Chapter 189
Carl looked up at the helicopter as it flew by, and he didn't look down until it disappeared and landed, disappearing into the sparse buildings of the hospital.
"Here's Lexie," he said to Dick.
Lex.Luther, Dick knows, he is hailed as the best entrepreneur of the new generation, and his reputation is almost as good as that of Howard when he was young.Stark competed, and considering Howard's fiery temper in his youth, his personal reputation seemed to be even better.
Like Bruce, Tony and others, he is a good friend of Carl.
But he is not the same as Carl's other friends. According to the information Dick has seen in the bat computer, there seems to be more than friendship between him and Carl.
However, there is no actual evidence to prove that such a relationship beyond friendship actually exists.
"I know him, Carl." In the past few minutes, Dick and Carl have called each other by their first names. "I just didn't expect him to come. There seems to be no friendship between Ms. Carter and Mr. Luthor."
Those who can have friendship with Peggy are almost all the fathers of Carl's generation, and even the fathers of the fathers, Howard.Stark and Peggy are good friends, Bruce's father Thomas.Wayne was also protected by Peggy because of his special status, and Lex's father, who has always been unknown because of Lex's secretive attitude, has nothing to do with Peggy.
"He didn't come here because of Ms. Carter, he came here because I was here." Carl shrugged, "Wait, I bet he must have seen us on the plane."
"Wow," Dick couldn't help but say, "You two are really close."
Carl looks at Dick for a moment and gives an "I know what you're trying to say" smile.
"You guessed it," he said casually, "Lexie is my boyfriend."
Leaving aside how much excitement this news brought to Dick, the eight-year-old first-generation Robin, future Nightwing, and the owner of Gotham City's first beautiful buttocks, Lex refused the guidance of the medical staff at the airport. Leaving the driver behind, he walked to the lawn alone.
He didn't come out with Mercy, which was rare.
Learn a little about Lex.Everyone in Luther knows that this young entrepreneur has always been inseparable from his female secretary, and given that Moxie has an excellent appearance, this inseparability undoubtedly has an ambiguous color in the eyes of outsiders .
Of course, it is absolutely impossible for Lex to have anything to do with Moxie. In Lex's eyes, Moxie is an obedient puppy (puppy), and in Moxie's eyes, the boss is... the boss.
They were always together simply because Mercy wore multiple hats, secretary, driver and bodyguard, the last role in particular requiring Mercy to be with Lex at all times.
Mercy didn't come with her today, she had more important tasks to complete besides keeping Lex safe.
She complained a little about the boss's arrangement, but Lex calmed her down with one sentence.
"Don't worry, Mercy," he said, in a cryptic tone. "You have to have faith in Ms. Carter's importance. There's no way the authorities won't have soldiers outside her ward."
That's what worries me, Mercy thought.
According to the degree of chaos in the military and politics of the US Empire, if there were no such arrangements, maybe the hospital would be safer.
"Not only that, the Starks, Bruce Wayne, they are all visiting the critically ill Ms. Carter in the hospital." Lex said, "The heavyweights are all on the scene...not to mention Karl is also there."
"When was the last time we got together? Time changes so fast, we're all different from the last time we got together, everyone's changed, only Carl is the same...I'm afraid during this time That hospital is the safest place in the whole world, Mercy."
And now, Lex found Carl on the lawn beside the hospital.
He sat with a boy who was several sizes smaller than him, shoulder to shoulder, their chatting and laughing faintly drifting along the wind, Dick looked at Carl with bright eyes, and Carl lowered his head, looking at the little boy. The boy smiled fondly.
There was something in that smile that didn't belong to Karl.Al stuff.
There was a slight pause in Lex's footsteps, and then firmly, he moved towards them.
"Hey, Lexie, we were talking about you." Carl heard the sound of leather shoes rubbing against the grass, and looked back with a smile. "Come here, Lexie—no, it's not my side, it's Dick's side .Sit down with us, Lexi."
Lex was wearing a black suit, the kind of clothing that was fine for visiting the sick but not so good for sitting on the lawn.
But he didn't hesitate when he sat cross-legged like Carl and Dick.
"Who is this, Honey? Don't tell me you have an extra son after not seeing you for a few days," he said.
This is not nonsense. Carl has black hair and blue eyes, and Dick has black hair and blue eyes. Although there are differences between black and black, and blue eyes and blue eyes, the expressions of both of them are so bright and cheerful. , so the small difference appears very insignificant.
"I'm Dick Grayson, Mr. Luthor."
Before Carl could speak, Dick answered the question himself.
His blue eyes flickered for a moment, and he seemed to be looking at Lex sheepishly.
Pretending, of course, it doesn’t make sense. When I was able to run steadily, I learned to do somersaults. As soon as I could walk, I performed with my parents on the stage—although it was only dressed up as a cute decoration—— Acrobats can be shy and stage frightened.
This little trick couldn’t fool Lex, just as he opened his mouth to say something, Carl raised his arm to wrap his arms around his shoulders and lead him towards him with a smile.
Dick, who was squeezed between them, was also hugged.
"You and I, and a little boy." Carl's voice revealed an extremely pure joy, "Lexie, don't we look like a beautiful family of three?"
After being caught off guard, Dick subconsciously raised his head to look at Carl, and upon hearing this, he immediately turned his head to look at Lex.
Above his head, his new best friends Carl and Lex stared at each other.
Dick thought hey, I'm still here, and you started to show your affection?
But don't say it... It really feels like the parents are still there. The loving couple was always like this when they were still alive, ignoring their own existence and showing their love like no one else.
And in the back of Carl's pupils, Lex had completely forgotten what he wanted to say.
The atmosphere outside was very good. Even Dick, who didn't like Lex very much, developed a little affection for Lex for some subtle reasons. Outside Peggy's ward, Tony and Bruce were still deadlocked.
The two don't like each other—a big reason is that the labels they display are too similar.
Both playboys, both young billionaires, both philanthropists, both parents dead, both young masters, all geniuses (Bruce is not as good as Tony in this respect, but as Wayne's heir, he also has a A degree that is beautiful enough to be impressive), and people who are too similar are either close friends, or they are not pleasing to the eye no matter how they look at each other.
So far it looks like Bruce and Tony are the latter.
Bruce's dislike for Tony fluctuates somewhat, a graph that fluctuates around a slowly descending straight line.
When we first met, Bruce was disgusted by Tony's unrestrained speech, and that was the time when he hated Tony the most.
Because of the death of Tony's parents in a car accident, the little sympathy he felt for Tony made his impression of Tony a lot better, but later it was proved that the Howards didn't die at all, and the little sympathy flew to the sky, and Tony's unruly style was restored. Make him hate this spoiled guy.
The last is now.
Knowing what Tony experienced in the Afghan incident, knowing the changes he made after experiencing those incidents, and even knowing that Tony is considering closing Stark's weapons manufacturing company-I have to say that Bruce's feelings for Tony It picked up quite a bit for this.
But he still hates Tony.This time, Stark, the distaste is almost gratuitous.
Probably because of Tony.In Stark's temperament that people are born to love and hate, he can only fully feel the reason for the latter.
On the contrary, Tony's sensual curve for Bruce is extremely firm, it is completely a straight line meaning "nasty", neither rising nor falling, and maintaining a high degree of consistency from beginning to end.
They exchanged a few words and then shut up because Steven entered the room.
Captain America looks very tired, not physically but mentally.
No one present has seen this scene before. In any picture or video related to Captain America, no matter how tired the captain actually is, how much the body is under load, no matter how tattered and dirty his clothes are, His spirit is always full and his temperament is high. In the black and white photos, his eyes are also shining, wide and peaceful, just like the blue sky.
Steven also realized that his state made bystanders uncomfortable. He raised his head, glanced at the Winter Soldier standing in the corner who didn't look at him at all, and turned his eyes back to Bruce and Tony.
"...Sorry." He whispered, "I showed you a joke."
"We can understand, Captain." Bruce said immediately, "So many years have passed since the era you are familiar with, and the comrades-in-arms have either passed away or are lying in the hospital bed with uncertainties. When encountering such a situation, anyone will be frustrated and lost."
"Even the noble and perfect war hero Captain America." Tony has the ability to put such a sentence in a weird way, "By the way, by the way, you are no longer the 'most noble and perfect hero'. How does it feel to be suppressed?"
Steven looked at him, silent for a moment.
"It's time for Captain America to retire," he said.
