Moses didn't know how things turned out like this.

The location is Iceberg Restaurant.He, Diana and the red-haired "Zina Sharapova" sat in a small box on the second floor.Originally, Bruce Wayne's behavior style was to reserve the venue, but the two ladies were unwilling to be too public, so they brushed their faces in a low-key way from the staff passage to the second floor, without attracting attention during the whole process, Moses only gained a few The envious eyes of a restaurant worker.

"Gotham is synonymous with chaos and depravity in the impression of outsiders, but there are also many prosperous areas in the city that are worth sightseeing. It is the security problem that limits the development of tourism." The real name is Natasha Romanoff, the current SHIELD The agent propped his chin in one hand, casually stirring the creamy soup in his hand, without seeming to taste it.The sound insulation effect of the box is very good, but the bustling voices and music from the ballroom reception on the first floor can still be heard. "After the appearance of the Wayne Group, the surrounding areas have become much more lively, but some problems still cannot be solved with money."

"Director Gordon has worked very hard," Moses said. "Of course, I'm not apologizing for some of the GCPD's negligence, but Chief Gordon is indeed one of the most responsible police officers I've ever met."

"Indeed, Apollo and Erebus have grown together, and Gotham is gradually developing in a good direction." Diana agreed, "It's like the restaurant's freezing taste is really good, even better than many Michelin stars in Washington. It's to my taste. Who's the owner of their house?"

"Currently it's Oswald Copperpot. This restaurant is very popular in Gotham, but the owner's nickname is more famous than his name." Moses lowered his head and said the name of Penguin casually, "I don't want to He judges people behind his back, but it is said that he is quite dangerous, and it is better not to deal with him unless necessary."

"So you like sweets?" Natasha turned her head and asked Diana, "Generally, girls who work out don't seem to eat high-calorie foods."

"No, I don't exercise." The heroine scooped up a spoonful of ice cream, "I just... usually do a lot of exercise."

Natasha said jokingly: "It seems that the three of us are not the common image of office workers."

Moses, who was cutting the steak, moved slightly, the muscles in his arms relaxed, and he looked innocent: "Don't look at me—I'm a man, and you know, whether it's skydiving, rock climbing, or survival in the wild, it takes a lot of energy."

The mobile phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated at this moment, and it showed that the correspondent was Alfred: "Sorry, I'm going out to take a call."

Natasha turned her head and sent him out of the box quickly, and pulled a waiter to ask about the location of the fire escape stairwell. Her actions were methodical, and she was very used to being treated respectfully by others.

Diana put the last spoonful of dessert in her mouth before saying: "He's charming in a way."

"Bruce?" Halfway through the meal, they started to call each other names, "Indeed, and I think his temperament is more attractive than his appearance. I can't think of anyone who would refuse his invitation? Unless she or He already has a lover."

"I thought you were talking about me," Diana said.

After the only male present left, the atmosphere in this small room suddenly became less harmonious, but it could not be said to be tit-for-tat—it was just that some temptations that were submerged in the water finally surfaced.

Natasha: "Or talking about myself."

The two women, who were not moved by superficial beauty, glanced at each other, and at the same time developed feelings of appreciation for each other.

"You mean Bruce Wayne's temperament?" Their topic remained unchanged, because this is the purpose of this gathering, "This seems to be the most criticized part of him. I heard it before I came to Gotham Some of his pompous deeds."

Natasha said: "Me too, he is like a second Tony Stark. Not so arrogant, seems not so genius, but just as repulsive, and never afraid of self-deprecation."

"But he won't be a second Iron Man."

"No?" Natasha looked deeply at Diana, "This is from your heart? I thought you were friends."

"Actually, we only met twice, and the police station can testify." Diana's face remained unchanged, "I want to know what caused you to misunderstand."

Natasha was silent for a while.

The sound of the music downstairs suddenly became high-pitched, as if it was a rock song.Colorful neon lights penetrated the curtains, slightly embellishing the silence in the room.

"Because I have seen a photo before." The red-haired woman finally said, "It was taken during World War I."

They both knew what that meant, and Diana didn't look much different in that picture than she does now.But how can ordinary people achieve immortality?

This topic is gradually becoming dangerous and involves a lot of secrets, but the emotions of the two people present are very stable, which comes from their grasp of the development and changes of the situation.Finally, Diana shook her head: "I don't know who you are and which side you're on, but I have nothing to do with Bruce Wayne."

"—and Batman?"

Natasha was destined not to wait for the other party's answer.Because the sound of broken glass and human screams were suddenly inserted into the rumbling music at this time, Natasha stood up suddenly and opened the curtain of the nearest window. The bright lights inside the restaurant and the outside The dense night was cut into two irrelevant halves by a clear boundary line. Standing on the bright side, they saw a huge bat-shaped shadow reflected in the cloudy night.

She suspects that people in the metropolis across the bay can see this bat light that spans the city and reaches the sky. No matter how exaggerated the newspapers describe it, it is not as shocking as seeing this moment with their own eyes.

And thinking of the fuzzy portrait in the hands of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the black widow who has been through many storms, can't help but feel unspeakable trembling in the comparison with reality.

"It's Harley Quinn." Alfred said, "After she ran out of Arkham, she probably couldn't help herself for a while, and for no reason robbed the Penguin's truck and crashed into the nearest gas station. Then There are 28 tons of tobacco inside, and there may be some small odds and ends that cannot be clearly explained."

"Coincidentally, I was witnessing part of the crime scene." Moses stood in front of the French windows on the second floor, watching the enraged Penguin push the head of one of his subordinates into the boiling soup, "But it is very likely that there will be no bats today Come out."

"what?"

"You can tell by turning on the TV now, I also saw at least two media helicopters."

Wonder Woman, who appeared in Gotham without any warning, hung the lasso of truth on the chandelier on the ceiling. She didn't even intend to hide her face, and she jumped down while holding the other end of the rope tightly, kicking the penguin flying. Bodyguards with guns.And 'Zina Sharapova' solved the guard at the gate and began to organize the guests to leave in an orderly manner.

"Wow." said the old butler, who saw the big scene on the screen, "I'm beginning to feel a little sympathetic to Mr. Copperpot. Not only did he lose money tonight, but he may also suffer bloodshed."

"Maybe I should be thankful that they won't give up other people's lives just to test me." The man's lips pursed, looking a little angrily, "How's the clown girl? Is she still alive?"

"Wait a minute, I'm contacting Commissioner Gordon... Good news and bad news, sir. The good news is that Harley Quinn is still alive, with only minor burns. The bad news is that in just a moment, the Joker himself is gone— He didn't seem to be trying to hide it, he just broke into the home of a district attorney and planned to kidnap him and take him out of Gotham City."

Moses took a deep breath and looked up, the bat lights above the city were still bright.

And the cascading cumulonimbus cloud behind it twists in the light, making it look like a funny smiley face at first glance.
