After buying the earth [Comprehensive British and American]

Alfred couldn't help but freeze in place, staring in surprise at the two people on the lawn of Wayne Manor, one big and one small, who almost melted into the darkness.

The last time he was so surprised was because Master Bruce decided to become Batman.

And now, it's because of Batman standing on the lawn and the one to his left and a smaller version of Bruce Wayne.They had already come out of the darkness, and they fell within the range of the manor lights. Batman was still walking steadily, and he didn't seem to be injured—and the little boy standing beside him, His face clearly fell into the eyes of the old housekeeper, with black stubborn hair, dark blue eyes, and tightly pressed lips that seemed somewhat displeased... Everything made Alfred couldn't help taking a breath gas.

The old butler almost thought it was some kind of magic again, and completely divided Bruce Wayne and Batman into two people... However, he soon realized that this child was definitely not the young Bruce, because the young Master Bruce But not like this, pretending to be mature.

He turned his head calmly, pressed the communication device for calling the Batcave, and told the important news of "Master is back" to several young masters who stayed inside for several days.

Batman has been missing for days.

These days, Dick and Jason have searched all possible places where Batman could appear, tortured every possible enemy, and tried to find Batman who suddenly disappeared, even Tim - so it's not official yet. The children who joined the Bat family also contributed their own strength to this.Maybe because the night Batman disappeared, the night he came to Wayne Manor, Tim always seemed to feel that Batman's disappearance had something to do with him—

But, in fact, everyone in the know knew that it couldn't possibly have anything to do with Tim.After excluding all the attacks from old opponents, everyone has a vague guess: Batman's disappearance may be related to Hilda who also disappeared before.

But this speculation did not alleviate everyone's worries, even though Jason firmly believed that Hilda could not really hurt Bruce, even if he could put down his body and show the posture of Brucey's baby, it would not take long for him to be completely bearded back.However, after all, it was not Bruce in a suit that disappeared, but Batman in armor.After all, no one knows what Hilda, who thinks she has been ruthlessly deceived, will do to Batman, and how long it will take for him to return to Gotham.

...and now, he's back.

The master who disappeared on the lawn of Wayne Manor, now reappeared on the lawn of Wayne Manor, and brought another child who looked very similar to him.

Alfred didn't dare to say the guess that his intuition gave him.

The British butler's calm behavior for decades has ensured that he did not make any rude moves, but maintained his composure as always. He just took a breath and opened the door to welcome Batman. arrival:

"Welcome back... Mr. Batman."

... Well, maybe this welcome sentence full of contradictions still revealed his mood at the moment.

"...Thank you, Fu."

The Dark Knight nodded to him, his voice inexplicably hoarse than usual - the old butler didn't know if this was an illusion.

The large black cloak silently brushed across the floor, and behind him, the boy walked in with his arms folded, and glanced arrogantly at the interior decoration of the entrance hall of Wayne Manor.

"It's smaller than I thought, Father," he commented.

Although he had already guessed, the butler still gave a slight meal.

Batman glanced at Damian lightly: "I think you'd better get used to it, Damian."

- This is almost equivalent to the default.

The old butler looked at Batman.

"This is Damian Wayne," he introduced briefly, "and this is the Wayne housekeeper, Alfred—"

"Mr. Alfred Pennyworth," Damian said first, and held out a hand to the old housekeeper earnestly, "I know you, Mr. Pennyworth, mother respects you very much, she often says , you are a truly strong man who cannot be measured by reason."

The old butler was a little surprised, then bent down, and shook hands with Damian cooperatively, his eyes were gentle: "Oh, I am very honored to receive such a high evaluation, maybe I can know your mother's name?" A guess, though, is this possible?After all, the boy looked like he was 7 years old.

Damian was very satisfied with the attitude of the old housekeeper, he replied: "My mother is Hilda."

"I'm not surprised by this at all." The old butler looked at the boy's face, "...Although you look a lot like Master Wayne, from some angles you look very much like your mother, Master Damian. "

—It seems that the master was indeed taken away by Miss Hilda.And as far as it looks now, he hasn't been hurt in any way, except that his voice seems to have become a little hoarse, but that's not a big deal, is it?Apparently, it was just an ordinary quarrel between the couple.Alfred finally let go of his heart completely at this moment, and focused on Damian, an obviously extraordinary child.

Damian paused, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly uncontrollably, obviously liking the compliment: "...Really? I have to say, you have great vision, Mr. Pennyworth."

Although he tried his best to conceal his excitement, tried to show a more mature adult appearance, and even said his words were not so polite, but in the eyes of Alfred, who obviously had a filter on him, he only showed a little bit more The cuteness of the child.

So his eyes softened a bit: "I'm very sorry, I didn't know that you would come to Wayne Manor today, so I didn't prepare a welcome ceremony - but there are some cookies in the kitchen, maybe you will like them, Master Damian."

"Ah Fu," Batman interrupted the atmosphere here, "These few days I'm not here, Gotham..."

"Gotham is fine, sir." The old butler finally withdrew his loving eyes, and looked at Batman, who only brought back the child but failed to bring back the object, and only had work in his heart, "If your love life can be like these days? It's as calm as Gotham, and maybe all of us don't have to be so worried."

Batman: "..."

The old butler was very polite: "However, I still have to thank you, Mr. Batman, for your heroic efforts to bring back the young master of the Wayne family. I believe Master Wayne will also thank you for all the sacrifices you have made." He emphasized the following Two words, this gave Batman the illusion of being kicked out of the house by the old butler.

It's as if the old butler had also acquiesced in Hilda's set: simply treat Bruce and Batman as two separate people.

Even though he knew that Alfred was probably trying to squeeze him on purpose, Batman still felt that he had a heart attack for no reason.

"Damian is my son and Hilda's," he explained. "...I don't know how she did it, but the first time I met Damian, he looked like this."

Damian yawned.

At the same time, there were several loud noises from upstairs, followed by a series of coughs, and the loud "bang bang bang" going downstairs like a troll. After a while, several figures with disbelief appeared in the In the eyes of the three people downstairs.

Dick's eyes fell on Batman, and before he could show his excitement, Jason gave him an elbow, motioning him to watch them closely, his eyes full of vigilance, and he almost hunched over and breathed out. Mian.

So Dick's words turned a corner: "Boo—won't you? Did I hear you right? This is really your and Hilda's son? That's pretty cool! Are you going to have another baby?" He Looking forward, "I want a younger sister."

——Sure enough, Dick can't be expected to say anything meaningful.Jason pressed his forehead, didn't he notice that Hilda's son obviously had obvious hostility towards them that was almost overflowing?

He crossed his arms and followed behind Dick. While carrying Tim, who was a little embarrassed, he walked slowly downstairs, fully mentally prepared: for Hilda's sake, he could not talk to her son. Generally cares - as long as he doesn't do too much.

"Hi, hello." As the eldest brother, Dick was the first to extend a friendly hand, "Is your name Damian? I'm Dick Grayson."

Damian remained motionless, staring at Dick critically.

The atmosphere is a little frozen.

Just when Dick could barely maintain his smile, Jason folded his arms and looked on coldly, and Batman frowned to remind him, Damian finally made a move.

Beyond Jason's expectations, the boy showed a "friendly" smile although he was not proficient: "...I know you, Grayson."

Jason was extremely surprised. He stared at Damian suspiciously, completely unaware that his prediction of Damian's actions was wrong—it shouldn't be.

But Dick was obviously very happy: "You can call me Dick, or brother."

Damian's smile suddenly lost half, and he withdrew his hand: "...that's unnecessary."

"I'm Jason, Jason Todd." Jason observed him and introduced himself.

"I know you too, Todd." Damian raised his chin slightly, "You are my father's two sons before me."

Dick and Jason couldn't help but look at each other.

To be honest, this sentence sounds a bit weird to the two of them—although Bruce is indeed the father of the two of them in a legal sense, and they secretly regard Bruce as their father in their hearts, but... Why is it so awkward for Damian to say that.

Damian was not in the mood to pay attention to the subtle emotions of the two of them, his eyes had already fallen on Tim: "So, who are you? Father's third son?"

Tim paused, looking a little embarrassed: "No, I'm Tim Drake, I have my own father... I'm just here to help."

Batman's eyes fell on Tim.

Damian looked at him: "Well, I hope what you said is true... Tim, maybe we can get along well."—It seems that this guy will not come to compete with him as the heir of Batman, since In this case, classify him as an object that can be wooed.

Dick and Jason, who were called by their surnames: "...?"

Tim, who was caught off guard and treated specially: "...?"

Batman who seems to have guessed what Damian was thinking:  …
