Some people in this world have a strong sense of crisis, not to mention such a trivial thing as saying a bad word across a long distance and making people sneeze, even if they are separated by an atmosphere, they seem to be born with The super-sensitive crisis sensor that had been removed began to work normally.

Just like just now, Fiona, who was inexplicably entrusted with a heavy responsibility, suddenly felt a chill behind her back.But it's not rejection, it's more similar to some kind of "unease caused by being handed over a very important matter", but she doesn't have time to distinguish it carefully, after all, life has never given people with this kind of premonition ability. With even a false 3 minutes of peace—

Just a second ago, she was still trying to figure out what happened to this long-lost feeling similar to "someone is muttering behind my back" when it was so accurate, and she didn't need to distinguish it in the next second:

Because Wonder Woman herself came to the door.

Steel frame: sonic boom channel, buy one get one free, no thanks.

"Diana!" She had spoken on the phone not long ago, but Fiona just liked this beautiful, gentle and powerful goddess. Apart from the blood relationship that had been weakened to nothing, the more important factor was Diana fits perfectly into every vision she's ever had of a female hero.Whether it is a child or an adult, everyone has their own dreams in the bottom of their hearts. People, when they never have too much of their favorite things or people, the moment they saw Diana emerge from the sonic boom tunnel , Fiona almost jumped up with cheers, but she was very restrained, just looking at Diana with bright eyes:

"It's great to see you!"

Diana shrugged, the demigod with the blessing of the old gods even casually made such casual movements with a natural elegance that seemed to be engraved in the bones, which made her and Fiona look more alike , not the one in appearance, but in temperament and action:

"I hope you're still as happy as this, my dear."

Before Fiona could utter her question, she saw the second person coming out of the sonic boom tunnel:

batman.

Unlike other members of the Justice League, such as Diana and Superman, this person seems to have an aura of minus degrees Celsius around him, which is not easy to get close to, and inexplicably makes people want to start to reflect on whether they have done something wrong .Take the atmosphere at the table before the Justice League meeting as an example. Everyone is eating, drinking, drinking, and having fun. At this time, even if Batman is just passing by to get a glass of water, just as he passes by the table, the three Within seconds, everyone can quickly return to the state of sitting upright, as serious as if they will be ready to set off to save the earth in the next second.

Fiona was no exception. The first time she saw him, Fiona's brain immediately began to work rapidly:

Why did he suddenly come to me?Did my prophecy go wrong?Or did I distort the facts out of unconscious subjective partiality when I relayed it, and he came to ask about the specific situation?It was because I crossed the wall too much and was discovered - stop, stop, stop, forget about it, he will definitely not know!

Diana was keenly aware of Fiona's nervousness, and she wanted to say a few words of comfort, but she didn't know how to say it when she was on her tongue, saying, don't be afraid, don't have psychological pressure, we just came to inform in advance Next, you will receive a mission to save a document that controls the weaknesses of all of us. Someone will definitely snatch it. Don't get stressed out, relax—

never mind.She couldn't say it.

However, Batman has no such scruples.He immediately asked directly and decisively:

"Would you like to keep a file for us as a non-staff member of the Justice League?"

Even if Fiona is not familiar with the Justice League, she has only seen their figures on TV and news reports, and heard that they are famous, but in today's posture, the advisor of the Justice League and the Amazon Goddess If she came here in person, then the content of this document that she hadn't had time to meet must be very important.

Not only that, but there is Superman in the Justice League!That is the darling of the media in another sense. The most common comments in newspapers are praise words such as "God of the world, son of justice". This Justice League who seems to have no progress in magic resistance Chairman, apart from kryptonite, the natural nemesis, nothing can restrain him at all.When he went to the Assassin League with Zatanna and others to rob people, the super speed alone was able to forcibly pull the rushing assassins back to their original positions one by one. The frightening power of words directly:

If a document cannot be protected by a person of Superman's level, what is written in it?

"Although I want to say that I am happy...but why is this document handed over to me, an outsider, for safekeeping? If I don't interfere with any confidentiality, can I know the content of this document? Sorry, it may be a bit too much to ask , but I must ask clearly in advance." Fiona chose her words carefully:

"It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I didn't expect that you would need me one day. It's amazing and unreal."

How difficult it is to get Batman to admit that this document is actually full of their weaknesses is as difficult as it is to let him not hesitate to show his positive emotions directly. As we all know, this The degree of difficulty is one thousand percent.Diana didn't agree with his approach in the first place, and the two of them fell silent subtly together, and in this fleeting moment of total silence, Fiona was keenly aware of something.

She has never been stupid, it's just that she doesn't think of people in a bad way, and she just goes astray inexplicably, but today, her thoughts were turned back to normal in this short silence and caring for each other went up:

"Is this document... something bad for you? Is it an emergency plan to prevent you from getting out of control, or an external document that restricts your rights?"

The second after she finished these two conjectures, she simply denied the latter option: "No, no, definitely not the latter, if it is the latter, then this document should be in the The Justice League is kept in the most complete custody, there is no need to find me, an outsider... that is the former? Moreover, this emergency plan was made by your own people, and you came to me in order to avoid suspicion and further external containment ,Is it?"

Diana has always known that Fiona is actually quite smart, but she is a bit easy to go astray, and she was amazed by her perfect inference, guess, and emotional perception. This is not a guess, it is simply saying The standard answer, then nodded: "If you don't want to, you can choose to refuse, dear."

She gave Batman a half-joking and half-warning look, and strengthened her tone intentionally or unintentionally: "No one will ever ignore your will and impose on you what you don't need and reject."

"And Fioshka, this is not our alarmist talk. If you choose to keep this document, then when the scene in your dream comes, when the most dangerous moment comes, you have a great possibility to join the Assassin Alliance. If you face each other head on, you will break up completely. Thalia O. Gu is not a good person, you know this, she is a person who can order hundreds of millions of dollars to kill her own son, She doesn't care about your life or death at all, and she won't give up if she doesn't use people to the last bit of value."

"Only you have nothing to do with us on the surface, you won't betray, and you have a strong sense of danger because of the protection of white witchcraft. But this matter is very dangerous, you should... think again. "

Fiona was silent for a long time, so long that even Batman thought she was afraid to give up, she reached out to the Justice League advisor, and when she spoke, her voice was calm and firm:

"Thanks, Diana, but I think . . . I can."

There has never been a way to have both in the world.Just as fire can never burn in water, the blazing sun at noon cannot appear in the starry sky at midnight, and the green leaves of spring cannot coexist in the long wind of golden autumn. The same reason can prove that people can be effectively restrained without making people feel restrained , At the same time, it is impossible for such a plan to be preserved in a safe manner without putting pressure and danger on the person who preserves the plan.

But in her dream, the former is achievable.

——When the scene that should only appear in the future, that is, the blazing and raging fire, explodes on the vast expanse of sea, the whole world will be unpredictable and even more irresistible for her will change.

——She has seen even the most unpredictable future, so how can she be afraid of the ever-changing present?

Batman looked at the slender and pale hand that she stretched out, and felt that this hand looked so fragile that he could break it without much effort, but the will contained in it was so firm that a The little girl whose physical strength is so weak that she will fall when the wind blows, and who will catch a cold, have a fever and have a headache when the cold air blows, can stand in front of him with such a fearless, calm and firm posture at this moment. Her spirit and will are not inferior to anyone A teammate of the Justice League who has experienced many battles, and even all superheroes after expanding this group.

Bruce's hand moved slightly, as if he was going to reach out to shake Fiona, but Diana stepped forward and patted the back of her hand reassuringly: "This document is not yet formed, honey, relax."

Fiona tilted her head in confusion: "Then what else do I need to do? This is the Achilles' heel, and having it is equivalent to having a plan to teach people how to break the Justice League."

After hesitating for a while, she finally settled on who she was talking to, and turned her head to Batman and asked:

"You actually chose to hand over the weaknesses of the heroes to me in the end... To be honest, I can't be overly flattered. So what about the filing against me? Has it been done? There must be something against me I took the initiative to betray the plan, right?"

Even Diana thought that Batman must have already done this. Fiona's question this time got at most a "no comment" answer. She never expected that Batman would give an ear that made them wonder if it was her ear. The answer to the question:

"have not do yet."

"B?!" If she didn't feel any magical breath, Wonder Woman would have suspected that Batman was being manipulated: "Very well, please keep it up, the plan against Fioska is really unnecessary—"

The protection of white witchcraft is protection and curse.As long as there is any bad sign in the behavior of the protected person, this extremely powerful and watertight protection will immediately fail, and the malice from the outside world that has been isolated before will pour into her in an instant. body.And the scope of this "bad sign" is too wide, and the things involved are too complicated, making it difficult for people to make it clear in a short while, and even the protected person does not have a clear boundary.

This is also why Wonder Woman just euphemistically reminded Batman that there is really no need to make this plan:

Fiona is usually careful enough to be careful and meticulous, plus a document that shows her presence all the time and puts pressure on "I'm important and you have to protect me", I'm afraid she won't be able to wait for the League of Assassins to come to her door , she will have a nervous breakdown first.Taking another [-] steps back, even if Fiona is very strong and able to withstand such a great pressure, under the protection and restrictions of white witchcraft, she absolutely cannot do things that are obviously tantamount to betrayal.If she did it first, such as changing hands and dumping the documents, the person who had problems in the next second would definitely not be the person she betrayed.

That being the case, what is the need for an emergency plan against her?It's just pressure in vain.

But Batman always prepares for the worst, and he asked Fiona abruptly, "What are you afraid of?"

The reason why emergency plans are called emergency plans is because they directly attack the most vulnerable places of people's hearts with the weaknesses or heart diseases targeted, and achieve the greatest possible effect in the shortest time with the least amount of effort, thereby controlling the situation.Like Superman and Kryptonite, Batman and his parents, Wonder Woman and her pilot Steve.

So when this question is asked, Batman has magnified his ability to observe and interpret microexpressions in his entire life to the extreme.No one would be willing to tell others about their weaknesses, but even if Fiona was unwilling to speak and just shook her head, he could still interpret Fiona's weaknesses from it.

However, his interpretation and recording were completely ineffective.This simplest question completely stumped Fiona:

"I don't seem to... really have anything to be afraid of."

"What about the weakness?" He continued to ask, "You always have to tell me one."

Fiona continued to shake her head in embarrassment: "...No."

Batman had been watching Fiona's expression, and after a while he had to admit that what Fiona said was completely true, half of it was true.This made it feel more tricky.A person who keeps all their secrets, if there is no weakness that can hold her back, it is a hidden danger in another sense.

At this time, Fiona suddenly seemed to remember something, and added: "If there is one thing I am most afraid of, there is one right now. I am afraid of death."

Batman: "...this weakness can't be used to contain you at all. It's something that a person would be afraid of."

"Then if that's the case, I don't have anything to fear when I'm alive." Fiona shrugged:

"I'm afraid that the people around me will be hurt, but since this plan will be handed over to me, then I can rest assured."

Bruce eventually finds the best reason for her to be the custodian of the emergency plan, and although this reason is just discovered by him, it is almost as subtle and fitting as fate:

Due to the particularity of psychics, they are not afraid of death, they are not greedy for money, plus Fiona is alone, nothing can restrain her, and all those who can become important people in her heart have the ability to protect themselves, and He is stronger than her, and can even hold back their plans, but in the end it will be in Fiona's hands. This forms a very delicate chain of checks and balances. The strong protect the weak, but at the critical moment when the strong lose their minds, It is up to the weak to check and balance them in turn.

When sending these two uninvited guests away from the sonic boom tunnel, Fiona was a little bit sorry:

"When I think of something I'm afraid of, I'll tell you right away."

Her slightly curly brown hair is quite soft and fluffy, and her wet gray eyes, when she looks at people so sincerely and promises so much, it is easy to think that everything looks very harmless. But very ferocious creatures, such as great tits and small sea otters.

So Diana immediately put herself in the position of a sea otter breeder with peace of mind, and stretched out her hand to rub her hair without saying a word, and found that the fluffy and soft texture was as good as ever:

"You've done a good job, my dear. And there's no rush for the weakness, you just think about it slowly, and it doesn't matter if you can't think of it."

As a result, Batman, who had been silent before, suddenly spoke:

"I will be able to come up with a complete plan soon, and I will come over again and hand it to you, or Diana will send it directly."

Diana:? ? ?I'm afraid my teammate isn't a professional demolitionist? ? ?

——Batman always does what he says, and there is no rush to file for a while. Only after he really understands the other party can he make effective countermeasures according to the other party's likes and dislikes. Therefore, in his own Batcave, he will formulate a completed emergency plan Before working overtime and rushing out, I wrote a blank emergency record for Fiona:

Codename, Lettuce.

Weaknesses and Countermeasures: To be completed.

As a result, as soon as he typed this line here, the communication from Fiona came over. It was such a coincidence that Batman felt a little guilty:

He was still thinking about how to make an emergency plan for Fiona, how could her call come by such a coincidence?This makes him continue to write, or should he suspend making this plan and finish the phone call first?

He looked at the name displayed on the communicator, and after a long battle between heaven and man, he finally chose to connect the call, and the moment he connected the call, Fiona directly said to herself After thinking about my weaknesses for a day, I can tell you everything:

"I've thought about it for a long time, and I think this should be considered a weakness, sir, so I'll tell you right away."

Batman said in a deep voice: "You say."

"Although many people have enlightened me, and I myself have 'figured it out', in the final analysis, I am still not confident. This lack of confidence stems from my lack of confidence in my prophecy and psychic abilities."

"I have been wondering, has my ability in this area really helped anything? Is what I see must be true? When ordinary people make decisions, there are still people who can advise together, but we don't, even in Bantiwa, for the same thing, everyone sees different emphases, unable to help and remind each other, at most they can refer to each other, so this has always been my heart disease."

She was silent there for a while before finishing the rest of her words:

"If there is such a day... As long as I keep attacking this point, my spirit will break down first."

Bruce faintly sensed the root of the problem, but instead of calling names directly, he changed the way to attack in a roundabout way:

"Helpful."

Fiona was obviously a little unresponsive over there: "Huh?"

"I said." Batman explained patiently here: "Haven't you been wondering if you have helped anything? I said, yes."

This may be the most positive display of Batman's affection so far, and it may also be the most truth-telling one day, when facing a completely defenseless and harmless little girl like Fiona, Rao It is the consultant of the Justice League who has to talk too much unconsciously:

"Thank you for this reminder. By killing the dispute in its infancy, we can effectively prevent the scene in your dream from appearing."

Fiona suddenly fell silent over there. With Batman's keen hearing, he could even hear the unsteady, overly undulating breathing over there. The overly long silence finally allowed Batman to confirm one thing. thing:

In the final analysis, her lack of self-confidence is not because of her lack of ability, but because of two points: first, she lacks strong feedback to strengthen her confidence. Assured, if no one has been strengthening her confidence, then no matter how much inner self-confidence will be wiped out; second, she lacks recognition and love.

Even for her own son, Thalia did not give any qualified maternal love, and it was even more impossible for her to show great maternal love to Fiona, who was completely an outsider.Lack of love in childhood and adolescence is a very serious hidden problem. This kind of problem may not have any serious consequences for a while, but over time, the psychological problems accumulated over the years will be like a flood that has been unloaded. If you rush out, compared with depression, skin hunger, avoidant attachment personality, etc., lack of self-confidence is a good result.

This is no longer a weakness that can be exploited.

This problem must be effectively solved now, otherwise, letting this problem accumulate will only cause bigger and more difficult problems to solve!

However, if Batman is to comfort people, how difficult is the coefficient of difficulty? It is even higher than the difficulty coefficient of letting him show his positive emotions before.But making an exception for this kind of thing, once there is a first time, there will be a second time, and he unexpectedly became a life mentor tonight for the first time:

"You have to believe in yourself, you are capable, Fiona."

It was rare for him to call Fiona by her first name directly. He didn't use Themis's code name to refer to her, nor did she use her middle name to refer to her, but he didn't directly call her nickname, Fioska like Diana and the others did. , even when this person comforts and enlightens others, he is so serious that he can call a meeting of all members of the Justice League in the next second to calculate the battle damage:

"Don't let the momentary depression affect your judgment. This is not your weakness. In my opinion, your ability in this area is impeccable. Go back and think about it."

—Whether Fiona was comforted, Batman didn't know, because at the moment Fiona answered, there was a deafening sound of a glass bowl hitting the steps from the entrance of the Batcave, just right Covered up her answer.

After Batman hung up the communication in a hurry, he turned his head and saw that he was supposed to be holding a bowl full of oatmeal in his hand—now the bowl of oatmeal had been completely knocked over on the ground—he was standing dumbfounded at the door of the room talking to himself. Nightwing in Chinese:

"……Oh my God."

He immediately rushed to the console and grabbed Red Robin beside him:

"Tibao, hit me to wake me up. I must not have woken up, otherwise, how could I have heard B himself boasting?! The tone is still so gentle?!"

——In fact, Batman's tone is not at all gentle in the eyes of normal people.He was always like this when he spoke, cold, rigorous and controlled, as if adding a little more enthusiasm to his speech could kill him.

But in the eyes of Dick and Tim, who are familiar with his temperament, and even the entire Bat Family, this is already gentle beyond their imagination!

Tim, struggling to free himself from the pile of papers that were nearly as tall as he was sitting, muttered sleepily to Dick:

"...No, thank you, I don't think I woke up either."

Three seconds later, he finally woke up under Dick's silent, silent, and inexplicable condemnation eyes. His blue eyes were full of sleepiness and opened wide:

"Wait?! Did I hear you right?! Wasn't that just a dream?!"

Dick: "...You should continue to catch up on sleep, Tibao."

The two looked at each other, then let out a sigh of relief, and said in unison:

"Ah, it really is a dream! Then we can rest assured!"

Bruce: ...you two come here, let's talk.
