Chapter 602: The Bat Family Assembles
Outside the wasteland universe, the mysterious house.
Mastering the magic of the portal, Tony Stark can freely travel to various places in the universe, which makes his hero recruitment plan much more convenient.
When he went to Attilan to find Batman, the heroes on his invitation list had gathered in the conference room and waited for a long time.
In the dim conference room, the burly and strong Jason was leaning on the chair, with his feet on the table, not looking like a hero at all.
"I say, we haven't seen each other for a while."
Hearing Jason break the silence, Nightwing Dick also nodded slightly, he picked up the cup and took a sip, and replied. "There are too many things to do in the wasteland, busy."
"Busy?" Jason frowned. "I remember that your Justice League has been stationed next to the Hulk Gang. I heard that you are the supervisors of that gang. You usually have nothing to do and eat small meals."
"That's right." Damian couldn't help but speak after hearing this.
"There is no Hulk Gang anymore. That group of green monsters died a lot of people in the last conflict with Clark. Now the rest are scared. Dick, you really found a 'good job'."
"Do you two really believe these rumors?"
Listening to the sarcasm in his two brothers' words, Dick was helpless and complained.
"It was agreed to re-form the Justice League, but in the end, Quicksilver and Venom went to work for the Supervisors. They are usually not seen.
It's okay for them, after all, the work of the Supervisor is more important, but not long after, Shazam also went to be the Guardian of the Temple. Now I can't even form the Seven Giants, where can I go to complain."
Dick shook his head and said. "Now I heard that magic is back and Thor is also going to rebuild the wasteland Asgard. Tell me, how should I lead this team?"
Hearing this, Jason sneered and curled his lips. "Come on, stop being so ungrateful. Luthor's favorite is Superboy Connor.
Don't think I don't know that the job of overseeing the Hulks was originally intended for Hawkman, but Luthor transferred you there. Do I need to point out the purpose?"
"If you say so, then we should talk about your Avengers." Dick looked at Jason and said. "Mrs. Shiva and Colossus, we agreed to be the candidates for my Justice League. Tell me, how did they end up on your side?"
"Nonsense, don't you see what kind of people I have under my command?"
Jason was so angry when he mentioned this.
"Guess how old that Ant-Man is. He's the same age as me when I was just adopted by Bruce. What's the point of asking me, the Red Hood, to come here to take care of the kids, and the female warriors and the Nova, all newcomers, without any experience.
Only Hawkeye has some skills, but do you know what she did before? She was the captain of the second generation Hawkeye's guard team. She's more arrogant than me, and she always finds fault with me."
"It's meaningless for you to say this. At least you can lead the team in person. What about me?"
Damian supported his chin with one hand and held the table with the other hand, crying without tears.
"I asked you to help me intercede and see if you can let me stay in the wasteland, even if it's to form a Titan, but what happened is that you threw me directly to the watchtower."
"The watchtower is not good. So many people want to go there but can't." Jason said casually.
"How about we switch?" Damian immediately looked at Jason.
Seeing this, Jason immediately turned his head away, pretending that he didn't hear Damian's words.
Seeing Jason's reaction, Damian rolled his eyes at him and continued.
"Doing diplomacy with all kinds of aliens every day, and having to learn the etiquette and culture of various civilizations, tell me, is this what I should do? I'm Robin! Sin Buster, okay! Now let me be a shitty diplomat."
"Okay Damian, your duties are set by Bruce himself. I think this is also a training for you. You can't be Robin all your life. I think Bruce is also training you." Dick said.
"That's it." Jason also spoke. "Now the wasteland is pursuing stability and progress. We superheroes are slowly being eliminated. What you have to do now is to find a place that belongs to you before the new era comes."
Listening to the words of his two brothers, Damian's face became more and more strange.
What new era, what elimination?
Damian's suspicious eyes looked back and forth between Dick and Jason for a while, and then he couldn't help asking. "You guys, didn't you get some news?"
Hearing this, Dick and Jason looked at each other, and then looked at Damian together.
"You've been in the watchtower, so it's normal that you don't know. Luthor is going to incorporate superheroes into the planetary defense plan. In the future, the distance between heroes and ordinary people will become farther and farther."
"What do you mean? Aren't we supposed to protect the people? Why are we getting farther and farther away from them?" Damian frowned in confusion.
"It's the civilization in the universe that's causing the trouble. After the battle with the Church of Truth and Galactus, the eyes of the entire universe are focused on the Earth. Luthor believes that the Earth will face more challenges in the future."
Dick said in a deep voice. "So in this case, we must push the heroes to the front line. In the future, our battlefield will not be the wasteland, but outside the Earth."
Jason next to him also spoke in line with Dick's words. "As for the interior of the Earth, that is, the wasteland, Luthor will establish some new organizations, which we commonly call the 'hero reserve team'.
Luthor will select some outstanding children from the wasteland to train them. They may be fighting masters like us, or mutants or other superpowers.
When we go to the universe to deal with various problems, these people will be responsible for protecting the stability of the wasteland. When they grow up, they will come to the universe to take over from us."
"Although this is just a proposal, there is not even a specific action plan, but I think there is a high probability that this plan will be implemented in the future."
Dick said, and his eyes fell on Damian. "So Damian, you should know how important the work you are doing now is. It can be said that what you are doing now is what we will do in the future."
"Is that so?" Damian opened his mouth.
He really didn't expect that things would develop to this point. How should I put it? The times are advancing too fast, even for young people like them - they are afraid that they will be eliminated by this era if they are not careful.
Although Damian is also an experienced "old" hero, it is not a small span for him to move from a street hero wandering in Gotham to the universe all of a sudden.
"Look at Kate, how many places she has traveled with the Guardians of the Galaxy. From this, we can see that only Kate and you have this talent in our Bat Family. Damian, you have to work hard and make a good start."
Hearing this, Damian nodded seriously.
He didn't know it before, and he often complained. Now after listening to the words of his two brothers, Damian realized how important his work is.
This is likely to lay the foundation for the future work standards of superheroes in the new era. After all, after the reconstruction of the wasteland is completed, the earth will definitely enter a state of super-fast development, and it is not impossible to open up the universe.
However, thinking of this, Damian showed a puzzled look again, and he asked curiously.
"Since my work is so important, and you two are also the leaders of the two most powerful organizations in the wasteland, why did Tony Stark suddenly call us here?"
After the voice fell, before Dick and Jason answered, the door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside.
"That's because you have a more important task to do now."
Tony Stark pushed the door in, looked around, and his eyes swept over Damian, Dick, and Jason one by one, and then walked into the conference room.
And following Tony Stark in, there was Batman Bruce Wayne, who had just left Attilan and didn't even have time to take off his battle suit.
Seeing the arrival, Dick and Damian subconsciously stood up, only Jason, still maintained his image-ignoring posture.
Leading Batman to the conference room, Tony Stark walked quickly to the center of the conference room, asked everyone to sit down, and then cleared his throat.
"I have already told Batman the reason why I called you here this time. I will repeat it again to make you three prepared."
Listening to Tony Stark's words, Dick, Jason and Damian all pricked up their ears and cast their eyes on Tony Stark.
Fearing that they would miss some important news.
And Tony Stark was also very satisfied with the reactions of the three of them, so he continued to speak.
"You also understand that the wasteland universe is now very short of supplies. In order to get everything on track, under the leadership and instruction of Zhang Ye, the wasteland will conduct long-term cross-universe trade with the parallel universe called 'Flashpoint One'.
That is to say, from now on, the two universes will be completely allied and will conduct a long period of trade and communication. In order to express sincerity, the other party has already sent two batches of supplies to support the wasteland.
In theory, this should be a win-win cooperation, but the other universe has recently had some accidents-they have been targeted by Darkseid."
"Darkseid?!"
In an instant, the three Robins sat up straight.
"Yes, in the first fight with Apokolips, the Batman of that universe was seriously injured and unconscious, and other heroes were also injured. In this case, the probability that they can stop the attack of Apokolips is almost zero."
"So."
Tony Stark nodded, and he changed his previous careless attitude and said quite seriously.
"In order to ensure the future supply of materials and for the safety of our allies, the Federation and the Supervisors have discussed and decided that the four of you can take over the positions of Pietro and Kara and be stationed in that universe.
Your mission is to stay in Gotham City in that universe after taking over the duties of Pietro, Kara and others, and keep in touch with the wasteland.
Once there are signs that Darkseid is about to attack, report immediately and prepare for all responses. While cooperating with the heroes of the Justice Association to defend, hold on and wait for the support of the heroes of the wasteland."
