The assessment trip on the second day was indeed much more efficient with Rachel accompanying me.
It has to be said that after Rachel put on the hood, combined with the indifferent expression immersed in half the shadow, the psychological oppression on outsiders was actually stronger than that of Shane.
There is no way, the longer Shane lives peacefully on earth, the more Shane's mentality will move closer to his original consciousness.
The laziness and gentle expression that always seemed to be smiling but not smiling diluted the indifference caused by the blood.
Blue Beetle was unanimously approved at the first inspection station. Although he was indeed immature, he was not a thorn in the side. He was a very hot-blooded and lively young man.
War Eagle Holly at the second stop of inspection.
I have a slight impression of the red-haired Girl and Shane. War Eagle and Dove seem to be a pair of ability names that can be passed down. These two heroic partners often die alone due to certain crises, until the next one who is connected by blood or spiritually matches them takes over.
The Holly recommended by Dove is the new War Eagle, who is not only young but also has a bad temper. The previous Dove obviously does not want to take care of children anymore and is trying to dump the new War Eagle to Justice League.
Shane directly voted it down after he left. After all, he didn't want to take care of the children.
Beast Boy at the third stop, rejected. I don't know if this guy is frightened or nervous. He stutters and speaks unfavorably. He is the kind of character who can't take action.
The fourth stop is Mal·Duncan, a street boxer with no name or Superpowers who dropped out of school very early.
Originally Shane was still wondering how this guy got on the list, but after checking the background information, he found that it was a recommendation from a retired Superhero named Wildcat.
I exchanged a few words with this Mal, and the young man was confused and nervous the whole time.
He only knew that his boxing skills were taught by an old man he met while working in a tavern. He did not know the true identity of the old man, let alone why the Superhero organization came to inspect him.
The whole person was extremely nervous, and he didn't understand everything when asked. However, Shane was still more willing to give this young man a chance. Being nervous was not a mistake.
Once again, he suppressed his body to the level of an ordinary person. After a brief fight with Mal·Duncan, Shane recognized this boy.
"The talent is good, but he lacks more bloody actual combat experience, and he is more obedient and easy to command."
Rachel watched Shane cross Beast Boy with a red cross on the tablet, and put a tick on Mal·Duncan's profile picture.
"I always feel like you are a bit discriminatory against the green-skinned guy."
The last stop they visited was a girl named Lilith Clay.
This girl was not recommended by any Superhero with any provenance, but a letter of recommendation from an invisible rich man named Roland to Justice League.
At first Shane thought that this Roland was really just an ordinary person.
But Cyborg actually reminded him to be a little more decent and careful, and then sent a small part of Roland's relevant information.
"He has made multiple financial donations to United Nations in his own name. He is a great philanthropist and has donated a total of US$278.89 billion to many different children's aid organizations around the world----"
When Shane read this line of words, his eyes were a little blank.
"Not only that, in fact Roland has also provided financial support to more than dozens of Superhero organizations registered with United Nations. However, this part of the information is not convenient for dissemination. I probably estimate that it should exceed tens of billions."
Shane's expression became even more confused. This Roland was a character that he had never heard of before. He was obviously supposed to be an inconspicuous background supporting character in the comics.
But looking at the real world that he has to live in now, with such wealth and size, it always feels like he can hallucinate a huge creature in his breath.
"Has Justice League also accepted his capital injection? Does Batman still need it? Can he agree?"
"Why don't you want a pure donation? Wayne Enterprises's money did not come from the strong wind. It is precisely because of Batman's background that his letter of introduction can appear in Justice League."
Recalling the phone call with Cyborg, Shane and Rachel met Roland and Lilith in a villa in San Francisco Bay Area.
This unassuming rich man is very friendly. There is only one old servant who is not much younger than the rich man at home. He has a pot-bellied image and wears a brown-gray suit. He introduces Lilith, who is sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching TV, to Shane.
"When I found Lilith, she was still living on the streets."
Roland whispered to Shane and Rachel who were sitting in the living room, and waved to the servant to bring them two cups of tea.
Shane listened casually to the old rich man's introduction to Lilith's origins. The hand under the table gently squeezed Rachel's palm.
Rachel tapped his index finger twice in response.
This is the secret code Shane agreed with Rachel before entering this villa. Rachel is telling him that this Roland is indeed a good person, at least from a soul level.
"I took her in temporarily, and then Lilith told me that she ran away from an adoptive family because she wanted to find her biological parents."
"I originally wanted to contact her and send her back, but Lilith was unwilling to return to that family. She said that family was not friendly to her."
"Later, in order to pay my rent, Lilith used her ability to predict the future and helped me point out the plight of some properties under my name, even though I never asked for it."
Roland seemed to have a helpless smile on his face when he said this.
"I am old and am not as sensitive to business as when I was young. Lilith's prediction helped me avoid the loss of more than five billion US dollars. Although this did not break my bones, I realized that her ability is so powerful - I think it may be used in a more appropriate place."
"Justice League is the most powerful Superhero organization I can contact through United Nations. I think she may be able to get better guidance."
Shane nodded. Through Cyborg's transmission and Roland's description, he roughly understood that this Girl named Lilith was probably a Metahumans who had naturally awakened Superpowers in the wild.
And the ability to predict the future is indeed amazing. As long as Girl himself has no special personality problems, it is indeed in line with Shane's requirements for Teen Titans as a member.
"Can I have a few words with her?"
Shane asked Roland.
But Lilith seemed to have expected it. When Shane finished speaking, he was already standing barefoot on the floor behind Shane.
"What do you want to ask?"
Roland also spoke at such a perfect time.
"I have always believed that choice is a two-way street. Lilith can not only predict the future, but also carry out Telepathy to a certain extent. As long as Lilith is willing, I will be very happy that she can find the right place."
Shane doesn't have any extra emotions, at least Roland can say so, which proves that this old rich man is not only kind-hearted, but also clear-headed and will not blindly hand over his trust.
He turned around and looked at Girl, who had blond hair and was wearing a green nightgown.
"Everything I want to ask is already in my mind."
Lilith stared at Shane for a while, then glanced at Rachel, with a little embarrassment on his face.
"I can't Telepathy you, including the person next to you."
This is not surprising, Shane's soul was fused with his body, and Rachel is good at Soul Magic.
With Telepathy's ability, Martian Manhunter, one of the best on earth, needs direct physical contact to be able to read some of Shane's thoughts.
Lilith is probably not that powerful. After all, Shane has not only never heard of Roland's name, but he also has no impression of Lilith.
"So what about your prediction of the future? Did it tell you how to make choices today?"
This time Lilith fell into silence for a long time.
She first looked at Shane blankly for dozens of seconds, until Rachel's eyes gradually became sharper, and then she turned to look with some nostalgia at the old rich man who was looking at them with a smile on the other side of the table.
"For some reasons, I cannot reveal too much, but you will be a very responsible Instructor and team leader. I am willing to join Teen Titans."
