20 Chapter 20
"You must be kidding." Tony looked at a guy who was trying to get up despite the pain all over his body, and his face was terrible. "You've only been off for a few days? Do you want to act again? Did you know you broke two bones? One of them is still a rib! ”
"I know." Bruce's voice was as cold as the rocks in the Batcave, and he didn't care about someone's cold face and got dressed himself. "But I must."
"Ah, yes, yes, Gotham's affairs are all yours, and none of us are allowed to interfere." Tony's tone was full of sarcasm.
"Tony." Bruce sighed helplessly, his blue eyes bright and stubborn. "You know me."
So now it was Tony's turn to sigh. "Of course I do, that's why I'm going to help you hide it from everyone, including the Avengers. That's why I followed your choice not to meddle in this matter. ”
"But, more than forty years! Bruce Wayne! Except for the years when you can't talk and can't walk! We've known each other almost all my life! Tony gritted the back of his teeth, and he knelt between Bruce's knees, braced his arms at Bruce's side, leaned forward, and trapped Bruce hard against the mattress.
Bruce's pants were halfway through, and he was not wearing them now, and he was awkwardly tugging in his hands.
"Uh... Tony..."
"Shut up! You damn Wayne! Tony was carried away with anger, his brown eyes were a mixture of anger and worry. Do you know? I thought that these forty years would allow me to be treated differently from others with you, but what was the result? You're still keeping me out! Are your brains made of stone? Bruce Wayne! ”
Calm blue eyes and angry brown eyes met each other, and neither of them would back down first.
"Tony...", Bruce slid his throat and spoke first, but he didn't know what to say, just called out his friend's name meaninglessly.
Tony's eyes fluctuated, and he involuntarily leaned closer.
The two men's breaths hit each other in the face.
For a moment, the room was quiet only with the sound of shallow breathing and a flustered heartbeat.
The dutiful Jarvis was hesitant to remind his boss that his heart was beating too high and was at an abnormal frequency for the human body.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and eventually, Bruce looked away first.
"I really don't plan to take your help." Bruce stretched out his arm to naturally open Tony's confinement, slowly put on his pants, and said. "But I didn't want to carry it alone."
“… Oh. Tony came back to his senses and touched his nose unconsciously. So what are you going to do? ”
"Nightwing will come to my aid." Bruce was already dressed in his coat.
The two tacitly revealed what had just happened, pretending to be nothing.
"Ah, that discussion boy, reconcile with him?" Tony joked.
"He's an adult who knows how to prioritize." Bruce squinted at Tony. "And our relationship isn't that stiff."
"Ah, yes, you're the best master of parent-child relationships in the world." Tony said with a teasing.
Bruce gave him a blank look.
By the time Bruce had washed up, Tony's small table was full of food.
Pizza, burgers, donuts, without exception are not high-calorie foods. And Tony was already feasting.
"If you dare to eat this at Wayne Manor, Ah Fu will be the first to kick you off the table." Bruce sat down and started without disgust.
"So thank me for giving you such delicious food."
Bruce curled the corners of his mouth.
"Ah, by the way, the [Mr. Todd] you asked me to check."
Bruce's movements paused. "How?"
"He's a very interesting guy." Tony said. "Jarvis."
"Yes, sir."
Jarvis immediately called up the information.
"There is no name, no photo, his profile is horribly blank, there is almost no trace, only a birth certificate and social code can prove his identity, and the strange thing is that the birth certificate is only registered with the surname [Todd]. There is no information about primary school, secondary school, university, no public events, and the only additional information that can be found is a will that specifies him to inherit a million-dollar estate. ”
"Of course, I also checked the person who made the will, and it does exist, a lonely old man over 100 years old, with no relatives, only such a distant relative who can't be beaten."
"Other than that, nothing, it was like he suddenly appeared in this world. I can't think of any way to do it to this extent, unless he has been secretly protected by some force since birth. Tony shrugged. Or maybe he's an alien. ”
Bruce fell into deep thought. "If, according to your guess, he has been protected since birth, then why has he been showing up lately? What is he going to do? ”
"Ah, he wants to turn Walpole Enterprise into a game company. Maybe you're a game mad and want to create the funniest game ever? Tony stirred the coffee in his hand, guessing.
"Your imagination is as rich as ever, great Mr. Stark." Bruce also took the coffee from the little clumsy hand and took a sip, the sweet taste made him almost lose his expression control.
He put down his glass in silence.
"In short, whatever he wants to do, it seems harmless at the moment." Tony lowered his eyes and whispered after hesitating for two minutes. "He also has nothing to do with your Todd, at most the same color."
Bruce's gaze falls on Tony's coffee cup, which depicts a chubby Batman on the front.
"I know." He replied in a deep voice.
From the first meeting, he knew that it wasn't Jason.
Jason is sometimes an invincible lion cub, and sometimes a stubborn and fierce wolf cub.
But he will never be a cunning fox who knows how to laugh, and he will not wronged himself like that.
It's just that they're too much alike.
Bruce hung his head, and he could feel his stomach tighten tightly.
It was he who failed to control his emotions.
"I'll go first, open your secret passage for me." Bruce took advantage of the situation to straighten his cuffs, and when he raised his head again, he already had the sweet smile of Bruce's baby, which was perfect for people not to see the dawn. "You don't want anyone to find out I'm coming out of your private area, do you?"
He winked at Tony with his right eye, his pretty blue eyes full of teasing, and then turned and disappeared into the elevator.
“…… Sir," Jarvis said slowly. "Your heartbeat is not normal again, do you need me to call a personal doctor for you?"
“…… Shut up, Jarvis. Tony rubbed his hot ears.
