Chapter 171 I have no father and no mother
Diana's plan was extremely thorough.
At least when Bruce saw the small raft, he had an urge to turn back to Paradise Island and never come out.
"Are you sure we can swim across the ocean with this?"
Bruce asked in surprise, "If it encounters a little wind and waves, it will capsize immediately, right?"
“The Amazon ship will not capsize.”
Diana was extremely confident. "Besides, it doesn't matter even if we capsize. I have many friends in the sea who can take us to the shore."
Wonder Woman's superpower is the ability to talk to animals.
This naturally includes fish.
She has been on Paradise Island for so many years that she knows all the fish around her. Whenever she catches one, she can talk to it about the stories of their ancestors.
"Katum."
Bruce felt a little strange. "Did you tell me before that in the Justice League, there is a superhero whose main ability is to communicate with fish?"
"You're insulting Aquaman again!" Katum suddenly warned, "I'm a fan of Aquaman, so watch your words!"
Bruce was stunned.
What did he say?
Isn't it Katoomba the Owl who laughs at Aquaman's abilities every day?
He actually has the nerve to call himself a fan of Aquaman?
Katum was still indignant: "Even if you didn't mean to do it this time, if I hear you insult the Sea King again, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the Sea King!"
No one can insult Owl's favorite superhero!
At this time, Diana had already dragged the boat out. She didn't need anyone's help and lifted the boat above her head with one hand.
"All right!"
She clapped her hands and said excitedly, "We can go now!"
But Bruce suddenly said, "Are you sure you want to leave now?"
He pointed outside the dock: "You're leaving without saying goodbye to your family?"
Diana looked in the direction Bruce pointed, and then the expression on her face froze.
Her mentor and aunt, Antiope, was standing quietly on a high ground not far away, the moonlight shining down, just like the warm look she gave Diana.
"Antiop..."
Diana was suddenly a little at a loss, like a child who had done something bad behind her parents' backs and was then discovered.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally walked over carefully.
"Are you here to take me back?" Diana said with her head down, "Did my mother send you?"
"Yes and no."
Antiope suddenly smiled, reached out his hand and stroked Diana's face.
"It is true that your mother sent me here, but not to take you back."
She said, "You are determined to leave. I can't keep you. And once you leave, it will be difficult for you to come back to this island."
Diana was a little bit incredulous.
Her mother had strictly forbidden her to leave before.
"How could she stop you from doing what you really wanted to do? She just felt that humans were not worthy of you.
"She should be in some corner right now, watching you silently."
Antiope lowered her head, took off the crown on her head and put it on Diana's head.
"It's quite suitable." She said with a smile.
Diana stretched out her hand, her fingertips touching the crown on her forehead, and a warm power was spreading.
"Remember, fight for those who cannot fight."
Antiope finally said, "Don't let your persistence over the years go to waste!"
"I will!"
At this moment, Diana's original dissatisfaction with her mother, mentor, and tribe members completely disappeared.
She threw herself into Antiope's arms and hugged her tightly.
"Good boy, good boy..."
Antiope patted Diana's back gently, just like when he coaxed her to sleep as a child.
……
Inside the dock, Bruce and Katum watched the scene from afar.
"You must be envious."
The owl suddenly said, "When you left Gotham, no one saw you off."
“I don’t know who it’s because of.”
Bruce curled his lips, his heart was calm.
His heart has been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations, and he won't be broken by a few words.
Diana had finished saying goodbye to her family. She raised her head and waved in an empty direction.
She had a feeling that her mother was there watching her.
The five thousand year old girl, who was about to leave her hometown for the first time, wiped away the tears from her eyes and returned to the dock with a determined expression.
"Let's go!"
She said, "Let's go kill Ares!"
"Okay, Captain!" Bruce nodded, "We will definitely succeed!"
"Captain?" Diana said in surprise, "What are you thinking? Of course you will be the one to drive the boat!"
……
The boat shook and slowly left Paradise Island.
After passing through Zeus's protective force field, the silhouette of Paradise Island disappeared. Diana looked back and could no longer see her hometown.
"I'm actually not very good at driving this kind of boat."
On the other side of the boat, Bruce paddled, "If it's a yacht, I can drive it."
Katum was standing behind Bruce and suddenly flapped his wings.
"Hurry up and work!" said the owl. "If you slack off again, I'll whip you!"
"shut up!"
Bruce cursed.
In fact, it was impossible for them to actually cross the sea by paddling.
As long as they were a little away from Paradise Island, the boat would enter the ocean current, and with the power of nature, they could easily float to the seaside.
Bruce can finally take a break.
Although he was not very tired. At this time, Diana untied the package behind her, and a sword and a shield fell out with a clang.
"I prepared this for you."
She said to Bruce, "Although they are not as good as the ones I have, they are also the top weapons in Amazon."
Bruce picked up the sword and officially became a melee wizard.
But he didn't need the shield.
"I have a shield!"
Bruce reached out and pulled out a shield from Katoom's feathers.
It depicts a Holy Grail guarded by twelve knightly swords.
"It's a Hogwarts heirloom!"
Bruce said, "It comes from Archmage Merlin. It is a holy relic left by the Knights of the Round Table. It is the round table where they held their meetings back then."
"Oh?"
Diana naturally believed Bruce's lies.
"This shield does look extraordinary. It seems that your magic school is also very powerful."
"Of course." Bruce nodded.
Although the story is false, the strength of the shield is real.
This is Captain America's vibranium shield.
The boat drifted slowly along with the ocean current, and the night deepened.
Diana lay on the bed, looked at Bruce leaning against the edge of the boat, and said, "Aren't you tired of sleeping sitting there?"
She patted the seat next to her and said, "It's very spacious here. Why don't you sleep over here? Just like this little owl."
Katoom was already sleeping there.
Bruce shook his head: "This is not good. In human society, men and women don't sleep together casually, at least..."
He wanted to continue explaining, but Diana suddenly asked back: "Didn't you say you are not a man?"
"this--"
Bruce choked on the rest of his words.
"Okay, come to sleep!"
Diana shook her head and said, "I don't mind what you mind, it's really embarrassing."
Bruce took a deep breath.
"Okay, that's what you said."
Bruce felt offended, so he didn't stand up and just walked across the deck.
Then he picked up the owl, which was sleeping peacefully with its wings folded on his chest, threw it to the other side of the boat, and lay down.
"That's right."
Diana smiled and said, "You are just a little boy, why are you so reserved? We Amazons don't care about that. We are always straightforward."
Bruce didn't know how to respond to this.
He clasped his hands on his chest and lay quietly, able to smell the faint scent of Diana.
Bruce stared straight at the night sky.
"Waste!" Zurna suddenly spoke again.
But he did not remain rampant for long, as Katum II followed suit. Bruce only heard a scream, and then Zurna was silent.
Diana was also looking at the night sky. The stars seemed to correspond to different gods.
"I don't have a father."
Diana suddenly said, "My mother made me out of clay, and then Zeus gave me life."
"is it?"
Bruce racked his brains to think of how to answer, but he had no training in this area, and Katum, who had patted his chest before, was sleeping like a dead pig again.
After thinking it over, he could only say, "I don't have a father or a mother either."
Diana nodded: "Then you win."
Bruce felt that the topic was a bit strange and he thought he might have said something wrong.
"Let's get back to Zeus."
Bruce said, "I heard that humans were created by Zeus. In this case, Zeus, who gave you life, can actually be considered your father."
"I dare not think so."
Diana said, "Besides, Zeus is a benevolent person. Even if he is my father, he can't give me the love I want."
"So, you feel lonely sometimes?"
Bruce suddenly turned around and looked at Diana.
"I did when I was little," Diana said, "but then I devoted myself to training and that thought faded away."
“Distraction is a good way to do it.”
Bruce said, "When my parents just passed away, I also felt very far away from this world and wanted to leave with them."
"Then how did you get out of it?" Diana asked.
“…I don’t know how to put it.”
Bruce sighed, "Maybe I haven't gotten over it yet, but I'm not as sad as before. I have things I want to do, and I want to save my hometown."
"Great idea, this is your honor."
Diana suddenly reached out and pressed her hand on Bruce's forehead.
"I bless you with the glory of Paradise Island. Your dream will surely come true!"
After blessing, Diana withdrew her hand with a firm look in her eyes. She believed that the blessing just now would definitely work.
"Thank you, Diana," Bruce said.
"That's my job."
Diana stretched out her body contentedly and closed her eyes.
"Well, go to sleep, and I hope we can get to the England you mentioned soon."
"Will do."
Bruce finished speaking and closed his eyes.
Then, the owl, which was obviously fast asleep, suddenly stretched out its wings and gave Bruce a thumbs up.
