Chapter 2270: Gotham Music Festival (18)
Facts have proven that whenever you clash with Superman, you are the only one who will suffer. Although it was Peter who smashed Clark into the water, Peter essentially collided head-on with a locomotive, let out a miserable scream on the spot, and fell into the water, starting to blow bubbles.
Clark, who had been smashed, was stunned again, but he managed to see Peter splashing in front of him and scooped him up in one go.
But Seeing Natasha's revenge was not yet complete. The female agent held a water gun in each hand and sprayed Clark fiercely. Clark had no choice but to slap the water surface with his hand, raising a curtain of water, and took the opportunity to move Peter into the changing room corridor.
Peter coughed violently a few times, spat out a mouthful of water, and shook his head vigorously. The two crouched behind a pillar in the changing room corridor, wondering how to break through the blockade of the water gun battle.
But worse situations followed one after another. Two more figures walked up the stairs. Peter looked closely and was surprised to find they were Stark and Captain America, but not the Stark he was familiar with; it looked like the evil version.
The two of them were discussing something very intensely. Even if he couldn't hear it, Peter could roughly guess that it was just those issues of good versus evil, means and methods, and so on.
The two were too engrossed in their conversation, so they didn't hear the warnings from Bruce and Cat Getan at all. The moment their figures appeared in front of the gap, both of them were sprayed into drowned rats.
Steve and Stark stood there blankly, as if they didn't quite understand the thing called water. After coming to his senses, Stark took a deep breath, and the symbiote armor armed him instantly.
But the next second, Stark, who rushed out, was hugged around the waist by Steve and thrown back. He shook his finger at Stark and said, "Only cowards use real guns in a water gun battle. Don't let me look down on you."
After the momentary anger cooled down, Stark also committed the mistake that all Starks in every universe would make. He aimed his symbiote armor hand directly at the swimming pool next to him, and while absorbing bullets, he said, "I will make them understand what a hellish frenzy is."
Steve laughed and hummed, picked up his shield, and with a 'whoosh', the shiny Stars and Stripes shield flew in along the gap, smashing into the nearest water spray gun with a 'bang'. The pipe below the water spray wall was bent, the nozzle pointed vertically toward this side, and when the powerful water flow sprayed over, Spider-Man, who had spider-sense, dodged instantly.
The Robins suffered; they fled back from the gap they had just taken, scattering in all directions. Stark, who was standing in the center, was sprayed squarely and had to block the water flow with his arms, cursing Steve amidst the erupting sound of the water guns.
"Why does he have the right to demand that I tell the truth from beginning to end like him? What capital do I have to be completely uncompromised with commercialization like him, just chanting my own scriptures?"
"I thought he could understand me, but the fact is he doesn't understand at all. Bottom-layer black people don't have so many choices, we just have to make money first, without money, there is nothing."
"He doesn't understand that our starting points are ten thousand miles apart. How much effort I have to spend to run to his starting point, just groundlessly accusing me of running in the wrong way, and he himself is also marking time, unwilling to go to the higher place he could have easily reached."
"He didn't wait for my timing to arrive and superficially misunderstood me. I have to say, I am very disappointed about this, and felt very sad for a long time."
"Don't count on Batman." Jason raised his voice, glancing repeatedly toward the bar as he spoke: "You can't count on Batman in any situation involving guns; his marksmanship is terrible."
Red Hood and Red Robin looked at each other. They certainly knew that Batman didn't use guns, so they didn't know how Batman's marksmanship was. After all, under normal circumstances, Batman really had no occasion to use any guns other than real ones.
Red Robin looked down at the water gun in his hand again; it looked cool like an alien weapon, with a yellow and purple color scheme, a dark green magazine, and a bunch of decorations that looked like energy pipes on it.
If one day Batman picked up a gun with this style, it would be hard to say whether what was shot out was water or Omega Beams.
After imagining that scene, Red Robin shivered and said, "Better not, that would be too terrifying."
Cat Getan was a bit curious, because she had never seen Bruce use a gun either. She leaned on the bar, supporting her temple with her hand, and asked, "Your marksmanship is terrible, really? It's hard to imagine you're a Gothamite."
"It's not that terrible." Bruce answered truthfully, "I can rely on stealth skills to get within ten paces, and the shotgun hits the target every time."
"That is terrible. Have you ever fired live ammunition?"
"Of course."
"At the shooting range?"
"Something like that."
Cat Getan let out a snort, showing a very impolite mocking expression, reached out to wrap her arms around Bruce's neck, kissed him hard on the face, and said, "Darling, never say you've been to a shooting range, otherwise you'll be despised by every Gothamite, my penthouse superstar."
"Are you drunk?" Bruce muttered, "What's there to be proud of about going out on the street and shooting people?"
"But the feedback from shooting targets and people is completely different." Cat Getan poured the last drop of wine down her throat, still hugging Bruce, and said, "I don't have my own gun. Guns and bullets are very expensive, but I've stolen other people's guns and even wounded two unlucky guys who wanted to chase me. That thing is really exciting. The moment you pull the trigger, you'll feel like your brain is about to explode with dopamine."
"Who's the psychopath now?"
"It's not because of the bleeding and screaming, it's just because this thing is much more convenient than cold weapons. If you accidentally change from using a dagger and a whip to using a gun, you'll feel like you can literally shoot God."
"Then why don't you use it all the time?"
"I'm a thief, not a robber." Cat Getan muttered, then said, "Compared to guns, silencer technology is too backward. The sound makes my ears ache. I hate noisy things."
"Then it seems I should shut up quickly."
Cat Getan laughed, falling into Bruce's arms. Bruce held her and kissed her forehead gently. Cat Getan leaned in his arms, turned her head, and looked at Bruce's eyes from bottom to top.
Suddenly she sat up, as if thinking of something, and said, "Where's Aisha? She must have been quiet for 10 minutes, right?"
Bruce also froze and immediately jumped off the bar stool. When the two walked toward the water park together, Cat Getan couldn't help but press her forehead and said, "Is this the terrifying part of married life? Although we aren't married yet, if every romance has to be interrupted by a missing child, I can't imagine how boring we'll become in 10 years."
"When you have children, most of the interesting parts of life come from them."
They originally wanted to use the door, but walking through the gap that had been smashed out before was indeed faster, so they decided to take a gamble and jump over there before the two sides started fighting again.
It was obvious they lost the bet, because Stark had already rushed over regardless of life or death and started attacking everyone indiscriminately with the water cannons in his palms, which provoked public anger.
Thus, the water gun battle changed from a multi-person competitive confrontation between two sides to a BOSS fight. Whether it was Spider-Man or the Robins, they all started chasing Stark all over the field. In the end, even Seeing Natasha and Steve joined in, because Stark was hitting them too.
Bruce and Cat Getan each took a water cannon shot, but because they were worried about Aisha, they didn't have time to argue with Stark. They walked under the slide and saw Wanda holding Aisha playing in the pool.
Aisha was sitting in the water, Wanda was sitting opposite her, and the two were playing the simplest clapping game. Wanda was singing an unknown ballad, and they clapped to the rhythm. Aisha appeared very quiet, even though there were at least three children's slides beside her mouth.
"Is our education method wrong?" Cat Getan said with some doubt, "Should we be gentler? Or just hire a preschool teacher?"
After watching for a long time, Bruce said, "It's also possible that some people are just more compatible with children."
They stood there watching Aisha and Wanda play for a long time, and then Wanda discovered that Aisha's parents had come over. She touched Aisha's head like a real preschool teacher and then sent her back to Bruce and Cat Getan.
Bruce and Cat Getan also acted like a pair of real parents, exchanged a few polite words with Wanda about Aisha, and then hugged Aisha and turned to leave.
"When Wanda said Aisha was cute and sensible, I saw your expression almost couldn't hold up." Bruce said, "You have to practice well, because Aisha will have a parent-teacher meeting soon."
Cat Getan still felt a bit strange. She picked up Aisha, wiped the water off her face, turned to Bruce, and said, "Maybe people who have really studied early childhood education are different. I've never seen Aisha be quiet for so long."
"Of course I can't!" Aisha said.
Both of them were stunned, and then they remembered that Aisha could speak now. Although it wasn't particularly fluent, she could already speak sentences.
"Then why did you sit there for so long?" Bruce asked.
Who knew Aisha would roll her eyes and say, "Because I couldn't beat her."
Bruce and Cat Getan were both speechless. It seemed that they really should have found someone who could directly pin Aisha down. Up to now, the two of them combined couldn't pin down a rampaging Aisha.
They took Aisha back to the bar and ordered her a glass of juice. At this time, the water gun battle in the water park had reached a white-hot stage. The White Can had somehow persuaded the Spider-Men, and now they were on one side.
And Steve and Seeing Natasha naturally joined the Robins' side. Wanda didn't know who called her away, and Clark started acting as the referee for this new war.
Just at this time, the phone Seeing Natasha left on the bar rang. The female agent seemed to have heard a sound from her earpiece. She hurried back, didn't even have time to wipe the water off her body, and hurriedly answered the phone.
"Hello, what's wrong? Okay, I'll go over right now."
Bruce wanted to ask what happened, but Seeing Natasha didn't even look at him, ran downstairs at the fastest speed, and opened the door to Schiller's bedroom.
Schiller was currently lying on the edge of the bed vomiting.
Seeing Natasha was stunned. She hurriedly went over to support Schiller, but perhaps because Schiller's digestive organs were gray mist, he actually didn't vomit anything.
Seeing Natasha asked in disbelief, "What's going on?"
And Schiller replied listlessly, "... I might be seasick." ===== CHAPTER 2271 =====
