Chapter 1784: S: Apocalypse (51)
The Spider-Man trio met Harley at the children's shelter.
By this time, Hallie was already white and chubby, and she looked up and said to the dean, "Please, Mr. Pence, don't find me an adoptive family, I can't stand them!" โ
"The couple who came yesterday were arguing like parrots, the two ladies of the day before yesterday were too fond of telling bad jokes, and there is a family that has five children and needs to be adopted, or you should send me back to where I was staying."
The dean, known as Pence, said, "It's because of your wit that everyone wants to adopt you." โ
"Come on, it's because I'm the fattest, they don't look down on those skinny kids, but they don't want to think about it, I can eat myself thirty pounds in the slums, can they handle it?"
Dean Pence also sighed, touched Harry's head and said, "I wonder how you did it, the children who came in at the same time as you saw you and ran away as if you were going to eat them." โ
Hallie rolled her eyes and said nothing, then she turned her head to see Spider-Man and his party, and she recognized at first glance Damian, who had been with her the longest time, and his gloomy temperament could not be imitated.
Harley immediately rushed over, crossed her hands on her hips and raised her voice, "Today, the containment staff said to sweep the streets, and I wonder which unlucky ones were picked up, it turned out to be you." โ
Then she let out a few more smacks, looked Spider-Man up and down, and said, "How did you starve yourself like this?" You're not going to go to the streets to the east, are you? There's not much to eat over there. โ
Damian felt a little embarrassed and stopped talking, Spider-Man touched his stomach and reminisced about the full meal he had just eaten, only Bruce said calmly: "We are indeed in the east, because we can't survive anywhere else except there." โ
"Bruce!" Damian raised his voice and told Bruce Jr. to stop talking.
Harley grinned twice, looked at Damian and said, "One of you has such strong assassin skills, and the other has the most talented brain in the world, and these are not limited by physical limitations, is it interesting to be reduced to grabbing food with disabled children with those disabled or born defects?" โ
"Halle Quezel!" Damian shouted Hallie's name, but Harley plucked out her ears and said, "It's better that you can all get to the bottom of Gotham with these skills, what the hell is rotten about this city." โ
"You're right." Bruce Jr. was not as calm as a human, and when Damian turned his head to look at him, he felt a chill in his back, and some familiar feelings came back again, and he actually found that he saw the shadow of a full-body Batman in the young Bruce Jr.
"It's an unimaginable city, and I would never have dreamed of a place like this in the city I live in until I saw all of this." Little Bruce said expressionlessly: "And you are right, with the memories of the reborn can still be mixed into the old, weak, sick and debris, I don't know how to describe our stupidity." โ
Damian's face flushed with anger, but little Bruce turned to look at him and said calmly, "You think we're saved, don't you?" Why don't you want to think about who saved you? โ
"Yes, of course...... Of course, we were lucky! โ
"Is your luck really good?"
Damian choked on it, and he thought about it for a moment, and during this time, his luck had been rotten to the bottom.
"What happened to us before is not because of our bad luck, you better wake up and stop lowering my understanding of your IQ." Bruce said unceremoniously.
Damian's angry face turned blue and white for a while, he could never talk about Batman, and now even the young Batman could taunt him.
"It's like you're smart, so why didn't you turn things around?" Damian held back a sentence for a long time.
"I really didn't have the ability to make a change before, but at least now I can see it clearly." Bruce Jr. stared straight at Damian and said, "Someone saved Gotham, but not the gangsters." โ
"Who's that?"
"Batman."
Bruce turned his head to look at a small television in the hall, which was playing a news, and Damian followed his gaze, and then he saw the presenter on the TV making an introduction.
โโฆโฆ Naiwei Group is carrying out a new round of bailout financing, the head of the group said that while developing the economy, we can not stop caring about people's livelihood, the latest 27 children's shelters have been completed in the eastern district, and at the same time call on people in all districts to visit the shelters to donate, and those who meet the conditions can adopt ......"
Damian was completely in front of the TV.
"Neville Group?! That's not our ......."
"He's doing it for you." Bruce Jr. sighed and said, "Maybe I'm also expressing my dissatisfaction with you, just in a fatherly euphemism." โ
"You used Wayne's inverted name without his consent, and you didn't really do anything with it, Batman is Batman, but you and he both have the last name Wayne, this is the most important bond between you, and he probably doesn't want you to take this surname as child's play."
Dammy clenched his fists, he thought of the hesitation in Batman's tone when he first called him Damian Wayne, he had been angry and humiliated by it, and he felt that he didn't need someone else's name.
But when he was in the Bat family, he was often complacent about it, only he and Batman were the same surname, they were father and son, and they were a family in the most traditional sense.
Damian stared at the TV with red eyes, he didn't know what emotions were hovering in his heart at the moment.
Maybe it's the humiliation of being saved by him in the end when he swore to reverse Batman's mistakes, maybe it's the confusion that I don't understand how Batman did it, or maybe it's also the grievance that Batman got out of the sea of suffering, but didn't come to save him immediately and didn't give him any special treatment.
Damian didn't know why Batman couldn't save him, he felt wronged.
"Because you don't think Batman is qualified to educate you." "Because he didn't succeed in saving Gotham in the real world, because he's also a loser, you think that any lecture he has to you in this regard is just that he wants to show authority, not that he is better than you." โ
"He didn't succeed in saving Gotham, and you didn't try to save Gotham, so you naturally assume in your imagination that if you were here, you would have done better than him."
"But now that the two of you are at the same starting point, and he succeeds and you don't, it proves that he is right and you are wrong, and then some kind of educational behavior of his will be interpreted by you as a humiliation inflicted on the loser by the winner."
"But in the real world, you know that you have a heavier responsibility than the other Robins, and you think that other people can make excuses to avoid this path, because they are not related to Batman, and some of them are not native to Gotham, and you think they can pat their butts and leave, but you can't."
"Batman gave you this last name, and acknowledging that you are his blood relative, means that you must inherit his mantle, and you will one day face a problem that he has not been able to overcome, and you think it is your responsibility."
"You feel like you're taking on more responsibility, so you deserve more love from Batman, and if he doesn't give it, you feel wronged, and you feel like you're going to have to give more than anyone else in the future, but now you don't get more special treatment, which is not fair at all."
"Say no more!" Damian roared, "You don't understand anything! โ
"I know Batman won't give up, he'll never give up saving Gotham until he dies, which means that once I'm going to take his cape, he's going to die!"
"None of them care if Batman is dead or not, but I know I will definitely care, I will hate the city that killed him, and I will want to destroy it instead of saving it, but then I will not inherit his cloak, but I am obviously his son......"
"Of course you are."
A figure appeared in the hallway, his voice was not low and hoarse, nor as tall as before, but it still made people know who he was at a glance.
Damian couldn't hold back any longer, he turned around and shrunk into a corner and began to sob, the anger and grievances accumulated during this time, and the psychological shadow brought about by the dark reality he saw all exploded, but he still didn't want to get close to Batman.
"Your mother gave you too much honors education, but you're still just a child."
Batman's eyes looked around, and he saw Bruce Jr. and Spider-Man, and then he said meaningfully:
"Your pain comes from the responsibilities you want to carry, but you don't have to carry anything because you are only children."
"Failing to allow children to have a stable and happy childhood is the fault of this society and the people who created social order, not the fault of weak children."
"Any action that jeopardizes the future of a race cannot be explained by inadvertent mistakes, and this is the only reason I didn't save Falcone at the time, and he is responsible for the crying of the children in Gotham."
Spider-Man, crouching on the ground, looked up at Batman, and he thought, Batman is carrying endless darkness, but because of this, the light that flashes through the gap is particularly dazzling.
The drape of darkness draped over him and the heavy shackles hanging from his hands and feet did not make him look like a prisoner, but a hero on his way to the execution ground.
Spider-Man finally understands the joker's ridiculousness.
Only a crappy actor will want to amuse everyone in a tragic performance, and it is the choice of the actor and the audience to indulge in and experience the tragedy.
Seriousness, compassion, and depth are an integral part of human art โ comedy is not the savior of tragedy.
In a world without the influence of mysterious forces, Batman saves the city in a beautiful way that everyone expects, but it's not just a dream fairy tale.
He made Batman realize that there was a special reason for his failure in the real world, and made him realize that since this reason could stop him for twenty years, it could stop him for a lifetime.
Then there is no need for the bat family he formed to do his best to be blocked for another hundred years, his Robins are still very young, they shouldn't be happy to get a ticket to a dead end, they should have a broader stage.
Batman sighed inwardly, he felt that he had finally found a way to solve the problems of the child and his parents at the same time, that is, put them together, and all the contradictions would be resolved.
Just as Batman wants to take a few children to visit the group headquarters he has just built, he suddenly hears chaotic screams coming from the street.
A huge shadow obscured the sky, and Batman looked up to see a familiar massive battleship.
The next second, Darkseid's voice came.
"Damn humans!! Go to hell!!!!! โ
