Chapter 1457: Birds and Return (Part 2)

About two hours ago, Jason and Tim, who had eaten and drank enough, planned to go to the East End to do homework with friends Jason had known before. The main reason was that they did not want to run into Thomas who might come back, and then be added more Damn etiquette lesson.

They got dressed and were about to go out when they met Bruce who came back with Aisha. Bruce rarely wore formal clothes, but wore a long-sleeved cashmere sweater and a double-breasted coat. Aisha is a complete copy of him, but with an extra scarf, her face is flushed with heat, and she is as cute as a doll.

Bruce tied each of their scarves tightly, then told them to come back to bed before nine o'clock, and then sent them out.

After Jason and Tim left, Bruce took Elsa to change clothes. Elsa had been in kindergarten for a year, and her self-care ability was already very strong. She could do things like changing clothes by herself, which also made Bruce give up. Instead of hiring an older woman to be her nanny, she planned to take care of it herself.

But this does not mean that Elsa has become a good girl. A few minutes after she entered the cloakroom, Bruce discovered that she was chewing on the wardrobe drawer. It is not accurate to say that she was chewing. Most of the wardrobe drawer had already entered her stomach. .

Bruce rushed in to subdue her, so he didn't hear the movement at the door of the manor. Alfred had not returned from sending Jason and Tim off, and he didn't pay attention to the situation outside the door.

In front of the gate of Wayne Manor, a golden lightning came from the distance. The dazzling golden light burst out for a short moment, and the figures of several people were revealed.

"Flash! You can't side with Batman this time. We can't escape when he is in trouble..."

Before the tone of condemnation was completely finished, the environment completely changed, the voice stopped suddenly, and several figures froze in place.

Barry Allen, wearing the Flash uniform, spread his hands and said: "You should know that neither I nor you can disobey Batman's orders. He will always find a way to achieve his goal, and it has nothing to do with our will."

The person who was condemning Barry just now was Barbara Gordon, the daughter of Gordon in the main universe. She was previously paralyzed by the Joker's gunshot, but after Flashpoint, she regained her mobility through surgery and returned as Batgirl.

Standing behind her, who also looked at Barry with disapproval, was Nightwing, the Dick of the main universe, Batman's first Robin. He once ran away from Bludhaven and became an independent hero, but later returned. The Bat Family.

"Barry, what are you crazy about? If we run away if an enemy comes, what's the point of returning to Batman? I'm warning you, send us back quickly!"

Jason, who was wearing a red hood, stepped forward and pushed Barry on the shoulder. Barry looked at him helplessly and said, "I told you, this is not up to me. Believe it or not, I will send you back. Next time Another Flash will send you here in a second."

"You are terrible!" Another slightly childish voice came from the back. A boy who was obviously much younger than their age came over and said impatiently: "You listen to Batman on everything, you Don’t you have your own father?”

Barry's face immediately darkened, and Tim, the red Robin wearing a red and green Robin uniform next to him, pulled the boy's arm and said, "Damian, don't talk like that."

Barry took a deep breath and did not look at them again. Instead, he walked straight forward, pushed the door of Wayne Manor in front of him and said, "I advise you to restrain yourself."

"Tch, am I scared?" Damian raised his voice and said, "'Batman's good baby', how about this new title?"

Barry opened the door, and several people followed him into Wayne Manor, looking at everything here with dissatisfaction and critical eyes. Red Hood said: "I bet the Batcave in this universe is not that good. , I’m afraid even the collection room can’t be filled.”

Nightwing didn't speak, but he silently observed everything here, and Red Robin Tim began to infer the recent events here from all the details.

"I really don't know what Batman thinks." Barbara said: "Our universe is not safe, is this universe better? Why should we escape from something that is simply inescapable?"

"I say it one last time, be careful with your language." Barry walked up the steps and knocked on the main door of the manor building.

Red Robin Tim frowned slightly and said, "What are you afraid of?"

"a lot of."

"for example?"

Barry turned around and looked at them and said: "I advise you not to talk like this, because even the Batman in this world may not dare to do this."

With a "squeak", the door opened. Suddenly, all the members of the Bat Family focused their attention on the person who opened the door, and then they were all stunned.

This Bruce Wayne is too young.

Red Hood froze in place for a few seconds, then turned to look at Nightwing, nudged him with his elbow and said, "I bet he's about the same age as you."

"He didn't just graduate from college, right?" Red Robin asked full of doubts. He opened his mouth and closed it again, but it seemed that he couldn't hold it in anymore, so he continued to say: "It turns out that Batman was like this when he was young. Style? Looks like..."

Red Robin froze for a long time and couldn't describe what the style was, but in short, it was completely different from the Batman they remembered.

This is not just a matter of age. The Bruce Wayne in front of them is not as strong as the Batman they knew. He is thinner. The blue eyes in his eye sockets are now brighter, and his eyes are not so mysterious and unpredictable.

He is not like the Batman they know, who always wears a full bat suit whenever and wherever he appears.

Bruce wore a long-sleeved turtleneck sweater and dark brown wide-leg pants. His half-long black hair was tied behind his head, with a few messy strands of hair falling on his forehead. He was holding a drawer with suspicious teeth marks in one hand and a drawer with suspicious teeth marks in the other. Carrying a little girl who looked exactly like him.

It’s hard to say that this image is life-like. In addition to his face being a younger version of Bruce Wayne, he looks more like a man who has been fighting for half his life with his rebellious son, lazy husband, difficult neighbors, and even his children’s classmates and mother who are prone to comparison. Desperate Housewives.

But the impact of this image is really strong. It makes the members of the Bat-family who first arrived here completely forget about Batman's numerous evil deeds and threw them here without any regard for their opinions. Instead, they are filled with two questions - —"Is this Batman?", "How did this Batman look like this?"

"Hey, Bruce, long time no see, do you still remember me?" Barry walked forward with a smile.

Bruce put down Elsa who was holding him and held her hand to prevent her from rushing out and biting someone. He looked at Barry, as if waiting for him to give an explanation.

Barry took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Bruce and said, "Your professor asked me to bring it to you. He is rushing to Washington to attend the academic conference. The letter contains all the explanations."

As Bruce opened the letter, Barry said: "But I still have to explain to you in advance. The Batman in our world wants to send members of the Bat Family to stay for a period of time. It was originally going to be entrusted to Professor Schiller, but he I’ve been very busy lately, so I asked me to send them to you.”

As Bruce read the contents of Schiller's letter, he glanced up at the Bat-family members who were all staring at him.

After a while, he folded the letter again and stuffed it back into the envelope. He led Aisha back a few steps, opened the door wider, and said, "Please come in."

No one moved.

Bruce stepped back a little more, allowing more space. Barbara seemed to be in disbelief, looking into Bruce's eyes and asked: "You just let us in? Where are the security equipment? Where are you going to take them out from?" ?”

"There is no security inspection equipment." Bruce hugged Aisha again and said, "The letter has already told you your basic situation. Come in."

Several people looked at each other, but no one dared to take the first step.

Fortunately, Barry became the first to take advantage of the situation. He walked through the door - there were no strange scanning lights, no trap control devices falling from the sky, no electric shockers, and no suddenly turning cameras.

He walked up to Bruce safely and smoothly, and stretched out his hand to tease Elsa. The red hood swallowed, looked around, and then said, "Okay, I'll go first, you guys look at Damian."

After saying that, as if he mustered up the courage to die, he was the first to step up the steps, stretched out one leg and carefully crossed the threshold of the door.

When he looked up, he found Bruce looking at him as if he was crazy.

The red hood had no time to pay attention to his gaze. He was concentrating on the foot he had landed on the ground, feeling whether he had landed on the ground. After feeling the solid touch of the floor, he quickly raised his other foot. Step in with one foot.

Three seconds later, the person was still standing. The red hood let out a long breath, and swooped to the open space next to the sofa, waving to the others.

Nightwing grabbed Damian's wrist tightly, with Barbara and Red Robin Tim guarding him on both sides. When they all came to the place where the red hood was, they found that Bruce's eyes had turned to look at a retarded person. General sympathy.

"Listen, this Batman is not the one we want to come here." Nightwing took the lead in negotiating: "So no matter what, you can't find a place to lock us up. If you want to lock us up, we must be locked up together. "We can't be separated because we have to look after Damian, he's still a little kid."

Red Robin Tim seemed to disapprove of his way of negotiating, so he took a step forward and said.

"We are not aliens pretending to be, we are not transformed into Clayface or the Nameless Lady, we are not robots created by Luthor, we are not mind-controlled by Hugo or the Mad Hatter, we are not threatened by the Joker, we are not manipulated There is no magic, and we are not substitutes collected by the Assassin League from around the world - we are just the Bat Family from another universe."

Just as Bruce opened his mouth to speak, Red Robin Tim immediately said: "I know you want us to get out of your Gotham, but it's obviously not what we want to get in, so I think we can make a deal. "

Bruce looked at him and asked, "What deal?"

"Since the situation is urgent now, we can..."

"Stop, where is the emergency now?"

"The situation is not urgent. How could you agree to the Batman of another universe sending us to your Gotham and letting us enter Wayne Manor?"

"He's bluffing!" Damian, who was caught by Nightwing, said in a sharp tone: "Is there a time when the situation in Gotham is not urgent?"

Red Robin Tim continued to talk to himself: "We can merge with the Teen Titans in your world and hand over the leadership to the leader of the Teen Titans here. We can also wear monitoring equipment, but you can't lock us up or force our actions."

"I don't agree." Bruce said.

"Why?"

Red Robin Tim regretted asking this question because he knew that the answer he would hear would definitely be "Because I am Batman."

But what he heard was.

"Because I don't know what the Teen Titans are."
