Captain Atom took a deep breath and said to the other party.
After Deathstroke left, Nightwing looked at Captain Atom, wanting to say something, but Captain Atom immediately cut him off.
"If you want to apologize, there's no need. Your mission is also very difficult."
"I understand."
Nightwing said to Captain Atom with a complex expression, "I can stay too. If the two of us attract the guards' attention here, it can also reduce the pressure on them."
"No need, it seems you don't trust my strength."
Captain Atom rejected Nightwing's suggestion.
"As long as I want, the energy accumulated in my body can destroy the entire Earth."
The wounds on Captain Atom's body slowly healed.
He said to Nightwing, "Even if Homelander appears before me, I am still confident I can defeat him!"
Nightwing didn't speak, but he took what the other party said as bragging.
After all, this guy just now was almost blown up by a bomb and couldn't get up, and now he says he can defeat Homelander.
Although you looked cool when you pushed Green Arrow away just now, bragging like this is a very bad behavior.
Nightwing had a clear understanding of Homelander's strength.
From the moment he started investigating Homelander, the deeper he delved, the more despair he felt.
Possessing Super Hearing, Super Vision, flight ability, able to demolish a building with one punch, and effortlessly lift a city from the ocean to throw it into the desert—such abilities are simply beyond human imagination.
Moreover, during the "Metropolis Battle," he had witnessed Homelander and Superman jointly confronting General Zod.
That battle, which almost destroyed the entire Metropolis, made almost everyone believe that Homelander and Superman were invincible.
This idea was deeply rooted in the minds of all Americans, which is also why Homelander was able to quickly seize national power.
In Nightwing's view, the only one who could oppose Homelander now was Superman.
But Superman didn't appear, and he couldn't ally with him, so he could only rely on Penguin's private help to contact the old government and join this organization to fight Homelander together.
"Perhaps."
Many thoughts flashed through Nightwing's mind in an instant, but he didn't show them. After a slight smile at Captain Atom, he said, "I have to go, good luck."
With that, Nightwing quickly caught up with Deathstroke and Green Arrow.
Their plan this time was to rescue people, so they had to rescue these metahumans before alarming Homelander.
So time was pressing, and he couldn't afford to waste any more time here.
After Nightwing left, Captain Atom looked at the prison guards rushing towards him, his eyes sharpening.
He had not lied to Nightwing.
His ability was to absorb energy, but once a certain limit was reached, any excess energy would be released (the amount of release and absorption could be self-determined).
However, this was not entirely beneficial to him; if the energy of protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus combined during the absorption process, it would create a powerful nuclear force, which would cause him to lose control of molecular stability.
Therefore, in the DC Universe, although Captain Atom was powerful, he was not recognized by other superheroes; he even failed to join the Justice League.
The reason was that the members of the Justice League were full of doubt and distrust regarding his abilities.
In a certain major event in a parallel world, Doctor Arkham struck Captain Atom, causing Captain Atom's Death and a nuclear explosion, which also signified the fall of the West Coast, becoming the Arkham Wasteland ever since.
In the DC Universe reboot of the "Flashpoint Event," that devastating nuclear explosion was also caused by Captain Atom's self-detonation.
In short, this was a guy who could inflict damage on enemies but also potentially cause greater harm to his own people.
On the other side, Nightwing had already caught up with Deathstroke and Green Arrow.
"We must act quickly!"
Deathstroke drew his weapon and said to the two.
"You two rookies, just do the support work."
Deathstroke said to Nightwing and Green Arrow in an impolite tone.
He didn't consider these two inexperienced newcomers as his partners; in his opinion, it would be enough if these two rookies didn't hold him back.
As for synergistic combat comrades.
He had no habit of fighting in groups; he always preferred to work alone.
