The top of fame and fortune [Comprehensive British and American]

Under the night of Gotham, the doors of the theater roof are locked tightly, and no one disturbs them.

Erica was looking at the dark armor of the Gotham Dark Knight and the two pointed protrusions on his bat helmet.

She cleared her throat and asked tentatively, "Did anyone recognize your 'flower name'?"

The 'flower name' of every superhero seems to be famous, especially the Batman standing in front of her at the moment.

However, judging by his helmet, it looks more like another creature than a bat, Erica said frankly, "Like Black Cat Man? Cat Ear Man? Black Cat Ear Man?"

The upper half of Bruce Wayne's face was covered by a mask, but judging from his exposed lips and heroic wide chin, he might not be in a good mood right now.

Before he could speak, Erika uttered again, and she seemed to have a lot of questions, "And your mask, why does it only cover half of your face? Because your chin and lips are sexy and perfect?"

"You seem to be more interested in Batman than Bruce Wayne." His voice seemed to grow deeper as he became the Dark Knight.

Erica did not respond to his words, but turned around and leaned against the edge of the roof, and continued to look at the night scene. In the distance was the bat light of the Gotham Police Department. Two hours ago, this help signal had been on, "I miss you today." Night once again rooted out a criminal incident."

Bruce approached her, stood beside Erica, and said, "But in this city, things always get worse before they get better."

"Why did you become Batman?" Erica looked at the patron saint of the city with a rare serious expression.

Bruce Wayne has almost everything, but he was injured time and time again in order to fight criminals.

After hearing Erica's voice, Wayne didn't answer her quickly, but paused for a few seconds before saying, "When I was young, I accidentally fell into a cave and saw a group of bats in it, so I was very afraid of bats. .And when I was eight years old, I went out to see a movie with my parents, because we were afraid of the bats in the movie, we left the theater first, and my parents were shot dead in the back alley of the theater."

"It was the criminals and crimes in this city that caused them to die, not the eight-year-old Bruce Wayne, nor his fear of bats." Erika looked at him, and met him with straight eyes , expression and voice are firm.

Wayne approved her first half of the sentence, "You're right, my parents died because of the crimes in this city, so I should fight the crimes—until I die, I should fight on."

"You're really stubborn." Erica said helplessly, but she could understand his choice. After all, her younger brother Peter Parker was also a superhero.

Erica put her arm on the roof railing, turned her face to look at Wayne, the night wind blew her long hair, and a gentle smile appeared on her face, "Uncle Ben once said to Peter, 'With great power comes great responsibility. Big', you must agree with this sentence."

This may be the reason why heroes are heroes. Their strong sense of responsibility has become the power to support everything.

"I just don't want to see the children in this city and experience the helpless pain I once felt." Bruce said to Erica, his masked face looked resolute and deep.

"But this is destined to be a heavy and lonely journey, but—" Erica raised the wine glass in her hand, looked into Bruce Wayne's blue eyes, "to the great Batman."

Erika drank the liqueur in the glass and put the empty glass on the square guardrail of the roof. Then, she approached the tall man, only one step away from him.

She raised her face, her lips were close to the face that Batman's mask could not cover, almost touching his lips, but she kept away, "I think I know the reason why your mask only covers half of your face, for convenience kiss."

But she didn't actually kiss him, she just said to him, "You really are the sexiest superhero in the world."

Afterwards, Erica backed away, turned and left gracefully, walked to the half-old wooden door on the innermost side of the roof, unscrewed the door locked by him, and left straight away, her back was uneven, swaying and sexy.

And Bruce Wayne was left alone on the roof of the theater by her.

He seemed to understand Lex Luthor's mood at this moment, and this lady was so fickle that it was difficult to control.

Especially on the second day, when Master Wayne received a call from Erica, he felt deeply about her hot and cold, "I plan to announce my breakup this weekend, because I am busy with my career, get together less and leave more. So the agreement broke up."

Bruce couldn't help but suspect that what happened on the roof of the Lighthouse Theater last night was just his inexplicable hallucination, "Are you eager to get back single?"

"The Truman Show will be released at the end of the year, and my role in the film is conservative and reserved. Therefore, half a year before the film's release, I plan to keep a clean period to avoid my personal life being repeatedly featured in the entertainment tabloids." Erika replied.

Although doing so is probably better than nothing, after all Erica's usual star image has never been anything to do with conservative and reserved.

But compared to frequently appearing on the entertainment page due to emotional events; if she becomes single and stops dating half a year before the film is released, it will obviously be more conducive to the public relations battle in Hollywood awards season, at least, it can reduce many boring sex scandals.

And Bruce Wayne has another suggestion, "I think a stable relationship that lasts for a year is more conducive to your image than a hasty breakup."

"Stable relationship?" Erica didn't seem to have a good attitude when facing 'Gotham heartthrob Bruce Wayne', "During the year, on average, every two weeks, you will have a new scandal. "

"It's a false report." Over the years, in order to separate 'Bruce Wayne' from 'Batman', he has indeed created some romantic incidents.But in the past year, after Mr. Wayne had a public 'real girlfriend', his private life has really stabilized a lot. It's a pity that the tabloids still repeatedly write him as the protagonist of the scandal.

So Erica said to him, "At least from the perspective of the outside world, this 'emotional relationship' between you and me has not been considered stable."

And the responsibility is on Bruce Wayne, and Erica, who has been busy with her studies and acting career in the past year, seems very innocent.That's why she thought it was a good time for her to announce her breakup.

"I thought that according to last night, the relationship between you and me is close to 'fake show is real'." Bruce's voice was low and sexy.

Erica was noncommittal about this, and Bruce Wayne continued to say to her, "There will be a banquet at Wayne Manor tonight, maybe you would like to be my female companion?"

In the end, when the phone call ended, Erica's request for an 'agreement to break up' was ignored, and instead she accepted Wayne's dinner invitation.

As much as she didn't want to admit it, Bruce Wayne's appeal to women, and that heroic appeal, was irresistible.

At Parker's house, Erica threw the mobile phone back on the bed and opened the script of "Four Weddings and a Funeral". Just when she was halfway marking the lines, there was a knocking sound outside the bedroom door. It was Peter Parker.

Peter seemed a little hesitant, "Li Ka, has Harry met or contacted you recently?"

"No," Erica frowned imperceptibly, "We haven't continued to date in the past year. I think he may be very busy after taking over the Osborne family business."

Erica hadn't planned on continuing her 'multiple dates', and Harry Osborn was uncharacteristically cooperative, and the two were estranged over the course of the year.

After hearing Erica's words, Peter Parker looked a little strange, and it took a few seconds to agree with her, "You're right, Harry's company affairs are very busy, so I couldn't meet with you."

Erica frowned and was about to say something to Peter, but was interrupted by the ringing of the phone, it was Bruce Wayne.

"Go to the window, miss." At the same time she answered the call, Wayne's deep magnetic voice came.

Erica looked at the handsome man standing under the window through the oriel window, she was unavoidably surprised, "It's not evening yet."

"So hopefully I'll be lucky enough to have dinner with you," Bruce replied cynically.

"You really are the number one heartthrob in Gotham," Erica said, leaning on the window, watching him, "wait for me for 10 minutes."

Erica changed into a decent long dress and waved goodbye to Peter, as if forgetting that she was about to ask him about the incident.

And when she arrived at Wayne Manor, she discovered that Bruce Wayne did not plan to hold a banquet tonight, and in the magnificent banquet hall, there were only her and the sexiest gentleman in Gotham.

"When you were filming "Scent of a Woman", I wanted to dance with you." Master Wayne put the vinyl record into the classical record player, which is the famous Spanish song "One Step Away" in 1935.

Bruce looked at Erica, "But I don't really want to be seen by other people about your perfect dance."

"You seem to have said that you are not a paranoid person?" Erica questioned, "But what you said just now, the desire for control contained in it, seems to be no better than Rex."

Master Wayne was noncommittal about this. Amid the melodious and gorgeous violin music, he touched Erica's waist with his palm and led her to dance to the tango.

Bruce whispered in her ear, "Robert Thompson, professor of art history at Yale, once said that tango is like emotion, it can be high or decadent, agitated or sad, elegant or debauched. There is no wrong step in tango, unlike life. .You don’t have to worry about making mistakes, even if you take a wrong step or trip, stop and keep jumping.”

In the candlelit banquet hall, Erika’s skirt fluttered and danced, intertwined and twirling. The beauty and excitement of this tango made the two look as close as lovers, “I never make mistakes in tango.” dance steps, but emotionally, I always seem to be wrong again and again."

Bruce Wayne looked at her, listening to the melodious and eager Spanish singing——

"One step away, one step away

That frivolous and cheerful woman is on my nerves

Her blunt and strong opinion destroys my temperament

And when she smiles and swears she loves me

In the end, it’s empty talk.”

When the song "One Step Away" was played, in the other direction of the city, on the top floor of the Osborne Medical Center, in front of Harry Osborn, all his diagnosed cases in the past year were displayed.

Without exception, the conclusions were all clear and unambiguous—reversal of cellular hyperplasia.

And in Wayne Manor, the famous Spanish song is gradually becoming turbulent——

"One step away, one step away

One kiss from her and all my sorrows are gone

The bitterness of the soul is also relieved

And if she forgets

How can I feel alive?

What does it matter if you die a thousand times

Why are you still nostalgic for meaningless life? "
