Chapter 107: Bruce with Mixed Emotions
In a hospital in the Old Town, which is heavily guarded, Downey has arranged for a large number of men to guard the hospital, and Anderson even comes and goes around every few hours, and the security work is done to the extreme, because Rachel is recuperating in this hospital.
That night, although they rescued Rachel in time, several fragments still pierced Rachel's delicate body, but fortunately it was not fatal, and after emergency surgery, she was out of danger.
This is the best hospital in the old city, with a relatively good location, convenient transportation, and far away from a large number of residential buildings and shopping malls, which is more tranquil and most suitable for patients to recuperate. On the way to the hospital, a group of saplings were planted on both sides of the road, bare, with few green leaves, which looked a little funny, but at the same time there was an inexplicable warmth.
Bruce took off his armor as soon as possible, and in a rare panic, he ran here to guard Rachel who was sleeping. The Dark Knight, who frightened countless people, gently peeled an apple at this time and gently placed it on the table, for fear of waking up Sleeping Beauty.
He had repeated this action many times, because apples were easy to oxidize after a while, and Bruce would re-peel an apple every few dozen minutes and throw away the discolored apple.
Downey was right, Bruce was indeed accompanying his woman.
Bruce should be thankful for giving him hope.
To be honest, Donnie really thinks that Rachel should not be such a dead woman, and from beginning to end, Rachel was involved because she was Harvey's girlfriend and her relationship with Batman was unclear.
It's innocent, it's unfortunate, and it's a bit of a victim.
Downey went to great lengths to save this woman, but not just out of interest. It's true that he is a pragmatist, but it doesn't mean that a pragmatist has no emotions of his own, so what's the difference between him and a robot? Rachel is really pitiful, and considering her special identity, she can save it.
On the night of Batman vs. Downey, before the war, Downey secretly arranged Anderson and Klein, Rachel and Harvey must not die in the explosion, even if they die, it is more worthwhile to die.
In the end, all goes well, and Downey stands in the dark, sitting coldly watching Harvey being killed by Batman. Even if Batman doesn't do it, Donnie will find a way to force him to do it. Harvey blackened overnight, first of all, Batman didn't see the dark side of Harvey's heart clearly, and he was complacent about thinking that he had found a righteous knight, and threw a lot of heavy burdens on Harvey, an ordinary person.
Trying to turn Harvey back, or some of it back, is as simple as telling him that his beloved Rachel is still alive, but Downey doesn't plan to do that at all.
Moreover, it is nothing to use "don't kill" as the benchmark of faith, but it is really forced to a certain extent, and the Batman who is willing to kill is a good Batman.
Bruce must also know in his heart that Donnie was deliberate, a series of actions, tangible and invisible, and he acted under Downey's pressure.
And Rachel, as long as this woman is alive, she can be used as a pawn to clamp down on Batman, with Rachel, an ordinary person, Batman always has to hesitate to deal with him.
Whether emotionally - no matter what the purpose, Donnie always saved his childhood sweetheart and erased the results of his lifelong regrets. Or intellectually - Rachel is still here, and if he goes to war with Donnie again, Donnie, the big bastard with a super low bottom line, will definitely not hesitate to threaten Rachel's life.
Just like the difficult choice of one or the other that night, whether Bruce saved Rachel or Harvey, he would surely spend the rest of his life with boundless regret. Bruce knew all too well that whether he made peace with Donnie or went to war, he would regret it.
If he reconciles with Donnie, he will regret that his philosophy does not allow him to dance with someone like Donnie; If you start a war with Donnie, Rachel will definitely be finished, and Downey will use all means to take Rachel hostage against him.
This kind of thing, Donnie bastard must be able to do it, Bruce knows it too well.
Bruce has not stopped analyzing Downey all this time, trying to build a detailed model to find Downey's weaknesses. But to Bruce's frustration, he doesn't seem to be able to find an obvious weakness, which means he can't make an overwhelming attack on Donnie.
Downey himself is a lonely man with no relatives and no reason, nothing more than a few limited friends, but his relationship is complicated, and if you want to deal with Downey, you must consider the consequences of dealing with him.
For someone like Donnie, the absence of obvious weaknesses is the greatest strength.
I heard that just now, Donnie's bastard who was cut a thousand knives publicly tweeted that he would support a senior official in the election of a lawmaker for the next government, which set off a huge public opinion, which made his mood even worse. Donnie has a great ability to see the seams, and he can always give you a cold knife at an opportunity that is not an opportunity, so as to take advantage of it.
In short, Bruce's perception of Donnie is unusually bad now, it's a terrible feeling of chaos to the extreme, you can't kill, you can't catch it, and reconciliation is a joke. The people of the Shadow Warrior Alliance had never taught him what to do with people like Donnie.
It seems that it can only maintain a bad and awkward relationship.
"Where is this?"
Rachel opened her eyes at some point, and her beautiful eyes looked at the white walls around her with a bit of a blank look, and finally fixed her eyes on Bruce.
"It's okay, you were rescued, our guys went a little late that night, and you were injured by the explosion." Confused, Bruce hurriedly put down the apple in his hand and pressed Rachel's shoulder with minimal force to prevent her from trying to sit up—Rachel's wound was only stitched and bandaged, and she couldn't move at will.
"What about Harvey? What happened to Harvey, the group of criminals told me that Harvey and I could only live one! Bruce, how's Harvey? Rachel was a little flustered, and as soon as her body exerted a little force, there was a sharp stinging sensation from several wounds, which made her snort.
"Don't move, your wound hasn't healed yet." Bruce said that some of the mistakes were difficult. How do I explain Harvey to Rachel and tell her that Harvey is crazy and that I killed her?
Rachel will fight with him, after all, they are both engaged.
Harvey ...... He was actually very good, and I rescued him that night. The clown lied to us, he reversed your position and told us. Bruce feigned composure and spoke lightly.
Rachel was smart, smart enough to make her want to turn herself into a fool who didn't understand anything at this moment, she closed her eyes in agony, and quietly, a tear flowed from the corner of his eye.
Something must have happened to Harvey, otherwise it should be Harvey who is staying here, not Bruce. If it was just an injury, Bruce wouldn't have said anything like "good" and would have told him that Harvey was injured.
Something must have happened to Harvey, he's dead.
