Chapter 1678 No Time to Die (Forty-One)

Batman was struck by lightning.

He had indeed heard The Flash talk about the Flashpoint Universe, and when he dreamed back at midnight, he also thought about the day when father and son met, but he really didn't expect that this day would come so fast and suddenly.

And not only was the father and son meeting, the loving face that had appeared in his dreams countless times, his dear mother Martha, whom he could never forget, was also standing in the room at this moment.

How can Batman stay calm? His chest rose and fell like the core of the sun, the rough breath he exhaled seemed to blow away the moon, the chaotic thoughts in his mind were like stars in the sky, and the unspeakable intense emotions that suddenly gathered in his eyes were like the wind in March, April The rain in November and the storm lingering over the polar regions in the cold winter of November.

But before he could completely sink into the sentimentality, the situation in the house was like the ruthless iron fist of reality, shattering the beautiful fantasy of this little boy who had never grown up since his parents died, about the reunion of his family at this moment.

The voice of Martha heard from inside the house was not as loving and kind as Batman remembered, but angry and slightly irritable.

"Thomas, I really don't know how you became such a stubborn person today! No, it can no longer be said to be stubborn, but rather paranoid. Your omissions in education shocked me, but you didn't want to at all. repentance."

"I think you should think more realistically, Martha. Children can't be trapped in the family forever and play those sibling games. They always have to go on their own path in life step by step. So what's the point of me doing this? What's wrong?"

"Don't use the so-called reality and reality to cover up your partiality. In my opinion, you are partial to Damian because of his blood relationship with Bruce. You focus on his education. I think it must be the same for other children. That’s right, this is definitely not what a good father should do!”

"But in terms of overall ability, Damian is indeed the most suitable person to inherit the main business of Wayne Group. It's not that the other children are not good enough, but they are not so comprehensive. So I will educate him early and train him to be a successor. What's the problem?"

"You're going to break other people's hearts!"

"As you can see, Dick is impatient to learn how to do business, Jason yearns for freedom more, Tim still has the Drake family industry to run, and Barbara wants to inherit her father's responsibilities, so it won't be easy to count over and over again. Is Damian the best?"

"But if you only focus on Damian, the other children will feel left out. A father's attention means a lot in a family, and it cannot be compensated by a mother's extra love. You know better than me. at this point."

Thomas sighed deeply, Martha folded her arms and turned her head away, saying in a slightly sad tone: "I really didn't expect that time can bring us so many changes, Thomas, I don't want to say anything hurtful." , but everything now is very different from the scene when we knew each other when we were young."

"People change, Martha, but my love for you and my children will never change."

"Love is not just about words. How many times have I persuaded you? I understand that you have been alone for a long time, and the responsibilities on your shoulders are too heavy, which makes you feel very stressed, so you have to smoke and drink, and your work and rest are irregular."

"But since everything is fine in that universe, why aren't you willing to make some changes for the sake of me, the children, and our family, and return to the strong, funny, and energetic self you were when you were young? It’s good for your health too!”

Thomas pursed his lips and remained silent until the atmosphere of silence carved traces on the wall, then he said in a hoarse tone: "The harm caused by suffering is difficult to erase. The wear and tear that time has brought to the two of us makes The gears that fit so perfectly can no longer rotate smoothly, and looking back on the past is of no use to us.”

Martha turned her back and sat on the bed, crying silently, and then said, "I really don't know why things turned out like this. Didn't we agree that when we return to this universe, we can put aside those differences and start over? "

"Maybe we all need to calm down." Thomas lowered his head and said, "After that accident, I never had time to stop and think carefully. I'm sorry, I thought revisiting our old place would make us better."

"I'm going home." Martha stood up, took out a handkerchief from the bag she was carrying and wiped her tears, then said, "I'm going back to Kane's house, and then we should all calm down and think about this." Is this relationship still necessary? Goodbye, Thomas.”

Thomas didn't say goodbye, but silently watched Martha's leaving figure, which looked a little older.

Batman, who was standing on the windowsill watching all this silently, was in a state of not daring to say a word.

The good news is that my parents are back.

The bad news is that I'm going to get divorced right after I come back.

Batman was very sure that if he had just walked out and appeared in front of his parents like this weirdo in tights, the marriage would have been divorced today.

When you reach middle age, what should you do when your parents get divorced? It's quite a rush to wait online.

But Batman had a more urgent thing now. He first found the Flash, stared at Barry's face with a death gaze, and then asked: "What's going on with Thomas and Martha?"

"What Thomas? I...well, they two want to come back. After all, this is their home, right?"

Flash Barry sighed and said, "I told you about the Flashpoint Universe before. Thomas went to another universe. You should also know that the young Batman in that universe found a way to revive Martha some time ago. The two of them have been staying in the universe of the young Batman."

"Robin was there before. They were busy educating their children, so they didn't have time to look back on the disasters in the past. But when the children left, they felt a little empty, and both of them were not in a good mood."

"One day Thomas found me and said that they wanted to go home. Perhaps revisiting the old place would remind them of the good feelings in the past, so I took them back here."

"Of course, I sent them to Robin because I was afraid that they would have an emotional breakdown. When facing children, adults are always restrained, but I actually know that this method is useless. Their experience is really terrible."

"Professor Rodriguez also said that this level of psychological trauma requires a long time to adjust. I think returning to their own home should be better for them. Sorry, I didn't inform you in advance because I knew it might not be a surprise."

Barry thought he would see Batman's sad expression, but he didn't expect it too much, because the young Batman in another universe had already given him a great shock, and now Barry would not be surprised by any expression Batman made.

But in the end, he was still shocked, because what appeared on Batman's face was not sadness or anger, but indescribable anxiety and a trace of... panic.

Barry's feeling now is that he is panicking when he sees Batman!

Batman, who is always prepared, is actually panicking. What's more amazing is that he can write this emotion on his face, and even let Barry understand? !

So how panicked is he? Is the world going to be destroyed? Barry also panicked.

Ignoring the golden lightning that disappeared in an instant, Batman flew back to the Batcave at the fastest speed like a real bat, and then began to check the monitoring screen.

The Joker, who was thrown into the cell of the Batcave, leaned against the railing and hugged his arms. He rolled his bloodshot eyes, then shrugged his nose and said, "What do I smell? A hint of family affection, you and those little birds... No, no, no, you are hesitant like a little boy. Did you see your parents? Not in a dream?"

The Joker suddenly had a gloomy expression, as if he had thought of a plan to tear Batman apart, but soon his expression relaxed again, and even became more innocent and happy than before.

"Let me guess, could it be that the parents of our poor little boy suddenly came back, and his homework hasn't been finished yet?"

"Oh oh oh! Look what I'm saying, the current situation is that not only has the homework not been done, but the house has also been set on fire, and the whole building has been set on fire, and the whole street has been blown down, and the President of the United States who just happened to pass by on this street has been crushed to death, and there are only ten minutes left before your parents come home."

With a "bang", the Joker's nose hit the railing, Batman grabbed the Joker's collar tightly, looked at him and said: "Shut up, or I'll throw you into the basement."

The Joker laughed wildly, and was out of breath. Batman, who was often disturbed by the Joker's crazy laughter, now didn't even have time to tell the Joker to shut up, because he actually knew in his heart that the Joker's summary was damn right.

Batman found that he cursed more and more in his heart recently. This was not a good sign. It meant that his emotions were gradually getting out of control, but he really didn't have time to care about this. He had to put out fires, build buildings, renovate streets, and revive the President of the United States, and he had to complete these things within ten minutes.

Thomas and Martha could come back any other time, but they had to come back when Gotham was in chaos!

As mentioned before, Batman lived at the end of the gangster era, so Thomas and Martha were actually living in the golden age of gangsters. At that time, Gotham was in chaos, but at least it was a bit like a city.

But now, looking around, the mountains in the Midtown area are all red, the red flags are flying in the upper city, and the whole Gotham is full of gongs and drums and firecrackers. There is no good place.

These two people are not in a good mental state, and they are not strong young people. If they are stimulated and their mental state deteriorates, where can he find a psychologist like Dr. Rodriguez for emergency treatment?

So Batman made a plan.

The plan was to quickly scold the Robins, quickly bring all the families to the negotiation table, quickly reach a ceasefire agreement, quickly clean up the battlefield, and finally quickly restore peace to Gotham.

But Batman forgot one thing, who would be easy to mess with the children of a big family living in the golden age of gangsters?

About half an hour later, Batman heard the good news - the Kane family declared war on the Wayne family.
