[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

The assignment of tasks is as follows:

Tim and Kraglin are responsible for staying on board. If the ground troops need support, Tim can activate the main gun on the Batship to make up for damage.After landing, Jason and Damian went to find Peter. If they couldn't persuade him to leave, they could at least distract Egg's attention.Batman and Rocket will "convince" Mantis Girl to tell the news she doesn't want to disclose. He has participated in several large-scale battles in Gotham and the Justice League. At this critical moment, Batman's "convincing power" is still very strong. trustable.

Jason didn't have much opinion on this arrangement.

If Mantis Girl is a potential ally, Jason only hopes that the shadow area in this ally's heart will not be too big.

Yondu is the most familiar with this planet among all people-given that he has been here many times to "deliver" goods, otherwise he would not have found out that Ego killed all the children who were sent there, and the bones piled up into a hill .It is most appropriate for him to be responsible for driving the small boat to meet the ground troops.

Batman raised doubts about Yondu's discovery. Yondu knew Igo's dirty little secret. Aren't he afraid that Igo would kill him?

When asked this question, Yondu looked at Batman like he was looking at a mentally handicapped man, and he almost didn't ask: "Brother, how did you live to be so old?"

"This is the universe, Batman." Yondu finally choked out the endless words, "No one cares what Egg likes to do on his own planet, I know he kills children How? Who do I ask to take care of him? I have a business relationship with him. I don’t do the job of transporting children, and there are others. If you don’t see me, I will break the contract and not send Peter to him. After so many years Ge Bu didn't do anything to me, if he didn't find out that Peter had what he wanted, this bastard would never have thought of going back to find someone."

"However, if you spread the word that he will kill children, it should have an adverse effect on his process of collecting children, right?" Tim frowned, still unable to believe that Egg did such a thing. He also released Yondu, an important witness, "Isn't he worried that his plan will be hindered?"

"Please, the size of my planting to Egg is nothing more than a drop in a cup. Even if I go to shout loudly, let everyone know that Egg will kill his own child, what good will it do me Yondu spread his hands, turning a blind eye to the dissatisfied eyes from Batman, "I don't know what the rules are for you people on Earth, but here, no one wants to do things that are not beneficial. In such a big universe, If you want to be a hero and meddle in other people's business, you will die early, it's better to earn a living from your wallet!"

Batman does not agree with Yondu's philosophy of life, but he must accept that this is the rules of other people's games.On the bright side, even if they get rid of Egg, Yondu and Peter won't get into trouble.

The landing site was a wasteland, and as far as the eye could see, there were only bare stones and craters.Gamora has another woman with tentacles waiting there, which Jason deduces is "Sister Mantis."

"Gamora, Drax!" Jason jumped out of the boat, hugged Gamora warmly, waved to Drax, and introduced Damian to his friend , "Come and meet my little brother, Damian. Damian, this is Gamora, she is an experienced fighter, if you ask her well, she may teach you a few tricks. This is Germany Lax is also a respectable warrior."

Damian nodded at Gamora and Drax as a greeting, and his gaze stayed on the opponent's weapon more often.

"I guess this is the younger brother of 'Little Devil'." Gamora didn't mind Damian's attitude too much, and even took the initiative to smile, "What about the other one? The one with a good personality? Peter misses him so much."

Jason pointed to the sky: "Backup, our last insurance."

"However, this kind of preparation is completely unnecessary, and we will never be so amateur that we need to rely on Drake to save the game." Damian said as if the idea of ​​being saved by Drake is a sin.

Jason shook his head amusedly, while Gamora raised his eyebrows and looked at Damian's age-inappropriate way of speaking with interest.Before she had a chance to introduce Mantis Girl to Jason and Damian, the woman with tentacles happily squatted in front of Damian and reached out to pinch Damian's cheek.

"Little brother, you are so cute... ah!" Sister Mantis didn't have time to pinch Damian's cheek when a shiny knife slashed in front of her, causing her to scream and take several steps back, scared The checks with their own hands are still not intact.

"You are not allowed to touch me without my permission." Damian put the knife back into its sheath neatly, and threatened the Mantis girl who seemed to be about to cry, "If there is another time, your hand will be ready to touch me." Separate your body."

"I'm sorry!" Sister Mantis quickly hid her hands behind her body, "I heard that when I first saw a child from Earth, they would pinch their cheeks to express their love for them."

"I'm not a child!" Damian's gloomy expression seemed to be about to carry out a massacre.Mantis Sister let out another small whimper.

"Of course you're a kid!" Drax exclaimed, pointing at Damian's lower body. "You're a kid until your dick stands up!"

Pulling Damian's collar to prevent him from assassinating the friendly army, Jason pointed to the small boat behind them and explained to Drax: "My father and Rocket will get off the boat later, Drax, you can talk to him Exchange a little dad's experience, and you will have a good chat."

Seeing that Drax was about to speak again to stimulate the nerves of others with his fresh, upright and unaffected speaking style, Jason could only keep throwing distress signals at Gamora: "Should we not keep Peter waiting too long? Let's start Go find Peter!"

Gamora seemed to be enjoying the mess, especially since Damian's reaction somehow entertained her greatly.Just when Jason thought she was about to open her mouth to add fuel to the hot atmosphere here, Gamora turned and walked towards the direction that looked like a grassland in the distance: "Come on, I'll take you to find Peter, Sister Mantis And Drax will treat Rocket and your dad well."

With great gratitude, Jason dragged Damian, who wanted to turn back and kill the mantis and the big guy, to follow Gamora's footsteps.

Mantis girl rubbed her hands aggrievedly, she just wanted to make some new friends, why is it so difficult?The complex social relationship between people is really a difficult science.

Peter's friend said that his father and Rocket were on the boat. She knew her well, a fluffy but fierce little dog.Maybe that dad would be more talkative?

When the figure of Batman appeared at the entrance of the boat, Mantis heard Hope's last wail before she died.

Drax walked over to Batman, from the two little spikes on his head to the black cape that swayed slightly in the breeze, he paid attention to every detail.

"Are you the ghost Jason's father?" Drax frowned, as if he saw a professor who was talking nonsense about the final report.

"I am." Batman nodded, since he was not sure what Drax was going to do, he simply stopped still and observed the other party's behavior.

Drax looked Batman left and right again, the expression on his face changed from confusion to sympathy, and then said something that made Batman wonder whether to punch him with a left hook or a right hook: "You should Get away at once from that woman you now call wife, who is out stealing men."

"Excuse me?" Batman tried to understand what code words were hidden in it, but there were too few clues for him to disassemble the deeper meaning from Drax's words.

Drax sighed, looking at Batman as if looking at the poor man who refused to face reality: "Your son is nothing like you, but it's not your fault. Separate from that woman immediately after you go back .”

"No. Jason and Damian are indeed my sons, I'm absolutely sure." Batman tried to correct him politely. He didn't know what Drax saw that made him make such an assertion, maybe it was an alien Mistakes caused by different ways of understanding things from humans, they must get rid of this irrelevant little misunderstanding as soon as possible, and then get down to business.

"Yeah, what are you doing, Drax, they're family for sure, you'll know if you're on the same boat with them." Rocket now misses Peter and his days of flying with music and trash talking.

Drax looked at Rocket in disbelief, then at Mantis Girl who was still wandering next to him, pointed at the little spike on Batman's head and shouted: "He has horns! Rocket, they look completely different !"

"Why on earth do you think that Yondu is Peter's father, and Jason's father is here, and you want to say that his father is the old man next door!" Rocket roared frantically, "Isn't it because he has a horn? Yondu is still blue!"

Batman looked at Drax, who was arguing with the raccoon on how to distinguish between his father and the old king next door, and suddenly felt that his task was long and difficult.Thinking about it now, he really shouldn't feel that colleagues in the Justice League often miss the point when doing things, or they are too frivolous and not rigorous at all.In fact, they were pretty good... At least they didn't disagree with each other and force the cuckold on his head.

Turning her attention to the mantis girl next to her, the other party's tentacles flickered, she blinked her extra-big eyes and looked at Batman, and then——

"Please, please don't cry." Batman awkwardly faced a young woman who started sobbing within three seconds of seeing each other, barely kneeling down and hugging her legs and yelling for mercy, "Ma'am, I didn't come hurt you."

At times like this, being around Drax and Rocket doesn't help the situation at all.

"You made the bug girl cry! Although she is ugly, you can't bully people like this!" If Jason hadn't told him that Drax was very straightforward, Batman would have thought he was using irony Law.

"That's enough, Drax, you just keep this kind of truth in your heart, why do you say it?" Putting it in the enemy's camp, Batman might praise Rocket in his heart for being a good finisher, but now he just I want to take tape to tie up the rocket's mouth.

Batman resisted the urge to sigh, stretched out his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, ignored the second round of quarrel between Drax and Rocket, and described his purpose of coming here to Mantis Girl as peacefully as possible, hoping to let the other party understand himself No malice.From the information he knew about this alien, she grew up on this uninhabited planet, and Ego regarded her as a pet that could be used. Because creatures that grow up in such an isolated environment are out of touch with society, Behavior is very weird in the eyes of others, but this does not mean that they do not have their own set of standards of good, bad, good and evil (but this set of standards may be somewhat different from that of the general public).

"We're here to help." Batman used the tone he used to comfort victims at the scene of the crime. He's not good at this, it's Robin's job. "We know Egg has plans for Peter Quill, and We don't want him to get hurt."

Mantis Girl looked at Batman's expression with a little fear. Her empathy ability needs to touch the other person to exert its greatest effect. Then she could feel the emotion radiated from the other party just by standing in front of her.

The man in black in front of me is completely incomparable with Yi Ge in terms of race and strength, but the emotional energy Mantis Girl feels from Batman is far from inferior to Yi Ge, which makes her very scared: " Are you his friend too?"

"No." Batman doesn't think he and Peter are friends, at most they just know each other, "Peter and I have no personal relationship."

"Then why?" Mantis sister tried to control her fear, telling herself that this person came with Peter's friends, and he was a good person (Drax was very sad to think of his dead child, a good person should be like this?).

"Because if he died, my son would be very sad." Batman honestly stated the main reason he came here, "Also, I don't think a father should use his children like Egg. I don't know Peter very well, but he's a kid who deserves to be treated well."

Mantis Girl stretched out her hand tremblingly, and stopped next to Batman's lower face: "If I touch you, I can feel your emotions right now, is that okay?"

Batman didn't speak, even his hands were raised, ready to intervene if Mantis touched him without permission.

"I... I just want to know you..." Mantis looked at Batman, trying to explain that she didn't want to control their emotions or do something bad, she had already learned from Gamora's reaction Knowing that some people don't like being touched, this person probably does too.

But this man made her feel too terrible, and she had to make sure that she couldn't leave the warning to someone more dangerous than Egg.

Batman is also watching Mantis Girl.

He could see that although the other party had an adult physique, he was still as innocent as a little girl in many ways.But her ability is still unknown, and Batman will not let the other party do it just because of a few pleas.

"No." He firmly refused, watching Mantis girl lowered her hand in frustration, stepped back a few steps and tried to pretend that nothing happened, raised her hand and signaled to take them to Peter.

When Mantis Girl turned around and started to lead the way, Batman took off the glove on one hand, and quickly stepped forward to cut her hands behind her back with the gloved hand, and cut her hands behind her back with the other hand. He pinched the mantis girl's neck and kept himself in a position where he could get rid of the opponent and fight back at any time.

Mantis Girl exclaimed first, and Drax next to her yelled: "Let her go!", but Batman turned a deaf ear to it. He focused on feeling his own heart, ready to resist possible mind control or other hypnotic brainwashing at any time. trick.

As the tentacles on Mantis Girl's forehead lit up, she stood there in a daze, her eyes widened, her eyelashes fluttering as if thrown into an emotional storm.

Batman was violently thrown away from Mantis Girl by Drax. The big muscular man helped Mantis Girl to stand firmly in a gentle posture that did not conform to his appearance, and blocked Batman and the other party. Watching Batman warily.

The mantis girl, who was blocked by Drax, covered her neck and panted, looking at Batman as if she was looking at a rare and exotic beast in the universe: "You feel love—to your children. Even if you are not connected by blood, you still Feel the love."

"Yes." Batman nodded solemnly, of course he loves his children, Dick, Jason, Tim and Damian.While he can't guarantee that the attention he gives to each child will be exactly equal, he's always trying.Even though he was always screwing up each kid in turn, he tried to be the dad his kids needed.

They are family.No matter how dysfunctional, full of secrets and violence and fights that never end.

They can always turn to their family members when they need a hug or a shoulder or even a human beanbag.

Mantis Girl jumped over Drax and rushed to Batman, telling him with a very serious look: "You must leave quickly, Egg has got what he wants, and you will all be in danger!"

Batman was about to ask further what the danger was, and Drax spoke "frankly" again: "I just said his wife stole a man! Sister Mantis told you the dark little secret deep in your heart! Don't you deny!"

Would it work if he stabbed Drax to death with a batarang here and pretended to be Egg?
