Is boyfriend the dark knight today? [Comprehensive British and American]

In an alley hidden in the shadows, there were four people standing in it.

Fathers, mothers, children...and robbers.

The eyes hidden under the black mask watched all this silently, as if invisible waves were churning in the dark blue eyes on the sea.

Judging by the family's attire, they should be tourists from other places who came to Gotham.

Gotham natives don't feel free to go out late at night, especially if they're accompanied by women and children.

The child is held by the mother.He looked young, he should only be four or five years old, and he seemed to be completely stunned by the situation in front of him.Probably because the mother used a lot of strength when she was nervous, the child had a patient expression on his face, and he huddled in the woman's arms and dared not make a sound.

The child's father was standing beside the mother and son, watching the robber nervously.

The wooden warehouse in the robber's hand has not been raised yet, but the deterrent effect of thermal weapons is obviously not small, and the two adults on the opposite side are all in a calm posture.

It looked like they were talking.

Bruce watched it all.

The scene in front of me seemed to overlap with a night many years ago.It's just that the child is bigger, the father is calmer than now, and the mother is calmer.

I don't know what the man said to the robber, but I saw the father step forward suddenly, blocking his wife and children.

Probably surprised by his action, the wooden warehouse was lifted up all of a sudden.

It doesn't make sense.

Bruce sees it all.

At such a short distance, even if there is a man's body covering him, the bullet will penetrate him and hit the mother and child behind him.

He knew because he—had seen it.

Father tensed up.The dark and cold Mu Cangkou brought inexplicable fear to this man from the peaceful city, death seemed to be close at hand.

Two dim lights flashed suddenly in the dark corner of the street corner.

The sound of metal clashing, the splash of blood on the wrist.

"Dang bang"

The wooden warehouse in hand fell on the brick floor of Gotham, making a crisp sound, followed by the sound of the wooden warehouse.

— went off.

Bruce, who jumped out from his feet, closed his eyes suddenly in mid-air.

Landing precisely.

The robber was still holding the scratched wrist.

However, as a Gotham criminal, he was keenly aware of what had happened, and prepared to escape while pressing the wound on his wrist.

It's a pity that even if the reaction is not slow, it is obviously too late to escape now.Before the robber could even take a step, he was grabbed by the clothes behind his back with a huge force.

Why is it so unlucky... The robbers secretly moaned.Thinking of the experience taught by his predecessors, he opened his mouth and wanted to beg for mercy.

——Although begging for mercy is generally useless, who knows if Batman hits harder when he doesn't beg for mercy?

A fist hit him head-on in the face.There was a buzzing sound in the robber's head, and then he was beaten violently, so that he could hardly even make a sound.

I don't know how long it took before the inexplicably violent Batman stopped tonight.

At that time, the poor Mr. Robber had already curled up on the ground, completely devoid of energy to think about escaping.He knew where Batman was going to throw himself, but compared to the fierce god in front of him, how gentle and amiable the police in Gotham were.

The robbers wish they could have a police car in front of them right now.

The family of three who were robbed hadn't left yet.

When Bruce turned around, the two adults stepped back with the child in their arms, looking more frightened than when they were robbed with a wooden barn.

In the alley, there were still four people confronting each other silently.

Batman's eyes moved from the father's face to the mother's face, and then looked at the child in the mother's arms.Probably infected by the nervousness of his parents, the boy flinched slightly when he noticed his gaze.

"Don't be afraid," he said.

The voice processed by the voice changer came out, and tears burst into the boy's eyes.

"..."

Bruce was silent.

The Mr. Bat who came out of nowhere turned his head to glance at the robber who was still curled up on the ground, and then turned back to look at the two adults again.

"Don't go out on a Gotham night again," he warned. "Now, get out of here."

After finishing speaking, he turned around, tied up the robber who was unlucky to hit the muzzle of the gun, and disappeared in place with him.

Mr. Robber held his two front teeth that had been knocked loose, with tears in his eyes.

Although Bruce hit hard, he also intentionally withdrew his hand. Except for the first punch that hit the face, other times the fist just landed on those places that were not fatal but painful, but——

Batman has turned back to the Batman who liked to hit people half a year ago! ! !

The robber only felt that he was pitiful.

Bruce carried the other person all the way, walked to the Batmobile, and threw the sad criminal on it.

The Batmobile locks automatically.

After making sure that the other party had absolutely no chance of escaping, Bruce followed and made sure that the family of three had returned to the place where they were staying. Then he turned back and drove into the car, leaving the other party at the gate of the police station.

Back in the car, a shiny reflection in the back seat caught his eye.

Bruce frowned, and picked up the reflective piece of metal that had fallen on the back seat.

Batman was pretty sure it wasn't in the Batmobile the last time he left it.

It could only have fallen from the robber just now.

A round piece of metal, not sharp, just a badge of identification.

Engraved with Dawn's coat of arms.

……

When Bruce returned to the manor, Alfred had already prepared a supper for him.

Night patrols, especially night patrols in armor, are an extremely exhausting task in themselves.Especially in order to ensure combat effectiveness, Bruce will not eat too much for dinner, so that he will always be hungry when he returns to Wayne Manor late at night.

Bruce wasn't in the mood to enjoy the food today.

The metal sheet in his palm has been warmed, but Bruce still feels a cold and sharp breath exuding from this sheet.

Alfred left a bit of food in his room, and thoughtfully made room for Bruce.

The old butler didn't know why Bruce was in a low mood, but he knew best what the young man he had watched grow up needed most at the moment.

Bruce didn't look back.

He really needs to think about his relationship problems.

It's been less than a day since he recovered his memory, but he needs to receive so much information that Bruce hasn't been able to take the time to think about his relationship with Dawn.

Batman's identity is a problem.

Gotham guarded by Batman is also a problem.

The criminals sent to Arkham by Batman are even more troublesome.

This is already complicated enough.Just thinking about whether Dawn should accompany him to face this responsibility is enough to make Bruce entangled.Of course he knew that this should not be his own decision.But if this question is asked to En, it is absolutely impossible for Dawn to give up this relationship because of Gotham.

Dawn is a proud person, he will not give up love for the sake of external force.

Bruce felt that it shouldn't be so selfish to assign his responsibility to his lover.Of course, he can be Batman alone, and Dawn doesn't need to carry the weight of the city with him.But as long as Bruce is Batman, he can die at any time, in any accident.

Bruce was prepared for this.

Dawn shouldn't take the risk.

This is already a question that is tangled and complicated enough to make the dark knight's most steadfast heart start to waver.

And reality kicked one end of the scale hard.

Bruce spread out his palm, and the light golden family crest reflected deep and shallow shadows in the moonlight, blurring into one piece.

The thoughts in his mind were even more chaotic than this shadow.

The man stood by the window, breathing heavily.

Bruce didn't think about what would happen if he didn't meet this scene today, what if the robber came from another gang.

He knew very well that this robber could never be Dawn's direct subordinate, and Dawn couldn't and didn't need to be responsible for the other party's actions.But that night many years ago is still a dull pain in the heart of the dark knight in Gotham, which cannot be touched and dare not recall.

Feelings are such a willful thing, and the beginning of him and Dawn also began with sensibility.

The man stares out the window with his eyes opening and closing.

……

Dawn is still busy.

Solan is not allowed to intervene in the family business now. Even if Dawn does not lack assistants, he still has to face the pile of folders in person—even if most of the folders are just for appearance, there is only one big folder. Two or three pages, that is already quite a huge workload.

However, although the workload has not decreased, the Herman family has now fallen behind in the business war, and it is only a matter of time before they win by themselves.The man can't help but feel happy when he thinks that he won't have such a heavy workload in the future.

After working hard for so long, Dawn still misses the time when he could take a vacation whenever he wanted.In this case, he should be by his boyfriend's side at this moment, instead of staring at the black and white words in front of him that are getting more and more boring.

Bruce has yet to respond to that previous offer.But Dawn didn't think it was a problem. Before they dated, Bruce also thought about it for a long time.

His boyfriend is the kind of character who has to think carefully before making a decision.When Dawn proposed to confirm the relationship, he just wanted to let this matter leave a shadow in the other party's heart, and he didn't mean to get married in a hurry.

When the bell specially set for Bruce rang in the quiet office, Dawn was still flipping through a handed-in plan.

It's morning here.

According to the time difference, it should be late at night on Bruce's side.

Dawn couldn't help but frowned before he answered the phone - he knew Bruce's routine, and at this time, the other party should have fallen asleep long ago.

——It’s not about thinking about that issue and about this time, is it?

Even though he knew that Bruce might not agree to himself easily, Dawn happily leaned back on the back of his chair and changed into a comfortable position.Tapping his fingers lightly on the arm of the chair, he connected the phone.

"Bruce—"

"Don, let's break up." The other side said clearly.

The author has something to say:

I don't know whether I should feel sorry for the robber, or the bat, or Dawn...

After thinking about it, Dawn seems to be the worst.

Dawn: How do you break up after proposing to your boyfriend?

Dawn: Throw away this author and get another one.
