Bruce was ordered by Diana to stay on the shore. Since Arthur threw him out directly during the last meeting, Diana believes that if this negotiation is to proceed, the big black bat cannot be allowed to appear.

"Hey, that... Do you want donuts?" Barry appeared next to Bruce with a "swish", and there were two cups of coffee on the huge box. "I think you might need this."

Batman took the glass silently, and when there was some dick in his stomach, the corners of his mouth finally became less tense, but he still didn't say a word.Barry didn't mind, he just sat down next to the man and ate those freshly baked pastries.

"So, the big blue guy. Oh, I mean Superman," muttered Barry, mouth full of donuts, who had already started calling people he'd never met. "What do you think of him anyway?"

"I remember we talked about it."

"But that's just what the newspaper said." Barry took a sip of his coffee, resisted Batman's "death stare" and continued to ask.

"What do you want to know?" Bruce swallowed the liquid, surprised that he didn't resist the question too much.

"I don't know." Barry shrugged. "Maybe it's something that hasn't been reported in the media? The savior, the devil, the hope, the destruction, or something like that."

"Then I can only say that I disappointed you."

"But that's not Superman, is it?" Barry had already gnawed all the donuts, wiping the residue from the corner of his mouth and thinking about the sea. "I mean, you're Batman, I'm The Flash, but we both know that's not who we are. It's just a symbolic name..."

"You want to know about Superman himself."

"If the question is too difficult, you can take it as—"

"I don't know him any better than you do," Bruce said, his voice even lower than usual. "I believe Wonder Woman has already told you about the battle in Gotham."

"His Royal Highness also told me that you felt that you failed him." Barry licked the sugar on his fingertips thoughtfully. "That's not all your fault and responsibility, is it? The whole world should take its share of responsibility."

"They shouldn't, and they can't bear it. They hide in the corner of the world, and with the tide of time and history, they can't help themselves, and they can't see the essence of things."

He put down his coffee and watched the rough sea with Barry, slowly rubbing his fingers.I don't know if it's because of that cup of coffee, or because this scene is more touching, but Bruce rarely chooses to answer this kind of question.

"In the beginning, I even hated him more than those skeptics. He is not related to our blood, and the alien genes in his body are always a huge threat. Who can guarantee that this mysterious alien will be invulnerable? Will not commit murder against his proteges? I traced his identity, analyzed his abilities, and searched for his weaknesses. I have always regarded him as the most terrible enemy. I have no sympathy for his plight at that time, even Fortunately, someone finally began to doubt his intentions. The fear of the unknown and the hatred brought about by the disaster made me lose my original judgment, and even in the end I only had the idea of ​​'killing him'. However, when he had to When he didn’t kneel down in front of his own weakness, what he struggled to shout out was not begging for mercy, not benefit and temptation, but his mother’s name—the one who raised him. At that moment, I suddenly realized that in him It turns out that it's not just alien genes that flow, he also has humanity, a humanity that is more noble than me and the world. I guess I might plan to... er... be a... you after all that is over. Got it. But—”

Bruce licked his fingers unconsciously, some things were really hard for him to say, but fortunately, Barry continued his words.

"So you're going to start this Justice League? To honor his spirit or something."

"It's none of his business—"

"Ah yes, many times, we have to deal with more unknown new threats, so we need to unite blablablablabla..."

Barry jumped up and waved to the beach. It seemed that Diana and Aquaman had reached some kind of agreement.Bruce tossed the empty glass away, wondering what kind of compromise was to be made this time.

"Oh, by the way, maybe next time we can have more conversations like this between friends, you seem to be more relaxed." The big boy laughed and patted him on the back, while the older man didn't seem to have any back to God.

"friend……?"

"Oh, today is a big day. When I go back, I must put it on the calendar. Next time I can buy cakes to celebrate."

Barry ran towards the two of them, leaving behind the tangled bat.

"Will today's dessert be apple pie?"

When the busy Martha heard this voice, she almost broke the plate in her hand. She trembled and turned to meet her son's embrace.Maybe she should check to see if Clark is still uncomfortable, but now she can only cry and hold Aiko's arm tightly, sobbing and unable to say a word.Clark ran down his mother's gray hair, gently rocking her in his arms the way Martha had when he was a child putting him to sleep.His body and senses are still very dull, but he can already see around and make sounds.

"Sorry Mom, I'm back. I'm home."
