I'm the villain in Gotham

...Midtown Middle School?

Lotkea was driven out of the laboratory by Tony in a daze, and hesitantly thought as he walked, isn't that...Peter's school?

For the past two days, Lotkea has been circling Tony, and the original plan to go to Peter's house had to be temporarily put on hold.Fortunately now, Lotkeya doesn't need to find another deliberate reason, just go to Peter's school and pretend to meet by chance.

Moreover, while looking through the project plan and lecture time, Lotkea thought wickedly, would Peter be scared to death when he found out that his new friend was a professor who gave lectures?

……

"Hey, Peter." Harry poked Peter: "What are you doing? The lecture will start in a while, and we won't find a good seat if we don't go."

"Uh, um, wait a minute, Harry." Peter struggled to pile his too many books into the drawer, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "Ha, let's go."

They came to the lecture hall, and as soon as they entered the door, Peter saw Mary Jane stand up from her seat and wave to them.

"Look, it's MJ!" Harry pulled Peter and ran over: "That's great, she has a seat for us."

Seeing them coming, Mary Jane made way to the side, Peter sat in the middle, and Harry sat on his right: "It's almost time, I saw Mr. Walker and the principal. Hey, what about the professor who gave the lecture?" He hasn't come yet, who is he?"

"No," Mary Jane pointed to the screen. Below the title was a line of people's names written in small characters: "Lotkea Dark." She read, and tapped her chin with her beautiful red nails: "I heard that this time The activity was proposed by our school to Stark Industries, and he should be a researcher working in Stark."

Peter thought the name sounded familiar, squinted his eyes for a while, and then had a flash of inspiration: "Hey, I've heard of him. But he shouldn't be an employee of Stark Industries, he's from Gotham." Seeing Harry and Mary Jane looked at him, Peter stroked his hair, and said: "I read this mentioned in a science magazine, this Dr. Duck is very famous in the academic world, and now many new applied technologies include his Shadow is the ace scientist of Wayne Enterprises. But for some reason, he seems to be reluctant to accept interviews, so outsiders don't know much about him."

"Oh, speaking of this, I also remembered it." Harry recalled: "I once heard my dad tell his secretary that many groups wanted to recruit him, and Lex Luthor even personally Talked to him, but was turned down."

"Really?" Mary Jane's eyes lit up, as if she had seen a piece of news beckoning to herself: "But why did he appear in New York? This is a joint activity between our school and Stark Industries. Could it be that he has Recruited by Stark Industries?"

"Probably because of the relationship between Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne," Harry explained: "You should have heard that the two of them have known each other since childhood and have been good friends until now. Wayne Enterprises and Bruce Wayne Tuck Industries often has joint projects, and maybe Dr. Dark came to New York because of this."

Peter nodded, feeling that what he said made sense.

Mary Jane was not too convinced: "Not necessarily," she said, "Maybe there are other inside stories... Anyway, just wait and see, I will investigate clearly."

Peter and Harry looked at each other and shrugged: Oh, reporter.

"Ahem," just as their discussion came to an end, the microphone on the podium also rang.The principal was standing on it: "Students, be quiet."

The lecture hall, which had been buzzing with excitement, quickly quieted down. Realizing that the master of the lecture was finally about to show up, everyone stretched their necks and looked eagerly at the door of the lecture hall.

The door was opened, and following the headmaster's first applause, a figure walked in from outside without haste.

He was tall, not muscular, but with a slender waist and long legs. The well-tailored suit outlined a smooth waistline and long, straight legs.His face was very handsome, with a straight nose, and his icy blue eyes were like frozen lakes in winter, or some kind of crystal clear gemstones, shining brilliantly under the light.

The moment he appeared, the applause in the lecture hall suddenly weakened, and then resounded violently.

"...Wow," Mary Jane was stunned: "This...it's not what I imagined."

Harry was also stunned for a while: "... To be honest, from what my dad said, I thought he was at least a middle-aged man."

There are not a few people who have this idea at the beginning, but the reality is shocking.Professor Darke stopped in front of the podium, smiled at the students of Midtown Middle School, and said in a warm voice, "Hello, everyone, I am Lotkea Darke."

As soon as the words fell, a bold senior girl asked loudly: "Professor Dake, do you have a girlfriend?"

He froze for a moment, with a helpless smile on his face.

Mary Jane said: "I seem to know why he doesn't want to be interviewed."

"You're right," Harry agreed. "Honestly, if it were me, I probably wouldn't want a group of people staring at my face instead of my talent. Right, Peter?"

Speaking of Peter, Harry and Mary Jane suddenly realized that Peter hadn't spoken for a long time, and it wasn't like him.The two of them looked in the middle and found that Peter's eyes were straight and dull, and his eyes were fixed on Professor Duck in a daze.

Mary Jane called, "Hey, Peter?"

Harry waved his hand out in front of Peter.

But Peter didn't react at all as if he didn't see them.Harry and Mary Jane looked at each other.

Mary Jane: Well, he likes this look?

Harry shrugged: I don't know.

While the two friends were wondering, Peter's own... soul was immersed in shock and disbelief: "...My God." He suddenly made a sound, stretched out his hand and tightly covered his mouth, in order to stop himself from being startled. call out.

Harry poked him curiously: "Peter?"

Peter stammered and spoke incoherently, as if suddenly remembering that there were two friends around him: "He, he! Oh my God, he is Lotkea Dark!"

Mary Jane raised an eyebrow: "What?"

"That's what I told you a few days ago!" Peter gesticulated randomly around his body to show the excitement in his heart: "I'm on the road, hot dog, Flash, I Best car ever in my life, red tank, donut!"

Although these words are unrelated, after hearing Peter's detailed description once - maybe several times - Harry and Mary Jane can fully understand what he is talking about: "Wait, you said him? "

Harry asked in surprise, "Professor Dark is the gentleman who helped you drive away Flash that day?"

Mary Jane's eyes showed the light of seeing the big news: "And he took you to drive to save a little boy from the Red Tank, and he even knows many superheroes who live in New York!"

"Yes, he...he said he is from Gotham, and he has only been in New York for a few days." Peter covered his face: "My God, I didn't think of it at all before."

He opened his hands and looked at Lotkea standing on the podium through his fingers, thinking that this is too coincidental.His new friend turned out to be a professor giving lectures!

And, um, to be honest, after reading that issue of the science magazine, he became very curious about Lotkea Dak.As a nerd who is very interested in science, he knows many of Lotkea's inventions mentioned in the introduction, and he can't help being very interested in the people who invented these technologies.

On the day he met Lotkea, he gave him a music box he assembled himself, but if he knew that he was Lotkea Dark himself, he would definitely—

Well, in front of him, Peter felt that he had nothing to offer.

While he was thinking wildly, Lotkea on the podium seemed to sense something and looked in Peter's direction.

Because it is a group of middle school students, there is absolutely no need for Lotkea to turn this lecture into an academic seminar with a particularly high technical content. He only picks interesting places to talk, and the purpose is to make students interested in this direction .As for the future, it's up to them.There are many things that can interest people, but research is always boring.

Therefore, lecturing does not require Lotkaia to exhaust his brain too much. He devoted part of his energy to looking for little friend Peter, and it didn't take long before he saw him in the left side of the middle row.

Peter only felt that Lotkea's eyes on the students shifted from the side, and he was slightly startled when he saw him, showing a slightly surprised expression.

Afterwards, his brows and eyes softened, and the corners of his lips slightly raised towards Peter.

The moment their eyes met, Peter's face blushed immediately, he smiled at him shyly, stretched out his hand and waved it slightly.

Harry nudged him. "Looks like he recognized you."

"Of course, cough," Peter said uncomfortably, "we've only met for a few days."

They didn't interact much after that, and after spotting him, Lotkea's eyes would turn around him from time to time.I don't know if it's an illusion, but Peter always felt that Lotkea looked at him softer than others.

Uh, after he finishes his lecture, should he go and say hello, Peter wondered.I don't know if Lotkea is willing to let others know that he knows a middle school student, or can he quietly ask for a phone call or something?Being a friend is such a failure, I didn't even find out his name until I was in class...

While Peter was listening to the class, he couldn't help thinking about it.But it is undeniable that Lotkeia is really good at lecturing. Under his gentle and elegant voice, two hours passed quietly. Peter watched it secretly. The troublemakers who don't like listening to lectures the least don't doze off as usual.

He is too good.In the voice of Lotkea announcing the end of the lecture, Peter thought from the bottom of his heart.

Lotkea tidied up his handouts, and planned to find an opportunity to meet Peter in the school after leaving, and warned Flash by the way—since Peter didn't want to, he had to come to do a little favor.

Suddenly, the principal who was hurriedly called out just now hurried back and wiped the sweat from his brow: "Professor Darke, students, wait a little before leaving."

Lotkea looked at him strangely: "What happened?"

"A little accident happened. Of course," a voice that Lotkea is very familiar with, and can be heard every day from the door these days: "To be precise, it was a small surprise."

His figure appeared in the lecture hall, and the next second, the quiet venue was almost overturned by screams and cheers.

"Tony Stark!!!"

Seeing his idol again at a time and place that he never thought of, Peter almost jumped out of his seat: "Mr. Stark?!!"

Tony was not surprised by these cheering waves and everyone's enthusiastic eyes. He opened his arms and accepted the fanatical love for himself without any burden: "Look, let me just say, this is a surprise."

"...Tony?" Amidst the loud cheers, Lotkea asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"Oh, you said this." Tony reached out and pinched the temples of the sunglasses, and slowly pinned them to the pocket on his chest.Then he made a gesture for everyone to be quiet, with a smile on his face that made Lotkea a little unpredictable: "The cooperative activities between Stark Industries and Midtown Middle School are not only lectures, but also I personally bring Come, a little surprise."

As he said that, he snapped his fingers, and several people came in from the outside pushing a cart of freezers: "Anyone who is here today can get a Stark special - ice cream."

Amid the cheers that sounded again, Lotkea thought hesitantly.

...wait, why ice cream?
