Metropolis, city ruins.

Leo didn't use the red sun rays.

He can't use it.

Connor, who was holding a Phantom Zone projector, hung red eyes beside him, and the instrument was aimed at Fiora.He restrained himself without any unnecessary movements, as if he was waiting for something.

The Frisbee hovered anxiously above Leo's head, and the townspeople watched sadly and angrily in the distance, and no one wanted to leave.

Kyle's urging caused Leo a headache, and his almost bottomed out blood bar made it difficult for him to concentrate.

He's still sober.

For a game character, death is an instant. Before death, he will theoretically not be affected by any adverse effects.He still walks when he wants to, and jumps when he wants to.

Fiora insisted on seeing Zod's ending so she could be exiled to the Phantom Zone with peace of mind.

Finally, Fiora, who looked at the distance with X-sight, relaxed a bit, like sadness and relief.

Connor gave the answer over there.

"Zod wanted to kill the citizens and was killed by Superman," Connor said briefly.

Should.thought Leo.He doesn't need to arrange Zod's death anymore, Luthor who is waiting for an opportunity must be very dissatisfied.

However, Superman was able to kill his Kryptonian kin for the earth, maybe Leo had too much prejudice against him.

"Let's do it," Fiora said.

She is ready to fulfill her promise and be exiled as a war criminal who failed in aggression.

Connor, who had been waiting for a long time, activated the instrument, a burst of white light shone through, and Fiora disappeared in place.

The sudden disappearance this time is not because the Kryptonians ran away because of their speed, but...

"She was teleported in," Connor said.

The boy seemed to have grown up a lot all of a sudden, looking calm and reliable.

The price of his growing up was too heavy.

"Yeah." Leo replied softly.

"Go back and get treatment," Connor said.

Leo didn't answer him.

It wasn't that Leo was delaying on purpose.He knew that the "treatment" did have a chance of keeping him alive, but that had nothing to do with his state.

If it really works, then even a corpse can be brought back to life, if it doesn't, it won't help even if the injury is treated in the first place.

In fact, he felt that the hope of surviving was not so slim.

All kinds of doubts are threaded into a thread.He did experience all kinds of bad things inexplicably, but the person behind the scene never thought of killing him.

It was more of a guiding, a shaping, sort of a "want to see what you can do" kind of thinking.

What happened now obviously exceeded the expectations of those behind the scenes. That existence still wanted to see Leo's future and see what else he could do.Those behind the scenes wouldn't let Leo die just like that.

Therefore, even if he really loses his life and becomes a corpse, "treatment" can bring him back to life.

That's how absurdly Leo believed it.

So he stood where he was, ignoring anyone and not moving.

He just doesn't want to move.

He is too tired.

"Leo," someone called him, "it's time to go home."

It took Leo a few seconds to make out that it was Bruce's voice.

Leo was sure he would survive.

But he let Bruce see him badly wounded.Bruce will feel distressed, will...will hold all the pain in his heart.

This is the second time Leo has hurt Bruce like this.

He wanted to apologize, to comfort him, to say "it's okay, I promise it won't happen again".

But no matter what he chooses to say, Bruce only blames himself for it more.

In fact, Leo could hardly feel the pain anymore.The blood on his clothes was almost dry and congealed, and now all he could feel was deep exhaustion, and he wanted to sleep and never wake up again.

But he was worried.

Bruce will be heartbroken, he will blame himself, and he will carry a heavier burden on himself.

Leo struggled to think of the right words to say.

"Dad," Leo plucked up the courage to look back in Bruce's direction in front of all the survivors, "I won."

The rich man whose suit was full of dust and scratches seemed to have been running around in the ruins to save people for a long time, and he who came to the metropolis just after fighting the clown looked dusty.

"Well, you win, Leo," Bruce replied.

That's what Leo was waiting for.

He doesn't ask for "I forgive you", "You can still go back to the bottom line", he just wants an affirmation.

Yes, he won.

His father was watching him intently, affirming him as a father in front of the world.

Leo blinked, and took a few steps forward to give Bruce a hug before his health bar returned to zero.

Bruce hugged him back, shifting his position gently so that his weight fell on him, making Leo feel lighter.

"...I'm awesome." Leo tried hard to make his tone less trembling, less like about to cry.

He wasn't so scared anymore, but Bruce's behavior made him want to vent all his grievances and heartaches.

The old father was really bad.he thinks.

"You're the best," Bruce said.

His tone was steady and composed, as if he wasn't distressed by Leo's dire situation.

Leo knew that this was just an appearance, put on by Bruce to reassure him.

Oh, liar.he thinks.

Leo, himself, never lets anyone know how much he likes them.

They are all liars.

But Leo damn didn't want to correct it, and he didn't want Bruce to correct it either.

A liar is a liar.

but……

Leo really still has a lot of things he wants to do, and he still wants to continue to roam the world.

He also wants to go to New York.

Leo could feel that his health bar was about to go to zero.

He even knew that he had four seconds left.

What can four seconds do?Certainly not enough for him to announce to the world that Bruce was the best dad ever, and not enough for him to fly to New York and hug Matthew three times.

But he believes that this is not the last four seconds.

He still has countless four seconds in the future.

"You can save me, Dad," he said in those four seconds.

He was sure of his salvation.

He wanted to survive, really wanted to.

After an intermission, he will come back again.He is so convinced.

Bruce can save him because Batman is omnipotent.

"...Leo's heartbeat?" Connor said in surprise from the side.

His heartbeat was gone.

He is dead?

Superman lands next to Bruce holding Leo.

The symbol of hope who had just slain his kindred in grief also looked bitter at the moment.He is good at rescuing, but not good at treating.

Not even the Kryptonian technology of the Fortress of Solitude could revive a dead body.

—Yes, corpses.

Survivors around wanted to move forward, but stopped because no one could help.

"Kyle," Bruce said.He didn't look up at anyone.

"20.00% seven." Kyle's electronic voice released a precise value.

This is the possibility of quantifying hope.

"Wayne Group headquarters," Bruce said.

He handed the warm body to Connor, and Connor immediately took off knowingly, and quickly disappeared into the sky.

"...Can I help?" Superman asked uncertainly.

"Yes," Bruce slowed his breath, hiding all his emotions deeply in his heart, "take me there, Superman."

……

Manhattan, New York.

"Two months have passed since Metropolis was invaded by the Kryptonians, and the reconstruction work is proceeding smoothly with the funding of Lex Group, Wayne Group, Stark Group, etc.," a formulaic female voice came from the TV, "Back to A topic we all care about, Ba Dao. Leo Wayne still shows no signs of waking up, and the Wayne Group has not disclosed more information—”

Matthew turned off the TV.

It was getting late, and it was almost time for him to put on his battle suit and go out for action.

The air was humid, and it was going to rain tonight, as he should have expected.

...now it's no longer expected.

No matter how much "Leo Wayne" is praised on social media, in the eyes of the public, he is just a selfless "superhero" who does what he has to do.

Instead of Matthew's fur mink.

Daredevil puts on his mask.

Gotham, the Batcave.

"There is still no change today," Kyle said in an electronic voice. "After fully activating Star Rock's genes, Leo's body has healed. He is healthy and his brain is maintaining a certain degree of physiological function, but he has no breathing and Heartbeat, it is speculated that Star R people don't need these."

Rockstar doesn't seem to need human vital signs to survive, which means Leo is indeed alive.

But he didn't wake up anyway.

"Is there any response from Mage Ancient One?" Bruce, who was wearing a bat suit, asked.

During this period of time, he tried many methods, from simple technological medical treatment to the Lazarus Pool in the League of Assassins that can bring people back to life, to mutants that are said to be able to heal all injuries, but none of them could wake Leo up. .

Master Ancient One is his new way of seeking medical treatment recently.

If she can wake Leo up, then Leo will come back; if she can't, that's fine, Bruce will find the next avenue until he can bring Leo back to consciousness.

Like Leo said, he's the omnipotent Batman.

"Jason is contacting me...with progress," Kyle said.

Bruce perked up.

"Go on," he said.

"According to Master Ancient One, Leo's soul is not here, but it will always come back when the time comes."

The mage's words were rambling, and even after Jason and Kyle's double-filtered translation, the content was still somewhat incomprehensible.

soul?

If, as Gu Yi said, Leo's "soul" is somewhere else and will come back after a certain time, then where is his soul and how long is the time limit?

The uncertainty of such specious discourse is too great.

"When does the so-called time come?" Bruce asked.

"Maybe now, maybe years...she didn't say exactly."

The mage's rhetoric was elusive, so Bruce put down his work and decided to go to Kama Taj, where the ancient one mage was.

Isn't it a high mountain? He has already climbed it.

"So, where is Leo's... 'soul'?" Bruce asked again.

The so-called soul is probably a kind of consciousness.As long as Leo's consciousness is found, he will naturally wake up.

"Not in the 'world of the living', that's what Master Ancient One said."

Such rhetoric made Bruce immediately think of heaven and hell.

But does it really exist?Even though there are all kinds of signs pointing to the existence of angels and demons...

This is also a new lead.

The Batplane took off in the dark and quickly flew away from Gotham City.

Bruce looked at the Batman figure on the console in the technological cabin.

It was a gift from Leo's family as "Seth" a few years ago, and it now has a place in the Batplane.

Bruce didn't know who put it there, but he didn't take it away.

After all, it was made by Leo himself.

"Where are you, Leo..." Bruce rubbed his eyebrows and whispered in distress.

Wherever it is, he will find him.

……

Looking at the bright sunshine of the metropolis outside the window, Leo tilted his head.

It didn't rain today either.

"You really like to be in a daze recently, Leo." A sweet female voice sounded behind him.

Leo couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips happily.

"I was just thinking about how to knock that thing down in the sky," Leo said, his favorite name, "Lisa."

He looked back and saw a beautiful blond woman leaning against the door frame standing at the door.She has a perfect figure, and her whole body is full of intellectual and mature charm.

The grown-up Alisa is really a perfect big sister, no matter how you look at it, she will never get tired of it.This sentence popped out of Leo's mind suddenly.

……What was he thinking about?

"You can't be prejudiced against Superman because of competition in the industry, Leo," Alisa laughed again, and changed her words, "But as long as you are happy, don't worry about him."

As long as you are happy, the person who is beaten is not qualified to speak.

"Of course, my happiness is the most important thing," Leo threw himself onto the soft sofa from the window, "and so are you, Lisa."

If you are happy, the whole world will become bright because of you.

Alisa blushed at his uncharacteristically blunt words, gave him a mock reproachful look, and came and sat down beside him.

"Did you record Game of Thrones for me last night?" Alisa asked.

Alisa had a concert last night, so she didn't have time to catch up with the show.

"...I forgot." Leo was silent for a while before answering.

He is a little strange, he should not forget.

"Leo," the blond woman sighed, "you've been really not quite right lately, and I'm worried about you."

Alisa is worried about Leo.

"...I just," Leo tried to figure out why, "just thought it should have rained last night."

However there was no rain.

Even if it rains, what will he do, what can he do?

Strange, he and Alyssa have lived in the metropolis for a long time, he has a stable career as a policeman, and Alyssa is a singer.Except that Jack, who recently finally earned money and moved out of Gotham, came to Metropolis to confess his love to Alisa, there is nothing to pay attention to at all.

Leo looked at the direction of New York and the direction of Gotham from a distance with uncertainty, feeling that he had missed something.

"...It hasn't rained for a long time," Alisa frowned and thought about it, then asked casually, "Don't you hate rain, Leo?"

Isn't Leo afraid of ghost hands in the rain?

"...I don't know," Leo regretted to find that the so-called ghost hands don't seem to be that scary, which is not normal, "I might really be a little strange."

"Take a rest, Leo," Alisa rubbed Leo's soft black hair distressedly, "You may be too tired."

Alisa's hand reassured Leo.

Could not be more at ease.

"Yeah." Leo replied.

Just get some sleep.he thinks.

He just fell asleep in the posture of lying on the sofa, but the strange feeling still haunted him.He dreamed of the Dark Knight in Gotham next door, the generations of Robin Birds of the Dark Knight, Bruce Wayne and his butler, the Green Lantern of Seaside City, the Flash of Central City, and Star City. Green Arrow, Superman from Metropolis, Iron Man from New York, and... a nice lawyer.

This is really not normal.he thinks.

When he woke up, the sky outside the window had already darkened, and the TV was playing tonight's drama, the sound was not too loud, and it would have woken him up long ago.

Leo looked around on the couch as the blanket slipped off him.

No one is around.

Leo's breathing stopped for a moment.

"... Lisa?" he called into the dark corridor.

No one answered him.

A suffocating silence spread.Even though he knew nothing would happen, he was still so nervous that he didn't know what to do.

"Leo!" There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Alisa appeared from the dark corridor. She looked at Leo worriedly, "Is there something wrong?"

Nothing is uncomfortable.thought Leo.

Wait, the sound of footsteps just now can't be made by only one person, there are others... who else?

He looked behind Alisa warily.

"By the way, we have a visitor, Leo." Alyssa noticed Leo's gaze and turned sideways to make room for Leo to see better. "Jason Stryker, he said he knew you."

Leo saw someone coming.

Behind Alisa, a man with brown hair and eyes of different colors appeared.

Leo didn't know him.

But his fist was a little itchy, as if he saw a Hangbi teammate who hadn't had time to beat him up before.

Before he realized what he was doing, his fist had already made close contact with the bridge of Jason Stryker's nose, who couldn't dodge, under Alisa's surprised gaze.

"...What are you doing, Leo?" Alisa asked with some doubts.

She didn't care much about strangers being beaten. With how much she doted on Leo, even if Leo copied someone to beat Superman, she would probably just wave a small flag to cheer him on.

What she cared about was why Leo hit someone suddenly.

The strange visitor was not stunned or annoyed by this punch, he seemed to have expected it, and now he was holding his crooked nose bitterly, trying to straighten his misplaced bones with pain.

Leo didn't know why he hit the stranger.

but……

It's cool, I want to come again.he thinks.
