As the spring and summer of the second year came around, Tony Stark held a grand birthday party in late May, and everyone in the United States was on his invitation list. For some complicated reasons, Moses went with Timothy Drake.

Who would have thought that after a six-month battle for Robin, Tim finally saved Batman from overtime hell and successfully earned himself a chance to train in the Batcave - it sounds a bit tragic.

Of course, Batman said this was a probation period, and he had no intention of stalling for time to muddle through. He had no intention of taking Robin on night patrols, but Nightwing and Red Hood took advantage of the situation to incite the butler Alfred to rebel, and Tim wrote a 20,000-word paper citing classics to prove why the Dark Knight needed an assistant. Seeing that no one had any intention of giving up in the end, as an adult, Moses could only step back and keep the peace.

Later, after Tim finished his homework, he would occasionally help look at the documents of the Wayne Group, under the pretext of relaxing and taking a break.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the industrial cooperation between the Wayne Group and the Drake family is becoming increasingly close.

"But I still didn't expect you to come here with the young master of the Drake family." President Stark held the goblet in one hand and shook the index finger of his other hand. "Well, you don't look like the kind of person who likes children."

Regardless of the relationship between Batman and Iron Man, the relationship between Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark is similar to that of most wealthy people who have both cooperation and competition, which can only be described as superficial friendship. However, due to the complex feelings towards the vigilante in Gotham, Tony is willing to come and talk to this playboy from the same city for a few more words.

But he soon discovered that finding common ground was difficult.

It's not impossible to talk about Batman, but considering people's current attitude towards superheroes, Tony feels that he will only end up boring.

Finally, he could only choose to start with the irrelevant scraps: "How does it feel to become a father at such a young age?"

"It's hard to say." The black-haired man sat nonchalantly on a high chair, looking aimlessly in the dim conference room. It was unclear whether he was looking for something or just in a daze. "It's quite troublesome sometimes. Teenagers' ideas are mostly different from those of ordinary people. When I was communicating with them, I felt that half of my hair turned white."

Tony couldn't help but laugh: "Your girlfriend would never think so - her attention would only linger on your face."

"And my wallet. After all, it is well known that the chairman of the Wayne Group only has these things worth coveting." Moses sighed and took the initiative to change the topic, "Let's not talk about me. How have you been recently?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Stark's light brown eyes moved slightly, and he became visibly alert: "I assume you are asking about Stark Industries?"

"That's about right," Moses said. "Perhaps I'm more interested in your little business of saving the world." He asked with a curious and eager expression, "Are there any cosmic crises recently? Do you need to work in outer space?"

Iron Man's vigilance faded, and he was speechless: "...Why do you think so? I thought I was basically still operating in the United States."

Besides, who in their right mind would go to outer space for no reason?

Fight aliens?

But before Thor came along, even aliens were just legends!

Bruce Wayne is either a fool with ulterior motives but limited IQ, or he is just an ordinary person who has watched too many Hollywood movies and has a misunderstanding of the scope of superhero activities.

Of course it’s because of the system.

Moses also clicked the ellipsis in his heart, knowing that his IQ must have been questioned in a short period of time. But there was no way, the system had been hinting for several days that he should open two accounts and adapt to the new identity, and repeatedly mentioned the "threat from the universe".

This second superhero is known to have an archenemy, Lex Luthor of Metropolis.

But even if Luther's hair is thinning, he wouldn't collude with aliens to attack his homeland for this reason, right? Do aliens have a secret recipe to cure baldness?

This is absurd. As far as Moses knows, Luther is still obsessed with biological research and has published several papers in scientific journals as the second author. Even if he really intends to solve this century-old problem, he should be inclined to overcome it himself.

Therefore, the only force he knew about that was related to the universe was the Avengers, which was about to be established.

I don't know if they have any inside information that is circulated within the team.

Batman's obsessive-compulsive disorder strikes again. Faced with a system that cannot provide too many details due to rules, he always wants to consider all aspects before making a decision.

Nightwing and his friends were surprised to find that the imaginary enemy that Gotan Knights had recently imagined when making plans had suddenly changed from the Arkham Maniac to an alien. According to the system's vague description, this alien even possessed many bizarre and suspected superpowers, such as great strength, invincible physical defense, speed second only to the Flash, heat vision, freeze breathing, etc.

Alfred gently advised his father not to think too far ahead.

Dick even stopped playing games, fearing that Batman got inspiration from those fantasy online games where one-hit-999 kills were enough.

Moses was speechless and became increasingly anxious.

The system advised him: "Don't worry, your next shell is very, very strong, there will be absolutely no problem!"

Moses: "Strong enough to fight against a few aliens who can lift airplanes with their bare hands, have invincible physical defense, and are second only to lightning in speed?"

System: “…You may not believe it, but it really works.”

After all, you are creatures of one planet.

Moreover, Superman absorbs the yellow sun's rays for a longer period of time, making him even more powerful than the rebel leader of Krypton.

Moses: "You seem to think I'm taking it too seriously. But I don't think I've overestimated the danger of the enemy, unless you think this is a very common thing. Will super-powerful alien villains appear one after another in the future?"

The game version is updated too quickly!

How can the people on Earth who are still developing nuclear weapons enjoy the experience of Cosmos Online 2.0?

The system, which cannot reveal spoilers, can only watch as the host's mentality explodes and his anxiety rises to a new level.

"I always have a hunch." At Stark's birthday party, Moses pretended not to notice Iron Man's puzzled look and said to himself, "After all, I heard that aliens are no longer just a joke for scientists to debate. Since there are races that are friendly to humans, there must be intelligent creatures that hate us or want to invade the earth."

"You and Luther have a lot in common," Tony said. "I know he owns a newspaper. The employees are very good at guessing what their boss is thinking. They debate topics like 'Those who are not my kind must have different hearts' every day."

Moses immediately said, "I have no prejudice against your teammates, whether they are aliens, mutants or...any kind."

"I know." Tony said frankly, "I don't deny this possibility, but even the American law states that you can't convict a person based on your own assumptions before he or she has committed a crime. Even if there are a lot of bullshit in the laws of various states - for example, there is no death penalty for Gotham - I agree with this one. Let them argue, freedom of speech, and arguments in the trash can can also be published in the newspaper."

He does have a lot of resentment, and Batman understands him, but they are talking about completely different things.

Judging from the attitude of the SHIELD consultant, the US officials really didn't get any information.

"Forget it." Moses said to the system, giving up all preparations. "What should I do? I decided to adapt first."

He vaguely felt that unlike Batman, this new superhero conflicted with the rational plan - whether actively or passively.

System: "Where is the landing location?"

Moses thought about it for a moment.

The principle of this dual-opening operation is very complicated, and it seems a bit like split personality. But according to the description of the system, he will never have the feeling of "I am looking at myself" when using two identities to look at each other. The host's consciousness and soul will be divided into two equal parts, and merged with the hero's body sleeping at the bottom of different bodies. In addition, in order to ensure rationality and not fall into madness, he will also retain a perspective of thinking independent of the superhero.

In simple terms, the top-level rationality dominates behavior, and emotions, personality, and thinking become two unrelated people. There will be no self-perception conflict or lack of substitution, nor will you completely forget your identity.

So, rational analysis, maybe being closer will make it easier for the two parties to help each other?

He thought of another city across the sea from Gotan.

"Metropolis."

The system chuckled in a human way and said kindly, "No problem."

Then Moses felt his vision blossom.

Iron Man, who was talking to Bruce Wayne, noticed that the black-haired man's blue eyes were blank for a moment, and then he turned his head and looked in the direction of Metropolis as if he sensed something.

After that, he looked away as if nothing had happened, his expression normal: "Sorry, I was a little distracted. Where were we just talking about? Oh, yes, the US Congress last week..."

metropolis.

Lex Luther was presiding over a meeting when the noise of people on the street came.

Unlike Iron Man who still has time to save the earth and Wayne who seems to have nothing to do, President Lex is really busy. He has his own company to manage, as well as some small side businesses that are hobbies and not very visible.

So much so that when his own company's employees began to be affected and frequently looked out the window in restlessness, he found it difficult to suppress his inner disgust and contempt.

"What happened?"

The young president, as usual, hid the sharp side of his personality, walked to the window expressionlessly, and raised his head in the direction of people's sight.

He saw an overly bright red cape fluttering in the wind above the iconic statue building of the Daily Planet.
