Gotham under the night has become a pot of porridge because of the rampage of the super criminal clown. The whole city is like boiled water. The smoke is everywhere and the plunder is plagued. All the policemen in the city are chaotic as headless flies. Channeling, but the situation has not improved in the slightest.
At the top of the unfinished rotten building, Merlin was standing there, looking at the chaotic city. He hated such chaos, and the sight in front of him made him very, very dissatisfied.
Gotham, the place where people on the East Coast are called the capital of crime, has 3% of people in this ghost place engaged in criminal activities, and the number of super criminals in this city is also the best in the world.
The problem in Gotham City is really complicated, and it is definitely not clear in a sentence or two.
"I thought I had rejected you, Merlin."
Behind Merlin, Bruce handcuffed the comatose clown. His wound had just healed under the healing spell, and walking was still a bit difficult. He said to Merlin:
"I won't join your super circus, I have my things to do."
"your business?"
Merlin pouted, and he said:
"You mean, have you brought your own son, dressed up in your city, put on a cape, and played with the hard-working super criminals?"
"....."
Bruce didn't answer. The two meetings between the two before were disappointed because of this problem. He had a bad fight tonight, no mood, no energy to quarrel with Merlin.
He just wanted this hard night to pass by quickly.
"You see Gotham as your hometown, your own battlefield, you have to stand up and fight for Gotham...but you refuse the help of other superheroes, any foreign heroes will be ousted by you, you think you Can you manage this mess yourself?"
Merlin asked again.
Bruce still didn't answer.
"I know, you treat those who want to help as trouble, you don't want to let them get involved in the bad things of Gotham, you don't want to be a nanny when you fight with super crimes."
"I can understand your thoughts, but my friend, you have also seen that Gotham's situation has broken to the limit."
"You have your own rules and your own bottom line. You don't kill people, you are very restrained, and you are afraid to fall into the abyss of violence."
Merlin turned back and said to Bruce:
"Maybe I should help you, maybe I should plan an action to station the SHIELD hunters in this city, use all the resources at my disposal to clean up the city, maybe I need 3 months, I I think 3 months is enough, what do you say?"
"I don't doubt it."
Bruce replied:
"You have the ability to clean them all up. The power mobilized by SDOLD is not something these super criminals can fight against, but Gotham's problem has never been these super criminals. They are just appearances. The stubborn disease of this city lies deeper ..."
"I know that government officials are corrupt, corruption is overwhelming, the gap between the rich and the poor, the economic decay time after time, the extremely high unemployment rate and so on, these factors will continue to make the originally peaceful people take risks for their lives."
"After responding to the temptation of darkness and getting enough rewards, it will be difficult for them to return to the normal world."
Merlin sighed. He looked at the clown under his feet. He said:
"This is the result of the collapse of order. Gotham has fallen into chaos. Where there is no order, such a terrible person will be born. Your Arkham asylum clearly cannot hold him, I will take him back to the island prison Go, or maybe I killed him here."
Merlin felt the changing expression under Bruce's mask. He shrugged and said with a hint of kindness:
"Of course it's a joke, I'm a public official."
"But, I must get an answer tonight, Bruce."
Raven's tone became serious:
"You should know, Bruce, in the past few years, I have been trying to protect you. I regard you as a benchmark for superheroes. I encourage those new heroes to learn from you, learn your tenacity, learn your reason, Learn your tactics, learn your low-key, but you can't always be so uncooperative with me."
Merlin says:
"People's attitudes toward superheroes are changing. In New York, in other places, one after another civil organizations are established to set some rules for superheroes. As far as I know, Tianyanhui is also promoting this matter. "
"In accordance with this trend, maybe soon, the Super Hero Registration Act I have seen you will be officially recognized."
"This is a good thing, I believe you can understand, and according to Gotham's current situation, your city also urgently needs such an organization to bring together and unite those who are fighting alone and wanting to do good deeds. "
"But this requires your support, or permission, after all, I want to let a group of outsiders enter your ‘hunting ground’, which may make you unhappy.

Merlin patted Bruce's shoulder. He said in a gentle tone:
"You are Gotham's symbol, and it has even become synonymous with Gotham. You fight crime in the dark and protect innocent people. Many people in this city hate you, but more people see you as a true hero. They are also the source of your faith..."
"Bruce, don't be so stubborn, you can't handle the muddy pit of Gotham alone, you need help."
"Just help me, will you?"
Batman was silent for a moment, he looked at Merlin, he said:
"Gotham's situation is very complicated. This is not New York or other places. The trick you played here does not work here. This is a place of sin. Even the villains born here are more than other places. fierce."
"You don't try it, how do you know?"
Merlin says:
"I don’t need you to join Gotham’s Heroes Association. I just need you not to interfere with its operation. I will deal with the rest... The darker the place, the more people need confidence, like Gotham. Ghost place, a Batman is not enough, because you always have the limit, Bruce."
"What if you don't sleep every night, how about fighting 20 crimes in one night?"
"This city is very big, you can't be busy alone. Of course, if the expansion of the Heroes Association fails here, then I will take more effective measures, as I just said, 2,500 fully equipped demon hunting agents , Plus some powerful heroes, the autumn wind swept the leaves and swept away those stubborn diseases."
Merlin reached out to stop Bruce's shoulder, as if they were on a cargo ship at Stark Industries, he said:
"Besides, you also need to rest, Bruce, how long haven’t you had a good night’s sleep? How long have you and Demian ever traveled? How long have you and Talia not... well, I mean, You should take a vacation for yourself."
"Leave this trouble to others to deal with it, after all, the world is not around you."
"I think you came here tonight, definitely not just for this."
Bruce says:
"You just said that you must have an answer..."
"Yes."
Merlin stepped back and said to Bruce:
"Back to the question just now, Bruce, what is your answer about joining the Avengers?"
"I reject."
Bruce replied without hesitation:
"Your idea is terrible. You can save the world by uniting. I have no doubt, because I know how powerful you are. A group of people like you get together. I just tremble.
"A group of the world's most powerful superheroes sounds powerful, but what if you get out of control? If civil war broke out between you? Who will stop you? Who can stop you?"
"I occasionally consider this issue, you know, I am an agent."
Merlin was not angry at Bruce's questioning, he said:
"I'm used to being prepared for any situation, so that's why I have to recruit you after being rejected many times."
"You, like me, always make plans in advance. A team needs such people. We need someone who stays sensible all the time. We need someone who can come up with solutions at any time."
"We need you, Bruce."
"You can do this job too!"
Bruce retorted:
"You are also aware of this problem, you are also working on a plan, and your position in that team is coincident, which is a waste of resources, not to mention, I don’t think I can get the Avengers with my ability. Category. Merlin, I am just a stubborn ordinary person...I am not a superhero."
"But what if I disappear suddenly?"
Merlin suddenly said:
"If one day...I don't exist anymore? By that time, you will be the last guarantee of this powerful and dangerous team. You can stop me when others are about to do bad things."
"You are right, Bruce, I have been thinking about what to do if the Avengers lose control, and finally I finally thought of a final plan."
"You, you are my final plan."
"you..."
Bruce looked at Merlin in surprise, who said softly:
"You know my story, Bruce, no one knows more clearly than you... but you don't know all, I can't tell you, but in the future, who will make it clear in the future?"
Merlin sighed, and in this cold night, in the wind blowing back and forth between the rotten buildings, he said to his best friend:
"Bruce, I have been protecting you. Although you may not appreciate it, if you want to continue your job that requires ideal support, you have been stubbornly unwilling to cooperate with the official to maintain order. One day, in other superheroes After they are legalized, they will send those heroes to deal with you..."
"Because at that time, you were a dangerous factor in order."
"They will even send me to deal with you, Bruce... By that time, I may not refuse. Because of a world where order and freedom are balanced, that is the belief I have been maintaining."
Merlin was very frank and said all his concerns without reservation:
"I don't want things to come to this point, Bruce... So, stop being stubborn, just do me a favor, look at my face, join the Avengers, okay?"
Bruce was silent.
There was a silence in the whole rotten building. A few seconds later, a grand and sharp voice rang behind the two. The comatose clown had just woke up sometime. He sat on the ground in a weird posture. He screamed :
"Don’t agree with him! Batman... he’s just pulling you into that damn, pale, decaying system with rhetoric, he’s turning you from a truly shining treasure into a meaningless stone !"
"Damn it! Don't promise him... You and I are monsters born in chaos. The two monsters should be the best friends. Let your friends exude orderly "smelly smell". !"
The clown stared at Merlin fiercely. He said:
"He is no different from those hypocrites, and I can smell the lies at such a distance."
"He's just more cunning, protecting himself with a layer of orderly disguise. I can smell... smelling the conspiracy of him. He's planning something, something dangerous."
"Huh, the protector of order, it makes me sick to listen to him. Who will bring me some acid tablets!"
Merlin stared at the clown. He took a step and walked to the clown. He crouched down and looked at the scarred guy on both sides of his mouth, who painted his face in mess with white and red paint.
In Icarus's lens, the original cheeks restored from the face modeling of the clown were continuously searched and compared in the database of SHIELD Bureau, and after a while, Merlin suddenly said:
"Arthur... these years, you are getting more and more crazy."
"Who is that?"
The smile on the clown's face remained unchanged. He tilted his head and looked at Merlin. He said:
"Are you calling me? Arthur? What a strange silly name."
"Help me, Arthur."
Merlin put his hand on the clown's shoulder, he said in the clown's ear:
"Batman and I are discussing some important things. He needs time to think, so be quiet, okay?"
"Why should I listen to you?"
The clown pouted:
"We are not familiar yet."
"If you are quiet enough, I will arrange you in a lively place when I choose the cell. I can see that you like lively, right?"
Merlin says:
"Deal?"
"Ok..."
The clown frowned and thought. After a while, he grinned and nodded:
"Okay, deal!"
"OK, all right."
Merlin stood up with a smile, he turned to leave, but suddenly turned back, he said to the clown:
"I almost forgot one thing...Come on, look at my hand, I will perform a magic for you...You like magic, right?"
"Uh"
The white light flashed away, Merlin took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and then in the clown's silly smile, he turned to Bruce, he said:
"My friend, how are you thinking?"
"Do you really think you will disappear in the future? Merlin."
Bruce didn't answer immediately. In the dark bat-like cloak, he was quiet like a sculpture in the dark. He looked at Merlin and he asked:
"Are you not prepared for this?"
"I did."
Merlin chuckled and said:
"But I'm not sure if it will work. I want to win too. Unfortunately, I don't even know how to win..."
"If I can get through it, Bruce, you can quit at any time, but if you and the world forget me one day, then you will perform good duties for me."
"do not talk."
Bruce put his hand on Merlin's shoulder, he said:
"I promise you, I will be the Avengers 006, but I have a request..."
"Before something happens that requires me to come forward, I want to keep it hidden. Only in the dark can I see more things that I can't see in the sun."
"At any time, we have to hide the cards!"
