After buying the earth [Comprehensive British and American]

Hilda didn't expect that she would receive a call from Bruce at this time.

After all, they are actually still in the delicate cold war period. Although before leaving, she was still full of anger and ran to Wayne Manor to hold Bruce down like this——

...And before Bruce woke up, he quickly packed his luggage and took Alice to New York for a business trip.

After that, there was a series of chaos. I thought about whether to make a phone call, but I have been busy until now.Hilda has experienced too many things and received too many messages today, how could she remember to call her boyfriend?

She stared at the phone screen bitterly, wondering for a while whether she should answer the call or not.

There was a "meow" not far away, and the little black cat poked its head out from the alley, as if wondering why she hadn't left yet, and it seemed to be observing cautiously, lying on the ground and staring at her.

The little black cat is watching you.

Hilda blinked, finally realizing why the cat seemed familiar to her.

——Don't say it, it really looks like a low-profile version of Batman!

It's a pity that Hilda doesn't know the color of Batman's eyes, maybe she will never know for the rest of her life, after all, she needs to take off the mask of Batman...

While looking at the little black cat, she connected the phone: "Hello?"

Bruce's voice sounded a little tense: "...I saw another alien invasion happened in New York, are you okay?"

Hilda was stunned: "...well, I'm fine." She was a little unnatural, maybe because of Xiaolan's existence, she knew her identity as an alien, so for the time being, she didn't know how to talk to Bruce. spoke.

"Thank God, I knew you were fine." Bruce breathed a sigh of relief, and then changed the topic, "...But, Tony showed me a photo just now..."

Hilda: "What picture?"

"Picture of you facing aliens in the sky," Bruce said. "Is that you?"

She couldn't help falling into silence: Isn't it?What happened to Iron Man?Do you like elementary school students who share gossip?

"……it's me."

Bruce sighed lowly: "I knew it, just...why? I don't understand, it's too dangerous, Hilda, it's more dangerous than finding a place to wait for the disaster to pass. I can't believe it, I I thought you would pay more attention to your own safety...you don't know what was going through my mind when I saw that photo—"

Hilda immediately became interested: "What are you thinking?"

"..." Bruce sighed softly, as if he had succumbed to reality, bowed his head to Hilda completely, determined not to resist his feelings, "I only wanted you to be safe, and for this, I would use all my Wealth in exchange. I swear I've never regretted it so much, why should I stick to those useless ideas? Why should I cold war with you for someone else? - I admit, it's all my fault, it's my stubbornness that caused Those are unpleasant. Until today, I realized that those are not important at all. Hilda, everything I used to care about is not important, what principles, what is right and what is evil, I just want you to return to Gotham safely, back to Come to my side—”

His voice was low, like a whisper, every word was like a butterfly's wings fluttering in the sun, shaking off layers of gold powder, and they all fell on Hilda's heart as they wished.

"—Yes, I admit, I can't leave you anymore."

These words are so true and beautiful that they can almost be compared with the sweet promises made by demons to seduce human beings.

However, Hilda just stared at the black cat. She took a step forward, and the black cat immediately tightened its body and made a defensive posture. Its eyes were still full of curiosity about Hilda, but this was not the case. Thwarting its vigilance: waiting for Hilda to move, it immediately fled back into the familiar darkness.

She was indeed moved by Bruce's words, but this did not prevent her from making other decisions.

Hilda's expression was casual, but her tone was full of sincerity: "Dear Bruce, I'm really happy to hear these words from you. I really want to go back to you right away, do you love me? Baby? She held out a hand, trying to show her friendliness, and tempted the black cat to come forward.

"Isn't my confession enough to answer that question?" Bruce replied.

The black cat took a slow step towards her.

"I love you too, my dear." Hilda smiled at the well-behaved black cat, "I have never loved anyone as much as I love you. If I could, I would do anything for you, as long as you Can be happy-"

"I hope you can come back." Bruce said immediately, "Although we haven't been separated for a few days, I can't stand the air in Gotham anymore-because you don't exist here."

"You want me to go back to Gotham?" she asked, "but I've only just come to New York, you know, on a mission from Penguin...do you mind that?"

"I don't mind anymore," he said. "God, I don't even know what it was that got me mad at you because of the Penguin? If you want to work for the Penguin, go for it." .I will always be by your side."

"No, baby," she watched the cat walking towards her little by little, "Actually, after today's disaster, I really feel that my thoughts have changed a lot. For example, I have made up my mind to Resigning from the Penguin, I should pursue my own life, walk on the path I should have gone, I should be myself, not give in to a gang leader."

"Have you got a plan?"

"No, not yet," Hilda replied, "but I think New York is a good place, at least, it can offer a lot of opportunities different from Gotham - some opportunities to 'light'. Yes, Honey, I'm sorry, but please forgive my rejection, I can't go back to Gotham, at least not right now, I'll stay in New York, I have a hunch, here I can get what I want."

"..."

The little black cat has already approached Hilda, it gently sniffed Hilda's fingertips, and then circled around her hand to make sure she didn't cause any attacks on itself, before actually touching Hilda Da finger.

"Wish me success baby, when I get what I want, I'll be back in Gotham...you'll be waiting for me, won't you?"

She lightly stroked the kitten's head, scratched its chin, and at the same time it unconsciously narrowed its blue eyes, she made a lightning strike and grabbed the kitten's nape.The black cat was caught off guard, its eyes widened, and it kept yelling "meow meow" at her.

"...Yes, I will wait for you."

He paused: "Is it my illusion, Hilda? I seem to hear a cat meowing?"

"Oh, yes," said Hilda casually, "a disobedient kitten, don't worry—"

She showed a smile: "I will teach it to be obedient."

Hilda decided to keep a black cat as a pet.

Although she has no experience in raising pets, and is in an unfamiliar New York, and there are still a lot of unresolved matters, this does not prevent her from deciding to do whatever she wants to do, and then after making a decision , Hand over the trouble of solving the problem to others.

—she called the number Kim had left her.

Thank you Jin Bin for your assistant!He immediately helped Hilda arrange a series of matters such as accommodation, car dispatch, pet hospital, and related document processing, which made her feel the efficiency of capitalism.

Carrying the cat bag, Hilda took Alice and their suitcases into the presidential suite of the hotel.

Alice was lying on the single sofa, watching the night view of New York outside the window.Most of the city's night scenes are bustling with lights and traffic, and they often look the same. However, perhaps because she is used to seeing Gotham's night scenes, Hilda can still easily distinguish the difference between New York and Gotham.

The night in Gotham seems to be darker, full of mystery and lingering viscous feeling, even those lights are like exposed fangs, full of temptation and danger at the same time.But the night view of New York can only make people feel excited, it is like a pearl, from which people can see the infinite possibilities of luxury.

Still, Hilda misses Gotham.

She stroked her black cat, and was not surprised to be scratched severely by it. Hilda was unscathed, and quickly picked up the kitten's paw to see if it was scratched, and then was scratched again.

Hilda felt that if this continued, maybe...she wouldn't need to trim the pet's paws anymore?

The black cat called "meow meow" to her. It broke free from Hilda's restraint and got under the bed.

She let the kitten go away, and asked Alice, "When do you want to go to school?"

Alice turned her head: "Can I play in New York for a few days before going?"

Hilda pondered for a while: "Martina is very worried about you, and she wants you to stay in a stable and safe place—for example, school."

After Hilda hung up on Bruce today, she received a call from Martina.She was not worried about their safety. After all, Martina believed in Hilda's force value very much. She just hoped that Hilda could send Alice to school as soon as possible. Alien invasion is such a small probability event.

"But if I go to school," Alice said, "I don't know when I'll have the chance to come to New York."

Hilda: "...It's fine, I can play with you for a day or two, and then I'll send you there—but if that's the case, shouldn't I inform the school?"

"No," Alice said happily, "I've told the professor about it."

"Professor?" Hilda was a little puzzled.

"Professor X." Alice explained carefully, "He is one of the most powerful mutants in the world, with the ability to control mind. It is said that he can discover every mutant in the world through his own ability, and can Contact them. I tried to contact him before, and it worked."

Hilda remembered this Professor X, but it was the first time she knew that the other party could detect every mutant—doesn't this mean that Professor X could easily see that she was not a mutant?

Hilda's heart skipped a beat.

She looked solemn: "...Alice, if you are asked to go to school by yourself, can you do it?"
