[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

When Peter was a child, he fantasized that his father was Knight Rider, driving a talking car to fight crime and bring justice.At that time, he thought that David Hasselhoff was the coolest person in the world, but now he found out that the real father was a hundred times cooler than David Hasselhoff!

What is a talking car?His father, Egg, was a talking--planet!

When Egg appeared in front of him, Peter was a little wary of him.What kind of man would keep saying that he loves his woman, but never come to see her until she dies?And where has he been hiding all these years?Why did he suddenly come out at this juncture?

At the beginning, Peter really thought of Egg as a trash dad who abandoned his wife and children, but when he saw his wife and children living a prosperous life, he wanted to use his sperm to come back and act as a domineering father.

It's strange to say that when he didn't see his father, all he thought about was how beautiful life would be if he had a father, but when his father really appeared, all he thought about was how his father was sorry for him and his mother in the past. .Just thinking of his mother lying in a hospital bed, battered by cancer and still saying, "Peter, your dad is the nicest man I've ever met," makes Peter rage.

If Gamora hadn't persuaded him not to be impulsive (maybe this person is really your David Hasselhoff?), Peter might not have followed Ego to his planet, nor would he There will be a chance to meet Dad.For this reason, he is very grateful to Gamora for her timely voice of reason, but she is often too ineffective, and when she really arrives on Ego's planet, Gamora begins to feel that everything is irrational again.

Maybe she needs a little more time to get used to it, and when she's sure there's really no danger here, she'll start enjoying life just like herself—that's what Peter thinks.

Because all of this is like a dream come true!Peter can't wait to share his joy with others. After Jason rescues his brothers from Yondu, the three of them can come here together to find a way to return to the original universe. With the knowledge of this universe, who else can Peter live on a planet that has lived here for hundreds of millions of years?

Rocket did send a message, asking him how he got along with Yi Ge, whether Yi Ge had shown his evil face, and if he found that the situation was wrong, he should run away and so on.Peter laughed it off, believing that Rocket would put aside his skepticism when he saw Egg and this beautiful planet with his own eyes.Oh, and Jason has managed to rendezvous with the brothers,

Ego is a living planet, and a human life is just a blink of an eye to him, but he still remembers every song his mother likes, and asks Peter to give him a chance to be a father.He showed Peter the "Light of the Planet", told him his story about the Celestials, and told Peter that one day when he mastered this power familiarly, he could achieve extraordinary feats.

After his mother passed away, after so many years, Peter felt that he had finally found another good person who could miss her with him and really understand her. This person was his father Egg.

It's all so beautiful!

"Guys, I have some bad news." Rocket jumped off the communication platform and walked towards the strange team in front of him, "Egg completely pulled Peter into his boat, didn't you hear that?" How did he say it, eight out of ten sentences are 'my dad is awesome', and the remaining two are 'my dad is super cool' and 'you will love this place', wanting him to leave by himself It's impossible."

"It's expected." Even though he said that, Jason clicked his tongue unhappily, "Igo gave birth to offspring in the universe and sent people to help him collect these children at any cost. He must have a plan. And children are part of that plan."

Tim read the old files of the Saboteur's bridge computer, found the list of trades between Yondu and Ego, and was looking at them one by one: "From this list, Ego waits until the child grows to about eight, I only found it when I was nine years old. What are the qualities of a child at this age?"

"Don't look at me, Drake." Damian gave Tim a hard look, "I was able to drive all kinds of vehicles when I was five years old, and I had enough knowledge to become a doctor when I was seven years old. Don't compare me to a nursing baby."

"Well, at least every child of this age is better-behaved and obedient than you." Tim nodded without any emotional fluctuations, and went back to continue to check the list of Yondu's dolls back then, trying to find out the common characteristics of these children and clarify Egg's thoughts. To collect these children uses.

Standing behind Tim, Batman looked at the alien children with different looks and their simple family background information, and a question came to his mind: "You went to pick up these children according to the information on this list or Have a photo to identify someone?"

"That's right, the information given by Ego is actually quite accurate, which is why I believe he is really the father of the child. As long as we go to the place on the information, the facial recognition on the spaceship will basically be able to correctly locate the child we are looking for. children." Yondu looked at the list blankly, "and he promised not to hurt those children."

"Interesting." Batman pointed to Peter on the list. The eight-year-old Peter Quill had a more melancholic aura than the average child of this age. According to Gotham's experience, most children with this aura are followed by tragic Family environment, to apply Peter's example - single parent, unknown father, mother with cancer, the child in the photo is about to lose the most important pillar in his life, "From the time Peter Quill's mother was diagnosed with cancer until her death , only a few months apart, this is a recent photo."

"So?" Yondu didn't understand what Batman was trying to express, wasn't it just a photo?

"Tt, what father means is that since this Egg can get a recent photo of Quill within a few months, why doesn't he just take Quill away?" Even through the domino mask, Damian can still let the surrounding Everyone felt the contempt from Robin, "Unless he was actually unable to take Quill away directly at that time, or he was waiting for the right time."

"What timing? Wait until Peter says goodbye to his mother?" Jason sneered. He still remembered how he watched Peter heartbrokenly crying for his mother in the hospital that night as a ghost.

"Maybe he was waiting for this." Tim typed on the keyboard quickly, and more detailed background information of the children on the list flashed out. Although not comprehensive, it may be because too many years have passed, or it may be because the aliens The technological database is more tightly protected, but judging from the information Tim can find, more than half of the mothers of these children have passed away, or the mother's whereabouts are unknown or they have formed a family with other people.

"Eight to nine years old is basically the age when mothers are most needed. At this stage, children will consciously and purposefully please adults, especially mothers, because they need mother's attention." Batman said, The three children who found him looked at him stupidly, as if he had said something inappropriate.

"I didn't know you did research on early childhood education." Tim seemed to reacquaint himself with Bruce.

"Actually, you are Ah Fu, right? I know that Ah Fu is superb in acting, don't lie to me, Ah Fu?" Jason pointed at Batman's determination to discover the truth, making Batman just want to cut Jason's detective training courses. Drop off and practice again.

Damian's lips twitched, his face turned red and then turned pale, and it took him a long time to force out a sentence: "I definitely didn't deliberately please my mother, I just pursued perfection, that's all!"

At times like this Batman really wants to knock the heads off of his kids to see what's inside.After all, he raised Dick to such a big age, raised Jason...cough cough cough; raised Tim...no, the first half was raised by the Drake family. Although the family is emotionally jerk, but Tim hasn't been wronged materially; Damian...well, not a normal kid to begin with.

In this way, Dick is almost also raised by Ah Fu, strictly speaking, even he himself is raised by Ah Fu!

No!Stop it and stop thinking about it!

"That's not the point." Batman forcefully turned the topic back to the children on the screen, "What would happen if Egg appeared in front of them as a father to these children who longed for their mothers but lost their mothers?" What's up?"

"It's easy for them to turn to their 'father' for approval and attention, even if their father is a scumbag." Jason blurted out without thinking, recalling the past when he and Catherine Todd huddled together in a dilapidated apartment As long as she can recover from drug addiction, say a few words to him, smile at him, touch his hair and praise him for being a good boy, he is willing to do anything for her.

When Catherine died, when he started hiding in Crime Alley, Jason had fantasized about Willis Todd returning to his life, and he even secretly vowed in his heart that if Willis really came back Now, he will be a good boy, it doesn't matter whether Willis wants him to steal or rob, as long as he doesn't leave him alone.

But of course Willis won't show up, and Jason gradually got rid of unrealistic fantasies and survived at the bottom of Gotham by himself until he met Batman.

Thinking of that fateful night, Jason let go of his clenched fist, and gave a meaningful smile to the gloomy Batman who drooped at the corner of his mouth: "Or wear strange clothes to fight crime, and suffer from chronic emotional disorder, and indulge in metaphysics An inextricable bat spirit."

"Jason, you're so unprofessional." Batman gave Jason a low-key warning, but Jason, who was already laughing with his brothers, obviously didn't take this warning to heart.

Only Yondu gave Batman a understanding look and an encouraging shoulder pat—I understand, brat.

"Focus, we are still on mission!" Batman cleared his throat, pointed to the screen and continued to analyze Egg's state of mind, "We assume that Egg's plan needs these children, then approach them as a father at this moment, The higher the likelihood of persuading children to cooperate."

"It makes sense, if you take the children too early, they may not be able to understand Egg's request." Tim nodded thoughtfully, "But if the children are too old, they may not necessarily cooperate. "

Jason continued to analyze along this line of thinking: "So when Yondu didn't send Peter to Ego, the other party didn't come to him, because he knew that if he missed this golden period, Peter wouldn't be so easy to be fooled. "

Damian frowned and pointed out the blind spot in this reasoning: "But if it's just for children to control, why go back to Quill? His age is obviously not suitable, although he often shows childish words and deeds, he His biological age and judgment meet at least the minimum standards of a reasonable adult."

Yondu looks like he's struggling to put a dart in Damien's mouth.

"You forgot that there is an ability called mind control in the world, but it's not right. If he has this ability, he doesn't need to worry about his age, just force him directly." Jason poked Damian's temple and was caught The angry child slapped his fingers off, "But this is just my guess, we don't know exactly what abilities Egg has. Right, Yondu?"

"No." Yondu shrugged, "I haven't really fought with him, he is a guest no matter what, and we will not provoke guests casually if we have nothing to do."

"Or we are all wrong. What Egg wants is not a certain characteristic that these children have in common." Tim pointed to the screen and looked at the others as if he had discovered a new world. "What he wants is that Peter has, But there’s something that these kids don’t have. That’s why he came back to Peter after all these years—a hard adult to fool.”

"Actually, Peter is quite easy to deceive." Jason murmured in a low voice, Damian nodded in agreement, and responded to Jason in the same low voice, "That's right, it's Drake himself who fooled Quill the most."

Rocket, who had been fiddling with weapons beside him, pricked up his ears: "Speaking of features, Peter mentioned a kind of 'planet light', saying that it was a cool skill that Egg taught him. Looking for a special ability?"

Batman pondered for a moment, sorted out their thinking process, and came to the conclusion that the ability that Ego was looking for was genetically inherited, such as the "light of the planet" in Peter's mouth.Egg probably needs his offspring to go through certain procedures on their own to check if they have inherited the ability, so comprehension and age are important factors, but not required.

"We need to know what race this Egg is, and how we can subdue him." Batman said, looking at Yondu, "You have traded with him many times, can you tell his race?"

Yondu looked at the bat spirit with a gloomy face, and then thought about the answer to the other party's question, he felt that he finally had the opportunity to see the panicked expression of this earth monster, it must be very exciting.

"Of course," Yondu said the shocking truth with feigned ease, waiting for the gaffe from the Batman, "he's a planet."

The imaginary gaffe and exclamation did not happen.Rocket screamed in unison, but this was not the shock that Yondu was looking for, his target Batman was still standing there calmly and self-possessed, as if thinking about the mystery of the origin of the universe.

No, no, he is willing to pretend to be calm, but he must be screaming in his heart, after all, they are going to deal with a planet!

"The so-called planet is the concept of a living planet? That is, the planet itself has consciousness and can act autonomously?" After Batman sought confirmation from Yondu, he finalized the combat strategy against the planet within a few breaths, "according to Based on the experience of the Green Lantern Corps, we must destroy the star core."

"Ah, Mogo." Jason remembered the materials he had read in the past, and the living planet Mogo was also very special in the Green Lantern Corps.Even though there were only a few words, Jason could still see that Mogo was a great and noble member of the Green Lantern Corps. He was also a living planet, and Egg, who would not hesitate to give birth to children and kill his own offspring for his own purposes. A living planet is nothing compared to it.

"Then bombs should be the safest option right now." Tim chose the type of weapon, which was unanimously agreed by Batman and Jason.

Rocket patted his chest and said that he was good at this task, and after being shocked, he showed great enthusiasm for the fact that he could blow up the planet.

Dami pretended that he knew a little about making explosives and could provide necessary assistance. He followed the rocket to the material warehouse to prepare for the false name of making weapons and stealing raccoons.

Yondu looked at the group of earth bats who said bombing the planet was as simple as going shopping, and suddenly felt that he was very lucky to have raised Jason's favorability in the past without knowing it.Otherwise, he might have been blown to ashes by the old bat spirit before the crew mutinied.

"By the way, I have a question, that is... I just said that you are addicted to metaphysics, what is this?" Yondu asked Batman sincerely, maybe it is a good thing, and more research can enhance parent-child relationship?

What answered him was Batman's cold "huh" and the black cape that was raised high when he turned around.

Yondu became more and more sure that "metaphysics" must be a good thing on Earth.
