"In my eyes? You are just an ordinary white male magician with high talent, a heavy smoking habit and a bit of a scumbag love life," Matthew said. Physiology son, I don't want to have anything to do with you."

"However, fate made us father and son in name."

"Yes……"

"You have a problem with this fate, don't you?"

John Constantine tried to test Matthew by insinuating.

Matthew shook his head, then nodded again, and said, "Like all living beings with self-awareness, I have a lot of opinions on fate, but I don't really mind being your biological son."

"why?"

"Any creature born in the world must have a physiological father or mother or both. I am not arranged to be your biological son, but I will also be arranged to be someone else's biological son, as opposed to becoming someone else's biological son. Son, being your biological son is actually a very ideal state, there is no need to feel bad about it."

"You actually think it's ideal to be my biological son?"

John Constantine was a little surprised.

As the No.1 scumbag in the magic world, he has long been used to being slapped and scolded heart-piercingly by his predecessors, because the number of ex-teammates who teamed up with him and saw death in advance can even be made up. A large cemetery.

He who is not even capable of being a lover or a teammate, is there still a time when he is considered to be in an ideal state?

"I'm not kidding, I really think it would be ideal to be your biological son."

Matthew slowly explained: "You have a strong talent for magic, so no matter how different I am in the field of magic, it will not cause ordinary people to doubt my identity;

You are the number one scumbag in the Super League. As your son, I don’t have any moral baggage. When I am kidnapped by others morally, I can use you as a reason to refuse; the last and most important point, no one will doubt my birth It has nothing to do with you, because your relationship history is too rotten and stinky. "

"It turns out that me being a rotten person has so many benefits for you."

After listening to Matthew's analysis, Constantine couldn't laugh or cry, flicked the cigarette ash, and added: "Because I'm a bad person, you never have to worry about being asked how father and son get along, which is also a good thing."

"you are right."

Matthew added Constantine's "suggestion" to the reason list: "Almost no one cares whether you and I are father and son. After all, normal people will not get involved with you for no reason and let you be their father."

"I regret that."

"It's okay, I don't care."

While talking, Matthew got up, made himself a bowl of salad in Constantine's kitchen, and baked two small breads and a steak: "Are you hungry?"

"Of course I... wait a minute!"

Constantine struggled to stand up and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

"All living things need to eat."

"But you are not human at all, and you want to eat human food?"

Constantine looked at Matthew with dissatisfaction: "You are only a creature in a broad sense."

Food getting into your body is a total waste!

"Living in the human world, you have to behave like a human in every way, don't you?"

Using kitchen scissors to cut the grilled steak that was sizzling with grease, Matthew smiled and said: "Besides, when I officially realized that I can be a non-human, I have already lived as a human." In the past 20 years, I have developed the habit of eating like a human being, even though my tongue can hardly taste the food. Of course, I have reshaped my body several times since then, and now I can enjoy food like a gourmet.”

"But--"

"Do you want to try it? My grilled steak is Michelin three-star."

"really?"

Konstantin became interested, forked a piece of beef with blood on the cut surface, put it in his mouth, and bit it lightly, the mellow fat and the deliciousness of the beef immediately filled his mouth: "Matthew, your cooking skills are really as good as yours!" Words are top notch."

"Because I have the most critical lover." Matthew said proudly.

When Constantine heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, then recovered, and echoed, "He is indeed the most picky lover."

"But we fell in love and are very happy with each other up to now."

Matthew flipped the beef strips into a small bowl, sprinkled with black pepper and other condiments, and sandwiched them into the burger with a layer of vegetable salad: "Would you like to try it?"

"Thank you."

Constantine took the burger, tasted it, and asked, "What the hell are you?"

"I don't know, but it's obviously not human."

Matthew took a sip of milk and asked Constantine, "How much do you know about Gotham?"

"Gotham?"

Constantine choked, and slowly replied: "I don't like Gotham."

"I don't like either..." Matthew said, "but I have things that I have to go to Gotham to fix."

"Batman? Joker? Scarecrow? Two-Face? Or Penguin?"

Constantine casually reported a large list of Gotham celebrities, and then added: "I don't think they have the capital to make you have to go to Gotham, even if it's Batman."

"They really don't have the capital to force me to go to Gotham, but—"

Matthew put down the milk glass: "I was born in Gotham. To be precise, I have lived in Gotham in human form for nearly 20 years. I need to return to Gotham to find out who I am."

"You are--"

"I'm not human, but I don't know who I am either."

Having said that, Matthew let out a long sigh and spread his hands.

A black ball emerged from the palm, which was the mimic image of Boer brought back by Matthew in the gap between the world and hell.

"He is Boll, my friend. I was swallowed by the original darkness for me. Although I succeeded in swallowing the original darkness in the end, I couldn't bring him back."

"What do you want to say?"

"I want to know who I am. Maybe, when I know myself enough, I will be able to bring back all my lost friends... including yours..."

"Are you tempting me?"

Constantine looked at Matthew quietly.

Matthew shook his head and said, "Although my body is made up of demons, I never tempt humans like demons tempt goodness."

"But what you just said is the only thing I can't refuse in this world..."

Constantine sighed and said, "I have always wanted to change the past, and to save all the friends who have become unfortunate in their lives because of my encounter, even if it is impossible."

"Yet you ended up being a real scum magician."

"Yes, I'm a scumbag magician, I...I...I want to change all of this...At least let the dead return to me...If it's possible..."

The more Constantine talked, the more uncomfortable he became.

He is a scumbag, but he is also a passionate scumbag.

Matthew knew this well, so he didn't interrupt Constantine's emotion, and looked at him calmly until he calmed down, and asked Matthew, "When are we going to leave?"

"You can leave at any time, of course, not now."

Later, Matthew borrowed a magic communication crystal ball from Constantine: "Hey, Zatana, what's the situation in New York now?"

"Everything is still...John!"

Seeing that her ex-boyfriend, who had only half-life left when she left, was standing in front of the crystal ball like a conventional romantic scum, Zatana burst into tears of joy: "You recovered so quickly?!"

"You can always trust Matthew, my perfect son."

Constantine glanced at Matthew meaningfully.

Matthew smiled and asked Zatanna directly: "Is New York okay now?"

"The undead who were accidentally resurrected have been cleaned up in sevens and eights, and the rest are all useless waste..." Zatanna said, "Wanda and Doom asked me to ask you, when are you going to honor their promises?" agreement?"

"Promise? What contract?" Matthew asked knowingly.

Zatanna: "A promise about Mephisto, Faust's sworn enemy."

"It can be fulfilled at any time..." Matthew said, "after I return from Gotham."

"You're going to Gotham?"

Zatana showed surprise: "That's a place without laws at all!"

"Yes, there is no law in Gotham..." Matthew said, "but I still have to go to Gotham because there is one thing that is very important to me."

"what?"

"secret."

Matthew raised his middle finger in a hissing gesture.

Zatanna: "Be careful with everything."

Matthew smiled and said, "With my father by my side, there shouldn't be any trouble."

"Uh..." John Constantine showed a reluctant expression.

Zatanna's face was full of disbelief: "You actually planned to let him go to Gotham with you! No! John, you actually planned to enter Gotham with Matthew! You are not afraid of your enemies in Gotham... "

"I think they will be more scared if they can receive the news in advance." Constantine said with a smile.

Zatana subconsciously helped her forehead: "Okay, I wish you good luck. I'm going to clean up the next target."

"Goodbye, Zatana." Matthew said politely.

"goodbye……"

Before the words were finished, Zatanna's image disappeared from the magic communication crystal ball.

Matthew complained to Constantine with a little helplessness: "Zatana seems to have a problem with us?"

"Because she always remembers that I'm a scumbag, but she never forgets my old love. As for you—"

John Constantine gave a smirk: "Do you think she would like non-human creatures?"

"If I were a cute kitten, she would like it."

Talking nonchalantly, Matthew contacted Batman via magic communication: "Hey, Bruce—"

"Matthew?"

Suddenly receiving a communication from Matthew, Bruce Wayne showed a surprised expression.

When he saw Matthew standing with John Constantine, his surprise suddenly turned into shock: "You...you..."

"My father was in trouble and Zatanna told me to come to London and help him."

Matthew said frankly: "Now, John Constantine's troubles have been resolved. In return, he will accompany me to Gotham to do some business."

"Uh……"

Batman grimaced.

John Constantine is a trustworthy magician, and Matthew is also a trustworthy ally, but when the two of them stand together, what Bruce Wayne thinks of in an instant is "the troublesome power".

"Not welcome?"

Matthew knowingly asked: "Our arrival won't make Gotham's nights peaceful and beautiful, but it certainly won't be worse."

"you sure?"

Batman gritted his teeth.

Matthew: "Yeah, John and I are pretty sure."

"Well, I'll let Harley and Damian pick you up in London, if you don't want to use magic to reach Gotham directly." Batman said reluctantly.

Matthew: "Thank you for your kindness, but now that the whole world is advocating green environmental protection, I think we should use the magic passage to reach the suburbs of Gotham directly, and then make a car to Wayne Manor."

"Okay, send a message to Alfred when you arrive in the suburbs of Gotham, and he will send a car to the suburbs to pick you up."

After the explanation, Batman immediately ended the call with the two Constantines, turned around, and said to Damian who was chasing and fighting with Superman's Jonathan around the super-large dinosaur: "Matthew and John are coming to the Batcave."

"Matthew? John?"

Hearing this, the teenagers stopped fighting.

Jonathan Kent, who was sitting on top of the dinosaur, was even more confused: "Who are they?"

"They are members of the Constantine family, Master Jonathan."

Alfred, the almighty butler who walked into the Batcave with afternoon tea snacks, poured hot chocolate milk tea for the two teenagers while explaining the Constantine family, John Constantine and Matthew Fast Constant to Jonathan Man.

"Oh! So it's them! I heard their names mentioned by my father!"

After listening to Alfred's introduction, Jonathan nodded repeatedly while holding a hot chocolate milk tea covered with a layer of marshmallows.

Damian then complained to him: "You are the son of Superman, why do you like eating sweets so much?"

"Sugar can provide energy to the body and make people feel happy. My favorite is the hot chocolate milk tea prepared by Grandpa Alfred."

Jonathan smiled happily, and stared at the stinky Damian with cute big eyes: "Don't you also like sweets? Why do you suddenly mind that I like sweets?"

"Because...forget it! I won't talk to you idiot! You won't understand it!"

Damian angrily slid down the dinosaur's tail to the ground, clasped his fists on his chest, and shouted at Batman: "Are you going to let me receive them all the time?"

"You don't want to be in charge of the reception?"

"No, I'm just... just..."

Damian turned his head: "I just want to make sure! I thought you forgot that I could actually be alone."

"Come on, you've only been weaned for a few days and you dare to boast that you can be your own?"

The figure of Grayson Dick suddenly appeared in the Batcave, and landed firmly between Batman and Damian. By the way, he raised his hand to say hello to Jonathan who was sitting on the head of the dinosaur: "Hey, little Jonathan——"

"Brother Dick—"

Jonathan accepted the greeting with a smile, and flew to Ye Yi with a hot chocolate milk tea in his hand: "Grandpa Alfred made sea salt cranberry cookies today, they are very delicious."

"Yes, I'm tasting."

Holding the cookie in his hand, Ye Yi smiled at the almighty butler: "Alfred's cookies are indeed the best in the world."

"Pennyworth's biscuits are really good."

Damian grabbed the biscuit and threw it into his mouth, chewing and glaring at Nightwing: "Did you come to the Batcave for something?"

"Bruce needs me."

Ye Yi walked up to Batman as a matter of course, and glanced at the communication record interface that had not been closed: "Both Constantines are coming to Gotham?"

"Yes."

"Isn't Gotham...well, given Gotham's situation, even two Constantines can't make it worse." Nightwing muttered helplessly, "We need to tell Gordon and Barbara?"

"Of course, they must be told in advance."

Batman reached out and pinned Damian's head, who was trying to get between him and Nightwing: "Damian, you and Harry will drive to the suburbs to pick them up later."

"why?"

"They used a magic passage to get to the outskirts of Gotham and needed—"

"I'd be more than happy to drive to the suburbs to pick up the Constantines to the Batcave, I just don't understand why I have to do it with Harley!"

The eldest Damian looked at his father and elder brother unhappily: "I'm already an adult, at least psychologically!"

"You don't have a driver's license."

Ye Yi reminded helplessly: "You haven't reached the minimum age to get a driver's license."

"I can go with Jonathan, he is my exclusive car! The one that doesn't require a driver's license!" Damian shouted confidently.

Jonathan, whose cheeks were bulging from eating, heard Damian calling and flew to Batman's side as soon as possible, and patted his chest to assure: "I often patrol the sky over the metropolis with Damian on my back, and our cooperation is very tacit."

"Damian! How dare you—"

Batman's voice rose an octave.

Seeing this, Damian pulled Jonathan and ran out: "They should be here soon, Jonathan, let's go to the scene immediately!"

"But I haven't eaten my biscuits yet..."

Jonathan looked at the biscuits and marshmallows on the table aggrievedly.

Seeing this, the considerate Alfred smiled and said, "The kitchen always reserves enough biscuits, marshmallows and chocolate milk tea for Master Jonathan."

"Thank you, Alfred—"

After the words fell, the Son of Superman had already carried Damian to the suburbs of Gotham.

Ye Yi scratched the back of his head speechlessly: "Bruce, do they know exactly where they are going?"

"In fact, Constantine and his son haven't set off from London yet." Batman replied dully.

Ye Yi: "Okay..."

……

After dragging Jonathan around the downtown area of ​​Gotham for more than an hour, Damian finally remembered the business, and said to Jonathan, who was so full of food that he looked like a little hamster: "Help me listen, is there any abnormal sound in the suburbs of Gotham? ?”

"Damian, why don't you just ask your father for the address where Constantine and his son landed in the suburbs of Gotham?"

Jonathan looked at Damian in disbelief.

Damian: "Because he wants me and Harley to act together."

"Harry isn't..."

"I don't like Harley, she's a nasty woman, she wants to be my mum!"

Damian reached out and grabbed a handful of butter-flavored popcorn from the popcorn bucket in Jonathan's arms: "I know I have no right to forbid Bruce from dating women other than my mother. After all, my mother has many, many men besides Bruce. But I can't accept Harley, that crazy woman, hanging around Bruce!"

"Uncle Wayne and Ms. Halle should only be adults..."

"I know, but just thinking about Harry trying to get close to Bruce makes me feel really bad!"

Damian looked at Jonathan complainingly: "It would be great if your dad became my dad, I mean I don't mind having two dads."

"I know what you mean, we will always be best friends, blood brothers without blood relationship."

Jonathan turned his head and kissed Damian on the face. Immediately afterwards, his super-hearing ears trembled slightly: "There are abnormal fluctuations in the suburbs!"

"Take me there immediately!"

……

puff--

After the smoke and dust, Matthew and Constantine appear in the suburbs of Gotham.

Looking at the surrounding buildings full of post-modern style compatible with cyber wasteland style, Constantine couldn't help complaining: "It's Gotham, a rotten city."

"And it rains almost every day in this city, more London than London."

While speaking, Constantine picked up the umbrella under his arm: "Of course, as a standard British gentleman, I carry an umbrella with me."

"Is it? The weather isn't—"

Before the words were finished, there was a dark cloud over the city of Gotham not far away, the rain was pattering, and even the suburbs became gloomy and depressing.

"Sure enough, it's Gotham where it's always raining."

Tucao, Matthew also opened the umbrella.

The two Constantines were sitting on a roadside bench, holding umbrellas, and talking cold jokes.

"We shouldn't have to wait too long."

"why?"

"Because this is Gotham, he'll find us soon."

"So you didn't send him our coordinates beforehand?"

"I thought you had more secure connections as a non-staff member of the Justice League."

"It turns out that there is no, or that Batman doesn't want to contact me."

"Because although you have a predecessor who was the number one magician in the Justice League, you yourself are just a non-staff magician in the Justice League, and you also have a team-mate destroying aura."

"Your situation is similar to mine, you are the son of darkness who will bring disasters wherever you go!"

……

Just as the two Constantines revealed their secrets to each other, the air oppressed by the rain suddenly brightened.

Matthew looked up and saw a boy in a blue and red Superman suit flying in the sky, with a boy in a green Robin suit with one hand holding an umbrella on his back.

"Damian? Jonathan? That's the name, right?"

Matthew was a little unsure.

Damian, who doesn't have super hearing but also has super hearing, heard Matthew's muttering, and quickly said to Jonathan: "Look over there! Matthew and the others are over there!"

"okay!"

Jonathan flew in front of Matthew and the two in the direction of Damian's finger.

After landing, Jonathan politely asked Matthew: "You are—"

"He's Matthew, and this smoke-smelling guy next to him is—"

"John Constantine."

John Constantine was speechless, and mentioned Damian with a stinky face: "Don't think your father is Batman, and this is the suburbs of Gotham, so I dare not beat you!"
