Win Wayne

A parallel world belonging to Wendy.

The superheroes have suspended their search for Wendy.

Too much time has passed. One month after Wendy disappeared, most Chaoying subconsciously believed that she had been killed. They spontaneously insisted on searching for her, just hoping to get an explanation.

There are also some superheroes who join in because their friends always believe that Wendy is still alive, and never stop searching for her.

After all, no one has found Wendy's body or evidence of her death, even if she is already dead - there will always be a miracle, isn't it?

"She's not dead." Tony tapped his knuckles on the table in dissatisfaction, "What nonsense are you talking about? Wendy won't die, that girl is smart, don't say such unlucky things."

"I know she's like your daughter in your heart, Tony, but it's a possibility," Steve said, "and I don't want to believe that she just died in such a mysterious way, she was so young. …but it’s been almost a year and it’s time to consider another possibility.”

Compared to Tony, Steve seemed much calmer and calmer.

It's not that he doesn't feel sad for the fact that Wendy may have died, but compared to Wendy's mentor, he really hasn't gotten along with that girl much.They hardly had any conversations, Steve's only impression of Wendy was his slender back sitting on the edge of the window sill when he came to see Tony on business.

"There is no other possibility. She just ran away and hid herself." Tony said disdainfully, "Haven't you read her profile? Wendy is a professional runaway, but every time she ran away from home in the past, Bruce Found, this time she must have used some special method to cover up her whereabouts..."

"Not even saying hello to you, leaving a hint?"

Tony was silent for a rare moment.

"She never greeted me when she made up her mind to do something." He said, "Occasionally, I feel that the Wendy I know is actually two people, one with a lot of thoughts and one with no scruples. Most of the time she thinks too much about it." Too much, too much hesitation, but very rarely, she will act extraordinarily cold and crazy."

"Tony."

"I know what you want to say, but that's not an illusion." Tony waved his hand impatiently, "We've tried everything we can think of and still can't find her, which only proves that she must have found some kind of Hidden method. Not to mention..."

"Tony!" Steve quickly realized that Tony was hiding something, "not to mention what?"

"Dr. Strange refused to answer me about Wendy's location, and warned me not to go too deep. 'Mortals should not look directly at the truth', these are his exact words—I can be sure that Wendy is not dead." Tony said with a sullen face. , "I'm really angry with her actions, but to be honest, it's hard for me not to be proud of her abilities..."

Steve: "..."

He raised his voice in anger: "You didn't say anything about such an important thing?"

"She doesn't want people to know where she is, especially Bruce's group." Tony shook his legs carelessly, "I don't want to make her angry, she is a little girl who holds grudges."

Steve and Tony couldn't make sense.

He stormed off, and Tony waited until he was out of the building before slowly turning on the computer, staring at the name Pep had sent him, lost in thought.

this name...

It seems strange that your daughter's name is Morgan?

Gotham.

Bruce returned to the main house after his meeting with Zatanna, Alfred brought him afternoon tea, and he seemed uninterested.

"There is a charitable donation tonight that requires you to show up, sir." Alfred advised him, "Eat a little to replenish your strength."

"I will," Bruce said.

"Have you found Miss Wendy yet?"

"No, Aff, no." Having said that, Bruce smiled, "I went to meet someone who I thought might be helpful this afternoon, and I got some reliable news."

"What news, sir?"

"Wendy is safe now. She is also in good condition, at peace and stable." Bruce whispered, "What is certain is that she has not suffered any harm. Let Dick and Jason come over tonight, I have something to do To announce together."

A look of joy appeared on Alfred's face: "Great, I'll contact them right away, sir. Are you still going to the charity event tonight?"

"That shouldn't take too long," Bruce said.

Dick and Jason rushed over as soon as they received the message from the old butler. When they arrived at the Batcave, Bruce hadn't come back. Tim and Damian were already waiting for them in the Batcave.

Tim was the first to say, "You also received the message?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Jason didn't have a good face, "Where's Bruce?"

"He has an event tonight, let's wait," Dick said, "Remember to pay attention to the news next time."

"Whoever likes to watch news related to him, it's either gossip or a messy party." Jason chose a seat with a smirk on his face.

"Damian." Dick didn't care about Jason anymore, he smiled and asked his younger brother, "How are you doing these days?"

"What else can I do, isn't it just being educated by Bruce?" Jason snorted coldly.

Damian gave Jason a sideways look, and instead of arguing with him, he answered Dick's question: "Father has banned my night watch and missions, and I'm doing other things with Joe."

"Little Joe? I remember you got along very well with him. It seems that you have finally made good friends." Dick was relieved.

Tim flipped through and checked the files, not joining in on the conversation with anyone.

The four didn't have to wait too long, and Bruce made an early exit from the charity event.As soon as he entered the Batcave, he was spotted by everyone, and they surrounded him. Jason was the first to ask, "What clue did you find?"

"I met with Zatanna. She used magic to investigate Wendy's situation. Wendy is still alive and safe." Bruce said.

Dick cheered: "I knew it!"

"What else? Where is she now?" Jason asked impatiently.

"Zatana was injured while locating Wendy." Bruce's face was not very good-looking, "It was a serious injury. A certain force blocked her attempt to find Wendy. She warned me not to continue, and said 'Mortals should not look directly at the truth'."

The scene was silent.

"'Mortal people should not look directly at the truth'. What do you mean?" Dick frowned. "'Mortal people'?"

"I don't know, she refused to say more, but repeatedly warned me not to continue looking for Wendy, because the power to help her belongs to an extremely powerful existence." Bruce said in a deep voice, "She said that those things did not exist in In this world, she only learned about the darkness from some ancient books. There has been no trace of 'they' in this world for thousands of years... She said that Wendy would pay the price for using the power of 'them'. "

These words seemed to pour a basin of ice water on everyone, and the joy that they had just learned that Wendy was still alive dissipated immediately.

"From now on, you all stop pursuing." Bruce said, "I will take care of the next thing."

Dick was the first to object: "No! Bruce, you can't do this, Wendy is also our sister, and you're not the only one worrying about her!"

Jason snorted even more: "You think you can stop us by saying that?"

Even Damian, who hadn't said much all this time, rolled his eyes: "Tsk tsk, it seems like it's useful for you to say that."

"This is for your safety."

"From the first day we became Robins," Jason sneered, "the word 'safety' has been insulated from us."

"And only by gathering everyone's efforts can we find the direction faster, Bruce, we can also help." Dick's words were much gentler, "If it is very dangerous to track down, then this danger should also be faced by us together. "

"..."

Dick and Jason stared at him closely.

Bruce looked at Tim, "What do you think, Tim?"

"...We should face the danger together." Tim was very calm from the beginning to the end, "We couldn't find Wendy together before, and the next job will be more difficult, and it will be more difficult to rely on one person's strength." Impossible."

"..."

Bruce didn't continue to insist: "Okay, let's act together. But you can't act without authorization, and you must notify me if you find anything."

They finally reached a consensus. When the meeting ended, Bruce stopped Tim who was walking at the end: "You stay, Tim, I have something to say."

Tim's back paused.

He turned around.

"You know Wendy made a decision." Bruce said in an affirmative tone, "I excluded you from the beginning as a candidate to help her, and gave priority to investigating Tony, who is one of the most likely to do so. One, but recently I realized that you were just helping her all the time, including when she ran away from home in the past, and you were also covering up for her."

"...yes. I'm sorry," Tim said, "I thought she was the same this time, just normal and wanted to go away for a while."

"Do you remember what she said to you at the end?"

"She didn't say anything, just like always." Tim hesitated, "must say something different, last time she... thanked me for helping her in the past. But every time she needed me Always be gentler to me, so I didn't... I didn't take it to heart."

"No need to apologize." Bruce said calmly, "You only agreed to her request when you desperately wanted to get closer to her after her cold treatment. I know her style, and she is very good at manipulating people."

"...One more thing," Tim said suddenly, "she said something I didn't understand when she was chatting with me."

"What?"

"She said," Tim recited the sentence clearly, verbatim, "'It's no use growing wings if you can't fly'."

Bruce's jaw clenched sharply.

"I see," he said slowly. "You can leave now, Tim."

Tim didn't leave: "You know what that means. What the hell did she mean, Bruce?"

"You should go." Bruce refused to answer the question.

Tim didn't insist, he was always the one who followed Bruce's orders the most.He still has doubts and puzzles in his mind, but once again, he backs down from Bruce.

Finally, everyone left.

Bruce stands alone in the Batcave.

"Wen." He pronounced the name slowly, it was just a name, but he seemed to have returned to the day Wendy was kidnapped by the clown.

She laughed and raised her hand to stroke his chin and asked him, "Why can't you see me?"

Years later, that smiling face still made him ache.
