"I must admit that since the last time, two months ago, when you refused to join the government service, I did not expect to receive a call from you again."
As soon as Cyborg saw Batman, he said this ambiguous opening statement.
Frankly speaking, if you ignore that Cyborg is a big black man over two meters tall, two-thirds of his body is flesh and blood, and is covered with metal parts.
Judging from the above words alone, Barry may feel that Dr. Wayne has some ulterior secret love affair.
Just like his sons, Bruce-Wayne.
Everyone in Justice League knows privately that Batman and Gotham's criminal Catwoman, as well as Ra's al Ghul Ra's al Ghul's daughter Talia, have an entangled and ambiguous relationship.
Wonder Woman and Aquaman also made a bet about this. Barry also participated at the time. The bet was two days' breakfast money.
Superman remained silent after expressing his opinion, "I think Bruce will never get married in this life."
Barry is more optimistic about Catwoman. He thinks that the female thief who also likes to stay out at night is very suitable for Batman's work schedule.
Unexpectedly, the former kept silent and even had a son with Talia, Ra's al Ghul's daughter.
This made Barry lose the bet, and he could only have sandwiches and instant coffee from the laboratory for two days in a row.
"Victor, you look taller and stronger."
Barry Converge your divergent thoughts.
That's what speedsters are like, their brains work too fast and it's easy to think too much.
Most people can't keep up with the rhythm when chatting with him.
Therefore, he is like a chatterbox, starting to chatter to himself every time he encounters an enemy.
"Do we know each other?"
Cyborg looked at the unfamiliar face in front of him who was wearing a red uniform and had a lightning bolt on his chest with doubtful eyes.
Batman has never liked forming a team. He is used to fighting alone. When did he have two newcomers around him?
His eyes passed over Flash, and Cyborg's eyes moved to Luke who was silent.
Compared to humans and animals, Barry-Allen is harmless and not aggressive at all.
The first impression given by the latter is that it is indestructible and powerful.
It feels very oppressive just standing there naked.
This may be the passive aura brought by Steel Body.
"I don't know him. You've never seen him before."
Luke hooked Barry's shoulder to stop this guy from continuing to reminisce.
"He is... Gotham's new guy, he has super speed, his name is Flash."
Cyborg had a strange expression, but he didn't take it to heart. His focus was only on Batman.
"When you asked me to come, you probably didn't want to introduce two new people and reminisce about old times, right?"
Cyborg looked at the silent Thomas-Wayne. As superheroes and super criminals become more and more active, the government needs a strong regulatory department.
In his opinion, no one is more suitable for this role than Batman.
Make plans without omissions, never mix in any personal feelings, and always keep a clear-eyed view of the overall situation...
Among all the superheroes I know, only Batman can fulfill the above requirements.
"Do you still lack a think-tank position in your team?"
Thomas-Wayne glanced at Luke and Barry and explained his purpose.
"I can join in and I can help."
"Really?"
Cyborg's dark face showed a look of shock without concealing it.
Batman actually changed his mind?
This is really surprising!
"But-"
Thomas-Wayne admired Cyborg's exposed emotions for a few seconds before uttering this annoying word.
"Building the team my way, my way, and me picking the soldiers."
Cyborg narrowed his eyes, and he seemed to understand what Batman meant.
Then, he looked at the two newcomers next to each other.
Do you want to form a team?
"No problem."
Cyborg nodded in agreement.
What he needs is Batman's mind and his appeal.
Gotham's Dark Knight actually has a high reputation among superheroes and super criminals.
Winning over the other person will save you a lot of effort in the future.
Why do super criminals worship Batman?
It's easy to understand.
Just like Joker, Riddler, Two-Face, Penguin... and other Gotham villains, they are all members of the Batman fan group.
These super criminals are keen on fighting Batman every day, scheming with each other, and then being imprisoned in Arkham Asylum for a vacation.
This is the joy of life!
If Gotham disappeared from Batman, those villains would probably get bored and want to move soon.
Those guys hate Batman, but on the other hand they have to admire this guy.
"So, starting from Flash, and... Luke, they are the first two members of the team."
Seeing Cyborg quickly agree, Batman probably figured out that this was not the bottom line of the other party, and there was room for further pursuit.
"In addition, activity funds, logistics personnel, scientific research strength... these cannot be lacking."
Cyborg thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Anyway, the regulatory department after its establishment will be under the jurisdiction of the military, and its funds will be allocated by the Pentagon.
For them, more than 100 billion are spent on military expenditure every year, and adding another 100 million is nothing.
"I can fulfill any request you make on behalf of the government."
Cyborg is very confident. If the number of supernatural crimes that are increasing sharply every year can be curbed, I believe White House and the Pentagon will not care about the expenditure issue.
Seeing that a consensus had been reached, Luke promptly interjected and asked, "Since I have joined the government department, do I have the right to obtain some information?"
"What do you want to know?"
Cyborg One eye Blink is glowing red, and various data streams are scrolling 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 in Metropolis thirty years ago."
Luke is going to rescue his Krypton cousin Carl-Al. That guy has been detained by the military since he was a child and has never seen the sun.
According to the image in my memory, he was probably the thinnest of all Superman. He didn't have strong muscles, but looked like a piece of dried ribs.
"Are you interested in that?"
Cyborg was a little surprised, and he glanced at Batman.
"We are a team now, so this is not too much to ask for."
Thomas-Wayne didn't know why Luke was interested in Metropolis's disaster, but he still gave orders to Cyborg.
Only the Barry eyes on the side were Blink, and he captured keywords such as Metropolis, meteorites, etc.
"Could it be...Clark!"
Not surprisingly, Flash thought of Superman.
"Okay, I'll search it."
Cyborg The mechanical eye kept Blink glowing with red light, and it completed the screening work in less than half a minute.
"Found it. According to the secret file of the Pentagon, it is actually... a spaceship. It was transferred to the underground base of Metropolis, and there is a team of tens of thousands of people working on a certain project there - 'Superman Project', as the military calls it."
"Some of the report information was destroyed. They seemed to have found something else in the spacecraft - Experiment No. 1."
Cyborg did not hide anything and shared the information he knew.
"Thank you for your help."
Luke smiled and exchanged a look with Barry. They understood what they meant.
There is no doubt that Superman is likely to be detained in the secret base of Metropolis.
Half an hour later, when Cyborg left, Batman looked at Luke and Barry with sharp eyes.
"Do you two have any other plans? Or are you planning to do something secretly behind Cyborg and me's back?"
Thomas-Wayne's observation skills are quite keen.
Just through Luke's unusual questions and Barry's expression, we could tell what they were thinking.
"Uh, Dr. Wayne..."
When an honest person Flash faces questioning, he will inevitably become a little flustered and speak hesitantly.
"Dr. Wayne, the reason why I found you is actually to find my relatives."
Luke has a much better psychological quality than Barry. He talks nonsense seriously.
"I have a cousin who took a spaceship and landed on the earth a long time ago."
"Due to space navigation issues, I arrived here much later than him and lost his whereabouts."
Barry suddenly realized it and made a surprised expression of "I guessed it right".
"You are Clark's cousin! I knew you had the same strong body, the same cloak and suit, and Heat Vision!"
Thomas-Wayne sighed. If it weren't for his son Bruce, he really didn't want to get involved with these two guys.
From Flash who traveled through time and space to the aliens who came to the earth... In just one day, my knowledge was constantly refreshed.
