Chapter 041: Bruce Wayne's Death
Seeing Thomas Wayne pull Coulson aside and whisper something, the rest of the team looked a little surprised. And Martha Wayne also politely beckoned the team members to sit downstairs for a while and drink a cup of English black tea or something.
It was at this point that Rhaegar withdrew his attention from the side of the nutrition pod, mainly Bruce Wayne in the nutrition pod, and followed Martha Wayne and her teammates downstairs.
Rhaegar has never been a fan of Batman. Among the elders of the Justice League, he prefers the Flash, because the world of the Flash is full of imagination. And when it comes to which character he likes the most in the entire DC world, after removing the female characters who have little to do with the current topic, the first two are two anti-heroes - one wears the mask of Guy Fawkes, who plotted to kill the King of England and all the members of the parliament in the early seventeenth century, and V, and the other is the prodigal angel who has finally gotten tired of watching the sins of a certain post for thousands of years, so he decides to go to Los Angeles for a vacation and also cut off his wings. As for Batman, that's behind the top five.
However, now seeing the 'Mortal Limit' Batman, who was supposed to shine in a world full of superpowers, his original figure Bruce Wayne turned out to be cerebral palsy, and his body muscles atrophied like an addict, lying motionless in that coffin-like nutrition cabin, Rhaegar still felt very depressed and unhappy.
is still the same sentence, people can follow history and become a prophet, or simply open up some super system and so on. As for him, not to mention in a world where there is no 'history' at all, he can't even grasp the context of the characters, and he is forced to be caught between two rogue organizations as soon as he comes, and he can only make compromises to survive!
"Rhaeggar, what's wrong with you?"
Rhaegar was interrupted by a familiar voice, it was Skye. Noticing her concerned expression, Rhaegar smiled at her, trying to say something like "nothing" to reassure her, when her eyes were drawn to a photo in Skye's hand.
It turned out that Martha Wayne was entertaining them at this time, and at the same time telling the team members about her son's past. And now the topic is a few people discussing how handsome and smart Bruce Wayne used to be.
Key words, 'ever' and 'smart'.
Looking at the photos from Skye, Rhaegar saw a completely different Bruce Wayne from the nutrition pod. In this photo, Bruce Wayne is much younger, with a focus on being handsome and confident, and physically muscular, with a fairly pronounced muscular silhouette of his arms in a Gotham University football varsity jersey.
This is also too far from the one in the nutrition cabin upstairs today.
At the same time, an obvious fact emerged: Bruce Wayne's cerebral palsy was not born with Rhaga before, but was acquired. And from this, Rhaegar also got a 'meaning' conjecture: was it caused by accident, or was it a subjective factor? And further, considering that the old Waynes are still alive, and Bruce Wayne obviously survived the 'Sin Alley incident' at the age of eight or ten or eleven, and successfully grew up to become cerebral palsy, then, maybe someone doesn't want Batman to appear in this world?
Such speculations span a bit large, even unfounded, and are purely Rhaeggar's conjecture, conspiracy theories. However, out of nostalgia and nostalgia for his previous life, he is still happy to see that there is such a setting in the new world today.
"Mrs. Wayne, it may be a bit abrupt and inappropriate to ask, but can you tell me how your son became, well, the way he is......
"Rhaegar!"
Skye interrupted Rhaegar in a low voice, apparently thinking it was inappropriate for Rhaegar to reveal someone else's scars like that. She, as well as Fitz, Simmons, and Ward, and even Rhaegar himself were embarrassed. Instead, Martha Wayne's originally smiling expression froze for a while after hearing Rhaeggar's question, but quickly recovered.
When asked about her son's misfortune, Martha's mom has been through a lot over the years. Of course, even after many years, she is still a little sad, but she is not as resistant to talking about it as Rhaegar and Skye imagined.
"In fact, we also want to know what really happened." Martha said with a sigh. This first sentence surprised everyone, including Rhaegar.
According to Martha Wayne, Bruce Wayne graduated from Gotham University ahead of schedule and was the best and most sought-after graduate of the year. The 'most popular' here is mainly directed at women. After graduating, he didn't choose to work for his father's company, but instead worked on the rugby-related work that he did best in college - which is not quite right, because as one of the most star quarterbacks on the East Coast of the United States, he did not join the top NFL football, at least not as a player, but as a team manager, president and coach, and founded a local football club in Gotham, with the goal of winning the opportunity to add a team to the NFL with Gotham as its home stadium within five years. I have to say that Bruce Wayne has good means, and he managed the club in the first three years, and the team he personally formed was almost invincible, but at this time, an accident happened.
Although he didn't join Wayne Enterprise, Bruce's relationship with his father Thomas is actually quite good, let alone with his mother Martha. So even though he had another apartment outside, Bruce would go back to Wayne Manor from time to time to have dinner with his parents, or stay for a day or two. It was in the second half of the third year that Thomas and Martha began to hear Bruce complain about encountering some madman or something, and more than once mentioned similar things. It seems that the madman thinks that Bruce shouldn't waste all his talent on being a playboy and club owner, but should focus on more important things, like helping people in need, saving Gotham or something. Bruce didn't go into details, but he could see that the madman's behavior was getting more and more intense, to the point where it affected Bruce's life. And just after Thomas and Martha advised Bruce to take strong measures against the madman, such as calling the police, Bruce did not show up at the agreed dinner for a family of three. At first, Thomas and Wayne thought it was a thunderstorm, and Bruce was unable to get back to Wayne Manor in the suburbs from his apartment in the city. But then the phone couldn't get through, and they knew something was wrong. Eventually, Gotham police found him in Bruce's apartment, where he was already brain damaged.
In addition to giving Bruce the best treatment afterwards, Thomas and Martha did not give up the investigation of Bruce's victimization. In the end, other factors were ruled out one by one, and the murderer was left with the only possibility of the madman. Unfortunately and weirdly, although many people know that Bruce has been haunted by such a madman during that time, no one knows where the madman came from, what his identity is, and no one has even seen his appearance, even his height and size, there are several theories. What is certain is that everyone around Bruce is not suspicious, and every time the madman wants to talk to Bruce, he always finds a time when there is no one around him. This is something that not even Bruce's most complete schedule can do.
There was no fixed dress, no uniform look, no useful information, and things dragged on year after year. Although Police Chief James Gordon is personally in charge of the case and has never closed it, it has been a long time since there have been new clues or even new speculations. Now, more than ten years later, Thomas and Martha, as parents, only know the word 'mystery' about the madman's murderer.
At first, the Waynes thought that they would be able to learn about the murderer from Bruce when he recovered, but in the past two or three years, they have no such idea. What they hope for now is to find a suitable treatment to cure Bruce's cerebral palsy-like brain injury and bring him back to life, and that's it.
