This is... scared to cry? !

Timothy watched Helena's back carefully, hoping to deduce her state of mind and emotions at this moment through any tiny movements.

He suddenly realized that it was difficult for him to put himself in Helena's place and imagine Helena's feelings—seeing his father and himself in the baby state with his own eyes, the way of getting along with him was almost completely opposite to when he was a teenager, how should he feel?

Like when he grows up and sees his parents showing pictures of him as a baby?Tell him how his parents took care of him and loved him when he was young...

He will feel warm and moved, he will feel embarrassed, but at the same time, there will be a little strangeness.

In fact, these memories belong more to adults, and are the source and strength of adults' love.

However, Helena's situation is different from his. If he guessed correctly, the picture in front of him is "real time" in the Batcave in linear time... This picture is more vivid and vivid, almost within reach.

Moreover, the "unique" father-daughter relationship between Helena and Bruce is different from the relationship between him and his biological parents...

Will Helena be as moved as he is?

Or is it more unfamiliar?

Will she be jealous?

The only thing Timothy can be sure of is that the girl's feelings must be very complicated at the moment.

The young man was in the period of changing his voice, and his slightly hoarse voice echoed in the silent space, "Bruce loves you, Helena, you saw it." Timothy pursed his lips, thinking about being sincere and never turning Helen away. Na scar's expression, of course, his explanation must be logical, "Getting along with babies is naturally different from teenagers, even ourselves. That child is you, Helena..."

"But I don't think it's me." The girl interrupted him, still refusing to turn her head to face him, staring stubbornly at the picture in another time and space, "She can get approval just by smiling."

"Tim...in your memory, does he see me that way?"

At first glance, the girl's tone was without any emotion, as if she was just asking the most objective question—like asking today's date and weather.

Timothy wants to say that there are definitely similar eyes - when Bruce put aside urgent league affairs or handed over to Timothy and Dick to take care of, and then plunged into the Batcave with his own brain, collecting and checking all relevant information over and over again. Helena's information, especially the clues before the age of 10... Timothy can see the remorse and distress of being a father suppressed in Bruce's tall figure.

That look was heartbreaking.

Timothy also knows that Bruce has been blaming himself for not trying to keep Helena's mother, letting an innocent girl be affected by the irresponsible and seemingly joking emotional entanglements of his parents; he even blamed himself for fighting Bain so many times , but never paid more attention to investigating the composition of his subordinates.

Bruce even contacted Mr. Stark to develop a program to simulate how many times there were opportunities to know your existence and find you in that ten years.

Bruce Wayne, your father, aside from his suspiciousness and sternness, his resourcefulness and stubbornness, is a... downright pragmatic.

So much focus on action that we ignore the power of words and words.

He integrated love into strict requirements and boring education, ignoring simple expressions.

—and neglected physical contact, he might just need to hug that rebellious 10-year-old girl more.

"I think this five-dimensional tool should be able to build any space I want," Helena continued without waiting for Timothy's answer, "but I found that I couldn't—no matter how I tried, Can only create a Batcave."

Her back, which had been static for a long time, finally moved slightly, but she just turned her head slightly to look around the environment, "Only here, when I was training, I could see the appreciation in his eyes... although he never boasted pass me."

"But in fact, I can also see that he is wary of me and worried... Bane has trained me so well that it is difficult for him to control me. Sometimes, when I practice with Damian, I can see that if Damian Mian knocks me out, he'll look relieved..."

"He's worried about you," Timothy said hoarsely.

"You have said similar things to me many times. I have seen all the past and future in this space, and you will only use this sentence to perfuse me."

Yes, it wasn't just Bruce who was at fault for Helena's upbringing.

In a blur, Timothy, who was 15 years old, recalled the "future". When Helena was 10 years old, Timothy was already 26 years old, obsessed with the so-called affairs of the president of Wayne Group and the identity of Red Robin after starting his own business.

Maintained the law and order of Gotham, but forgot to maintain a younger sister's childhood.

Even Dick, who knows how to get along with the juniors best, took root in Bludhaven and started a family with Xinghuo.

Timothy didn't blame him for lack of energy.

Bruce himself was in his 40s at the time, and he had also become more silent and stubborn after years of fighting-this is probably a common problem of middle-aged people.

Damian?what does he know...

He was 23 years old when Helena appeared, and he officially succeeded his father as the Dark Knight of Gotham Night. It was his physical and psychological peak age, and he was at the peak of his spirit, living in his own world.

A 10-year-old girl, half-sister, is beyond the comprehension of a PhD in economics and a military theorist.

Everyone is working hard in their own corner of the world, gaining the satisfaction of a sense of accomplishment and responsibility, and no one has extra energy left for a lonely little girl.

It is even acquiesced that a girl will be easier to raise than the "son of the devil" Damian himself. Girls are "defaulted" as "well-behaved", which is a stereotype in terms of gender.

Some mistakes, however, cannot be undone.

At this moment, Timothy, who was also perceiving at the age of 15, suddenly understood Helena more clearly-and this was what he lacked back then.

He also just took Helena's problem as a simple "adolescence", as if a concept included all the complexities, ignorance and incomprehension.

Like Timothy's own 15-year-old, fatherhood, Robinhood, Gotham, Stephanie... are tearing him apart.He also wanted to give up his identity as Robin in order to find his "self".

There are also elders

And he was tired of the title.

Ask yourself, 15-year-old Timothy himself craves Bruce’s approval and approval—no less than Helena and Damian.

(Perhaps that's Helena's purpose in "syncing" him to 15 as well?)

These compliments, recognition and acceptance, which are not worth mentioning in the eyes of adults, seem to be trivial matters.

The elders will also comfort us with such logic, saying that it's okay, what's the big deal?

"Don't be so sensitive," they'd say.

As if being "sensitive" was another mistake we made.

But whether it is sensitive or not is out of our control.

We are also overwhelmed by the overwhelming thoughts and feelings of young people.

——When we are adults and strong enough, when we look back, we will also treat these teenagers' thoughts as small things.

However, for us teenagers, these praises and approvals, a nod, a hug, a smile, they are the whole world.

Because a baby's PP is a little red, parents will search through parenting books and check the Internet to understand every detail of nursing.

But don't ask why a girl is so preoccupied.

Why does a simple sentence of language care seem more difficult?

Timothy, 15, realized he wasn't qualified to comfort Helena—at least not in the untrue words he'd used.

"I'm jealous of myself," she said softly. "I'm jealous of that baby."

Under different fates, the same person on different timelines, should they be counted as "two people"?

Timothy was also confused.

Is he the same person as the unconscious Timothy Drake Wayne "out there"?

If Jason was around, he'd say it's a fucking philosophical question...

***************************************

Another thing Timothy didn't know was the ratio between the five-dimensional space and the linear timeline.

Of course Tony and Doctor Strange don't know this either...

For Timothy, the time to "chat" with Helena seemed to be less than half an hour.However, outside the wormhole, in the encrypted training room of Stark Tower, there were too many paper coffee cups at Tony's feet to count with one hand.

He kicked the nearest cup lightly and watched it roll beside the others.

"It's been 24 hours..."

Doctor Strange's cloak seemed to be drowsy, but Stephen's spirit still looked good. He stared at the wormhole and nodded, "I know."

"Bat-kid failed?"

"We just discussed this topic 3 hours ago..." Stephen said helplessly, "I don't know..."

Tony wanted to roll his eyes, but he was so tired that he hadn't slept for 24 hours, and his eyes had lost the function of rolling them.

He stood up suddenly, and the armor mask fell, "It doesn't matter, I'm going!"

"Hmm..." Doctor Strange raised his eyebrows, shook his head, and didn't support it, "We haven't received any signal."

"What is the Helena of this world doing?" He suddenly changed the subject, "Considering that Tim on our timeline has been affected-you said that the monitoring shows that his headache seems to be getting worse? Maybe we can learn from the baby Helena proceeds to..."

"And you will not be suspicious at all when you go to Mr. Wayne's house."

Tony narrowed his eyes, thinking that the magician was just trying to delay time, and didn't want him to go directly to take risks...

"Why don't you just look at it with your shiny aperture?"

Peeping at a baby at play or feeding and sleeping requires me, Tony Stark, to come to the door?

Not to mention... Tony and this wormhole have stared at each other for 24 hours, and now it's really like seeing what the little boy is doing. Batman's daughter is getting cuter and cuter. Tony thinks it's his quasi-"godfather" credit.

—Of course Bruce would have chosen him, and even if he hadn't spoken, who else would Tony Stark have chosen?

Instigated by Tony's star-eyed eyes, Doctor Strange, who had been tricked by himself, had to throw out a "circle" (Tony's language)-thinking that his lower limit was really getting lower and lower, and now he started to use magic to monitor a baby.

In the circle of light, the baby's room in Wayne's house was displayed. The electric cradle was swinging, holding a pink and tender baby who was smiling happily.

Tony was relieved to see that the baby finally didn't wear the clothes of the day of the week, but a small blue and yellow floral lantern skirt, which is very cute and idyllic!

Her two hands and two feet are tied with a small rope to a colorful helium balloon flying in the air.The baby's little hands and feet are dancing, watching the balloons flying above her head with her movements, giggling and playing enthusiastically.

Wow, what a new way to tease babies! ! !

The father-to-be said that he has learned!

Tony sat back on the stool and looked at Xiaoquanquan with interest, with a loving "uncle smile" on his face.

oh?who is thisZatanna?Tony remembered that she and Bruce seemed to have known each other since childhood.

I saw a beautiful black-haired beauty greeting Bruce cordially in the room, and then, as a gift for the baby, put down a toy elephant.

This toy is electric, not only can it make sound, but the two big ears of the little elephant can also flicker and cover the face.

It's like being shy!Super cute!

At this moment, the baby who was supported by Ah Fu and sat on the climbing mat was looking at everything around him curiously.

As soon as she looked up, she saw the baby elephant placed in front of her eyes.

The smile everyone was expecting did not appear...

I saw the electric elephant fluttering its ears and making a clear (electric) laugh.

Then, the baby seemed to froze, and his movements slowed down.

He also turned to look at the adults around him.

Then——with a twist of her small mouth, her small face suddenly wrinkled.

"Wow-wow-"

Crying until her fists were shaking.

This is... scared to cry? !

By an electric toy?

Bruce: "..."

Zatanna: "..." I'm a little sorry.

Tony: "..."

At this time, inside and outside the circle of Wayne Mansion and Doctor Strange, everyone has different thoughts...

Bruce—forget it, it’s okay for a girl to be timid.

Tony - how could this be Terminator stuff?

Damian - oh, kind of embarrassing.Forget it, just protect her more in the future, write down this task in a small notebook, it's tiring to think about it.

Jason—there must be something wrong with the design of this toy.

Little Tim—Oye, found the point of attacking competitors, XX's toys will scare the baby!

The author has something to say:

*There is such an electric baby elephant, what kind of shy baby elephant is it?Which one I forgot _(:з」∠)_
