Batman's Owl Godfather

Steve is in a very low mood now.

Before he had time to mentally prepare, he saw his lover's old age, and the beautiful memories sealed in his heart suddenly changed.

Seventy years is easy to say, but it wasn't until he met Peggy that Steve faced the ruthlessness of time.

Steve couldn't help but sit aside, and Bruce stepped forward with concern.

"Captain, are you okay?"

"fine."

Steve waved his hands, his whole state showing signs of depression.

Bruce sat beside him without saying a word.

After waiting for a long time, Steve talked about what he saw and heard, as if talking to himself.

"Peggy has Alzheimer's disease, and she will soon forget even what she has just experienced."

Steve raised his head and sighed heavily, "But no matter how many things she forgets, she still remembers my appearance."

This is what makes Captain America so embarrassed.

It might make him feel better if Peggy forgot something.

But she didn't.

Paige still remembers him and even looks forward to meeting him in her dreams.

"well!"

Bruce sighed heavily, "Sentiment has been filled with hatred since ancient times, and this hatred lasts forever."

"Alas!" Steve also sighed.

"Gu Gu!"

Suddenly, a mysterious bird call came into Steve's ears.

The cry seemed to have magic, dispelling the sadness in Steve's heart and bringing new hope.

Like a student seeking advice, he looked at the owl master floating not far away.

At this moment, Bruce asked Katum: "Really?"

"Goo!"

Even though Steve didn't understand the owl's language, he heard the answer in the affirmative.

But he didn't dare to confirm and could only wait for Bruce's translation.

"The master said that human aging is not a problem at all in front of him."

Bruce explained to Steve at the right time, "Rejuvenation is just a simple task of Master Owl."

"real?!"

Steve almost jumped with excitement. He really didn't expect to get such an answer.

"You didn't lie to me?"

"Absolutely not!"

Bruce assured Steve.

"Then what should I do!" Steve was already a little incoherent. "I, I mean, what should I do so that you can make Paige young again?"

When Steve said this, there was a flash of hesitation in Steve's heart.

Is it really okay for him to make his own decisions like this?

Maybe Paige doesn't want to be young again and just wants to live out her life quietly?

But soon, Steve put these hesitations behind him.

Whether Peggy wants it or not is Peggy's business.

What Steve has to do is try to put this choice in front of Peggy.

"It depends on the master's wishes."

Bruce said calmly, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go ask the master for advice."

He then walked up to Katum and started talking to him.

The language they talked in fell to Steve's ears, and it was like aliens talking. This experience was like Ron seeing Harry talking to a snake.

"You don't really want to trick Steve all the way to the end, do you?"

Bruce asked Katum suspiciously, "Like those deceitful villains who give others a little hope that they can't even hope for, and then drain all their value?"

"How is that possible!"

Katum cursed and said, "How bad do you think of me?"

"You're not a good bird anyway," Bruce said, "So you're going to help Steve?"

"Of course I will help," Katum said. "Returning to youth is not a difficult task."

How could it not be difficult?

Bruce thought to himself that at least he didn't learn this kind of magic at Hogwarts.

Even the magic stone can only make people immortal, but not return to youth.

unless--

"You want to use metal?"

Bruce asked rhetorically at first, and then felt something was wrong, "Can a stingy guy like you really be willing to let go?"

"Of course I can't bear it!" Katum said confidently, "I didn't say that I would use metal to restore people's youth. I have plenty of ways to do it!"

After saying that, he pulled out a stone slab directly from the feather.

Seeing this slate, even Bruce was in a trance. He searched in his mind for a long time before he remembered where this slate came from.

The Slate of Life.

They got it from Kingpin's vault when they were in the Twilight Wolf universe.

According to Katum, this is a tablet that holds the secret of life.

If the above content can be cracked, a youth serum can be developed to make the twilight people young again.

"If you don't take it out, I'll really forget that we have this thing." Bruce couldn't help but sigh.

"Who is with you and us?" Katum said, "This is my thing, don't get involved with it!"

"Okay, okay, whatever you say."

Bruce didn't want to get entangled in this kind of thing. Just because something didn't belong to him didn't mean he couldn't use it.

"So you've cracked the slate?"

Bruce asked, "What materials are needed to develop youth serum?"

"I don't know," Katum said. "I haven't looked at this slate since I got it. I don't know what is written on it."

"Then you still swear by your word?"

Bruce was almost angry. He didn't crack it. How could the dead owl still act so confident?

"Just because I can't decipher it doesn't mean you can't understand it."

Katum said, "Don't you have Diana's power? Diana knows all the languages ​​on the earth, and it is easy to decipher this slate."

"I'll just say it!"

Bruce suddenly smiled, "At the critical moment, you have to rely on me!"

"What difference do we have between you and me?" Owl also said with a smile, "Isn't your power my power?"

"Yes yes."

Bruce pointed at the Slate of Life, "What about this slate?"

"It's still mine." The owl's expression changed instantly.

…

Steve has been waiting quietly next to him.

Finally, after Bruce asked Master Owl for instructions, he came over with a serious look on his face.

"how's it going?"

Steve asked anxiously, "What price do I have to pay?"

"Well..."

Bruce kept a straight face at first, and then smiled when Steve's heart was in his throat.

"The master said that he never talks about the price, but the fate."

"Fate?" Steve was stunned, "How much fate does it cost?"

"It depends on your sincerity."

Bruce said, "As long as you have the heart, even if it's just ten dollars, it's fate."

Steve's words were suddenly stuck in his throat.

Not to mention ten dollars, he doesn't have a dollar now.

Moreover, if Katum can really bring Paige back to her youth, Steve will definitely not be able to send her away with only ten dollars.

"Bruce, to be honest, I can't get a penny out of my hands right now."

Steve's face flushed red, "But I have this strength. As long as Master Katum says a word, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

That’s what I’ve been waiting for!

Bruce immediately waved his hand and said, "Hey, you are exaggerating. We are not that worldly. We just want your attitude."

"That's absolutely no problem!" Steve said immediately.

"good!"

Bruce nodded, "Then don't worry, we will make Ms. Paige return to eighteen years old!"

Um?

Steve suddenly thought to himself, it doesn't have to be eighteen.

Since accepting the wine theory, Steve has no interest in girls anymore.

But he thought about it and decided not to express any opinion.

Let Peggy make her own choice.

…

The development of youth serum takes time, and Steve can't rush it.

He was accommodated in a guest room at Kamal Taj, which was equipped with a laptop computer so that he could understand the modern world.

The night is getting darker.

With mixed emotions, Steve lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling with his eyes open.

He had been sleeping for seventy years, and now he couldn't close his eyes.

"Hopefully everything goes well."

He thought to himself, "Master Owl is not going to lie to me, he is really capable."

That out-of-body experience, coupled with the dream of Peggy, had convinced Steve.

Now it's just a matter of waiting.

Steve took out a pocket watch from his arms, and when he opened it, there was a picture of Paige inside.

Looking at his lover's appearance, Steve's heart slowly calmed down.

On the other side, Katum's room.

Bruce was lying on the stone slab, rubbing the words on it.

Katum sat on the other side, holding a stuffed owl in his hand and mumbling something.

"Can't you come over and help me?"

Bruce said angrily, "You are such an owl, and you still like to play with dolls!"

"Just do your job well, why are you talking so much!"

Katum said indifferently, "And I'm not playing with a rag doll. This is a communication device. I can talk to the person on the other side through this doll."

"Then who are you talking to?"

"What do you think?"

Katum smiled maliciously and said, "Of course it's Diana! I was talking to her about what happened to you that day."

"What?!"

Bruce suddenly stood up from the stone slab, walked quickly to Katum, and reached out to grab the doll.

Then Katum twisted his body and dodged easily.

"Let me talk to her!"

Bruce said, "You had this means of communication, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"She doesn't want to talk to you right now."

Katum said, "In fact, she feels disgusted when she hears your name now. If she hears your voice, she might be so sick that she vomits."

"Why?" Bruce was puzzled, "She can't do this to me!"

Katum shook his head: "It was originally impossible, but you have to know that five years have passed in the DCEU world now."

Bruce has broken the five-year promise.

"So soon?" Bruce couldn't believe it. "I've only been away from the DCEU for a few months! No, let me explain to Diana!"

"That's not necessary."

Katum hid the doll behind his back, "Diana is angry right now, so what can you do if you talk to her? Can you go see her?"

this--

Bruce was speechless for a moment.

"Moreover, there are people fanning the flames in her ears." Katum said, "She really hates you now."

"Who's fanning the flames?" Bruce asked.

"Me!" Katum puffed up his chest, "Diana and I have been in prison together, and we have a good relationship. I told her everything you did here!"

So what happened?

Bruce thought to himself, he didn't do anything shameful, he just said what he said, shouldn't Diana be so angry?

unless--

He looked at the owl fiercely, this guy must be adding fuel to the fire.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Owl suddenly shook his head and said, "You work hard. When this big project is completed, I will let you chat with Diana. After all, she is angry now, so you have to let her slow down."

"Big business?"

Bruce's tone was laced with sarcasm, "Is it a big deal to fool Captain America?"

"Hey, don't say that!"

The owl put the doll in his hand into its feathers, then jumped off the chair and came to the Stone of Life.

"I'm afraid you don't even know what a great cause you are doing now!"

"Then tell me." Bruce responded expressionlessly.

"Think about it first, Bruce."

Katum jumped up and down on the slate, "According to past experience, you should be a rich person now, but now look at yourself, how much money do you have?"

"A few billion," Bruce replied.

Pack up and sell the gold bars and collections in Katum Feathers, and easily make billions.

"That's all my money."

Katum said, "I'm talking about the money of the Wayne family. Fike Wayne is dead, but none of his property has fallen into your hands. Don't you find it strange?"

"Wasn't it swallowed up by SHIELD?" Bruce asked, "I thought it was obvious."

"It's not that simple."

Katum said, "Although S.H.I.E.L.D. likes to expropriate other people's things, if such a large amount of inheritance disappears for no reason, it will not have much to do with them."

If it was really SHIELD who did it, Bruce should be silenced.

"So I want to see who swallowed your inheritance."

Katum reminded, "Bruce, don't forget, back in the DCEU world, you promised that all the inheritance this time would be mine!"

This is indeed the case.

When Bruce used Katum's gold bars casually, Owl was very unhappy, so he made this promise.

Now, someone has swallowed Katum's inheritance. With the character of an owl, it would be strange not to fight with that guy.

"Then what are you going to do?" Bruce asked.

"First we have to make some money and build a reputation."

In American society, only when you have money can you have status, and only when you have status can you do what you want to do.

"What we are developing now is an artifact that will help us gain status!"

Katum grinned and said, "Think about it, Bruce, if there was such a serum in the world that could make you ten years younger with just one sip, would those rich people go crazy about it?"

"More than just rich people."

Bruce blurted out without even thinking, "The whole world is going to be crazy about it, and you're going to be the most popular owl in the world."

"That's it."

Owl said, "As long as the youth serum is developed, we will naturally have fame and status!"

Then, you can investigate what you want to investigate.

but--

"The serum needs to be diluted."

Katum thought to himself, "I have the final say how many years of youth you can regain with one sip!"
