Chương 88: Chapter 88: The First Transformation
"Alfred, it seems that we made the right choice by accepting the invitation to the Stark Expo."
After knowing about the news of Phantom Kid, Bruce smiled and said to Alfred beside him.
"Master Wayne, why are you so obsessed with Kid? Tony Stark is Iron Man, his skills are no worse than ours, and obviously, his steel suit is more advanced than your bat suit."
Alfred was confused.
"And based on Tony Stark's character, I don't think he would welcome Batman to intervene in Iron Man's affairs."
"This has never been a problem, and I am not going there to help Stark, but to catch Kid."
Bruce waved his hand.
"The expenses of the Kevlar suit are not much lower than that of the steel one, and it is more suitable for light operations. I don't need to fight terrorists with great vigor during the day."
"And, who said we can't have our own steel suit?"
Bruce smiled mysteriously.
Alfred understood it all; it seemed that his master had the intention of upgrading his equipment.
When Bruce gets such an idea, there must be someone in the world who will be unlucky enough to get a taste of it.
If this person happened to have fought Batman before, things will be even unluckier for him.
Meanwhile, the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, the Triskelion building.
"Hill, monitor the status of the Stark Expo throughout the whole process. I want to know for what purpose Phantom Kid is stealing the Arc Reactor."
Nick Fury ordered Agent Hill with a gloomy face.
Since the Tamil Ruby incident, Fury has constantly been asking Hill to pay close attention to the whereabouts of Phantom Kid.
However, Agent Hill still missed the Dresden Green Diamond heist.
No one knows how Phantom Kid got into the Wilson Building.
And by the time Agent Hill knew about it, Kid had already escaped.
Afterwards, no matter how hard she tried to investigate the security footage, she still didn't know who was under Kid's costume.
Besides, it was surprising that Kid had managed to humiliate Kingpin. And for some reason, some members of S.H.I.E.L.D. seemed to have enjoyed this news.
They had wanted to take care of Kingpin for a long time, but his position in the criminal network of the United States and the world was too special; he was both a destroyer of order and a builder of order at the same time.
He had established a criminal empire.
This time, Kid is targeting Tony Stark, who is very easy to be offended. Nevertheless, there were many agents who silently praised Kid for doing that.
But now, is there a possibility that a Kid's teaser letter will ever be forwarded to the Triskelion building someday?
Is that even possible?
The person who says this must be joking.
Except for S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, there are very few people who know the location of the Triskelion Building. It is impossible for Phantom Kid to be an agent within S.H.I.E.L.D.
He would have been exposed a long time ago if he were.
What they didn't know was that S.H.I.E.L.D. had long since ceased to be S.H.I.E.L.D. ...No, it should be said that there has never truly been an organisation called S.H.I.E.L.D.
New York University, female dormitory.
"Barbara, let's go to the Stark Expo together!"
Pamela looked at the news on her phone and enthusiastically said.
"Uh... this, okay."
Barbara looked at Pamela's expectant eyes and couldn't bear to refuse her invitation.
During this period of time, she has basically understood the situation in the school. Although Pamela is very popular among students, she is recognized as a beautiful school girl.
When Barabra usually walks around the campus, she hears many people talking about Pamela's beauty.
But in fact, almost no one dares to approach her.
Many people can't help but avoid Pamela when they see her, especially the students who were in the same department as her.
Barbara had asked many of her classmates, but they were all very secretive about it. They only revealed that it had to do with some serious experimental accident.
In that accident, only Pamela survived.
Of course, after investigation, it is proved that the accident of the experiment has nothing to do with Pamela, but many people suspect that Pamela may be cursed or born with bad luck.
After knowing about this, Barbara's sympathy for Pamela grew even deeper. Her experience in Gotham was already very tragic, and when she came to New York, she would still be treated the same way.
Barbara was aware of this kind of life experience. Anyone who has gone through something similar could easily inspire a sociopathic personality, and any random person locked up inside Arkham Asylum has a similar past as this one.
But how does Pamela actually behave?
Beautiful, generous, and kind, she can't bear to hurt a fly.
Barbara asked herself whether she could have kept Pamela's kindness, if she had gone through her experience.
Yet, she couldn't answer this question.
«Perhaps, Pamela wouldn't be her current self without Phantom Kid.»
Watching Pamela constantly browsing the news about Phantom Kid, smirking like the girl in love she is, Barbara's heart instantly felt touched.
Recalling her prejudice against Phantom Kid, Barbara suddenly felt that she was too one-sided.
Of all the things Kid had stolen, only the Adam Star was exchanged for profit, and in the end, the poor were the real people who profited.
Even though Wayne Enterprises doesn't care about Adam Star's money at all, could it really be called justice to take someone else's rightful possessions to help another person?
It was because of this constant questioning in her mind that Barbara had taken aim at Phantom Kid, not to mention the position of her father Gordon.
Barbara was still entangled when Phantom Kid showed Mathison's habitual intimacy, so she chose to verify it herself instead of telling others.
Barbara really didn't know what to do if Mathison really was Phantom Kid.
Fortunately, it finally proved that Mathison was not Phantom Kid.
But now, Barbara suddenly understands Kid's approach a bit and understands why so many people in the world like this style of Robin Hood-like thief.
«Phantom Kid, what kind of person are you?»
Barbara thought silently in her heart.
«Never mind, it doesn't matter to me now, I'm not a cop anyway, I'll just have to do as dad tells me to, and leave Kid to him.»
"Pamela, it happens that I don't have classes on the day of the expo, so let's go together."
Barbara smiled and told Pamela.
"Okay, will Mathison come with us too?"
When Barbara agreed, Pamela was very happy and then asked about Mathison.
"Mathison happened to tutor that day, so there was no way he'd accompany us."
"That's good, if Mathison doesn't come, I won't have to..."
It stopped abruptly because Pamela felt that it might not be a good idea to say that.
"What did you just say you didn't have to do?"
Barbara asked suspiciously.
"It's nothing, Barbara, I'm sorry that Mathison can't come..."
