Chapter 596 A Difficult Decision
Shi Xia's tone was very sincere and his attitude was very upright.
From his words, everyone present could hear that the situation had reached its most serious point.
Perhaps Pietro, Kara and others did not understand Shi Xia, but the heroes of the Justice Association knew very well that Shi Xia was a very arrogant person. If he had not really reached a desperate point, he would not have said such a thing.
In fact, many people present wanted to speak up to refute. Among them, many people did not want to give the hope of the whole world to such a group of strangers for various reasons.
Billy looked at Black Adam silently, hoping that he could say something, but Black Adam kept his head down and had no intention of participating in the communication.
Although Black Adam can be regarded as the most powerful existence in the Justice Association, he is also very clear about the seriousness of this problem. Ask yourself, Black Adam is not 100% sure that he can save Kandak. Although he doesn't want to admit it, he also hopes that these strangers can help the earth.
Black Adam is not the only one who has this idea. After really fighting with Apokolips, everyone is very clear about the difference in combat power between each other.
Apart from anything else, Steppenwolf alone has caused them great trouble.
Before anyone could react, Steppenwolf not only attacked Paradise Island, but also destroyed the capital of Atlantis. Even the Ocean Lord died in his hands, which was enough to prove the opponent's strength.
This time, if Batman hadn't risked his life to replace the genetically modified monster, the outcome of the war would have been uncertain.
And this is just Steppenwolf. There are still many stronger beings on Apocalypse who have not taken action. When they mobilize their troops to attack the earth, I am afraid that with these heroes of the Justice Association, there is no chance of victory at all.
Quietly listening to the words of Shi Xia, Ashley licked her dry lips and cast her eyes on Pietro beside her, while Kara and Tony Stark did not respond. This time the captain was Pietro, and all the decisions were on him.
Pietro was silent.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, even he couldn't help feeling a sense of looming pressure for a while.
He had never sat in this position before, so Pietro always followed orders without thinking too much, but this time, he knew he had to change.
This is not something that can be guaranteed by a slap on the chest.
War is never a joke. Once it starts, people will really die.
So even if Pietro really wants to help the Justice Association, he is not ready to agree directly. Everything needs more careful planning.
So thinking of this, Pietro pondered for a while before speaking.
"Mr. Taylor, I know your idea, but this matter is of great importance, and I still need to think about it carefully."
Hearing this, Tony Stark, who was holding a glass of wine in the corner, smiled.
Immediately, he retracted his gaze and focused on the red wine in front of him.
And Pietro continued. "To be honest, we came here this time to complete the deal with Bruce. Please allow us to complete the deal first.
As for the matter of Apocalypse, we also need to discuss it internally before we can give you an answer."
After Pietro's voice fell, everyone present nodded slightly. Although they were curious about what kind of deal Bruce would make with these people, they also knew that now was not the time to talk about these things.
Shi Xia nodded heavily.
"Okay, then I will wait for your reply. During this period, there are still many things in the association that I need to deal with. Although there was a previous press conference, there are still many troubles. I am afraid I can't stay any longer."
"Me too, Kandak still needs me." Black Adam also spoke. "If there is anything, please contact me then."
Shi Xia stood up and spoke to the people of the Justice Association. "Everyone, take care of each other. Midnight Doctor, you stay in the Batcave to look after Bruce and help deal with Gotham's affairs. Gotham cannot live without Batman."
"Okay, I'll try my best." Midnight Doctor nodded, feeling a little stressed.
The heroes all know more or less about Gotham's affairs. The criminals here are not ordinary people. Although most of them don't have any superpowers, those crazy people can always come up with some new tricks, which can easily make people fall.
Wildcat and Green Lantern have both been chivalrous in Gotham before, but the results were not good. Green Lantern killed a couple on the other side of the city in order to save a car of people, and Wildcat was hit by a club and almost had an accident.
After the discussion, all the heroes got up and walked out of Wayne Castle in twos and threes.
"Pietro, Kara, I'll come see you after get off work."
Before leaving, Barry Allen said hello to Pietro. They were old acquaintances, and they hadn't seen each other for so long that they really wanted to find a chance to have a good chat.
It's a pity that Barry Allen can't stay in Gotham City. After all, he still has a police internship to complete in Central City. He has been late three times this month. If he is found again, he will probably lose his job.
As a hurricane hit, Barry Allen disappeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
In the hall, only Pietro and others, as well as members of the Bat Family and Teen Titans, were left.
"When I saw Zhang Ye two years ago, I was very curious about his origins."
Red Robin Tim looked at Pietro and Kara and broke the silence.
"When I just became Robin, I was very curious about the Kryptonian invasion war that year, but Bruce kept it a secret and refused to tell me anything until later, a man named Zhang Ye came to Gotham City."
Listening quietly, Pietro and the others understood that this should be what happened when Zhang Ye was in the Wasteland Mutant Academy before.
"I have guessed about Zhang Ye's origin, but it's just a guess. In fact, I have never understood who Zhang Ye is, let alone the relationship between him and Bruce.
Later, Zhang Ye left, just like he suddenly came to Gotham. I secretly searched for Zhang Ye's identity information, but I almost searched all the networks and information, but I couldn't find any trace of him.
At that time, I inferred that Zhang Ye should not be from this planet. He should be like those Kryptonians, aliens who look like earthlings, but they met Bruce by accident.
But I never thought that Zhang Ye's true identity, or the true identity of you people, was from another universe."
"Well, this is hard to explain. I know you may not be able to accept it for a while." Pietro scratched his hair.
"No, I can accept it. To be honest, when you introduced your origins, I felt very happy."
Tim smiled and continued.
"I have always believed in the existence of parallel universes. Now it has finally been confirmed, so it can also prove that in a universe, Bruce's parents have not been killed and he will live happily."
Listening to Tim's words, Pietro and others could not help but stand in awe.
They did not expect that after Tim learned about the existence of parallel universes, the first idea that came to his mind would be this. It seems that old Bruce Wayne has really found a good successor this time.
"You and Bruce are really." Kara was also somewhat relieved.
After Zhang Ye returned, he also talked to her about the things here. Now that she really met Tim, Kara found that this child is really as Zhang Ye said-a very talented Robin.
"I really want to talk to you more about parallel universes, but I also know that you may have a lot to talk about, so I won't bother you."
Tim smiled weakly, and then stood up with the help of Robin Stephanie.
"Gotham can't live without Batman. Now Bruce doesn't know when he will wake up. The Teen Titans and I have to keep an eye on the situation in Gotham. You guys should stay here for the time being."
Several people walked towards the passage of the Batcave. After a few steps, Tim seemed to suddenly think of something, stopped again, and turned back to say.
"Regarding what Shi Xia just said, I just want to say that no matter what decision you make, we can accept it. But, by that time, I hope you can take Bruce away. He is already very tired and it's time to rest."
After saying that, without caring about Pietro and others' response, Tim just smiled faintly and turned away.
Looking at the backs of Tim and the Teen Titans and others leaving, until they disappeared at the end of the corridor, Pietro retracted his gaze and sighed slowly.
"I (swear), I feel so uncomfortable when they do this"
Seeing that there were finally no outsiders in the hall, Ashley immediately collapsed on the sofa without any scruples, and also put her feet on the table.
"Who said it wasn't?"
Kara also rubbed her temples and shook her head faintly.
"I thought it was just a deal, but I didn't expect to encounter such a troublesome thing. Darkseid is not easy to mess with. You know about the Apokolips War Universe. This time it's troublesome."
"If only Zhang Ye was here." Pietro grabbed his head in annoyance, messing up his hair.
"Now you know how difficult it is for Zhang Ye. It's not easy to be a hero."
At this time, Tony Stark spoke up. He smiled and looked at the red wine in the glass, muttering in a frivolous tone.
"Look at Zhang Ye. When did he call himself a hero?"
