How to start Meursault

1.

"... But my mother said, I will only have a younger brother, not an older brother."

Dick felt his heart melt when he saw the little one so much shorter than him looking up at him innocently.

Although Xiaojing looked a bit scary standing in a pool of blood the night he found him, isn't he still a very normal child under the healthy and warm sunshine?

"Usually, but Robin is magical. So I could be your brother." Dick picked up his new baby brother.

Xiao Jing nodded thoughtfully.

"Does Bruce have magic too?" He diverted his attention to the victim he had accidentally knocked down.

Xiao Jing is really sorry for using his power on Batman when he was frightened, but it's not his fault that a ten-year-old kid can be scared by a big black bat that is almost two meters high, right?

"Bruce didn't." Dick poked his little brother's cheek with his finger, "so we have to protect him who has magic."

——That's right, this is what Robin said to Xiao Jing who was extremely panicked. Xiao Jing used the 'Sleeping Beauty' magic on Batman, so Batman fell asleep.

Xiao Jing lowered his head and thought for a while.

"Brother." Then he said it again in a very small voice, and at the same time his face turned red.

Since Dick kept poking Xiao Jing in the face to make him call again, from then on Xiao Jing would only call Dick's name, even 'Richard' when she was angry.

Xiao Jing hopes that he can have a younger brother, so that he can get rid of the bad brother who likes to poke his face.

"This is impossible!"

Jason looked at the boy about his height in pajamas and yelled dissatisfied in front of Bruce.

Why, rich kids aren't used to having street bum brothers?

Bruce touched the boy's head and said, "Jason is older than you and respectful, so he is your brother."

What?

The boy looked almost distraught.

"But Jieta is shorter than me! I should be the older brother!"

Not necessarily.Jason thought about it, but his mood improved a lot in an instant.

It turns out that Hejian—Jason's brother likes to be called that—is a very normal brother, at most he was raised a little naive by Bruce.

He Jianhui will do homework, read books, and play games with Jason.

"Why aren't you Robin?"

One day after he started being trained by Bruce, Jason asked He Jian, who was sitting on the death star model on the ground.

He hasn't met Dick yet, but he knows Dick is the original Robin, now Nightwing, who's falling out with Bruce and running away to work as a vigilante in Bludhaven.

He Jian came to this house earlier than him, why didn't Bruce let He Jian take over Robin's uniform?

"Because I'm not suitable to be a vigilante?" He Jian replied with a half-frowned brow, "Anyway, Uncle Clark said that Bruce just likes to hoard orphans a little bit, and he doesn't want to build child soldiers."

Jason wished he could be Robin, but if He Jian wasn't interested in it, he wouldn't be incomprehensible.

After a while he hesitated and then asked, "Do you think... Dick will be mad at Bruce for me?"

"Yes." He Jian replied without hesitation, "Robin is the name given to him by Dick's mother, and Bruce will definitely make him super angry by giving you this name without authorization. But——"

"But what?"

"Only for Robin. Dick likes the little brother." He Jian spread his hands, "He's like an octopus monster who only fell for the hug pollen. After he accepts that it's all Bruce's bastard mistake, he will Good for you."

Jason didn't dare to believe He Jian's words too much, but he turned his attention to the little dirty word He Jian used.

"You don't know how to curse?"

The answer he was expecting was at least Bruce and Alfred not to let him speak, but He Jian scratched his hair a little embarrassedly.

"No one taught me, can you teach me?"

Jason taught He Jian how people on the streets of Gotham speak, and also taught He Jian how to live on the streets.His brother does not discriminate against any kind of skill.

Tim and He Jian knew each other long before they became brothers - they were classmates in the same class.

Seriously, because He Jian didn't become Robin, it also made Tim wonder for a while if he had mistaken his identity as Batman.

Seeing him at school is too normal to attract the attention of others like his two brothers, which is a bit like Tim deliberately shrinking his presence in order to play truant.

Out of some flimsy expectation, Tim and Hejian were teamed together on a group assignment, and they've been a team ever since.

Then... the Ethiopian incident.

Batman is almost out of control, He Jian takes a long break from school, and Dick stays in Bludhaven.

Tim finally decides after a few months that if no one wants to stop Batman, then it's up to him to stop.

Tim succeeded.

A lot has happened since then.Janet is dead and Jack is disabled.Jack remarried.Jack finds out he's Robin and asks him to quit.Jack is dead. (Stephanie also died.)

Tim became a human being.or--

"Are you sure Bruce will adopt me?"

Not that Tim wants to question that, but as far as he knows, Bruce didn't adopt any of Dick, Holly, or Jason, and he has Drake Industries behind him, and if Bruce did that, the papers would say It's ugly.

He Jian tried to use his ability for treatment on the experimental rat again, and he replied without raising his head: "You are mistaken, Tim. Dick is not legally allowed to adopt Dick before he is an adult, Jack Sen's piece of paper is locked in Bruce's somewhere."

He Jian paused, and then said: "I'd love to be called Uncle Bruce, but father, forget it, Eliza will be angry. As long as you want, Bruce will definitely solve this matter as quickly as possible, he The legal team is not raised for nothing. There is only one thing, we should remain friends, okay?"

Before Tim could generate a lot of not-so-optimistic speculation about the request, Dick happened to come over from the other side - he had a broken leg and was recently recuperating at the estate.

"Timmy, do you know why Xiao Jing said that?" Dick held a cup of hot chocolate with a malicious smile on his face.

Tim had the good fortune to watch his normally unflappable classmate suddenly turn red and try to cover Dick's mouth.

"why?"

"Because your birthday is half a month earlier than his! And Xiao Jing has always wanted a younger brother!"

4.

Cassandra thought He Jian was a bit strange, but because she was still learning to speak, she couldn't express her accurate feelings.

Later she thought it was 'quiet'.

It would be easier for Cassandra to fall asleep if she stayed close to He Jian, because He Jian had almost no negative emotions on her body.

Little brother always seems to be very happy.

— except at parties.

Bruce adopted Cassandra in a legal sense, and Cassandra attended several banquets in order to let Gotham know of her existence.

She can't say she likes the atmosphere, she sneaks away sometimes, not when she can watch Bruce's jokes.

Today, she was hiding in a blind spot of most people's sight, thinking about whether to run away early.

"Actually, today's dessert is quite good." The little brother suddenly appeared on her left—He Jian is the family's best at finding her.

Cassandra silently glanced at He Jian, then looked at the center of the banquet.

"Tim and Bruce will be fine, and it's okay if you want to go first."

Kashan took another look at He Jian, but because she read something wrong from her little brother's body language.

She said to He Jian in sign language, "Are you okay?"

"good."

--lie.Breathing becomes difficult and heartbeat changes.His face turned red.

Kashan felt that the little brother seemed to be poisoned.

Without too much hesitation, she jumped off the beam and punched the opponent in the stomach to help induce vomiting. The commotion made Bruce look over.

It turned out that the little brother was so allergic to a certain trace of pollen in the honey he ate for dessert that he almost suffocated at the banquet.

——Perhaps because he usually dies too much, so he is a little insensitive.

"Stupid. Little brother." Cassandra sat on the edge of Hejian's hospital bed and poked him in the head.

"I will definitely pay attention next time." The little brother looked at her pitifully.

can not happen next time.

Cassandra took a moment to train him and sharpen him. (The training itself can be a bit brutal)

Damian had read about all the stray dogs his father had taken in.

He Jianjingren is one of the existences that makes it difficult for him to locate.

This man isn't involved in policing Gotham City, nor is he as deeply involved in running his father's company as Drake is, but He Jian is the only one with superpowers.

Damian couldn't figure out why his father took him in at first, but later he thought it might be because He Jian could barely be regarded as a doctor.

Maybe He Jian can be cultivated into his Pennyworth - Damian thought so before going to Gotham.

After moving into Wayne Manor and announcing to everyone that he would inherit everything from his father, Damian found that there was still a huge gap between the information and the reality.

Richard's skills are still impressive.Drake is more annoying (but smart) than he thinks.Todd and his mother actually kept in touch, but it was too emotional to break it.

Father...he had to admit it let him down at times, but mostly opened up his horizons a lot.Pennyworth has respectable loyalty (is the new grandfather).

And He Jian——

Damian didn't expect that he would be welcomed so strongly by the other party.

In order to prove that he is the only heir to his father, he has played more than one game with everyone from Richard, including Hejian.

Damian's skill and experience outmatched the opponent.

During this exchange, He Jian was wounded several times by him, not to mention more times to train his habit of non-lethal force.

But He Jian seemed to have no objection to this, and his conniving attitude towards Damian was outrageous.

After Damian started collecting animals on the estate, he also had to deal with someone secretly petting his pets from time to time - Alfred almost betrayed!

Finally one day, when he was monitoring Drake, he heard the answer.

"You went too far with him," Drake said.

"Not to the point." The tone was firm.

"...I know you've always wanted a little brother, but it's too... Bruce thinks it's a bit inappropriate."

"Not only because Damian is my little brother, but because he's a cute little brother! Bruce is just jealous."

"...Your filter is useless."

See you!

Bruce had tried, really tried, to create a bond outside of the Wayne family.

But he gave up after Jason died.

He didn't really want to think about finding out after a terrible week that a panicked Alfred had sent him to the kid's bedroom, and then seeing Hejian sleeping on his blood-soaked bed with his eyes open and a knife in his hand.

'I want to see Jay. 'He Jian said so to him the night before.

Bruce didn't have the energy to comfort him.Then He Jian decided to use his own method to meet Jason.

At that time, although Bruce knew that He Jian could be resurrected, he was not sure that He Jian would choose to be resurrected.

Two days later, He Jian woke up from the changed sheets as if nothing had happened.Before Bruce could ask anything, he discovered that He Jian didn't remember all the memories from that night.

Later he learned from Elisa that this was the result of He Jian's ability to lose control.

Since then, he has stopped trying to push the child out.

Now, when he saw Damian angrily chasing He Jian all over the manor, Bruce felt that he probably didn't make a wrong decision.
