Chapter 248 Crazy Journey (7.2 Chapter 2
After completing the daily fixed fitness tasks in his room and taking a shower, Damian didn't need to climb into bed, knowing that he would definitely suffer from insomnia tonight.
Not because of repressed desire/desire, he had just done meditation in the shower.The reason for insomnia... is actually because of excitement and excitement.
He and Harley... are back together, even if she hasn't recovered her memory yet.Apart from ecstasy, he also had some regrets.
It's a bittersweet result.
Under the quiet night sky, Damian subconsciously walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out thoughtfully at the huge swimming pool that made him harvest.
He hadn't expected it at all, and Harry hadn't slept either.She was wearing a bathrobe and was sitting cross-legged on a lounge chair by the pool, holding a tablet in her hand.
Damian opened the French windows and walked to the pool.
"Hey, can't sleep?" He asked softly.
He discovers that Harley is reading on the tablet what he obtained by hacking into the Batcave after the trip began.
There are the latest criminal developments in Gotham, and there are some old dossiers waiting to be retrieved.
He also saw a bottle of red wine and a wine glass on the small table beside the recliner.
He frowned—because the bottle of red wine was half empty.
He had no recollection of Harry having a drinking habit.
"Red wine?" Damian sat down on another recliner, "I remember that the legal drinking age in Spain is 18."
Harry put down the tablet and looked at him quietly, "I bought it with the gun you gave me—maybe the salesperson didn't believe it at all, but she sold it to me anyway."
"Want to chat?" Damian didn't criticize, but asked softly.
Harry sighed softly, and put his hand on the tablet, "I think about it, for us..."
She shook her head and immediately changed her words, "No, it's actually for myself."
Damian's frown deepened, "I don't mind, we can start from scratch. You don't need to worry about it."
Harry was still shaking his head, "It's not just because of that...I think I'm useless."
She cut off the reassurance Damian was about to export.
"Don't comfort me, Damian, it's true, I will have this thought no matter what," she bit her lower lip, "It won't work like this."
"I want to be who I was in these case files, the confident, brave, trained me who fights in the night and fights crime. I really want to..." she trembled.
This is the first time that Harley has expressed her desire for those memories and abilities so clearly and clearly. Has she always been deeply troubled by this?
Seeing the girl's lost and sad appearance... Damian blurted out impulsively——
"I have a crazy idea."
But after he finished speaking, he regretted it, he shouldn't...
Of course Harry heard what he just said, even though he desperately wanted to pretend he hadn't said it.
She looked up, a faint hope ignited in her eyes.
"...could have put us both in," Damian added.
"I like crazy. Go ahead, Damian."
Damian pinched his brows in frustration. If Ah Fu and his father found out, they would probably beat him to death.
But the hope in Harry's eyes was too bright...
His mouth was ahead of his brain, and he said it directly and firmly——
"Let's borrow grandfather's pool to take a bath."
He watched Harry's expression closely, as long as she showed a hint of timidity and retreat...
"Will this work?" Harry's eyes widened, and he even looked a little excited, "I know that Jason's proposal to steal pool water was rejected by Grandpa Afu..."
Damian didn't find any of the "timidity" and "retreat" he was looking for, which made him slightly disappointed, but he couldn't suppress a vague relief.
"Todd has a poor imagination," he shook his head. "Todd only talks about stealing pool water—but how much can he steal at a time?"
"And I can steal your whole body...and it was the Lazarus pool that reminded Todd of everything after the short-term amnesia caused by the resurrection."*
Harry's hands were gripping the edge of the recliner tightly, his chest heaving violently.
"Then what are we waiting for..." she trembled.
"Do you know what this means, we are going to sneak into the heartland of the League of Assassins, just you and me." Damian was making the last futile attempt, hoping she would think again.
"I'm not afraid, Damian, take me."
****************
It was too quiet, too smooth - Damian had this lingering sense of unease from the time they entered the League of Assassins' sphere of influence to the time they sneaked all the way to the central bastion.
There were only ten guards he stunned by anesthesia needles along the way.
Mother in ambush?
Holding Harry with one hand, he sorted out all kinds of large or small guns/arms and bows/crossbows on his back. Behind a bunker, he carefully observed their final destination—the location of Lazarus Pool. cave.
There are only two patrolling assassins at the entrance of the cave. With Damian's ability, he can even solve it with bare hands.
"We're almost there," he turned, whispering to Harry behind him, "are you ready?"
Harley also had a gun in his hand that he had given her for self-defense.She tightened the weapon in her hand, swallowed, and nodded to Damian.
"Wait for me here in the bunker, and meet me at the entrance of the cave in a minute." He kissed her forehead, left the bunker alone, and lurked towards the cave.
During this long minute, Harry wanted to probe several times, but Damian had made it clear before that if he didn't carry out his order, it was likely to cause trouble for both of them...
She silently counted to 60, looked quietly from behind the cover, and found that two guards had fallen, and Damian was waving at her at the entrance of the cave.
"You are amazing!" Harry said sincerely after meeting him in the cave.
Damian didn't speak, just nodded thoughtfully, everything went so smoothly...
But he didn't want Harry to worry.
In the faint echo of footsteps, led by Damian, the two found the ultimate goal of the trip - Lazarus Pool in the tortuous cave.
Seeing the light green liquid, Harry swallowed, clenched his fist and let go.
Everything will come to fruition.
She looked up and said softly to Damian, "Then... I'm going."
She was one step away from the pool when she was suddenly pulled by him.
Harry turned his head in doubt, but Damian didn't say a word, he just picked her up decisively and horizontally, as if she didn't have any weight.
He hugged her and entered the pool with her.
"See you later..." Damian said to Harry, bowing his head.
"See you later." She nodded to him in his arms, conveying hope.
He slowly lowered her under the water.
She closed her eyes, feeling the pool of water gradually engulfing her body—anxiety, anticipation.
The author has something to say:
*In the comic "Red Hood—The Lost Years", Jason recovered his memory in the pool (in short, this pool is quite versatile..._(:з」∠)_)
*Mr. Mi will be overwhelmed tomorrow.Of course, the car is impossible... _(:з」∠)_ Pull the lights when the time comes.
