The doctor girl didn't cry very much, she just hid her head in Batman's arms with her head sullen, and occasionally there would be some extremely slight, uncontrollable sobbing sounds.

Batman said nothing more, waiting patiently for her.

I don't know how long it took, the movement in his arms finally gradually quieted down, and even the sound of breathing became steady. The knight lowered his head, only to find that the doctor girl had fallen asleep.

For more than a day and a night, she was obviously suffering every minute and every second, until now she was finally able to vent her emotions by crying. Once she relaxed, she was obviously tired of crying soon.

There are still clear tear stains on her face, and to be honest, it's not pretty.He couldn't help reaching out and rubbing gently with his thumb.

Then Bruce reached out and stroked her hair—it was almost dry.He didn't check the time, but it looked like...they'd clearly sat on the ground long enough.

The knight stood up holding the girl, carefully carried her to the bed, covered her with the quilt, bent down to pick up the cup on the ground, and then closed the door and went out.

……

When Master Wayne ate breakfast the next day, he felt a familiar smell—under the eyes of the housekeeper who was full of relief, it was rare for him to finish the meal honestly.

Mr. Butler, who has been worrying about Master Wayne every day, is obviously in a good mood, so that before Master Wayne can figure out how to speak, he has already answered his questions with empathy: "Miss Thea and Master Dick in the yard."

Bruce nodded, stood up and walked towards the yard expressionlessly.

Soon he saw the man he was looking for.

Dick is training - the Grayson family is the famous "trapeze family" in Gotham. The flexibility of the eight-year-old boy is amazing enough, but he still needs systematic training to be able to be the "Batman assistant" he has always wanted work.

--Fighting criminals is not a thrilling game, although the teenagers seem to think it is.

The doctor's girl was sitting on the sidelines—obviously Mr. Housekeeper had arranged everything, and someone sent her clothes that fit her early this morning.The little girl was wearing a coat with a small cape on her shoulders, she looked very cute, but... she also looked younger.

Master Wayne couldn't help but began to have a little doubt—whether Mr. Steward did it on purpose.

Although her face looked a little pale, at least she was no longer as depressed as yesterday, and she was even talking to the person on the other end of the phone with a faint smile—yes, she was on the phone.

Although she was on the phone, she didn't actually talk much. Most of the time, she listened quietly with a smile——as he got closer, he could vaguely hear the voice on the other end of the phone. The young man's lively and familiar voice spoke so fast that there was almost no pause, as if he had endless words to say.The girl seemed to be very used to this kind of conversation, she nodded slightly from time to time, her expression gentle and focused.After a while, probably the boy on the other end had finally said enough, and he heard the girl softly called "Peter", and said: "Feed Luna for me during the day today, I didn't feed him in the morning." Put cat food."

The boy at the other end probably asked her where she went, because he heard the doctor girl answer vaguely: "I'm not here for the time being, and I'll be back tonight."

Master Wayne paused slightly.

The little girl continued to chat patiently with the other side of the phone for a few more words, and finally hung up the phone.The boy who was training came to an end for a while, and trotted over to drink water, sweating profusely.Thea handed him a piece of paper, and the boy wiped it on his face casually—the doctor girl seemed to shake her head helplessly, then reached out and gently wiped the sweat off his face.

The young man put down his glass, showed her a bright smile, and compared to her that his arms were not strong enough to be called strong.

While speaking, Dick seemed to have noticed his arrival, raised his head and waved at him again.The doctor girl followed the boy's gaze and turned her head. After a slightly surprised expression, she quickly smiled at him:

"Good morning, Bruce."

But Master Wayne didn't respond—he suddenly felt a little dazed, so dazed...as if he saw Wayne Manor before he was eight years old.

But he hadn't thought of such distant memories for a long, long time, so long that he even thought those memories had been buried with Bruce Wayne's death.

—Bruce Wayne was dead, when he was eight years old, in the alley behind the opera house, with his parents.The one who survived that night was Batman, and only Batman.

But he found that he could still remember—maybe not remember a specific scene and details, but... vaguely remember the warmth and softness that permeated the manor at that time.

"Bruce?" He didn't respond for a long time, and Thea couldn't help calling him softly again.

The owner of the manor immediately came back to his senses and nodded.

Thea didn't mind his attitude either, she smiled, turned her head and continued talking to Dick.

She's right, she's already capable of taking any truth—and Batman can't help but think that she's far more mature than she seems.

……

Batman sends the doctor girl back to New York after his night watch.

In fact, the doctor girl was eager to go to the night patrol with him—but the knight rejected the request without hesitation, so she was forced to stay in the Batcave and face Dick, who was also rejected, until the knight night patrol After coming, he took the doctor girl out again.

In the days that followed, no one noticed anything unusual—Tony was probably still guilty, and hadn’t come to her recently; the friends should have seen that she was a little depressed, but she didn’t say anything, and she didn’t say anything. After questioning, it was just that the time spent in the clinic became longer, hoping to accompany her more; as for her elder brother, Oliver didn't even know about the relationship between his mother and Malcolm, he only thought that his sister's Depressed because his parents were involved in an astonishing murder plan - the fact that he couldn't let go of it, coupled with the fact that he was almost at his wits end to deal with Malcolm's plan at the moment, and could only be comforted by the occasional phone call She said a few words.

The truth of life experience, as well as the hug and crying that night, seemed to have become an unspoken secret between the doctor girl and the knight. Everyone remembered it, but no one mentioned it again.

Until one night a few days later, the Cavaliers brought new news.

"The Green Arrow has found the instrument that Merlin used to create an earthquake. Merlin plans to implement the plan in three days. The Green Arrow will go to him tonight."

The doctor girl looked up at him under the warm yellow light.

"I can take you there," the knight looked down at her, "if you want."

The doctor girl was silent for a while, then she shook her head calmly: "I won't go."

"Ollie doesn't want me to go, so I won't go."

When she said this, she was lying on the sofa, with the book she was reading before the knight entered the door in her arms, and the black cat that had grown up was obediently lying next to her by her lap.When a person and a cat raise their eyes at the same time, they always seem to have an inexplicable similarity.

"Green Arrow will kill him." The knight's voice was not loud, but it was very clear in the night.

Thea nodded.

Batman didn't speak any more, just sat down next to her in silence - the black cat seemed to feel that his territory had been invaded, and suddenly became a little furious, jumped from the sofa to the back of the sofa, and looked down at him condescendingly.

The two sat quietly for a while. I don't know how long it took. The knight raised his hand to look at the operation screen on the arm armor, and said in a low voice, "It's over."

Thea turned around in a daze, and it seemed that it took a while before she finally realized what the three words in his mouth meant.After a moment of blankness in her mind, she smiled and said softly: "I don't know when you also monitored Xingcheng."

This was originally a question that was not expected to be answered, but Batman answered in a low voice unexpectedly: "When you asked me to check."

Thea was a little dumbfounded.

The doctor girl stood up, walked slowly to the window, looked out at the thick night, and softly repeated the knight's previous words: "It's finally over."

I don't know what it feels like at this moment?Are you sad?It seems to be there, but it is not as sad as I once thought; do you feel happy?There doesn't seem to be anything to be happy about either.At this moment, the only thing that can be felt is probably the emptiness after everything is over.

The knight stood beside her.

"Will Ollie know?" Thea turned to look at him.

"Merlin himself doesn't know." The knight didn't look at her, and his gaze also fell on the night outside the window. "Actually, your father—Robert Quinn, knows about your life experience."

The doctor girl didn't seem to understand what he meant, and subconsciously opened her eyes wide.

"I checked in the past few days, and he knows you..." The knight paused slightly when he said this, and rarely passed the following words vaguely, before saying, "He loves you, not because he was deceived."

"Your father loves you, Thea." The knight looked out the window, his tone was so calm that he did not bully, but seemed to carry a convincing force, "Just because you are yourself. Your friends are the same."

Thea was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed softly.

Batman turned his head and found that the doctor girl was staring at him with a somewhat strange gaze.

"You know what? During my awakening, I felt like everything sucked—my father and brother died, my mother left me alone, and I became a monster myself. Until Charles said to me 'Son, you are as gentle as you are capable of'—that was the first time I felt, redeemed."

"Not so long ago, I thought I was almost going to have nothing again." The doctor girl looked up at him from the window. "And now, you tell me that Daddy loves me—just because of me, for me."

"I've said before that Batman gave me hope. Now I want to say—"

"Batman gives me hope," she said, pausing slightly, and whispering, "I mean—he always does."

The author has something to say:

In fact, Thea and Brucey have embraced each other a long time ago... even kissed each other
