The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 1653 No time to die (43)

Batman has imagined countless times what he would say if he could see his parents again one day in the future, but in fact, even in the warmest possibility he imagined, almost no family of three sat around Wayne Manor again A scene of chit chat by the fireplace.

Now it seems that the reality is a little more "warm" than the scene he imagined. Not only his parents, but also the old housekeeper who has been with him all the time. The only problem is that the topic of discussion is a bit different from what Batman imagined. Same.

"Bruce, come and sit down, we have to talk to you about something." Thomas beckoned to Batman, then pointed to the opposite sofa.

Batman's lips moved, but he still couldn't say "call me Batman" to his biological father. It's not that he didn't want to say it. The key point was that Thomas came with a gun today.

Batman walked over and sat down, and then glanced at Thomas and Martha from under the mask. They were much older, but not as old as Batman imagined, mainly because people looked like they were angry when they were angry. It will be much younger, and now the two of them can be called radiant.

"Little Bruce, we have to have a serious talk with you about something. What are you doing recently? Why do you want to interfere with me and your father?"

Batman opened his mouth, but he didn't expect Martha to ask this question. Soon Thomas also looked at Batman and said, "You don't care about the business of the Wayne Group, but you don't care about those gangsters." Here comes the broken work, I just asked Alfred to find out, you don’t care if the Robins don’t come home!”

"I……"

In fact, in just a few seconds, Batman prepared a long list of drafts, the main purpose of which was to explain why he wanted to be Batman and how Gotham became what it is now. He thought it was very interesting. Necessary, because in his vision, it is absolutely impossible for his parents to accept him as Batman.

Thomas and Martha seem to accept this well. Batman prepared a whole set of explanations and persuading them to no avail, but Batman finds that he is not completely happy, but a little dazed, and there is a trace of other things. It's so painful that I can't even feel it.

Children always complain that their parents control them too much and are too tough, and they always complain that their parents plan their life route too rigidly, but if one day you do something out of the ordinary, your parents don't care, they just look on coldly, and they will inevitably go to the hospital. Think why they don't care about me anymore, don't they love me?
People are animals that worry about gains and losses, and Batman is no exception. If Thomas scolded him very strongly, reprimanded him for not caring about the Wayne Group's business, dressing up in a strange way and going to the street to throw his fists to embarrass the family, then Batman would definitely be very angry. He has no right to question his choice.

But Martha and Thomas seem to have completely skipped the questioning stage, as if it is very reasonable for him to appear in Wayne Manor in the middle of the night in tights, and they even He was not asked to take off his mask.

Is this reasonable?It doesn't make sense at all.

So Batman hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and asked, "You don't think...I mean, I, you don't think I..."

"What's the matter with you?" Martha asked, and then the loving lady gave an enlightened look, and said, "Well, little Bruce, don't listen to your dad, he didn't say you had to go to Wayne Group work."

"Martha, let's not change the subject, Bruce, why on earth are you doing these things?"

"You mean Batman? I..."

"No, don't think about Batman, I mean why do you want to get involved in gang fights? Don't you know it's dangerous? Why can't you take the card and fly to your friend's farm for a few months, Leave space for me and your mother to solve the emotional problems between the two of us?"

"...farm? What farm?"

"Aren't you good friends with Clark in this universe?"

"Clark? Clark Kent?"

"Yeah, that farm boy you bought him a Lamborghini tractor, his dad is old Kent from Kansas, we met at the Met Produce Trade Association, and he invited me and your mom to his farm Vacation."

"...?"

"Thomas, what about the ingenuity you are so proud of?" Martha said helplessly, "You have confused the two universes! These things have never happened in this universe, maybe little Bruce doesn't know Where's Clark?"

After finishing speaking, Martha looked at Batman and said, "Why don't you take advantage of this time to get engaged to Selena and go on a honeymoon together? I agree with your father on this point, you have to give us some private space .”

"Selena..." Batman couldn't help calling out the name he hadn't called for a long time.

"You won't quarrel with her again, will you? Okay, so does your professor have any travel plans recently? You can go to Europe with him for a study tour. Anyway, don't make trouble in Gotham. Your mother and I will handle our relationship problem."

Batman's mouth opened and closed, then opened again, and for a few seconds he hesitated to speak, stopped and wanted to speak, but finally didn't know what to say.

For most of the first half of his life, the vast majority of the words he heard were things like "Batman, you're needed here!", "Batman, this trouble is up to you!", "Batman, This is up to you!"

Batman, who has said "get out of my Gotham" to others all his life, was finally hinted at "get out of my Gotham" by others with euphemistic words.

Batman understood what Thomas and Martha meant. What was going on was that you were in the way here. It was better to leave Gotham and find a class for yourself. What is going on?

Just when Batman was thinking in a daze, Thomas and Martha started arguing about the quarrel they hadn't finished before, anyway, it was always about the education of the Robins.

One was whether Damian should be raised and whether raising Damian would make the other kids sad, one was whether Dick should add a social etiquette class after school on Friday nights after all, one was It's that brown-red pony in the racecourse again, can Aisha, who just entered kindergarten, be able to ride it...

Batman simply didn't know how they could accurately find two completely opposite points of view among so many trivial issues, and quarreled for hours.

But I have to admit that Batman feels a little awkward. Why do Thomas and Martha want to have an argument about the way they tie their shoelaces when it comes to the Robins? The biological parents just frantically skipped all the way, completely with the attitude of finding a place for you to stay by yourself?

In fact, Thomas and Martha can't be blamed for this, mainly because they stayed in the universe where Schiller was in for a long time, and most of the time they were dealing with Bruce in that world.

Before, Thomas had seen Schiller's medical certificate for Bruce. The list of disease names on it dazzled Thomas' eyes. After all, he had raised Bruce for so many years. His son had abnormalities in some aspects, and he also had Perceived.

Again, Bruce was not very normal when he was a teenager. Despite his amazing genius and wisdom, he did have problems with being unsociable, rigid in behavior, and slightly indifferent in emotional attitude.

Thinking about it this way, it is not easy for this child to grow into what he is today, but if he is not dedicated to goodness, what else can Thomas ask for from this proper villain template?

Martha, on the other hand, is more realistic and decisive. The Kane family she was born in is much more prosperous than the single-line Wayne family, and there are countless side branches and side branches.

The children raised by this kind of family are very clear that raising children is like investing, not every investment will pay off, but they must decide whether to increase their positions based on the rising trend.

Some children have already written "I am not good at running a business" or "I am not good at running a business" on their faces. If their parents still invest blindly, the final result is that their own team will never be able to squeeze into the core interests. group.

In fact, if you look at it this way, Martha should support Thomas in cultivating Damian as the heir, because Damian is indeed the most suitable to inherit the Wayne family among all Robins.

But what Martha objected to was that Thomas' actions were too rough. He said he wanted to train Damian, so he kept holding Damian in class. Martha, who was born in the Kane family, knew very well that such a training method was harmful. greater than profit.

One is that it is easy to cause problems behind closed doors, the other is that you only attend classes and do not socialize with children of the same age, and your network of contacts is not wide enough. The interior was breached.

Although Thomas said that he did not let go of his attention to other children, he actually paid a little attention to his eldest son, Dick, and ignored both Jason and Tim.

Although this is understandable from the perspective of the structure of a traditional big family, the eldest son and the heir are the most important, but Martha had a more smooth and gentle way to solve this matter, and Thomas insisted on acting like a brat , Of course Martha will be very angry.

In essence, this also has something to do with their growth background, family structure and class. Thomas pays attention to reality. To manage in an orderly manner, to maintain harmony with the outside world, and to leave everyone decent, is the way of real upper-class society.

But the two agreed on one thing only, and that was that their own son, Bruce Wayne, didn't look like he could inherit the family.

One is that Bruce may have mental problems, and it would be inhumane to let him bear such a heavy burden. After all, he is his own son, and it is not bad to be able to live well.

On the one hand, Bruce doesn’t seem to be interested in this. After Thomas came back, the Bruce Wayne Group in the universe where Schiller was located didn’t care. He didn’t do scientific research either. Fruits and vegetables, or go to the Kent farm to grow barley and wheat.

Bruce, who has been busy building the world recently, has even disappeared directly. Without this debt collector dangling in front of his eyes, Thomas feels that the world is better.

The joy of reunion has been exhausted on Bruce. After the couple returned to the main world, they looked at how redundant Batman in this universe was.

Since you are living a good life, then go live a good life, go on vacation, fall in love, even learn magic, why not be better than dying in Gotham?

When Batman walked out of Wayne Manor, he was still in a daze. Originally, he thought that he would not be able to say "Get out of my Gotham" to his biological parents, but he didn't expect that the other side was also holding back.

But where can Batman go if he leaves Gotham?
No, Batman thought, Gotham still needs him... wait, does Gotham really need him now?
