[Zhongyingmei] The number one black powder

Veronica sat on the edge of a Wayne Enterprises building, her feet dangling outside, sharing a box of chips with Jason beside her.

She came to Gotham today to go to school to go through the resignation procedures.In fact, she could leave without saying goodbye, but she didn't want to.The only good thing Hydra has taught her is to obey order-even though she and order have never been very compatible-but leaving without saying goodbye is definitely not what she wants to do.

So she went back to Gotham Middle School, and after going through all the resignation procedures in an honest and orderly manner, she talked to Jason about their territory by the way.

They have basically stopped intervening in the affairs of the site. Jason showed the quality of a manager that he should have as a child of the Wayne family, and managed the place in an orderly manner.So in fact, they all knew that Veronica just came to chat with Jason.

"You should buy this shop." Veronica turned the box upside down and poured out the last few French fries to share with the people next to her, suggesting.

"Why should I buy this restaurant? I don't plan to learn French fries." Jason rolled his eyes, his red hood was on the ground beside him, but he didn't put his legs as dangerously as Veronica. Dangling in the air, squatting there indecently, mercilessly snatched most of the French fries.

"Because the owner of this store wants to sell the store and take it home for the elderly, so that there may be no such delicious French fries in the future." Veronica said, "You can buy it and keep all the employees, and invest in some more. Advertise it, and you can definitely make a small profit. You must have some clean business in your hands to protect your capital."

"...You're right... You can even consider opening a chain store. You can also launder the money." Jason thought about it seriously, and had to admit that this idea was correct, and he already had it in his mind. Three or four operational plans.

Unexpectedly, the other party's thoughts had already rushed to the distance at a speed of [-] buries. Veronica shook her hand, and the paper box that was originally being dismantled flew out of her hand and fell wobbly.

"Falling at this height will hurt people." Jason glanced down, and the words he said were not salty or bland.

"No. You didn't consider air resistance." Veronica also glanced at it and shrugged. "But do you think I care about this?"

So the two of them silently watched the cardboard piece slipping down at a slow pace.

After a while, the thing lost its appeal to Veronica, she looked up and found another topic "So how are you getting along with your dad recently?"

"Bo... Batman is not my father." Jason retorted almost subconsciously.When Bruce is mentioned, he gets angry.But now that gas is no longer as violent as it was at the beginning, it is more like the smoldering sparks of charcoal that is about to burn out in the stove, scratching the itch in his heart but it doesn't hurt, it's just a constant reminder of what happened to him.

"Okay." Veronica glanced at him, but her expression was completely different. "Have you talked recently?"

"I'm not on the same side as him, and I'm not interested in talking." Jason said angrily. He stood up, maintaining a dangerous balance on the edge of the stone fence, and stamped his numb feet.Veronica looked at him the whole time with a 'you're kidding me' look, and finally got bored of him before saying, "Most of the time he's talking, I ignore him."

"Why?" Veronica asked, spreading her hands when Jason looked at her angrily, "What's the matter, I think you stepped on his bottom line under his nose just to protest, you don't say it The content of the protest, so what is the significance of this protest?"

Jason squatted down again and shook his head, "The problem here is not whether I am protesting, but his attitude."

"What's the matter with his attitude? I just heard he wanted to talk to you."

Jason watched Veronica's blue eyes wide open in doubt, and was silent, "You don't understand."

In fact, he didn't understand himself. He felt that what made him angry was that the clown killed him, but Bruce failed to avenge him. He was angry that his value in Batman's heart was not enough to break the bottom line.But if you think about it carefully, is the Batman who breaks the bottom line still Batman?

Or maybe he was angry that Bruce had found his replacement while he was still alive, and that made him feel so cheap and easy to replace.And Tim Drake is even better than he looks.But then again, he's also Dick's replacement, though Bruce never calls him and Dick a miss.

"I don't understand, I just guessed casually." Veronica looked up at him with one hand on her chin and said, "You are only so angry because you are jealous. You are jealous that someone has taken your place."

"No!" Jason denied without thinking. He was so angry that he even stood up again. On this narrow fence, he did this movement with a strange grace. "You are so fucking ridiculous." He He'd never swear at Veronica before, but this time he blurted it out.

"I just guessed that." Veronica was not angry at Jason's accusation, she remained calm, "Otherwise, tell me why?"

"..." Jason was speechless again, he suddenly decided to avoid Veronica's eyes, his shadow reflected in those big eyes made him feel that he was seen through, he turned his head and looked at the busy traffic downstairs , said stiffly, "This has nothing to do with you."

"Can you sit down, if someone looks up they will see you," Veronica said.

So Jason sat down awkwardly, but still didn't look at her.

"I really like watching this." Veronica also looked down at the busy traffic below, "It looks so orderly."

"Order." Jason snorted coldly, and finally he asked the question he had been wanting to ask since they met, "So what's going on with you and Stark? Did he treat you badly?" Jason had for a while I haven't contacted Veronica, but it doesn't mean he doesn't pay attention to the news at all. There hasn't been any news about Stark's girlfriend in a while, and Veronica came here alone and didn't talk about it. his dialogue.Jason wasn't stupid, he knew what was going on.

He asked nervously, "Did he dump you?" This is a very reliable guess, he may not know Stark very well, but he knows Bruce.Bruce is always very friendly to his girlfriends and tries his best to meet their needs, but if he is really not interested in this girl, he will never contact her again.

So he said angrily, "Do you need me to beat him up for you?"

"What?" Veronica was shocked, she really couldn't figure out how Jason jumped to this conclusion, "Can you calm down."

"If he treats you badly, then I will..." Jason said, not hearing Veronica's words at all, so that she could only reach out and grab Jason who stood up, almost losing him Balance down.

"Technically, we haven't broken up yet... I asked to calm down for a while, so I brought it up." Veronica had to skip a series of explanations and get straight to the point.

"What?" Jason stopped. He looked at Veronica and held back for a while, then skipped the previous sentence and directly focused on "Well done."

Veronica: ? ? ?

"Stark doesn't seem to be a serious person." Jason said angrily, "Exaggerated and playful, he seems unreliable."

Veronica blinked: "Huh??? You realize that what you said can also describe your father?"

"He's not my father!" Jason retorted, thinking for a while and then said, "They're different."

"Why is it different?"

"Look at the color, it's red, red, yellow, and yellow. He also knows everyone who has exposed his identity, and the friends he makes are unreliable." Jason is very satisfied with what he said, and it is irrefutable to see this ironclad evidence "I heard that he had a relationship with Mrs. Jinmian."

"As far as I know he is friends with Captain America..." Veronica said, she thought for a while and then said "I heard that Batman is not only with Thalia but also with Catwoman, 1:2 ah."

"Isn't Stark still unclear with you?" Jason replied dissatisfiedly, "2:2."

"Batman and you are an unfilial son, so it counts as 2:2.5 no matter what." Veronica said.

Then they realized that the trend of this topic was very embarrassing.

"So I'm on Stark's list now, which is great." Veronica looked really happy when she said this.

"And I'm Batman's unfilial son." Jason sat down next to Veronica, and imitated her posture and swayed his legs in the air, "Why do you insist on being Stark's deadly enemy?"

"It's because of the deadly enemy that people can remember it. It can't be the second or third, it can only be the number one enemy, the number one villain of a first-class hero like Iron Man, when people mention him, they will mention me. What else can be compared? A closer connection like this?" Veronica replied.

It's sad to get up.

Jason thought.

If you can be a villain just to be remembered, then you can be remembered for anything.And Veronica never realized the problem.

"Why are you trying to be a hero or something? You can make a name for yourself, and then you can marry Stark and be a... what superhero couple, like Green Arrow and Black Canary." Jason asked.

"..." Veronica thought for a while, and then replied, "I don't know how to be a hero, no one taught me, but I know how to be a villain."

Meanwhile, John is sitting at a chess table in a New York park playing chess with Harold.

A military dog ​​happily ran over from a distance, stopped precisely at their table, then sat down obediently, and looked up at them with its mouth open.

John patted the head of this fierce dog named Little Bear, looked up, and saw another person walking slowly, "Xiao, shouldn't you be busy?"

"And you are leisurely, how did this world become like this." Xiao rolled his eyes.

"We're retiring." John's slow voice sometimes sounded very slurred.

"Retirement still doesn't forget the naughty boys who caused trouble." Xiao rolled his eyes and slapped a note in front of him, "This is your debt, and I won't pay it for you."

"What?" John glanced at her suspiciously, and at the same time picked up the note and unfolded it. There was only one name inside, a name that was enough to make him change his face.

"John?" Harold pulled the note out of his hand and glanced at it, his eyes widened in shock.

"So, what do you want to eat? I recently ate beef noodles from a Chinese restaurant, but it's a bit far away, not in this city." Jason and Veronica went straight to his locomotive from the top of the building to the underground parking garage. , conveniently put the hood on his head.

But no one responded to him.

He turned his head, and the entire parking lot was empty except for him, and there was no ghost, and Veronica, who was supposed to be following him, was gone.

When Veronica was turning the stairs, a figure jumped behind her in the blink of an eye from an unnoticed corner.Veronica felt a sharp point on the back of his neck, so before the other party said the classic lines of the kidnapper, she said first, "I won't move, please don't miss it."

"The little girl is quite calm." From the voice, it can be judged that the person behind her is a woman, who should be taller than her.

"Mrs. Hydra." Veronica recognized the voice. "Did the Red Skull send you?"

"Yes." Madam Hydra's voice is enchanting and vicious, as slippery as a snake, as her name suggests, "I've heard about your situation, but I didn't expect it to be so reasonable. Then I guess politely, please come with me A trip is also possible?" Veronica felt that she had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"You guys came a little later than I expected." Veronica said honestly, she had been waiting for this moment since the day she left the Avengers Mansion.She believed that the Red Skull must have discovered the chip in her brain as soon as it was removed, and it wouldn't take long to figure out that she was still alive and well after the chip was removed, and he would definitely not let her go casually.

"It took a while to go through the procedure." Madam Hydra told her, sounding rather dissatisfied with this. "You know, the approval procedures for the above actions are a bit troublesome."

- Bureaucracy kills people.

"Besides, do you know how many guards Barnes has secretly sent to guard against you?" Mrs. Hydra's words now sounded like she was complaining, but this was the last sentence Veronica heard.

Before she could say no to the head, a blow to the back of the head made her eyes go black and she lost consciousness.

"Look, my baby girl is finally back." Veronica heard these words before opening her eyes.At a very close distance from her ear, a pair of cold hands pinched her chin, forcing her to look up.

The strong light from the top of the head fell on the eyeballs through the slits of the slightly opened eyes, illuminating a piece of whiteness.So she had to move her eyes.

Red Skull realized she was awake and let go of her chin.Veronica can finally lower her head so that the light does not shine directly on her eyes.She subconsciously wanted to reach out and rub her eyes, which were uncomfortable due to the irradiation, but failed.

Of course, her hands are limited.Her whole body was confined to this chair, and she could only lower her head and the exposure blindness of her eyes slowly faded away.

"Are you okay? Dear child?" Red Skull didn't leave, he was still lingering beside Veronica, behind her, whispering in her ear, pretending to care.

"It's not very good, but it will be fine." Veronica said honestly. Years of dealing with Red Skull made her understand that it is best not to disobey the other party, and there is no benefit.

"Very well, or I will be heartbroken."

Veronica wanted to laugh.She wants to say that she has neither the genetics nor the upbringing of the Red Skull, and she is not the daughter of the Red Skull from any point of view.

"You look happy." Her expression must have revealed something, Red Skull judged. "Tell me, what makes you feel happy?"

"I just thought, this sounds really interesting, the number of times you've called me 'your good girl' in just a few minutes, I'm curious if you ever called original sin that? You genetics His own daughter?"

"Of course, why do you think I'm stingy with rewarding children?" Red Skull replied sitting on the chair next to him, staring closely at Veronica and paying attention to any micro-expressions of hers.

"Because I'm not your daughter." Veronica couldn't help but say it, and at the moment of blurting, half of her thought it was over, and the other half was surprised that she had such courage.It's amazing how quickly she picks up bad habits.

"Poor girl, what did those sanctimonious superheroes do to you?" Red Skull showed a regretful expression, "Tell me, did Captain America instill something deviant in your little head with his sanctimonious face?" concept?"

The accusation is hilarious and ironic, considering Hydra has been the one doing these things for a long time.

"They made me clearer," Veronica said.

A mixture of mockery and pity appeared on Red Skull's face.He nodded sideways.The scientific research personnel who had been standing silently around him before came up, turned the chair she was sitting on to a flat surface, strengthened the restraints, and stuffed her mouth when the electrodes were attached to her head. An iron rod to prevent biting off the tongue.

But Veronica was telling the truth.She didn't tell Reed, she didn't tell Tony, she didn't even mention it to John.But after waking up from the accident that nearly left her brain dead, she felt calmer than ever.Before that, she gave people a feeling of madness because she did have some problems that made her always hyperactive. Hydra has studied countless failed individuals for decades because of this chemical imbalance in the brain. Loss of control brought on by madness.

But the accident fixed the chemical balance in her brain and made her more rational, a person with normal and manageable emotions.

So many things that she couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.

She knew that as long as she was alive she couldn't get rid of Hydra, and that one day, forced or voluntary, she would come back here.

She heard Red Skull giving orders to the others: "Increase the scope of the amnestics, starting this year before she went to Baxter House."

"However, sir, large-scale amnestic eradication may affect the chain reaction of long-term memory, as well as cognitive effects..." someone questioned.

"It doesn't matter, we will keep her anyway, as long as we can let her complete the insight plan."

"Warning memory on a large scale may wipe out her previous job content and mission objectives."

"No, the mission goal of the insight plan has been deeply rooted since she was born, and it doesn't matter if you forget the content of the work. Since she can complete it once, she can complete it again."

She opened her eyes, staring closely at the blurred shadow of the Red Skull, but her heart was calm, which was within her expectation.Red Skull is right, she will forget many things, but there are some things that are deeply rooted in her mind that will not be shaken.

A miraculous thing happened. Although she accepted the brainwashing, she still couldn't help thinking about the things that would be lost——

She remembered a similar situation with John, when she asked his name and decided to save the last poor thing for the man.

She remembered Thalia entrusting Jason to her to take him to Gotham.They shared a highway side sandwich in the back of John's car and got to know each other.

She remembered Bucky's Grumpy Cat face when he stepped down to clean the entire library.

She thought of Reed's initially troubled face and body movements of obvious resistance, and remembered that he finally invited her to live in his home.

She remembered that the Avengers had warmly invited her to have breakfast together, and those heroes wore all kinds of pajamas and ordinary clothes, laughing without image but approachable.

She thought of Stark, Tony.Thinking of his laboratory table, his room, and the badly worn commemorative coin he found in his drawer.Think of Disney's fireworks, the beaches of Magipur and that unrecognizable pineapple that was cut.Thinking of Tony saying 'I love you' to her, of looking at Veronica sometimes when he thought she wasn't paying attention, like looking at a bottle of wine, wanting but not wanting. Dare to get.

Then it all shattered.These memories were first smashed into pieces, and then completely crushed and could no longer be seen as they were originally.Like those things she forgot again and again.

On this day, Veronica was taken to a computer room, which had a whole wall of display screens, and rows and rows of mainframe chassis fans rumbling.

The Red Skull said to her, "Your task is to complete the insight plan. Our weapons and equipment are all on standby. You need to complete the software programming to distinguish the dangerous elements in those crowds."

"We need an AI that can screen and identify dangerous information from information." Veronica replied.

Red Skull nodded, which meant she was right.

[I'm pretty sure this thing will violate human rights. 】A light and fluffy male voice appeared behind her ears, that brisk and slightly oily voice struck a certain string in her mind, so that she quickly turned back to see the speaker without thinking.

But there was nothing behind him.

"What's the matter?" The Red Skull couldn't have missed her move, he looked at her and evaluated cautiously.

"It's nothing." Veronica replied quickly, because hesitation would cause the chief's displeasure.But she kept thinking in her mind, who is that voice?

Red Skull looked at her for a while, and didn't seem to quite believe her words.Veronica could only meet his gaze without blinking.In order to keep calm, she began to write something in her mind.

——She called the chief in her mind the Red Skull. No Hydra would dare to call the chief that.

Eventually she passed the test.Red Skull withdrew his gaze and ordered her to "complete the insight plan."

And she replied: Long live Hydra.
