"Don't worry too much, I just feel like it's time for me to go home. If I can bring peace to the world before I go, so that Superman can no longer enforce his rule of power, it will be a double-edged thing. "

That's what Palmer told everyone who came to talk him out, Bruce, Dick, Tim, and even Alfred.

After a week of truce negotiations, Batman and Superman reached a consensus on many aspects, such as the co-governance policy for superpowers, and no one can intervene in the operation of human society after the new policy is stable. Soldiers who committed excessive acts must be punished as war crimes afterwards.

The only sticking point that got stuck was Palmer's delivery problem.For this reason, Superman and Batman even had a fight and collapsed the conference room, but the unresolved problems remained unresolved.

"What makes you put it all down to a kid."

"A child who dares to try to overthrow a regime, act recklessly, and play with people's power, is no different from Luthor and his ilk." Superman shattered the stool.

Batman kicked away the wreckage on the ground, "Then you should reflect on yourself, what makes a child dare to resist your rule."

"Don't talk to me in that tone, Batman, I'm not a defeated man, it's just a helpless act to talk to you here."

"Exactly, I also have the same intention." Batman narrowed his eyes slightly, "Put away your delusional conditions, you might as well think about more practical things with this time, such as how to control your madness-filled conditions. Men of the mind."

Superman returned the same indifferent eyes, paused, "I will take care of everything, but the conditions will never be changed." After speaking, he turned around, leaving only a sentence, "Batman, you know, even if the earth is destroyed Submersion still can't hinder my life, maybe I don't care about the earth as much as you think."

"If I die, will you really abide by the terms and conditions as promised?" After seeing the entire Batman fight day and night for this matter, but still unable to make Superman back down, Palmer resorted to His ability came to Superman.

Although he is still weak now, his whole body is emitting golden energy, and he looks like a golden little sun in the dark.Palmer looked at Superman sitting across the table as an equal, "You swear by your adoptive parents, your hometown, and everything about you."

Superman looked at the child silently. His deepest impression of him was when he got involved in the Justice League in another world, talking about his great principles, with the appearance of a fearless idealist.

"It seems that you are ready to die." He paused, "How old are you?"

"11 is old."

"Willing to die for peace at the age of 11?" Superman couldn't help but sneered, he thought of himself, when he was 11 years old, he was still a confused country boy.

Palmer tried his best to maintain a straight posture, "Even if I was younger, I would be willing," he blinked, "Come and swear, Mr. Superman, swear that you will fulfill the contract as promised."

"If the world can really change for the better."

Superman held out his hand to Palmer, and the big hand shook with the small hand.

"Then, the transaction is established."

The execution date was finalized three days later, and Palmer was held by Superman for the time before the execution. In exchange for taking a step back, he released Ms. Louise, who had been imprisoned as a hostage before.

Three days later, in front of the White House, a high planetary frame stood there, piled with firewood underneath, and the executioners were bound to it, and Superman and Batman, who were both sides of the war, and Aquaman, who was a witness, were all there. Stand under the shelf.Their supporters surrounded the execution platform, and there was a sea of ​​people as far as the eye could see.

"So far, the two parties have reached an agreement." Haiwang casually grabbed the long notice that he had finally read, and said impatiently, "Hurry up and end it, it's really troublesome."

Superman and Batman shook hands with displeasure, their hands were so strong that they wanted to crush each other's hands.

Batman gritted his teeth and squeezed out, "Congratulations, you did another thing you would never do before."

"This is not the first time, is it?" Superman laughed instead.

The two picked up the prepared torches, and according to Superman's request, they will light the firewood under the execution rack together.There is nothing wrong with you interpreting it as a mockery of Batman: Look, you can't protect anything, and now you have to kill the person you want to protect with your own hands, and you are no nobler than me.

Palmer, who was tied to the high ledge, looked at the crowd of people under the scaffold, and most of the people were looking up at him.Among the people watching him, some were crying, some were laughing, and some were shaking their fists angrily.Palmer couldn't hear what they were saying, but he was relieved.

【Look, when the powerful are still standing on the stage, even ordinary people can express their anger to him. 】

According to the usual steps before execution, "Palmer, the maker of the conspiracy, what else do you have to say?"

Palmer thought for a while, and suddenly smiled. Now that he was surrounded by golden energy, his smile really looked like the angel on the murals on the dome of the church.As a result, even those who were clamoring for execution became quiet.

[What are you going to say?It seems that there is nothing to say. 】

He raised his head high in the eyes of everyone, and his weak but clear voice reached the ears of everyone in the front row:

"Oh, see, through the ray of dawn, what are we shouting for?

Whose wide star, braved a night of artillery fire, is still fluttering in the wind, on the bunker of our army?

The cannons are shining and the bombs are roaring, they are all witnesses that the flag is safe and sound.

Do you see the Star-Spangled Banner flying high, in this free country, home of the brave? "

"The Star-Spangled Banner", the national anthem of the United States, sings the praises of the Star-Spangled Banner that never falls.The little children sang, and gradually others echoed. The singing spread like a virus, and almost everyone was singing.

"No matter what the situation, everyone should fight for the truth."

Superman threw the torch in his hand to the woodpile, looked at Batman who was still in a daze with a sneer, "It's your turn."

Batman faced the burning frame silently, the flames on the oiled pyre had already risen high, reaching Palmer's trousers.He bent down, and the torch in his hand seemed to be extremely heavy.

Suddenly, Batman saw a pair of eyes in the flames, he quickly blocked but it was too late.A laser beam pierced his forehead, and Batman fell to the ground with a thump.Wonder Woman jumped out of the flames holding the gun, and rolled on the spot to extinguish the flames on her body.

Everything is just a momentary change.

Wonder Woman had been hiding in the woodpile beforehand.She curled up, enduring the heat and the flames.The flames burned off her hair, burned her skin, and left a layer of skin on her hand holding the hot gun due to excessive burns and became bloody.

But it's all worth it.So she was still laughing, but turned a deaf ear to the injuries all over her body.Wonder Woman cast her eyes on the angry Aquaman, "Please rest assured Your Majesty, there will be no war if there is only one leader."

"What about you?" She looked at the people in the audience, "Obey, or be like him?"

While Dick and Tim stopped the angry crowd who had recovered from their shock, they kept looking at Batman on the stage, trying to figure out if this was another one of his tricks.

In the flames, Palmer saw clearly what happened.The tears were dried by the heat wave before they fell, and I didn't feel anything in my heart, I just felt empty and scary.

"Ah—" The golden energy gushed out, smashing the execution frame, Palmer fell on the stage, and when he looked up, he saw Batman's face.There was a blood hole between his eyebrows, and there was a frozen expression of surprise on his face.

Golden energy spurted out again, shooting out from Palmer's limbs to the surroundings.The huge force caused the platform to collapse, and even cracks appeared on the ground.Bearing the brunt, Superman and Wonder Woman who were attacked by the energy in the face were hit hard and flew out.

"Witch! Flash!" shouted Dick, who escaped the energy attack.

The huge magic circle was activated, and together with the Flash, the surrounding people were sent to a safe place, so as not to be hurt by Palmer's sudden runaway.

After the last group of people were sent away, Dick and Tim hid behind the nearest bunker, trying to find a way to regain Palmer's consciousness, but they couldn't get close at all.

The energy runaway continued for seven or eight minutes, and everything finally calmed down.

Dick walked out of the bombed-out bunker stepping on rubble all over the ground. The further he went to the center, the more serious the damage was.

The original location of the execution platform has long since disappeared.Kneeling there was a boy with his head bowed. Dick first saw Bruce in his arms, and couldn't help but his nose was sore and his eyes were red.Bruce was ready for the trick, he had the weapons to stun the Amazons and the kryptonite on him, but he didn't expect Wonder Woman to be hiding in the woodpile.

"You—" He hesitantly put his arm on the boy's shoulder.

The young man raised his head in a daze, and Palmer's shadow could still be vaguely seen on his much grown face. "Help him," he said, looking at Dick with blank blue eyes, "Help him."

Dick finally cried out. He hugged the young man tightly in his arms, and hugged Tim, who had been crying for a long time and bit his lip to prevent himself from making a sound.

The boy finally stopped repeating his words, and his eyes dimmed.Then, amidst the crying in his ears, he also cried like a child.

This was probably the last time he cried like this.

After waking up, Palmer silently looked at the strange faces in the mirror. According to the memory that suddenly appeared, he had a gene called the time lord race.For this race, death can be cured like a cold. As long as they are willing, they have twelve chances to avoid death by rebirth.

But rebirth is not fixed, it may bring you a new look, a new personality or even a new gender.

Because of the mental load caused by the previous high-intensity squeezing force, his body was forced to enter a state of repair, and then he entered the rebirth stage because he could not get a stable recovery.At the execution ground, the process was accelerated by the dramatic emotional shift that came with seeing Batman dead.

And so he was born again.

Probably thinking that it would be nice if he could be stronger, his body that was originally eleven or twelve years old turned into a seventeen or eighteen-year-old, and his face with some baby fat became thin and well-defined.With deep eye sockets and tightly pursed thin lips, she doesn't look like a talkative person.Only a pair of eyes are still as blue as the sky, and some shadows of the past can be seen.

Is he still Palmer Wayne now?
