Batman appears once again in the night of Gotham. Although the red figure was missing, the City Guardian told the people of Gotham by his actions that he had never left. This made the people of Gotham feel a little reassured. But at the same time, there will still be a lot of worried voices, for the "energetic duo" that may disappear.

"How could Batman not have Robin?"

A boy who looked to be eleven or twelve years old walked out of the school gate while ravaging the newspaper in his hand.

He couldn't believe that these wastes, who only knew how to satisfy their own sense of security, actually thought that Batman had returned and everything could be business as usual. Robin must have had an accident, otherwise Batman wouldn't have disappeared for so long.

And all the attention of this group of waste is on what Gotham will do without the protection of Batman. No one cared about Robin, who didn't show up.

"What a hopeless city!"

The boy carried his school bag on his back, and cursed the ridiculous remarks as he guessed the possibilities in his head.

"See!"

One of his classmates passed him on a bicycle at a rapid pace, leaving only a voice to say hello. He just waved his hand in greeting.

He didn't have a good relationship with his classmates, and he wasn't bad. He didn't have any friends, and the simple content of the lecture made him want to sleep, while his classmates scratched their ears and cheeks and didn't understand it at all.

He is the so-called genius in the mouths of those various media and educational institutions, although she really can't understand what went wrong, so obvious logic of one plus one equals two, there will be people who can't understand it.

But he doesn't want to be a so-called genius, going to some competitions or being touted as an inspirational role model all day long, it's really boring enough.

When I got back to the door, I opened the door and walked in, greeting the people in the room as usual:

"I'm back, Dad!"

The answer to him was the same quiet space as ever.

“... Aren't you there?"

He was used to this situation, his father was just an ordinary person, and he raised him as a father and mother after his mother died. This is also one of the reasons why he doesn't want to expose himself as a genius, if he does, his teacher will definitely advise his father to send him to those expensive gifted schools, he doesn't want the old man to find a few part-time jobs to pay for tuition, the old man's last hospitalization loan has not been paid off, although he tried to hide the notice, but he still found it.

"Maybe I should go to work..."

Back in his room, he threw his bag on the floor, rolled onto the small bed, and looked at the Batman photos plastered all over the ceiling, and he began to think about whether he wanted to do something about it. But if he is working, he is not old enough, and it is not impossible to deliver newspapers every morning, but his old man definitely disagrees, after all, this is Gotham, and it is not a safe place for a teenager to run around.

He lay down until his stomach growled, and then he resigned himself to his fate and got up from the bed, looking for something to satisfy his stomach.

On the kitchen table, there were a few loaves of bread and a lump of hard butter and a carton of milk. There is also a note pressed underneath:

[Dad has to work overtime tonight, let's make do with it myself]

"Well, at least these things won't make you hungry and get enough protein...."

Moved tonight's dinner to the living room, pulled out a roll of videotape, and put it in the VCR. There are two reasons why this relic from the ancient century still appears in his house today:

First, the family didn't have the money to buy a new one.

Second, it was the only image left of his mother.

It turned out that only this videotape was rescued from the family scene, and it was still intact. There are other albums, and the photos are all gone.

After so many years, all kinds of problems began to arise with the videotape, and he thought about whether to do some part-time work, and then transfer the videotape, feeling that the life of this old antique was about to expire.

Eating dinner with a bite of bread and butter like chewing wax, I watched this video tape many times.

This is the video of the family of three going to the circus, he doesn't remember much about that time, the video is his mother leading him around the circus, he listens to the strange children's voice inside, and asks stupid questions. Apparently it was his dad who was videotaped. Then the circus began.

This circus is a very famous circus, especially the Flying Graysons, and many people go to this family for their performances. As the music sounded, the noisy background sound of the circus finale in the camera disappeared and was replaced by tense music, and the stage lights focused on the family of three.

The boy in the camera made the first reverberation, flipped a trick in the air and grabbed the swing pole that happened to arrive, and returned to the safety platform safely in an exclamation. No matter how many times he watched this action, it would make him rush to be amazed.

The boy shuttles freely like a bird between two levers that swing back and forth, giving the illusion that he is free from the gravitational pull of the earth.

"I'm watching this video again."

A tired voice came from behind him, telling him that the other owner of this house had returned.

"Aren't you working overtime tonight?"

"Well, the customer changed his mind temporarily, and the boss compensated us for a dinner, and the bread was not full, so let's eat it together?

The man showed the boy the packed lunch box, and the enticing fragrance wafted from the box, causing the boy to make a hungry bowel sound, and he was now growing up.

"Of course"

Two men, one older and one younger, sat on the couch and watched the video program on the TV as entertainment for tonight's meal.

"By the way, when you saw this shot, you were amazed and said, 'Daddy, that boy can fly.'"

Looking at the boy flying back and forth in the hands of a man and a woman in the picture, the man seemed to think of something and said.

"It's not impossible to fly, maybe he's an alien."

It's really enough, why every time I see this, his father has to talk about his previous troubles, it's not that people can't fly, but the metropolis will fly.

“.. If their family were also aliens, nothing would have happened."

The man touched the boy's head, and this video show was also the last performance of the family, and because of this, this video recording of that bloody moment has always been well kept by him.

The boy knew what was recorded in the second half of the video, though his father never let him see it.

"Dad, find a shop another day and transcribe this tape."

There was another screeching noise on the TV, and the tape was almost scrapped.

"Aren't you good at this?"

"But I don't have a machine."

"Tom knows the owner of an audio store, I asked him to inquire to see if he could let you use it, I went to sleep first"

"Ok, Ahhhh

Before he knew it, it was the time of the daily night news, and the boy hurriedly turned off the video and switched to the news program. It's already a must-see for him every day.

I looked at the Gotham Nightly News Channel, and nothing about Batman was just boring gossip news, so I went to Brudhaven's news channel. In Brughhaven's recent news, there is always a guy codenamed "Nightwing", and according to his guess, he should be the Robin before Batman.

The news just happened to play the clip provided by the photographer, in the clip, the man in the dark blue tight-fitting uniform, quickly flipped from one roof to another, and the series of elegant and rapid movements suddenly made the boy think of something.

“.... Probably not."

When the video was replayed on TV again, he hurried to record it on his phone. Then compare it with the bird-like boy in the video I just watched.

Whether it's the twisting action in the air or the stretching action, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the same person.

"Is that what every trapeze artist does?"

The boy turned on the computer and searched for all the videos related to trapeze, but came to the conclusion that it was not the same, not only that, but in the Grayson family, the movements of the three people in the air are not the same, even if they do the same action, but because of the differences in people's personalities, there are always some subtle differences.

“..... I remember that after that incident, Richard. Grayson is supposed to have become Bruce. Wayne's adopted son"

It's impossible to make a mistake in remembering this kind of thing, and even if you want to, it's very difficult. So if we say that Richard. Grayson is Nightwing, then Batman............

"No, isn't that kind of rich brother who has nothing to do and eat?"

Taking out a piece of paper, at the beginning of the calculation of age, Richard was about nine years old and almost ten years old when he was adopted, and so many years have passed.......

No matter how many times he calculated, he finally came to the conclusion that he was the right age.

“..... If Bruce's first adopted son was the first Robin, then there is a good chance that his second adopted son would be the second Robin. Jason. Todd is caught up in a fight between the Joker and Batman and dies in an explosion... Oh, my God. ”

There are quite a few people who will be Robin's disappearance and Bruce. The death of Wayne's second adopted son is linked, but no one has ever realized that Jason and Robin are actually the same person.

Just a coincidence? The boy hurriedly called up all after that incident with Batman and Bruce. Wayne-related news for comparison.

When Batman disappeared from public view, Bruce. Wayne also disappeared from public view in the name of vacation. Batman is back in the public eye once again, and Bruce is back.... This high overlapping range of activity is difficult for him to have other ideas. And Richard went to Bloomhaven to become a police officer, and at the same time Brookhaven had an extra "Nightwing..........

“.... It is necessary to be sure, I need some evidence....."

You'll never know what's hidden in Gotham's labyrinthine alleyways, like the little thugs who were going to ambush and rob here right now being repaired by a black figure.

Batman's night watch tonight ends with repairing a group of robbers. After teaching the guys a hard lesson, Batman left the alleyway.

But instead of leaving immediately, he crouched down and looked down on the imp hiding behind the garbage heap below.

The boy had noticed since yesterday that the clothes on his body were not shabby, and there was no big mix of old and new, and he should not have taken them from charity. It should be a child of the ordinary class of Gotham. Why would an average kid of this age be present at this point in time in Gotham's Old Town, which has the highest crime rate?

And he's looking for him.

Sure enough, after seeing Batman disappear, the boy began to look around for his traces, and saw the boy take out the binoculars and Batman hid in the dark again, the kind of ordinary telescope is not very easy to find his figure in the night.

[Lost Again]

It was easy to see through the boy's motives by looking at the lip talk, and sure enough, it was coming for him.

The boy seemed to have given up on the search, pushed out a bicycle from the side, quickly rode on, and then left this land of right and wrong, very good at judging the situation. After following the boy in the shadows to make sure he arrived home safely, Batman left there and returned to the cave.

"Master Bruce, what are you doing?"

As Alfred entered the cave with a snack and tea, he saw Bruce thinking about something to the screen.

“...... He looks like he's just an ordinary kid, is it a criminal who has anything to do with any case? ”

Alfred asked curiously, looking at the personal information displayed on the computer screen.

His name was Timothy. Jackson. Drake's boy doesn't look like a supercriminal, although he looks smart.

“.... No.... Not a criminal... But it's also worth noting."

Both times the kid found him, and Bruce didn't think it was just a coincidence....................
