Batman underestimated women a bit, but years of education allowed him to maintain respect for them, somewhat akin to a blend of European chivalry and ancient knights who wouldn't strike women.
His view of women was to ignore them. Thalia gave him a son and stabbed him again. It wasn't just a stab; it was a stab with a metal object lodged in his body. What he did was endure.
Catwoman betrayed him, and he expressed forgiveness to his former lover, as if oblivious.
Even the semi-mad Harley Quinn of the later period focused mainly on critique and education, starkly contrasting with the approach of beating the clown to death.
When someone slightly mysophobic confronts Lady Shiva, the outcome is predictable.
There are many places where one shouldn't hit! You can't hit the chest, and the waist is too sensitive, so that's off-limits too! The face? Staring into Lady Shiva's cold face, he could barely fight!
With hands and feet restrained, his martial arts skills were already inferior to Lady Shiva's, but now the difference became even more pronounced. The only reason he could maintain an undefeated stance was due to the strength of his protective clothing.
He wanted to see what was happening with Catwoman, but he didn't know that all surveillance cameras had been hacked by Felicity, and he feared the police might show up any moment with both light and heavy arms. Restless, he threw two punches at Shiva, turned to look at Catwoman, and was about to shout, but nearly bit his tongue at what he saw.
At that moment, Catwoman and Thea stood side by side. It was as if the previous fight to the death had never happened. They both had their arms crossed, watching the fight. They almost seemed to want a bucket of popcorn to watch. In reality, he wasn't watching. He didn't know that Felicity, behind the camera, was eating snacks and silently rooting for him.
A conversation between the two women reached their ears from time to time.
"The punch Shiva landed on Batman's face was very weak. Did she even eat?"
"No, it's a problem with your perspective. That punch was a feint. The key is this kick. Good! Beautiful! That side kick is perfect!..."
Bruce really wants to kneel before these women! Who am I working so hard for? Who will I fight for when I'm full? I became more and more certain that I would never fight with a woman again. He wanted to ask for a truce, but Lady Shiva was enjoying the fight and didn't give him a chance.
Thea carefully observed the movements, steps, and motions of both. She's a true martial artist. She's just a martial arts user at best, not even a fan.
"Thea, back away quickly, the police will arrive in a minute." Felicity hurriedly said through the earpiece.
"The police are coming!" They were all warrior comrades. Thea felt it wasn't appropriate to leave them and run alone, so she shouted towards the battle circle.
To be honest, none of the few present were honest heroes. Thea still needs to maintain her status as a pure flower. Catwoman and Shiva are thieves and murderers. Batman is also on Gotham's most wanted list. All three heroes are.
Several people immediately stopped. It was mainly Lady Shiva who stopped, actually. Batman wanted to run away a long time ago. She was a bit unfinished. She curled her lips and said to Thea, "We'll continue training tomorrow morning." Before Thea could reply, she disappeared into the dense forest.
Batman nodded to Thea. At this point, he knew Thea had no intention of arresting them, otherwise the police would have been called.
He grabbed Catwoman by the waist and shot a grappling hook into the sky. The two quickly rose thirty meters into the air and disappeared without a trace.
As the blurred layers in the sky shifted, Thea finally saw the approximate outline of the Bat Fighter. The fuselage was narrow and long, and the propellers were arranged under the wings. That was the key to being able to descend and land vertically. Then, prepare carefully. When he looked closer, the Bat Fighter had completely vanished into the air.
Hey, should I study it carefully next time! Thea vaguely heard the sirens and hurriedly evacuated according to the route provided by Felicity.
...
When Thea returned to the scene, she originally thought Catwoman would make a fuss about her plan being exposed, but she didn't expect Moira to actually have two tricks up her sleeve.
Although the reporters and dignitaries hadn't left, Moira initiated a crisis communication, and Thea only caught the second part as she entered.
"... We must not be intimidated, we will not be brought down! We must unite to fight against these evil elements that threaten and intimidate us. They fear us and our united strength... Police Officer Edward and I, the governor, have submitted proposals to the city government and parliament respectively, and our Queen Group will donate equipment worth 5 million to the Star City Police Department to combat criminals!
"Please, also help us and help us maintain the appearance of Star City and save our home!"
"In the end, our Queen Group and the city government each contributed 1 million as a reward to anyone who could provide clues about who caused the trouble tonight! Please, media friends, publish this news. We must resolutely combat their arrogance!"
Even if the present celebrities didn't want to, they could only grit their teeth and express their willingness to donate money! Even those who felt ashamed couldn't say, let's go, take fifty cents and don't look back! Seeing others donate from 100,000 to 80,000 dollars, they could only take back fifty cents and write a check to make up the amount. After signing, they still had to say they were very happy! Indescribably happy.
Seeing my mother successfully resolve the crisis, turning bad things into good and portraying the Queen Group as a persevering fighter, I silently praised her political talents.
As for the donation of equipment, to get the desired reward. Who knows if you donate less or nothing at all? Anyway, Thea's goal is the stars and the sea. Star City may be good or bad. That doesn't have much impact on her. She can handle it if she sees as much as possible. If she doesn't see, forget it. No matter how well the city is built and no matter how strict the regulations are, there will still be room for evil to flourish.
Many celebrities concluded the fundraising, and the police inspector announced joyfully that this year's revenue-generating task had been successfully completed! Hope everyone comes back next year. Of course, I can't say that. He said with deep conviction that he would catch today's criminals no matter where they were in the world. If he fails, he won't come to the station next year! Yes, he was transferred at the end of the year and definitely won't come back next year.
Seeing the police inspector gritting his teeth and cursing on stage, he almost couldn't write a bloody letter and fulfill his grand ambitions. Thea was too lazy to watch these political shows and nodded to Moira from a distance, pulling Felicity to retreat first.
As the two women walked out, they could still hear reporters rushing to ask questions like crazy.
"Mrs. Queen, can you tell us how far your cooperation with the police department went...?"
"Inspector Edward, can you tell us your goals for fighting criminals next year?"
"Detective Lance, do you have anything to say about your youngest daughter disappearing with your older daughter's boyfriend...?"
Thea heard a hurried cry for help in the corridor, and someone vaguely shouted to stop or something like that, hey... this reporter has never been beaten up, right? What pot shouldn't be opened? He works so hard for sales, he's really a tough guy...
After leaving the precinct lobby, the two whispered.
"Felicity, did you record today's scene?"
"Of course, but Batman is very handsome. Thea, do you know his true identity?"
"I didn't know anything about it when we first met. I just knew... he was a man!"
In the coming days, Moira might be seen occasionally in newspapers and on radios. Today we'll talk about the city's future planning, and tomorrow we'll talk about how many criminals were repressed and how much ice and gunpowder was confiscated.
For a moment, Moira felt like a rising star in Star City. Thea wasn't surprised by her mother's sudden burst of enthusiasm. Some people are born for politics but are buried by various realities before. When the opportunity arises, they soar high.
In the former life of the US President, George W. Bush, many people said he had a low IQ and poor academic performance. In fact, he had low grades, but he knew 1/3 of the people at Yale University during his school years and could call them. It's amazing to know the names and hobbies of these people. Many of us only know a few hundred people in real life, which means we have a wide circle of friends. That's his skill.
What surprised Thea was that, due to Moira's inexplicable political enthusiasm, her relationship with Walter Steele took another turn.
She's so busy she can't even take care of her daughter, let alone her boyfriend. Thea supports this. Although Walter is really a good person, marrying is like finding a cheap father for oneself. You may still not accept, so just keep this relationship as lovers!
At this moment, she had just accepted an exclusive interview for a media outlet. Although Moira was very tired, she was very excited. After this period, she clearly realized that she couldn't be a successful businesswoman, or that she didn't have the talent. Some team members had already vaguely suggested that she give up business and try entering politics.
She wanted to ask her family members' opinions on her political career. Of course, she only considered half of the family members in her mind, with Thea as one and Walter as the other half.
"Thea, you've been planning this for a long time and your mother stole your spotlight. You won't blame me, will you?" Moira whispered as mother and daughter lay on the bed. Young people are always happy to be in the spotlight, at least. European and American values encourage this.
"How could it be? If I were on stage, I would have messed everything up a long time ago. Mother, you have at least 90% of the credit for today's situation." This is really the case. Thea just made a few phone calls and spent time with her a few times. When people talk, if there's any credit, it's Felicity's.
Mother and daughter hugged each other. Moira looked into her eyes carefully and found that there was really no resentment, and she heaved a sigh of relief. At first, she just thought it was a normal meeting, but she didn't expect there to be such a big change in the future. If this matter ruined her relationship with her daughter, it would be very unworthy in her opinion.
"What do you think... if I enter politics? I've been very comfortable and happy lately. It's a completely different feeling from being in the group." After Moira finished speaking, she looked at Thea eagerly.
Great, I finally led you to this path! Thea wanted to bang her head against the wall and scream that her own mother was like a human spirit, and the two of them met every day, making it harder for her to deceive than Malcolm. Through a lot of hard work and luck, she finally managed to advance her political career.
In the coming days, Moira might be seen occasionally in newspapers and on radios. Today we'll talk about the city's future planning, and tomorrow we'll talk about how many criminals were repressed and how much ice and gunpowder was confiscated.
For a moment, Moira felt like a rising star in Star City. Thea wasn't surprised by her mother's sudden burst of enthusiasm. Some people are born for politics but are buried by various realities before. When the opportunity arises, they soar high.
In the former life of the US President, George W. Bush, many people said he had a low IQ and poor academic performance.

Many of us only know a few hundred people in real life, which means we have a wide circle of friends. That's his skill.
I guess so in my heart, but I can't speak the truth, go ahead, I can't wait to be the mayor's daughter!
Thea could only smile calmly and said, "It doesn't matter. If you think politics is right for you, try it. Maybe I can still be majestic when you become a high-ranking official! Besides, if you leave the group, your relationship with Walter ...?"
If an Asian mother and daughter were talking about the stepfather while hiding under the covers, the scene would definitely be weird, but it's common here.
Moira had already thought about this problem before. Although none of the politicians are clean, they all maintain a bright appearance. Now that her husband and son have passed away, it's a good time to play the tragedy card. If news of the new marriage suddenly breaks out, I can't say that my reputation has been completely ruined, but it's not much better.
After some hesitation, "Let's keep the status quo for now..."
Thea immediately understood that this was the American version of wielding a sword of wisdom to cut off love! This woman is really determined and probably had the same mindset when she sent her husband and son to sea.
In my heart, I cried for a moment of silence for the kind Black Uncle Walter. His stepfather's crisis was finally resolved. In the original plot, they didn't have any crystallization of love, but if their butterfly wings flapped, they would buy one for themselves. What should I do if my younger siblings assume? Although Thea doesn't discriminate against black people, she would probably be very distressed if she had a younger black brother or sister.
There are three biological parents among three siblings, and the relationship between a biological mother is chaotic. It's better to end such a bloody plot at its inception.
My mother entered politics and my stepfather stepped back, both goals were achieved and we finally got married! Thea kissed her mother's cheek hard, "Your child..." Moira wasn't annoyed by her sudden outburst, but instead gave her an affectionate pat.
In the following days, Moira began gradually handing over the affairs of the group to Walter. Although the two were a bit unsure about the marriage at this stage, they still had enough confidence and were ready to let him take over as the group's president.
Although Walter didn't know why Moira suddenly became cold towards him, he just thought he wasn't determined enough and had a fake attitude, so he was prepared to persevere.
At this moment, Thea was also handing over her work because her acceptance letter from Princeton had arrived. Unlike China, where there were opening ceremonies and leadership speeches, she could come and go at any time and could graduate if she earned enough credits.
She handed over all the work of the software department to Felicity and reported to the group to let her take over her position. Felicity was furious when she found out that she herself was required to write facial recognition software from 1.0 to 6.0.
She wouldn't do such a boring and uninspiring job. Since the Queen family has a lot of money, they probably don't mind spending a little more. On the first day after taking office, they hired thirty employees for the software department... The original three subordinates Each will be promoted and each person will lead ten. Let's write slowly.
Thea's skateboard adjustment is in its final stage, and she's ready to finish before leaving Star City and give her new toy a good test! She has no choice but to go crazy because of her poverty. This technological weapon costs a lot of money! Her little money had already been spent long ago. If Felicity hadn't seen her so embarrassed and often given her meals or something, she would have starved to death!
"Thea, why did you call it Red Arrow Skate? What do you think of Green Arrow Skate?" The two women finally discussed what color to paint.
"Red is so good, isn't red for passion, sun, and joy?" Thea thought green should be left for her brother.
Felicity held a pen in her mouth, frowned, and said vaguely: "Red isn't the color of violent blood?"
"How do you understand that!? I also think green represents decadence and obsolescence!"
