In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 40: The Cat and the Bat (Part 1)
With Bruce lying on the hospital bed, Harvey raised his upper body a bit and poured him a glass of water.
Bruce said with some distress: "She is cloudy and moody, really like a cat. I can't figure her out. Now I am only worried that her irascibility will hurt others. After all, I have everything. Gotham has the best medical resources, but others may not."
"You should be thankful that you didn't have a ruptured kidney. The dagger was very short and only left a very shallow scratch on your internal organs, otherwise you would only have one kidney left now."
Harvey put down the kettle, he said: "When I was in school, I also had a girl I liked, and I was crazy about her. I started a passionate pursuit of her, and one day, when we went on a date, She threw the bottle away on purpose to tease a cleaner."
"At the time I thought, how could she do that? She was so bad, she didn't deserve my liking. But then I thought about it, it was my love for her that made her into A perfect person. In fact, she has always been so bad-tempered, likes to ridicule others, and looks down on anyone in the service industry. She has never changed herself, but because of my strong love, I have infinite expectations for her .”
"When I broke up with her, she thought it was inexplicable. I didn't know it at the time. I really looked like a crazy person. First I pursued her desperately and confessed to her, but suddenly and cleanly proposed to break up. This is a humiliation in anyone's eyes, so she is very angry."
"After thinking about it, this is also normal."
Bruce felt a little ashamed to speak, but he still said: "That girl's problem is much more serious than your ex-girlfriend, and it may hurt others, physically."
"The problem is not here, the problem is that when you knew her and fell in love with her, didn't you know this problem?"
Bruce thought, doesn't he know? He knew it all too well, and he even met Catwoman on her way to commit a crime.
He couldn't help thinking ridiculously, how could he fall in love with a criminal? Or at the scene of her crime?
After Harvey left, Bruce fell asleep from sleepiness.
In the dream, the brilliant lights of the jewelry store illuminated the string of pearl necklaces scattered on the ground, and suddenly all the lights went out, as if everything had returned to the dark alley, only the string of pearl necklaces stood Shines with a faint luster.
Batman has never liked jewelry of any kind, especially anything that shimmers like a real bat.
But all he could think about was the girl with the shiny gem and the sly smile.
In the haze, the luster of pearls in his memory suddenly became less hideous. And at the end of the dream, there is still a group of shadowy bats across the sky.
The next day, when Schiller saw Bruce in the counseling room, he was quite surprised. He looked Bruce up and down and said, "Is your injury healed? Can you walk so soon?
"Actually, it still hurts a little, but it's okay. My internal organs are not seriously injured, and they are almost healed now."
Schiller said: "It seems that you don't have to waste my cup of coffee." He just poured himself a cup of hot coffee, Bruce was a little speechless, and he said, "Give me a glass of water. "
After the two sat down, Bruce said: "Harvey doesn't know my real identity yet, I think it's better not to tell him, but I'm very distressed now, the female thief who gave me a knife appears every day In my dream."
"I'm even a bit hesitant to put on a bat suit now, and once I meet her, I don't know what to say to her."
Schiller never dreamed that the first counseling question Batman opened up to him was Bruce's teenage love troubles.
As we all know, in the comics, Batman and Catwoman are true love. The screenwriters use a lot of pen and ink to describe the love story of the two people. Indeed, a dark knight with **** hatred and a cunning and beautiful criminal, even if this The background of everything is the extremely dark Gotham City, and there will still be a large number of readers who will buy it.
Schiller said: "It seems that Harvey should have enlightened you, but it doesn't seem to be of any use?"
"Harvey is right. I knew she was a thief before I fell in love with her. I even met her when he was robbing the jewelry store. I don't know how I fell in love with a Criminal, this is ridiculous..."
Schiller said: "What do you think caused you to become Batman?"
Bruce thought for a while and said, "A lot of things."
"Then what do you think caused her to become a thief?"
Bruce fell silent.
"So, you are sulking yourself here without knowing anything about a woman's past and family."
"Are you sure you really like him? You don't just want a romantic one-night stand?"
"I haven't even slept with her yet," Bruce said.
"Shall I applaud your innocence?" Schiller said, and then his eyes fell to Bruce's waist, and he said, "She stabbed your kidney before you even slept, I Now I am a little worried about your life."
"You think I should talk to him?" Bruce said.
Schiller sighed and said, "You like that thief. If you don't talk to her, why don't you talk to me? Whoever you like, just go and fall in love with him, understand?"
Schiller said a little helplessly: "Otherwise, what do you think about being in love? Two people have been running around on the roof of Gotham for several days, and they still don't know who the other's parents are. She goes to bed, and she doesn't fall in love with her, she asks three questions, if it were me, I would give you a knife."
Bruce paused and said, "Okay, I'll talk to her."
The next day, Batman caught Catwoman again in a certain exhibition hall. Although he didn't know Catwoman's past and family, he had a good grasp of her habits.
When Catwoman saw him, she cursed secretly, and immediately wanted to run away.
But she didn't run away, Batman grabbed her cape again, Catwoman cursed, took a deep breath, turned her head and said, "Let go of me! You weirdo! Don't let me touch the knife! "
Batman said: "Let's talk."
"What can I talk to you about? Don't hinder me from doing things!"
Ten minutes later, the two came to the roof of the exhibition hall. Catwoman waved her hands helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, my little boy, what do you want to talk about? Tell me the truth? Your I can almost recite that pile of truths."
"No, I just want to hear your story." Batman said.
Catwoman was a little surprised, she was silent for a moment, glanced at the pair of pointed ears on Batman's head, and said, "Look at your aesthetics in clothing, okay."
"...I'm from the slums on the east side, you know, the biggest and messiest one. My mother was an alcoholic, my father was a drug addict, but I was lucky enough not to. I grew up with a madam who She is a retired acrobat who taught me a lot, and of course she has a bad temper, and I was beaten a lot, but luckily I learned the real thing.”
"I ran out when she wanted to sell me to a middle-aged man who smelled bad. I was 12 years old."
"Later there was an orphanage that was meddling and insisted on letting me live there. I said okay, then I'll go. Later, someone there wanted to adopt me, but then I offended the administrator there , he wanted to abuse me, so I stole his diamond necklace and ran out again."
"I know a thief leader, we call her lucky mother, she specially trains little girls like us to steal things for her, I have practiced acrobatics, and I am also good at it, she is her favorite child .”
"But the good times didn't last long. She found the diamond necklace I've been hiding on my body. You know, it's very valuable. It's enough for her to retire. She wants me to hand it over, but I don't want to do that. , so I ran out again."
"Later I met a sister, her name was Maggie, she was very kind to me, but her boyfriend always beat her and wanted to kill her. When he was about to do it, I killed the man , and was wanted. I don't want to hurt my sister, so I have been wandering for a living, but sometimes I make money, and I will send it back."
"That's it, a very ordinary story, not very exciting, I think it should not be as exciting as your life experience, right? Great hero."
Batman seemed a little silent, he said: "Not exciting enough? Isn't it exciting enough?"
Catwoman shook her head, she said: "Oh, I forgot, you are a young master who grew up in a rich area, and the people there should all go to school step by step, right?"
"But not in our area, there are not one or two students on a block, in fact, my mother loves me very much, but she is a bit under alcohol control, she spends more time with cats than me Already."
"My parents don't have much ability to support me in my studies, and my neighbors are like this. It's good enough for one of my parents to be sane, at least they won't starve to death. I've also heard that some Both parents were so drunk that the child climbed onto the stove and was scalded to death.”
"Of course, the growth experience of people like us is similar. If you are lucky, like me, the best way out to learn a craft is to work for gangsters. If you can become a dealer in a casino, That's a really decent job. Maggie's boyfriend is a thug in a casino, and he's so popular that several hostesses posted stickers on him."
"In fact, Lucky Mom is also good to me. She sometimes acts like a real mother. Whenever I steal a lot of jewelry for her, she will praise me and even give me candy. Of course, she I beat and scolded those kids who couldn’t steal anything, but in my opinion, they are just young, and it’s not far from it after a few years of hard work.”
Catwoman spoke intermittently in a relaxed and lively tone, and this kind of life she described was quite interesting.
For example, when she was practicing acrobatics, she fell from the eaves for the first time and hit a person. As a result, the unlucky alcoholic just got a dozen dollars from someone else, and it fell into the hands of Catwoman. With this money, I went to buy food for my mother’s cat ~IndoMTL.com~ and got a kiss from her mother.
Batman has not spoken, he listened quietly, Catwoman stopped talking, she looked at Batman and said: "Okay, okay, I know this story disappointed you, I don't have a rich and wonderful college life, and I don't know what your job search goals are. We are people from two worlds. You rich people should not be interested in this kind of slum life? After all, it sounds dirty and messy. "
Batman said in a low voice: "No, this is the most exciting story I have ever heard."
Catwoman raised her eyebrows and said, "Your mouth is so sweet. I feel a little embarrassed when you boast, but I'm also very happy, because no one is willing to listen to me talking about these things. Maggie's body is not good. It’s great, I can’t go out. When the two of us chat, she prefers to listen to the stories of my shuttle in the rich district, and listen to me telling her about the skirts and necklaces worn by rich ladies.”
Batman asked: "Do you like jewelry that much?"
"I knew you were going to ask this question." Catwoman blinked and said.
"In the beginning, it was just because these jewelry can be exchanged for a better treatment from Lucky Mom, and I didn't want to be beaten."
"But when Lucky Mom asked me for that diamond necklace, I realized that what I actually like is their original luster, not how much they can sell for. When I think that Lucky Mom will take these treasures It hurts my heart if I sell it for money."
"That glamorous sheen, especially in the light of the lights, is the most beautiful thing in this world! My lifelong dream is to have a giant castle filled with all these beautiful gems... ..." Catwoman's tone became lighter and lighter, as if happy bubbles were about to pop out.
