The feasibility of working the night shift in Gotham

Dick Grayson aka ex-Robin, now Nightwing, thought it would be a beautiful solo after being separated from Batman, and even wanted to turn on the orchestra mode, but unexpectedly the orchestra mode was going well, but this solo The song is really out of tune.

First, I knew that my former mentor broke up with me and quickly and seamlessly connected with a new Robin. Then I knew that after the accident in Gotham, I called the other party and was ruthlessly rejected. Now it is the former mentor who called directly and only said one sentence for a long time. .

Dick: Keep smiling!

Speaking of the new Robin, Dick had mixed feelings in his heart. On the one hand, he told himself that it had nothing to do with Jason and it was all Bruce's fault. Bruce just randomly found someone to replace him. Existence, the name used, the place occupied, the innocent self.It made Dick feel bad about everything, not just Jason but himself.

Their first meeting was very unpleasant. Although Jason smiled and stretched out his hand to him who was hit, he pushed Jason's hand away with a straight face.In the few meetings since then, he has clearly felt that Jason saw him stiff, not to mention Jason's whole action of ignoring him after he had a big fight with Bruce.

"Oh my God, Dick, look at this." Beast Boy hurriedly pushed open the door.

"What? Gal, you should learn to knock first." Dick said helplessly.

"Never mind that, man. You have to watch this first." Beast Boy put the computer in front of Dick, his face serious. "This video is going crazy on the Internet."

Dick clicked on the play button of the video, and the video mirrored quickly and blurred, apparently someone was secretly recording it.

First of all, the man who took a selfie on the first side of the camera was panting violently and speaking in panic, his hair and clothes were messy, and there was a little blood on his collar.

He opened his mouth nervously, and there were several mosaic objects behind him, "I am at the Emperor Theater in Gotham. If I die, this is the last thing I will leave to the world."

The perspective changes and the front camera changes to the clown holding the blond girl standing in the center, with Superman, Batman, Iron Man, and Captain America standing in a circle around him, because it is a secret recording that only shows half of his body.

Perhaps because of the video transmission, the Joker's voice was a little distorted but he couldn't stop him from grinning. He was talking with Batman while holding something like a switch in one hand.

Although Dick can't hear the clown's Batman's conversation clearly, he can guess the clown's routine, and he can't escape the clown's favorite choice game that embodies human nature.

"Let her go." A figure sprang from behind Batman, and he raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and walked forward slowly, "I'm Robin." "I'll be your hostage!"

Dick was extremely nervous, until he watched the clown punch Jason in the face and grabbed his neck hard, and saw Jason let out a breathless whoosh.Dick finally couldn't help kicking the chair next to the bed with one corner of the Beast Boy's horrified eyes. He scolded Jason in his heart for being reckless and sighed secretly for his courage. He couldn't help but watch the follow-up. Even the man who recorded the video was surprised Whispering prayers like oh no!

The body of the clown who wanted to press the button in the chaos suddenly froze in the air for some reason. Robin who was thrown on the ground quickly got up, and saw him kick the remote control in the clown's hand with a violent kick. The next moment his fist He hit the clown hard in the face, followed by a series of audio coding sounds that everyone could hear clearly, until Batman pulled him forward, the front end of Robin's green combat glove was crushed dyed red.

Robin, who was pulled up by Batman, wiped the blood under his nose and poohed on the Joker.

"Go away!" Batman held him in his arms and tried to kick the clown in the face.

Dick swears by his 60 eyesight that he could see that from the first sentence of Robin's scolding, the shaking camera flashed across Iron Man's gleeful expression and Captain America's already dull face.

Dick, who only interacted briefly with Jason: Ah, is that how he talks? !

The Beast Boy who rushed only to see Robin being grabbed by the neck by the clown:

Back to the topic, Dick, who was originally in the Titan Tower, suddenly received a call from Bruce asking him to go back to Gotham.Originally, Dick didn't plan to go back, but he changed his mind and thought that even if there was a conflict between them, it should be important for Bruce to call himself.

After saying goodbye to several Titan teammates, not long after Dick arrived at Gotham's apartment, he heard a knock on the door.

Dick opened the door, and outside was Jason in his Gotham High school uniform. The boy nodded to him with his arms around his chest.

"Hey." Dick said, he made room for Jason to come in and saw the boy sitting on the sofa in silence, Dick tried to create some atmosphere, he opened the refrigerator that had been unoccupied for several months and was still full of beautiful things.

Dick puts his hands together: Thanks Bruce!

Bruce: I think it's my money you want to thank, right?

Jason took the canned drink that Dick handed him, and finally said, "Craft beer?"

"First of all, minors should not drink alcohol, and secondly, Bruce will not put these things." Dick opened the pull ring for Jason and handed it to him, "Apple juice."

The boy muttered something and took the juice. Based on the very elegant speech in the video, Dick guessed that this sentence was probably also very elegant.Dick shrugged, pretending he didn't hear anything anyway.

"Tell me, why did he ask you to come?"

"Bruce asked me to turn it over to you. Someone named Robin at the police station." Jason took out an envelope from his schoolbag and pushed it in front of Dick, "The man who killed your parents, Tony Zuko, is still killing the people in the circus." staff."

"Tony Zuko is dead!" Dick turned over the photo and couldn't bear to look directly at the tragic scene on it. "Bruce and I sent him in with our own hands, and the modus operandi is more like the Maroni family's modus operandi."

"Maybe he came back from the dead and blamed Romani, dude." He might not have thought about it before, but why is he still staying with Death every day now?" gcpd was at the scene Found other evidence, enough to charge this man with circus death sacrifices or something."

Jason picked up his schoolbag and stood up. He glanced at his watch and he had to leave in half an hour before the speech.

"By the way, remember to go back at night. Bruce wants to see you."

---

Dick fell headfirst in front of the computer, no matter how much he investigated or even sneaked into the security net of gcpd, the only answer he got was that Tony Zuko died a long time ago, one month after he was imprisoned, he was showing off in his playground When he was stabbed with a sharpened toothbrush, he was stabbed in the stomach and died of massive bleeding. Within six months after that, all his family members were also found dead at home, which caused a sensation at the time.Everyone knows who Tony Zuko worked for and who killed him.

Dick couldn't figure it out. The murderer made the situation look like a dead ghost had returned to the world to take revenge on him. Thinking of Jason's words, he took out his cell phone and sent a message to the Raven in San Francisco.

Dick didn't notice, or he couldn't notice at all now, when he knocked his head on the table, there were a bunch of men and women floating outside his window.

The leader is obviously a couple, they wear green chests with a big g written on their chests, and at the end of the line is a black-haired god of death who is tied with a chain and has his eyes empty.

"Ann!" Mary dragged me along the iron chain and introduced me excitedly, "Look! Isn't my son very handsome!"

My dead fish eyes: His face is flat against the table, how can I see it!

I suddenly found Hua Dian: but the butt seems to be very upturned!

"Quick! Ann! He's asleep!" John grabbed my other arm and said to his companion behind him, "It's almost ready!"

Dick is dreaming, he knows he is dreaming, the expression seems confusing, but his subconscious mind has never been so clear, everything around him seems to be happening in reality, even when he reaches out and touches the ground. feedback.

"Go forward." The ethereal female voice echoed in his ears.

"Who!" Dick reflexively made a fighting posture and looked around.

"Go forward." The voice was still talking, as if guiding him forward, a pair of invisible but felt female hands suddenly grabbed his hand and dragged him forward.

"Who are you?" He couldn't help asking.

It's actually Anyang: Didn't I tell you to go away!Why don't you leave!Forget it, I will do it myself!

The unknown force seemed to have no intention of hurting him. Dick, who realized this, followed the opponent's strength and continued to move forward. Just when he wanted to ask another question, the opponent stopped.

"arrive."

"What? Where?"

Dick couldn't ask the rest of the question, he stared at the building in disbelief, the red and white circus - the place that held his happiest childhood also held his worst nightmare.

"Harry's Circus." Dick slowly said the name of the building, and the next moment he appeared in the circus.

"Dick, good boy!" A pair of big hands lifted him up as a teenager, and the man stepped on the big ball and threw him up.

"I got you, kid." The man with clown makeup caught him and hugged him and twirled in the air. The man put him in front of the curtain, "Go!" The women in costumes pulled him away The curtain pushed him in.

The polite host on stage shouted to the audience, "Ladies! Gentlemen! Next show!"

"Flying Grayson, please!"

The scene in front of him changed, Dick stood on the high platform and looked down, he made thousands of actions but he hesitated.

"What's the matter, son?" A strong hand rested on his back, and the man comforted him, "Daddy is here."

"I'm afraid. I'm afraid that jumping is a mistake." Dick still hesitates. "When I'm afraid to jump, you leave me. I'm afraid that when I jump, you'll disappear from me again." In front of you."

"Listen son." The man put his arms around his shoulders, "If there is one thing that can last forever in this world - it is the love that Mary and I have for you. I will never forget the feeling when I hugged you as a newborn, Small and soft and heavy, you made me realize that I am a father. We are sorry to make you witness the most unfortunate things, but you have to remember that this has nothing to do with you, you have no need to feel guilty, Bruce Wayne A good man who raised you for us, you are wonderful! You have to remember the child, all you have to do is move forward! Take great strides!"

"Look, mom is waiting for you too." The man supported his head to make him look to the other side, and the woman on the other side of the high platform smiled and waved to them.

"So dance, Dick!"

"Fly, Grayson!"

"Catch you! My little bird!"

He fell into his mother's arms, and this belated embrace was so warm.

---

The perspective changes again, and the circus transforms into the corridor of a luxurious restaurant.

Returning to his normal body, Dick covered his head and looked around, and then glanced at the suit on his body, so he asked, "What's going on?"

"Hurry up, son! People are waiting for you!" The woman in the skirt grabbed his hand, and her high-heeled shoes kicked the ground quickly.

"Mom!" Dick couldn't understand what he said, "So was he dreaming just now or is he dreaming now? Wait, is that man's father in front?"

"I've been dreaming all the time." The man standing at the door wearing a servant's clothes said, his face was full of how I gave birth to such a stupid son.

Dick:? ? ?How about leaving this Inception with me?

"Hurry up, remember to behave well and don't behave like usual, you will lose your mother's face in front of your colleagues." Mary pushed Dick into the door and slammed it shut, then quietly opened a little gap to explore After waving his head at the two people in the room, he closed it in satisfaction.

I looked at the man who was pushed in by Mary with a mask on his face, I raised my hand stiffly and waved it, and choked out a sentence for a while.

"Have you eaten yet?"
