Talia had just finished a pre-training warm-up and was resting on the couch while waiting for her training opponent, when the curtains shook slightly to alert her that someone was coming.

"Come out"

Pick up the delicate kettle on the table and fill the two empty glasses with water.

Batman comes out of the shadows, but doesn't come close to Talia. This woman is not the type to be relaxed and approached, and you need to be vigilant in front of her at all times.

"Why are you free today?"

Talia grabbed two glasses of water and walked over to Batman.

“... You know why I came."

The mechanically synthesized voice, with Batman's unique voice, has no trace of warmth. Talia stopped, standing three meters away from Batman, looking at the ruthless man.

“..... I don't understand what you mean."

Talia hesitated for a moment and decided to lie, maybe Batman wasn't here for that.

"Jason!"

As soon as Batman said the name, he got the answer from Talia's visibly dodging look.

"I didn't know that stinky water could resurrect the dead"

"The pool water doesn't have that ability"

Talia interrupted Batman, saying that Pool Water does not have the ability to resurrect the dead, which must be clarified.

Talia returned to the couch with the water, placing one on the table and drinking the other. After that, when my heart calmed down, I thought about how to tell the man about the boy.

"What do you want to know?"

All

Talia brushed her hair irritably, and then said:

"I don't know what happened to that kid, but when we found him, he seemed to have a bit of an IQ problem, maybe it was a side effect of resurrection"

Talia's words made Batman have a new move, and he walked over and stood in front of Talia, his eyes staring at Talia's eyes through the goggles:

"You'd better not lie to me"

Talia smiled, the man as suspicious as ever.

"Fangs had a mission in Gotham, but he came back three days later than scheduled, because he found the kid on the last day of the mission. I have to admire your level of secrecy, until the end we didn't know that the child's hair turned out to be red"

Thinking of the moment the boy was brought to her that day, the dark red hair became that he was not Jason. The only evidence of Todd. After DNA testing, they wondered if it was the result of a genetic mutation in the clone. They were too confident in their information-gathering abilities and underestimated Batman's ability to keep secrets, and the man even directly modified Jason's birth record and changed his hair color to black.....

“... Why does he have traces of soaking in the pool?"

Batman asked rhetorically.

Talia glanced at him, took a deep breath and said:

"That kid's brain has been muddy, and over time, although some intelligence has recovered and it doesn't affect training learning, but..."

"But you can't be a pawn planted next to Batman"

Batman knows Rayshaw's style too well, and he can't take in a kid with IQ problems because he has a face that looks exactly like Batman's Robin, and the purpose of taking him in must be to deal with him.

Talia looked at Batman for a few moments, the man's anger almost reaching the point where he couldn't even hide his cloak. It's a wonder that Batman has such obvious mood swings.

“... Yes"

Talia simply admits that any of your lies are meaningless in front of this man. Silence returned to the room after Talia answered, and Batman stood like a statue for a long time before asking:

"Why are there traces of two other kinds of magic on him..."

"Two? I don't know very well, the father decided to send the child to the big caste for training... Maybe that's what I learned..... Or maybe it had something to do with his resurrection....."

Batman stood still and stared straight at Talia before making sure she wasn't lying.

"Bruce..."

Talia stops Bruce before he leaves. Batman didn't even bother to turn his head, just kept his original posture and waited for her to continue.

"Bruce, you have to watch out for that kid"

Talia's words finally made Batman turn around and face her again.

“... The big castes told me that Jason's soul was full of anger and hatred, and even though he didn't remember anything, he was still dominated by tyrannical emotions, and the intense murderous intent he displayed in training always worried them. I had a conflict with my father over Jason, who meant to give him a new memory, and I went and dragged him to the pool without permission........"

Talia paused at this point, raised her eyes and quietly observed Batman's expression. Of course, there was no expression, and Batman still couldn't make any expression at all, as ever.

"You know the pool, it can amplify people's negative emotions, and it can even bring out the darkest parts of the soul, and everyone who has been in the pool has become murderous and crazy, even my father, who was a little crazy when he first came out of the pool. Maybe it's better to obey my father."

Speaking of this, Talia walked up to Batman, snuggled up to the man's strong chest and said:

"I don't know if that one can still be called Jason, or how the kid didn't die when he jumped off a cliff, maybe the effect of the spring water was still on him, or maybe some other reason. But when I asked my subordinates to take him back to Gotham, all I got was that he had all his ribs broken, an arm bone, and a leg bone, and he almost died. Watch out for Bruce, a soul who knows everything about you, who has all the tricks you've taught him, but who is full of tyrannical killing, will be your most terrifying foe..."

No sooner had Talia finished her sentence than a pair of pincer-like palms grabbed her shoulders tightly and pushed her away, then turned and left the window.

After watching the man's figure disappear from the window, Talia helplessly leaked a smile:

"You're still the same....."

"Mommy? Has anyone come? ”

Behind her came the voice of Damian, who was scheduled to accompany the boy in his daily training today.

Talia turned to look at the trumpet face that looked almost the same as the man, and said:

"No, there is no dear...."

"Shall we start training then?"

“... Of course..."
