Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
97. Escape from the CCP

The roots of the tree that gushed out from the ground grew thicker and longer.

It was even split into two branches, with the thickest roots sweeping towards Batman, who could only dodge backwards.

The slender roots of the tree gently protruded Mathison forward, and then slammed her handcuffs, causing them to break.

Then the roots gently wrapped around Mathison's waist and pulled her into the cave made by the roots as they came out of the ground.

After a while, the ground stopped shaking, and the radiating tree roots no longer grew.

Batman walked to the side of the cave and peered down.

"explosion!"

With a loud bang on the ground, Iron Man landed at this location, as Batcycle drove on with Iron Man automatically.

"What just happened?"

Tony asked Batman as he watched the scene of the disaster being destroyed by the roots of a large tree.

"Someone saved the Phantom Kid."

Batman insists that if Kid himself had this ability, he wouldn't be desperate alone right now.

"Did Kid have an accomplice?"

According to Tony's understanding, Kid always committed crimes independently.

"Not sure."

Batman walks over to the other side and picks up a special broken handcuff with a space stabilizing effect.

“Truely, ordinary materials cannot carry too much energy. These handcuffs are too easy to be destroyed by outside forces.”.

Although these handcuffs were made by Batman, the design idea was not fully resolved by him.

But long ago, he met a friend whose personality was so bad that people couldn't wait to kill him, and popularized him with a certain aspect of knowledge, which allowed Batman to successfully make these handcuffs.

The enemies he encountered in the past did not need him to use this knowledge until the Phantom Kid appeared. Fortunately, Batman has not forgotten that knowledge.

“How did you know that Phantom Kid would use a doll to catch my attention? Even Jarvis didn't realize that it was a doll.”

At this moment, Tony asked what was on his mind.

“In Gotham, Kid will use the doll to come out whenever he commits a crime, and the only place he has a chance to release the doll is.”.

"Because of this?"

"Because of this."

Batman said blankly, and Tony did not know if what he said was true or false.

In fact, of course, Batman does not only rely on this to determine the Phantom Kid's plan.

The real reason is Mathison used Bullet Time.

In the first duel between Batman and Kid in Gotham, he understands Bullet Time once.

Although he still did not know how Kid managed to reach that strange state, Batman's body naturally recorded that strange feeling.

The feeling was as if time suddenly stopped, and the moment Iron Man broke through the billboard, Batman had the same feeling.

He did not yet have a good method to counterattack, but at least he could be sure that the Phantom Kid must have done something at that. The most likely thing is to use dolls.

That's why Batman plans to create a dummy for Batcycle to follow Iron Man.

And he used the building where Kid took the doll off to deduce the best escape route, then kept his position and waited for his prey…

In that deep cave, which was at least more than 100 meters underground, the slender tree roots made Mathison move inside quickly.

Mathison's been guessing who did all this.

Except for Poison Ivy, Pamela, no one in this world could freely manipulate plants.

Soon, Mathison felt herself rising from the ground.

“They will soon find this place. Let's get out of here as soon as possible!”

He is in a strange state at the moment. His original white skin was now covered with a light green layer, and even his red hair had been affected, turning it deep red.

As he became more proficient in his abilities, his skin color became darker and darker.

But when he did not use his strength, his skin color remained normal.

When Mathison had just come out to look at her, Pamela subconsciously covered her face and turned around, while also letting go of the use of her abilities. He doesn't want Kid to see his face when he uses his abilities.

After turning around, Pamela had turned back to normal.

This location was already beyond the reach of Stark Expo, but not far away.

Although there was no supervision around here, the appearance of the tree roots earlier had caused a great disturbance. Being able to find it by following the cave, it didn't take long for him to reach their location.

“Thank you for saving me.”

Mathison sincerely thanked Pamela. If it wasn't for his rescue, his identity would have been known to Batman.

Although Bruce might not harm him, he would definitely take the opportunity to blackmail him into Robin, which was worse than killing him.

“Quick, Son. Not much time left. We can pretend to be husband and wife.. or lover..

As Pamela suggested, her face turned red for some reason.

Without further ado, Mathison doesn't care about her fit and soon puts on the high-end suit she's been preparing for a long time and a precious watch.

Then Mathison grabs Pamela's hand naturally.

“Why did you save me? Did you know that saving me would cause you a lot of trouble?

The two left here quickly, Mathison asked attentively on the way, but she immediately regretted it afterwards.

Pamela was surprised, then her eyes quickly became firm.

“I've been in love with you ever since you saved me from that sinful city!”

"You know I never let anyone else see my true face, and there will never be an exception."

Mathison looked into Pamela's eyes intently.

“My footprints definitely don't just stop in two cities of Gotham and New York. The whole United States and the whole world is my stage. If you fall in love with me, you are destined not to get the happiness you deserve.”

"I don't mind being with you, as you can see, I have the ability to help you ..."

At this point, Pamela suddenly stopped. He thought about the mutation in his body when he used his ability. He did not know if he would, one day, change his skin color to a green that could not be restored to normal.

At that moment, he must have looked ugly…

"Forget over! I Don't want to bind your feelings, You saved me once before, and I saved you once. We even."

Pamela pretended to be calm.

Mathison did not speak, but suddenly stopped, and then placed her hand on Pamela's shoulder.

"What do you want to do?"

Pamela blushed and asked, as her heart pounded.

"There will be a surveillance camera not far ahead, and you will also need a little disguise, otherwise they will likely find you."

Mathison said calmly.

"Huh? Ah, you're right.”

pamela was disappointed.

Mathison placed her hand on Pamela's shoulder, and then, with a strong push, Pamela turned around involuntarily.

Later, she becomes a young noblewoman in an elegant evening dress, matching Mathison's appearance.

"Don't think too much now, wait until you get out of here."

Mathison said softly.

Pamela nodded, and the two of them left without saying a word...
