I haven't been a big brother for many years

"Please be strong.

You are young, but destined for great things.

Seize your opportunities, use them to give back to a city that has treated us well, and to change the lives of millions of people. "

The thin piece of paper trembled in Bruce Wayne's hands.It was a yellowed scrap of paper among some books in the basement, but he recognized the scrawling. It was from Thomas Wayne.

"What I regret most is,

even though i know

You'll grow into a hero,

But couldn't witness it with his own eyes.

Finally, my son, I ask you never to let this city run its course. "

"Master?" Alfred's voice came from the ground, Bruce subconsciously put away the paper in his hand, and wiped the corners of his eyes casually: "Here we come."

A Fu handed a light backpack to Bruce Wayne, pretending not to see the corners of his red eyes, and said: "Master, you must come back as soon as possible. It is best to catch up before dark, so that you can still catch up dinner."

"I know." Bruce raised a smile: "Wait for me, Fu."

……

"Why are there so many policemen here?"

Ryan frowned, and put on the huge hood behind the leather jacket to cover most of his face.

Batman touched his hair through the hat to calm his emotions. They have been waiting here for a long time: "Be patient."

I just don't know why the police appeared on this deep mountain near Wayne Manor. This is not the only way from the circus to Wayne Manor.

"Is it cold?" Batman's fingertips lightly tapped Ryan's already red nose. Compared with the urban area, the temperature difference on the mountain is still huge.

The amount of clothes Ryan was wearing was not enough to last the night here, unless they couldn't get enough of lighting a fire to get the attention of the police.

"It's okay." Ryan turned his head sideways, and awkwardly saved his face from the bat's hands: "The police shouldn't have found me, have they? Are they targeting Bruce?"

"Not that fast." Batman shook his head, denying his guess, but it was probably too soon.

He paused his movements, but still reached out to take off the cloak.Ryan stopped his movement, buried himself directly in Bruce's arms, and wrapped his arms around his waist.

"...How did you train your pectoral muscles?" Ryan asked without raising his head, his face buried in his chest.

He has wondered about this question for a long time.

Although bat's figure was partially covered by armor, it was obviously much better than some of the trainers in the gym.

Bruce froze as he stroked his hair and joked, "Do you want it? Then start by doing a thousand push-ups a day."

"How is it possible? Am I going to go from morning to night?" Ryan raised his head and angrily accused him of deceiving himself.

"I'm telling the truth." Bat's voice sounded serious, but Ryan chose not to believe it—just kidding, he couldn't do two hundred push-ups a day.

at this time.

Suddenly, the rustling of grass and trees sounded from above their heads.

"Hush." ​​Bruce raised a finger and pressed it against Ryan's lips. The blue glasses light on Batman's helmet lit up, and he was scanning with sonar.

"Bat?" Ryan took off his hand, his face full of disbelief: "It's Bruce!"

Bruce turned off the gizmo on his helmet, his brow furrowed, his eyes fixed.He wondered how on earth Ryan could see so far.Could it be telepathy?

He quickly threw out the absurd thoughts in his mind: How could there be such a thing, besides, he and Ryan are not twins.

Maybe it just feels familiar.

Ryan ignored his thoughtfulness and said that he was hiding in the bushes. He didn't know whether he should go out or not, so he pulled the brim of his hat involuntarily.

That was indeed Bruce Wayne.

Batman confirms that's a slightly younger version of the face he sees in the mirror every day.

He looked like he had broken his ankle, and he looked like he wanted to bandage himself up and fix it.However, he was obviously very unfamiliar with this aspect, and he retracted in pain before his hand touched the injured ankle.

Ryan sighed, pulled the brim of his hat again, and walked out of the woods.

Batman also sighed, watching his young self "strike up a conversation" endlessly, but his face was obviously guarded.

At that time, he was still too naive and too weak.

He watched Ryan pick himself up and start climbing.

He quietly followed behind the two, looking at the figures of the two teenagers, the outlines seemed to gradually become blurred, and finally merged into one.

I don't know how long it took.

Little by little snow was falling in the sky, and Batman raised his head in surprise. The last snow of this year seemed to be later than usual.

When the snow fell to the ground, it turned into water, which wetted the soil on the ground and made walking more difficult.He looked at the footprints on the ground in front of him that were smaller than his size, but felt his heart warm up a little bit.

"Lane."

He said the name in his mind.

Then he took great strides to catch up with the two of them, "I" should have fallen asleep, maybe it's time for someone else to hold him.

……

"..." Ryan was not surprised to see the loyal old butler of the Wayne family on the top of the mountain, and subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away.

But Alfred Pennyworth took his young master again, and quickly grabbed his clothes when he put him on the ground: "Master Lane."

Ryan touched the brim of his hat dully, and found that they were still firmly covering his head: How did Ah Fu find out.

"I can't guess that Master Bruce has any other boyfriends who are of the same height as him...male friends. I am very grateful that you saved Master Bruce." Alfred seemed to have guessed what he wanted to ask.

He shook his head. Boys of this age are getting more and more worry-free.

Batman silently gave his thumbs up for his good Alfred's slip of the tongue: well said, boyfriend.

"What's more, Detective Gordon just found me and told me about you." Ah Fu's eyes flashed with complexity.

"I don't know what happened to you. But I hope you know that the gate of Wayne Manor is always open for you."

He didn't believe that such an innocent child would become a so-called murderer, so he begged James Gordon to find out about this matter, and asked him to withdraw the wanted first, and he was willing to vouch for Ryan Black's personality.

And the facts also proved that his choice was not wrong, otherwise his young master might have frozen to death under the cliff.

"Would you like to live with us in Wayne Manor?" Afu sincerely invited, the tragedy should not happen to these two children.

Ryan took off his hat, revealing his extremely special bright red eyes and metallic hair. He looked complicated, but subconsciously glanced at Bat.

He has almost developed a habit of relying on bat.

Batman shook his head: "Make the choice you want to make." He was afraid that he would not be able to resist letting Ryan go back to Wayne Manor, but it was too dangerous there.

The young "self" cannot protect him.

Ryan lowered his eyes: "Sorry, Alfred."

Such an answer was obviously beyond Alfred's expectations. His surprised eyes swept over Ryan's red nose and ears, his thin lips and thin clothes that were slightly purple, and stopped at He couldn't restrain his trembling body: "I don't understand, Master Ryan."

"Thank you for your kindness. But there is a group in Gotham City, and I suspect they planned to kill Bruce and...'s parents. As you can see, I am looking for those people, but their minions are almost all over Gotham. Tan, or rather, the entire Gotham is under the surveillance of this organization."

"I can't go back to Wayne Manor." His eyes shifted to Bruce Wayne, who was lying in a sleeping bag and had passed out: "They will kill him."

Because of him, it has been exposed.

And the mission of that mysterious organization is obviously to kill him, otherwise it wouldn't have resorted to so many tricks to get him into prison.

He's going to kill Bruce.

Alfred moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it in the end. He really liked this child, and he felt pity and sympathy for what happened to him.

But that doesn't mean he put his young master in danger.

"Thank you again for your kindness." Ryan nodded slightly at him: "Almost forgot this."

He pulled a bottle of water out of his coat, and put the bottle of water, which still had his body temperature, on the ground.He put his hat back on and turned to leave.

The sunlight formed by a little bit of golden strings gradually dyed the clouds into magnificent fish scales. From the top of the mountain, you can see some high-rise buildings in downtown Gotham, and the lights look much dimmer in the morning sun.

Today's morning sun seems extraordinarily bright.

Perhaps it was washed by snow water.

"Afu...?" Bruce Wayne rubbed his eyes and opened those cobalt blue eyes as if awakened by the rays of hope.

……

"bat..."

"I feel a little lonely..."

"For my friends, I have to stay away from them."

"It's as if they are the killers that I can't avoid, and I have to run away from them."

"But..." Ryan turned his head, the corners of his lips curved slightly.

"Fortunately, only I can see you."

"Fortunately, I still have you."

His cheeks were dyed a light peach pink by the rising sun, as if he had applied a layer of blush.His slender eyelashes glowed golden yellow in the sunlight, and even his crimson eyes softened.

Under the sun, the fine hairs on his face were clearly visible, with a little light shining.

His face has always been the most proud creation of the Creator.

Batman put his palm on Ryan's head: "What did you say to Bruce Wayne?"

"Call out when it hurts?" Ryan tilted his head suspiciously.

Batman shook his head.

"I take you back?"

Batman continued to shake his head.

"I will always be by your side?"

"Yes."

Batman's tight thin lips finally loosened:

"By your side, always."
