The bat's family Wayne [Comprehensive British and American]

It's Bruce's communication.

In order to avoid errors in the coordinates, several people made an appointment in advance for about a week to open the space channel again to contact Bruce to confirm the situation there.

If there is still an accident during this time travel, it is still up to Bruce to pick up Bruce.

The communication took longer than Bruce expected.

He turned his head and looked at Tony, who was also paying attention to the call.

"Hello? Bruce?" Brucey connected the communication.

Standing among the high and low gangsters, he couldn't help licking his lips, a little nervous——

Bruce won't know what's going on here, but, after all, this is Bruce's first call with the real Batman after he became 'Batman'.

"How's it going?" Bruce asked.

The suspicious voice in the background of the communication immediately attracted Batman's attention.

"Are you in danger?" He was alert, "Is there a mistake in the space coordinates?"

"Uh--"

"No, I'm back in my own world."

"But something went wrong?" Bruce was sharp. "Don't deny it, Bruce—you know you can't hide it from me. Why are you in danger?"

— Well, who called him Batman.

"Things are a bit unexpected." Brucey considered his words, "Anyway, I just discovered that the Batman at this time is actually myself."

Simple description, but as a competent detective, Bruce understood the cause and effect at once.

In Brucey's world, Batman is the savior of Thomas and Martha, and the spiritual idol of Brucey at a young age... The reason why Brucey can grow up peacefully and happily is that Thomas and Batman restrained him one by one. Gotham's crime rate development——

Although I don't know why Brucey doesn't have space-time refutation, but: "You went back to the past? And saved them?"

"..." Bruce was silent.

He acquiesced.

Bruce fell silent, too.

He stared at Tony, who was standing nearby listening to the phone.

Tony: "What's the matter? Since it was sent to the wrong place, why don't we bring Brucey back and let's relocate?"

Neither Wayne responded to the sentence.

From Brucey's memory, Batman has been haunting Gotham since he was about eight years old.This means that Brucey did not choose to leave, he stayed in that time and space.

It's kind of weird, they're using the known past to speculate on what's going to happen in the future.And it's hard for Bruce to tell what he's thinking now——

It is good that Bruce can return to his original life smoothly, but it means changing the trajectory of the parallel world... This is something Bruce will never do.If he went back to the night when Martha and the others were robbed more than ten years ago, Bruce would resist the desire to change history even if he endured the heartbreak in the shadows.

Because that's Batman.

Before reaching out to help, he had considered all the possible consequences of changing history, weighed the unknown risks, and then put his selfish desires aside for the sake of the overall situation.

Even if he is facing the death of his own biological parents.

Bruce Wayne has feelings, but Batman can't.

Batman can only be rational.

"What do you think?" He handed Bruce the choice.

"..."

Bruce was equally troubled.

Emotionally speaking, he really wants to go back to his parents—not the current young versions of Thomas and Martha, but the parents who tolerated him when he grew up and have begun to grow old.

That was his real home.

but--

Batman tripped him up.

Without Batman, this world's Gotham, this world's Wayne, and this world's Bruce... If he chooses to go back, will he still be waiting for his familiar world?Even if there is no change in the future, what about this world that has gone to another branch because of its own choice?What about these people?

Bruce couldn't help thinking about it.

——Without Batman, would everything in this world continue to develop in a good direction?

Every second that the space machine was turned on was an enormous energy drain, but no one urged Brucey, and no one tried to interfere with his choice.

This makes the choice even more difficult.

The future of the whole world is in your hands...

Brucey glanced at the criminals at his feet and took a deep breath: "Let me think about it, Bruce." He paused, then gave the criminals one by one a knife and knocked them out.

All were bundled into a pile.

Brucey left the men in the alley and climbed over the wall to see the lady he had rescued earlier.

She was still standing there wrapped in a cloak.Seeing Brucey come back, the woman folded the cloak and handed it to him.

"Thank you." She seemed to have calmed down. "Without you, I don't know what would have happened today... I wonder if I have the honor to know your name?"

"..."

Bruce and Tony stood in the watchtower waiting for Bruce's reply.But obviously, the newly appointed Batman chose to continue his career first——

They heard the unknown woman thank Bruce and ask him for his name.

Bruce paused.

A low, scary voice that seemed to be produced by a torn throat sounded, and it sounded a bit fierce: "IAMBATMAN."

"Pfft."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to—" Tony smiled, and glanced at the calm and unmoved Batman himself, "Pff—"

Bruce glared at him coldly.

There was another rustling sound.After the woman left, Bruce was packing up all the criminals and sending them to the gate of the Gotham Police Station.

For about half an hour, no one on the channel spoke.

Both were afraid of disturbing Bruce's decision.

Whether it was Tony or Bruce, they had already made their own decisions the moment they faced this choice.But at the same time, they are also very clear that they are not qualified to choose instead of Brucey-whether Brucey chooses to come back or stay, that is a reasonable thing and should not be blamed for it.

After all, no one can say for sure the future of this world.

The wind sounded on the communication channel and stopped.

"I'm on the roof of the Wayne Building, Bruce." He paused. "Tony."

"It's amazing. I never thought that the prosperous Gotham would have such a down time." He said, "I stayed here for seven days, and I rescued Thomas and Martha on the first night, and there were almost no other nights. rest."

"The pier is the messiest place in Gotham. In this week alone, I've had nineteen robberies, thirteen fights, and seven attempted rapes."

"Even so, the pier is one of the brightest places in Gotham at night."

"Countless small boats lit dim oil lamps, secretly passing illegal materials from other countries, smugglers, and all kinds of people of unknown origin—" Brucey's tone was just a statement.The current situation in Gotham is far more shocking than what he described.

In addition to foreign smuggling and population, there are countless homeless people who have lost everything in Gotham, trying their best to squeeze onto boats to other countries, hoping to find a way out in a foreign country.

This is Gotham right now.

Bruce didn't say more, but Bruce had read the unfinished words.

About Gotham in that world, about Brucey's worries, about the choices he made in the end.

"I want to stay, Bruce." Bruce replied firmly, without flinching or hesitation.And these words, only Bruce, who is Batman, can understand.

"I don't know what I can do for it, or if I can really bring a good future to this Gotham. But, I can learn from scratch."

"I love Gotham."

"From today on, I'm going to be Batman."

Bruce was silent.He lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the complicated and unspeakable emotions in his heart, and did not stop Brucey.As a peer, Brucey's love for Gotham is no different from that of Batman.

As Batman, Bruce can give everything for Gotham, and Bruce... Although the difference in personality between the two is not small, there is not much difference between the two in this respect.

Bruce had no position to stop him.

"……it is good."

He even seemed a little ruthless.

"However, after the communication hangs up, we will not provide you with any further assistance." Batman said, "We will not continue to contact you."

"Brucey, you're on your own."
