Chapter 27: Chapter 25
The end of this war was not easy, most people lost their lives fighting for what they were protecting. Whether they were the rebels or the troops of the Superman government, they all fell to the ground. The smell of burning flesh mixed with the strong smell of blood made Mia feel nauseated.
Although she has seen similar scenes more than once - whether it is her universe or this universe, they are not a peaceful place, not just the struggle between people and countries, those villains People often come out to stir up trouble every now and then.
They plant bombs in the city that can sink the entire city to the bottom of the sea to make the superheroes surrender.
Sometimes they will also broadcast their crimes live on the entire network. The kidnapped citizens will face the camera with a forced smile and say the lines that the criminals asked them to say, but often before they finish speaking, the camera will be transferred to the villain. On their faces, they told the heroes who were watching the video with a mocking tone that if they didn't show up at a certain place at a certain time, do something or find something, then those innocent citizens would be killed by them. This kind of thing happens almost every few days in Mia's memory. Occasionally, aliens will even land on the earth and say they want to rule mankind. At that time, Mia even asked for leave from school to watch the whole movie at home. Live news broadcast of the incident.
But even so, those things are still like clouds in the sky to her. Although she knows the existence of those things and has seen related videos and reports on the news and the Internet, that's all.
Only now, when she was actually in this environment, did she realize how terrible it all was. She wanted to throw up, cry, go back to her mother and Aunt Chloe, but she couldn't, she couldn't do anything, the adventure was never something she could stop if she wanted to, it was like a car that couldn't Get off the bus midway. When you choose to embark on this journey, no matter what happens in the middle, you have no choice but to reach the end.
"Are you feeling okay?" Barbara asked sitting on the hospital bed. She had many injuries on her body, and her expression showed worry when she looked at her.
"I...I'm fine." Mia replied softly. She lowered her head and continued to bandage her wound, which was what she strongly requested.
As a child who can't do anything, she has no role in this world except to hold her back, even with the weapon Rick gave her when she came into this world, a very light laser gun, according to him It was a weapon that even a newborn baby could use easily, but she still couldn't do anything.
She cannot point the gun at others at will, nor can she deprive other people of their lives at will. According to the education she has received, these are wrong.
What's more, when she saw the wailing man lying on the ground because of her, she felt that the gun in her hand was simply heavier than the heaviest thing in the world.
She originally didn't want to do this, but Rick and Sang Mei were looking in other directions at the time. The Superman government had too many troops and too many superpowers. They had no choice and no mood to care about other places. To them, it's more of a game than a war.
In order to save the member of the resistance, Mia almost subconsciously pointed the gun at the superpower who was parked in mid-air. She looked at the other person's disdain and pulled the trigger at the other person's provocation. Passing through the opponent's arm, the opponent's curse instantly turned into a scream.
The injured resistance member who fell to the ground gave Mia a thumbs-up gesture after seeing all this. He took this opportunity to pick up the weapon he had dropped before, and then pointed it at the enemy who was in pain. It was just a shot, and at the same time he was shouting something for freedom.
But now Mia only feels that her mind is blank. She did think about saving that person, but she never thought about shooting. It was like a subconscious reaction of her body. No, it should be said that it came from The knee-jerk reaction of the character she played today, he felt that now was the time to shoot.
This realization made Mia tremble. Before this, she had never realized so clearly what it meant to become another identity, not just the items, abilities, relationships, and even the inheritance of that identity. The muscle memory of the other party
, not to mention that she had always regarded this as a game before, just like her mother told her, this is a wish, a blessing, a real game that she can play as much as she wants before she grows up. , but no one had ever told her that the game was like this.
"I was just wondering, did those who died really move to a distant place? Can death really take away their pain again?" Mia continued, this time with a hint of crying in her voice.
She stood in the medical room looking at those who survived the war - because she couldn't do anything, Rick used a teleporter to throw her to the rebel base in the middle of the war with a cold face.
She stood there blankly holding the gun. When she heard the footsteps behind her, she subconsciously pointed the gun at the person coming. But when she saw that it was Ah Fu, she immediately threw the gun aside and jumped on him. In her arms, "I, I just, just..." She cried loudly, her voice was intermittent, and under the influence of her crying, it was impossible to hear what she was saying.
But Ah Fu didn't say anything. He just patted her back silently. The Mia of this world also held him and cried loudly at the beginning of the war. Her voice was so sad, as if the saddest thing in her life had happened.
It was only later that she learned to bury everything in her heart like her father. Only rarely would she find him, and then sit silently on the chair waiting for the dessert that Afu prepared for her. Just like it was before everything happened.
After crying for a while, Mia slowly stopped crying. She sobbed and followed Alfred back to the infirmary. There were still many people lying inside, most of whom were injured who had not yet recovered.
Most of the time, Superman does not kill ordinary people. His goal has always been on Batman. In his view, as long as he can catch Batman, the resistance will naturally collapse.
But this time, with the addition of Rick and the others, the death rate in the war has directly increased a lot. As a wanted man in the universe who had fought in more than one war, this was much easier for him than giving Morty a passing grade in math.
As Rick's grandson and granddaughter, and having experienced more than one adventure in outer space and other worlds with him, it doesn't seem like a big deal for Morty and Sangmei to inherit Rick's genes in this regard.
A few of them fought all the way to the Hall of Justice with weapons. In the end, under the shocked eyes of others, Rick took out the kryptonite directly from his pocket, and watched with a provocative expression as he knelt down because of the kryptonite. Superman on the ground.
He planned to kill him. Even Rick couldn't resist the temptation to kill a god with his own hands. However, when Batman stopped him, he could only throw the kryptonite to Batman with a bored expression, and then planned to take Morty and the others back directly. If he goes back in time, he can still see the end of the TV series.
But under Sang Mei's disapproving gaze, she said that Mia was still left in this world by him, and he could only return to the resistance base first.
At this time, the news of Batman's victory had been spread back to the base. This should have been a very happy thing, but the faces of the wounded did not show any excitement or excitement, but more confusion.
They were confused about what they should do in the future. The war lasted so long that most people had forgotten what it was like before, not to mention that all they could face now was a pile of mud and ruins.
Barbara didn't say anything after hearing her question. She knew that at this time she only needed to answer "yes". That answer would not only make Mia much better, but also make herself feel better. In the past few years, she has lost too many people she knew, her father, friends, and those who joined the resistance. They all lost their lives for freedom or something else.
And now that they have won, Superman is imprisoned and waiting to be judged. If nothing happens, he will probably never be released in his life.
Mia went to see him before the trial, as she requested from Batman. At that time, Rick and the others returned to the base and were saying something to Batman. Mia didn't hear it clearly, but she didn't care either. Now her mind was filled with what happened today. Anyway, even as a kid growing up in a superhero world
, this was a bit much.
Morty saw her like this and came to comfort her. He said that he couldn't accept this when he went on an adventure with Rick for the first time, but after experiencing it many times, he got used to it.
"Indeed, I can see it." Mia said. She held the hot cocoa that Afu had prepared for her before and looked at Morty with her lips pursed. She felt that she might never forget seeing him holding a machine gun before (she Not sure if those are actually machine guns, but they look very similar) shooting everywhere, leaving only a pile of corpses in their wake.
Thinking of this, she silently moved further away from him, and then after Rick and Batman finally finished talking, she ran over and asked Batman if he could let her meet Superman once.
"Why?" Batman asked. He did not refuse at the first time, although he knew very well that this was a very dangerous thing, and now they should return to her own world, but his Mia had complained to him more than once before Yes, she said that he had clearly said before that he would not continue to do this, but he had never followed through.
"I have some questions to ask him," Mia whispered. Even though she has experienced these things and previously learned from Batman what happened to Superman in this world, she still feels puzzled.
She wanted to know if he would feel sorry for those who died, and if he would feel sorry for everything he did. He had clearly told her that he was here to protect those people, but she didn't feel that he He was lying. The sadness and determination in his eyes didn't seem to be fake, so she wanted to ask him if he felt any regret for what he had done.
Batman sighed when he saw Mia like this. He could never refuse a child who really rejected him, even if it was from a parallel world.
So they walked through a long corridor and went around several turns before arriving at a cell covered in red sun lights. Superman was sitting inside wearing an orange prison uniform. He didn't make any move after hearing the sound.
He just regarded this defeat as an accident. If the blue-haired man hadn't suddenly appeared and took out the kryptonite from his pocket, he would not have lost at all.
"Superman," Mia shouted. Perhaps because she left the war early, she did not see the true appearance of Superman in this world. In her impression, he was still the best superhero in the world who basked in the sun all day long and exuded warmth. "How are you feeling now?" she asked.
But Superman didn't answer her question. He frowned and looked at Batman standing next to her. He didn't understand why he would rather join him for the sake of the Joker, Harley Quinn, and those crazy people.
Seeing that Superman ignored her, Mia yelled again. She waved at him to try to attract his attention, but it was of no use.
This made Mia a little discouraged. She sighed heavily and got ready to go straight to the point. "I want to ask you, have you ever been sorry for what you did?!" She shouted at him.
"I'm sorry, why should I be sorry," Superman replied. He walked up to them and slapped the glass hard. The chains on his hands made a loud noise under his movements. "I gave them safety and protected them, but Are they grateful? Are they grateful for my protection? No, they are not, they whine, complain, take the side of criminals, and they never thank me for everything I have done for them..." "That's
because They don't like this," Mia couldn't help but retort. Even though she didn't spend a long time with those people, during the time when she helped Ah Fu take care of the injured, she could feel their anger towards Superman, as well as those who rushed into the venue at that time. They were forced to accept things they didn't need, and this also caused them to lose a lot. "The teacher told me before that we cannot impose our ideas on others. That is against the law." She continued.
"I'm doing this for their safety," Superman shouted angrily.
"Then why are so many people dying?" Mia asked again. This time she looked at Superman with disappointment in her eyes.
He was not the Superman she knew at all. If it were him, he would never do this. He would just
look at her with a very apologetic look, just like he did in interviews after every battle, He always looked sad and sad at that time, as if it was his fault that those who were injured and died in the war were his fault.
And he would never use this method of restricting other people's freedom to protect the safety of others. He said that if someone refuses to walk on the street because of fear, then it will all be his fault.
"Sometimes we have to sacrifice a small number of people in exchange for the survival of more people!" Superman said.
But this time Mia didn't want to hear it anymore. She was completely disappointed with the Superman in front of her. In other words, he was not Superman at all. Superman should be the representative of all the good qualities in the world, and now this man who is imprisoned in red The person in the Sun Cell, he is just a criminal with the same abilities as Superman.
So she just lowered her head in disappointment and tugged on Batman's cape, which meant she wanted to leave.
Batman didn't say anything after feeling her movements. He just glanced at Carl one last time, as if looking through him at another dead person named Clark Kent, and then walked away with Mia left the cell.
As they walk through the corridors, Mia whispers to Batman what will happen to Damian.
He has been very kind to her since she came into this world. Before knowing everything, Mia thought this was normal. They were family members, and he was still Robin. There was nothing suspicious about him taking care of his sister who came from another world. But after knowing everything, he felt towards her, Even Superman is weird, they should be enemies, they should be wary of her, not guilty and sad.
"He will be in prison just like Superman, awaiting trial." Batman replied, his tone was calm, but Mia could still hear his fatigue.
After hesitating for a while, she tentatively stretched out her hand to Batman. Although he was stunned after noticing her movement, he did not refuse. He held her hand.
They left the prison together, and Mia followed Rick back to her world. After impatiently throwing her back into the garden, he left the manor directly, leaving Mia alone.
She stood there and looked at the birds on the tree. They were chirping and singing without knowing what they were singing. There was also Seth, who was lying in the sun. After realizing that Mia was looking at her, he rolled his eyes at her. He looks exactly like Damian.
This made Mia smile, but she quickly put her expression away and ran into the house. She had to go find Bruce, she had to talk to him.
