Chapter 112 Chapter 112 Is it really you?
Ultimately, friendship and family ties overcame the urge to complain. Benjamin said, "Do you two have anything you want to collect? We're going to Wayne Manor soon."
What else can we do?
I recognized my brother and gave birth to my child, so of course I can only choose to forgive him.
When Bruce provided them with the courseware, he'd told Li Hua and Benjamin to check in on their progress every weekend. But that weekend, the Court of Owls bird theft incident happened. After a frantic bird hunt, the weekend quiz had been postponed and moved to today.
"I've prepared it a long time ago." Li Hua gave a thumbs-up to a bulging shopping bag behind him. "Where's yours?"
"I'll clean it up when I transform into Kryptonian and send the kids back. That way it'll be quicker."
Benjamin naturally held an Ice Ghost cub in his arms. The new parents' increasingly sophisticated RUA cub skills made the cub squeal with joy, waving its short legs and arms, and randomly kicking away a sibling that tried to rush up.
"Just get to the manor before 6pm, right? It's still early."
Because there are so many secrets in their house, they draw the curtains even during the day, and the lighting in the house is almost entirely incandescent.
But sunny afternoons are an exception. The harsh sunlight will penetrate the curtains, turning them into soft, dazzling spots of light. This is one of the few opportunities for this room to be bathed in ultraviolet rays.
"It's a beautiful day today," Li Hua said, cradling a young Ice Ghost in one arm. He looked at the flickering light spots on the curtains, which were being pulled by the Ice Ghost cub. "It's perfect for basking in the sun."
The red hood that intimidated countless criminals in Blüdhaven slowly moved horizontally across the coffee table. Before it could fall, Jason reached out and scooped it up. The ice ghost cub inside the hood danced with joy, wanting to play again:
"Now that you mention it... My skin is even whiter than the day I sat up from the grave."
Actually, since they found this safe house, they have been spending most of their daytime in the house taking care of 14 energetic ice ghost cubs. They only go out for night patrols at night, and almost all of their meals are taken out.
After waking up from sleep for such a long time and going to bed at sunrise and getting up at sunset, the time they got the most sun recently was when the magic boys F3 went on a team-building trip to the snowy mountains.
Of course, those who lack light do not include Benjamin, who has to go to the sun to pick up his children every day and accompany 14 ice ghost cubs to play in the wilderness every morning to expend his energy.
"The weather is perfect today, and we have plenty of time. How about we walk to Gotham? It's not far anyway, just a few subway and bus stops away." Benjamin suggested, "Ever since Li Hua and I came to this world, we haven't had a good time exploring. How about after I transform, I put the luggage at Wayne Manor, send the children to the sun, and then we can go for a walk?"
Due to the special nature of their identities and parent-child relationship, they have always been rushing around, which is indeed efficiency-oriented, but too boring.
Li Hua and Jason expressed their agreement.
A magic boy who is too conspicuous will not take off or land directly from a densely populated area. Kryptonian Benjamin will directly send Li Hua and Jason from the city. As a result, they have lived here for more than a month and have hardly walked around. They are the most familiar strangers to this community.
There's no rush anyway.
The three of them hit it off immediately. After the Omnitrix's transformation buffer ended, Benjamin put the children in the sun nursery and placed the three people's luggage in Jason's room in Wayne House. Then he and his friends changed clothes, put on their travel bags, and walked out of the room in the afternoon sun.
Since they were not in a hurry, the three people who wanted to take a walk and see the scenery chose to take the bus.
Looking at the scenery outside the car, Li Hua sighed: "When Benjamin and I first came to this world, we also took a car from Metropolis to Gotham like this."
Same corner of the bus, different circumstances.
At that time, the train ticket almost took out the last bit of change in Benjamin's pocket. After a night on the road and spending the night in a fast food restaurant, they drank a cup of Coke. The only assets they brought on the train were their equipment and two cups of ice cubes that were gradually melting in the Coke cups.
Now they carried mineral water and snacks in their bags, and compared to the previous trip, it was as comfortable as a picnic.
"Yes, but we weren't as leisurely back then as we are now."
Although that happened just over a month ago, Benjamin couldn't help but sigh when he thought about the series of events that had happened in the past month.
“Who could have imagined so much could happen in one month?”
When Benjamin and Li Hua dropped a space teleportation device into this universe alone, who could have imagined that a month later, there would be fourteen more Nakfugi cubs on his kinship network, becoming de facto heroic mothers of various kinds?
How unpredictable things are.
"That's right."
Although Jason did not participate in Li Hua and Benjamin's short trip to the metropolis, when it comes to what happened in the past month, his feelings are no less than others.
Putting aside the part about the deceased making things happen, a month ago, they were still surviving in the wilderness and starting their own business by preparing delivery rooms for women who were about to give birth. Now, with Benjamin's "sponsorship", they are already enjoying the happiness of having their children around them.
Today is a weekday, and there are not many passengers outside of rush hour. Sitting at the rear of the bus away from other passengers, Li Hua was able to enjoy the scenery outside the window while chatting in low voices, as if they were really on an outing.
Ah, this is youth—
"bump!!"
In Gotham City, a bus collided with a private car driving in the wrong direction.
The bus driver was about to argue with the car driver, but he saw that the car driver decisively chose to abandon the car and flee after confirming that the vehicle could not start. He could not help but stop the rude remarks that were about to come out, and looked in the direction where the car was coming from, and found that there were a large number of people running towards this side.
Alas, this is Gotham.
The bus driver remained calm and swerved the steering wheel and tires to try to get out of the danger zone. However, he saw three boys with backpacks at the rear of the bus jump out the window in the rearview mirror. He popped his head out the window and yelled, "Are you trying to kill yourself? Get back here!"
"We're home!"
A black-haired boy shouted without looking back, and took the other two people into the alley on the side of the street.
The skillful movement of avoiding danger made it clear that he was a native of Gotham.
"Oh, Gotham." The driver sighed and turned the bus away.
In the alley, Li Hua and others took out their combat uniforms from their travel bags and quickly put them on.
Packing mineral water and snacks for travel is just a side job; carrying vigilante equipment is their mission.
Among them, Benjamin's clothes, which only consisted of a coat and a mask, were the easiest to change. After changing his clothes, he quickly snapped his watch and transformed into an alien with a red body, bright yellow horns and wing membranes, and an equally bright red tail, resembling a pterosaur and a bat.
"Jet ray!"
Benjamin used the claws at the end of his winged hands to hook a necklace-like communication device from his travel bag and hung it around his neck. He left a message for Li Hua, who was still fighting with the Liuheyi Nanfu battle skirt, and Jason, who was helping Li Hua fight with the skirt, then flew into the sky and rushed towards the source of the commotion.
"I'm leaving now. See you later everyone!"
The "Stinger" that Benjamin mentioned is the Aerophibian from the planet Aeropera, and is also the fastest alien hero in his hands in theory.
This "fastest" includes Kryptonians, because according to the information retrieved by No. 666, the Aerophibians can be so fast that they can distort the space and time around them and reach another galaxy in an instant.
The reason for this being "theoretically" is that Benjamin's current speed isn't that high. Due to his age and lack of proficiency, the stingray Benjamin transforms into can only fly at supersonic speeds.
But that speed is definitely enough for the moment.
Benjamin, transformed into a stingray, quickly found the culprit of the riot. Over a dozen frantic giant vines were waving across the city. He circled in the air, blasting the attacking vines with green rays from his eyes while reporting, "Guys, there are a few vines here that are wreaking havoc."
"Poison Ivy. Can you find her? She has long, curly red hair. She should be pretty obvious against all the green."
This unique method of attack was like having an ID card on his head. Jason pulled out two bottles of portable herbicide from his travel bag and threw them to himself and Li Hua.
"Strong herbicide. Spray the roots of those plants with this, or they'll keep growing."
Jason had anticipated this day ever since he saw Swampfire.
The citizens of Gotham generally have excellent disaster prevention awareness and quality. Li Hua and his team only realized what had happened when they saw the fleeing citizens of Gotham. By the time they arrived at the scene, all the citizens of Gotham had already evacuated.
It took a total of five minutes from the time they overturned the car and found a secret place to change clothes to the time the entire Magic Boys F3 arrived at the scene, which even included the time it took Li Hua to activate the flying staff.
With a flying stick, Li Hua unscrewed his herbicide bottle and activated the [Wind] card to evenly send these plant killers into the roots of the explosive headline vines.
"I didn't see Poison Ivy." Benjamin landed on the streetlight, his three slender toes tightly grasping the lamppost like a bird. "But I saw Batman and Robin. They were dealing with these vines a few blocks away, so I went over to help them. They also asked me if I had found Poison Ivy."
"Looking for me?"
Several vines suddenly sprouted from the ground beneath Li Hua and Jason's feet, quickly trapping them like attacking vipers.
In the alley of a nearby building, a woman with fiery red hair walked out of the shadows. Her skin was a strange light green. It was the Poison Ivy that everyone was looking for.
"I advise you not to act rashly. My children are strong enough to crush your friend's bones before you attack."
As loving as Poison Ivy's expression was when she looked at the plants, her expression was as cold when she looked at Li Hua and Jason.
"Even though I want to kill those who killed my child right now."
"I also advise you not to act rashly, magic boy. You might be able to hold on, but your little friend with the red helmet can't. Want to see who's faster?"
The laser in Benjamin's eyes and Li Hua's attempt to use the [Dismissal] card stopped when he heard this.
Jason wasn't as nervous as Li Hua and Benjamin. He was still in the mood to make a few sarcastic remarks: "Did you psychopaths agree to take turns kidnapping people?"
First, the giant and the scarecrow tried to kidnap Li Hua, and then Luther tried to kidnap Benjamin. Now it’s finally his turn, right?
Poison Ivy ignored Jason's joke and looked at the Stingray in the air. "What did your friend with the same logo on his chest do to Killer Croc?"
