The Knights of the DC House

On the balcony of Wayne Manor, Bruce Wayne, dressed in formal attire, sat there, sipping the black tea that Alfred had made for himself. Opposite him, Superman also took off his suit. The two of them sat there.

Sitting face to face like this, not speaking to each other, Superman finally followed Lex's suggestion and came directly to Wayne Manor to send the information that he was looking for Batman through Alfred.

It's just that he didn't expect that Batman, who had been searching so hard but failed, would appear in front of him, and at this time, he would blurt out the words that he thought he would never say again.

But after they finished speaking, the two sat facing each other in silence, waiting for one of them to break the strange silence. Bruce was very patient. He sat there, took a sip of tea, and watched Clark in front of him sip after sip.

After drinking up all the black tea in the cup, he continued to pour tea from the teapot and refilled the cup. Only when there was no more tea in the teapot did Clark put down the tea cup in embarrassment. Looking at Bruce across from him, he still said: "Continue drinking, I'll wait for you to finish."

Clark recognized the expression on his face. He was asking for help, so it was better to lower his attitude.

"I didn't expect you to be in Wayne Manor." As soon as he spoke, Clark wanted to slap himself, as if he was specifically looking for trouble with him.

"I can still come back and live in my home for a while. You came to me not to simply reminisce about the past, but let me guess, you came to me for those few little guys who suddenly appeared in Gotham?"

"Why are you...forget it, it has been five years, I have seen your methods, and I just want to ask you to help find them. In exchange, during this period, the Superman regime will not cause you any more trouble."

Clark offered his own price, very decisively, but it made Bruce frown.

"What? You still think my conditions are not good enough?" Clark didn't understand the reason for Bruce's frown and continued to ask.

"No, I just want to say that we have been fighting each other for five years. For the first time, the two of us sat here drinking tea calmly, and the first sentence you spoke was to negotiate terms? Sit down for a while and let's talk.

Let's talk about each other for the past five years. As for the information about those little guys, I will pay attention to it. This may be the last time we have a peaceful chat."

For some reason, when Bruce said that this might be the last time they met, Clark's heart softened, and the heart that had been silent because of the death of his wife and children began to beat again. As he was about to leave, he sat down again and asked:

"Okay, what are we talking about? Today I guarantee that only the two of us know these words, and no third person will know."

"Well, let's talk, Louise and you." With an understatement, Bruce directly stabbed the pain in Clark's heart that could never be erased.

"How dare you mention Lois to me!" Clark roared.

"Why not? You are now so cowardly that you don't even dare to face the fact that your wife and children are dead!"

Bruce's rhetorical question made Clark stunned. Many things have always been a mystery to the authorities. This is the case with Batman in the Injustice Universe, and the same is true with Superman. But this time, luckily, Ke Wen, as a bystander, awakened Batman, so Batman

I can also jump out of the previous extreme state and re-examine my entanglement with Superman over the past five years.

"If it weren't for your indulgence towards the clown, Louise would not have died, nor would my unborn child!"

"I admit that I should have killed the Joker from the beginning, but that was not me. I knew from the beginning what kind of person I wanted to be. I do not have any power to sanction others, even if I know

The Joker's crimes are heinous, but if I take action, I will become the kind of person I hate and even fear the most. The same goes for you, Clark, think about the vows you said when you married Lois, and now you have done it

Which point, every thing you promised at that time, every principle you should adhere to, what point have you achieved now!"

"Stop talking!" Facing Bruce's question, Clark said with an ugly face.

"Don't run away from it, face it, just like you once faced the Doomsday so fearlessly! I can't undo the fact that Louise died, but you have to recognize this fact and understand why Louise died back then.

Choosing to marry you, why did you choose me to be the godfather of your child! Those qualities that you and I have always adhered to!"

"I said it! Don't say it again!" Unable to bear Bruce's questioning, Clark roared angrily.

Every word he said made him feel ashamed. When the two of them calmly recalled everything that had happened and the memories of fighting side by side, Clark realized that he was no longer the person who brought justice and peace to the world.

The kind-hearted Superman was getting further and further away. This strong contrast made Clark unable to accept it. In shame, Clark planned to punch Bruce, his former friend, but Bruce just refused to dodge, looking at Clark,

Since the Joker dares to use himself as a bet to make Superman fall, he can also use himself as a bet to redeem Superman.

The fist stopped a few centimeters in front of Bruce, and the wind contained in the fist blew the teacup on the table away. The two just stood there facing each other. Bruce looked at Clark. There was no disappointment or fear in his eyes, only a kind of expectation for himself.

The hope of returning old friends.

"Why stop, Clark, just like those people in the past, you ran away when the Joker was mentioned and used Lois' death as an excuse for everything you did. Why don't you continue this time, because you understand, Lois

I never wanted you to be such a dictator, all of this is just an excuse for you to be a coward!"

"Enough! Find those four little guys. This is my last cooperation with you. You and I both know that we can't go back. You are the leader of the underground army that resists me. I am the one who imposes my will on the world.

Superman, whether Lois wants it or not, we can't go back. From the moment I killed the Joker, we all lost."

Forcing himself to calm down, Clark admitted so frankly for the first time everything he had done before, whether it was because of killing the Joker or his own reasons, one thing he was right about was that there was no longer any way between him and Bruce.

Looking back. In the past five years, I know what I have done, and the whole world can see it clearly. Some of the previous things can be explained by righteousness, such as the fact that he single-handedly destroyed the Apocalypse troops that invaded the earth.

But what about the massacre of the Green Lantern Corps? What about the bloodshed that killed Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow, Black Canary, and Guy Gardner? Those who were killed by him for protesting against the imposition of his will on the world.

What about the person? His hands are already stained with the blood of innocent people. The so-called putting down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha immediately is empty talk. So what if he says I am wrong now? So what if he apologizes to the people of the world? Those who once inflicted upon them

Is the pain in your body so easy to erase?

People used to think that Superman was a god sent by God to save them, and the justice and kindness that Superman always upheld made people believe it. Now people also see the other side. This god who saves them can enslave them and destroy them at any time.

Then the trust that has been built up over the years will no longer exist. So, what's the use of admitting your mistakes or not? No one can look back anyway, so let's see the real deal!

Clark responded coldly to Bruce. Clark could see the disappointment in Bruce's eyes, but he avoided Bruce's direct gaze, "I will only give you one month. After one month, come directly to the Hall of Justice."

I, your authority, I have always reserved."

With a simple word, Clark left, put on his suit again, and left Wayne Manor, just like the conversation he had with Bruce in the Batcave, except that this time they talked more deeply than the last time.

The deeper you go, the more you understand. When Clark returned to the Superman who imposed his will on the world and left, the light door next to Bruce opened, and Ke Wen and others walked out. Looking at the disappeared Superman, Ke Wen

Then he asked: "How about it? Do you still need to take little Jonathan over to see him?"

"No, no need, everything has been answered." Bruce's voice was a little bitter, "I always thought he just couldn't get out of that quagmire, but now it seems that there is no use getting out, he is covered in mud and can no longer

Returning to the bright world, it's time to end this battle. In one month, not only for him, but also for us. Let's prepare while we can still make some preparations.

"

"Really? Then train little Jonathan more. No one will get involved in the fight between you and Superman except us. The people of the world no longer care who loses or wins. Although Superman is said in some respects

He is a tyrant, but he did bring the world to a long-lost state of peace. Even if this peace is based on dictatorship, it is still peace."

"They will care. Human beings are born free. No one likes to kneel all their lives. Get ready." Bruce was a little tired. Today was his last conversation with Clark, and there would be no more.

Bruce went back to his room, and Ke Wen also looked at the direction in which Superman left and fell into deep thought. From the current point of view, Superman can no longer look back. So, what should be done next to make the ending of this unjust universe better?

Better yet, he doesn't want to fight another wave of Brainiac here. He and others don't have so much time to spend here. Brainiac should be left to the Justice League of this universe to deal with it, but he has to ensure how

Let the Justice League in this universe have a greater chance of winning.

Just as he was thinking this, the departing Deathwing flew in front of him again. Among all the people, only Ke Wen noticed the approach of Dick, the dead man. When Dick approached, he waved the magic in his hand, and Dick's figure appeared again.

in front of him.

"What's wrong?"

"Help me go to Bluhaven. I think we might be able to get Batman a fighting force there."

"Bluhaven? Okay, I get it, but I have to bring another little guy there. Is Damian free? Come out for a moment." He shouted to Damian in the hall, who was eating alfredo.

Damian, who had made the cake for him by Red, came out and saw Dick with a crew cut and a ghostly look standing next to Ke Wen. When he greeted him with a smile, his mouth that was chewing stopped moving and he held it in his hand.

The cake he was holding also fell to the ground.

Note: Guy Gardner is also a member of the Green Lantern Corps and a native of Earth. Earth is the most special place. There are about six Green Lanterns, all of whom were backdoors opened by Hal. There is also a man named Bly.

Nyak, not Briank, was confused when he had a cold.
