The Death Knell

"Go, go, don't watch around, you can't understand, why are you joining in the fun?"

Harley, who was sitting next to the booth, felt that a group of people were surrounding her, making it difficult for her to breathe, so she waved her hands impatiently to send the people around her away:

"You can go roast some marshmallows by the campfire, or tell some ghost stories like at summer camp. Also, that little black man, I asked you to use the speed force to help me find a bottle of wine. Did you find it? "

"Where can I go to find wine? You mean stealing, right? I don't do this kind of thing." Hei Wally looked aggrieved, and he even began to doubt whether he should be here.

There is no alcohol in this fast food restaurant, only various soft drinks. If you want to get alcohol, you have to go to other stores to get it.

But now in the middle of the night, there are no stores open. There are 24-hour supermarkets, but now they all have electronic entry and exit systems. There is no electricity, and the cashier cannot swipe cards to pay.

Hearing Wally Hei's words and looking at the expression of an incompetent child on his face, Harley shook her head with hatred, stood up and walked out of the booth, poking Xiao Hei's head with her finger:

"You're so stupid. You're a black man. It's not illegal to go to a supermarket in California to get something that doesn't exceed $900. Why don't you go quickly?"

"Ah? Is there such a thing?" The black child couldn't believe what Harry said, so he turned to look at Damian.

"Harley's statement is a bit biased, because it is actually illegal. According to California's Title IV amendment, theft involving no more than $900 is not punished as a felony, but only a third-degree misdemeanor."

Robin held his arms and leaned on the bar of the fast food restaurant to watch the excitement:

"It's almost the same as some people wandering around naked on the street. After being arrested by the police, you can get out with a bail of about one hundred dollars. Even if you are tried in the future, you will be sentenced to community service at most."

"It's still illegal. If I don't go, I won't go without death." The black Lightning Kid was still a little insistent, although this persistence seemed very weak when surrounded by a group of anti-heroes.

"Actually, as long as you are not caught, it is no longer a crime, because the law needs people to enforce it. Without the ability to enforce it, it is just empty words. Your speed is enough to ensure that you will not be caught. "

The dark Damian didn't think it was a big deal. In all his years in Gotham, he had never seen Commissioner Gordon call the police because a bottle of wine was lost in a supermarket. This level of theft was tacitly accepted in Gotham. In order not to commit a crime, even Batman won't care if he sees it, as long as he doesn't encounter the Humiliation Team:

"In addition, you are of African descent and are still a minor. If you can prove that you are disabled and gay, I am 100% sure that even if you are caught, you will be released without charge soon."

"Stop, stop talking, I understand what you mean." Wally rolled his eyes. His skin color made his eyes look particularly white. After sighing, he stretched out his hand: "It's okay to run errands, but You have to give me money and I’ll buy Harley a drink.”

He still gave in, even though he knew that Harley and Damian were just teasing him, but these two people were too dark and evil-minded.

I am obviously not having fun at all...

"It should have been like this a long time ago." Damian boldly took out a roll of banknotes tied with a rubber band from his pocket, and threw it to the errand boy like a drug dealer who purchased goods: "Buy two boxes of good wine and bring me back. Patrol friends drink.”

The Chief is also rich and Damian has his own plans.

After all, the members of the Doom Patrol are either discriminated against by society or abandoned by their loved ones. They are sensitive and fragile inside. What they need is to be treated normally and even respected by others.

It's easy to say, but it's actually a bit difficult, because this team of people are either ugly or weird, each has mental problems, and they also have some terrible superpowers, so it's difficult for ordinary people to regard them as human beings.

Take Elemental Girl as an example. She was originally a member of the Justice League and Diana's good sister. She also controlled the five elemental powers of fire, earth, water, ice, and wood, allowing her to create chain reactions between various elements in battle, destroying The strength and auxiliary ability are very strong.

For example, if a stone is burned with ultra-high temperature fire and then frozen with extremely low-temperature ice, the stone will crack on the spot. This is a simple phenomenon of thermal expansion and contraction, which can also be used to protect the enemy. Go to A.

But it was because of the power of these five elements that her body turned into five colors, her limbs were red, yellow, blue and green, and her head was pink.

There have also been problems such as parts of the skin becoming as dry and rough as clods of soil, uncontrollable leakage of large amounts of body fluids in public, and unintentional fires.

The Justice League did not exclude her. After all, the Big Seven were considered upright people, and there would be no internal bullying in a team with them in charge.

But when a person develops an inferiority complex, she will feel that others are always talking about her behind her back, let alone a team like Zhenglian that is always in the spotlight.

In the end, Elemental Girl went crazy and couldn't bear the psychological pressure and online violence brought by the outside world's attention, so she quit Zhenglian.

But it was a blessing in disguise. After joining the Doom Patrol and keeping company with other 'patients', Elemental Girl's mental state improved. She is now no different from a normal person.

Just don't say keywords like 'ugly', 'deformed', 'freak', 'disgusting' and the like in front of her. Maybe one day she will recover from her illness and return to the Justice League.

The other people in the Doom Patrol are in a similar situation to her. Some are really discriminated against, and some want to escape from the world because of their psychological problems. They now live in the chief's hometown and have no worries about food and clothing, and they long to be respected. This is a more High spiritual needs.

Two boxes of wine were not worth much, but Damian hoped to use this method to make them have a good impression of him.

This is actually what Harley has been hinting at. This woman is reminding Damian to take control of the leadership of the new group. The Doom Patrol actually does not obey the chief very much and is a very useful group of people.

After taking the money, Wally disappeared for a moment, and soon came back with two boxes of wine, but the little black man said with a weird look:

"I saw a group of people blocking the door of the Hall of Justice and knocking on it. I didn't get closer to take a look. I don't know what happened. They were so excited in the middle of the night. Maybe they were asking for debt?"

"Don't worry about it, Nightwing will take care of it." Rice took out the birdie darts to open the box and distributed the wine to the idle people present: "We have our own things to do."

"Uh, okay, I think Zhenglian should be fine too." Wally sat down and rubbed his stomach, feeling a little hungry: "But you haven't said yet, what exactly should we do next?"

The dark boy also took a bottle of wine to taste, regardless of the fact that he was not of legal age for drinking. He said:

"Rescue Xiao Wu first, and then we go find Superman. This situation is unusual. We need sufficient force and hope."
