Daily life [Zhongyingmei]

When Steve and Bruce Wayne came back, they saw two boys wrapped in gauze and glaring at each other.

"Benny?" Steve's blue eyes were surprised for a moment, and then became distressed.

He hadn't seen a little boy with so many injuries since Benny was with Steve.Even if Steve is used to getting hurt, a broken bone is not a big deal, but it's not the same as raising a child.Beside him, the little boy who had managed to grow baby fat and became white and tender had a bruised and swollen face, and blood on his fingers. Although the skin was not broken, Steve still felt very heartbroken.

"It's nothing." Benny said with a straight face, unnaturally, "We——practiced fighting for a while."

He waved his hand deliberately, pretending that it didn't hurt at all.In fact, Benny felt quite painful. He hadn't been injured for a long time, but he didn't want to show it in front of Steve. For the experienced Captain America, wouldn't this injury be too delicate?

"—Damian." Bruce said with certainty, staring at his bear son expressionlessly.He didn't need to watch the surveillance to know that Damian must have started the whole thing.

"Master, you are finally back." The old butler breathed a sigh of relief from the side, and the faint smile on his face has not faded since he saw the two boys fighting, and Bruce Wayne's expression tightened when he saw it, "So, I can also clean the garden with peace of mind."

"How's the situation?" Alfred asked again without haste.

"We didn't find an apartment building," Bruce replied cautiously.When the old butler was angry, he couldn't bear it, so he answered carefully.

Benny stared suspiciously at the ugly old butler.He is ordinary, but it seems that Batman is afraid of him?

"Maybe we have to go again at night, or maybe the devil knows our intentions and controls us so that we can no longer see the apartment building." Steve lowered his eyes and said thoughtfully.

"Go again at night." Bruce didn't get the result, but his expression was already settled, and he had a plan in mind.

Even if they still can't find the apartment building tonight, and the Red Hood is still active in Gotham, they can always be sure if he is Jason, and if he is in collusion with the devil.

"I'll arrange the guest room." Saying this means that the two guests will be staying at Wayne Manor today.Alfred turned and went upstairs in relief, and the old butler's mood improved again.

The master finally has a few friends who are willing to stay overnight. It is a pity that the guest rooms were empty before.

Today's dinner is still prepared by the old butler. The butler looks like an old-fashioned British gentleman. Fortunately, the food he cooks is quite fashionable and flexible, and there are all kinds of food from all over the world. Benny is quietly relieved.

——Although he has a British accent, he is not used to British food.

Steve also went out with Bruce at night, and Benny obediently went back to the guest room arranged for him.His magic power could detect that there was another person in Wayne Manor, but that person hadn't shown up today, which made Benny very curious.

Is it Tim Drake?The three generations of Robin in the data?

No matter who it is, it is said that people in the bat family like to travel at night and catch up on sleep during the day.Today Bruce Wayne and Damian were awake all day during the day, wondering if they would have the energy to patrol around Gotham City after investigating the demons at night.

I saw Batman today... I just need to go to Metropolis to meet Superman, and the mission of this trip will be completed.He has always heard about the power of Superman, and it is indeed an existence that people yearn for.Benny is vaguely looking forward to it, hoping that Superman will be stronger than he imagined, and it would be great if everyone can successfully stop the future war... But I don't know if he will still be in this era by then...

Benny was thinking wildly, and because he was injured, he didn't dare to send a message to his family, so he could only go back to bed early in boredom.

In recent months, his ptsd has eased a lot, and his nightmares have become less frequent, but the dreams that predict the future have gradually disappeared. Most of the time, Benny has a normal sleep.

But tonight, as soon as that strange feeling hit, Benny realized that he had entered a precognitive dream again.

……

This dream was different from the previous ones.

Although it is the same scene in the Malibu villa and Benny's bedroom, many items are different from what Benny saw in the past, and many changes have taken place.

The short children's bed was replaced with a single bed, and the bed sheet of the cartoon dolphin became a superman-style sea blue plus s logo. The wooden table was stained with the traces of the years and began to look old. There were large and small children's stickers on the floor. Already mottled and yellowed, a large desk was added beside the original window, connected to the folded bookcase above, with an ingenious structure.

The most eye-catching thing is a row of group photos on the shelf of the bookcase——

Benny found that every time he got the information in his dream, he mostly found it from photos.He walked over and carefully looked at these newly appeared group photos, already vaguely guessing in his mind.

... In one, the curly-haired little boy has grown a lot taller, standing in front of his father with a bright smile, and the two of them are standing in front of a big tree at the entrance of the villa foolishly, gesticulating their height with their hands.

The other is a family of five, from the Howards to the Tonys, including little Benny, all put on swimsuits, straw hats and sunglasses.Tony Stark was holding a full bucket in his hand, Pepper was holding a fishing rod, and the blue and calm sea was in the distance.Little Benny, who had lost half of the baby fat on his cheeks, was holding a pack of bait, and was proudly tilting his chin up.

The third one is more ordinary.

Benny was celebrating his birthday, and he put on a floral shirt with strange aesthetics, surrounded by a circle of friends, big and small.There are many adults standing in the distance.The one who put his hands on top of Benny's head and smiled proudly was Damian, who had grown into a teenager, and sitting on the other side was a beautiful girl with long brown hair, with a sweet and sly smile, and bright eyes, as if there was something inside. Full of stars.

"..." Benny was attracted by her all of a sudden, he was shocked, and he stared blankly.

so beautiful!

Behind the girl stood a strange man, whom Benny guessed was her father.He carefully took note of the man's appearance secretly. All the people attending this birthday party were superheroes and their descendants. So maybe the girl and the man are also superheroes he will meet in the future?

Benny came back to his senses, followed the road in his dream, walked out of the corridor, and headed to the lobby on the first floor.

The arrangement of various vases in the corridor was also vaguely different from before, and the furniture in the living room changed subtly. Benny went to the underground laboratory. Tony Stark and Benny Jr. were indeed here.The moment he saw his young self, Benny already had a conclusion in his mind.

——Sure enough, a long time has passed.

Visually, the little Benny in the dream looks as old as the real Benny. Is he seven or eight years old?

in the laboratory.

Tony Stark in the dream also seemed quite absent-minded. Although he was fiddling with the pile of parts in front of the table, he glanced at the area belonging to Benny in the corner from time to time.

"What's the matter?" Little Benny in the dream couldn't help but raised his head and asked, with a puzzled expression on his face, "Hey, daddy, you are really weird today."

He thought about it for a while, and his brows frowned: "It was also when my mother left after lunch. Do you have something... United is hiding it from me? Don't lie!"

Being stared at by the little boy relentlessly, Tony Stark only hesitated for a moment, then raised his hands in surrender: "Ok, ok, Baby Carrot, I won't hide it from you—but I hope you can keep calm for a while. "

There was a teasing or sly smile in Tony's caramel eyes, because it was too fast and fleeting to make it difficult to see, he raised a finger and solemnly added again: "Keep calm, know that I Waited for this moment for a long time."

"...?" Little Benny stared at him suspiciously, and couldn't help but start thinking.The boy’s eyes were unavoidably a little apprehensive, but he was still trying to maintain his composure on his face, and said firmly, “Of course I can remain calm, after all, I’m a member of the Teenage Superhero League… what you’re going to say isn’t about my bed-wetting black boy.” history?"

"Such as filming a black history video collection, and releasing it as a 'surprise' on my birthday?" Benny guessed with a grim expression.

"No." Tony simply vetoed it.

"Then...or some old-fashioned birthday surprise? For example, Dad Rogers wearing a dancing girl costume." Benny was whimsical, but he still had some expectations when he thought of this kind of picture.

"Yes—Grandpa Steve." Tony didn't care about answering the question itself, and re-corrected unhappy, "You still called it that when you were a child, why did you change it?"

"He told me I could call him Uncle Steve." Benny retorted innocently.

"Then why did you call 'Daddy Steve'?!" Tony's face darkened, he folded his arms suddenly, tapped his index finger on the arms, and waited for the big cub's reply unkindly.

"He said he was my adoptive father in the legal process, and he secretly showed me the documents and group photos last time! Why do I have no memory at all?" Benny was delighted and puzzled.But he just said it casually, and then put it behind him in a blink of an eye, and laughed happily, "It's so cool! I must tell Damian and Casey tonight!"

"That's the problem." Tony stopped being jealous when he heard this passage. He looked at his son with a delicate expression, his eyes could be called pity, and said calmly, "Your mother and I have a simple meal for you at noon today. Do you know why this year's birthday is so special and no one else came?"

"Isn't it just to...invite everyone to a grand birthday party in the evening?" The curly-haired boy's fat was almost gone, and he gradually revealed a hint of youthfulness.He stared at his father puzzled, the smile on his face disappeared, his always keen premonition suddenly felt something was wrong, and he couldn't figure out where the uneasiness came from.

"According to what your mother told me, the time you were actually born was..." Tony clicked on the virtual screen and looked at it for a few seconds, and reported a number, "48:5 in the afternoon, it was 2 minutes later, we talked— — Now it’s [-] minutes later.”

"Then?" Benny's voice was a little dry, "I don't understand, what's the point of pursuing this now."

The usually lively and cheerful boy became uneasy. Even if Tony was waiting to see the joke, he couldn't help but soften his heart. He beckoned the curly-haired boy over and took him into his arms to comfort him.Benny naturally sat up on Tony's legs, raised his head and looked questioningly, waiting for an answer.

"It's not that I won't say it now. If I want to make it clear, 2 minutes is not enough. When you recover your memory, you will know everything yourself." Tony cleared his throat and turned his head away.When it came time to watch a joke, he didn't seem to know how to face it.

"Huh?" Little Benny in the dream was still confused.

Benny, who was watching, understood, and he also waited silently and expectantly.

Two minutes later... Benny's real birth time was eight years ago. Tony Stark in the dream said a long time ago that the memory can only be restored when "Benny" is eight years old.This memory - it is the past when Benny led everyone into various dungeons in modern times, fought hard with Tony Stark, and fought with Damian!

In the future, Benny has lost this memory since he was reborn. He grew up happily like an ordinary child, sincerely admiring and adoring his heroic father, relying on his gentle and amiable mother, even Brother Damian Also a great playmate.But if once the memory is restored——

Benny, who was on the sidelines, felt that his ears were burning with embarrassment just thinking about it.

It's such a shame!

With him, Tony Stark has long since lost the lofty aura of being a father. The father and son bicker every day. The main reason is that no one is willing to give up voluntarily, as if he has lost. The result is terrible for Tony and Benny. It's going to kill me.He still hates Damian, and they just got into a fight today.

The self in the dream acted like a baby to Stark since he was a child, without any worries, and Stark had seen all the embarrassing things.No matter how you look at it, Benny lost for eight years without knowing it!How embarrassing!

Thinking about it this way, Benny felt that he didn't even want to go back to the future.

Cough, but—the problem is, even if Benny is almost angry, he still cares about a problem in his heart.

If, in the future, Benny recovers all his memories—state in advance that he doesn’t care about it, doesn’t like it, just assume, this is just a reasonable question—if he restores his memory, Tony Stark in his dream is not If you spoil him as much as you did in the past eight years, but change back to the modern way of getting along with each other, then...

Benny stared at the time on the virtual screen in the dream tangled, and suppressed the feeling in his heart in anger.

Time is up.
