Superman of the American Comics

Chapter 396 Falling into Metropolis, Subject Zero

"I must admit that since the last time, two months ago, you refused to join the government, I have not expected to receive a call from you."

As soon as the cyborg saw Batman, he uttered this ambiguous opening remark.

Frankly speaking, if one ignores the fact that the cyborg is a big black man with a height of more than two meters, two-thirds of his body is flesh and blood, and all metal parts are covered.

Judging from the above words, Barry may feel that Dr. Wayne has some ulterior secret love affair.

Just like his son, Bruce Wayne.

Privately known throughout the Justice League, Batman has tangled affairs with Gotham's criminal Catwoman and ninja master Ray Shogu's daughter Talia.

Wonder Woman and Aquaman even made a bet on this, and Barry also participated at the time, and the bet was two days' breakfast money.

After Superman made the statement "I don't think Bruce will ever get married in his life", he remained silent.

Barry is more optimistic about Catwoman. He thinks that the female thief who also likes to come out at night is quite suitable for Batman's work schedule.

Unexpectedly, the former remained silent and even had a son with Master Ninja's daughter Talia.

This made Barry lose the bet, and for two days in a row, he could only eat sandwiches and instant coffee in the laboratory.

"Victor, you look taller and stronger."

Barry restrained his scattered thoughts.

This is the case with speedsters. Their brains work too fast, and it is easy to think too much.

Most people can't keep up with the rhythm when chatting with them.

That's why he is like a chatterbox, every time he encounters an enemy, he starts chattering to himself.

"do we know each other?"

The cyborg looked suspiciously at the raw face in red uniform with a lightning bolt on his chest.

Batman has always disliked forming a team and is used to fighting alone. When did he have two newcomers around him?

Looking past The Flash, the cyborg's eyes moved to the silent Luke.

Compared with humans and animals, Barry Allen is harmless and not aggressive at all.

The first feeling of the latter is that it is indestructible and powerful.

Just standing there is oppressive.

This could be the passive aura from Man of Steel.

"I don't know, you've never met before."

Luke hooked Barry's shoulders to stop the guy from talking about old times.

"He's... a newcomer to Gotham, with super speed, called The Flash."

The cyborg had a weird expression on his face, but he didn't take it to heart. His focus was only on Batman.

"You asked me to come, you don't want to introduce two newcomers, and then talk about old times?"

The cyborg looked at the silent Thomas Wayne. As superheroes and super criminals became more and more active, the government needed a strong supervision department.

In his opinion, no one is more suitable for this role than Batman.

Make a plan without omission, and never mix any personal feelings, and always maintain a clear view of the overall situation...

Of all the superheroes I know, only Batman can complete the above requirements.

"Do you still lack a think tank position in your team?"

Thomas Wayne glanced at Luke and Barry, explaining his purpose.

"I can join and I can help."

"really?"

The dark face of the cyborg showed a look of shock without any concealment.

How could Batman change his mind?

This is really surprising!

"but--"

Thomas Wayne admired the cyborg's display of emotion for a few seconds before uttering the obnoxious word.

"Build the team the way I think, the way I do, and I pick the soldiers."

The cyborg narrowed his eyes, and he seemed to understand what Batman meant.

Then, he looked at the two newcomers next to each other.

Is this about forming a team?

"no problem."

The cyborg nodded in agreement.

All he needs is Batman's mind and his charisma.

The Dark Knight of Gotham actually has a high reputation among superheroes and super criminals.

Win over the other party, you can save a lot of effort in doing things in the future.

Why Do Super Criminals Worship Batman?

This is easy to understand.

Just like the Joker, Riddler, Two-faced Man, Penguin... and other Gotham villains, they are all members of the Batman fan club.

These super criminals are keen to match wits with Batman every day, design each other, and then be imprisoned in Arkham Asylum for a vacation.

This is the joy of life!

If Gotham is without Batman, those villains will probably be bored and want to move soon.

Those guys hate Batman on the one hand, but on the other hand they have to admire this guy.

"So, starting with The Flash and... Luke, they are the first two members of the team."

Seeing that the cyborg quickly agreed, Batman probably figured it out. This is not the opponent's bottom line, and there is room for further exploration.

"In addition to this, activity funds, logistics personnel, scientific research strength...these are all indispensable."

The cyborg considered for a moment, then nodded as usual.

Anyway, after the establishment of the supervision department, it will be under the jurisdiction of the military, and the funds will also be allocated by the Pentagon.

For them, more than [-] billion military expenditures are spent every year, and adding another [-] million is nothing.

"I can satisfy all your demands on behalf of the government."

The cyborgs are full of confidence. If the crimes of supernatural beings that are rising sharply every year can be curbed, I believe the White House and the Pentagon will not care about spending.

Seeing that a consensus was reached, Luke interjected in a timely manner and asked, "Since I joined the government department, do I have the right to obtain some information?"

"What do you want to know?"

One of the cyborg's eyes flashed red, and various data streams scrolled rapidly.

He is connected to the Pentagon and the data centers of various intelligence agencies, and can read those confidential documents at any time.

"About the 'meteorite' that fell on Metropolis 30 years ago."

Luke is going to drop by to rescue his Kryptonian cousin Kal-El, who has been held by the military since he was a child and has never been in the sun.

According to the image in memory, he was probably the thinnest of all Supermen, without strong muscles, but like a dried rib.

"You're interested in that?"

The cyborg was a little surprised, he glanced at Batman.

"We are now a team, this is not too much to ask."

Thomas Wayne didn't know why Luke was interested in the disaster at Metropolis, but he still gave orders to the cyborgs.

Only Barry's eyes flickered on the side, and he captured key words such as metropolis and meteorite.

"Could it be...Clark!"

Not surprisingly, The Flash thought of Superman.

"Okay, let me search."

The mechanical eye of the cyborg was constantly flashing red light, and the screening was completed in less than half a minute.

"Found it, according to the Pentagon's secret files, it's actually... a spaceship, it was transferred to the underground base of Metropolis, and a team of tens of thousands of people is working on a certain project there - 'Superman plan,' the military calls it."

"Some of the report materials have been destroyed. They seem to have found something else in that spaceship—Experiment No. [-]."

The cyborg did not hide anything, and shared the information it knew.

"Thank you for your help."

Luke smiled and exchanged glances with Barry, and they understood what they meant.

There is no doubt that Superman is very likely to be held in the secret base of Metropolis.

Half an hour later, when the cyborg left, Batman looked at Luke and Barry with sharp eyes.

"Do you two have any other plans? Or, are you going to do something behind my back and the cyborg?"

Thomas Wayne's observation skills are quite keen.

Just through Luke's abnormal question and Barry's expression, they can see their thoughts.

"Uh, Dr. Wayne..."

When the honest Flash faced questioning, he would inevitably become a little flustered, and his speech became hesitant.

"Doctor Wayne, the reason why I found you is actually to find relatives."

Luke is much more mentally sound than Barry, and he talks nonsense in a serious manner.

"I have a cousin who landed on Earth in a spaceship a long time ago."

"Due to space navigation problems, I came here much later than him and lost his whereabouts."

Barry suddenly realized, and made a surprised expression of "I guessed right".

"You are Clark's cousin! I knew that you have the same strong body, the same cloak and battle suit, and heat vision!"

Thomas Wayne sighed, if it wasn't for his son Bruce, he really didn't want to get involved with these two guys.

From the Flash who traveled through time and space, to the aliens who descended on the earth... In just one day, my cognition was constantly refreshed.
