Chapter 35: Listen to Daddy

On the outskirts of Gotham City, Gordon's villa

Gordon: "(Opens the door)..." - enter

The little girl in red (baby cube): "Dad~" - ran out to welcome [Gordon] home

Gordon: "Hey, Daddy's back. - Put down your briefcase and take off your coat

Baby Cube: "Daddy hug ~, dad hug ~" - reach out to hug

Gordon: "(Picks up)... When Dad was away, did you listen to Sister Emma?"

Baby Cube: "Yes~"

Gordon: "Okay, baby's so good. —kissing the forehead

Baby Cube: "Hee~" - tired of being coquettish in your arms

Little Emma: "(tired)... You're back. —to the entrance

Gordon: "Something happened in the restaurant..."

Emma Jr.: "I know, my daughters told me [telepathically]. ”

Gordon: "Oh, how's it going on your side?"

Emma: "See for yourself..."—leading [Gordon] to the study

Crayons and drawing paper were thrown everywhere in the study

Gordon: "(picks up a graffiti and watches)..."

Gordon: "(to "baby") This is what you painted?"

Baby Cube: "Hmm. —nodded

Emma Jr.: "She painted them. ”

Baby Cube: "I drew it!" - pride

Gordon: "Baby's amazing... (pick it up one by one and watch) the whole painting of the "Firebird"?" - ask [Little Emma]

Emma Jr.: "Most of them. She can 'see' the essence directly through the outside..."

Baby Cube: "This is the same Firebird that forcibly separated me from my father!"—interrupted

Gordon: "Yes, Bad Bird, this Firebird is a big bad guy. —echoed

Little Emma: "..."—silent

Gordon: "Baby, I'm going to be tired after drawing so many pictures..."

Baby Cube: "I'm not tired, I want to play with my dad~"

Gordon: "It's too late, Dad will play with "Baby" tomorrow." ”

Baby Cube: "No~, no~" - coquettish

Gordon: "No, it's late, it's time to go to bed." Listen to Daddy. "—stern

Baby Cube: "Hmm. —grievances

Gordon: "(to Little Emma] You take the kids to the bedroom on the second floor, and I'll clean it up here." "—make the eyes color

Emma Jr.: "Okay. —Take the baby away

About half an hour later, Little Emma returned to her study

Gordon: "Baby's asleep?"

Little Emma: "How is it possible, it took more than 20 minutes just to wash her and change her pajamas." Now she's lying in bed, waiting for you to tell her a picture book. ”

Gordon: "Then let's hurry... You just said that "baby" can 'see the essence directly through the appearance', so on the contrary, can she 'see' the appearance through the essence?"

Emma Jr.: "Yes. ”

Gordon: "A different look?"

Emma Jr.: "What do you mean?"

Gordon: "[Phoenix] can make people unaware of the same appearance (Volume 4, Chapter 73)..."

Emma Jr.: "That trick works for people, it doesn't work for her." —a definite tone

Gordon: "Your telepathy doesn't work for her either?"

Little Emma: "Otherwise, I still need to spend so much effort?" - took out two graffiti and handed them to [Gordon]

Gordon: "(Take)..." - watch

Little Emma: "[Charles] (Professor X) and [Zhou Ke], you really guessed one. ”

Gordon: "No... This isn't Professor X, he's young, he's hairy, it's Wesley. ”

Emma Jr.: "Wesley, the Interpol who came with you to Paris to save people?" - Gordon and Ka El have spoken

Gordon: "Yes. ”

Emma Jr.: "Isn't he dead?"

Gordon: "We all thought he was dead. ”

Emma Jr.: "Perhaps, [Phoenix] has resurrected him." ”

Gordon: "I absolutely believe that [Phoenix] has this ability, but the movement of resurrecting a person is too great for it not to be detected by [Annihilation]. So I speculate that [Wesley] was not dead in the first place, and later became one of the objects of [Phoenix]'s possession. ”

Emma Jr.: "There's one more person we need to watch out for." —frowning

Gordon: "Relax, there aren't many individuals who have the qualifications of a "qualified". —comfort

Emma Jr.: "Are you sure?[Wanda], [Jean], [Wesley] are mutants, [Agatha Harkness] (the Grey Witch) is a wizard, and [Zhouke] is a normal human. Those [Cosmic Supreme] "hunting ranges" seem to be very large. ”

Gordon: "From our point of view, this range is not small, but in the eyes of those [Universe Supreme], maybe they are all the same kind of people?"

Emma Jr.: "..."—thinking

Gordon: "Alright, let's do it for today. I'm going to put "Baby" to sleep, and tomorrow you can use your clan (mutant) connections to find out [Wesley] in this world, he should have a deep relationship with [Professor X]. —Stepping out of the study

Bedroom on the second floor

Gordon: "..."—gently pushes the door open

Baby Cube: "(puts down the picture book in his hand)... Daddy~"

Gordon: "Baby, haven't you slept yet?" - walks to the bed

Baby Cube: "I want to listen to my dad tell me about picture books." ”

Gordon: "Good, good... (Looking at the picture books scattered under the bed) Have you read all these picture books?"

Baby Cube: "Yes, Dad always doesn't come, so I'll read it myself." —shy

Gordon: "Oh, what should I do... (Inspiration) Ah, there is. Let me tell you the story of what just happened in a Moscow restaurant. ”

Baby Cube: "I know the story of [Professor Yu Guo]. ”

Gordon: "How did Baby know?"

Baby Cube: "I 'heard' it from [Sister Emma]'s head. ”

Gordon: "You 'eavesdropped' on the psychic connection between their mother and daughter?"

Baby Cube: "Hmm. ”

Gordon: "Then what does the "baby" think Dad should do to those corrupt officials who 'falsified psychiatric certificates to deceive them to get their sentences commuted and released on medical parole'?"

Baby Cube: "Erase them when you restart the universe." ”

Gordon: "And now?"

Baby Cube: "It doesn't matter what you do now, they have nothing to do with the overall situation of "restarting the universe". Anyway, after the "restart of the universe", anything anyone does in this world is useless. —smiley face

Gordon: "That's right... By the way, Dad bought a new picture book on the way home, and it was in the briefcase, so I took it up and read it to "Baby"?"

Baby Cube: "Okay, okay." ”

Five minutes later, [Gordon] retrieved the picture book

Gordon: "(Flipping through the picture book)... Once upon a time, there was a little white rabbit who became the manager of the radish shop, and the employee Little Fox was very envious: "Hmph, I want to become a little white rabbit!" So the little fox recited the incantation: "One, two, three, four, five, six, the fox becomes a little white rabbit." Hey, the little fox has become a white rabbit. "—Paint the sound and color

Baby Cube: "Wow~"

Gordon: "The next morning, the little white rabbit jumped up and went to work at the turnip shop. When the little gray rabbit in the store saw it, he exclaimed, "Huh, the little white rabbit manager just entered, why is there a little white rabbit manager again?" The little white rabbit inside came out and took a look, shouting, "Who are you?" and the little white rabbit outside also shouted: "I'm the manager here, who are you?" ”

Baby Cube: "Hmm~" - pout

Gordon: "The little gray rabbits looked left and right, they were all stunned, and they really couldn't tell who was the real white rabbit manager, so they had to report to the official... Xiong Fagong came, first put two bundles of grass in front of them, and the two little white rabbits quickly finished eating the grass. Judge Xiong put two more pieces of meat in front of them, and the two little white rabbits frowned: "Don't eat, don't eat!" Xiong Fagong looked at this and that, but he couldn't tell whether it was true or false, and he was so anxious that he scratched his head: "What can I do about this?"

Baby Cube: "Ha~" - laughs

Gordon: "Helpless, Judge Xiong had to ask the little gray rabbit to go to the parents of the little white rabbit to find out. Not long after, Daddy Rabbit came, and the two little white rabbits called out in unison, "Daddy, I am your child. 」... Daddy Bunny looked at this, then at that, and shook his head, "Oh, that's weird! By the way, my kid has a scar on his tail." But if you look closely, you can see that both little white rabbits have scars on their tails. That's a problem... Daddy Rabbit thought about it, and suddenly clutched his stomach and cried out, "Ouch, ouch, my stomach hurts! Ouch, ouch!" Daddy Rabbit bent down in pain. ”

Baby Cube: "..."—the smile fades away

Gordon: "Daddy, what's wrong with you?" A little white rabbit burst into tears, and pounced on his father to help him, shouting, "Hurry, call an ambulance, hurry!" The other white rabbit was also calling "Daddy, Daddy", but his voice was not in a hurry... Father Rabbit stood up suddenly, hugged the little white rabbit who pounced on him, and said, "I have separated, you are my child—the real little white rabbit!" The little white rabbit smiled: "Dad, you recognize your own child!" (Turning the page) Another little white rabbit saw that Daddy Rabbit suddenly got better, and was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he had been fooled. I had to turn into a fox and slip away. Judge Xiong laughed, "Daddy Bunny, you're so smart!" Daddy Bunny laughed, and so did the little white rabbit. ”

Baby Cube: "..."—there is no emotion on his face
