Upon seeing her struggle to free herself, Damian smiled and shook his head before approaching her.
"I'll untie you, but don't attack anymore, okay?" Damian said, looking at her, noticing the fierceness in her eyes and her reluctance to accept defeat.
"Fine," Wonder Woman said, staring directly into Damian's eyes while gritting her teeth.
Damian's hands turned into barely visible shadows as he untied Wonder Woman's wrists in an instant before tossing the lasso aside.
"For the record, it was self-defense," Damian said, mocking the woman.
"Then why did you hit Batman?" Wonder Woman said, not accepting his words.
"What are you talking about? That's how we greet each other where I co from," Damian said, making a pretty bad joke while laughing at his own joke.
"Alright, good luck, see you around," Damian said before floating into the air and flying away.
For now, he would find a hotel and look around until everything was ready for his return.
Wonder Woman watched him go before looking away in frustration. It didn't feel good to be defeated like that.
She quickly went to help her fallen comrades.
"Diana, where is he?" Batman growled imdiately upon waking up with her help.
"He left after giving us a beating," Diana said, sighing as she sat beside him.
The only one she was really worried about was Batman, who was just an incredibly fragile normal human.
She noticed that Damian asured his blows, so the others would be fine, though she was astonished to see soone stronger than Clark.
"What do you think?" Batman said, holding his forehead. It really hurt; he felt like he couldn't even think.
"At least it seems he's not entirely bad. He could have easily killed us," Diana said, shaking her head.
"Or maybe he's just incredibly arrogant," Batman said. Just because he didn't kill them didn't an he was a good person.
"We need to track and monitor him. If we have another conflict, we need to be prepared."
"We'll analyze his strengths and create a plan," Batman said, standing up with a groan of pain.
"Sure," Diana said, shaking her head as the rest of the league mbers started to gather.
Superman flew in and landed next to Diana, with traces of blood on his face, but with the sun over him, he had already fully recovered.
"Did he leave?" Clark said, looking around before looking at Diana.
"Yes," Diana said, sighing.
"Are you alright?" Clark said, looking at her, noticing several scratches.
"Don't worry, it's nothing," Diana said casually.
"Man, I hope nobody recorded that," Green Lantern said, landing next to the group.
"That would make a really interesting front page," Flash said, groaning slightly as he stood up, his abdon still hurting from the hit.
"Let's just go back," Batman said, sighing. He really wanted to take off his mask, but he knew this wasn't the place.
….
Damian ascended and quickly flew towards what he knew as New York.
Besides being the most familiar place to him, he was also curious if there would be significant changes in the city's infrastructure compared to Marvel.
To his surprise, he found things were quite different.
After hypnotizing a random passerby, he obtained so information.
To his even greater surprise, the famous cities of Gotham and tropolis were actually close by.
So, he imdiately changed his mind and flew over the cities.
As expected, they were truly worlds apart despite being considerably close to each other.
Gotham City had a gloomy look, with many places appearing dirty and abandoned, not to ntion the number of criminal gangs he saw from the air.
tropolis was different; it seed like a bright city, completely peaceful and sowhat advanced in terms of technology.
Since Gotham City was the closest to him, he landed quickly and started walking around, looking at his surroundings.
He could feel many eyes on him, evaluating him, yet no one approached. Even if they hadn't seen him fly, his appearance alone was very unusual, and in a world like DC, soone unusual was what normal criminals feared the most.
Damian could only purse his lips, feeling that the thugs had very good instincts; no one ca to ss with him.
"Boring," Damian murmured before no longer paying attention to his surroundings.
Damian kept walking and ventured deeper into the more dangerous areas of Gotham, thinking of eliminating so of the trash since soone else didn't dare to do it.
And maybe it was a bit childish of him, but he was also doing it to provoke him.
He wondered if he would encounter a certain clown and if eliminating him would make Batman sad.
While walking, he suddenly heard two sets of footsteps coming towards him from the alley to his left up ahead.
One of the steps sounded very loud, clearly made by heels, while the other steps sounded a bit slower.
"I'm telling you, Ivy, that idiot said to co back with him, but I kicked him in the balls and left," said a clearly feminine voice sowhat amusingly.
Damian, who had not yet seen the owner of the voice, could imdiately guess who it was.
"Harl, there's soone up ahead," said another voice, interrupting the narration.
Damian stopped and waited for the two people to co out of the alley.
Soon, two won erged. One of them wore a... well, it was hard to describe her outfit. Her hair was tied in two blonde pigtails, each tip a different color.
The other woman dressed more normally, though she stood out a lot. She had green skin and red hair, and her face was really beautiful or rather seductive.
Damian imdiately knew they were Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy.
The two won were imdiately surprised to see Damian.
"Wow, he's handso. Ivy, let's keep him," Harley said, giving a big smile before looking at Ivy for a second and approaching Damian animatedly. She stood on tiptoes before looking closely at his face.
"Harl, wait," Ivy said, quickly approaching and pulling Harley's hand.
Ivy looked at Damian with suspicion, feeling there was sothing strange about him. He felt dangerous.
She was an expert in flowers, and the most beautiful flowers were always the most dangerous.
"What's wrong?" Harley said, looking confused at Ivy.
"Hey, pretty boy, what's your na? Listen, these streets are dangerous. Are you lost? By the way, be careful, they might rob you or, in your case, even rape you," Harley said, speaking very quickly.
"Really? Who could rape ?" Damian said, unable to stop himself from chuckling at Harley's words.
"If I keep looking at you, I might do it. Has anyone told you that you're obscenely handso? Wait, are you my hallucination? I haven't drunk or done drugs today. Ivy, can you see him too?" Harley said, looking srized at Damian before opening her eyes wide in surprise and looking at Ivy.
"I see him too," Ivy said, looking at Harley speechlessly.
"Well, that's normal. We drink and do drugs together," Harley said, looking at Ivy before nodding as if it made sense.
"You're not high right now, and that person you see does exist," Ivy said, sighing at Harley's antics.
"Wow," Harley said, looking at Damian before getting lost in her thoughts.
Damian could only let out a laugh upon hearing Harley; she was really crazy, but sohow he didn't dislike it.
"Hey, even your laugh sounds nice. Are you an angel? Or a god? There are rumors that Wonder Woman is a demigoddess. Maybe you're her daddy?" Harley said, reacting to his laugh before proposing a hypothesis, which she almost seed to believe she had discovered a great secret.
"Girl, you're funny," Damian said, looking at her.
"Girl?" Harley murmured, confused.
"Who are you?" Ivy said, looking at Damian. Just by his appearance, it was impossible to say he was a normal human, which was probably why he hadn't been attacked.
Those guys were like rats who could sll danger. Faced with an anomaly like Damian, they definitely wouldn't dare do anything.
"I'm Damian, let's say a tourist. How about you show so interesting places in the city?" Damian said, smiling.
"I'm actually a bit bus—" Ivy said, trying to tactfully decline when Harley suddenly jumped towards Damian and grabbed his arm.
"Co on, cutie, I'll show you everything," Harley said, looking at Damian cheerfully.
Ivy could only sigh before covering her face for a mont.
Harley started dragging Damian around, showing him the places she knew.
Ivy could only follow them helplessly. Although she didn't trust Damian, she couldn't leave Harley alone.
"Look, an old lady who takes care of orphans and has many cats lives there."
"Oh, they sell cheap weapons in that house, though they sotis jam," Harley said, pointing to another place as they walked down the street.
"This is the bar we usually go to. Although they water down the whiskey, it's cheaper, so I guess one thing for another," Harley said, laughing as she pointed to a bar about 100 ters away.
It was easily visible by the neon sign lighting up the surroundings, and it was where they had planned to go before eting Damian.
"Why? I don't think you guys lack money," Damian said, looking at Harley curiously.
"Ivy's ex usually goes there, although they broke up, they still talk," Harley said quietly, though not enough for Ivy not to hear.
"Hey! I already told you she's not my ex; we just slept together a few tis," Ivy said, imdiately frowning upon hearing her.
Harley just giggled while turning her head to look at Ivy, annoyed.
"So, how about we go sowhere interesting? Like a villain's lair," Damian said, looking at Harley.
"Oh? Are you a hero? Do you want to arrest them? Wait, are you going to arrest ?" Harley said, looking at Damian as her mind worked quickly.
"Do I look like a hero?" Damian said, looking at her with a slight smile.
"You don't look like one," Harley said, nodding slightly as she saw his beautiful but intimidating crimson eyes.
"Then let's have so fun, let's rob so idiots," Harley said, suddenly excited.
"Are you coming, Ivy?" Harley said, turning to look at the woman in question.
"Sure," Ivy said, sighing. If she didn't go, who would protect Harley?
"Let's bother the Penguin. He stole so money from a while ago," Harley said resentfully.
"Where to?" Damian said, looking at her.
"The dock, let's go," Harley said, pointing in a direction before starting to walk.
Ivy also started moving, getting closer to Harley, not without first glancing at Damian.
"Why walk? It will take us too long to get there," Damian said, smiling before levitating while lifting both of them off the ground.
"What the heck! Whoa," Harley said, flailing her arms unnecessarily trying to balance herself.
Ivy frowned deeply, as being off the ground severely limited her abilities. She couldn't help but look at Damian with alarm.
"Don't worry, we'll get there quickly," Damian said, laughing at Harley's antics.
"Wow, you can fly," Harley said, amazed, looking at Damian, while also noticing how the buildings quickly passed below her.
In a few seconds, they had already reached Gotham's port.
"Wow, if I could fly, they definitely wouldn't catch us after a robbery," Harley said, looking at Ivy.
"Anyway, let's deal with that Penguin idiot," Harley said, giving a big smile.
"Are you going to do it like this? Empty-handed?" Damian said, raising his eyebrows a bit.
"I'll just take the weapon from the first idiot I find," Harley said, shrugging.
Damian looked at Harley before quickly scanning the entire place; there were about thirty people.
He quickly analyzed the ntal patterns of each person to ensure there were no innocents.
Not too surprisingly, there were all kinds of people; so seed pretty bad while others were just trying to survive.
Damian suddenly made a bat appear in his hand, knowing Harley's tastes clearly.
He easily placed a few enchantnts on it. The bat would strengthen Harley while increasing her damage against people with negative brainwaves, while against innocents, the damage would be significantly reduced.
Harley wasn't a good person either, but you couldn't exactly call her bad. She was crazy but also not.
It was complicated.
Both won were surprised to see Damian pull sothing out of nowhere. Harley even shalessly approached and started patting Damian's body, as if wanting to see if he was hiding things under his clothes.
Damian took Harley's wrist, which was going a bit too south, before placing the bat in her hand.
"Here, it's a gift. Use it well," Damian said, smiling at the crazy woman.
Harley's attention was incredibly fleeting. She had been focused on patting Damian's body and realized his muscles felt pretty good. Suddenly, her attention was completely drawn to the bat Damian placed in her hand.
It was a beautifully red and black bat that matched her outfit perfectly.
"Wow, what a bat," Harley said, holding it with both hands and noticing it felt different.
She couldn't help but swing it a few tis, creating a sharp sound.
"Thanks," Harley said, giving Damian a big smile.
"Sure, go smash so bad guys' heads," Damian said, chuckling.
"But I'm bad too, should I smash my own head?" Harley said, looking at her bat with a thoughtful expression.
"I don't think you're that bad," Damian said, chuckling as he looked at her.
Ivy's gaze fixed on Damian's expression, and her caution towards the mysterious man lessened a bit.
