Thea found that Mr. Driver's tone of voice was not too fluctuating when he spoke. With his exceptionally low voice, coupled with a little humor that popped up from time to time, it sounded special and sexy.

"Of course it's not superfluous." The little girl also put away her gun and smiled very cutely, "At least—it's nice to meet you, John?"

The man shrugged, raised his eyebrows and asked her, "You should be able to handle the rest?"

The little prince of Gotham raised his mobile phone: "I have already called the police."

The man nodded, his eyes stayed on him for a moment, and soon returned to the little girl.

"I guess, if I ask you how you know, you won't tell me, so I won't ask." The brown-haired girl waved at him, "Thank you for me, my friend. I hope there will be more A chance to meet again?"

She has never been able to get to the bottom of it—of course, she is self-aware, and even if she really does investigate, she will probably find nothing.But... a knight who has always been thoughtful and strategized will probably get busy soon, and investigate all possible threats to the bottom of the sky, right?

"Although meeting again may not be a good thing for you, but..." The man's tone was still flat, but there was a hint of a pleasant smile in his tone, and he turned away while talking, "See you next time, little princess."

The driver quickly walked away, and the two remaining people stood there, staring at the car that was riddled with holes for a while, and then looked at each other.

"Maybe it's not suitable to drive out today." Baby Bruce said calmly, "It's not suitable for driving either."

If there is an almanac, it should probably say "Don't travel by car" today, right?Thea looked at it for a while with some headaches, thought for a while, then raised her head to look at the man beside her: "It seems that there is only one way."

Bruce nodded expressionlessly.

Half an hour later, Bruce got into his car with Thea under the disgusted and defensive eyes of the young master Quinn who came to pick up his sister.

……

The previous failed kidnapping made Moira really frightened for a long time, and she insisted on arranging some bodyguards for Thea——Thea had a hard time convincing her mother that New York City was not as chaotic as Star City , It is not convenient to bring bodyguards to school by yourself, but I still promised that once my mother returns to Star City, there must be bodyguards with her.

As for the driver, Mr. John, who only worked for one day—my mother quickly forgot about the other party's sudden resignation after frowning.

Life seems to be back on track again.

——Thea thought so, but Batman standing at the door of the clinic obviously didn't think so.

This was the third time he stood at the door of the clinic with a "gift", and this was the first time he hesitated whether he should knock on the door of the clinic.

He remembered the appearance of the doctor girl lying on his arm and looking at him through the mist not long ago, and the look on her face when she said, "No matter what the truth is, tell me, can you?" He even remembered that, The doctor girl seems to always have a gentle and sweet smile.

He did bring the truth she wanted, and he thought he understood why others were reluctant to tell her—because the truth might soon destroy the warm smile on her face that everyone felt.

That's her protection.

Just like at this moment, he couldn't help but start thinking, let these so-called truths be sealed forever.

But... the doctor girl's words "Only you" that day seemed to ring in his ears again.

The knight of Gotham stood silently for a while in the night breeze at the entrance of the clinic, and finally knocked on the door.

"This is what you want." Batman handed the file bag in his hand to the doctor girl on the opposite side. Seeing that she didn't open it after taking it, he obviously planned to read it when he was alone. He was silent for a moment, which was rare. He took the initiative to open his mouth again, "You can open it now."

The doctor girl gave him a surprised look, and then the smile on her face gradually faded: "It sounds——this is serious, I need some psychological preparation?"

Even though she said so, she still opened the file bag as she said.

The originally healthy blood on her face faded little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye. When she looked up after reading all the content, her face was already pale and all blood had disappeared.

"No wonder Tony refuses to tell me," she tried to maintain a smile on her face, but it was obviously too difficult a task, she tried her best to hook the corners of her mouth, and finally gave up this somewhat reluctant idea, hanging down He rolled his eyes, "Thank you for being willing to tell me."

"Although...it's not pleasant at all," the doctor girl paused and said softly, "but I'd rather see the truth."

The knight lowered his head and looked at her quietly.

"You don't mind if I give this information to Green Arrow?" The doctor girl finally raised her head again and asked him calmly.

Batman nodded.

"As for... this," she said, unconsciously clutching one of the pages, closing her eyes, her voice trembling slightly, but she continued slowly, "I want to go to the end by myself. Just to make sure. It's not that I don't believe you, I just..."

She stopped before she finished speaking—the tall knight stretched out his hand and patted the top of her head lightly: "Don't force yourself."

The doctor girl raised her head, and finally showed a calm smile—although her face was still pale, she showed obvious persistence:

"I thought, I can bear all the truth."

……

When Batman came to the clinic again, there were no lights in the room, and it seemed that there was no one in it, and it was pitch black.

He knocked on the door as usual.

The door was not opened, and no one came to answer the door.

The knight repeated the knock on the door.

Still the door is closed.

He stood silently at the door for a while longer, then knocked a third time.

The door finally opened.

The hall was still dark and the lights were not turned on. The doctor girl stood at the door, looked up at him for a while, and apologized softly: "Sorry, I didn't cook anything tonight."

The knight ignored her words, and just looked at her left hand.

The doctor girl subconsciously withdrew her hands behind her back.

The knight held out his hand.

She dodged subconsciously—but it was useless, everyone knew that the knight on the opposite side was the best fighter.

"When I was doing the experiment just now, I accidentally knocked it over..." The doctor girl was a little flustered.

On the back of her white hand, at this moment, there were traces of being corroded by some reagent, scorched and mixed with blood, which looked particularly shocking, but she seemed to be unconscious.She subconsciously struggled to withdraw her hand, but the knight's grip was too tight, and she couldn't break free no matter what.

"Why don't you heal yourself?" The knight's voice sounded deeper than usual.

"I... I'm not in a good mood, and I can't concentrate a little bit." The doctor girl lowered her head to avoid his sight, explained in a low voice, and soon showed a forced smile, "It's okay, after a while Enough."

She herself does not have the ability to heal herself, and she also has to rely on the ability to heal to act on herself.It is a delicate job controlled by mental power. Once you can't concentrate or your mental power is exhausted, you will not be able to do this kind of work.Her clinic is equipped with various state-of-the-art instruments and equipment, which are used for her experiments and research on the one hand, and to deal with such situations—in order to heal heroes as soon as possible, she usually chooses to use abilities , but in case there is a special situation that causes her mental exhaustion to be too high, she at least has technological means to save people.

The knight glanced at her, did not speak, but did not let go of her wrist, he pulled her to close the door and entered the room without saying a word, and then turned on the light in the hall on the first floor.

The sudden light made the doctor girl narrow her eyes uncomfortably.

The knight looked down at her: "Heal yourself."

"I..." The doctor girl shook her head subconsciously, and then she saw the tall knight leaning down slightly.

He almost forced himself to look at him in a tough posture, and then said again: "Heal yourself. You can do it, Thea."

Thea froze for a moment and bit her lip.

The knight watched as the scorched black marks on her hands began to fade away little by little, and finally returned to their original whiteness and smoothness.Then he still didn't let go of his hand, took her to the sink, washed off the blood on the back of her hand, and finally wiped off the water stain on her hand with a towel.

"I did a DNA comparison myself, and you're right—Batman is always right." The doctor girl lowered her head, her voice was almost murmured, but the knight still heard all her words clearly, "Bruce, am I...shouldn't have been born at all?"

"No one would think so." The knight had turned off the voice changer at some point, and returned to his original magnetic voice. It was slightly deep, but it sounded like it was full of subtle tenderness. "Everyone likes you."

The doctor girl looked up at him in surprise, but quickly shook her head again:

"I used to think that even if my father and mother have their own secrets, at least they all love me—especially my father."

The knight was obviously not good at handling such "heart-to-heart talks" at all, his tone and movements were a little stiff, but after a moment of silence, he still responded in a low voice: "This has not changed."

"Even if this kind of love is based on betrayal and lies?" Thea asked back, "My father and mother both had their own lovers, and I was the result of my mother and Malcolm's derailment. My father, mother , and his biological father... plans to kill tens of thousands of citizens in the slums of Star City, for what they call 'clearing the scum from the slums, reviving the city, and saving the city'?"

Getting Malcolm's DNA wasn't difficult.She had been back to Star City early in the morning—Malcolm had just narrowly escaped an assassination attempt on him.She followed Oliver on hospital visits and easily got a few hairs with his follicles on his comb.She gave Oliver all the information Batman had found—except for the part about her life experience, and then Oliver told her that he had just received an anonymous message, the content of which was the same as the one in her hand. Almost exactly the same.

Thea knew that it was from Iron Man.Obviously, the part about her life experience was also removed.

Oliver wouldn't let her interfere in the slums of Star City—of course she knew she couldn't interfere.She went back to the clinic and did a DNA test of herself and Malcolm herself.

In fact, she already knew the result, and knew from the beginning that she was just struggling in vain—Batman was always right.

"Thank you for being willing to tell me all the truth." Thea took a deep breath, "I think..."

"You should go to rest now." The knight stopped what she couldn't finish, paused for a while, and then added, "Or..."

As soon as he uttered these two words, he soon realized what he had said, and immediately stopped talking.

But Thea raised her head and looked at him, she was silent for a while, and finally couldn't maintain the calm expression on her face: "I... can't sleep, I don't know how to face Ollie, I don't know how to face Ollie today. What else will I do tonight..."

Obviously before he came, she seemed to be able to calmly accept the truth of all this alone, but all the peace seemed to collapse the moment she saw him.Before he came, she obviously didn't want to cry at all...

"Bruce," she finally said with tears in her voice, "I'm... so sad. I don't understand, why... did things turn out like this?"

She was hugged into a slightly cold but extraordinarily generous embrace.

"Or you can go to Wayne Manor." The knight finally finished the sentence he stopped just now, paused, and explained again, "Dick wants to see you very much."
