Dressed in a superhero shell to save the world [Comprehensive British and American]

Moses had little to say about his subsequent exchange with Thalia.

It's not because there's really anything inappropriate for children, although the content and methods of their communication are not very 'all ages'.

Anyway, Thalia's proposal to have a baby was rejected outright, yet the woman walked away looking so content that even Batman wasn't sure she really got what he wanted.

The fire in Arkham continued to burn until two o'clock in the morning before it was completely extinguished.For this kind of disaster beyond the reach of personal power, all Moses can do is to ensure that no criminals escape in the chaos.More and more injured patients were carried to the hospital, the sirens of ambulances and fire engines became the main theme of the night, the radio and TV were turned on in the early morning, and all the news channels continued to pay attention to this matter.

There was a short confrontation between Deathstroke and Nightwing, the subordinates of the Assassin League, and they threw a grenade with Red Hood in the middle, but it didn't have any real effect. Tom stumbles, causing the first bloodshed.The two also quarreled over whether they should use small hand-fired ammunition indoors, until Ye Yi held their heads down and apologized.

But the death knell didn't stay in Wayne Group for too long. After Thalia greeted him, he scrapped more than a dozen pieces of glass in Wayne Building, jumped onto the roof of the building and fled away in a helicopter.

"Have you read today's paper?" said Red Hood.

It was half a month after the Arkham fire and the Wayne Group terrorist attack. Dick and Jason were huddled in a small safe room under the jurisdiction of the Red Hood. In the Moses Drake video, Jason called this behavior analogous to pasting photos on tombstones, called 'sound and appearance', but unfortunately Tim was far away and couldn't fight him,

Ye Yi asked, "What news?"

His tone seemed reluctant.

This is for a reason.

Since Thanksgiving, the time has entered December, and the Christmas holiday is getting closer and closer. At the end of the year, the social animals of the newspaper office are making devilish remarks, trying to attract people's attention at any cost.

They exchanged contact information with Tim during the Wayne Building incident, and formed a small group of teenagers with Batman's tacit approval.Among them, Ye Yi is the best and most mature.Red Hood understands the three teachings and nine streams of Gotham, and the action mode is slanted.And Tim... both of them didn't really take him seriously at first.

After all, a seemingly pampered young master, no matter how talented he is, has nothing in common with them.

Until the kid took the notebook, which listed the three-digit Batman-related information, and he himself concluded the possible real identity under the mask of the Gotham Vigilante—Bruce Wayne was impressively listed, and the ranking was not low. When it was time, both Nightwing and Red Hood felt their scalps go numb.

This is very embarrassing.

So Tim's status in the discussion group rose suddenly, from a dispensable follower to a mastermind behind the scenes.

There was a tacit understanding between them, and neither of them brought Batman's identity to the surface.

But Drake's parents are present and their business is booming, so it is impossible to let their son fool around, so the team's communication method has to be changed to two offline parties and one online party.

"I read it." Tim's voice was deliberately lowered from the phone, "I've been following recent media trends, which one are you referring to?"

The red hood shook the newspaper in his hand and read: "'The police spokesman intends to conduct an investigation into the identity of Batman: saying that the public can no longer tolerate citizens' safety being placed in the hands of thugs'. The following is the specific content, do you want to continue reading?"

Ye Yi curled his lips and urged, "Let's sum it up."

"In short, it is the result of a combination of crime rate rebound, retaliatory attacks and factional struggles within the police." Red Hood said, "This rubbish newspaper said it interviewed 90.00% of the people in Gotham, and 95% of them resisted, and they don't know who I am. How did you get excluded from the [-]%?"

"I haven't seen it either." Tim said, "but this kind of topic has become very popular recently, not only for Batman, as far as I know, the team of Green Arrow and Iron Man in Star City have been bombarded Object. Things are better on the Canterlot Flash side."

Ye Yi took out his mobile phone: "I'll go to the forum to have a look."

He glanced down at the title of the hot post, put down his phone and cursed.

Tim asked, "Nightwing, how is your adoptive father doing?"

"It's good. There have been no major events in the past half month, and Chairman Wayne has started to go to work on time." Although it seems quite reluctant.

In the video call in his hand, the black-haired boy couldn't help raising his eyebrows, held up another newspaper, pointed to the headline on it and said, "The way he works seriously is to say that he doesn't like Batman in media interviews?"

Uh.

"...Maybe this is a strategy?"

"But I think he's quite serious." Tim glanced at the news again. The paper had been folded repeatedly, and it had obviously been read many times. "Is there anything important you haven't told?" Me? What am I missing?"

He glanced bewilderedly at his new friends.

"Actually, we don't know much." Jason, who often quarrels with Tim, doesn't mean he has a bad relationship with him, replied cautiously, "But you know, Batman is very familiar with this."

Ye Yi looked at him and then at Tim, and felt that only when they quarreled could others realize the age of the two children.

It's sad.

Just like Bruce.

Perhaps it is impossible for anyone who has experienced too much or has seen too far to have a complete and carefree teenage time.

"He may have experienced it." Nightwing said vaguely, "It's about being accused, being wanted by the police, being treated as a criminal." The Joker even said that Batman from another world took the blame for Two-Face, because of that The self-destructive lunatic was once the most likely person to bring about change in Gotham.

When others are arguing fiercely about whether the vigilante should exist or not, the parties they denounce know very well - Batman is the one who holds the rope to prevent the city from falling, but even he himself cannot break free from the edge of the cliff stand up.

The judicial system, people's concepts, etc., require people to make spontaneous changes after believing in the hope brought by Batman.

"So don't worry, Batman has a plan."

Tim squirmed uneasily in his chair, the classy bedroom decor behind him.

"I don't think...it's a good idea."

"Ok?"

"I mean, even if he's prepared, should people just do nothing and wait for him to figure it out?"

Ye Yi and him looked at each other across the Internet.

Tim sometimes makes people feel that he is a bit like Batman.But most of the time, Ye Yi felt that it was his own illusion.Batman walks in a gray area and is ambiguous about many actions.And Timothy Drake, he's like a detective in the traditional literature, with a wise and black-and-white perspective on things.

That's the difference between Tim and the other two guys on the team.

Both Nightwing and Red Hood believed that Batman could solve the problem, and chose not to interfere due to various concerns.

Tim would tell them 'what should we do'.

"how do you want to do it?"

**

"This is your 'plan'?" Red Hood sat cross-legged on the sofa with a Coke cup in hand, his voice gritted his teeth, "Timothy Drake, there is at least a pack of Nightwing between you and Batman."

"Hey!" Nightwing protested.

"What's the problem?" Tim raised his chin proudly. "The small program I made can generate four-digit robot accounts in one minute—depending on your system processing speed."

"Aha! Genius! Then we became Batman's free trolls, fighting superheroes online."

"You have to admit that this plan is very effective. Most people have already admitted that their speech was inappropriate, and only [-]% are still stubbornly resisting."

"With this time I..."

"Wait," Yeyi pulled the red hood and showed him his computer screen, which was a blogger who passionately insulted Batman and was proud and unrepentant, "I want the account with high authority in your hand, this guy said It's too ugly."

The red hood's eyes froze for a moment.

Then he completely forgot what he was going to say.

"I'll come in person." He moved Ye Yi's computer into his arms.

At this time, there are less than 48 hours left before Christmas.

Moses got up early to help Alfred clean up Wayne Manor.This is the first time the two have faced such a grand festival since they moved in. Since there is no precedent, they have to play freely.In addition to preparing snacks and gifts for the children, all kinds of Christmas decorations, new furniture and new equipment are available. All they need to do is organize these clutter into the right place.

"Where's Dick?" The Wayne Group finally had a vacation, and both the boss and the employees felt relieved. Moses didn't have to deal with reports, observe the stock market, and make various decisions for about a month. He finally found his own The adopted son runs around too much during the day.

It's not like they didn't know that Nightwing, Red Hood, and Tim Drake had something like a teenage superhero squad.

But it's the festive season, and even Batman's night watch time has been reduced. What the hell are they up to?

"Go to his friends." Alfred was looking at the shopping list without looking up, "You know, no matter how much a family loves a child, there will be a day when he abandons his parents and starts his own house."

Moses:"……"

Am I not yet 30 to think about such a heavy thing?

He's always been in a bit of a trance about being a parent.But when looking at Dick, there is indeed that weird sense of relief.

Perhaps this is the difference between ideal and reality.

After overcoming the obsessive-compulsive disorder and trying to indulge young people to have their own little secrets, Batman is like a person who has been busy for half his life and suddenly gets idle, so boring that he has nothing to do. Dirty words were sprayed out of the kitchen.

Finally, Moses came to the back garden of Wayne Manor with a bouquet of flowers, brushed away the snow on the two tombstones that were mainly symbolic, looked at the two familiar and unfamiliar names for a while, and then lowered his head. Said: "I'm sorry."

He didn't know why he was apologizing.

Perhaps it is because there are no Thomas and Martha in this world, but the grief in Batman's heart has not dissipated.

This is what the dead leave behind in the world and comforts the living.

"Two days may not be enough time. I wish you all a Merry Christmas in advance," he said.

Alfred watched him quietly from afar.

The dishes in the evening were extraordinarily rich, and Ye Yi hurried back when the lights were brightly lit, his shoulders were covered with wet traces from the melting snow, and even his long black hair was drooping in strands.

"I didn't miss dinner, Bruce." His voice was a little tired, but he asked with a smile.

"No, we're still waiting for you." Moses looked at him, "What's there to be happy about?"

"Well, it's not very important." The young man's eyes flickered, and he quickly walked over and opened the chair to sit down. Alfred handed him a towel to dry his hair, "I didn't mean to hide it from you. You will know."

'immediately'?

There was a vague guess in his heart, but he was not very sure. The man shook his head and said to Dick, "Eat first."

They touched each other lightly with their wine glasses, although no one was drinking at all on the long table.

"I heard that Alfred asked you to invite Jason Todd to Wayne Manor for Christmas."

"Oh yes! He said yes," Dick said. "But, you know he's got some... small events, and it might be late anyway."

"Master has a gift for him." It's a helmet - Batman is trying to make the red hood look good, at least not look like a super villain, but the results are not satisfactory.

Dick: "He'll love it. Also Tim asked me to say Merry Christmas to you guys."

Moses said: "I heard that his parents were on a business trip and couldn't make it back."

"That's right, but there are many bodyguards in his house, so he can't leave casually, otherwise I want to invite him too. Sorry, I didn't have time to ask if you mind."

"It's Christmas." The young man sitting at the top answered briefly.

Dick couldn't help smiling again.

A gentle yet persistent emotion enveloped him, even though his arms were so heavy that he could hardly lift them, his heart seemed to be floating in the clouds.

The world is slowly changing for the better.

he thought happily.

Such positive thoughts made Dick unable to hold back his joy, and said to Batman: "We have prepared a surprise for you."
