Chapter 188
As soon as he was free, he was caught off guard by Peggy.The news that Carter is at stake, it has to be said, makes Bruce feel guilty and guilty for ignoring this lady.
Although he knew very well in his heart, even if he paid attention to Peggy's situation, it would not be of much use.
The deterioration of the body caused by this kind of time is independent of human will, at least the current scientific level cannot do it.
Even though Bruce watched the tiny changes in every parameter on the instruments that kept Peggy alive, he couldn't do anything except accompany and wait, watching Peggy's body deteriorate further until she reached the end of her life .
But there is a general human mentality that creates a delusion that things might be different now if I had known, if I hadn't ignored this change.
Bruce tried his best to suppress his guilt.He to Peggy.Carter has always had great respect, he respects every war hero, and this lady once had a relationship with him.
With little thought, he decided to visit Peggy.
Alfred agrees with his decision, and even though the way he expresses his approval is always veiled, Bruce still detects a sufficient amount of relief in it.
The loyal old butler selected and arranged clothes for him, and warned him to "dress like a gentleman, I hope you remember the etiquette." Bruce responded indiscriminately while smoothing his neckline in front of the mirror. From the corner of the mirror, he saw Dick looked curiously in his direction.
He suddenly had an idea, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was very good.
"Dick, you come with me," Bruce said. "You can't go into the ward, it's not an appropriate occasion for you. You can wait for me outside the hospital while I visit Ms. Carter. When it's over, I may I have time to take you around the metropolis."
"Really?" Dick's eyes lit up, and he couldn't hide his excitement at all, "I'll go change immediately!"
In the end he put on a schoolboy waistcoat, and his black round-toed shoes were polished to a shine.
Sure enough, Bruce didn't take him into the hospital. He thought the atmosphere here was not suitable for the young Dick, and selectively ignored that Dick was not the kind of innocent little boy at all, but witnessed his parents falling to death. The fact that Robin, who followed Batman to fight crime at night in Gotham City, was in front of him.
But Dick is still running in with his new relatives, and he doesn't seem to be so rebellious about Bruce's one-sidedness and strong desire to control-he is still a child after all.
And he's a very sensible kid.
It is not difficult for him to obey his elders.
He circled on the lawn outside the hospital, kicking his calves boredly, stepping forward on the gap between the bricks and stones.The place is wide enough that he can't get lost anyway.
"Hey." Then he heard a young voice, sweet and lilting and slightly husky, "what are you doing here, kid? Are you here all alone? Is no one watching you?"
"Bruce is in the hospital, and I'm here to wait for him." Dick said reflexively, "He'll be out in a while, and I can take care of myself."
He raised his head, stopped naturally, and saw the man sitting cross-legged on the lawn directly in front of him.
The distance between them was already quite close. In fact, Dick could have kicked the man's calf with two or three more steps, but Dick was too focused on the gap between the masonry and ignored the front when he buried his head forward.
This guy just appeared out of nowhere, and Dick didn't even notice him coming.
This is not right, very wrong.
Dick's senses were very keen, although he never boasted, but his career in the acrobatic troupe, those experiences of swinging in mid-air on a few ropes trained his meticulous observation and extremely fast thinking speed, he was familiar with The sound of wind, breathing and footsteps, but this man didn't even notice it when he was sitting there.
"Hello." He was sitting on the ground, so he had to tilt his head slightly to meet Dick's eyes. "You can call me Carl."
Dick knew immediately who he was.
Carl.Al, the "brother" that Bruce has publicly acknowledged, the Bruce that the public defaults to.Wayne's best friend.
Dick knew Carl before he was adopted, and that was no surprise, if there was anyone in the world who didn't know Carl.Al is weird.
But at that time, his impression of Carl was only "a rich man". After being adopted by Bruce, he checked the information related to Carl out of curiosity about Bruce.
In addition to his secretive childhood and adolescence, the experience of his parents dying not long after he became an adult, and his adoptive brother who was tough and took on the heavy responsibility of the Ayer Group, what impressed Dick most was Carl's handsome face. faces.
Now the face was facing him, with a sweet, curious smile.
"Hi, hello." Dick was nervous for a moment, but he quickly reflected and introduced himself calmly, "My name is Dick Grayson, and I'm the adopted son of Bruce Wayne."
"I know. I haven't met you, but I have a picture of you, my brother gave it to me." Carl said, blinking slightly.
This action shows a kind of liveliness that doesn't match his age, but a person with such a face and smile seems to be doing everything properly.
Dick is indeed young, but he already has his own ideas.
Just like the first time he saw Superman falling from the sky with a baby in his arms on TV, he sincerely began to worship that powerful hero. He was sure that he liked Carl.Al.
"Are you here to see Ms. Carter, too?"
Dick put on a bright smile and sat down beside Carl.
Outside Peggy's ward, Tony and Bruce each occupied half of the lounge.
They just greeted each other with a smile on their faces when they first saw each other, and then they each stood aside and stood in place without saying a word, silently, showing a tendency to fight against the other person.
The half of the lounge that Tony occupied also included a Winter Soldier who was out of shape the whole time.
The rough appearance made by the Winter Soldier couldn't hide Bruce's tricky eyes. When he first entered the door, Bruce quickly recognized him, but he didn't show his surprise. He didn't seem to know the silent and straight man in the corner The man in front of him is like a World War II hero who has been dead for decades, standing in place with a calm demeanor.
Being able to act so calm is largely due to the fact that he has already experienced the mental shock of "the living Captain America is standing in front of me" before entering the door.
Steven was aware of Bruce's approach, but his thoughts were confused, he was not in the mood to pay attention to Bruce's overwhelming inner activities, and he didn't even want to take a look around him.
He just watched Peggy, thinking about the good times they had, and the love that was born in bullets and blood.
Bruce didn't bother Captain America.
After standing behind this man who had been promoted by the government as a national hero for half a minute, he looked at him out of the corner of his eye as much as possible, then quietly exited the visiting room and entered the waiting room.
Tony.Stark is also here, not beyond his expectations. According to the public World War II information, Peggy and Howard are very good friends. Tony was also taken care of by her when he was young. When this lady who is not an elder is better than an elder is dying He will definitely come to visit on this occasion, and Bruce can be sure that the other party will find a way to organize Peggy's funeral by himself.
The only strange thing is that Carl is not there... Before he set off, he made sure that Carl's helicopter landed on the roof of Stark's company building. It makes no sense that Carl didn't come with Tony.
Just thinking about Carl gives Bruce a headache.
He really didn't have much experience with normal people. Although Carl's reaction after getting angry didn't seem to be particularly normal. Compared with his peers, he seemed very naive, but that was the normal reaction of a naive normal person after all.
Instead of being like his past "friends", when there is a dispute, the other party will slap him in a slap in a rage, and then Bruce can take advantage of the situation and go back and forth with the other party for a few tricks. Both mercilessly killed each other, but the two were still "friends" after the fight.
Now Bruce would rather have a fight with Carl, he can lose to Carl, and then they can shake hands and make up.
"Don't think about it." Tony said abruptly, "Karl just went out, before your front foot entered the door."
Bruce put on a social smile: "I see."
"Stop laughing, Wayne, it's disgusting." Tony didn't give Bruce any face, his tone was full of gloating and malicious intentions, "I'll tell you, Carl was really angry this time. Didn't make him mad like that - you're screwed, Wayne, absolutely."
After Tony said that, Bruce also put away his smiling face.
"Don't bother yourself, Mr. Stark." He gritted his teeth and suppressed the urge to slap Tony on the face, "We will handle the matter between me and Carl, and you should be more worried about yourself than me. Bar."
"I have nothing to worry about."
Tony didn't know that Bruce's playboy was just a disguise on the surface, and he didn't know what he did in Afghanistan in his steel suit, including the reaction of the US military to "Iron Man" was monitored by Bruce. under.
As a matter of course, Bruce's warning was regarded as a kind of unforgiving action by him.
Carl on the lawn is still talking to Dick.
"Bruce is very difficult to get along with. If you want to say that he has a low EQ, that's not the case at all. He obviously understands this." Carl said to Dick, "I think he is very good and very bad. Be friends with him very tired."
Over their heads, a helicopter passed lightly, casting a bird-like shadow.
