Chapter 2167: Battle of Two Cities! (IX)
The vision was pitch black, and hazy memory fragments kept flashing in front of his eyes. He tried hard to wake up and control his limbs, but found that his whole body was stiff and paralyzed.
When he opened his eyes, Bruce saw two faces, one of which he was very familiar with, that was Peter Parker.
The other face was older and more gentle than Peter, wearing a suit and tie, and wearing silver-rimmed glasses. The only problem was that his eyes were not focused, a bit like a blind person.
Bruce wanted to move, but he couldn't move at all. He was in great pain all over his body. The strange numbness made him unable to open his mouth. He could only freeze in place and listen to the two people talking.
"Did I hear it right?" Peter said: "He tried to catch Electro with his hands, and then he was electrocuted?"
The other man nodded.
"I have a question." Peter's voice could be called helpless. He said: "First of all, how could Electro be caught up by him?"
Peter's implication was very clear. How on earth could Electro be caught up by someone who could catch Electro with his bare hands?
So the Electro that he had been dealing with for so many years was a fake Electro, or was it that Electro's feet were off the ground, the virus was turned off, and his IQ was not going up?
"Iron Man cut off the electricity on that street." The man with glasses replied: "And he seemed to manipulate some power storage equipment to carry out an electric current shock, forcing Electro out of the circuit."
Peter could imagine the next scene. After Electro was forced to leave the circuit, he needed to readjust his physical state before he could turn into Electro again, which means that this skill has a certain cooling time.
The Electro being chased by Stark could not stand there and wait for the cooling to turn over. He must have thought of an escape route before being forced out, and ran away after landing.
But there was Bruce chasing behind Electro. When he saw Electro leaving the circuit, he rushed over without thinking.
Electro's active skill was cooled, but he also had a passive skill. Even in human form, he was electrified all over. Bruce was not wearing an insulating suit, so he experienced the fate of an Internet-addicted teenager on the spot and was clearly electrocuted.
Stark flew down to make trouble for Bruce, but was stopped by Daredevil. Of course Stark wanted to take action, but Captain America and the agents chasing him were not vegetarians.
White Can has been wanted by SHIELD. He is now a fugitive. If he is caught by Captain America, he will suffer. The other one is still in the system and constantly competes with him for the control of the mecha. Between internal and external troubles, White Can can only choose to retreat strategically.
Then Daredevil Matt picked Bruce back, and after some inspection, he found Bruce's abnormality and hurriedly called Peter over.
"...That's what happened." Peter explained his experience to Matt, took out a small bottle of spider silk raw materials from his arms, put it on the table, and sighed, "I don't know how to say it. I have never seen such a Batman."
"What should Batman usually be like?" Matt asked curiously. He had heard Spider-Man mention it once before, but he didn't explain it in detail.
"Completely the opposite of him." Peter frowned, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Before, I thought that Batman's character, who has plans for everything, is rigorous enough, but also a little paranoid. Now it seems that it is better to be a little paranoid."
Matt's view is more mature than Peter's. He said, "Peter, I know the situation was urgent and you had to do this, but have you ever thought that Bruce Wayne, who has obtained Spider-Man's ability, is not lacking the power of the engine."
Peter looked at Matt, and Matt looked at Bruce.
Now he only has an engine, no steering wheel, no wheels, no brakes and accelerators. He has gained great power, but he has no mind, skills and willpower to match it.
Peter also began to have a headache because he knew that what Matt said was right.
It was not until today that he realized that he could become Spider-Man not entirely because he had superpowers. Peter Parker always thought he was mediocre, but now he realized that he was extraordinary from the beginning.
Think about it, after gaining powerful power, there are still several levels for him to pass.
It is difficult for a weak person who is bullied to suddenly gain powerful strength and restrain the sudden burst of desire. Not even one out of ten people can stick to basic morality, let alone continue to be considerate and kind.
Even if morality is maintained, it will always become more and more daring because of the convenience of power. The more developed the muscles, the more the brain shrinks, and finally loses most of the rationality and becomes a beast that only relies on force.
Even if there is both morality and rationality, there must be enough wisdom so that the brain can fully mobilize all its strength in an emergency to achieve the best result, rather than thinking for a long time and choosing the worst one among many ways.
Even if morality, rationality and wisdom are sufficient, there must be a rich knowledge reserve, well-trained skills, sufficient experience, and even some luck that is difficult to explain.
Only when all these things are added together can a superhero be born, but with these things, how many people will be satisfied with being Spider-Man?
They will only think that if I have these things, I will be able to save the world more quickly and perfectly. I must do it in one fell swoop, once and for all, take the right path from the beginning, and then run all the way to the end to get everything I want.
The most essential sin of human beings is arrogance. Peter thought, perhaps from the beginning, the biggest difference between him and ordinary people is that he is always more humble than ordinary people.
Bruce woke up and tried to sit up with difficulty. Matt reached out to help him.
Bruce coughed twice to spit out the air in his throat, but his chest was still stuffy.
He turned his head to the wall, and his eyes turned away, showing a resistance attitude, not because he lost face, he just couldn't understand why others could do things easily, but he would go through many twists and turns and finally couldn't get the desired results.
Why is it so unfair? All other Batmans and Spider-Mans are good, but he doesn't act like Batman when he's Batman, and doesn't act like Spider-Man when he's Spider-Man.
This is not a problem with Batman or Spider-Man, but his own problem.
But what's wrong with him?
Bruce couldn't figure it out.
Peter walked over to sit next to him, supporting his upper body, Matt handed over a water cup, Peter fed Bruce some water, the clear and cold water flowed over his dry lips, making him feel better.
"Don't be too anxious, Bruce." Peter put down the water cup, untied the spider silk launcher on Bruce's wrist, put the raw materials of spider silk in, and said: "The greater the ideal, the greater the responsibility, but if you want too much, you will think too much, which will make you too anxious and lose the most basic judgment."
"What should I want?"
"Don't try to start by saving two cities, boy." Matt said, he knocked on the wall beside Bruce's legs with his blind stick and said: "If you set the goal so big, you will just be like a headless fly, chasing this and that, and in the end you can't catch up with anyone."
"Answer me, Bruce, don't you want to spend your life for this huge goal? If you are willing, why rush at this moment? Let's set the goal more realistically."
In the gap of this conversation, Bruce found that he at least had one advantage, that is, when the other party was far stronger than himself, he could still listen to the advice.
Although he was discouraged by his several failures, he was also like an ordinary person, accustomed to failure, and could find some decent reasons to comfort himself after failure.
"So what should I do now?" Bruce looked at Peter, asking what Peter would do if he were Peter now.
"Stop Captain America." Peter answered, he grabbed Bruce's arm and said, "The reason why you failed this time is not because of your judgment to chase Electro, but because Stark interfered and disrupted your pursuit rhythm."
"You have to go to Captain America and ask him to talk to Stark, and the same goes for SHIELD."
"Go tell them that their target is Tony Stark, and now the chaos in the city and the evil six are all in your hands. You have to drive them away from each other so that they will not hinder each other and interfere with each other."
Bruce suddenly realized.
His previous thinking has always been to chase criminals when he sees them, hide when there is danger, and catch them as soon as possible.
But in fact, there are two things happening in the city now. Captain America and SHIELD are arresting the fugitive Stark, and Bruce wants to stop the evil six from making trouble everywhere.
These two things can be dealt with individually, but if they are crossed together, accidents are likely to occur frequently. If White Can hadn't suddenly forced Electro out and let Bruce fight him slowly, Electro, who had not fully charged, might not be Bruce's opponent with Spider-Man's ability.
Thinking of this, Bruce became depressed again. Why didn't he notice it before? Why is it so easy for others to think of the answer, but his mind is in chaos? And it is foreseeable that the chaos will continue.
"Don't be discouraged, you are not alone anymore." Peter pressed Bruce's arm, looked into his eyes and said, "Believe me, this is not the desperate Gotham, we will not let heroes fight alone."
"I'll call Steve and Nick." Matt turned to touch his mobile phone and said, "Tell them that there is a rookie who needs plenty of space to train."
Then he took out a portable communication device from the drawer and threw it to Peter. Peter put it on Bruce's wrist and put the earphone end in his ear.
"I have to help other heroes." Peter stood up and looked at Bruce and said, "But you can call me if you have any problems. We are a team, right?"
Bruce hesitated, but nodded.
Just as Peter turned to leave, Bruce stopped him, coughed twice, and told Peter a number and said.
"This is Fox's phone number from Wayne Group's technical department. He has the authority to call the laboratory. You can go to Wayne's laboratory. There are equipment you can use, but be careful not to be discovered by shareholders."
Peter smiled at him standing by the door. Now he thinks that this kind of Batman is not bad.
Without the battle power list, there is less exposure. Voting family members
