Chapter 269

Chapter 269

Upon seeing her struggle to free herself, Damian smiled and shook his head before approaching her.

"I'll untie you, but don't attack me anymore, okay?" Damian said, looking at her, noticing the fierceness in her eyes and her reluctance to accept defeat.

"Fine," Wonder Woman said, staring directly into Damian's eyes while gritting her teeth.

Damian's hands turned into barely visible shadows as he untied Wonder Woman's wrists in an instant before tossing the lasso aside.

"For the record, it was self-defense," Damian said, mocking the woman.

"Then why did you hit Batman?" Wonder Woman said, not accepting his words.

"What are you talking about? That's how we greet each other where I come from," Damian said, making a pretty bad joke while laughing at his own joke.

"Alright, good luck, see you around," Damian said before floating into the air and flying away.

For now, he would find a hotel and look around until everything was ready for his return.

Wonder Woman watched him go before looking away in frustration. It didn't feel good to be defeated like that.

She quickly went to help her fallen comrades.

"Diana, where is he?" Batman growled immediately upon waking up with her help.

"He left after giving us a beating," Diana said, sighing as she sat beside him.

The only one she was really worried about was Batman, who was just an incredibly fragile normal human.

She noticed that Damian measured his blows, so the others would be fine, though she was astonished to see someone stronger than Clark.

"What do you think?" Batman said, holding his forehead. It really hurt; he felt like he couldn't even think.

"At least it seems he's not entirely bad. He could have easily killed us," Diana said, shaking her head.

"Or maybe he's just incredibly arrogant," Batman said. Just because he didn't kill them didn't mean he was a good person.

"We need to track and monitor him. If we have another conflict, we need to be prepared."

"We'll analyze his strengths and create a plan," Batman said, standing up with a groan of pain.

"Sure," Diana said, shaking her head as the rest of the league members started to gather.

Superman flew in and landed next to Diana, with traces of blood on his face, but with the sun over him, he had already fully recovered.

"Did he leave?" Clark said, looking around before looking at Diana.

"Yes," Diana said, sighing.

"Are you alright?" Clark said, looking at her, noticing several scratches.

"Don't worry, it's nothing," Diana said casually.

"Man, I hope nobody recorded that," Green Lantern said, landing next to the group.

"That would make a really interesting front page," Flash said, groaning slightly as he stood up, his abdomen still hurting from the hit.

"Let's just go back," Batman said, sighing. He really wanted to take off his mask, but he knew this wasn't the place.

....

Damian ascended and quickly flew towards what he knew as New York.

Besides being the most familiar place to him, he was also curious if there would be significant changes in the city's infrastructure compared to Marvel.

To his surprise, he found things were quite different.

After hypnotizing a random passerby, he obtained some information.

To his even greater surprise, the famous cities of Gotham and Metropolis were actually close by.

So, he immediately changed his mind and flew over the cities.

As expected, they were truly worlds apart despite being considerably close to each other.

Gotham City had a gloomy look, with many places appearing dirty and abandoned, not to mention the number of criminal gangs he saw from the air.

Metropolis was different; it seemed like a bright city, completely peaceful and somewhat advanced in terms of technology.

Since Gotham City was the closest to him, he landed quickly and started walking around, looking at his surroundings.

He could feel many eyes on him, evaluating him, yet no one approached. Even if they hadn't seen him fly, his appearance alone was very unusual, and in a world like DC, someone unusual was what normal criminals feared the most.

Damian could only purse his lips, feeling that the thugs had very good instincts; no one came to mess with him.

"Boring," Damian murmured before no longer paying attention to his surroundings.

Harley just giggled while turning her head to look at Ivy, annoyed.

"So, how about we go somewhere interesting? Like a villain's lair," Damian said, looking at Harley.

"Oh? Are you a hero? Do you want to arrest them? Wait, are you going to arrest me?" Harley said, looking at Damian as her mind worked quickly.

"Do I look like a hero?" Damian said, looking at her with a slight smile.

"You don't look like one," Harley said, nodding slightly as she saw his beautiful but intimidating crimson eyes.

"Then let's have some fun, let's rob some idiots," Harley said, suddenly excited.

"Are you coming, Ivy?" Harley said, turning to look at the woman in question.

"Sure," Ivy said, sighing. If she didn't go, who would protect Harley?

"Let's bother the Penguin. He stole some money from me a while ago," Harley said resentfully.

"Where to?" Damian said, looking at her.

"The dock, let's go," Harley said, pointing in a direction before starting to walk.

Ivy also started moving, getting closer to Harley, not without first glancing at Damian.

"Why walk? It will take us too long to get there," Damian said, smiling before levitating while lifting both of them off the ground.

"What the heck! Whoa," Harley said, flailing her arms unnecessarily trying to balance herself.

Ivy frowned deeply, as being off the ground severely limited her abilities. She couldn't help but look at Damian with alarm.

"Don't worry, we'll get there quickly," Damian said, laughing at Harley's antics.

"Wow, you can fly," Harley said, amazed, looking at Damian, while also noticing how the buildings quickly passed below her.

In a few seconds, they had already reached Gotham's port.

"Wow, if I could fly, they definitely wouldn't catch us after a robbery," Harley said, looking at Ivy.

"Anyway, let's deal with that Penguin idiot," Harley said, giving a big smile.

"Are you going to do it like this? Empty-handed?" Damian said, raising his eyebrows a bit.

"I'll just take the weapon from the first idiot I find," Harley said, shrugging.

Damian looked at Harley before quickly scanning the entire place; there were about thirty people.

He quickly analyzed the mental patterns of each person to ensure there were no innocents.

Not too surprisingly, there were all kinds of people; some seemed pretty bad while others were just trying to survive.

Damian suddenly made a bat appear in his hand, knowing Harley's tastes clearly.

He easily placed a few enchantments on it. The bat would strengthen Harley while increasing her damage against people with negative brainwaves, while against innocents, the damage would be significantly reduced.

Harley wasn't a good person either, but you couldn't exactly call her bad. She was crazy but also not.

It was complicated.

Both women were surprised to see Damian pull something out of nowhere. Harley even shamelessly approached and started patting Damian's body, as if wanting to see if he was hiding things under his clothes.

Damian took Harley's wrist, which was going a bit too south, before placing the bat in her hand.

"Here, it's a gift. Use it well," Damian said, smiling at the crazy woman.

Harley's attention was incredibly fleeting. She had been focused on patting Damian's body and realized his muscles felt pretty good. Suddenly, her attention was completely drawn to the bat Damian placed in her hand.

It was a beautifully red and black bat that matched her outfit perfectly.

"Wow, what a bat," Harley said, holding it with both hands and noticing it felt different.

She couldn't help but swing it a few times, creating a sharp sound.

"Thanks," Harley said, giving Damian a big smile.

"Sure, go smash some bad guys' heads," Damian said, chuckling.

"But I'm bad too, should I smash my own head?" Harley said, looking at her bat with a thoughtful expression.

"I don't think you're that bad," Damian said, chuckling as he looked at her.

Ivy's gaze fixed on Damian's expression, and her caution towards the mysterious man lessened a bit.
