Chapter 25: A Messenger from Heaven
Naxinnuo City, Ke Wen, who ran back from the road for the first time, ran directly to the Naxinnuo City Police Station, although the night was still very long, but Ke Wen always felt that if he didn't run faster, it was very likely that he would not be able to go to Gotham today. On the way to the police station, Kewen had already sent a message to Dick, and when he arrived at the police station, he was already waiting for Dick to comfort his female ticket with kind words, the female superhero White Dove in Naxino, Claire.
Claire's mood was a little low, especially after knowing that the candlelight dinner for the two that had been promised was blown up because of a text message from Cowen. "Hey, your boyfriend is here, don't hurry over!" Seeing Kewen appear, Claire said angrily.
"It's easy to confuse the relationship between me and Dick, Claire, this time I'm going to Gotham, and I'm really scared without his escort." Hearing Claire's angry words, Ke Wen was also a little embarrassed, but compared to the warning that the sixth sense had no reason, Ke Wen still endured it.
"The problem is that you don't need him to escort you anymore, I now feel that I am the third party who destroys other people's feelings." Speaking of this, Claire's tone became a little sour, leaving both Cowen and Dick speechless.
"That, the last time, the last time, let's go first!" Feeling the danger getting closer and closer, Kewen didn't dare to stay here at the police station any longer, so he grabbed Dick's hand and ran to the street with him, leaving Claire alone and sulking.
At night in Gotham, a golden door of light opened in Wayne Manor on the outskirts of Gotham, and both Curvin and Dick ran out of it in a bit of embarrassment. Dick is okay, but he is a little out of breath because of the extremely fast running, but it is Kewen, with a look of fear, he understands where the sense of crisis he had just come from, co-authored because he unilaterally left Carla in the small town of Smoville, but people can come back, it is only a matter of a few minutes for her, as for the menacing look!
"You're here a little early, Master Dick, Master Kewen, do you need some dinner? I've done it. "Such a big movement, Alfred, as the old butler, naturally noticed it, and it was also a pity that at night, he was the only one on the Wayne Manor, and those servants had been sent to the designated staff dormitory area. Not at all surprised, Alfred said behind Curvin and Dick with two cups of tea.
"Oh, thank you very much, Alfred, he's already waiting for us down there." Ke Wen, who had recovered his strength, stood up, took the tea from the old butler's hand, and took a sip before asking.
"Well, and there's another guest too."
"Who?"
"Master Clark."
In the underground bat cave of Wayne Manor, Superman, who was called by Batman on a phone call, leaned against the wall and watched as Batman was monitoring through cameras placed in every corner of Gotham to ensure that he could arrive at the scene as soon as the crime occurred. For Batman, the way of monitoring the whole city, Superman doesn't have much to say, you have to say that he violates privacy, but Batman's cameras are placed in those traffic locations, or alleys, under overpasses, the most crime-prone places, have not yet been perverted to the point of having a camera in every household.
If Batman hadn't told him, you wouldn't have wondered what had happened to your son during the five days of wandering the multiverse, and Superman wouldn't want to come over, and every time he came to Gotham, the memories he had were not very good. Just as Superman stood there watching Batman switch perspectives from the cameras, Super Hearing had already heard the voices of Curvin and Dick, and only then did he straighten his body.
"You're going to wait for that little guy to come over, anyway, I went to Arkham when I came, and I didn't see the clown, where did you lock him up?"
"Right here." With his back to Superman, Batman replied.
"What?"
"No matter what the clown does, he has only one purpose, which is me, then I will satisfy him, directly let him stay with me, let him watch me every day, this is also the best way."
"You're really, forget it, you get ready, that little guy came down with Dick." For Batman's approach, Superman doesn't know how to comment, this approach is indeed very in line with the Joker, at least facing Batman every day, the Joker will be a lot more settled, but Superman is worried that Batman will become more paranoid because of too much contact with the Joker, don't doubt that the Joker has this ability. But neither he nor Batman will kill the Joker, which is a difficult problem, if the Joker is in crisis, Batman will come to the rescue, and once Batman is in danger, he will not sit idly by.
Some distressed about Batman's approach, but Superman couldn't think of any good way for the time being, so he could only let it go, and at this time, Kewen and Dick also came down from the top of Wayne Manor, and when they saw Batman sitting on a chair, maintaining a contemplative posture, and Superman standing next to him stared at him. At that moment, Cowen's feet went limp, and if Dick hadn't pulled him quickly, he would have been able to roll down the stairs.
"What are you bringing Dick for?" Batman also saw Dick behind Curvin, looked at Curvin, and said in an unkind tone.
"Well, he's also curious about the story that happened in the multiverse, so I brought him over by the way," Kewen naturally wouldn't say that the whole world knows that Dick is your little padded jacket, and he can still restrain himself a little bit in you. And Batman also glanced at Dick, and launched a Batman's gaze, in the end, it was Batman's first Robin, and Dick, who had long been accustomed to this kind of gaze, stiffened his head.
"Then tell me, the multiverse incident, the change in Jonathan's attitude should be related to this experience, more precisely, it is related to the superman of the parallel universe, right?"
"You've guessed it and came to me, I'll just say it briefly, we went to two universes, and little Jonathan also saw the best and worst sides of superman in these two universes..." The next thing, Cowen didn't make changes to some places like Lena and Kara, and said it one by one, including the flashpoint timeline.
Superman on the side was also moved after hearing about the injustice universe and what happened to him on the other side, and looked at Batman on the side. Thinking of the scene when he faced the Joker in the Metropolis, the fear still surrounded him, and Batman also looked at Superman, and suddenly said: "Don't worry, you are not him, you are better than him, I believe you." The sudden comfort made Superman stunned for a moment, and he laughed a little.
"Don't I still have you?"
And when Kewen told the story about the Flashpoint timeline, Superman also noticed that the hands held by Batman sitting there increased the strength, especially when Curvin said that his mother became the clown of that world, this is what he didn't expect, the Flashpoint timeline has only been experienced by Flash Barry, but the Flash did not tell Batman about the fact that his mother became a Joker, in the Flash's cognition, the Flashpoint timeline will be eliminated as he resets everything in order, and he never thought that there was any possibility of being retained.
can feel the unrest in Batman's heart at this time, Superman also stood next to Batman, putting his hand on Batman's shoulder, silently comforting. Ke Wen leaned on the table, and when he told about his experience, he also felt a little emotional, who would have thought that he would have such a bizarre and strange experience and be able to take a journey through the universe.
"That's probably it, that's why Damien, Helena and little Jonathan have changed so much after they come back from the multiverse, your two children have experienced a tragedy firsthand, and they understand the pain you went through as Batman, and they admire that you can stand up in this unacceptable pain and become the greatest hero, so they have become sensible, and little Jonathan just hasn't understood what he needs to do as a son of Superman."
"I don't need them to admire me, all I want is for the two of them to grow up well and have their own lives." At this time, Batman did not have the serious look just now, and took off the mask, at this time, he was Bruce Wayne, a father.
"I agree with that, but you're a bit unqualified as a father, at least, you haven't had a photo with your own children."
"Perhaps, I always thought I was protecting them, but I forgot that sometimes all they need is my company." Bruce didn't refute Cowen's comment and turned his head to look at the screen.
"It's good to understand this, while it's still early, let's go talk to him, let's start with this photo." Curvin walked up to Bruce and handed him the photo of the old lady, AI Batman and Damian in the flashpoint world, and looked at the familiar appearance in the photo, and Bruce had tears in his eyes.
"The two little ones also have one in their hands, and they also need some common topics to talk about with the children, right? Put it away, and I'll only have this one. ”
"Thank you, you're a messenger from heaven." Wiping the tears from his eyes, Bruce turned his head and thanked Curwen very seriously for the first time.
"You're welcome, by the way, there are three concert tickets here, you also give one to Damian, Helena and Raven, it's been a long time since I've come out to get together, don't worry, this is the collective team building of the Young Titans, you should also let your children have a normal activity, right?"
Cowen was also a little embarrassed about Bruce's thanks, and after putting down the photos and tickets, he also looked at Superman, "By the way, I've also talked to little Jonathan about him, don't worry, it's much better now, and I'll give him a ticket, don't worry." With that, Curvin mouthed Nunu in the direction of Batman, and then winked at Superman.
Superman, who has always been simple, showed a different reaction speed this time, and instantly understood Ke Wen's words and the action represented by this eye gesture. He nodded violently at Ke Wen.
"Okay, since I've said everything that needs to be said, then, tonight, this night of father-to-child conversation is left for you, and as for Gotham, I'll just come with Dick, Superman, don't you have to go back too? Little Jonathan is waiting for you at home. ”
"You're in charge of Gotham tonight? It's okay, but I need to talk to the AI Batman in your car. Batman frowned when he heard that Kewen was in charge of Gotham tonight, but after seeing that Dick was also on the side, he agreed, and the most troublesome clown was locked up in his bat cave, and the rest of the fights with Dick and Curwen were there, so there was nothing to worry about, just let Curvin summon the Zetron.
"It's easy to do." With a move of his hand, the shape of the Zetron appeared in the clearing, and AI Batman was also projected out of the car for the first time, looking at Batman, "You guys talk slowly, send me a message when you're done, and I'll summon him back and go to work first." ”
Cowen and Dick left the Batcave, leaving Superman and Batman behind, AI Batman also temporarily returned to sleep in the Settron, and Superman was ready to sneak away while Batman was still looking at the photos, and he had to go back and tell his son a few more words. Before he could lift his legs, Batman's voice came from behind him.
"I'll ask Alfred to buy a few more tickets in a moment, you and me, and Louise, and I'll call Selena and Talia, and Diana, and we'll all go to this concert."
"I think it's a children's activity, so let's not do it..." Superman, who felt that his wishful thinking was seen through by Batman, was stunned at once, turned his head and smiled.
"I don't want you to think, I want me to feel, listen to me, I won't ask for your consent, just do it."
"Oh," Superman didn't dare to say anything in the face of Batman's domineering speech, and hung his head in some disappointment, and then left the Batcave. And the old butler Alfred came down with tea at this time, and he was a little happy to see Batman's smile, "It looks like Master Clark has been bullied by you again, Master Bruce." ”
"Who told him not to learn well and want to fight Helena's idea, Alfred, I think you know someone who bought tickets for this concert, right?"
"How many do you need, Lord Bruce," Alfred asked directly, raising an eyebrow and glancing at the ticket in Batman's hand.
"It's best for everyone to have in the Justice League, you go too, Alfred, and treat him as a party."
"I'm glad you have this idea, Master Bruce, but I'll forget it, I like Jacky Cheung more than him, if you can ask him to be a special guest at this concert, I can consider it."
"Very good advice, I'll have someone arrange it now."
"Let's go, then, Lord Bruce."
After hearing the accurate reply, the old butler also hummed a small tune and left the bat cave. At this time, in the Batcave, Batman was the only one left, looking at the Settron parked in front of him, and the AI Batman who was still dormant in the Settron just now projected out again, looking at him.
"I know what you want to ask, but now you should go and accompany Damian them, what you want, I'll give it to you when you get back, now, no."
"I'll wait."
Stood up, took off his suit, took off his disguise, and reverted back to Bruce Wayne's identity, before leaving the Batcave and returning to Wayne Manor. And the departing Cowen and Dick were also over the Wayne Enterprise Building at this time, looking at the city that was active in the dark, enjoying the night wind.
"Now, it's you and Claire's, don't say I'm not good enough for you." Looking at the night view, Kewen handed over the two tickets.
"You can go back and give it to me again," Dick knew that Cowen must have prepared one for himself, but he didn't understand what it meant to give himself now.
"Hey, I just said that my double business is low, why is it your turn now, it's only half past seven in the evening, and it's still too late for candlelight dinner, so why don't you go back to the appointment quickly."
"Then you're here..."
"Don't worry, you can stand it, go back and enjoy the date with peace of mind, I'm sorry for you when I call you over, and it's even worse to drag you along." The golden portal opened, and Ke Wen pushed Dick in, and after finishing it, he looked at Gotham City, which had already had some criminal activities at this time, stretched his waist, and then fell directly from the roof of the building, disappearing into the night sky.
Gotham Crime Alley, a few guys who had just snatched a fortune from a jewelry store hurriedly fled into this notorious neighborhood, just when they were still excited that they had escaped the eyes of the police and Batman, the surrounding street lights and store lights were all extinguished, and a road seemed so dark that they who were still excited stopped, clenched the guns in their hands, and looked around.
"Hey, do you have any family?" A young voice sounded in this dark street, so that the nervous gangsters fired their guns in the direction from which the sound came from for the first time, and the dense gunshots rang out in the streets, but they could not hide the fear in their hearts, because in this dark street, there were only their own gunshots and the sound of their hearts beating, until the guns in their hands made the sound of bullets empty, which made them barely calm down.
"Do you know that at this time, there is a guy who is trying to be a good father?"
The sound came from the other direction again, and the gangsters who had changed the magazine once again poured ammunition in that direction and directly dusted it, but this time they learned to be obedient and did not run out of bullets in the guns once.
"And because of you guys, he has to come out every day, try to save the city again and again, save you guys, and I, although I don't have the ability to save the city, but at least... I'm going to have to save his family, too. Leaning against the wall, Ke Wen took out the night riding card set from his pocket and said to himself.
"Damn, who the hell are you!" The gangster at the head shouted angrily, this style is not like the way Batman should act.
With a snap of his fingers, the street that was still dark just now suddenly became as bright as day, making the gangsters who were accustomed to the darkness unable to open their eyes all of a sudden, and Ke Wen also stood out from behind the wall, and the lights that were as bright as day just now were slowly dimming in his direction.
"Me? I'm Batman! ”
The belt is projected around one's waist, synthesized, and the deck is inserted. The black-blue night rider armor attire, the black cloak behind the windless automatic, the fear of the criminals of Gotham City, is here again!
