28. Postscript: Children

Tiki Cyberson, 9 years old, has a lively personality, doesn't like school very much, doesn't like carrots very much, he is no different from other Gotham kids of the same age, the only difference is that he has a father who seems to have a big background, and several mothers, and this eccentric family lives together in the Cyber Villa in Gotham's Old Town.

He also has two younger sisters, as well as a younger brother who is about to be born, so Tiqi Jr. is actually the eldest son of the Christian family's generation.

Oh, by the way, he's still an unknown mutant, it's not that his potential is too great for Omega to describe, the main thing is that Cyber didn't want to label his son as a mutant when he was young, so he didn't go to Professor Charles's ability test.

Little Titch's favorite place to stay was the tavern run by his father, where he spent almost every night, where he could hear many interesting stories from the old men who liked Kan Dashan when he drank alcohol, where he could meet many friends who were very different in age from him, and when he was very lucky, he could meet guys that ordinary children would never see.

At this time, he waved the Judgment Gun in his hand with a happy face, humming a nursery rhyme from the hallway to the upstairs, the shop would not close until late, and he would go to his room on the fourth floor to rest before his father took him home.

And in his hand, the Spear of Judgment that had just been given to him had shrunk to the point where it could be grasped in his hand, like a miniature baton, and with each swing, the surface of the weapon would flash with blue lightning, which was very beautiful.

For a 9-year-old boy, there was probably no more pleasing gift than this thing, and just as Tiki climbed up the corner of the third floor, the fingers that came out of the darkness tapped lightly on the boy's head, making a crisp sound.

"Bang"

"Ahh

Holding his head in his left hand, like a little monkey, Tiqi jumped back vigilantly, pointed the Judgment Gun in his right hand forward, and then saw Damian leaning against the railing, a 19-year-old in a casual suit, leaning there in a languid posture, and throwing a bright red apple up and down in his hand.

"I said, when you see your handsome brother Damian, won't you give me a hug?"

"Cut"

Tiki snorted, carefully hiding the Judgment Gun behind him, he hadn't forgotten that his naughty "brother" always liked to snatch his toys when he was still an adult, and he was very talented at breaking things.

But a few seconds later, he still called out a little reluctantly:

"Brother. ”

Damien was Cyber's first godson, and while it may seem strange for Cyber to have several godchildren as an atheist, he was honestly so good to his own godsons that the children would consider him a real second father.

"Look at your stingy look... I'm not going to snatch your new toy..."

Damian put the apple in his mouth and took a bite of it, and in the midst of the juice, he squeezed his eyes at little Tichy and whispered:

"I brought you a gift from the Omagina galaxy, do you want to check it out?"

"Gifts?!"

Tichy's eyes widened and were full of surprise, children, love gifts.

Five minutes later, Damien followed Tiki to his room, which was more like a showroom filled with all kinds of bizarre collectibles, all of which were Tichy's "treasures".

"Ah, it's just been 2 years since you came, and your stuff here looks like it's at least tripled... Haven't you gotten rid of the habit of picking things up everywhere?"

Damien walked over to the wall full of various things, and directly in front of him, a small orange ball of light, placed on a silver-white metal glove, buzzed constantly, as if it was shaking in place.

"What is this?"

Dimian turned his head curiously and asked, and behind him, Tiqi sat in his special chair, and said absentmindedly:

"It was a birthday present from Mr. Fury on my birthday last year, you better not touch it, the last time Carter Jr. accidentally knocked it over, this grumpy toy flew everywhere, and as a result, a third of Gotham went without power. ”

"Yes"

Hearing Tich's advice, Damian's eyes lit up with interest, he rubbed his hands and lightly touched the small ball of light in front of him with his fingers, but the next moment, the balance of the ball of light was broken, and it flew out in an instant, screaming like a grumpy little devil, flying wildly throughout the room at a speed beyond the sound and knocking down everything in his flight path.

"Bang Bang"

It was like the sound of machine gun fire, and in just 3 seconds, the whole very neatly cleaned room was made a mess by this irascible little devil.

"Oh my! I swear I didn't mean to!!"

Seeing this, Damien immediately realized that he was in trouble, and his figure began to move back and forth in the air quickly, trying to grab the screaming devil ball with his hands, but every time he touched that thing, Damien's body would be carried out by the high-speed vibration of the ball of light itself.

"Ahhh

Damian's screams continued to sound in the room with his body, making the already bad situation worse, and little Tiqi sitting in the chair looked at the room that had almost become a garbage dump with a blank expression, and he sighed angrily, he already knew that letting Damian's brother enter his house would inevitably turn out like this.

The next moment, he jerked his head, and the small ball of light grazed his hair and smashed against the wall behind him, and began to collide wildly again.

"Click"

Little Titch stretched out his finger and beckoned, the silver-white glove that was thrown on the ground quickly fell into his hand, he took the glove in his hand, and raised it without looking, and the next moment, the ball of light that was beating quickly in the air seemed to feel some kind of strong attraction, and it strangely crossed a line in the air, and finally landed firmly in the palm of Little Titch's hand.

"You see, I told you not to touch it..."

Tidge put his "treasure" in its place, turned around, crossed his waist like an adult, and behind him, the embarrassed Damian lay on top of his collection, and there was an extra bruise on his left eye.

Seeing Damian's unlucky appearance, little Tichy's mood suddenly improved, he shrugged his shoulders, snapped his fingers, and the next moment, the recovery circle in the room was activated, and those messy gadgets quickly returned to where they should be.

"So, little one, you're actually taking revenge on me, aren't you?"

Damian rubbed his eyes and got up from the ground, he grabbed his hair, and looked at the little child who reached his waist, he breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes became gentle, he reached out and patted little Tichy on the head:

"I'm sorry, little one, I didn't make it back for your birthday last year, I want to apologize to you... I was in a deathmatch with a bunch of interstellar pirates, and I was going to send you an email, but my AI computer was broken by the damn bunch... But speaking of which, I should also thank them..."

Damian's hand reached behind him, a faint spatial reaction beating in the air, and the next moment, he exaggeratedly spread his hand and lifted out a birdcage with a black cloth.

"Bell, bell, bell!"

"A late birthday present from Brother Damien!"

However, little Tiqi raised his head, but there was not much in his eyes, he silently opened his hands, hugged Damian, and said with a little choked up:

"I'm angry not because you didn't show up for my birthday party, I'm angry that you were hurt and didn't tell us... Uncle Bruce and I stayed in the hospital for 3 days, and we didn't leave until you woke up, Uncle Bruce didn't want to ruin your dream of becoming a Star Ranger, but I didn't care, at that time, I almost thought I was going to lose you..."

This sudden outpouring of affection silenced Damien, who put aside the birdcage in his hand, and put his hands on little Titch's head, and he whispered:

"I don't tell you because I don't want you to worry either, and because when I left, I swore to be a hero and see you again... I'm going to set a good example for you, aren't I?"

"But speaking of... That mysteriously missing group of interstellar pirates... You did it, right?"

Damian crouched down and reached out to wipe the tears of little Tichy, he looked at the child in front of him, and he asked softly, "Did the godfather do it? Or is it my fat dad who can't swing his fists? Are you avenging me in this way?"

"Whew"

Tiki snorted, and he was a little embarrassed and said, "I did it to Sim... As a result, he was grounded by his mother for a month. ”

"Then you're really good..."

Damian scratched the bridge of Tichy's nose, he sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands behind his back, and he looked at Tiqi Jr.:

"This time I promise that I will rush back for every birthday party you have in the future, and... I'll keep myself from getting hurt... Try your best~ So, let's take a look at the gifts now!"

"Huh"

The black cloth covering the golden birdcage was pulled away, and the next moment, a miniature fireball flew out of the birdcage and smashed into Tickie's arm, splashing a few sparks and startling him, and after the flames disappeared, his eyes widened to see the strange creatures in the birdcage.

It looks like a bat, but its body is covered with gray-black scales, its head has horns, and it has beautiful tail feathers like a phoenix on its back, and it looks very fierce.

"This is the dragon bat, a strange creature from the planet where I fell, it is said to have the blood of a dragon, it can breathe fire, it can also release some magic, it has intelligence, but it can be tamed, and it is still in its juvenile stage, and when it matures, its wings are spread out alone, it is almost like a small plane... The first time I saw it, I knew that you would love it. ”

Damian gushed on and on, but Tiki pouted:

"No, I don't want it, it's ugly! Maybe Joel will like it... I can give him this ugly thing for his birthday next month!"

"Hmm!!"

Damien's eyes widened, "Ugly, no, I think it's cute..."

"That's because the Wayne family loves bats! You've got bat blood in your veins, but I've got better pets!"

Tiki retorted, and then, with a hint of childish pride, led Damien to his window, where he stood in his chair and opened it, and in the vast night of Gotham outside the window, Tichy put his finger to his mouth and whistled loudly, and a moment later, a flaming creature flew towards Tichy from the darkness with its wings.

In the blink of an eye, on the shoulders of little Tichy, a creature with a golden red body, a beautiful bird feather on the top of its head, and slender tail feathers on its back, stood on the shoulder of the little master, like a burning flame, and now, it was looking at the strange Damien with a haughty gaze.

"Wow!"

Damian couldn't help but let out an exclamation:

"A living juvenile immortal bird... How did you get this thing?"

"Awesome, right?"

Little Tich snorted in satisfaction, he took two pieces of flame clasts from his pocket, and fed them to the immortal bird on his shoulder, and as he stroked the flaming feathers, he whispered:

"This is what Aunt Phoenix sent me... She said she was going to be away for a long time, and I didn't want her to leave, and then she gave me this little one, and she told me that when this little one had the ninth tail feather, she would come back..."

Speaking of this, Tiqi Jr.'s mood was a little depressed again, and he looked at Damien, who also had a trace of regret in his eyes.

"I, you, and little Carter, Joel, we all love Aunt Phoenix, she's going to take us across the world, to eat good food, to go to places where no one else can go..."

"My father told me that I had to keep it for at least 300 years before it would grow its ninth tail..."

Tiqi breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly cheered up, he stretched out his hand to Damian, his eyes full of confidence: "It's only 300 years, let's work together to raise it quickly! I miss Aunt Phoenix so much..."

Looking at Tichy's confident eyes, Damian, who already knew something else, couldn't bear to spoil the beautiful fantasy that the phoenix had left to Tichy, he took Tichy's hand, and he whispered:

"And what if Aunt Phoenix hasn't come back by the time the dead bird grows its ninth tail feather?"

"Then I'll go find her!"

Little Tich said in a deep voice, at this moment, he spoke in almost the same tone as Cyber, he looked at Damian, and said firmly in a childish voice:

"Even if I search every star, I'm going to find her... A family should live together, and I don't want every one of you to leave me! I'll protect you!"

This consistent firmness made Damian a little distracted, but after a moment, he smiled and nodded:

"Okay! If she doesn't come back, we'll go find her... Let's go together!"
