The Death Knell

Despite this, her willpower is also very strong. She did hundreds of stitches all over her body without any anesthesia, without even blinking an eyebrow.

She was once a student at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, but was expelled for falling in love with a female classmate while at school. She then returned to Gotham City and decided to act like a gangster because her mother died when she was a child. Like my brother, I became a masked vigilante.

Bruce was very nice to Kate and was very enthusiastic. They often walked around and had dinner with each other. He also asked Afu to call his daughter back from the UK and asked Julia to help the unkempt Kate with her daily life.

But Batman is not Bruce, and he is not friendly to Batwoman. When she first returned to Gotham, she endured a lot of hardships and finally proved herself. She was allowed to use the code name of Batwoman and wear the red Bat logo. battle suit.

But the condition is that she can't interfere with anything about Batman. She is a member of the Bat-family, but not entirely.

This may be a bit difficult to understand, but to put it bluntly, it means that she is not allowed to play with Batman's figures without his consent.

Batman seems to regard her as a naughty child of a relative, and is worried that she will mess with someone. Of course, it may be to protect her, who knows.

For example, if Nightwing or Damian saw Scarecrow trying to rob a bank on the street one night, they could stop him immediately without waiting for instructions from Batman.

But Kate can't. If she sees the same thing, she can only inform Batman first. Without permission, even if Scarecrow wants to run away, she can't take action.

This is the condition under which Batman can tolerate her.

It was okay at first, and Kate thought this was good during the learning stage, but as she gradually got used to the life of a vigilante and participated in many 'games' with Batman, she gradually became unsatisfied.

She wants to do more and do better. After all, even Nightwing has become independent, but she still has to act based on Batman's face. She can't even compare to the treatment of her nephew Damian.

The two had a dispute about this. She wanted to help her cousin more, but Bat refused. He didn't need help.

The rules are like this, do it if you like it, and get out if you can't accept it.

Apparently she doesn't realize that Batman isn't Bruce, and Bats don't like help.

He would take his assistants with him, but Robin was more like his protégé, and if they felt they had learned their way around the darkness and wanted to be independent, they would have to leave Gotham.

That's the rule, because Gotham is Batman's city.

Originally, the two were going to have a quarrel if things continued like this, but there happened to be some events related to "Devil's Blood" happening in Gotham at that time, which gave Kate an opportunity.

There are all kinds of madmen in Gotham City, and many people live in despair. Demons and some ghosts like this kind of soul flavor best, so there are many mysterious incidents in this city.

Batman doesn't like things related to the mysterious side, because these things often don't make sense.

He didn't want to study why ordinary street gangsters would turn into ferocious monsters by simply injecting themselves with devil's blood with a syringe. Their height would increase several times, their weight would increase dozens of times, their DNA would completely change, and they would master a host of spell-like abilities.

This is all too unscientific and illogical. He has always stayed away from magic and is planning to ask the Dark Zhenglian to solve it.

But the smart Kate said that she could take over such magic-related cases. From now on, she would be responsible for the mysterious side-related incidents in Gotham City, and Batman would not be allowed to interfere.

Batman thought about it, after all, the members of the Bat Family are closer than the Dark Alliance. Kate's willingness to divide the work like this is better than having that bitch Constantine mess around.

So from then on, the division of responsibilities between the two was almost settled, with Batman dealing with people, and Batwoman dealing with 'ghosts'.

As she successfully solved different mysterious side events in the days that followed, the relationship between Batwoman and Batman also received a great boost, and they now work well together.

As her performance got better and better, Batman also slightly relaxed the restrictions on her. Today, except that she is still not allowed to fight the clown, she can play with other 'figures'.

However, Kate now has some psychological problems because she often deals with dark creatures. She is no longer interested in human crimes.

Unless a bad guy hits her in the face while doing something bad, she would rather go to an alley and wrestle with demons summoned by homeless people than worry about someone using a nuclear bomb to blow up Gotham.

She doesn't know any magic and has no magic knowledge like Bobo, but she likes the feeling of being attacked by magic monsters, and often has various hallucinations and weird dreams because of this.

In the dream, there were flowering plants with human faces, arms full of thorns, demons and angels fighting around her, and she was extremely happy.

If Diana's magic resistance comes from her bloodline and equipment, then Kate's magic resistance comes from the fact that she is attacked by magic again and again in daily life, and gradually develops resistance.

Just when Su Ming was recalling Kate's condition, the housekeeper had finished treating her young lady. Kate, who had been sewn up like a rag doll, jumped up from the power-off operating table, moving her neck and Limbs:

"Okay, even though you sewed me up to look like Frankenstein, I still love you." She smiled and hugged her housekeeper, ignoring Julia's sharp eyes, and walked aside to put on her uniform. : "Okay, Deathstroke and Detective Orangutan, you are looking for me about these robots, right?"

She put on her own bat hood, a very special style, a half-face helmet shaped like a bat with spread wings and a long red wig.

"Yes, we suspect that these robots are actually magic weapons." Su Ming handed her a cigarette and asked her to adjust her state a little: "Since you have fought against them, tell me what you think. "

Faced with Julia's murderous gaze, Kate did not light up the cigarette immediately, but pulled the death knell and walked out.

"We went out to talk. Julia didn't allow me to smoke in the cabin, otherwise I would have nothing to eat."

In this way, the three of them returned to the back deck of the yacht. There was a white open-air sofa here, which was very comfortable and expensive. She continued:

"My opinion is similar to yours, because the whole world is currently experiencing a power outage, but these robots are still moving. I have also tried it. The energy they use to operate is not electricity."

The rain in the sky was getting heavier and heavier. Fortunately, there was an awning above the back deck. It was interesting to hear the sound of rain falling on the shed. She skillfully lit a cigarette and took out wine from under the coffee table to entertain the guests. .

She smokes, drinks and gets tattoos, but she's also a good girl.

Taking the high-end red wine from the woman, although it was not the type of drink Su Ming liked, he did not refuse: "It would be better to say what kind of energy the other party used, we don't know yet."

"I've seen all kinds of magic. Gotham is always full of madmen, but this kind of robot..." Kate took a puff of her cigarette happily and looked at the circles on the dark sea. : "Ordinary magicians don't know how to play with robots. I have a hunch that the 'people' behind these guys want to make big news."

She also raised two fingers to make a tick and put quotation marks when saying the word 'person'.

"This is similar to what we thought." Bobo took a sip of red wine. Obviously he didn't like the sour taste. The orangutan put down the wine glass and jumped on the coffee table: "Then Batwoman, if you have any investigation ideas or clues, why don't you share them with me? Orangutan me, let’s all think about it together.”
