Chapter 285: Morning at Wayne Manor

In the early morning, the dim and hazy light sprinkled on the dining table. The light sound of glass hitting silverware was particularly pleasant. The tablecloth fell smoothly from the table. Alfred put down the last meal. Bruce, who was sitting at the main seat, nodded to him. The old butler turned around and left with a gratified look.

Bruce sat at the main seat of the long dining table. Opposite him was Selina. On Selina's right was Dick, and next to Dick was Aisha. On the surface, this was a very harmonious breakfast scene for the family of four, but after Bruce knocked the goblet with a fork to signal the start of the meal, it became chaotic again.

Most children have a very strange habit, that is, when it is not meal time, they put everything into their mouths, but when it is meal time, they seem to have a grudge against food and don't eat a single bite.

But fortunately, Aisha's appetite has always been very strong, or a little too strong. She likes to put everything into her mouth at any time and any place.

With a "crack", a piece of the plate with the sandwich was bitten off. Dick, who was drinking water, spit out a mouthful of water and coughed twice. He turned around and patted Elsa on the back, asking her to spit out the broken porcelain.

Dick hurriedly wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then gestured and said: "No, Elsa, that's not part of the sandwich! It's a plate! It's tableware, understand? You can't eat it... Wait! Put down the cup!"

With a "crack", the cup was also bitten by Elsa, and the milk inside spilled all over Elsa. Dick covered his eyes, then took the towel from Alfred and wiped the stains on her body. The old butler was smiling all the time, and seemed to like this scene very much.

"Elsa, don't bite the tableware, don't cause trouble for Alfred." Bruce said, while Alfred brought a new glass of milk and said, "Oh, it's okay, master, you spilled milk several times when you were a child, this is normal..." Bruce opened his mouth, he really wanted to say that spilling milk and biting a hole in the milk cup are two completely different things. But the fighting power of Elsa's sharp teeth is so amazing, whether it is a ceramic plate, a glass milk cup, a fiber tablecloth or a wooden table, a snap can bite off a large piece. Dick taught Elsa how to use a fork, but Elsa picked up the fork and put it in her mouth, and then "snap". The head of the metal fork was bitten off. Dick stared at Elsa with wide eyes. She chewed the metal fork like chewing gum. He looked down at his arm where the teeth marks had not faded yet and swallowed his saliva. Elsa spit out the fork she had chewed. The poor fork had been chewed into a small piece of metal that had no shape. Dick threw it away. Then he asked Alfred to get a new fork. At this moment, Elsa suddenly shouted: "Wow! Wow!!!"

Selena, who was dozing off, suddenly woke up. She rubbed her eyes and said, "Bruce, she is calling you..."

Bruce looked at Elsa. Elsa stretched out her arms to him. Bruce could only put down the knife and fork, then walked to Elsa's seat and picked her up. Then he asked Selena: "How do you know what she means?"

"Didn't you notice that Elsa is learning to speak recently?"

Selena supported her head with one hand and looked very sleepy because she slept very late last night. She said: "You were not at home last night. I played with building blocks with her, and then she suddenly shouted like this. I don't understand this. What happened? Later I found out that she seemed to want to find you..."

"Against the Gods"

Bruce held Aisha in his arms a little further away, and then observed carefully. Aisha grinned at him with her sharp teeth, and made an unclear "wa wa" sound. Dick turned around and listened carefully and said, "She seemed to want to call 'Dad', but she couldn't pronounce the letter 'P'."

Bruce held Aisha to his own seat and took a sandwich with a fork to feed her. Aisha bit off the sandwich and the fork head in one bite. Bruce hurriedly asked him to spit it out, but Aisha chewed it twice and swallowed it directly. After swallowing it, she stared at Bruce with big eyes, with an innocent expression on her face.

"Don't worry, she's fine." Selina took a sip of juice and said, "Didn't you find that your daughter has many special abilities?"

"...What special abilities?"

"Do you think a normal child can run at a speed of 120 miles per hour in three seconds? Can he jump from the third floor without any injury, and swallow three building blocks and still be alive and kicking?"

"Obviously, Aisha has superpowers."

Bruce stared at Aisha in his arms, but Dick's eyes lit up. He looked at Bruce and asked, "Superpowers??...Mr. Wayne, Aisha is your biological daughter, so you also..."

"I don't." Bruce denied it directly, but Dick Dick obviously didn't believe it. Children of this age yearn for super powers to go up and down. From Dick's expression, it's clear that he really wants Bruce to show him a take-off from the spot...

After holding Aisha for a while, Bruce stood up again, put her back to her original position, and then looked at Dick and asked him: "Where have you been recently? Yesterday at noon, I wanted to find you to go to fix the car with me, but Alfred told me that you and Aisha went out..."

"Oh..." Dick touched his knife and fork unnaturally and said, "I... I met some new friends."

"New friends, who are they?"

"Well..." Dick hesitated, and seemed a little unable to say it.

Although he knows that Bruce is not an ordinary person, he still doesn't know that he is Batman. In his eyes, Bruce is just a super rich old man from the South Side. He doesn't know if Bruce will be like other rich people from the South Side. , I hate those poor people in the East End.

But Dick and Jason had a good time. On the one hand, it was because they were close in age and there were always more topics to talk about among peers. On the other hand, his background was not very good, like Wayne Manor. The magnificent environment made him uncomfortable and a little reserved. On the contrary, Jason's shabby underground base made him feel more relaxed.

But he can't say this to Bruce, because he can stay in Gotham now entirely because of Bruce. He knows that he doesn't have the ability to wander the streets of Gotham alone like Jason.

After a few days of getting familiar with each other, Dick knew that if he wanted to get around in Gotham, he would not be able to survive in martial arts alone. Moreover, because of his young age, he was not very good at martial arts and lacked practical experience in street fighting.

Dick was afraid that if he spoke out, Bruce would make him break off all friendships with his friends. Dick didn't want to do this because he thought that street life was very interesting. Not only could he hone his skills, but he could also see all kinds of things. All kinds of very interesting things.

For example, just yesterday, the Curly Tail Gang led by Jason had a fight with the Red Mouth Gang on Hongzui Street. Although the street fighting sparrows of these teenage gangs are small and well-equipped, they not only need to gather intelligence, survey the terrain, and prepare weapons in advance , organize manpower, and even divide it into different types of troops. Some people look out, some fight, some stay behind, etc.

In short, in the society of Gotham children, the bloody and cruel side of the adult gangs is reduced, because these children cannot get any powerful weapons, and fights are rarely life-threatening, but those exciting, wild and The beauty of violence is retained, which can easily attract little boys of Dick's age.

But Dick knew that this group of wealthy people definitely didn't think so. They would rather have their children learn piano, violin, ballet, etiquette, etc.

As soon as he thought of this, Bruce said to Dick: "Since I adopted you, I have to be responsible for you. I have already told Alfred that starting from tomorrow, you will go to the boarding school in the north, where is The best boarding school in Gotham, both in terms of physical conditions and teaching staff, are among the best, and the courses there are also very rich, such as Latin, ballet, harp, etc..."

Dick looked at Selina as if asking for help. Selina shook her head and made a helpless expression.

Dick sighed. He originally thought that Bruce adopted him just to find a nanny for his biological daughter, but now it seems that he might as well find a nanny.

During this chat, Bruce finished his breakfast. He wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "I'm going out later and I won't be back until evening. Alfred will prepare lunch and dinner for you."

Said. He left the dining table. Selina stretched and looked a little sleepy. She also left the dining table and went upstairs to catch up on her sleep. Dick sat there and sighed, then picked up Elsa and said to him:

"Let's go, I'll take you out to play. My good days will come to an end in two days, and you won't be able to see me anymore."

Elsa seemed unable to understand what Dick was worried about. She kept screaming, and it could be heard from the tone and frequency of her screams that she was trying very hard to imitate human language.

Dick simply taught her: "'Papa', you should pronounce it like this, purse your lips, and then make a soft sound of 'P'..."

"This word means father, which is Mr. Wayne. He is your father, so you have to call him 'papa', but if you grow up a little bit, you have to call him papa or father."

"This word is a word used by children, but in fact these words all mean dad. It's just that one is a colloquial term for the baby, one is a colloquial term, and the other is a written term. Of course, the same is true for the words for grandparents... …”

Aisha, who had been practicing her pronunciation just now, was stunned on the spot.

originally. Language is the unique function of creatures on the order side. Chaos creatures do not need this kind of thing at all. They are born unique and have no tribe. They do not need to communicate or understand each other. They are born in chaos and will eventually return to chaos. Everything is logical. Nothing will appear in their world.

And when a creature of chaos suddenly transforms into a creature of order, it is difficult enough to understand the meaning of the existence of language itself, and it is even more difficult to learn pronunciation, tones, words, and grammar.

The parallax monster transformed into a little girl. Before she could figure out how to pronounce the simplest word, Dick told her that there were endless words in the world waiting for her to learn, which was really a headache for the monster.

Not wanting to listen to Dick talking anymore, Elsa broke away from his arms and ran out. As soon as she ran onto the lawn, she felt a somewhat familiar force approaching.

Aisha was stunned for a moment, looked up at the sky, and vaguely saw two figures, one yellow and one green, colliding together.

She tried hard to turn her brain and think for a while, then swung her short legs and ran back into the house, just when she bumped into Dick who was about to chase him out.

Elsa waved her arms and yelled at him, but Dick couldn't understand what she was going to say. Elsa imitated Dick and covered her forehead in distress.

She kept saying “Ahhh”, as if she was just one step away from saying that pronunciation.
