I thought I didn't hear clearly and repeated: "Whose funeral?"

whose funeral?

Bruce repeated: "Sorry, it's Stephanie Brown's funeral."

The funeral of Stephanie Brown....

It was hard for me to control my expression, I wanted to come back and apologize to her—I always apologize first in love, for leaving me without saying goodbye, for concealing my identity, for my various evasions, she has always been a good girl.

When I left the living room in a daze and went back to my room, I found Connor who was the lord of the world in the room.

"Brown's dead." Yeah, with his super hearing he could have heard it long ago.

"But I want to know how she died," I sat back at my desk, turned on my computer, my fingers stiffened for a while, and then started to search for the news, "I need to know this, maybe she..."

Xiaohong became weak.

Connor thought, in his world, the Red Robin who rebelled with the gray bat has long been used to the death of the people close to him.

He looked at Xiaohong, who was crying with her eyes open, and was looking at the news and obituaries like crazy, and he heard Xiaohong say: "So when I left, she became Robin... Why is she so stupid..."

Barbara and I have the strongest integration of computer information in my family. Maybe I was not as good as her before, but now that I have traveled to several other worlds and retrieved a memory, I can say that I am even better in this aspect. One floor, the understanding of Stephanie and Bruce and the keen sense of the Gotham gangsters made me discover the cause and ending of this war game.

"What a silly girl."

----------------

A rare sunny day in Gotham.

As I stand in the cemetery, I feel like it's all too often for me.

I stood alone under the camphor tree on the hillside in the distance, looking at the new grave where the funeral was being held.

"Father of Heaven, we return the body of Stephanie Brown to the earth, rest in peace, your soul will live on..."

I heard faint cries from the mourners there.

I was alone in a black suit—heh, it was the same suit I wore at my father’s funeral, standing in the shadow of a big tree, listening to the weeping from the wind.

The blond girl in my head still seems to be smiling at me, and I remember all the embarrassments and joys we had together when we met, the silent warmth that flowed between us when I stroked her belly, and even when we quarreled we couldn't bear it. The little details that couldn't help but care about the other party surged up at this moment.

"You're so far away from everyone else, Tim." Just as I was still listening to the sound of the wind, Bruce came up to me.

"She used to be your girlfriend..."

"Maybe I've been to too many funerals lately, Bruce," which exhausted me, "I can't cry here, and it may be a long time before she gets her share of tears from her heartless boyfriend— I always let her down."

Bruce put his hand on my shoulder: "I think she will understand, you have to hold on."

I knocked off Bruce's hand: "She shouldn't understand this, and I have no right to ask for her understanding."

I missed an appointment with Stephanie, I didn't come when she needed my encouragement, I didn't protect her at the end, just like I didn't catch up with Janet, and I didn't catch up with Jack's death.

I'm always one step behind.

Bruce puts his head down, a little guilty that he chose Stephanie as Robin and then fired her, but he can go on: "You're right, it's my fault. But Tim , I think there is something you need to..."

"Of course I'll be back from Bludhaven to be my Robin, my resolve is as strong as ever, and I'm in control of my emotions - my father, my mother, and Stephanie, their deaths It’s all a heavy price paid in the war, but it’s even more proof that I should keep going.”

In this way their sacrifice will not be let down by me.

"Bruce, you need Robin, so I'll always be Robin."

I looked at the white-dyed hair on the sideburns of my father-in-law, and the sharp words in my mouth couldn't continue. I knew how soft Bruce's heart was, and how much he liked to shoulder the responsibility alone, isn't it?

The carefree smile of the young Bruce was still in front of me, but the brows of the tall Bruce were full of worries.

I finally stopped wanting to leave and hugged Bruce.

Such a hug made Bruce feel a little overwhelmed, and he could understand Tim's disappointment and resentment at his neglect - he was used to it.

"Bruce," I hugged him, as if I was hugging the other Bruce in the gray uniform who was away from me, or hugging the little Bruce who called my brother, I knew the man in front of me, but it was impossible Really understood him, "Dad, I'm going to digest this."

After Bruce heard the father, he reached out and hugged the child tightly in his arms.

Tim's head was buried in the white shirt on his chest, and like he said, he wasn't crying.

----------------

The setting sun shrouded the cemetery, and the funeral had long since ended, leaving only the fresh soil in front of the tombstone and the bouquet of flowers that were completely different from the one next to it.

I walked up with the roses I had prepared long ago, and the flowers preserved with water mist in the shade are still delicate, and they are almost the same as the bouquet I presented to Janet more than 4 years ago.

There was no one else in the cemetery.

I put the flowers on the tombstone casually, and whispered to Stephanie: "In the past few days, I will be caught by Bruce and inspected at the watchtower-you don't know what I have experienced in the past two months, you should be very happy Like to hear this kind of story, you used to pester to listen to Robin and Batman's night watch record ... this new story you must like."

I muttered something incomprehensible, but my eyes kept staring at the red rose.

"Xiao Hong," kon quietly descended from the sky, "are you alright?"

Tall Connor, no, I will call him kon for the time being, kon came to me and looked at the tombstone with me.

"I'm fine...let me lean on you."

The two of us continued to stand in front of the tombstone in this cemetery that was gradually being shrouded in darkness.

Kon looked up, he heard the wind.

A boy wearing a leather jacket with a blue and red uniform descended from the sky.

"Xiao Luo, I heard that you are back..."

Connor with a mohawk saw someone who looked exactly like Clark, but didn't Kang leave?

"Xiao Luo?"

Kon didn't care about the guy in the back who seemed to him still a boy, he hugged Xiaohong's shoulders, and suddenly asked: "The heart doesn't beat when a person is dead, right?"

I'm not in the mood to say hello to Connor now, and when I reunited with him in the original world, I answered kon blankly: "Yes..."

Someone with super hearing paused for a moment, and Connor tried to focus behind him.

"Someone is breathing in the coffin!"

"There is a heartbeat in the coffin!"

Two people said this conclusion at the same time.

My heart was pounding, and I thought of Jason, who later told me he'd gotten himself out of the coffin—maybe Stephanie wasn't dead, either?Maybe... Maybe I was really favored?

I threw myself in front of the grave, trying to dig the soil with my hands, not paying attention to the neat suit I was wearing.

Connor also came up to help, but his movements were much faster than Ronaldinho.

Seeing Kon standing on the side, Connor greeted directly with a big grin: "Why didn't you tell me when you came back, and ran directly to Ronaldinho... I thought you had returned to your own world. "

Kon glanced at the young Connor, but did not reply to his words.

The coffin was still new, and with shaking hands I tried to lift the nails, but failed.

Kon went straight up and stretched out his hand.

When the coffin lid was pushed down, I jumped straight into the coffin.

The girl lying inside was no different from when I left. She was wearing a beautiful black dress, her face was still covered with makeup, and she was holding a bouquet of roses that hadn't faded in her arms.

I put my hand on her wrist.

I don't know how long it took before I confirmed that the shallow pulse that almost didn't exist really existed.

I didn't shed a single tear today, but I suddenly felt a little hot in my eye sockets.

----------------

"I'm telling you that annoying...I mean that kind of annoying Jason has also come back," Connor said with his toes slightly off the ground. The next day he saw Xiao Luo again, and he complained to Robin, "Leave Stephanie to Cassandra, I think the girls will take care of themselves, the problem is that Jason I told you... ...I can't control him at all, after he came with me, he ran away by himself..."

I've only just arrived in the safehouse and started undressing to change into pajamas and get a good night's sleep, and hearing Connor's rambling, I feel the veins in my temples twitching again.

"You said... Jason from Arkham is here too?"

Jason, who was rescued by me from Arkham, claimed to have been a knight. How could he come to our world again?Didn't Gu Yi say that a firm will in his heart is enough to lead him back to his own world?

"Yeah, but Kang is here too, we have to find time to go to Titan Tower to deal with these messy people who came back after you, and send them all back to where they should go."

Kon, who had been silently helping Xiaohong to deal with her girlfriend's resurrection and arrangement, raised his head for the first time to seriously look at the new Connor who appeared beside Xiaohong.

"Boy," Kon reached out and grabbed Connor's neck with his muzzle for a moment. His face that resembled Clark didn't have the warmth of Clark in the sun at the moment, "I think you don't want to know the consequences of what you do."

Connor was firmly pinched against the wall by Kon's hands, the Kryptonian didn't have to breathe, but the feeling of being restrained in his throat was still uncomfortable: "Kon, what are you going crazy about?"

The author has something to say:

Although Tim has been in the world of Flashpoint for over a year, his time is actually fluid.

In other words, not long after Connor came back (that is, less than 10 minutes after they reunited in the space), Ronaldinho came back, so Connor thought that there might be something wrong—because Arkham’s barrel Also here, Gu Yi is unreliable.

He still thinks that Kon who is with Tim is Kang.

By the way, can you tell which is which?
