146, gentle hanging painting(1/2)

New York.

Natasha finally checked the storage in the refrigerator, confirmed that the ingredients inside were fresh enough, threw away all the expired milk and yogurt, and finally closed the door of the refrigerator.

Originally, she didn't plan to continue doing this anymore. Wen was in Gotham, and Connor, who was temporarily living here, also ran to Gotham. After both owners left, it was just an empty house and she didn't need her to take care of it.

But she continued to come over because Connor would come back from time to time to get something.

And he didn't even see him knocking at all, asking her if she could make some food so that he could bring it to Teng.

Therefore, Natasha had to temporarily put aside her moving plan and still lived next door between tasks and tasks.

From time to time, I came over to help Wen take a look at the house and fill in the gradually empty refrigerator.

However, during the last time, Wen said that she would come back to New York in the near future. Bruce, who came to New York specifically, confirmed the matter and asked her about the various problems that Wen exposed when she was with her.

"What did you say?" asked Diana, who was playing with a small elf ornament.

Regarding Diana, this is another trouble that Wen brings.

This Wonder Woman's daily entertainment outside of superhero work seems to be quite poor, and is also one of the people who pays the most attention to Wen except Batman in Quanzhenglian.

One of the things I said is because there is a more enthusiastic one.

"Yes, yes, what did you say?" Xiao Shan ran around the room happily. "Is this where Wen lives? It's much simpler than I thought. Wow, wait, this room is closed later, can I go in and take a look?"

"I think Wen probably won't mind." Natasha sighed in her heart, subtly feeling that she still couldn't escape the fate of raising children after Wen left, "Remember to restore the things you touched to their original state."

Xiao Shan pushed open the door the moment he received the affirmative reply.

Then he stood at the door and was stunned by the magnificent room: "Wow, this room, this room...wow, it's incredible. Will anyone really sleep in this room? I thought this room would only appear in castles or theme hotels."

Diana said: "It looks very similar to Bruce's residence."

"This place is almost arranged according to Wayne's main house, of course it will look like it." Natasha said with a lot of laughter and cry, "What are you doing here? Forget Diana, why did the Flash come too?"

"Why can Diana forget it!" Xiao Shan protested.

"Because Natasha and I have been in contact for a long time, almost starting from the time I knew Wen." Diana said, exchanging a look with Natasha, "Natashaha City learned about Wen from me."

Xiao Shan was stunned: "Didn't you contact each other before this?"

"Of course not, why ask that?" Natasha said. "I am not as leisurely as the members of the Zhenglian League. Almost all of you have another job, but most of our Avengers have only this job. S.H.I.E.D. can mobilize us to a certain extent, so I am very busy."

She paused and added: "You are now occupying my precious private time."

Xiao Shan successfully showed an extremely shocked face while wearing a uniform and a mask: "But you have spent your precious personal time on helping Wen to sort out."

"I'm idle, I'm idle." Natasha felt more intensely that she was taking care of the children, and this was a child with a lot of problems. "I don't have many entertainment activities I like more for the time being."

Diana said: "What did the bat say to you?"

"Yes, yes, that's why I followed me," Xiao Shan heard the topic he wanted to hear and rushed to Natasha. "What are you talking about? How are Wen doing in Gotham? Is Bruce's relationship with her good? Oh my God I have many questions to ask. If everyone hadn't said we shouldn't have been too much about this, I would have gone to Gotham to see how Wen is now!"

Natasha thought to herself: Oh my God, the Flash is really naughty.

Diana gave a conniving smile and said softly: "Okay, Xiao Shan, be quiet, listen to Natasha."

"Well, Mr. Wayne and I have talked a lot, and they are almost the same old thing. Wen's condition and Wen's condition." Natasha said, "But this time, I told the bat something new, something you overlooked."

"What is it?" Xiao Shan asked in a difficult situation, "What else is there to be ignored by us?"

"Wen is always talking about how her father is, how her father is," said Natasha, "but she never mentioned her mother. I wonder why no one found this. Isn't it weird enough? One of the most important participants in life is completely absent in her life, and she never mentions it."

Diana was stunned.

She suddenly realized something.

"Diana should have the same feelings as me about this." Natasha put her hands on her hips and showed an ambiguous, faint smile. "Wen will show a very strong interest in older women."

"Uh." Xiao Shan said.

He looked at Diana, then at Natasha, feeling subtle and unbelievable because he had completely kept up with the rhythm of the conversation and knew something else.

"I heard that Wen had always gotten together with Bruce's ex in his own world," he said, stammeringly, "So, are they all true?"

Wow, he thought, this is really worthy of being the Bats!

Wen Ye is really worthy of being a bat cub!

Why does such a tingling thing make people feel numb? Once placed in the Bat House, it doesn’t make people feel incongruous at all? Not only does it have no sense of incongruousness, it also makes him want to make a hey laugh... But Xiao Shan tried hard to hold it back.

"Did you say anything else?" Diana was quite interested.

"I've only said this," said Natasha. "There's only this thing to say. There's nothing else to do - what about you? You're not going to come to me just to ask me what I said to Wayne, right? It's enough to make a call like this."

Diana then remembered her mission: "I came here to tell you that we have recently observed strange energy fluctuations. We cannot decipher the operation mode of this energy, but the rules contained in it are extremely ancient. We may encounter new trouble."

As expected, Natasha nodded.

"You are not the only ones who have observed this energy," she said. "We received news from Dr. Strange two days ago, saying that he seemed to have seen this energy from ancient books and would contact us when he found out the details."

Xiao Shan nodded frequently beside him, acting like he had listened to this passage carefully, but anyone could see that his thoughts had already flown to somewhere.

"So," Natasha asked with a smile, "want to go to my place to eat and talk about something else?"

"Of course it's okay," Diana said happily. "I don't know anyone in New York yet. You can call your friends too."

"How is Steve?"

"You're here again, Natasha."

The two walked out of the room with laughter and laughed. When the little flash that was forgotten by them came back to their senses, he was the only one left in the room.

Xiao Shan was stunned: "..."

It was fine to stay here with the other two, but now he was the only one left, Xiao Shan was uncomfortable. He walked slowly against the wall and towards the door. When he walked to a decorative painting, he suddenly stopped.

The content on this hanging painting is a bit strange, like a door.

Moreover, the location of this hanging painting is too biased, which is very abrupt compared to the overall decoration of the room, just as if this painting was hung here specifically to block something.

Xiao Shan curiously lifted the hanging painting.

There was nothing on the wall, and there was no stain at all.

He put down the hanging painting, walked away and looked at the painting for a while, but still felt that the painting looked too much like a door.

"Strange." He mumbled and left here.

Gotham.

But there is no possibility of verifying this idea at the first time, because Wendy did not listen to Wen's call at all and was still sleeping deep in her consciousness.

Wendy slept too long and too deep, which made Wen start to worry if something went wrong with Wendy. She has almost figured out the situation now, and about those pasts - she is not ignorant, and those pasts are not Wendy's pasts alone.

The past is shared by them, but Wendy is trapped in memories and she chooses to move towards the future.

To some extent, she took the initiative to abandon the past.

Although it turns out that she has not completely forgotten, memories remain in her consciousness, and those blurts that don’t even think about are proof, especially when she initially talks about her life experience to people she knows, the reality and intensity of those emotions are unquestionable.

Unfortunately, she only remembered roughly, and could only "blur out" the past in a natural and relaxed conversation, and had to work hard to find some details... there was nothing she could do.

I could only ask Wendy, but Wendy refused to wake up.

Wen called Wendy one after another for a long time, and finally sighed and gave up the idea.

"What are you doing?" Connor asked leaning against the balcony.

During the period when Alfred was away, he took care of all the plants raised on the balcony. This short experience seemed to have made him interested in raising something. When he had nothing to do, he would simmer these plants, fertilize, loosen the soil, water, and take care of the small fish on the bookshelf, and he was very happy.

"Talking to Wendy."

Conner was quite interested: "Does you have to say the conversation with her? I thought you could talk directly in your brain, or just think about each other and feel it."

"Actually we can do all these methods you said." Wen fell on the bed, "but Wendy often ignored me. I just tried to talk to her but she refused to wake up."

Conner thought for a while, unable to think of what it felt like to talk to him in his mind.

He continued to fiddle with the flower pots and spread them a little more open.

"If you like, we can raise flowers and fish in our new house." Wen lay on the bed and looked at Connor on the balcony. "I can raise some kittens and dogs, or snakes or lizards, I have no objection."

"It's not your care anyway, right? You're only responsible for playing." Connor snorted, "It's not okay to keep something, but I don't like anything. Do you have anything to like?"

"I don't like small animals." Wen replied lazily, "Little animals are not obedient enough, and it's troublesome. I really like the fur of small animals."

"Then I won't raise it," Connor said. "Do you want to see the conceptual picture I've drawn?"

"No, leave some surprise."

"What did you and Bruce say?"

"You didn't listen?"

"Of course not." Connor admitted, "When the atmosphere between you is tense, I just want to run away immediately. Sorry, baby, but I'm not good at dealing with this situation. My own parent-child relationship is also a mess, and this is the result of Superman's good temper."

Wen responded muffled, turned over, fell asleep while placing her chin on the back of her hand.

She felt a little sunken beside her, and it was Connor sitting here.

"Unhappy?" he asked.

"It's okay, don't worry about me, just wait a moment." Wen said, approaching Connor's hand and kissing the back of his hand. "But don't worry about the house in Gotham, I'm going to work in New York soon."
