Birth of a Goddess [Comprehensive English and American]

The room was dark, the flannel curtains were tightly covered, airtight, and in the dark corner, loneliness was slowly growing.

Bruce opened his eyes from the bed, he just supported his arms, and just lifted his back from the bed, he couldn't help but groan. "Hiss—" He took a breath silently, only when he was alone, he would show such a slightly vulnerable look.He got out of bed a little slower than normal.

While brushing his teeth, with a mouth full of white foam, Bruce caught a glimpse in the mirror of red spots oozing from the white bandage wrapped tightly around his waist.He poured water into his mouth twice, rinsed out the foam in his mouth, pressed his finger lightly on the red spot on the bandage, and put his finger in front of his eyes.

Not stained.

Bruce put on his suit jacket directly and rushed to the Batcave.

The housekeeper Alfred has prepared black coffee without any sugar or milk for him as usual, and a sandwich. Bruce sat down at the dining table, but he saw Alfred's expression that hesitated to speak.

what happened?

He signaled Ah Fu with his eyes.

The old housekeeper who watched him grow up seemed to sigh, put the pure white envelope on the table, put his index and middle fingers together and pressed the envelope, and gently pushed the envelope in front of Bruce, "It was delivered this morning, Lin Miss and Mr Stark's wedding invitation."

Bruce's hand holding the coffee cup froze slightly in the air for a moment, and the memories that had been suppressed by him unexpectedly resurfaced in front of his eyes.

During their dating time, Ah Fu always referred to her as "Cookie Girl", because Ah Fu said that when he was with this girl, even if he returned to the Batcave, he would still feel much better.

How did he answer back then?

Can't seem to remember.

"Do you need to decline the invitation?"

"No, answer them and I will attend." Bruce took a sip of coffee, his eyes fell on the coffee cup, his expression didn't change a bit, until Ah Fu left the room, he put the coffee cup back on the saucer and closed his eyes exhale.

The bitter taste of black coffee spread in his mouth, making Bruce's brain extremely clear.

nothing.

Bruce thought, it's just going to the wedding of an ex-girlfriend, just prepare the formal clothes and gifts, and just attend decently.

nothing.

Bruce repeated it in his heart, not knowing if he wanted to tell Ah Fu, or he was warning himself.

After Ah Fu came back after replying to the letter, Bruce was no longer in the room.

……

The blue sky is connected with the ocean in the distance, rendering layers of blue, and the seagulls hovering in the sky embellish this blue.The sea water washes the soft sand, and when it recedes, small shells are left on the beach, which fall on the beach dotted with stars.

There are simple white arches on the beach, covered with white flowers, white rose petals spread on the ground, like a long white blanket extending under the arches, and a dozen white wooden benches are neatly placed on both sides on the beach.

Bruce was wearing a pure black high-end suit and sat in the crowd. When the piano song "Dream Wedding" sounded, he turned his head like everyone else, but he was a little dazed when the woman appeared.

The long golden hair is draped softly on the shoulders, and the broken hair on the forehead is braided into delicate thin braids, hidden in the hair with white lace threads, dotted with white flowers in the hair, covered by the white gauze , looming; the complicated white lace outlines the butterfly wings on the back, and the simple white tube top design on the front outlines the graceful figure. In the clouds, hazy, ethereal.

The blond woman was holding her mother's hand, holding a bouquet of flowers. The sea breeze gently blew the veil on her head, and the white flowers on the blond hair trembled slightly, as if they were about to turn into butterflies and fly away in the next moment. Those azure pupils were full of smiles, as if one could see the boundless sea from inside, and the corners of the mouth were curved with happiness that couldn't be hidden.

Bruce watched her wearing a wedding dress, walking step by step towards the smiling brown-haired man at the end of the road. When her mother handed her hand to the brown-haired man's hand, Bruce quickly lowered his eyes.He lowered his head and heard the "I am willing", but he couldn't help showing a somewhat dazed look in his eyes.

At the moment the applause sounded, he also raised his hand, but the pain in his heart spread unconsciously.

……

Coming back from Eliza's wedding doesn't seem like much has changed in Bruce's life since they've been separated for so long.

It has been seven years, eleven months and seven days.

He can't remember the past.

Bruce jumped into the room through the window, changed his uniform, and his arm was in severe pain like a fire. This was the injury he left when he captured a prisoner who escaped from Arkham Asylum tonight, but Bruce didn't even raise his eyebrows. one time.He changed into his nightgown, sat down by the bed, and turned on the mini speaker next to the bed.

In the dark night, in the empty room, music flows out slowly, gently stroking the scar on my heart.

When he and Elisa were in love, their dates were always accompanied by music. After the two broke up, Bruce was used to listening to music to relax.

Habits are really a terrible thing.

Even if he occasionally sees Elisa on TV or on the news now, he can still keep his face unchanged; many things about the relationship between the two have slowly begun to blur in his memory.Occasionally when he raised his hand but it was empty, the air passing through his hand at that moment made him unable to help being slightly stunned.

The sound of the harp floated lightly in the air, and the familiar female voice entwined with the music quietly spread in the air. Bruce raised his hand to cut the song, but suddenly stiffened for a moment because of the sudden pain in his arm.

The singing voice floated out in the gap of this moment, "I never thought that I would meet you at that time, the dark alley, the cold atmosphere, everything is not so beautiful..."

Bruce's outstretched hand trembled unconsciously when he heard the lyrics, his fingers slightly bent inward, and brushed against the cold keys.

For some reason, he remembered that many years ago, the blond woman smiled brightly and invited him to a live performance.

She also said that she wrote a new song...

"Under the cloak of darkness".

"Under the Cloak of Darkness".

"The beginning of a fairy tale is always beautiful, and the story of a hero saving the beauty is always a cliché..."

"Under the cloak of darkness..."

"I saw the brightest light (I saw the brightest light)..."

Bruce dropped his arms and looked up at the ceiling.

At that time, he received the news that the prisoners from the Arkham Asylum had escaped, so he temporarily canceled his trip to New York, and he didn't remember to reply to Elisa until he returned to the Batcave in the middle of the night.

What did she say at that time?

She seems to say...

It's okay, Ah Fu has already told me.You should rest well.

It has been so many years, but Bruce can still remember the content of that text message.

Now that I think about it, that was probably the first and only time during the relationship that Eliza didn't say goodnight to him.

The details that he had let go of in the past silently invaded his dreams in the countless long nights after the breakup.Obviously after the separation, he also tried to date other people, but he seemed to have returned to the state before he met Elisa, and he also returned to the image of the flirtatious Master Wayne in the eyes of outsiders.

He tried to start over, but there was always a gap in his heart, which he couldn't fill no matter what.

It wasn't until this moment that Bruce had to admit it.

Between him and Elisa, if you miss it, you just miss it.

They didn't start at the right moment, and he left out all the important details.Time has changed, and their story can only stay at that night, without the possibility of continuing.

They have all started their new lives, but the memories of the past will never be replaced in their hearts.

Perhaps, this is enough.

……

Years later.

"The Biography of Elisa Lin": Eliza Lin has never released the cover authorization of "Under the cloak of darkness" in her life.And only performed live once in his life.
