Time Miko

Bruce is not sitting in front of the computer in the Batcave, nor is he on some occasion where a playboy should be present. Tonight, he is just sitting quietly on the expensive carved leather sofa in the living room. The floor-to-ceiling windows spilled into the room unobstructed, illuminating every corner of the house.There was no one in the house. Damian was allowed to go on night watch alone for the first time today. As a qualified super housekeeper, Alfred would never show up when he received a signal from his master that he wanted to be alone. In this room, but it doesn't mean he won't appear outside the door.

"Ah Fu, aren't you going in?"

Alfred is used to this woman's voice coming from any place, maybe this is her ability.

"...No, Master Bruce wants to be alone"

Antana looked at him for a long time, then moved his gaze to the exquisite antique wooden door in front of him, looked at him for a while, and continued:

"Why didn't he go to him?"

Alfred was amazed at what Antana knew. After all, the problem that Bruce is currently troubled with is that he is only guessing. Although he has full confidence to prove the correctness of his guess, even Damian, even How did Antana know something that even Tim didn't know?

But considering that she even knew that Jason was still alive, Alfred slowly let go of it. Maybe this woman really has some unknown abilities.

When thinking about this layer, he suddenly thought of a problem, and his shrewd eyes stared at Antana closely through those already somewhat cloudy eyes, until Antana felt a little strange, and turned his gaze back with her question.

In the end, Alfred made a decision:

"...No, this matter should be asked by the master.. Go back and rest, it's time for the lady to sleep"

After looking at him, Antana turned around and slowly moved towards her room.

After watching Antana's figure disappear around the corner, Alfred glanced at the closed door again, finally sighed and turned to leave to prepare Master Damian's supper and Master Bruce's coffee.

Of course Bruce knew what happened at the door. The rooms in the mansion were not deliberately soundproofed, at least his hearing could clearly understand what happened outside the door just now.

When the sound outside the door completely disappeared, Bruce closed his eyes, showing a rare tiredness:

"What are you doing here?"

The voice was low, like talking to himself, but Bruce knew that it was loud enough for someone floating outside the window to hear clearly.

"......Your heartbeat is very chaotic, let me come and take a look"

Superman skillfully pushed open the window and floated in from the outside.

"...don't listen to my heartbeat"

Bruce thought of a lot of opening lines, and even thought of how to refuse to answer Superman if he asked a question, but he never thought that Superman would use this sentence as an answer.

"..lol, it dances so messily that I'm not eavesdropping at all"

Superman laughed and laughed, wanting to liven up the atmosphere in the room.

But the heavy atmosphere in the room did not dissipate without his words. When his last words disappeared, the room fell into an endless silence until Bruce spoke again:

"Aren't you asking me why?"

"You don't mean to say no?"

Superman's answer made Bruce feel relieved. Yes, he is the one who knows Superman best, and Superman is also the one who knows him best. They have always been like this, haven't they?

"...I don't know what to do...sometimes I keep thinking if I hadn't left Jason alone that day...or I was paying more attention to clowns.....even if I hadn't So hastily buried him early..."

A familiar hand held his shoulder tightly with familiar strength and temperature, and what seemed to be endless strength and courage came from that palm.

"That wasn't your fault, Bruce."

"..of course it was my fault..."

"...that's not your fault, Jason is a good boy and he knows it"

The palm on the shoulder was a little harder, as if to prove the correctness of the man's words.

"...Clark..."

"...Bruce, if you need my help, just call me, you know"

"Well..I know, you've been"

"..but if you don't want me to meddle, I won't meddle, so what I want to say is.. whatever your decision is, don't do things that you regret"

In the eyes of others, Batman may be a paranoid. Even among the few people who know him, most of them equate him with paranoid.

Gotham is a place where everyone can do their best. It is full of temptations, violence, and crimes. It is an area that cannot be covered by the law.

This is a hotbed of crime, but it is also home to countless people.

What happened to Bruce Wayne is not unique. Fortunately, he has a good butler who protects him when he is most helpless.

And how many people in this city are as lucky as Bruce Wayne?

Those children who have lost their parents and have to be reduced to the bottom of the society may become the cubs of some gangsters, or they may have to be reduced to prostitution in order to survive, or they are adopted by a hypocrite and have to do a lot of things they don’t want to do but can’t Of course, those who don't do things are relatively lucky and have been taken care of to a certain extent, but Bruce Wayne is lucky compared to them anyway.

Some of these kids have been the bottom of the society all their lives, some have found the opportunity to leave Gotham, and some have stayed in Gotham to protect those who have suffered similarly to them, become a policeman or something .

But only Bruce Wayne became Batman, the incarnation of the darkness that made Gotham tremble.

He can have many choices. He has enough financial resources and means to slowly infiltrate the entire political circle of Gotham to carry out a major shake-up of Gotham. He has enough resourcefulness to control the dark forces in Gotham and let them contain each other. Instead of taking action against ordinary people, he can stand in the sun and become a righteous leader, leading everyone to collectively fight against the dark forces entrenched in Gotham.He has many choices and enough conditions to do so, but he chose the most paranoid method to become a vigilante who fights criminals independently.

Dick, closest to Bruce, once said: "He's atoning"

But Superman doesn't know whether Dick knows that Bruce's atonement mentality comes from his inability to forgive himself for wanting to take that dark path.I don't know if Dick knows that Bruce's strange self-destructive mentality stems from his deep love.

This man buried all his love deeply in the deepest part of his heart, and then magnified his hatred infinitely on the outside.

He always looks so indifferent.Rejecting people is thousands of miles away, but in fact, his refusal always has his considerations.

He's worried that Superman's overpowering powers will hurt the city he loves so much, so he tells him to get out of Gotham.

He worried that relying on Superman would make the Robins weak, so he made him less involved in Gotham affairs.

He's worried...he's worried too much anyway, but it can't be denied that he's right to be worried.

And all I can do is be there when he feels he needs him.

This cognition frustrated Superman, who has always been high-spirited. Thinking of what Batman had done to him, Superman felt even more hated for his incompetence. Of course, Bruce would never ask for help even if he was pushed to the extreme. hate.

But what else could he do?Who makes Batman and Bruce Wayne such a stubborn man who sticks to his own opinion.

So at this moment, all he can do is hold tightly to this rare man in front of him who is exhausted, and use his own way to send him the signal "I'm here" as much as possible.
