Gordon, who was at the dining table, quickly pressed Barbara's hand. At the same time, he looked at Barbara's side face with some confusion, looked her up and down, and asked: "Why are you so skillful in pulling out a gun? Come on. Is it a police academy?" Barbara's shocked thoughts were stagnant for a moment, and she instinctively replied: "No, it was Batman who trained me." Gordon's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he raised his voice and said: "Batman asked you to be a policeman? What's the relationship between you two?!"
"I...no, wait a minute, why is the clown here? Isn't this the biggest question now?!"
"The biggest problem is your relationship with Batman!" Gordon turned around and glared at Bruce who didn't understand. He lowered his voice and looked at Barbara and said, "Did that damn playboy lie to you?!"
"Of course not!" Barbara turned and glared at Gordon. She would not allow anyone to smear Batman. She also raised her voice and said, "Batman has not deceived anyone in the Bat Family! I know him!"
"How much do you know about him and you say you know him?! How do you know he has no evil intentions?" Gordon glanced at Bruce who was already sitting down. He lowered his voice and said through gritted teeth: "Stupid girl, You don’t even know that a man is acting like a gangster by asking you to wear tights, right?”
"I wore that voluntarily!"
"That's because you thought you were wearing it voluntarily!" Gordon looked around, and he tugged Barbara's arm to keep her away from the dining table, mainly to keep her away from Bruce. The two of them were almost completely Gordon said after leaving the table.
"Bruce Wayne has graduated from Schiller! He can completely mess with your brain and make you do what he says, but don't tell me that you are really fascinated by him?!" Barbara was about to open her mouth to speak. , Gordon looked into her eyes and said: "To say the least, he and Selena have not broken up. When Hallie came back to my place last time, she complained that he had to fight Selena for at least two hours every day. The phone call...a breakup is better than a wedding!"
"Barbara, don't be joking. Tell me seriously, are you even a little obsessed with Batman in every aspect? Not at all?" Barbara opened her mouth, and then suddenly fell silent.
The red-haired girl bit her lip and turned her head away. Gordon looked at her face and showed a real expression. He took a deep breath, and his mind was full of hatred for the iron.
As a result, at this time, he heard Bruce holding Damian across the dining table say: "If you are my son in that universe, then who is your mother? Selena?"
"Catwoman? My mother is not a Catwoman. Look at her slutty look, does it look like she will give birth to a child for you? Although my mother is not much better." Damian picked up a skewer and He bit the meat and pulled out the stick, saying angrily.
"Then who is she?"
"Talia, Talia Xiaogu, the daughter of your nemesis Ray Xiaogu, I don't know if you have met her now. If not, remember to bring a condom with you." Gordon sprayed out his beer with a sip of beer. When he came out, he grabbed Barbara's arm and said, "The Bruce Wayne in your universe is already married and has children?! You still..."
"You don't understand." Barbara exhaled through her nose rather irritably. She picked up the draft beer cup and took two sips of beer, and said: "The matter between him and Thalia is very complicated, and it is not appropriate to describe it as love. "
"Is love the right word to describe you?"
"We are not in love either!"
"Then you said you were obsessed with him?"
"That's just admiration!" Then Damian from across the table said, "However, it seems that Batman wanted to marry Catwoman before, but it didn't happen."
"You're not even the second pick?!" Gordon said, raising his voice.
"Can you shut up and eat the skewers?"
"I am your father!"
"You are not yet! The dying struggle of an abandoned stray dog!" Gordon was almost shocked.
Bruce brought Damian a separate pony, and he sat on it, eating meat while reaching for his beer glass.
Bruce moved smoothly and removed the glass before his hand touched the handle, then handed him a glass of ice juice.
"I can drink!" Damian said, glaring at him. Damian has mentally prepared what Batman will say in response to his education. He knows what Batman will say, such as
"Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol, either legally or morally."
"Drinking alcohol is harmful to health",
"Alcohol numbs the brain," Damian has seen Batman tell the Teen Titans at parties.
As a result, Bruce said: "If you are drunk, I will throw you to the clown." Damian's hand was retracted so fast that an afterimage appeared.
"What's going on?" The Gordons and their daughter, who were so far away that they were almost sitting at a table alone, were holding skewers of meat in one hand and pouring beer glasses into the other. Barbara asked, glancing at the green-haired figure on the table next to her.
"That's Jack, a mental patient, but the director of the mental hospital couldn't stand him, so he had to leave him outside."
"Oh my God, he killed so many people, why don't you arrest him?"
"Arrest him, and then what? He will be tried, diagnosed with mental problems, sent to a mental hospital but kicked out by doctors, his truck will be robbed by others, and he will have no money to eat to retaliate against society and kill more people?"
"Then you shouldn't have dinner with him, right?"
"It shouldn't be. It was the first time in my life that I got a royal flush in Texas Hold'em poker, and he stole a card." Barbara has a thousand things to say, including various philosophies, society, and human nature. question, but in the end she opened her mouth and asked: "Then how did you teach him a lesson?"
"I handcuffed him, but I can't bring him back to the police station. He will continue to steal the cards from the night shift policemen. Those young people are not as good-tempered as me. He might Beaten to death."
"This universe is really crazy!" Barbara said rather self-defeatingly. She took a deep breath and tried hard to regain the rational state of the Oracle.
Gordon stretched his neck forward and asked tentatively: "Do you really just admire Batman?"
"Of course the members of the Bat Family gather around Batman because they admire him." Barbara explained hard: "I never imagined that having a relationship with someone of the opposite sex who is very different from me in age would be like that. This kind of feeling...I don’t lack fatherly love!" Gordon immediately became wary and said, "Then the age difference is not big enough?"
"Wait a minute, you said before that in your universe Barbara and I had never had any conflicts, and we got married very young. Before Barbara and I broke up, we really considered getting married. If we had If we really get married successfully, then we will have children about a year after marriage."
"Let me do the math. If you were born at that time, and I brought you to Gotham, met Batman, and hung out with the Wayne family, then someone who is not much different from you in age...do you like Dick? ! Barbara's face suddenly turned red. She glared at Gordon angrily and gritted her teeth and said, "Should I still call you Detective Mr. Gordon?" ! "Gordon raised his head, slapped the table hard, and let out a long sigh. He stretched out his arm and put the beer glass on the distant table, glanced at Bruce, and said, "Well, Dick is better than Wayne, too. How far are you at? Have safety measures been taken? "
"The two of us have broken up." Barbara took two swigs of beer and said, "He will return to Blüdhaven until he dies."
"Oh my god, how old were you back then?"
"It wasn't that time..." Barbara pursed her lips, as if she was lost in memories. After a while, she threw away the sign in her hand impatiently and said, "Batman's Robins have all gone through it. Dick and Jason are the first to bear the brunt of some bad things. Blüdhaven is Dick's hometown. Maybe he wants to remember his parents there, and I have no reason to stop him."
"In memory of his parents?" Gordon said with some surprise: "Did his parents pass away? Is it an illness?" It was Barbara's turn to be surprised. She looked at Gordon and said, "Dick was killed because of his parents. He was adopted by Batman only after killing him. If his parents had not died, how could he have become the adopted son of the Wayne family?"
"I don't know about this, but Dick's parents are indeed alive. He will go to Blüdhaven to spend the weekend with them." Barbara's breathing immediately became rapid, and she stretched out a hand to grab Gordon. The sleeves of the clothes said: "The Graysons are still alive? Are they in Blüdhaven now?"
"Yes."
"Then why doesn't Dick live with them?"
"Because Blüdhaven is a small city." Gordon spread his hands and said, "The educational resources there are far behind compared to Gotham. After all, Gotham is one of the most developed cities on the East Coast."
"After the accidental death of Flyer Grayson, the Grayson couple left a big shadow. They were afraid that their son would suffer the same tragedy, so they did not want him to inherit the Grayson family. They did not want Dick to continue to be a trapeze artist. They I want him to study hard and go to college."
"But there is a very real problem. Dick is already very old, and it is easy to be unable to keep up when he returns to school at this time."
"Dick is not a genius in reading. Even a genius still needs the guidance of a good teacher. His progress is already lagging behind. Without a good school and teachers, it will be difficult for him to enter college."
"After the decline of the Grayson family, they couldn't even touch the threshold of the middle class. They can only live in Bludhaven. They didn't have the educational resources to let Dick change his destiny through reading."
"So even if they miss their children, they can only let Dick stay in Gotham and go to a good school. With Bruce Wayne sponsoring him, he can receive the most orthodox elite education. In addition to going to a prestigious school, he can also have what others want. Resources that I couldn’t even imagine.”
"It's very realistic, but cruel. If Dick just returns to Bludhaven, he may be a small town boy for the rest of his life, but if he is Wayne's adopted son, then he will be the most accomplished member of the Grayson family. .”
"Is he, is he happy?" Barbara didn't even know where she should stand in asking this question: "Doesn't he miss his parents?"
"Of course I miss you." Gordon sighed when he said this. He turned to look at Bruce and said.
"But to a certain extent, the fatherly love that Bruce Wayne can give him is completely different from the Graysons."
"He can truly teach him, not just take care of him. They can have a collision of ideas and an exchange of knowledge. Dick can get more love and understanding from him than anyone else." Barbara also turned her head. Looking at Bruce, he was pouring juice for Damian. The demon boy was very close to him, even pressed against his arm. The Batman of this universe seemed like a good father.
Or maybe a miracle will happen, Barbara thought, and there will always be a universe where Batman is a good father, right?
"You mean, my parents are still alive?!" In Dick's room in Wayne Manor, Nightwing stared in surprise at Dick, who was leaning on the bed and yawning.
"Those are my parents." Dick closed his eyes and said, "Of course, they should be no different from your parents. Is this why you came to me to ask?"
"Not originally, but now you have to tell me where they are!"
"Where else could they be? Bludhaven." Dick was very perfunctory. He was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes.
Nightwing opened the door and rushed into the corridor, hurried downstairs, and then ran into a high dark wall.
In a panic, his mask fell off, and he looked up. A man in formal attire, who looked a bit like Bruce Wayne but much older, was hit by him and covered his forehead.
After the two looked at each other for two seconds, an angry roar echoed in Wayne Manor.
"Dick Wayne! How many times have I told you to go to bed before nine o'clock?!" Dick was stunned.
"What did you call me???"
