Chapter 20: Request for Help and Visit to Gotham
Thea looked at her calmly and signaled for her to continue.
It's normal for Batman to have an accident. It's normal for him to be okay. He's the American comic version of Monk Tang. He chose the path of death and is determined to go through nine or eighty-one difficulties.
As an ordinary person, with no enhancements, relying on his muscular body, he provokes almost every villain and villainess every day, except for some resident aliens who never come back.
So Thea wasn't surprised at all when she heard that something happened to him. Looking at Catwoman expressionlessly, that meant not to stop and keep talking.
"He was captured by a guy named Bane. Whether he's alive or dead, we don't know. Currently, Bane controls half of Gotham. He opened up Arkham Asylum and Blackgate Penitentiary. Now the city is full of criminals. We urgently need your help."
After Catwoman finished speaking, she looked at Thea sincerely.
Is this the plot of Batman III? I remember in the movie she annoyed Bruce, but here it's different from the movie. They've known each other since childhood and have gone through many difficulties. Although their relationship has had its ups and downs, such a deep relationship isn't something they can break in just a few seconds. You can't yield with just a few threats.
Realizing she wouldn't be able to completely copy the movie's plot, Thea asked carefully, "Who is this Bane?"
"I don't know either. I only know he's very powerful and seems to have strength far beyond ordinary people. I heard from one of his subordinates that he has two tons of strength. Or not, but he defeated Batman with his own hands. I saw with my own eyes. "Seeing Bane break the spine..." Catwoman said with a somewhat depressed expression.
Two tons? When she first heard about this unit of weight, Thea was really scared. When we discuss strength, shouldn't we use kilograms as a unit? Where did this ton come from? At the same time, she also realized that this definitely wasn't the Destroyer from the movie. This guy must have received strength-enhancing injections and biochemical drugs, otherwise humans wouldn't be so powerful.
Faced with Catwoman's serious gaze, she wanted to say no, but seeing Felicity's bright eyes looking at her through her glasses, with a touch of encouragement and excitement in her eyes, she could only smile stiffly. "Does he have a plan?"
"No, he's in special detention, but... except for him, basically everyone else escaped." She wanted to tell Catwoman, the people here are simple and honest, and the criminals are all waiting to be scared off, but she knows there's no way to get rid of them. If you trust people, you can only tell the truth.
Upon hearing that the clown hadn't escaped, Thea breathed a sigh of relief. There are three types of people in the DC world view, namely, heroes, villains, and clowns. This person's fighting ability is really average, but his brain doesn't know if it's due to excessive dopamine secretion, so he's not afraid at all. With that kind of emotion, even if the God of the DC world descended to earth, he would dare to stab him.
The thoughts of this man are wild, and no one knows what he's thinking. In parallel times and spaces, once he made Superman kill his girlfriend by mistake, turned Superman into a bad man, kidnapped Lex Luthor, a villain with a level 9 intelligence, and finally used a nuclear bomb. The destruction of Metropolis directly led to the division of the Justice League. His original purpose was to have nothing to do and play around.
Thea didn't dare to mess with such a dangerous person. If he found out her identity, her family would be in serious trouble. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she learned he was still locked up.
Silently pondering over Gotham's main villains, it seems that, except for Bane, a guy who can compete with others, the rest are ordinary people, or ordinary people with abnormal mental states. They cannot be crushed by their own equipment. But don't you think there's some danger?
"Okay, we'll go with you." Thea thought they probably wouldn't pay, but she couldn't go in vain. Shouldn't she find some rude people who got rich to vote for her?
"You two?" Catwoman looked at Felicity beside her, meaning this guy is also a hero?
Felicity's IQ instantly understood what she meant and angrily affirmed that her hacking skills were excellent and demonstrated some of the most advanced facial recognition and positioning technologies, which made it difficult for someone who had never been to school since childhood and only knew how to sneak and pick locks. Catwoman was impressed.
At the moment, she also expressed her approval to join. Since you're not afraid of death, let's go. We'll arrange for our friends to sing you a Gotham Welcome...
"Who are your teammates now? Did you invite anyone else?" Thea couldn't figure out what era it was now. How many members had the Bat Family developed? There's strength in numbers. If you summon a few more powerful generals from other places, you can enjoy success alone.
Not knowing what she was thinking, Catwoman answered honestly: "We're here with me, Batgirl, and Robin."
The three plus the two beside me, hey, that's exactly five people! Is this the rhythm of forming a team to fight? It's a pity that neither Catwoman, Batgirl, Robin, nor I can resist, they're all agile heroes! Felicity only knows how to take care of logistics, cheer everyone up, and be cute like a mascot or something. This trip is a pill copy.
Actually, it would be great if Lady Shiva were here. She could make a temporary appearance to absorb the damage. But it's a pity she was sent to find someone? You sent away the most capable person to find someone, and I really convinced you. I wanted to say I'll find someone and let the master deal with it, but that was a bit too much for the others to suppress their own prestige, so they suppressed it and didn't say it.
And I really don't know where Batman is locked up. In the movie, it was a deep hole, and Bruce even made a leap of faith. But in this real world, who knows where that place is, so we can only hope that Shiva quickly finds him and asks him to come back and clean up the mess.
I asked Catwoman how she got here, and the answer was that Bane discovered the weapons arsenal, so all kinds of high-tech equipment were taken from one pot. She didn't know what to do without Batman by her side to give her advice. She came by car, so the heroine shouldn't be too dependent and should be independent and self-sufficient.
Instructing the group to prepare a helicopter for herself, Thea sighed in relief knowing that Catwoman could pilot it. After all, Gotham wasn't a tourist city. After hearing Catwoman's description of the hail of bullets, she was still thinking about how to invent lies to deceive the pilot.
The two folded the skateboard a few times and put it in the backpack without telling Catwoman; it weighed less than twenty kilograms and was even a weapon to kill people and set fire to the trips home.
Superheroes are very good at this. They never ask about other people's skills and origins. If you want to say something, you can drop them if you don't. Catwoman naturally stayed away while watching the two pack their equipment.
Not knowing how far this battle would go, Thea brought all the arrows with her. Yes, she decided to be a long-range person. Although she was better at close combat, she still decided it was so important. It's safer to leave her position to others.
Felicity was still addicted to the fantasy of being a heroine, and Thea reminded her several times before realizing that she needed to prepare herself too.
After running for two busy periods, she found nothing else to bring except a tablet.
"Thea, should we bring some food?..."
"Thea, have you seen my charger?"
Catwoman beside her curled her lips upon hearing this: How can we, a city as big as Gotham, miss it?
Thea also feels a little embarrassed. This lowered the standards of our heroines from Star City too much. Haven't you seen that your colleagues in Gotham are laughing at you? Quickly pull her and let her change clothes. After all, the situation in Gotham is unclear. It's a bit impossible for you to want to sit in front of the monitor and watch the live broadcast with potato chips and cola like before.
Felicity conseguiu change into a short skirt and high heels, rummaged through the closets for sportswear, and put on a pair of hiking sneakers.
But no matter how Thea looks at this outfit, it's also full of time traces. This outfit is really tacky. It's definitely a style from ten years ago. I deliberately asked her to change into another one to give a bit to our Star City's face, but she kept looking at Catwoman. Looking at the time, I can only give up and hope that the people of Gotham are in trouble and not in the mood to pay attention to the fashion tastes of their sister cities.
The three rushed to Queen's private helipad with large and small suitcases. The equipment here is mainly Thea's. She brought hundreds of arrows, hundreds of assorted arrows, and many long knives, daggers, and throwing knives.
The two pistols were seized a few days ago, and Felicity took one each. Although Thea hadn't specifically practiced her aim, with the bonus of long-range weapons like bows and arrows, her aim wouldn't be weaker than that of ordinary policemen, and it might even be better.
As for Felicity's request, she just needs to protect herself and not hit her own people.
"Thea, what are you going to do?" Moira heard that she had quickly recruited a helicopter, and she didn't know what she was going to do. She really wasn't used to her daughter's lifestyle of just going out on time. She was in a hurry and came running from the office.
"Uh, we're going to Malibu beach..." Thea said and hugged Felicity and Catwoman around the waist, showing a bright smile.
Felicity and Thea hugged and hugged each other once or twice, but there was nothing unusual about it. It was the first time Catwoman had been hugged by someone of the same sex, and her waist was a little sensitive. She unconsciously shivered, but she was strong. After she managed to endure it, she pulled her facial nerve hard and smiled ugly.
Moira knew Felicity. Although she had never spoken to her, she knew she was a group employee and her daughter's friend. However, this was the first time she had met Felicity, who suddenly appeared. She just felt that, although this woman was very beautiful and had a good figure. Very good, but there was a touch of wildness in her eyes, and she felt it was dangerous for her daughter to be with her.
But when they saw the three of them together and friendly, they didn't say anything, just said they would call when they arrived to inform that they were okay.
Like someone who has never eaten pork but has also seen pigs running away, she had noticed her daughter's abnormality before, but there really was no way to stop her.
I contacted Malcolm and wanted to ask his opinion. At first, I was a little surprised by this guidance. After thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. Compared to having my daughter in the arms of a man, it was still acceptable to find a woman.
99% of parents in this world are dissatisfied with the fact that their daughters find boyfriends. They always feel that their daughters, who were raised by them, run into the arms of other men, and they all feel as sad as if their own cabbage had been taken by a pig. in the majority, some people strongly feel this dissatisfaction, some are weaker, but they are all unhappy!
Just like Joe West, Barry Allen's father-in-law in The Flash, he worries about the progress of the two every day and if there are such things. This is only because Barry was raised by him, which is a kind of mentality that prevents wealth from going to others; he is not really a good father-in-law for the people.
Malcolm's current intention is to let nature take its course. Forget the woman. If he finds out about any man, he'll be killed directly. Of course, his daughter won't be found by anyone. It would be better if she was always eighteen.
Thea didn't know that her parents were worried about her life happening and arranged for Catwoman to pilot the helicopter. Anyway, you'll lead the way. If I go the wrong way, I won't have to worry.
Sitting in the back seat attentively, she watched Felicity break through the Gotham Police Department's firewall. It was indeed a police station in a city with tens of millions of people. Felicity took ten whole minutes to mobilize the target of this mission.
Thea took a quick look and saw that she had many targets to face. Scarecrow, Riddler, and Penguin showed up.
She specifically checked and found no news about Poison Ivy. Had she not entered Gotham during this period? This is good news: as long as there are no superpowers involved, it's difficult to kill with one's own skills and equipment, but it can be done with the body intact.
"Get ready, we're almost there," Catwoman shouted at the driver's seat. Through the helicopter's window, Thea saw the distant view of Gotham. The whole city was dark, as if there was a dark cloud pressing down on it. Every now and then, flashes of fire were seen shining in the streets.
The original founder of this city didn't know how he picked the address. Thea felt the environment here was terrible. She used the natural perception method taught by Lady Shiva to explore it. The air was full of impetuous, old, and dilapidated energy...
Catwoman said that even without this incident, many people die in Gotham every day, but no one counts the specific number, and no one cares. Thea couldn't help but think wildly, what if this happened? The necromancer wouldn't need to prepare elaborate rituals. He could probably summon millions of skeleton soldiers with just a few gestures. Maybe there were also hundreds of death knights?
If Star City is like an old man suffering, then Gotham is a strong man on the brink of death. It's hard to say which of the two cities is worse.
As the helicopter approached, Thea could already see the chaos in the streets and buildings. Everywhere she looked, she could see people robbing and killing each other. The screams of women and cries of children were everywhere. It hovered over the city for a long time. Occasionally, an elderly person was thrown to the ground with staggering steps, just to take a few dollars from them. The city is slowly nearing the edge of collapse.
I'm sad because Batman's many years of hard work were wasted. Now that I have some abilities, why not help these poor people? She didn't know if this was the conscience of a hero. She just knew she had to do something. If she had the intention of having some fun at first, but now she had decided to severely punish these thugs.
The ideal is beautiful, but reality is cruel. Just as she was about to descend and get down to business, she realized the helicopter was spinning in the sky.
He asked Catwoman sternly, "Why don't you land?" How many people die every minute you delay? You're really careless and in no hurry.
Catwoman was even more depressed than her. Can't I get anxious? I was so anxious that I had blisters in my mouth. "Tell me where to land. It's very difficult here!"
Before she could finish speaking, some idiot shot a bunch of bullets at the helicopter in the sky. How could he hit it from such a high distance? Even if he did, it wouldn't have kinetic energy. It seemed like his bullets were in vain.
Thea looked at him and was very messy. The weather wasn't good today. In fact, the weather in Gotham has never been good. I don't know what the weather is like in this damn place. It's cloudy 300 days a year. She was about to look carefully when they stopped on a flat piece of land, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw a bald man with a familiar face running out holding a rocket launcher.
Thea was shocked: "Oh, pull away quickly, hurry!"
Catwoman's reaction speed was also very fast, and the helicopter performed well. At the critical moment, the rocket flew close to the bottom of the helicopter.
"Huh!" The three of them let out a sigh of relief.
