What if he had been a boy in Aesop, and had taken him to Bruhaven with him, after all the torture he hadn't experienced?

Will he have a cute and caring younger brother, maybe Aesop will not have such a powerful force as now, but Nightwing will protect him.

Compared to Aesop, who is now scarred and wary of everything around him, Dick would rather be Aesop who has never experienced those traumas, but he knows that it is impossible to go back in time, and it is impossible for him to snatch time gem.

All he could do, Dick looked up at Aesop who was tearing down the sofa with a knife.

Just give Aesop the best, let him feel the warmth of family, he wants family, they are his family, just...

Bruce over there...

"Oh?" Aesop stuffed the 'Naples Thorn' into his pocket casually. He had noticed Dick's burning gaze just now, so he approached Dick and looked up at the photo in Dick's hand.

"You found it."

That was the only photo of him and Peggy, but Aesop didn't want to keep it at all now, and Peggy's betrayal always stabbed him.

Tim's ears moved when he heard Aesop's words, and he immediately moved to Dick's side to look at the photos Dick found.

"God, Brother Iso? You looked exactly like Bruce when you were a child." Tim couldn't help but exclaimed.

He had never seen Aesop when he was a child, and this was the first time he saw him. How could there be a child who looked exactly like Bruce in this world.

Why didn't Bruce bring Aesop home early on?

Obviously this face alone can confirm the bloodline, but Tim quickly figured out why Batman didn't choose to do that.

Batman's Pride and Prejudice.

Aesop sneered and said, "Yeah, having a face exactly like his made me suffer a lot when I was a child."

He's referring to the Joker thing, but thanks to that Batman-like face, that's kept him alive from the first time he met the Joker.

But is it really better for him to survive?

"It's time to go." Aesop said without looking back: "Fortunately, age makes me no longer similar to him."

"Can I keep it, little bird?" Dick asked aloud.

"Follow you." Aesop's voice drifted away.

Tim stuck out his tongue and said in a low voice, "Fortunately, Aesop didn't inherit Bruce's long-windedness, otherwise I would definitely want to pack Aesop and Bruce out of the city together."

His words were heard by Dick, and Dick patted Tim on the head with a serious expression, when Tim thought Dick was going to say something harsh to criticize him.

Dick couldn't help laughing and said, "I second."

"what?"

"If Aesop is as talkative as Bruce, I'll be with you in the trunk of the Batmobile and send him out of town."

"There's no room for two long-winded Waynes in the house."

Tim glanced at this place before leaving. He didn't want to bring this place into his mind, but just sighed again in his heart. He didn't expect Aesop to live in such a place.

He never thought about the life of the poor in Gotham, probably like Aesop when he was a child.

This may be because Aesop is good at many things but can't use many things.

Aesop was almost scorched by the temperature and didn't use the air conditioner. At that time, Tim would secretly wonder why Aesop didn't turn on the air conditioner when it was so hot?

Come to think of it, Aesop wouldn't have used it at all.

Will the arrogant Aesop speak out?About not using it, naturally not.

But that's okay, Tim keeps up with Aesop and Dick.

He will teach Aesop what he doesn't, and Aesop will blend in with them, become one of them, a real home, and no longer use the Batcave as a prison.

...

...

At ten o'clock in the evening, Dick was directing the actions of Batman and Robin in the Batcave, and Damian didn't know where to play in the manor.

Alfred wasn't worried that Damian would get lost, or be caught by some small animals in the mountains behind the manor.

Alfred extinguished all unnecessary lights along the corridor, leaving only a small night light, so that some little mice who woke up hungry in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep to steal food would not live without lights. wrestling in the hallway.

There is no shortage of money in Wayne Manor, but saving is a virtue, not to mention that Bruce Wayne only signed the spokesperson of Gotham's saving promotion half a month ago.

Alfred turned off the lights and turned back to go back to the Batcave. The lights in the room not far away made him a little stunned. Alfred remembered the distribution and function of each location in Wayne Manor, and that room was the laundry room.

Who else uses the laundry room at this hour?

Except for himself, no, even his laundry is put into the washing machine during the day, and he usually puts the clothes of the master and the young master into the washing machine separately.

After washing, drying and ironing, this process takes only a few hours, and he does not do this at night.

Besides, the masters he served never took a step into the laundry, and Bruce, Dick, and Tim were the enforcers of justice at night.

In terms of life, they are used to being served, and Alfred is also willing to serve them. Washing clothes is not where they will go.

Aesop's clothes are also placed in the room and washed by Alfred before being sent back to the room, so who is in the laundry room?

Damian?What would he do there?Or, did he forget to turn off the lights this afternoon?

Thinking of this, Alfred gently removed the hidden knife on the wall that was no less than 200 years old, hoping that Master Bruce would not blame him for trying to use this cultural relic to repel the invaders.

His footsteps are light, not at all like an old man in his sixties. At this moment, he seems to have returned to his youth when he was still an officer in the US Navy. He was never a full-time housekeeper.

Actually, he's pretty good at it.If it was really an invader who attacked Wayne Manor while the master and the fourth young master were patrolling at night and the young master was commanding the battle, then he would let that guy know what it means to grow old and grow strong.

Alfred held his sword and held his breath and walked to the wide open door, a look of astonishment flashed across his wrinkled but still handsome face, there was no intruder as he thought inside, and there was nothing he couldn't find in the middle of the night Damian who came to play with water in the laundry room.

In the laundry room, there was only Aesop who was squatting on the ground in a shirt and trousers, with his long black hair tied into a braid hanging over his shoulders to prevent his hair from touching the ground.

Aesop squatted on the white tiled floor, with white soles standing on tiptoe, only the front half of the soles touched the ground. Beside him was a familiar porcelain basin, which was filled with water to soak clothes.

Alfred recognized it. The clothes were Aesop's hospital gowns yesterday, and now they were covered with mud.

Aesop was holding a brush in his hand, scrubbing a pair of dirty sneakers. Alfred also recognized them as Tim Drake's shoes.

"Good evening, Master Aesop." Alfred put his hands behind his back, as if that could block the long knife in his hand.

Hearing the sound, Aesop turned his head. He first glanced at the silver knife behind Alfred, and then put his eyes on Alfred's face. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said hello: "Good evening, housekeeper."

"...Are you here?" Alfred glanced at the familiar porcelain basin again, with beautiful colored pen and ink mandarin duck patterns, a silver-white basin body, and a chic signature stamped on the side of the basin.

Immediately, Alfred's eyelids twitched, and he remembered that this was one of the Wayne Manor's collections. Thomas Wayne used to pay a high price for the Ming Dynasty multicolored porcelain basin, which was placed in the corridor of Wayne Manor as a decoration.

This multicolored porcelain basin is in pairs, just like there is only one mandarin duck in the pattern, and the other mandarin duck is on the other porcelain basin.

Unfortunately, the day before Batman flew to the North Pole and the Justice League on a mission, Alfred had to represent Bruce at a Wayne Corporation meeting.

Jason Todd was driving his motorcycle through the corridors, eventually smashing one of them, and now only the other one remains in the hallway..

At least that's what Alfred remembered.Now, it's a container for Aesop's laundry.

"As you can see, I'm washing clothes." Aesop didn't look up again, he lowered his head and said.

"Let me do this kind of dirty work, Master Aesop, you should rest early." Alfred leaned the knife against the wall.

He walked beside Aesop and picked up the clothes in the porcelain basin. He felt that he had to save this poor, supposedly proud, multicolored porcelain basin for viewing only.

"Master, why don't you try putting them in the washing machine, it will wash faster and cleaner." Alfred picked up the basin and poured the clothes into one of the washing machines. He didn't think of Aesop's hands Where the hell did the brush come from, he didn't remember having one at Wayne Manor.

There are machines for cleaning shoes in the manor.

"I didn't use them, in my childhood, I used the most laundry method except hand washing - maybe five or six times?

It's a dollar to have your clothes cleaned by the neighbor's old lady, who will always have something to spend besides living off our handouts.

For example, buying her favorite low-quality cigarettes, you can buy a large roll for about 5 cents. "

"Later, I was going to study, and it became very difficult for me and Peggy's money to just support us, when I sent the clothes to the old lady for the last time.

Peggy told the old lady about this, she tore our clothes in the laundry process and accidentally scratched her finger in anger, so as to win our sympathy and took another five dollars for treatment from us . "

"Oh, she didn't take the five yuan to buy wound medicine, but traded it for more cigarettes, and even had money left over to eat a bread covered with jam.

What she didn't know was that the five dollars she took away kept Paige and me hungry for two full days. "

"But I don't blame her. After all, it didn't take long for her to develop a lung infection due to long-term smoking of low-quality cigarettes, and her children didn't plan to pay for her to see a doctor.

They even had a dispute with her. Two days later, her body was found sunk in the water tank, swollen and bruised. "Aesop narrowed his eyes and recalled the past.

"The police took money from the old lady's children, opened their eyes and talked nonsense, turned a blind eye to the wounds on the old lady's body, and casually said, 'The death and injury were identified as accidental fall and drowning.' These guys easily escaped legal sanctions .”

Gotham never lacks such people.The rich are vile and scheming, but why not the poor?There is no difference in their essence. In other words, the land of Gotham is the source of evil.

As long as it is its children, they will grow up like that in the end.Even Aesop, ha, did that old lady really die like he described?

The author has something to say:

These are couples, one broke the porcelain basin in the living room, and the other washed clothes in the porcelain basin.

Wow~ The feeling is very in place. (funny)

Unfortunately, there is only one 'Mandarin Duck' left.
