[Comprehensive British and American] Gotham Nightingale

"You haven't eaten all day, B."

Most of the usual dinner time in Wayne Manor had passed, and Diana Prince went up the stairs to meet Alfred's begging eyes, and came to Bruce Wayne's bedroom door and knocked lightly on the door.

Wonder Woman leaned against the door, her voice full of comfort: "Is the wound medicine ready? Maybe I can help you."

It took a full half a minute before the man's tired and dull response came from the dark wooden door: "I'm not hungry, Diana, you and Trevor can eat first."

Captain Steve Trevor, who was standing not far behind Diana, shook his head slightly. After his lover looked over, he gestured to her a gesture commonly used by the army during World War I.

--"wheelchair".

Diana looked back and knocked on the door again: "Steve and I don't care, but Professor Xavier is the first time visiting guest. As the host, you can't leave him alone here."

Charles, who was sitting by the fireplace on the first floor drinking tea with Hank, seemed to sense something, and looked up gently.

"...Oh, yes, sorry...Professor X."

After a while in the room, there was a more ambiguous response, as if it came from the situation where his hands were covering his face.

He seemed to remember that there were guests in the manor.

This kind of mistake is simply too unimaginable for Batman.

Diana waited outside the door worriedly for a while before hearing approaching footsteps.

However, when the door opened, standing in front of them again was the neatly dressed Batman with a firm face, one of the leaders of the Justice League.

Handsome, tall and straight, calm and calm.

——except for the red blood in his eyes that could not fade due to the previous emotional ups and downs, and the faint smell of medicine for bruises on his body.

To be honest, if it wasn't for the fight between the father and son, the roar of the red hood on one side and the silence on the other side, the embarrassed Dick and the even more embarrassed Tim... Diana almost thought that nothing happened this morning.

But only almost.

Thinking of the murderous and hysterical Jason Todd she and Steve saw when they arrived at Wayne Manor, even a demigod who had lived for so many years couldn't help but have a headache.

……

According to Dick, at eight o'clock in the morning, Jason, who couldn't be woken up by any means, suddenly opened his eyes, and his whole body was like a piece of frozen Arctic soil.

He recognized almost everyone at that time, but he didn't have any emotional fluctuations about it, only thinking about the task object he needed to capture or kill alive.

——but when they asked him who was the target of the mission, Red Hood couldn't answer.

After that, it was Charles' home field.

Due to the difference in the energy system between the X gene and the Dionysian factor (the method used by the Owl Court to control the claws), it took Professor X several hours to undo the shackles of consciousness that the Owl Court had placed under the red hood.

And when Jason finally regained consciousness...

Diana sighed deeply.

The other party's black hair and blue eyes, which are very characteristic of the Bat family, can vaguely remind people of the elegant demeanor of Wayne's adopted son.

But the extreme hostility and anger dyed in his eyebrows, the intense love and hatred that broke out after being suppressed for several years...

It's like volcanic magma bursting out after many years, with a shocking desire to destroy.

Jason hated the Joker, hated Batman, and hated the new Red Robin who replaced him.

It is difficult to put this hatred in order, but undoubtedly his love and hatred for Bruce Wayne are the most complicated and intense.

Obviously, the second-generation Robin, who was originally irritable, went to another extreme after "resurrecting from the dead".

In this case, he and Bruce Wayne fought in Wayne Manor and almost demolished the house...

It's just a matter of course.

……

Diana and Steve stood side by side on the stairs, watching Bruce's tall back gradually walking down the hall.

"Will he come back?" Captain Trevor asked softly, holding Diana's shoulder.

This "he" refers to the red hood who left Wayne Manor with a blank face after the fierce fight with his moves towards the fatal point.

If you really want to stop it, there are so many people present at Wayne Manor, of course they can stop Jason, not to mention Charles, who is the most powerful psychic mutant.

But Bruce didn't do that.

So in the afternoon, everyone could only watch Jason's broad back disappear outside the manor.

Diana rubbed her head against his face, and replied in a low voice, "Hatred will control his behavior for a while, but I can see clearly that he has love in his heart...he is a boy from the Bat family."

The members of the Bat family, no matter how they change, they can't bend the backbone that belongs to this family alone.

"Maybe he and B... between them... just need an opportunity."

Diana added uncertainly.

"I have a hunch it's close."

Captain Steve Trevor blinked his blue eyes: "Is that good or bad?"

Diana: "...hey honey, I don't know how to prophesy."

Captain Trevor had to blink again, sending sincere approval to his lover's inconsistent words.

"However, most of the real prophecies are decided by the parties themselves." Wonder Woman chuckled, "What kind of people they really are, what kind of path they will take, no matter how many twists and turns there are in the middle..."

"Human beings are amazing, and that's one of the reasons I love this world."

The lover who embraced her also laughed, as hearty as when they first met decades ago:

"And that's one of the reasons I love you, Diana."

……

Although the thrilling things happened, today's dinner is still rich.

Alfred seemed to have the ability to restore the manor to order under any circumstances.

Smoked fresh shrimp and refreshing white wine, hot thick soup and lamb chops poured with secret sauce, asparagus and broccoli are just nestled in the dinner plate, ushering in the most classic and delicious alford cookies .

——If he hadn't overheard the old butler muttering "Master Jason used to like cookies with chopped chocolate", Tim would probably have thought that the chaos of the previous day was a dream.

Turning his head from the kitchen, the young Red Robin saw the unstoppable Professor X looking at him too.

As if guessing what Tim was thinking, Charles gave him a reassuring smile.

Tim knew he should be wary at this moment—the ability to read people's minds is the most taboo of the Bat-family—but he didn't think he could.

He couldn't help thinking about it, thinking, what purpose did Professor X and Researcher Hank seem to have—the purpose of staying in Gotham.

Because under normal circumstances, after something like this morning happened, normal people would choose to leave the place where the accident happened first.

"A very good dinner, Mr. Pennyworth."

After the meal, Professor X took the lead in thanking Alfred.

Then, under Bruce Wayne's probing eyes, he finally revealed another reason for today's visit.

"I believe that you have long noticed the recent strangeness in Gotham."

Ye Yi covered the black corner of his mouth (being beaten by Jason) and muttered: "There is no such thing as a day in Gotham..."

Charles laughed: "Maybe... But I'm talking about the abnormal situation on the side of the mutants."

Ye Yi continued to mutter: "Oh yes, the crocodile man, the fire man, the newspapers in the streets and alleys are saying..."

Hank pushed his glasses and couldn't help but refute him: "No, to be precise, those man-made mutants without the X gene don't belong to our definition of mutants."

Bruce glanced lightly at Ye Yi, who closed his mouth and zipped it with his hands.

Without the young man who disturbed the situation, the atmosphere in the hall fell silent for a while.

"So...the person behind the scenes is your kind?"

Batman's voice in his non-armored state is not hoarse, nor is it as elegant and affectionate as in the state of "Bruce Wayne". At this moment, his voice is serious and deep, like the most stable cello in the orchestra pressing the strings Portamento issued.

When he speaks, everyone's attention will naturally focus on him.

This question made Charles think for a moment.

"Actually, it doesn't count. My personal suspicion is that the person who played the most critical role in the entire plan of this underground organization is our kind."

"But with my ability, I only noticed His existence once ten years ago, and I haven't heard from him for ten years since then, as if that feeling was imagined by me. Until recently, I felt His breath enveloped Gotham. "

"If we can't stop his spread, maybe the case of the apocalypse will reappear."

"He may be..."

"The most powerful mutant ever."

Charles concluded: "...He is like Source."

Bruce was silent for a moment: "—[source]."

The author has something to say: He——(not he/she/it) refers to the gods.
