Crime Alley at night is quite infiltrating.

This is especially true after a mysterious bombing and fight that took place here just a few days ago, and according to the Gotham police, a herb shop was unfortunately burned down in the fight, and an unknown Gotham citizen was involved in this vicious case and is suspected to be missing.

In Gotham, this kind of news can basically be equated with death.

In this area with a high crime rate, no normal person would go out at night, so the black luxury car did not attract any attention when it slowly stopped at the entrance of Crime Alley.

The old lady pushed the car door open and opened it very gentlemanly for his ex-wife, and when Lady Martha walked out of the car in a lady's hat and long skirt, she also moved her shoulders a little uncomfortably.

She carried her handbag, adorned her chest with a string of beautiful pearl pendants, and whispered to the old lady beside her:

"Are you sure there are no cameras around here? How do I feel."

"That's your good son."

Damian leaned against the side of the car and explained to his otherworldly grandparents:

"He has set up a monitoring system in this city, so that he can catch the crime as soon as possible and screen and stop it, under normal circumstances, the city surveillance will not be all turned on, tonight may be because of the accident in the city."

He played with a black batrang and said:

"I've written down all the camera locations, do you want me to help remove them?"

"We don't want to get noticed."

The old lady said:

"That's it, it won't stay long anyway, you go back to the Batcave and remember to delete this record."

Damian made an OK gesture, took out a young man's cap and buckled it on his head, waiting here for the two old men like a driving attendant.

Thomas and Martha, on the other hand, wander into the crime alley in front of them, which is almost identical to the one in their world, and they walk slowly under the dim streetlights.

They were silent and silent, but each step became heavier.

The atrocities of that night thirty years ago replayed in the minds of the two of them, and they could clearly remember every detail of what happened here, just under the street lamp in front of them, by the garbage can, the shameful robber rushed out.

He didn't ask for money at all, he raised his pistol and shot at the Waynes, and poor little Bruce was shot and fell.

Blood

In the air.

Lady Martha's body shook slightly.

It was obviously a painful memory, but at this moment she had the urge to laugh out loud, she endured it very hard, but the corners of her mouth had curved to a dangerous arc.

"Martha!"

The old lady's voice struck Madame Martha's heart like a wake-up call, and she suddenly woke up from the lure of madness, reached out and took out the palliative given by Mason in her purse, twisted the lid and took a sip.

The clarity of her mind made her breathe a sigh of relief.

"You have to control yourself!"

Thomas crouched down and reached out under the lamp to touch the empty dirty ground, where there was nothing, but in the old lady's eyes, there was still blood that could never be wiped away.

He was also obviously suppressing the cold desire to kill in his heart, and said in a dumb voice to Lady Martha, who was wiping her eyes beside him:

"I wasn't going to bring you here, I thought it would be terrible to have you near Bruce, but Mason convinced me that he believed a mother's desire to protect her child trumps all mad impulses.

I also know that you hate me, that you have never forgiven me, and that I am not going to ask for your forgiveness, I just want to tell you that our children are alive in this world!

We in this world chose to accept death in order to protect him, and it was a great sacrifice.

However, there are those who hide in the shadows who want to hurt him, those malicious tentacles hide in the shadow of his cloak, he is the one who stands in the light and darkness, and he wants to protect his world.

That's what we're here for. ”

Thomas put back on his black gloves and said:

"We may not care about the survival of this world, but we want to protect our children, and this is the only possible reason for reconciliation between the two of us.

So, if you can't help yourself and get in my way, or if you go crazy again and hurt Bruce. Martha, I will never show mercy to your men again!

I'll prepare a grave for you here, right here! ”

"That's what I'm going to say to you, Thomas."

Lady Martha, wiping her somewhat red and swollen eyes, whispered:

"I don't care what the deal is between you and Mason Cooper, and I don't care what you're going to do in this world, I'm here for the sole purpose of not letting those bad guys touch my treasure.

He's been bullied for too long.

Maybe it's because the world laughs at him for not having his parents by his side, but now, he has! No one will ever be able to come near my baby until I die.

Go find someone!

Thomas, I need many, many people.

I need many, many weapons, I need many, many cannon fodder who are not afraid of death, and I want to control the darkness of the city to turn it into Batman's sword and shield.

Someone must help him endure the dark things to free my treasure from his cruel fate. ”

"But the city needs a Batman."

The old lady got up and said:

"The city needs him."

"Batman?"

Lady Martha sneered and said:

"Aren't you?"

"I'm not the one the city needs, I tried, and you saw it."

The old lady sighed, he turned and walked towards the exit of the dark alley, and said:

"Let's go, it's time to go home and have a look."

Lady Martha reached out and took off the pearl necklace specially prepared around her neck, tore it up and sprinkled it on the ground as if it were some ritual, and then followed the old lady forward without looking back.

Just as they were about to leave Crime Alley, a scream suddenly sounded from not far away, as if something terrible had happened to a girl.

The voice was full of fear and unease.

But neither of them did anything but stood there and watched, and a few seconds later, a girl in a tracksuit staggered out, holding a bouquet of white flowers for the festival, and behind her several vicious thugs whistled after her.

Apparently, they intend to "be happy".

"Hey! Geezer! I don't care about you! Yo, this aunt is well maintained, do you want to play with my brother? ”

Seeing the old lady and Madame Martha beside them, these elve-brained fellows suddenly roared unceremoniously, while the frightened girl hid beside her and shivered.

"Alas"

The old lady moved her fingers and said:

"It's really a dunghole-like place."

"Get rid of it, Thomas."

Lady Martha said with a look of disgust:

"Don't waste time."

"Bang Bang Bang"

A few shrill gunshots rang out in the dark alley, and the flickering firelight reflected the fallen figures, and the old lady did not give them a chance to escape or time to defend themselves.

He has always advocated a crisp and neat style.

"Don't look at it, good boy."

Lady Martha bent down and covered the eyes of the frightened girl beside her with a smile on her face, and when she noticed the white flower in the girl's hand, she asked:

"Who are you here to commemorate?"

"My. My ex-boyfriend. ”

The girl, frightened by the sound of the gunshot, grabbed the bouquet in her hand, and she trembled and said in a sad voice:

"He lives around here, disappeared in the chaos a few days ago, and I just wanted to tell him what I couldn't say."

"Hmm, that's miserable."

Lady Martha was relieved without emotion:

"He'll hear you, but it's time for you to go home now, it's not every day that you meet a big bad guy who goes out and is kind, listen to me, go back, find a new man to please yourself."

Isn't that the kind of thing about feelings? ”

The old lady and Madame Martha, who had done their work neatly, quickly disappeared into the darkness, and several corpses were disposed of cleanly, even the bullet casings were removed.

The frightened girl bit her lip and walked through the darkness, frightened but at last she persevered to the ruined shop, where she placed the mourning flower in her hand by the ruins, and picked up a twisted silver bottle cap in the bricks and rubble.

She remembered that the guy who had disappeared into her life used to tinker with bottles and cans in her spare time.

"Goodbye, Mason."

Wendy, the little nurse, closed her eyes, and when the wind blew her long hair, she folded her hands and whispered:

"I will continue your unfinished business, use the knowledge you left behind to help more patients, and may you be happy in another world"

Meanwhile, in Osborne's room, Mason felt the strange gaze of a group of people around him with a strange expression, and Harley at his feet had begun to grind his teeth with hatred.

"Ahem, it's not what you think!"

Mason explained with difficulty:

"Just colleagues, I swear, nothing happens that you guys imagine. Damn it! Isn't this a joke to watch the Batboy tonight?

Why are they all looking at me like that? ”

"Mr. K!"

Hallie hugged his leg and gritted her teeth:

"You're not good."

——

"I always felt that girl was a little familiar, I must have seen her somewhere."

The black luxury car drove all the way to Wayne Manor, and stopped when it approached, and the three got out of the car and walked, and Damian, who was held by Mrs. Martha, frowned and said:

"That looks like a colleague of Mason? I've seen her in Bruce's anti-Mason tactics."

"Don't think about it, it's just an ordinary person."

Lady Martha looked at Wayne Manor, which stood in the dark in the night, and as she spoke to her little grandson, she long-cherished the place where she had lived for a long time.

Wayne Manor in her world is long abandoned.

But the house in front of him is obviously well maintained, and the elegant and atmospheric appearance alone reveals the majesty and power of the first family of Gotham.

It looks like there's a charity gala going on here tonight.

This is a tradition for the Wayne family, especially after Playboy Bruce Wayne took over the family, and once a month there is a banquet for donations to the Gotham Municipal and the poor.

This is also one of the few opportunities for the local magnates to meet the legendary Wayne.

But unfortunately, Mr. Bruce, who is busy dating celebrities and high-class ladies from all walks of life, is not always there.

"We can go in and have a look."

The old lady took out two potion tubes, and inside were the compound decoction that Mason had prepared in advance.

He and Madame Martha took a bottle by themselves, and after the makeover, Damien, the heir of the family, entered the manor with a generous attitude.

The banquet was very lively, but it couldn't attract the attention of the two old men at all.

As if they were going back to their own home, they bypassed the servants and entered the main building of the manor, and under the guidance of Damian, they entered Bruce Wayne's bedroom, which barely stopped except to sleep.

And the moment he pushed the door open, the eyes of the old lady and Martha fell on Bruce Wayne's bedside at the same time.

There's an old photograph there.

It is a photo of him with his parents when he was seven years old.

The wall opposite the bed was covered with similar photographs, made into a photo wall, where all the memories of Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne were made.

"He still remembers us. He never forgot it. ”

Lady Martha burst into tears.

The noble lady, who had gone mad and been recalled, was crying uncontrollably, and the old lady's eyes were slightly red.

He controlled his expression not to show weakness, but he couldn't help but clench his fists when he saw the old stethoscope that the old man had placed in the glass cover of the cupboard as a treasure.

In another world, he also gave his son a pair of stethoscopes on his eighth birthday, hoping that his child could grow up in the future and break away from the dark business of the Wayne family and become a decent person living in the sun.

It seems that Thomas in this world has the same expectations for his own children.

Damian, who was guarding the door, watched his otherworldly grandparents stop in his father's room with a complicated expression, and he knew very well how ruthless these two people were in front of him.

Even if he hasn't been with the old lady for a long time, this ruthless old man has a position in his heart that has approached his grandfather who hung up.

Lei Xiaogu and the old lady will definitely have a lot of common language.

Many of their philosophies are remarkably similar.

But these two cold-faced evil stars who can set off a terrorist massacre at any time are now emotionally exposed to such an extent that the little madman can't help but start thinking about some topics of family and relatives.

Even if life and death are separated, even if there is a world of distance, Thomas, Martha and Bruce's relationship can still be shared to this incredible extent.

He admits that at this moment he was a little jealous of his father.

Perhaps, he should also give Bruce Wayne a chance to learn to be a good father to the man who was always cold and clumsy.

"Master Damian? Where have you been these days? Oh my God, we almost turned the whole Gotham upside down. ”

The sudden sound startled the pensive little madman.

His first instinct was to push Ah Fu away, who was approaching, for fear that the old housekeeper would be killed here by his grandfather and grandmother from another world.

But he obviously underestimated the ability of the Wayne family members to "act", and when Damian was a little at a loss, Lady Martha and the old lady had quickly sorted out their emotions.

"You! Wait a minute. You are"

Ah Fu walked to the door, and was shocked at the sight of Lady Martha's back, and then looked at the old man next to him as he turned around.

He swore that for a moment, he seemed to see the old man and his wife, who had been dead for many years, appear in front of him in a vivid manner.

However, when the middle-aged couple turned around, the unfamiliar appearance pulled Alfred back to reality.

"Hello, Butler Alfred."

The old lady took out his temperament as a business tycoon, took the initiative to shake hands with the old housekeeper with a smile, and he said softly:

"I've admired the name of the Wayne family for a long time, and I hope you don't mind coming to visit tonight."

Lady Martha, too, put her hand on Damien's shoulder with a smile on her face, and said with a smile:

"My husband and I accidentally spotted this little cutie on a trip the other day when he was in a coma on the side of the road on some dangerous medication.

We took some time to take care of him, asked for his address, and sent him back tonight.

Maybe I shouldn't have said that.

But as a butler, you should probably spend more energy on the next generation of the Wayne family's heirs, rather than letting him run around alone like a little madman.

He was only eleven years old, and he deserved a safer life. ”

Lady Martha's words shocked Ah Fu's heart, and when he looked at Young Master Damian again, he did find that the other party's face was a little pale, and he looked like he had experienced pain.

The old butler suddenly felt guilty for his dereliction of duty.

Although he still had some doubts about the identities of the two people in front of him, he still politely invited the two well-wishers to tonight's banquet, and at the same time informed Batman, who was out on night watch, to rush back to the manor immediately.

However, by the time the old man returned and picked up the disguise of "Bruce Wayne", the two "good Samaritans" had already left the manor.

Just as they came, they left quietly.

"I see him! Bruce, my Bruce, he's grown up, so handsome, and so extraordinary, like I would dream of it when I dreamed.

No, 10,000 times better than in my dreams, he is right in front of me, within reach. ”

In the woods outside the manor, Lady Martha put down the telescope in her hand and said to the old lady beside her, who had changed into a battle suit:

"Won't you take a look?"

"No, there will be opportunities in the future."

The old lady reached out and picked up the black straight-edged sword in his hand, he stroked the hilt of the sword carved like a demon, and said in a dumb voice:

"Now, it's time for us to get down to business."

"Then you go."

Lady Martha quickly took out a set of servants' clothes from her bag, and while changing, she said:

"I'm going to lurk here, I'm going to stay with my baby and I'm going to go anywhere, he's going to have to eat his mother's own food, he's going to have to rest.

Look at the way he looks, how tired he is. ”
