[Batman] Esther

Chapter 6

Bruce returned to the temporary residence after discussing with Fox, and Afu greeted him.

"Master Bruce, why did you come back so late today, are you going to be a hero again?"

"No, by the way, Aff, you...do you remember Esther?" Bruce thought for a while and asked.

Although Afu is old, he still has a good memory, otherwise how could he have served Wayne's family for so long.

"Of course I remember Master, when you were young, didn't you often play with Miss Esther and Miss Rachel? Esther is such a cute and polite boy, but it's a pity..." Afu really I like Esther very much, but at the same time, it evokes the sadness of the past, and I am afraid that Bruce will be sad when I talk too much.

"Aff... If...you have a good friend who you haven't seen for many years and thought she was dead...but she suddenly appeared and pretended not to know you, why?" Bruce adjusted his thinking and expressed his thoughts tactfully.

Afu glanced at him, and vaguely guessed what he meant, "...Master, you mean you met the surviving Miss Esther and she still refuses to recognize you?"

Bruce stood there motionless for a while, scratching his neat black head, and finally broke his can, "...I...she...this... anyway, why doesn't she recognize me?"

"I think...maybe you did something to offend her?" Afu guessed.

"What's wrong with her? What have I done all these years? Is it because I didn't recognize her when I first saw her?" Bruce couldn't think of anything wrong.

Afu nodded to confirm his thoughts, "Master, I think, a girl has a low face, so she will definitely care whether others remember her or not."

"But we haven't seen each other for at least ten years, and I always thought she was dead, don't you?"

After thinking about it, Afu felt that what Bruce said was right, "But, master, is Miss Estel really not dead? Have you asked what's going on?"

Bruce clenched his fists and said to Afu, "I'll ask Rachel again." After finishing speaking, he wanted to go out again.Alfred reached out to stop him.

"My lord, it's very late now, and I think Miss Rachel has already gone to bed, you might as well go tomorrow."

He glanced at his watch, and the pointer pointed to 1 o'clock, thinking why did he get flustered when he encountered Esther?

The next day, Bruce made an appointment to talk to Rachel in a cafe, and Rachel told him everything Esther had said to her.After listening, Bruce leaned back in his chair and thought.It turns out that Esther came here in this way all these years. It turns out that the little princess who was born in a spoon almost starved to death. Recalling that Esther was small when she was a child, she is still a lot worse than them now. .It's all because of that bastard Ficone!

"...Bruce, Bruce!"

"Huh? What's the matter, Rachel."

Rachel looked at him with determination and said, "Listen Bruce, Esther is a good girl and I hope you will do everything in your power to help her, her past is miserable enough, if you can be there for her, at least she I won’t be cheating again.”

Bruce looked at her with a smile: "Of course I know this. Whether she recognizes me or not, she is our friend, isn't she? Needless to say, I will help her."

Rachel looked at him complicatedly, she said more than that, but she opened her mouth and said nothing.

When he got home, Bruce asked how Afcha was doing, but Esther had been hiding so well all these years that he couldn't find any clues, and besides, the people at the bottom of Gotham City were mixed up, so Bruce had to Not personally.

Esther insisted that no matter what happened, she could not give up her way of making money, and it was only a few days before she came out to look for her gold again.

Another piece of "gold" was hooked up, and he helped the drunk man to the guest room, Esther cursed inwardly: If it wasn't for the money on your body, my old lady would have thrown you to the ground long ago.

Just looking at the floor but not seeing the oncoming person, and accidentally knocking off the thing in his hand, Esther wanted to say sorry, but when he looked closely, he put all his strength on the man on his body and ran away.

Bruce picked up his things and stood up. There was no one in front of him. Looking back, he saw a woman carrying a man on his back, but why was the woman's figure so familiar?

Esther walked into the guest room without waiting for the man to speak, knocked him unconscious with a knife, rummaged through the valuables on his body, and kept saying: "It's really a narrow road to the enemy! Why did I run into him again! No, I have to hurry up... .Oh! I can’t take it off!!”

"Do you need me to pick it for you?"

! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Esther stared blankly at someone who was leaning against the door with a smile on his face.

"...No need, I can do it myself." You can be a girl!What am I talking about? ! !Est roared in his heart!How could she answer such a sentence? ! ! !

Bruce walked in leisurely step by step, closed the door, and stopped in front of Esther.

"Esther... are you... robbing?" Bruce looked at the property all over the floor and recalled what she did in front of the hotel and in the elevator, and couldn't help being surprised.

She recovered and did not deny the movement in her hands, "It's obvious, isn't it?" A hand stopped her hand that was about to reach into the man's pocket.

"Esther, you shouldn't be like this." Bruce looked at her with some distress. The Esther in her memory was lively and lovely, not the criminal who stole other people's property in front of her.

Esther lowered his hand, put the things in his carry-on bag and was about to leave.

Bruce stepped in front of her and held out his hand.Esther glanced around him, Bruce blocked it again, repeated several times, Esther lost his patience.Shouting at him, "You're never finished!"

"At least I can't let you go out with these things!" Bruce's sense of justice suddenly rose in his heart. Although Esther didn't kill anyone, it was still a crime, and he didn't want her to go on such a path.

"Why do you care about me?!"

"...Because you're my friend..."

"Friend? You can't even recognize me, and you still say we are friends?!"

"I thought you were dead!"

"Don't use it as an excuse for everything! You can't recognize it, so why does Rachel recognize it? I don't think you care about me at all!"

"I don't, I also care about you, but..." Bruce was a little embarrassed to say, "Esther, listen to me, put down what you are holding, and follow me."

What?Esther's head is a little short-circuited.Seeing that she didn't respond, Bruce snatched her bag, poured out all the contents, and walked out while grabbing her wrist.

Esther was caught off guard by his series of things, not as strong as he was, and he didn't forget to look at the scattered things on the ground before being dragged away by him.

Bruce dragged Esther down all the way, and when he got to a crowded place, he directly put her head in his arms, without saying a word, threw her into the sports car, fastened her seat belt, stepped on the accelerator and went straight to the temporary residence .But Esther had only one sentence in his mind: Shit!I was kidnapped by Bruce Wayne!
