Superman's age has always been a headache, but he and Bruce are usually careful not to let anyone take pictures or videos of them.If Clarkbert had to show up to register something, Bruce would teach him disguise.
In addition, they often move, change neighbors constantly, and do not make friends very well.In this way, no one really discovered Clark's identity.You see, in modern society, the relationship between people is more indifferent than we think.
But if someone with a heart comes to check it out, it's another matter.
Facing Tim's gentle and friendly smile, Clark felt that he couldn't think of any reason to drive him away.He coughed lightly and said, "Bruce is inside, but Clark...uncle is out."
"Oh, sorry, did I bother you?" Tim's worried look really looked like that.
The difficult bat cub, Superman sighed silently in his heart, his brain was running fast to think of a better excuse to drive him away: "I don't care, but Bruce has been in poor health recently, and at this time he is catching up on sleep—"
"Who's outside?" The voice from the room made Clark's face stiff.
What about the best tacit understanding?Bruce?Don't bring such a slap in the face!
Tim looked more sincerely at the unpredictable expression on Clark's face. He seemed to hesitate for a long time before finally giving up and said, "It seems that Bruce is awake, come in and talk, er, sir?"
"Tim Pennyworth." Tim walked in without hesitation, and shook hands with Clark.
"K...well, Colbert. You said you were Jim's friend? But it doesn't look like you have an intersection, after all... different age groups." Clark guessed that Tim was probably for Gotham yesterday. Things come.
"That's right, Mr. Burt, James and I met at a fundraising event. He was a charity volunteer when he was in college, and he came to our company to find me many times to discuss raising charitable funds. It took a long time We have become friends. James is a young man who is enthusiastic about public welfare and treats others with warmth and gentleness." Tim took out the rhetoric he had made up a long time ago.
These words are not entirely lies. According to the information, James Layton is indeed a college student who often participates in charity activities.He has a good reputation in school, cheerful and gentle, eager to help others, he is the most standard kind of promising young man.
"Ah, I remember, you are the president of the Pennyworth Group. Oh, my God!" Clark was proud of his acting skills at this moment, even though he knew very well that if Bruce didn't come out again, he couldn't hold on .
Fortunately, Bruce didn't make him wait too long, and the old man was still a little tired after his nap.He came over in a wheelchair, looked up and saw the visitor without showing any expression, his movements were as natural as if he just saw a stranger.
Compared with this kind of proficient acting skills, Clark felt like a little girl who participated in a drama for the first time just now.
"Who is this?" Bruce asked listlessly.
"Mr. Pennyworth came to see you and Uncle Clark. He said he was Jim's friend." Clark replied wittily, then walked up to Bruce, and carefully wrote "I'm Kerr" on the back of Bruce's hand. "A few words.
Then he turns his back on Tim and looks at Bruce begging for help, since he can't act in Tim's face anyway.
Bruce resisted the urge to hit him, and said calmly: "Kerr, let's see how the afternoon tea is going. There are two cups of tea for the guests, sir, let's talk over here."
Without waiting for Bruce to say it a second time, Clark greeted Tim and took refuge in the kitchen.
Bruce invites Tim to sit on the couch, and Tim tells his story again.
"So, you just heard about Jim?" Bruce tapped his fingers on the armrest of the wheelchair, with a proper sadness on his expression, just like an old man who lost his adopted son being mentioned again about his sadness.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Burt. But I think it's time to come and see you. James was worried about you two before he went to the battlefield." Tim said with guilt, losing his best friend and worrying about his adoptive father. The image is vividly interpreted.
Bruce nodded silently in his heart, Tim has grown a lot over the years.
"I heard that James quit the previous charity society, it seems to join another group. Now that James is gone, I want to contribute to him again and donate some charitable funds to this group. Do you know that he later joined Which organization did you join?" After chatting a few words, Tim asked casually.
"I'm not very clear, after all, James doesn't mention it much at home."
"Hasn't James brought friends over to his house? He's always such a warm person."
Bruce sighed: "You also know that this family is different from ordinary families. Although same-sex families are not as exclusive as they used to be, after all, there is a big age difference between me and Clark, and it will be more troublesome to let other people know. Jim He is a good boy, because of this matter, he also suffered a lot of misunderstandings and grievances at school."
"I don't think James will care about this. He loves you very much." It can be seen that the family has a good relationship, Tim guessed.
Bruce shook his head, as if caught in an irresistible sadness because of the words.In this way, it was difficult for Tim to ask what he said afterwards, and they sat in silence for a while until Clark came out with afternoon tea.
What Clark brought to Tim were two plates of cookies with different flavors and a cup of black tea.And the only thing served to Bruce was two original Bantang biscuits and a glass of fruit juice.
Bruce squinted his eyes in dissatisfaction, and asked for the same afternoon tea as Tim with his eyes.But Clark was determined, he was crazy to give Bruce so much sweets!The health of his beloved is getting worse year by year. Compared with taste, nutrition and health come first.Eating too much sugar can make Bruce sick, and drinking too much tea can make him unable to sleep at night, and his energy will be worse the next day.
Tim tastes a cookie out of politeness, then pauses.
"What's the matter, Mr. Pennyworth? Do you think the snacks are not in the right taste?" Clark asked.
"No... It's a delicious cookie, it reminds me of my childhood." Tim shook his head. Although the cookie was delicious and a bit like Ah Fu's, it was still too far away.
Bruce ate the two half-tang biscuits unhappily, and then reached out and took a chocolate cookie from the plate in front of Tim naturally. Clark had no time to stop him, and Bruce ate it.
"It should be fine, Kerr's biscuits are very good." Bruce smiled at Tim, who was taken aback again.
Clark's face was about to freeze, and he really wanted to get Tim out first, and then have a serious talk with Bruce about "don't be so self-willed, take care of your body".
And Tim felt very powerless at the moment. He was not sure whether the old man was doing it on purpose or not. Every time he raised a key question, he would be bypassed by the other party. .
Looking at the other person's face, he only felt a strange feeling in his heart.But he was sure he didn't know this Mr. Brucebert, he had never even met him.But I instinctively want to get close to him, listen to him more, as long as that deep and old voice sounds, it will make him feel at ease like a magic spell.
Get close to him, look up to him, rely on him, protect him, obey him...
Tim even began to wonder if the other party had superpowers to control people's hearts, just like Poison Ivy's pollen.
When Bruce petulantly reaches for the second cookie, Tim moves faster than he thinks, removing the plate first.Then all three of them froze, and Tim felt his face burn.
This is really rude, and this action is inexplicable.
But Tim himself knows why, and he knows that Kerr is limiting Brucebert's sugar intake.This is a very sensible approach, such an old man really shouldn't eat so much sweet food.But what does it matter to him? ! !He just came to visit as a guest, and it was the first time we met, so what qualifications did he have to take care of the host's food and health?
"I..." Tim hasn't been so embarrassed in many years, he feels like an incoherent child at the moment.
"Don't mind, Mr. Pennyworth." Bruce raised his eyebrows and said, "If you think it's good, I'll ask Kerr to pack one for you later. If you want, you can often come here for afternoon tea."
Oh, he wanted to burn himself to death!No, he felt that the temperature on his face was already enough to burn him to death.
A soft laugh rang in his ears, and Tim realized that the wheelchair had moved to his side at some point, and the old man in the wheelchair looked at him with raised eyebrows, as if he was making a decision.
Tim could hear his heart beating faster, what was he expecting?What is he excited about?
In the end, the old man let out a long sigh, stretched out his hand to touch Tim's soft black hair, put his old hand on his shoulder and patted him twice, and said softly, "Tim..."
The violently beating heart stopped suddenly at that moment, and then rose and fell more violently.
Please tell him this is not a hallucination or the result of his wild guessing.Tim opened his mouth, and it took a few seconds for him to find his own voice. He was surprised that his voice could still be so calm.
He heard himself ask quietly, "Bruce?"
"It's me," Bruce responded, "Now, tell me the whole story, what the hell is going on with Jim?"
"Jim...James Layton?" Tim repeated, finally realizing something.
So, Bruce picked up another baby?Great, he has another brother.For this, Tim accepted it without much struggle.After all, Batman has the habit of picking up children, one, two, three, and four at home. After a long time, everyone has gotten used to it.
Anyway, one sheep is herding, and two sheep are also herding... No, he means, anyway, he has to take care of Jason and Damian, and it doesn't matter how many James there are.However, judging from this trend, this younger brother might not be worrying again.
And he beat Jason and the others as soon as he came up, how should he get along with them in the future?
President Tim, who immediately turned into Hen No. [-], was all focused on his new brother. As for Superman or something... Anyway, it's good that Bruce didn't die, and the Superman matter can be discussed later.
The author has something to say: Hen One is Dick and Tim is Hen Two.Really stable and reliable, a good boy who cares about the whole family.On the top, I have to worry about Bruce eating less sweets and being less self-willed. On the bottom, I have to worry about brothers not killing each other, and cleaning up Hydra.So for President Tim, Superman or something is not the point.
The younger brother is the key, right? !
*Originally, the stupid author planned to let the old bat fool the little bat, so that the third young master still couldn't find his papa.But as I was writing, I suddenly felt... the third young master is so pitiful, I really can't stop to abuse him. So... let them recognize each other.
*The reason for not being able to recognize Clark and Bruce is the confusion spell, a harmless magic that acts on the brain, which will make people subconsciously unable to match the face with the identity.But once the identity of the other party is realized, the spell is invalid.
*So, Inception can only be postponed, sosad╮(╯_╰)╭
In addition, they often move, change neighbors constantly, and do not make friends very well.In this way, no one really discovered Clark's identity.You see, in modern society, the relationship between people is more indifferent than we think.
But if someone with a heart comes to check it out, it's another matter.
Facing Tim's gentle and friendly smile, Clark felt that he couldn't think of any reason to drive him away.He coughed lightly and said, "Bruce is inside, but Clark...uncle is out."
"Oh, sorry, did I bother you?" Tim's worried look really looked like that.
