Volume 5: The Young Wolf Seeks Home Chapter 63: Mason racked his brains to make Catwoman enjoy her retirement life
The expressionless Demon Knight walked in the space-time channel penetrated by the speed force. In just a few steps, he returned to his hometown after more than two months away amid the changes in the world.
Landing on a wasteland on the outskirts of Gotham City, Little Flash stretched his body beside him and said:
"Want me to take you wherever you want to go, big guy?"
"No, that's not necessary. Just go ahead and do your thing."
The Demon Knight looked around at his surroundings and spoke to the Flash without turning around.
Xiao Shan never interacted much with the people in the magic circle, and he knew from Mason that Jason Blood had a cold personality, so he didn't care about his attitude, shrugged, and disappeared with a whoosh.
He also needs to continue to transform the cosmic treadmill in order to imitate the effect of the World Gate. Although he has successfully entered the plane where the Isu world is located with the help of John Wick, the subsequent precise positioning is still not a simple project.
This job occupies a very important position in Mason and the master's plan, so Xiao Shan cannot be careless.
After watching the Flash leave, the Demon Knight squatted down in the cold night wind, stretched out his finger to draw a mysterious symbol under his feet, then put his hands in his pockets to inject a trace of magic into it.
He waited patiently for several minutes.
As a strange wind blew, an invisible door opened along the central axis and turned into a non-existent door in the green light.
The Demon Knight walked up and knocked on the door, then pushed it open and went in.
It was like the structure of the world's gate, which made him disappear into the real plane as soon as he stepped in, and the gate also disappeared into the wasteland.
This is the Mystery House.
The place where Zuckerberg and Constantine once lived together is a supernatural entity with a mysterious origin that can exist in different dimensions and switch freely.
This was not the first time Jason Blood had entered here, but this time was different.
There were now many more children in the three-story building where Xiaoza was originally supposed to be. When the Demon Knight pushed the door in, these children of all sizes were cleaning the room under Xiaoza's command. They seemed to be preparing to renovate the mysterious house into a large dormitory.
These children are both boys and girls.
The only common feature they have is a special logo on the chest, just like the school badge, but even the same school badge has different details.
"These are..."
The demon knight looked in surprise at Xiao Zha, who was sorting books with a few children. The latter looked up and saw that the old knight was also stunned. Then he welcomed him with a smile on his face:
"Jason! Oh my god, you're finally back! John brought back a letter saying that you went to the Hell Plane to do some private business, but Madam Xanadu didn't believe it.
She always thinks that John murdered you."
"If Constantine had this ability, he wouldn't have fallen into Mason's trap. Mason trained him like a loyal dog."
The old knight saw that his old friend finally smiled. He looked at the children, and Zack told him what had happened in Gotham before and how they found these children.
After knowing that these children also came from a dead world, the Demon Knight's expression became a little gloomy.
He did not comment on the matter, but took out a letter and handed it to Zuckerberg, saying:
"This is from Mason. Destroy it after reading it. Listen to me, Zatanna. I saw a lot of foreign scenery during my journey this time, and I am returning with a heavy mission.
The new secret society we will form will ensure that the end of the world I witnessed will not happen to this world."
Zuckerberg opened the envelope and read Mason's handwritten letter in detail . Some of the content made Zuckerberg shudder. After reading it twice to make sure that all the details were remembered, she summoned fire to burn the letter.
Then she looked at the Demon Knight and said:
"Mason asked us to investigate possible spies and traitors among the spellcasters in this world. This is certainly a just act. However, where should we start?"
"The wizards on the run."
Although Jason Blood had been wandering in the wasteland of Osborne Tower, the information shared by Team K gave him a general idea of what was happening in his hometown.
This old knight who had experienced countless wars and confrontations was sitting on the sofa, his hands crossed and his chin supported, and he said to Zatanna:
“The fact that they were able to evade the pursuit of a group of spellcasters led by Doctor Fate for such a long time is terrifying in itself. There must be someone secretly supporting them.
If you follow this line of inquiry, you will definitely gain something.
But it is obviously not enough for the two of us to do this, we still need help, we need someone who will not be suspected by anyone and who is committed to justice to act as our spy..."
The next moment, their eyes met.
Apparently there's already a candidate.
This person will definitely not be suspected by other spellcasters of approaching with a purpose, and his identity is also very special. His mysterious and peculiar inheritance can ensure that he maintains a relatively good relationship with most of the spellcasters in this world.
It would be perfect for him to collect intelligence openly.
Xiao Zha sighed, she stood up with a headache and said:
"Okay, okay, I'll go look for that naughty kid. I heard that he has been in a state of collapse since he was attacked by a mysterious man in the Bat Cave last time. He hasn't appeared in a long time.
I hope he doesn't suffer any psychological trauma from that failure.
Shazam...
Who would have thought that one day we would need his much-maligned wisdom? But Justice League Dark, what a strange name. Why did it have to be called "dark"?
We are all good people.”
Xiao Zha put on his magician's top hat and complained:
"Maybe it would be better to call it the Magic Justice League?"
——
This time, Xiao Shan brought not only the old wolf and the phantom cat. After settling the phantom cat and having the alchemist brothers help check her injuries, Mason came to the last two "secret guests".
"You've always protected Talia very well."
Mason reached out and grasped the door lock of the small reception room in front of him. He glanced at Bain standing at the door and said:
"How about continuing to follow her? I don't need your help for now.
What I mean is that if you work harder, you'd better win Aunt Talia's heart so that another man won't continue to waste his time on her.
Selina and Bruce's relationship has finally stabilized, so she shouldn't mess things up."
Bane, with his face hidden by a hood, curled his lips and did not answer.
He actually thought about it too.
But he was not born with the qualities of a playboy like Mr. Bruce. He was inferior in appearance and manners, and he was not good at speaking. To pursue ladies, he could only rely on loyalty and hard work.
The eldest lady has always been obsessed with her old love for Bruce Wayne, but now that Catwoman and Batman are about to get married, he feels that the clouds are finally clearing and the moon is shining.
To be honest, when Catwoman escaped from Batman's wedding, the one who was most anxious was not the Batman family, but Bane who was watching the show in Europe.
He was troubled by this matter all that time.
He even planned to help the old man find Catwoman and brainwash her so that she would stay with Batman obediently to create opportunities for himself.
Mason was just playing a joke on Bane.
He also knew that the feud between Aunt Talia and the master was not simply caused by love, and that a loyal lickspittle like Bane could not change the complex relationship between the two.
He pushed the door open and walked into the living room. Talia, with an expressionless face, was sitting on the sofa opposite him, holding a bowl of oatmeal in her hand but looking like she had no appetite.
Because she was still healing from the wound she had received from the old man, she looked like a "sickly" beauty at the moment.
"The commander-in-chief has come to see his prisoner?"
Talia said lazily:
"Should I, a loser, get down on one knee and beg for your forgiveness? Or are you planning to kill me so that your catwoman sister can eliminate the last obstacle to becoming the Wayne mistress?"
"She? She doesn't care about you. In fact, I think a three-way tango is more attractive to her than a two-way relationship. There's nothing I can do about it. She's a cat that never learns its lesson."
Mason pulled out a chair and sat opposite Talia. He played with the speed pinky ring on his finger and persuaded her:
“Think positively. Losing to the old man is not unacceptable. I think with your intelligence, you have already guessed Damian’s plan and your fate when we left the War World.
So, don't show that depressed expression.
I have summoned you here with other work for you.
You don’t have to worry about being exiled, and you don’t have to worry about losing your value and being abandoned.”
"Just tell me what you want me to do."
Talia really didn't want to play along with Mason at this moment. She pushed the food in her hand away and said:
"To train the vassal army? Or to be put under house arrest and used as a vase?"
"Neither. I'm going to give you a chance to start over."
Mason smiled, took out a planned plan from his pocket and handed it over. Talia picked it up and took a look, and was immediately attracted by it.
She stared at the words on the plan for several minutes, then looked up at Mason and said:
"You really trust me with this important mission?"
"What are you worried about?"
Mason rolled his eyes and said:
"The Assassin's heritage in the Isu world has been around for more than 2,200 years. In their eyes, the Assassin's League is just a younger brother among younger brothers. But after all, you have the same heritage, so perhaps you will have something in common.
I can't send a useless guy to discuss such an important matter with Sister Ka. Your image, temperament, strength and knowledge are the most suitable.
I consulted John Wick and he agreed with my idea.
But he needs to examine you.
So, once the Flash bridges the gap between the two worlds, you will have to stay there as our representative. I have absolute confidence in your skills.
The premise is that you don’t do anything weird again.
Sister Ka is not an easy-to-talk-to demigod. If you dare to do something in private, she will chop you to pieces. Your proud father can't last more than five moves in front of that godslayer hero.
So, there are risks, and you need to consider them.”
"Don't think about it. I'll take this job."
Talia put away the plan and smoothed her long hair, seeming to come alive at the sight of getting a valuable new job.
The foxy woman sat up straight and said to Mason:
"Since I am destined to have no share of the legacy left by my father, I might as well start from scratch and form my own Assassin's League. I am not someone who cannot afford to lose, and it is even more rare that you are willing to give me this opportunity.
Okay, Mason.
I admit that my previous view of you was somewhat one-sided. You are a qualified leader who at least knows how to use people wisely, but I have to make a plan in advance."
"Bane can't go with you."
Mason reminded:
"The Deathstroke Corps is still short of an assaulter. Luther has mentioned this to me several times. They need Bane's tactical mind and his fierce strength."
"You're going too far!"
Talia said unhappily:
"It's fine that you helped Selina take Bruce Wayne away from me, but now you're going to take my backup too?"
"You can always find someone better, so please let the honest man go, Aunt Talia."
Mason curled his lips and said this. Just when he was about to discuss this "diplomatic representative" job in depth with Talia, a little girl's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Mr. Mason? Are you there? Come with me and take a look! My brother is fighting with a little brother named Damian."
"Um?"
Talia's expression changed instantly.
Mason sighed, stood up and opened the door, then saw Valeria Richards sitting in a wheelchair outside the door. The little girl's face turned red with anxiety.
Mason gave her a soothing agent to calm her flushed face, then asked:
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Time goes back ten minutes ago...
"I want to go out for a walk, Dad."
Outside the Osborne Tower treatment room, Jimmy Houtley said to the old wolf who had just finished chatting with old Emma about the past. The wasteland boy pointed to the city outside and said:
"I've never seen such a prosperous place. I will go home on time in the evening, Dad."
"This place is not prosperous, my poor child, but you can't ask for more from a guy who grew up on a wasteland farm, so go ahead."
Old Wolf, smoking a cigarette, waved his hand. He was also going to go have a drink with his old friend Hawkeye. Jimmy was going to go out and ride his flat-blade motorcycle to get familiar with the new environment.
If nothing unexpected happens, their family will live here permanently in the future.
Jimmy Hautley had no aversion to the wasteland. He even felt relaxed by the familiar scenery of his hometown.
But soon he saw a strange man in red flashing between the buildings in the elevator going down, and the guy was still shouting:
"Damian! Come out! I know you followed me, come home with me! Alfred threatened me that if I couldn't take you back, I wouldn't be allowed to enter the Batcave again!
Don't cause me any trouble, you naughty boy!
come out!"
"Who is Damian? "
Jimmy thought curiously, then walked out of the elevator.
“Don’t look back!”
A small voice sounded on Jimmy's shoulder. Damian Wayne, who had used the world shrinker to shrink himself to the extreme and hid in the old wolf, crossed the rift of time and space and grabbed the collar of the wasteland boy and said to him:
"Keep going! Farm boy, if you dare to expose me, I will beat you up!"
"Um?"
The wasteland kid who inherited Wolverine's blood frowned. How could someone dare to threaten him? And it seemed to be the so-called "Damian"?
Okay.
Then let me show you how powerful we wastelanders are.
A few minutes later, after Jimmy reached a dark alley outside Osborne Tower, Damian breathed a sigh of relief and enlarged himself to his normal form.
He flipped in the air and landed on the ground with deft and cool movements, and pulled up his cool hood. Without turning his head, he waved to Jimmy Hautley, who was acting as a "disguise tool" behind him, and said:
"Thanks, farm boy. I'll treat you to dinner some other day. Now go back to your awesome claw daddy."
He said this, acting like a Gotham master.
But before he took two steps, a stone hit him from behind. Damian dodged it nimbly and turned around, taking out two bat darts and holding them in his palm. He turned back and glared fiercely at the person who attacked him.
Jimmy Hautley behind him moved his shoulders, thrust out his bone claws, and said to the snotty guy in front of him:
"The last time someone threatened me it was some bastard from the Hulk gang. I wonder who's more powerful, you or the son of the Hulk? You annoying little runt."
bite!
A fatal keyword has been detected! Damian is accumulating anger! Damian takes the lead in launching an attack!
Son of the Bat VS Son of the Wolf, first round, start!
