Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics

Chapter 155: Back to Robinson Park (part 1)

BONUS Chapter brought to you by, the one and the only, KingSpy25i, enjoy!

 When Bane’s news reached New York, Barbara and Pamela were one of the first to know. 

Worried about the safety of her father and brother, Barbara resolutely chose to return to Gotham to find out what happened. 

If possible, she wanted to stop Bane’s conspiracy as well. 

Due to the lack of time, Barbara put her Batgirl suit in front of Pamela. 

Using the Batclaw gun, she roamed through the tall buildings vigorously. 

Her speed was even faster than the average sports car. 

Although Pamela promised to help Barbara keep her secret, she couldn’t bear to watch Barbara go into danger alone. 

More importantly, Phantom Kid also issued a notice letter to steal Bane’s nuclear bomb. 

Others don’t know that Kid is Mathison, but Pamela does. 

If Barbara went to Gotham, the two would inevitably meet on Bane’s turf. 

Pamela didn’t know why Mathison concealed his identity from Barbara, but since he did, Pamela thought that he must have his reasons. 

So, even if Mathison didn’t ask Pamela to keep it a secret, she would spontaneously help him. 

To Phantom Kid, Pamela will always provide unconditional assistance. 

In Gotham’s current chaotic situation, Mathison may not be able to hide all his flaws in front of Barbara like before. 

He couldn’t even have the time to care about Barbara. 

So, for whatever reason, Pamela had to stay with her. 

Even at the price of revealing her secret. 

Because neither Barbara nor Pamela can safely swim to Gotham under normal circumstances. 

So when Barbara drove a speedboat to the middle of the New York and Gotham waterways and was about to jump into the water, she was shocked to find that Pamela had followed her at some point. 

And this time, Pamela’s appearance had completely changed. 

Her whole body’s skin tone turned green, and even the texture of her skin looked more like a plant. 

She was also wearing strange tights, like a piece of clothes stitched together with leaves, which not only looked incongruous but also very tight. 

Pamela’s bumpy body was highlighted to perfection. 

At this scene, Barbara’s mind instantly thought of the mysterious person who rescued Phantom Kid at the Stark Expo.

She never imagined the mysterious person to actually be her roommate and best friend Pamela. 

But after thinking about it, it’s not really surprising. 

In the beginning, Pamela said that she was unwell and went back to school first, but when Barbara followed her back, she found that she was very healthy. 

Pamela likes Phantom Kid so much; how could she miss Kid’s performance? 

It turns out that she was there to help Kid, and that makes perfect sense. 

Then, Barbara also figured out that Pamela came to Gotham with her, probably to help Phantom Kid deal with Bane. 

What else is there to be said? Since the two have a common goal, they hit it off directly. 

Pamela controlled an infinite extension of plants and brought Barbara to Gotham. 

Robinson Central Park, one of Gotham’s most important landmarks. 

Barbara and Pamela arrived here after leaving Miller Harbor. 

The largest park in Gotham is now completely closed. 

There was no one inside. 

The good news is that none of the gangster forces have taken over here. 

After all, the location of the park is not on the border of Gotham, and it is on the ground, so there is no need to waste manpower here. 

After all, Robinson Park is too big, and it would take a lot of people to fully defend it. 

None of Bane, Penguin, or Black Mask can afford wasting their gangs on it. 

However, in order to avoid the remnants of the GCPD in Gotham City and the rebels who are unwilling to accept the rule of the gang unite, a secret base was established in Robinson Park. 

They blocked every entrance to the park, established a high-voltage power grid in the outer circle and a surveillance system inside. 

Scarecrow even distributed traps all over the park to spread his fear gas. 

In fact, it wasn’t just Robinson Park, but all other locations that the gangs did not want to occupy were made to look like this.

They wanted to fundamentally eliminate the possibility of mass resistance by Gotham citizens. 

Without a stronghold, how are they going to group themselves? 

Robinson Park has become a forbidden place for ordinary people. 

But it is Pamela’s perfect hiding place. 

Robinson Park has the most plant cover in Gotham, where Poison Ivy will gain unprecedented power. 

And Pamela is immune to all toxins, including fear gas. 

The traps set by Scarecrow were also ineffective. 

“Pamela, the gates are all blocked, and the high-voltage grid is blocking us. We can’t go in.” 

Barbara looked at the park, which was densely packed with traps, and could not help but be speechless.

“It’s okay, none of those barriers can withstand my powers.” 

Pamela smiled. 

She waved her hands, and the ground in front of her suddenly began to vibrate. 

A crack slowly broke open in the middle of the ground, and a sapling emerged from it, and grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, soon becoming a very thick tree.

At this point, the shaking stopped. There was no trace of anything except an extra tree in the green belt in front of the park gate. 

There were many trees around here, so one or two extra trees would cause no problem at all. 

“You made a big tree out of thin air! I must admit that’s pretty cool, but…how are we going to get into the park?” 

Barbara smiled awkwardly. 

Pamela laughed and made a door pulling motion to the trunk of the tree across the air. 

Then the bark of that tree was literally pulled open like a door! 

Barbara looked into the tree door, and could not help but be amazed.

The original trunk was actually hollowed; only the outside bark existed.

Pamela motioned for Barbara to go into the tree hole with her. 

It was only then that Barbara discovered that there was a tunnel under the tree leading to the interior of the park. 

Pamela closed the door of the tree hole and the bark returned to its original state. 

“Barbara, follow me!”
