak moan, and closed his mouth obediently, not daring to persuade a fight any more.
