What is in the location given by the gang leader Roman, that is, Falcone? Moses understands Xiao Chou's determination to shock the world, but according to convention, his subordinates and opponents eager to strike are all in Gotham. Unless there is something that particularly interests him, there is no reason to leave.

What interests Xiao Chou often means danger.

"Master," Alfred said, "I'm sorry to interrupt you, but do you really want to leave now?"

Moses was awakened from his reverie, raised his head and looked at him blankly: "What's the problem? Did I miss something again?"

The butler walked over quickly and without warning placed his palm on Moses' forehead. The slightly cool contact with the skin made the young man shiver uncontrollably.

"You're a bit undercooked. I'm going to order some vegetable soup and toast, and some cold medicine - today is Thanksgiving, and most people are staying home to enjoy turkey and pumpkin pie instead of braving the snow to go to another city to fight a lunatic."

"What if that lunatic is Clowney and I happen to be Batman? This isn't just about me." The black-haired man stared at the screen and said vaguely, "You know what will happen if you leave him alone, Alfred. It's not for anything else, if an innocent family suffers because of this, I can't live with myself."

"I'm sorry. But if someone else said that, I would think he was too arrogant... When you shoulder too much responsibility, it's not good for yourself or others." The old man whispered, his eyes confused and sympathetic, "Excuse me, sir, you are not in a good mood today, even Red Hood and Catwoman have noticed it. Is it because of Thanksgiving?"

He met Moses's puzzled blue eyes, pondered for a moment, and then tentatively said, "Do you want to try calling your relatives?"

The suggestion came so suddenly that Moses suddenly remembered the alley that Scarecrow had seen when he was under the influence of the poison gas.

"They're dead," he said subconsciously. "Don't you know?"

Alfred's throat choked. It's not that he had never experienced death before, but he was tired of it because he had seen it too much. Then he began to hate those predators who lived for their own greed: "...I, I'm sorry, I don't know."

"I'm sorry, it's my fault." The young man woke up from a dream, "I mean, I didn't have time to tell you."

"...Where is the cemetery?"

"You reminded me." Moses raised his head and looked out along the slope of the Bat Cave. "I should build a cenotaph for them near Wayne Manor."

Alfred didn't want to continue this topic. He hurriedly sorted out Batman's action equipment according to the list, raised his hand and pinched his nose to cover up: "I will remember to arrange this, sir, what is your next plan?"

"Have you taken your cold medicine?" Jason sat in the back seat of the Batplane, fastening his seat belt while fussing, "I'm not concerned about you, but I don't want to fail in the middle of the flight because the pilot fainted from a high fever."

Batman ignored the kid who was deliberately making a fuss because he didn't respond, and lowered his head to check the instrument. Catwoman held her chin and said beside him: "It's unlikely that he will eat it, kid, don't you know that cold medicine will make people sleepy?"

"That's better than being half dead."

"Or maybe Batman bought a pharmaceutical factory and produced a strengthening drug like Captain America's serum." Catwoman said in a mysterious but determined tone, "But because it was too expensive or had too many side effects, it couldn't be circulated on the market, and eventually became exclusively for Bats, just like the gadgets in his pocket and this plane."

Red Hood said suspiciously, "Where does Batman get his money from?"

Catwoman: “I stole it.”

"Varied……"

"Okay." The man in the driver's seat said without turning his head, "I didn't let you get on the plane to make fun of me."

Catwoman's fake beard twitched on her mask and she mouthed to Red Hood: He's as irritable today as if he's on his period.

Red Hood: "..."

The young man jumped up and said, "Shut up! I'm not an adult yet!"

They ascended into the sky in this relaxed atmosphere of fighting and playing. On the way, Moses briefly reflected on why he was so soft-hearted that he stuffed these two things into the back seat - because he didn't intend to reveal the address of the Batcave, he left two people and a Batmobile outside. When he accidentally looked up at the surveillance before leaving, he suddenly found with a little horror that a masked man and a masked woman were squatting behind the wheels and mumbling, probably studying how to remove the stubbed tire and resell it.

Batman, who was suffering from a cold and fever, almost choked: That's the Batmobile!

Who doesn't love the Batmobile!

Anyway, Batman was very worried about finding his beloved car disassembled into Lego toys, so he took Catwoman and Red Hood with him.

After all, it's safer outside Gothic than inside Gothic.

perhaps.

Half an hour later, Moses felt that he should not have raised the flag.

In the distance, a barrel-sized lightning bolt landed without warning under the clear sky, like the fuse of a firework, causing a series of crackling explosions, accompanied by rolling smoke, which was a bit festive in the festive atmosphere of Thanksgiving. The Batplane was still a few kilometers away from its destination, but even so, it could see the mushroom cloud rising into the sky in the distance. Moses turned sharply and began to circle in mid-air. Red Hood half-knelt on the chair and turned his head, saying in shock: "Don't tell me that this was done by Ugly?!"

Neither Catwoman nor Moses spoke. A faint awkwardness lingered in the small space.

It feels like my hometown is incompetent at anything on a normal day, but becomes the villain who embarrasses the city and causes trouble at critical moments.

"Where is Xiao Chou?"

The high-tech scanning device inside the plane started to work, and after a moment it was aimed at a figure in a nearby building.

The muzzle of the gun extending from under the wing was aimed at the target.

Before Moses could press the start button, a red and blue shield suddenly came closer in a way that violated the laws of physics, knocking the weapon that was about to fire off course. Then a face recognized by people all over the country appeared in Batman's sight.

Catwoman said: "That's Captain America? Really him? He seems to be asking us to get off."

"Nightwing will regret this." Red Hood said, "He missed Captain America's autograph."

"He has to go to school, not in Gotan." Moses paused, and suddenly remembered something, "Why didn't you go to school yesterday?"

“…”

Catwoman shrugged her shoulders, as if trying to hold back a laugh: "Forget it, Bat. You can wait until we get back alive before you go to hold a parent-teacher conference for the students who skipped classes."

When the Batplane landed on the ground, Captain America looked at the same group of people who seemed to live in both winter and summer with confusion. He kindly ignored this doubt and said to Moses: "I apologize for my attack just now, but this building is highly dangerous now. Xiao Chou——"

His narration was interrupted by a cough. Batman covered his mouth and turned his head to the side. After a while, he asked in a voice that was even hoarseer than usual: "Joker, what did he do?"

The captain's eyebrows were raised, and he vaguely felt that the other party's health condition seemed not to be good. But the two of them had just met for the first time, so they should not talk too much, so he pretended not to notice anything unusual and calmly continued the topic just now: "This is a secret research base of S.H.I.E.L.D., which contains many secrets. Just a few days ago, a Nordic thunder god broke into here. Of course, the matter has been resolved now, but this also caused some loopholes in the internal security work of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Captain America paused for a moment, giving the other party time to understand, question, or even blame him. But Batman said nothing, only nodded: "Go on."

"This gave Xiao Chou a lot of room to maneuver. His talent for seducing people was impressive. A senior agent was turned against us. He leaked our operational arrangements and planned the ambush just now. Fortunately, he did not die for the time being, but unfortunately, he completely turned this institute into his own amusement park. If we had attacked rashly, the hostages inside would have been killed immediately."

Batman asked without hesitation: "What conditions did Xiao Chou offer?"

Steve Rogers was almost amazed at what he knew about the villain inside the door. No wonder the director of SHIELD seemed to have been waiting for Batman to come to the door after discovering that the troublemakers came from Arkham.

Clowney is different from the enemies they have faced before. The green-haired man has a kind of chaotic evil that is difficult for others to understand. Batman can seek the help of the Whisperer to catch Clowney - listen to the advice of a madman to catch another. Of course, Captain America doesn't know this yet, but he knows that Gotham is indeed different from other places.

"He only asked for one thing - to let the Gotan people go in and face him." At this point, the upright World War II soldier looked at Moses sincerely and apologetically, "This is our mistake. In fact, you don't have to take the risk. You know Xiao Chou, maybe we can find another way..."

"If I really knew him," Batman said, "he wouldn't give us the chance to try other options."

He returned to the plane and sorted out his equipment as if no one was around. He pretended not to notice Captain America, who was hesitant to speak, and said to Catwoman and Red Hood, "You two stay with him and wait for me to come back."

Catwoman: "I'm sorry, you not only understand Xiao Chou, you should also understand me. I seem to have never been very obedient."

Red Hood: "I'm not from Gothic? Why can't I go?"

"The ugly one is me." Moses gave them both a warning look - hoping that the Batmobile would outlive the Batmachine - and then said to Captain America, "I will contact you if there is any accident."

As the words fell, the curved corner of the black cloak disappeared into the glass door with a smiley face sprayed on it in green paint.
