Volume 9: Fate of Destiny Chapter 65 My dear, you will never walk alone
What should the wedding of a person like the master, who is outstanding in every aspect, be like?
Is it full of guests? Or extremely luxurious? Or is it full of the tragic romance that is unique to the Bat Family, such as a group of super villains suddenly jumping in to disrupt the wedding, and then kissing on the bloody battlefield after a hard-fought victory?
Sadly, none of the above.
Or all of the above.
The super villains did come.
But the guys from the New Legion of Doom came running over aggressively without even entering the door. They just turned around and left. They also politely presented gifts without alarming anyone.
After all, the old man is still sitting in the first row downstairs. Counting the bridesmaids, groomsmen and flower girls, there are six Kryptonians here alone. Who dares to act rashly in such a situation?
As for friends and luxury, these two things are just basic embellishments. In short, the whole wedding is filled with a happiness and satisfaction that should not belong to Batman.
Of course there are also those who are dissatisfied.
For example, Mr. Deadpool, who was dressed very handsomely today and brought his charming wife to attend the wedding, kept bragging to everyone around him about the grand occasion of his wedding.
Of course he wasn't bragging.
After all, it is a rare scene to invite almost all the superheroes and villains from the universe to a wedding. That is probably the most gorgeous highlight in the life of the hated Deadpool.
Compared with his wedding, the venue, which was limited to the manor, seemed small.
However, other people did not have much opinion on this. After all, except for those who came here sincerely to congratulate, the purpose of others coming here was not just to send blessings to the newlyweds.
Guys like Green Goblin or Fury are already thinking about how to handle interpersonal relationships. Even a cool camp leader like Sister Ka can't avoid having a few drinks and a few words with people he doesn't know well.
We are all good at dealing with things, so it's no problem for us to deal with these small things. Of course, we still have to do the superficial work.
Especially when the groomsmen came out, the applause was so loud that it even overshadowed the bride and groom, leaving Mason, who was standing between Er Tong and Zod, speechless.
He knew that most of the applause was directed at him.
This might be the main reason why he was not very willing to be the best man for his master before. Stealing the limelight from the newlyweds at a wedding would lead to being struck by lightning. Ertong and Zod also knew this, so they moved to the sides quietly to avoid being implicated by the lightning if it really struck.
Fortunately, today's two protagonists really don't care much about these things.
It is no exaggeration to say that Selina and Bruce only .
Especially when they exchanged rings hand in hand, that scene made all the bridesmaids, including Halle, burst into tears, and also made Mason quite emotional.
For most marriages, the wedding is just the beginning of mutual torture, but for the two people in front of them, they have been torturing each other for many years before they decided to hold this ceremony.
This is more like the result of a relationship than the beginning of an impulsive one.
"Um?"
Mason was about to listen to the wedding vows when he suddenly turned around as if he sensed something, and saw a strange black figure waiting in the shadows in the garden behind.
The captain made an inaudible gesture, asking him to wait.
He didn't want to miss any frame of the following scene. To him, these beautiful things were something he could never get enough of.
Amid the melodious music, the newlyweds exchanged rings and kissed each other amid the cheers and applause of everyone standing up.
Not as Catwoman and Batman, but as Selina Kyle and Bruce Wayne, everyone understands the meaning behind today's wedding. This is not only a beautiful love, but also represents that the two superheroes will "retire".
Therefore, the applause also expressed gratitude and praise to the two. Superman and Louise, who were sent by the Daily Planet to exclusively cover the Wayne family wedding ceremony, put down their work and stood hand in hand in front of the camera to appreciate the scene.
Especially the auntie smile on Dachao's face, as if an old father finally saw that his troublesome son had found his destiny in life. The "macho man crying" scene of him taking off his glasses and wiping his tears is a classic among classics.
The three Lords of Justice, who were dressed in formal attire and sitting in the front row, held hands and sent their blessings in a silent way.
They were happy to see themselves in another world also find their own happiness, while some more sentimental people, such as Aunt Martha, were crying uncontrollably, sobbing on the shoulder of the old man, who also had red eyes.
"They're going on vacation afterwards, right?"
Zod, who was beside Mason, whispered:
“I don’t know which one I’ll choose?”
"If I had to guess, maybe just wander around Gotham City."
The captain's eyes were filled with satisfaction and blessing. He said softly:
"Walk through every street and alley in the places where I once fought as another person, and maybe go to Crime Alley to heal the psychological trauma of my childhood.
They are no longer young and not as romantic as we imagined, but if they really want to go out and have a look, there are so many places to choose from.
By the way, are you and Kara planning to continue playing charades like this?
You know the Kents would be happy to have you if you wanted to."
"There's one last thing left to do."
Zod shook his head and said:
"I want to see my father again, my father in this world. If the plane I came from still exists, I also want to go back and take another look at the place where I was born.
But you don't have to worry about us.
Kara is a very opinionated person and she will choose the right moment to make it clear.
And you?
What are you going to do next? I am actually curious about how you will choose to relax after getting away from the busy work and heavy pressure? "
“If I had to choose, I’d spend a busy but fulfilling time in my suitcase factory.”
Mason curled his lips and said:
"But the fact is that I have to go on vacation, and I have two girlfriends, so I have to bear double the worries. I may not see each other for a while, and I believe that when I come back, everything will be better...
Um?"
The captain's eyes flashed, and Hawkeye's precognition activated, allowing him to see himself catching the bouquet thrown by Catwoman amid the cheers of the crowd.
He subconsciously tried to dodge as if he was skillfully dodging a smoking grenade thrown at him, but he abruptly stopped the water body that had begun to reconstruct, and stretched out his hand to let the bouquet of flowers fall into his hand just in time.
This is a beautiful blessing from the bride for his future life. It would be very rude to refuse it.
The moment Mason received the flower, there were loud whistles and applause, which made him complain helplessly that this might be the bad feeling of being a big star.
It's impossible to keep a low profile.
"I've changed my mind."
Mason complained to Zod who was smiling beside him:
"I'll be leaving soon, spending my vacation somewhere where no one knows me, and then I'll come back secretly after everyone has forgotten who I am."
"Hey, they're waiting for you to speak."
Ertong pushed Mason at the side, causing the captain to look up in surprise and say:
"I'm not the bride or groom? Why are you letting me speak?"
"Do you mean to say that you will refuse to bless me on this occasion?"
Today, the cat lady, dressed in a classic white wedding dress and looking like a white Persian cat, turned around and stared at her little brother Mason. While handing over the microphone, she hid her hand and made a cat's claw shape, threatening:
"Speak to me nicely! Seriously, I'll beat you up if you don't speak well. If you can't move me to tears, I'll hate you for the rest of my life."
"Hey, Bruce, keep your wife in check."
Mason complained expressionlessly. The Son of Gotham shrugged and made a "please" gesture. He said:
"I think my wife is right, and I'd love to hear your opinion on this wedding."
"Humph, you bastards."
The captain complained bitterly in his heart, but then he did not get nervous.
He took the microphone and walked forward under everyone's gaze. He looked around and saw the eyes below with different meanings. After coughing a few times, he said:
"Everyone who knows me knows that I am always prepared for all contingencies, so those who want to see me make a fool of myself can be disappointed in advance.
because……"
He took out a folded paper from his bosom, waved it in front of everyone, and said:
"Even for something as outrageous as being suddenly asked to speak by a willful bride, I made more than one record."
This caused a chuckle from the audience, but it soon quieted down. They really wanted to hear what Mason had to say today. The captain unfolded the paper, took a look, and said:
“My life started in Gotham. No matter what others say, I have always been proud of being a native of Gotham. Especially when I met Selina at the entrance of Crime Alley, I knew that fate had finally begun to favor me.
It is no exaggeration to say that the scene when I met today's bride was definitely the worst situation she could have encountered in her turbulent, cunning and ghostly life .
At that time, I was just a gangster, but I bravely took the step to enforce justice.
Then, my story really began.
I thought that was cool enough, but the fact is that less than thirty minutes later, I met the groom again. You will never imagine how much willpower I used to suppress the urge to ask him for his autograph.
After all, since I was three years old, Mr. Groom has been my most admired hero.
But then again, for a kid growing up in Gotham, this mentality was as common as the shit that happens in this city every day.
They are the ones who led me down this path.”
Mason took a deep breath and said to everyone in front of him:
“No matter how many people will say what I and my friends have done now or in the future, no matter how exaggerated they are, it cannot change this fact.
I'm glad I met Selina and Bruce at the beginning instead of running into Zhou Keer or other assholes in Crime Alley that night.
They taught me to have faith, especially when I was really faced with the bad things that were bothering everyone.
When I joined the Star Society and witnessed the first destroyed world, I realized what a terrible era I was living in. That world and countless worlds were using tragic facts to convince me that in this era of disaster, a smart guy like me had a better future in becoming a super villain.
I don't want to hide it from you.
I did waver, and when I punished Penguin in the worst possible way, I realized that I do have a talent for doing bad things.
But Selina and Bruce pulled me back with their actions.
With them and the rest of Team K by my side, it was not easy for me to convince myself to just stand by and do nothing about all the evil and darkness, so one morning I suddenly realized...
Hey, man, how about we try to put this dark age of chaos back on track?"
The captain smiled.
He spread his arms and said to everyone in front of him:
"That's what I thought, and that's what I did, so here we are, in the bright sunshine, attending a couple's wedding instead of raising our weapons against each other and turning this place into another hell.
When I started out, I wasn't sure how far I could go, but after getting to know you, I realized that I wasn't the only one who wanted to do this.
I don't like calling someone a savior.
Because without you, there would be no happy and beautiful picture today.
Similarly, without Selina and Bruce, there would be no Mason Cooper and his story and his legend today. It suddenly occurred to me that they helped me so much and I never really said thank you to them.
When everyone was thanking me, I was unable to express my gratitude to everyone, but in my story, everyone is a hero who deserves to be thanked.
Everyone deserves their own happiness.
The bad guys won't allow such a wonderful thing to happen, but we will also have firm actions to defend everything we have and want.
We are no weaker than they are, and yearning for beauty and kindness will not make us more cowardly.
That's what I wanted to say.
Tell it to everyone, tell it to you, my friends."
Mason turned around and nodded slightly to Selina and Bruce behind him. He whispered:
"I wish you happiness, my friends."
"Oh, Mason, this is not quite what I expected."
Lady Catwoman snorted and sniffed:
“I’m not impressed at all.”
Mason blinked and whispered to her:
"But I have done my best, Selina...sister."
This name that had never been spoken out loud made Selena, who had been tense all the time, burst into tears instantly.
She wiped her tears and abandoned her husband, holding Mason in her arms, while Bruce reached out and patted Mason's shoulder with a look of relief.
Behind him, louder applause than before came like a tide. Even Deadpool was whistling and applauding enthusiastically, because Mason, the savior, praised him as a great hero.
Well, Mr. Deadpool likes this title very much, and even wants Mason, who speaks very nicely, to say a few more words.
"Okay, pregnant women shouldn't cry so violently. It's not good to have such big mood swings."
Mason patted Catwoman's shoulder, and when the latter let go of him, the captain's eyes were red, but he still restrained himself and returned the scene to today's protagonist and quietly retreated behind the crowd, leaving a water clone here to hold the scene, and he came to the garden to meet Black Qiyi.
"We found it."
As expected, Mr. Hei brought good news.
He said to Mason:
“They blocked all coordinates of that world, making any teleportation ineffective. Even the passage of the Eye of Time and Space there was cut off.
So you might have to use some unique methods to get in there undetected.”
"I have already made arrangements, don't worry."
The captain nodded and asked again:
"What about you? Where are you going next?"
"Just find a world and wait for the new era to come."
Hei Qiyi said indifferently:
“It takes preparation to complete Christine’s resurrection between the collapse and reconstruction of the sacred timeline, so I can’t accompany you next, Mason.
What you are about to accomplish is very dangerous, there may be some very terrifying forces in their world..."
“It has to be this way.”
Mason waved his hand, looked back at the wedding scene behind him, and whispered:
"It would be boring otherwise, wouldn't it?"
"So we're leaving now?"
Black looked at that place with strange eyes. After a few seconds, he asked a question. Mason shook his head and said:
"Wait a little longer, let me watch for a while longer. These warm and beautiful things... I can never get enough of them. By the way, did you see my brothers when you came here?
They haven't been around since yesterday, as if they had made an appointment to disappear. I'm a little worried. I wonder if they are secretly trying to give me a life or something."
"They're going with you, Mason."
Black Qiyi replied:
“I tried to persuade them, but they were very determined.”
"Well, that's to be expected."
Mason shook his head. He turned and said:
"Let's go, let's go now."
"Hmm? Won't you look at it a little longer?"
Hei Qi looked at him in surprise. The captain withdrew his gaze and said:
"That's enough. If there's more, I'm afraid I'll try to convince myself to stay here and lose the courage to move forward."
Hei nodded.
He could understand Mason.
Although all this had nothing to do with him, even he couldn't help but want to immerse himself in it, so he turned around and opened a door.
Mason took off his bow tie and stepped in. At the moment he completely disappeared, he felt a sinking sensation on his back. Harley, still wearing a red dress, screamed and rushed over to him, and Quinn also held his hand.
"Hey! You annoying Mr. K!"
The crazy beauty bit his ear and said incoherently:
"Don't even think about abandoning us! We're already relying on you."
"They're chasing us!"
Quinn yelled.
Mason shrugged, took a step forward, turned back and waved to the guys who were chasing him, then quietly left as the strange black magic dissipated.
He had to walk the last part of the journey by himself, just as he had come here.
Hey, everything has a beginning and an end.
