Chapter 1527: Bat Nest Farce (Part 2)
At first glance, Red Hood's words sounded fine, and they were a step down for Damian. However, the reason why Thomas, Martha, and Bruce frowned at the same time was actually that they all discovered the social education ratio of the original Bat family. What they imagined was even more lacking.
Damian's request for a seat from Nightwing is more like an all-round provocation to authority. First, Nightwing is older than him. Secondly, Nightwing is the leader of the outsider group. Thirdly, Nightwing also assumes more responsibility for taking care of others in this family than Damian, and the time of sitting down is the least important point.
This means that both Damian and the Red Hood are completely unaware of what is happening on the field, do not understand normal social rules, do not understand social codes, and cannot even feel the emotions output by others.
I believe that many people will feel very broken when they encounter the kind of person who blindly does what is asked of him without paying the price, who expresses his emotions regardless of the occasion, and who thinks that everyone should just tolerate him and follow his ideas.
Many times, this kind of person does not spread malice, but the lack of social education prevents him from knowing how to find his own position and influence other people in the group in a rational way, so he can only export emotions, which looks like a bad move. .
Damian actually felt that he should sit closer to Thomas, because he felt closer to Thomas, but he had no idea how to use this reason to impress others. He could only ask blindly, or find something that sounded very good. Ridiculously lame reasons.
Nightwing had not stayed in the manor for a few days before, and it was the younger Dick who was close to Elsa, not him, but Damian just found a reason that made no sense at all without any psychological scruples. , and even firmly believe that this reason can impress the other party.
Social habits and thinking are established through gradual exploration in society, and Damian's behavior means that he should not have explored at all.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of Thomas, Martha and Bruce, Damian walked to the seat at the end, and throughout the meal, he just kept inserting his fork into the vegetables on the plate. The face does not speak.
He felt aggrieved in his heart. He didn't know why he was suddenly so far away from the people closest to him, almost invisible, and the way he vented his emotions was to go to trouble Ye Yi after breakfast. .
This series of operations looks too much like a naughty child, but fortunately, Martha, who grew up in the Kane family, had similar confusion when she was young. Why did instinct and rules conflict? But she can only obey the rules? Why does her family clearly say they love her but never compromise on some things?
After Damian had a fight with Nightwing in the back garden and beat himself to a pulp, Martha sat on the front steps and called him over, hugged him to comfort him, and then asked him why he did this.
People are more likely to break down emotionally when facing their mothers, because there is less antagonism between mother and child, and no one has to resist their mother's love like they resist their father's authority, at least in front of Martha.
Damian only lasted about thirty seconds before he started to complain to Martha nonstop, but he still didn't realize what the problem was. He was still saying that Nightwing was unwilling to give up his seat to him, and Red Hood said that he got up late. But he obviously got up very early just to be pestered by Aisha and so on.
After Martha listened patiently, she began to explain to him bit by bit why he couldn't ask Nightwing to give up his seat in a commanding tone, why they had to sit according to their seats instead of sitting randomly, and even why this Most social situations in society are actually an enlarged version of finding a seat.
In the next few days, Martha, Bruce and even Thomas worked tirelessly to deal with the trivial frictions generated in these complex social relationships, and these ignorant lambs also learned how to accept the kindness of others while constantly hitting walls. The influence of abandoning the bad, and at the same time how to use one's position to influence others.
All Robins are smart, without exception, and what's special is that the members of the Bat-Family are great at learning by doing, and within a few days they begin to understand how Wayne Manor works.
Damian finally learned that if he wanted to sit next to Thomas the next day, he had to first go to Thomas to ask him for permission, then go to Alfred to add a chair, and finally go to find a doll to place opposite Elsa. Prevent her from chewing the plate sadly.
And Nightwing finally learned to use his dignity when facing all those over whom he could exercise power, to restrain them from causing trouble, instead of rushing to clean up the mess after they caused trouble, and then making a mess of his own life.
But this is not the end. After exploring their personal positioning, they began to form groups. They were divided into different small groups according to age, familiarity, and activity time. Groups and groups had to find their own positioning, and at the same time, various groups emerged. communication and friction.
In addition to the big and small Robins, the representative group also formed the group of Harley, Jason, Elsa and Damian who were looking for black diamonds before. It is also the first group to mix the big and small Robins, and they want to work together. The two Dick's groups who went to ballet class, the group who also learned anatomy topics from Bruce, and the group of Nightwing, Dick, Red Hood, and Elsa who needed to go out for a ride every night.
They began to learn how to balance their status in a small group and use it to consolidate their position in the larger society, deal with the contradictions caused by conflicts between preferences and rules, and decide the degree to which they sacrifice their individuality for the group, so as to gain a clearer self-awareness and a more stable personality.

When Bruce said this, Gordon and Barbara looked at him, and Gordon said, "Isn't this a good thing? This is a rare educational opportunity, and you don't even have to work hard."
Barbara also sighed and said, "Thank God, they can finally learn to be more mature. You don't know that when I was with them in the Batcave before, a small matter could cause a world war. Everyone was so childish. Sometimes I also complained that Batman should really care more about them."
"But now it seems that it's useless for Batman to care alone." Barbara pursed her lips and said, "Besides, he doesn't have much time to care."
"If it's so smooth, why did you come here?" Gordon asked again.
Bruce sighed deeply and said, "After they kept getting along, they finally realized that everyone in Wayne Manor was a community of interests, and they should unite to fight for status for this group."
"Isn't that great?"
"Then where do you think they plan to fight for status?"
Gordon looked at Bruce with wide eyes and said, "Isn't it the whole of Gotham?"
"Congratulations, you got it right." Bruce stretched out his hand to cover his eyes and said, "All the children united and started to fight crime in Gotham."
Gordon opened his mouth, thought for a while and said, "Although I don't quite agree to let such young children wander around Gotham, their hearts are at least good. Who hasn't had dreams of fighting crime and upholding justice? Right? Batman?"
"You You don't think they're going to rush up and fight the criminals, do you? "
"Isn't it?"
"They can fight by themselves, why do they have to unite?"
Looking at Gordon's puzzled expression, Bruce said helplessly: "They are not a team, but a gang. God knows what they have learned recently! They don't want to save Gotham, but want to dominate Gotham!"
Bruce put one hand on the table and began to count on his fingers: "One day, after Dick finished his ballet class, he didn't take the bus home, but ran home from the roof. On the way, he saw the new food and snack street and goods street near the Gotham train station."
"He originally took the other kids there to eat and drink, but Damian somehow asked the business secret of one of the stall owners. It turned out that the small vendors Knowing in advance that Gotham was going to hold a grand music festival, there would definitely be a lot of outsiders, so it would definitely be worthwhile to grab a stall near the train station in advance. "
"Damian immediately felt that he had found the capital to survive in the business world, so he urged Jason to rent a stall with him so that they could sell goods here. Jason thought that they should make money together, so he found the members of the original children's gang and asked them to buy some popular small commodities and sell them on the streets here. "
"But setting up a stall in Gotham must be approved by the gang. The gang there had never seen them before and thought they were here to cause trouble. A conflict broke out between the two sides, and as a result, Nightwing led several other older children to beat them all down. "
"At this time, Red Robin found that setting up a stall in person was not as profitable as sitting behind the scenes, so they replaced the original The gangs began to charge all stall owners a threshold fee, and then they found that the two gangs next door also had good footholds, which were particularly suitable for connecting to the area they controlled to form a large market. "
"I don't know what Red Hood was thinking. After the others figured out the headquarters of the two gangs, he threw Aisha into the opponent's arsenal and ate all their weapons. So the two gangs surrendered without a fight, and they took over the two largest areas near the train station that were suitable for setting up stalls. "
"And Damian didn't know how he learned the skills to clean up his name without a teacher. He asked Tim to write a letter to the Gotham City Government, claiming that they would carry out the "Gotham King Music Festival Cultural Exhibition" near the train station, and package the three streets and a square near the entire train station into a shopping street disguised as a music and cultural exhibition. "
"All of them played several roles and wrote letters to the city government. Some played the down-and-out artists who wanted to exhibit their paintings, some played the wandering musicians who wanted to perform in residence, some played the small vendors who were desperate for a stall, and some played the peripheral product customizers who could ship in bulk. They acted out a scene where cultural activities were bound to win and stalls were in short supply. "
"That idiot Luo Yin really fell for it. It wasn't until he came to me and asked if the Wayne Group wanted to invest in this cultural event that I realized that the handwriting on the letters he brought was so familiar that hundreds of letters were all written by these little bastards. "
"In less than a week, they had swindled more than 20 million US dollars in investment, 80% of which was invested by Gotham's gangs. ”
“They drew more than 20 Gotham street scenes and cultural posters, took more than 200 real-life photos, and built an official website to put them all on. After completion, it became a hit on the Internet within a week, with more than 400,000 views and more than 30,000 reservations. ”
"The reporters' tickets for six East Coast TV stations have been booked, including Clark Kent. My stupid reporter friend also wants me to provide him with a tour suggestion in advance. Even Amazon Princess Diana said she wanted to come and learn advanced tourism development experience, and asked me to organize a banquet so that she could meet Gotham's genius curator."
Gordon covered his eyes, and Bruce sighed again, then looked at Barbara's face and said.
"Now, Miss Gordon, you have a new task, which is to get an extra 20 million US dollars in addition to the investment in the music festival, and find a way to organize this cultural display event-it is almost a wasteland now."
Barbara slapped her forehead.
