Chapter 78 Always Catching Gotham
"The black stockings you're talking about, are they this thin fabric? They don't keep you warm, and they don't cover your legs, so what's their purpose?"
In Boston, at Wonder Woman Diana's residence, she put on the long black stockings that Connor had specially bought and asked in confusion.
"Don't you think it looks great?"
Zatanna spoke, spinning around to show Connors another pair of fishnet stockings she had just changed into. "But," Diana paused, emphasizing, "I can't exactly wear these to fight crime. At most... at most, I can wear them in front of Connors to show him."
While admiring Zatanna's figure, he gently stroked Wonder Woman Diana's long, black-stockinged legs.
Connors suspected that even if the curtains were drawn now and it was broad daylight, the two of them would still cooperate without hesitation.
But just as he got up and drew the curtains, preparing for the daily grind, Wonder Woman Diana's phone rang.
She quickly got up to answer the phone, and hung up a moment later:
"Sorry, Connors, I have to go to the coast over Gotham. There's a really weird tsunami going on there. Damn tsunami!"
Connors silently cursed the ill-timed tsunami, then nodded to Diana:
"That's perfect, I'm going to Gotham too."
Zatanna's search for her father has been stalled in Gotham, so it's time to help her out as a way of repaying her for learning "reverse magic" before.
Reaching the rooftop via elevator, Diana summoned her familiar skeletal pegasus, and, not forgetting, removed the black stockings she had been wearing for Connors to see:
"Hurry up and get on!"
Since the black smoke couldn't fly and Connors himself couldn't either, he had no choice but to obediently mount the horse, with Zatanna still sitting behind him.
With two snow-capped mountains on his back, Connors pulled Zatanna even closer to him, turning the mountains into snow cakes once more, and said to Wonder Woman Diana:
"It's quite a distance from here to Gotham. Since the tsunami delayed your reward for me, is there any other way I can make up for it?"
Diana very sensibly moved her two long legs, which were straddling the horse's back, back a little.
But she clearly misunderstood Connors's meaning. The next moment, the skeletal horse flew into the sky, and her body was lifted up by a pair of large hands before being put down again.
Although the skeleton horse has a skull-like body, its back is quite flat, so at least the place where people can sit won't feel their bones.
Therefore, when Wonder Woman Diana was lifted up and then sat down again, she immediately noticed something was amiss.
She didn't sit on the horse's back, but instead sat on Connors' lap.
The scene was as if Connors were riding a horse, and she was riding Connors.
Despite lacking certain educational knowledge, the sensitivity of her body caused her slender, pink neck to turn slightly red during such intimate contact.
Fortunately, Wonder Woman Diana's mind was mostly on the strange tsunami on the shores of Gotham, so even though she was itchy, she still urged the skeleton horse to fly quickly towards Gotham.
Zatanna's view was blocked by Connors' back, so she couldn't see what was in front of her and simply assumed that Connors was "riding a horse" again.
She didn't say anything, but quietly hugged the man in front of her and buried her blushing face in Connors' back.
Zatanna's subtle movements behind him naturally did not escape Connors's notice, who possessed both spider-sense and Athena's vision, but she clearly misunderstood.
Boston isn't close to Gotham, but it's not that far either; there simply isn't enough time for Connors to start a game.
Therefore, he simply held Diana in his arms and did not go straight in.
I saw the news shortly after arriving in Gotham, saying that there were frequent tsunamis at a certain time, but they were all stopped by unknown forces. I wonder what the cause of this tsunami is. Also, why is Gotham always being targeted?
Connors held Wonder Woman Diana in his arms, burying his face in her soft pink shoulder, while contemplating the tsunami.
He wasn't going to get involved, for a simple reason—he couldn't swim.
Of all his abilities up to this point, none could enable him to operate underwater.
"You're saying this is the third tsunami this year? Where were the previous two?"
Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern, asked Batman, who was standing on the shore.
Batman looked up at Hal in the air and said:
"There's no point in asking that now, but these three tsunamis have one thing in common: they are all located in the legendary waters of Atlantis."
"No way, could that legend be true? You probably don't know, but I was fascinated by these kinds of legends when I was a kid," Hal said excitedly.
Batman looked towards the horizon where the sea and sky met, where a faint white line had already appeared.
The distance was too great, and the white line was only a thin line, but Batman knew very well that it was a tsunami that was seven or eight meters high.
If the tsunami is allowed to sweep in, Gotham Harbor will be the first to be hit.
"We must stop this tsunami no matter what," Batman said to Hal in a low voice. "There are chemicals that have just been unloaded in Gotham Harbor, and we must not let them fall into the sea."
Although he appeared to be having a good time, Hal Jordan did not let his guard down. Instead, he continued to use his Green Lantern ring to construct one barrier after another along the Gotham coastline to block the seawater.
But Hal's movements quickly stopped, and he continued to back away, revealing a man with a bare upper body, long blond hair, and a blond beard slowly walking out onto the beach that was usually never seen.
"Dude, now is not a good time to go swimming in the sea."
"The Flash" Barry also ran over and said to the blond man.
Barry arrived after receiving a message from Batman. Although he felt that his Speed Force would probably have little effect on the waves, he was willing to contribute whatever he could.
The blond-haired man ignored "The Flash" Barry and, after coming ashore from the water, turned around to face the oncoming tsunami.
He held a long trident in one hand, the end of which was resting on the ground, as if welcoming an impending tsunami.
"Who is he?" Barry poked Batman.
"I don't know." Batman shook his head.
He had just thwarted a crime plot by the Joker and Bane, and before he could even get some sleep, he rushed over after receiving a tsunami warning.
As for the safety of Gotham City and the evacuation of people, with the Gotham Police Department, Captain Gordon, and Harvey the "Light Knight" there, he doesn't need to worry too much.
"He is 'Aquaman' Arthur."
Connors' voice rang out from the air.
Batman (Bruce), Green Lantern (Hal), and Flash (Barry) looked up and saw Connors riding a skeleton horse, with Wonder Woman riding Connors as she fell from the sky.
Hal was greatly impressed by Connors' arrival, especially when he saw the Justice Society's "JS" ring on Connors' hand, and greeted him warmly.
"Wow, bro, you got a new horse again?"
"The Flash" Barry looked at Connors, who was sandwiched between two women on the skeleton horse, with a look of envy and a bit of frustration.
He's not ugly, he's fast, and he's saved a lot of people, so why doesn't he have a girlfriend, while Connors has two?
No, including the "Catwoman" who met once in the Metropolis and later went to the Seaside City together, there are three of them—"
Barry felt a pang of jealousy, but he still greeted Connors warmly.
"Hey bro, can we talk about something? Teach me how to pick up girls?"
Batman Wayne paid more attention to the people on horseback than the other two: one was the magician who came to Gotham, and the other was Wonder Woman who frequently appeared on television.
His connections were wider than I had imagined—the black warhorse turned into a flying skeleton horse, and my "Anti-Connors Armor" still needed more modules installed.
Batman's mind raced, and he spoke up:
"An outsider? I knew you'd come. You know something about him?"
Batman refers to the man who ignores everyone else from beginning to end, simply standing on the shore with his trident, facing the tsunami.
"Also, is this horse for sale?"
