After finally urging the young masters to go to bed obediently one by one, Thea was finally able to return to her room.

When he opened the door and entered the room, Master Wayne was looking out the window by himself.

Wayne Manor was too big, and it was actually difficult to see the city from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the master bedroom.When Batman is occasionally idle, he always seems to like to stand here and watch for a while - Thea can't tell whether he is really looking at the scenery, or just in a daze.Sometimes she would stay quietly by the window with Master Wayne for a while—when she looked out, all she could see was the perennial rain in Gotham.

Rarely, when she opened the door, Master Wayne turned his head the first time.

Their eyes met, and the two were silent for a while.

Until the end, Thea spoke first—every time, she was always the one who spoke first.

"In the evening, I always feel that I have a lot to say," Mrs. Wayne closed the door, raised her head and smiled at him, "but now I feel... there seems to be nothing to ask."

The knight didn't speak, just stretched out his hand to her.

The doctor couldn't help but smiled again - obviously not because he was in a happy mood, but it didn't mean that he was angry or angry. If he had to say it, it was probably... just a kind of complete helplessness.

Thea walked up to the man and put her hand in his palm.

In the next second, she was hugged into a firm embrace.

"If you had to say something," she thought, and sighed softly, "I thought you'd want to explain something to me—for example, Damian wasn't born normally?"

"Tim found it?" Batman guessed the reason immediately, and after a moment of silence, he continued, "That's not enough to be my excuse."

The doctor laughed again. "So, is this your birthday present from Talia this year?"

"..." Batman choked for a moment, and rarely knew how to answer, so he could only call his wife's name again, "Thea—"

"I'm not going to ask you if you ever loved Thalia—batman would never admit it, anyway; I don't care about Damian's existence, and I don't know why Thalia sent him to you suddenly, but at least Damian is innocent." The doctor girl pulled her hand from her husband's palm When he came back, he raised his hand and gently patted him on the shoulder, "Be a good father, Bruce. I was not a few years older than him when I lost my father, so I know what that means."

Master Wayne bowed his head and kissed her forehead: "You are always soft-hearted."

The doctor girl showed a particularly helpless expression:

"From the beginning, I knew Brucey Baby was a playboy, and I knew his ex-girlfriend list was endless, and I even knew that Batman would never be a good lover. But I still love Falling in love with him, willing to marry him—since it was my own decision, I don’t seem to have anything to complain about.”

"Well, it's not the first time you've brought a child home anyway." Thea shook her head and hugged him, "Happy birthday, dear."

Master Wayne hugged her silently.

He hugged a little hard, but he refused to let go.Thea patted him on the back amusedly, motioning for him to let go of himself—but it didn't work.

Not only did it fail, but he was pressed even harder into his arms.

Then she heard Batman, who had been silent for a long time, finally speak in his deep voice—but it sounded a little strange.

Maybe it wasn't the voice that made her feel strange, but... those few words made her feel a little strange—at least she never expected to hear it from Batman.

"Sorry, Thea," he said, "I love you."

The doctor blinked blankly in his arms.

After a few seconds, she finally came to her senses and opened her eyes wide: "I thought... probably I won't hear you say that until one of us is about to die."

Master Wayne fell silent again.

Thea looked up at him.

Batman and her stared at each other for a while, then repeated in a low voice:

"I love you."

"I know," she laughed, "I know, Bruce."

……

Although Damian's appearance caught the entire Wayne family by surprise, since they had explained the cause and effect clearly and knew that it was not the result of the old father's cheating, the young masters of the Wayne family would not have any hostility towards this child— —Especially for the young master who has always been good-tempered.It's just that the vigilance and hostility shown by this child made several Robins a little worried, and it was rare for them to live back in Wayne Manor obediently.

But during the day, the Eldest Young Master and the Third Young Master still have to go to school, especially Ye Yi, who is still in college in Brudhaven at the moment—only the Second Young Master is left alone at home, arms crossed Leaning against the wall lazily, his tone sounded full of disgust:

"You just accepted it? I really don't understand how you could bear him for so many years without beating him up and breaking up?"

Mrs. Wayne glanced back at him: "You really want me to break up with Bruce?"

The second young master snorted coldly: "Of course."

Thea shook her head amusedly and helplessly, and stretched out her hand to tidy up the collar of his leather jacket: "After all, it happened before we met, so what can we do? I probably owe you the Wayne family." , none of them let me worry."

"I haven't done anything recently." The second young master hurriedly separated the relationship, "Don't take me with you."

Thea patted him on the shoulder and turned his head away again.

In the courtyard, Master Wayne was staring at a black cat.

Luna has reached middle age and is not as active as before. Most of the time she loves to nest next to Thea and enjoy the smooth service of her master.But today is a rare sunny day in Gotham, so it moved to the sunniest place in the courtyard early in the morning and lay down, lazily basking in the sun.

The arrival of a strange human made it a little alert, straightened up and looked at him.

The boy looked at it for a while, then slowly squatted down, then stretched out his hand, and touched its back tentatively.

The black cat stared at him for a while, probably feeling that this man's smooth service was quite comfortable, and slowly lay back on his stomach. When Thea looked over, the black cat was already lying on its back, revealing The boy scratched his stomach from head to tail.

The young man who put away his hostility seemed to finally have a little childishness that should have been at this age.

"The betrayal is too fast." The second young master couldn't help muttering.

Before Damian arrived, besides Thea, Jason was the most trusted by the black cat.

"After all, I'm just a child," Mrs. Wayne shook her head with a smile, "isn't that great?"

"You're too good-tempered," Red Hood looked sideways, "he won't accept your favor."

"I know he won't like me - I can't please everyone, so, since Batman brought it home, let Batman have a headache, I can't control it." Thea blinked Blinking, "The children at home are already enough to give me a headache."

"Come on, I don't believe you'll ignore him." The red hood stretched his arm, and casually wrapped it around the girl's shoulders, with a look of seeing through everything, "I've never seen a more soft-hearted person than you."

The girl said "Oh", and said seriously: "That must be because you are ignorant, you should read more books—what are you reading recently, Shakespeare?"

The second young master shrugged.

……

Iron Man, Green Arrow and Cyclops came to the door in the evening of this day.

Looking at the menacing appearance of several heroes, perhaps it should be more appropriate to say that they "came to the door".

He came a day late, and obviously checked the whole thing from beginning to end during this day.

"I thought you just liked to pick up sons and bring them home, but I didn't expect you to actually make an illegitimate child, Bruce," Iron Man's tone was full of sarcasm, "I have to say, you are much more powerful than I imagined. "

Green Arrow looked at his sister: "Let's go home, Thea."

Before Thea could answer, Cyclops didn't say anything, just walked up to her and stretched out her hand.

The three Robins looked at each other.

Ye Yi seemed a little worried. After hesitating for a moment, he still didn't speak.

With the red hood draped over his shoulders, he looked at Batman intently.

Red Robin, who just decided to fly solo not long ago, was thoughtful, but also didn't speak.

"When I handed you over to him at the wedding, I didn't expect what happened today," Cyclops stretched out his hand and spread his palm in front of his students, and said gently, "But you know, no matter what Xavier Academy is your home all the time."

"Scott, Tony, Ollie..." Thea called the people's names one by one, and couldn't help but carry a bit of coquettishness in her tone, "You guys know the whole story."

"Of course," Iron Man nodded without hesitation, "you have to believe, if it weren't for this, we would have beaten Batman to tears by now."

Even though he said so, the eager expression on his face still betrayed his intention at this moment.

"But that doesn't mean I don't intend to beat him up now." Master Quinn said, flexing his wrist.

"I have nothing to explain," Master Wayne finally opened his mouth. After a pause, he continued, "We can talk in another place."

Thea looked over.

Master Wayne looked at her for two seconds, then looked away.

Then she could feel the small captain's palm gently rubbing the top of her head, and at the end she patted her head twice with a little comfort.

Thea sighed and watched the four heroes walk out of the hall of the manor.

The atmosphere was obviously not very friendly. The initiator of this turmoil - Damian, the fourth young master of the Wayne family, was full of vigilance since the few people entered the house. Seeing his father going out with the few people, he looked back subconsciously. A glance at the lobby.

The three Robins stood there indifferently.

The young man seemed a little confused, but in the next second he returned to his withdrawn face. He put on his knife and turned to follow, but was stopped by someone.

The boy clenched the handle of the knife: "Get out of the way."

"I think he really should be beaten up." Red Hood ignored him, just leaned against the door, turned to look at Nightwing and Red Robin, with a rare serious tone, "I've wanted to do this for a long time."

The two nodded in unison.

Jason finally turned around again: "You'd better not follow him to help, I've been waiting for the day when he will be beaten for a long time."

An unbelievable expression finally appeared on the young man's face. He was about to move his hands, and he seemed to think of something before he drew the knife. He turned around and looked at Mrs. Wayne who was standing aside without saying a word. With one glance, he snorted coldly: "Didn't you hypocritically say that you love him so much that you don't mind illegitimate children?"

Thea laughed out loud: "I love Tony, Ollie and Scott too."

The boy frowned.

Thea took a few steps forward.

"Everyone has a lot of feelings." There was a gentle smile in her tone, and she was very serious, "Between Bruce and I is love. Ollie is my brother, Tony and Scott are like my father, Also my teachers, Dick, Jason and Tim are my kids - those are family. I have friends, that's friendship. They stand up for me, that's their love for me - they have their measure Yes, I have no position to stop them. To be honest, in many cases, I also think he should be beaten up."

"I don't need that kind of thing." The boy looked away.

"Maybe." Thea nodded kindly, without refuting, but when the boy tried to continue to rush out the door, she thought about it and asked again, "It's almost time to feed Luna, do you want to go together?"
