[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

It was pure coincidence that the Superman family would stay overnight.

According to Clark's original idea, he only needs to have a good chat with Bruce, and then he can retire after calming down, but the matter is obviously more complicated than he thought, and when everyone calms down, a rational battle can be held By the time we talked, it was dinner time.

It happened that Louise sent a message saying that she would not be able to go back to the Metropolis today, and that Connor and Xiao Qiao had a rare friend, and the other wanted to communicate more with new friends. Clark simply followed suit. I agreed to Ah Fu's invitation to stay overnight.He could see that the old man was hoping that Bruce would take a break from "educating" the kids by seeing guests in the house.

The surprise attack on the owl court that night made Clark extremely glad that he chose to agree to Ah Fu's invitation.

He couldn't imagine that Bruce had suffered such a serious injury and was besieged by a group of killers who could regenerate constantly. Even if he faced the risk of his secret identity being exposed, it would be too strenuous!

"Take them to the Batcave, the low temperature can make the claws lose their power!" Just as Tim beat back one claw with the curtain rod, the other claw came from his dead corner and was pinched by Connor He hit his neck into the wall and temporarily lost consciousness.

"Understood!" Connor bent down and threw the two sharp claws that fell on the ground to his shoulders like a sack, and rushed towards the Batcave briskly.Little Qiao, who was following Connor, also dragged two miserable-looking sharp claws (you can tell it was Damian's handwriting at a glance), watching the thin and small body pull the two claws effortlessly. As a tall and strong adult, Tim couldn't help but lament in his heart that the Kryptonians' superpowers under the yellow sun are really useful.

Throwing away the cranky thoughts in his mind, Tim rushed down the Batcave. The first thing he did was to remove the wrist computer-like device on Claw's hand and start reading the information inside.

Almost on the heels of Tim and others, Clark also entered the Batcave with a large group of sharp claws that were bundled up in a mess of wires, sheets, and metal pieces that were removed from anywhere. Holding Bruce (the gauze on his abdomen was dyed a lot red), the other hand held the big caste blade, and the blade pierced his head straight from the inside of the goggles of the claws, just nailing a claw to drag him along Dragging all the way down the Batcave like a dead dog.

Dick and Damian each came downstairs with a subdued claw.The way Dick carried the claw was normal. Damian and Jason used the same technique, except that he used a gun. The blade that passed through the back of the claw scraped across the metal stairs and made a harsh grinding sound. .

"Gentlemen, put them in the isolation area!" Alfred opened the isolation area of ​​the Batcave. This part has only been opened in rare cases since its establishment. It was originally designed to trap Krypton. The strength of the stars is used as a benchmark, and now it is just used to trap these undead killers.

After confirming that the door of the isolation area was locked tightly, the temperature inside began to drop. Bruce pushed away Jason who was about to change his gauze, gritted his teeth, walked to the bat computer and asked Tim, "What did you find?"

"It's not good, Bruce." Tim's face paled under the light of the Batcomputer. "It's very, very bad."

What I obtained from Talon was a list, all of whom were prominent public figures in the city, including Supreme Court judges, city auditors, public interest advocates, city government spokespersons, directors of the Cultural Bureau... Everyone is the founder of this city, and they are people who have a love for the city and a beautiful vision to push this century-old city into a more brilliant future.

Among them are many acquaintances of the Bat family, such as Sheriff Gordon, the current mayor, and the old opponent Freeze.

"They intend to completely rewrite Gotham's power structure." It doesn't take much political sensitivity to predict what the next batch of people will be to fill these positions. "They don't care that such a large-scale murder will attract people from all walks of life Because everyone who dared to challenge them after tonight is dead, and the rest are either pretending to be deaf and dumb to save their lives, or the Owl Court’s own people.”

"Put on the equipment." Bruce walked towards his bat suit without hesitation, ignoring the bright red color patches on his body, "There is no time, and it is impossible to say how many people on this list have already died."

Nightwing and Robin had already changed into their respective uniforms, and Tim hastily changed into Red Robin's after rushing the news to the Prophet so she could notify the rest of the Birds of Prey.

Clark originally planned to persuade Bruce not to take him into battle, but he decided to give the job of persuasion to Batman's birds after Jason's eyes signaled him. He then forcibly went into battle, it was better to hurry up and get a few more sharp claws, no matter what, he could monitor Bruce's heartbeat at any time, and if there was anything wrong, he could rush over to rescue him immediately.

After obtaining Clark's approval, Connor followed Tim's instructions and rushed to the designated location for rescue. The youngest, Joe, was assigned the task of "protecting Ah Fu".Red Robin and Nightwing nodded to Jason and Damian respectively, and then stepped on their respective motorcycles to rescue the targets.

Enduring the pain from his wound, Bruce began to plan the priority of rescue targets in his mind, going to Arkham first, and then going to Lincoln March...

"Wait, B!" Jason grabbed Bruce, who was unbuttoning the belt of his nightgown, and stood between Bruce and his uniform, "Don't tell me you plan to use this body to go head-to-head with the group of living dead!"

"Get out of the way, Jason, this is not the time to argue about this, someone's life is hanging by a thread outside." Bruce reached out and tried to push Jason away, but the young man stood firmly where he was, and this stubbornness moved Bruce. And anxious, "Jason!"

"No! You can't see what the hell you look like, I won't let you fight with the claws with this look!" Jason really wanted to knock Bruce's head open to see what was inside. What, "Have you nothing else to do but kill yourself?"

Damian looked at his father, then at his brother, took a deep breath and stood beside Bruce with his chest up, proposing: "If this is the wish of the father, I think we should respect him."

Jason stared at Damian in disbelief, who continued unhurriedly, "As Robin, I'll follow—"

"Not today, Robin." Damian never thought that the solo task he was looking forward to would come at this time, which made him not happy at all, "The court has too many goals, we have to act separately to be more efficient .”

When Bruce spoke, his eyes were firmly locked on Jason's face and he met his four eyes: "We waste a second here, an innocent person may die outside, and we need every helper who can act."

Pressing Jason with guilt wasn't what Bruce meant, he knew he sounded like he was accusing Jason of indirectly killing people on the list, but he couldn't do it when his kids and allies were out there fighting When I was alone, I huddled in the safety of the bat cave.This is his city, as long as he still has breath and can swing his fists, he will stand on the front line to guard Gotham.

Jason looked like he was struggling to knock Bruce out with a punch, and even Damian frowned against Bruce's request to go it alone, thinking that Bruce's injury would make him a weak point for the team and he should be with him action is more appropriate.

"Okay!" It was Jason who finally gave in, stepping aside so Bruce could go get his batsuit, and raised his hand in mid-air with Damian's betrayed eyes "Come on " gesture, "but I have one condition, if you refuse, I will prevent you from getting out of the Batcave, I will do what I say, old man."

From the depths of the bat cave, there was a sound of flapping wings, accompanied by squeaking screams, and a group of black shadows gathered into sharp black arrows and shot towards the father and son, before Jason raised his hand. A black tornado of bats formed near his hand in a steady circle.

"Brucey follows you. If he decides you can't continue fighting, I'll know right away." Jason held his AI pet between his fingers. From the outside, Brucey looked exactly like his bat brothers, even Bruce also couldn't find the correct one among the hundreds of bats, "Don't think about getting rid of him, old man, I have cleared your authority on Bruce now, and he will follow you to the ends of the earth."

Batman's answer was to put on the hood, snort and jump into the Batmobile with a flying cape. The black gothic tank roared to declare sovereignty to the raging owls in the city, and the bat at the rear of the car They added more magical colors to Batman tonight.

There can only be one urban legend in Gotham, the bat or the owl, and only one of them can continue to spread after tonight.

"Come on, little prince." Jason put on the red hood, stepped on his motorcycle and waited for Damian to jump up. "We have a lot of owl claws waiting to be chopped off."

"Tt, apart from endurance, that kind of thing doesn't even master the most basic skills of an assassin." Damian glanced at the isolation room where the Talons were held in distaste, "The court of owls found a mistake in training assassins Mentor."

"Ha, speaking from experience?" Jason rushed out of the Batcave with full throttle, and Damian was in the same direction as his assigned target, "Looks like we both have to give the court a loud slap in the face, Um?"

There was no answer from the back, but Jason knew that not refusing on the spot was Damian's agreement.

The encryption function built into the hood can buy him a short period of time without being monitored by the prophet, and this channel must be invalidated from then on: "Ubu, do you know the situation in the city? Get rid of the claw in the owl suit, no trouble Recycle it in its entirety and dispose of it on the spot."

"Understood, young master." Ubud accepted Jason's order without saying a word, "Mrs. Thalia told you and young master Damian to be careful."

"Yes." Jason couldn't help smiling under the hood, "And... watch Batman as much as possible without being noticed."

After the call ended, Jason reconnected to the Bat-family's usual communication channel, and it sounded like no one had noticed his brief silence.Damian separated from Jason at the designated location and continued to his goal. Jason knew Bruce's views on the League of Assassins, and how much he wanted to "wash" Damian's past training in the League of Assassins .

Once Bruce knew that Jason was not only connected with Thalia, but even took the initiative to use the League's killer...well, even if the picture would be too beautiful, Jason would choose to do it.

Bruce may think that this is self-indulgence, but for Jason, there is nothing that cannot be used for any resources that are beneficial to us.Anyway, he can't be the old man's model son, at least he can do all the things that Batman can't (do not want to do), and at the same time give Gotham a better tomorrow.

In order to maintain the existing order, all countries in the world still need agents to help the country deal with the dirty work!

Batman actually needs such a person, and he is the person Batman needs.
