I, V, Gotham Legend

NO81. Xavi returns

Jenny didn't sleep all night. She really wanted to check on her husband, but she followed his instructions and didn't move. It was not until about four in the morning that Joe allowed her to go to Harvey's bedroom.

When I opened the door, I saw Harvey Dent sitting on the bed, playing with coins as usual.

"Harvey, did you go out with Miss V before?" Jenny walked anxiously and steadily in front of Harvey and asked nervously.

Harvey raised his eyes in surprise: "I thought our actions were secretive enough."

"We've been together for a long time, I know you very well." Jenny smiled gracefully, "You like to sit on the bed and daydream like this after running field work."

"I'm sorry I went out without telling you. I didn't want to worry you." Harvey said with his head down.

"You've made me worry every day since I came to this city." Jenny put her hand on Harvey's face and lifted his head up. "But I've always supported you. You won't hurt me, right?"

"...Now, I can't guarantee it. You know, I..."

"Two-faced, I know." Jenny patted Harvey on the back, "I believe you will solve it, just like before."

"Yeah... just like before." Harvey straightened up in Jenny's arms. He took a breath and then looked into Jenny's green eyes. "Jenny, tomorrow... or after dawn today, I will go back to the procuratorate to work as usual."

“Today?” Jenny’s eyes widened. “Is it really okay? You were injured like that before, and Miss V also said that your second personality has violent tendencies.”

"There are ways to minimize the loss of control. And my regular attendance can reassure the citizens of Gotham, and can also suppress those evil forces that are ready to move." Harvey lowered his head, his eyes buried in the shadows.

"Then what will you do? What if it happens again like yesterday..."

"It's okay." Harvey gently touched Jenny's face, "I am a completely different person now."

"Things are different now?" Jenny chewed on the word.

"You'll know tomorrow. If the media has any conscience, it should make the headlines." Harvey raised his head and said confidently.

"What did you do with V at night?" Jenny reacted immediately.

"You'll guess it sooner or later," Harvey said, keeping it a secret.

The two hugged each other tenderly for a while, and then Harvey asked Jenny to go back to her room to rest.

Watching his wife leave, Harvey whispered to himself, "Even though we flipped the coin beforehand, you actually didn't do anything."

While chatting with Jenny, Harvey was always worried that his second personality would suddenly erupt and do something terrible.

"Harvey..." Two-Face's tone turned serious. It was the first time he spoke to his other self so seriously. "I think I'm in love."

Harvey: “?”

……

The Gotham Police Department received a call in the middle of the night. They went out on duty overnight and rushed to the White Building as quickly as possible.

As if someone was watching, the White Building, which was under full lockdown, automatically lifted the blockade after the police team arrived.

Many of the gangsters who had been beaten up had regained consciousness in a daze, and after seeing the police, they all accused V and the new devil.

Although the police responded on the pretext that someone was attacking the building, after entering the building, they still found a lot of deliberately displayed criminal evidence.

This type of law enforcement has been used many times. For gangsters who are good at whitewashing themselves, Batman will often beat them up and put them together with the criminal evidence, and then ask the police to come on the pretext of someone trespassing.

Therefore, the police were familiar with the process. They skillfully sent the staff members to the police cars and then took them back to the police station for trial.

Except for the thugs downstairs, everyone in the building, including Warren White himself who was hanging in the cafeteria on the seventh floor, was taken away. To wipe out an entire gang at one time, even if it was not large in scale, was still a lot of work.

After dawn, when Harvey returned to the company, the first person he met was Gordon who came back with him.

"Harvey, you...I thought you were going to rest for a long time." Gordon didn't know about Harvey's dual personality, but he witnessed with his own eyes what happened to Harvey after being splashed with sulfuric acid.

"Miss V is an excellent doctor, you know." Harvey said and then closed his mouth, as if trying hard not to say anything.

Gordon looked at him strangely, and he touched his cheek to make sure there was no dirt on his face.

"Sorry Gordon, that expression is a side effect of the surgery," Harvey explained, digging his nails into his palm.

"Really?" Gordon looked at Harvey's face in confusion. He knew how badly Harvey's face was injured yesterday. It could be repaired so perfectly, so it was understandable that there were some side effects.

"I'm glad to see you're getting better. Don't worry, Harvey. Maroni attacked the prosecutor in public. His guilt is already established."

"That's great... What are you doing here, Sheriff?" Harvey changed the subject.

"The case file from last night needs to be given to the judge to take a look. Since something of concern has occurred, I'm here to submit it personally." Gordon shook the file in his hand.

Harvey probably understood what it was. He thought that he had greeted everyone enough and it was time for him to leave. But before he knew it, he spoke uncontrollably: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Gordon gave Harvey a strange look. He didn't use any special words, but he felt that Harvey's tone was inexplicably ruder than before. "It's not a big deal. The police arrested the Great White Shark gang yesterday. They claimed that they were attacked by V and a demon they had never seen before."

Harvey smiled awkwardly, "Hanging with V, he must be a new superhero, right?"

"Although V has always been very high-profile and did not hide her identity when living in Gotham, she still does things in a mysterious way. We don't know where this demon came from." Gordon said helplessly.

"How do you plan to announce this demon to the world?" asked the Two-Faced Man with a chuckle.

"Everyone calls him the Devil, and there's no one else using that nickname right now, so we can just call him by that name. After all, we still don't know anything about this person." Gordon answered his comrade honestly, "I really don't know where V found this guy..."

As he was talking, Gordon suddenly realized something. He raised his head and looked at Harvey thoughtfully: "What do you think we should call this newcomer?"

Seeing Gordon's eyes, Harvey knew that he had almost guessed it, but Two-Face didn't seem to notice: "I think calling him the Devil is more..."

"Shit." Harvey took over control of his vocal cords. "It's so shameful to act like a bad guy."

He looked at Gordon, feeling embarrassed.

"So what?" Gordon's expression had changed from speculation to understanding.

Harvey sighed helplessly, "That demon only appears at night...I think, so I think it's more appropriate to call him Daredevil."

NO82. It’s time to give it to me

After sending Harvey back to her room, Valerie was too lazy to come back to give birth, so she simply had a good sleep in her room on the spaceship.

When she got up, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. Although she was in the spaceship, she could still imagine the sunlight outside that was buried in dark clouds.

For safety reasons, Harvey's wife stayed on the spaceship. Valerie made her a computer with decent performance to entertain her. However, when Valerie left the room, she still saw Jenny wandering around the spaceship.

"Don't you know how to use a computer?" Valerie greeted Jenny.

"Just resting my mind for a bit." Jenny smiled softly, "Did you take Harvey with you to fight crime last night?"

"Ah? Oh..." Valerie was confused for a moment, then she realized, "Did you see the news online? That's really fast... I'm surprised you accepted it so quickly."

"Ever since I knew there was a Batman in Gotham, I felt that my husband would go down this path sooner or later." Jenny said regretfully, "I believe you will protect Harvey."

"Of course, although he's a bit naughty, Two-Face is a good kid." Valerie said like a teacher visiting home.

"Two-Face...is that the one with Harvey?" Jenny understood.

"Don't worry, I think you two should be able to get along well." Valerie walked over to Jenny and patted her shoulder. "I'm going to work. You stay here. If you are really bored, besides the computer, you can also borrow some books from Joe. He can produce a lot of books."

"The books I read are probably not something that ordinary people can read normally." Joe's shadow suddenly appeared behind Valerie.

"I believe you can think of a solution." Valerie said to the two of them happily, and then she ran towards the teleportation room.

After a burst of mechanical sounds, a loud thunder was heard, and then the room returned to silence.

"I hope Miss V has an idea about the hidden teleporter's movements." Joe said, and his figure disappeared into the air.

Valerie returned to the afterlife. She tidied her clothes and then pushed open the door of the warehouse. Dynamic music entered her ears and the fresh air entered her nose, making her head much clearer after a day of sleep.

As soon as she entered the corridor of the afterlife, Valerie saw Malone's familiar figure not far away.

"V! We were just about to call you." Malone, who was in his seventies, walked briskly to Valerie's side.

"What's the matter? It's rare to see you so energetic." Valerie said, looking at Malone.

"A fairly wealthy guy came up and gave us a large tip, and specifically asked for you," Malone said in a low voice.

"Master Wayne?" Valerie's first reaction was this person.

"No, it was a woman who looked quite prestigious, with a group of people following her." Ma Long took out a card from his pocket. "She gave me this. I checked it and it really works. The money in it is enough to cover the orphanage's expenses for half a year."

Valerie knew that Malone was not a greedy person, and Valerie gave him a good share, but he was so excited about the card in his hand, obviously there was too much money in it.

"Go ahead, V, in the box you always go to." Malone patted Valerie on the shoulder and then stuffed the card into Valerie's hand. "If you can't come to an agreement, return this to that woman."

"I thought you would persuade me to do this cooperation for money." Valerie laughed.

"I certainly hope so, but you are more important." Ma Long's eyes were filled with kindness, "Go ahead."

Valerie nodded and walked along the familiar route with ease. After opening the door again, she saw a familiar woman lying on the sofa.

The dark skin, the bloated figure, the expensive suit, and the condescending expression, Valerie felt that he was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was for a moment.

But she didn't ask any questions. Valerie walked past the bodyguards in the room, sat down opposite the woman, and looked at her with a questioning look.

The woman did not speak either. The two of them remained silent for a while. Finally, the woman lost her temper and said, "Is this our first official meeting? V, I am..."

"Amanda Waller!" Valerie answered quickly.

As soon as he opened his mouth he spoke in that familiar official tone that was so greasy that it killed people. Valerie immediately remembered who this guy was.

"..." Amanda was silent again, "I'm glad you recognized me."

"It's you, aren't you dead yet?" Valerie greeted very politely.

"...A lot of people want me to die, but they never get their wish." Amanda said proudly.

Valerie thought this guy was dry and had no sense of humor at all: "Okay, high and mighty official, what do you want from me that you have come all the way here?"

She thought about it and thought that maybe Deathstroke did something to make him jump in front of Amanda after the bomb was defused.

When they parted, Deathstroke agreed with Valerie that he would go back to seek revenge on Amanda first, and then join the afterlife.

Amanda didn't look like she had been attacked by superhumans before, but she brought so many bodyguards with her, obviously not with a friendly attitude.

"We have something in your hands." Amanda drank a glass of water and spoke calmly.

"?" Valerie showed an expression of confusion.

"Lex Luthor and his alien box!" Amanda looked at Valerie's silly expression and still couldn't keep her composure.

"Oh..." Valerie understood that this guy came to her to ask for the Mother Box.

Valerie thought for a moment, then closed her eyes with a sad expression: "The Mother Box was stolen, it's all Thorn's fault..."

"The League of Assassins says they don't have it." Amanda didn't buy it. "They contacted us when they smuggled their submarine into American waters."

Valerie looked up in shock. "You allow them to bring foreign weapons into your country?"

"What foreign weapons? Those submarines were originally sold to Latin America by the United States." Amanda said as a matter of course, "They were just sent back."

"They were sent back to carry out terrorist attacks," Valerie said seriously.

"In Gotham? We can use this as a chance to expand our scale so that the government can approve the military to intervene." Amanda leaned back on the sofa. "You don't understand the struggles up there. To be honest, I don't want this to happen."

"I don't want to hear you talk about politics." Valerie crossed her legs in a very single manner. "I can't give you the Mother Box. It's a very dangerous thing. It will attract alien invasion."

"You mean Kryptonian?" This aroused Amanda's interest.

"Even the Kryptonians are afraid of it." Valerie said seriously, "For now, it's safest to keep this thing with me."

NO83. Assault on Arkham

"This is just your personal opinion. We have never come into contact with that alien box." Amanda said coldly.

"It doesn't matter what you think. The Mother Box will not be given to you anyway." Valerie's distrust of Amanda was written all over her face.

Amanda took a deep breath to calm her soaring blood pressure: "What does it take for you to trust us?"

Obviously, they represented a higher-level government and had brought so many people here, but Amanda still felt at a disadvantage when sitting face to face with V to negotiate.

Valerie also came to her senses. Although she was not afraid of the Sky Eye Society, the consequences of completely breaking off relations with the government were troublesome. "It's not that I don't trust them, but just give me some more time. I can find a way to make this thing safe."

She had no intention of handing over the Mother Box. In a few days, she should have finished studying the most superficial appearance of this thing, so it should be no problem to make a fake one to hand it over.

But Amanda didn't intend to agree to it. She poured herself another glass of water to suppress the nervousness in her heart: "After a while, how long is it? Doesn't it mean I have to wait another year next time?"

"Next month, large-scale research takes a long time." Actually, it would be almost possible to make a fake mother box now, but Valerie extended the deadline for herself, not only because she had just refused, but also because she wanted to make it more realistic after in-depth research by then.

Amanda looked at Valerie dully, calculating the gains and losses in her heart.

Although she brought a lot of people with her in order to put more pressure on the other party during the negotiations, Amanda knew that if V wanted, none of these people would be able to escape.

What's more, during the Krypton War, V personally demonstrated her ability to raise a large army from scratch. If she is provoked to a quarrel, it will be very troublesome for the government.

Amanda thought for a long time, and finally compromised: "Then one month. If I still can't get the Mother Box after one month, you will no longer be a friend of the United States."
