Chapter 1445: Flying Birds and Returning (VI)
Gordon at the dining table hurriedly pressed Barbara's hand, and at the same time, he looked at Barbara's side profile with some doubt, looked her up and down, and asked: "Why is your action of drawing a gun so skilled? Did you go to police school?"
Barbara's shocked thoughts were stagnant for a moment, and she instinctively answered: "No, Batman trained me."
Gordon's brow furrowed tighter, he raised his tone and said: "Batman let you be a policeman? What is the relationship between you two?!"
"I... No, wait a minute, why is the Joker here? Isn't this the biggest problem right now?!"
"The biggest problem is your relationship with Batman!"
Gordon turned his head and glared at the clueless Bruce. He lowered his tone and looked at Barbara, saying: "Did that damn playboy lie to you?!"
"Of course not!" Barbara also turned her head and glared at Gordon. She didn't allow anyone to smear Batman. She also raised her tone and said: "Batman has never lied to anyone in the Bat-family! I understand him!"
"How much do you know about him to say you understand him?! How do you know he doesn't have ulterior motives?" Gordon glanced at Bruce, who had already sat down, again. He lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, saying: "Stupid girl, you wouldn't even know that a man asking you to wear tights is being a hooligan, would you?!"
"I wore it voluntarily!"
"That's because you thought you wore it voluntarily!"
Gordon looked left and right. He pulled Barbara's arm, letting her stay away from the dining table, mainly letting her stay away from Bruce. The two had almost completely left the dining table before Gordon said.
"Bruce Wei En graduated from Shiler's hands! He can completely mess up your brain and make you follow his every word. Don't tell me you're really infatuated with him?!"
Barbara just wanted to open her mouth to speak, but Gordon looked into her eyes and said: "Taking a step back, he and Selina haven't broken up. When Harley returned to me last time, she complained that he had to talk to Selina on the phone for at least two hours every day... A newlywed couple is better than a newlywed!"
"Barbara, stop joking, tell me seriously, are you even a little bit infatuated with Batman in any aspect? Not even a little bit?"
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 an 'as expected' expression. He took a deep breath, his mind full of hatred for iron not becoming steel.
As a result, at this time, he heard Bruce, who was holding Damian on the opposite side of the dining table, say: "If you are my son in that universe, then who is your mother? Selina?"
"Catwoman? My mother can't be Catwoman. Look at her slutty look, does it look like she would give birth to a child for you? Although my mother isn't much better." Damian picked up a meat skewer, bit the meat, pulled out the skewer, and said in a bad mood.
"Then who is she?"
"Talia, Talia al Ghul, the daughter of your nemesis Ra's al Ghul. I don't know if you've met her yet. If you haven't, remember to carry condoms with you."
Gordon sprayed a mouthful of beer and grabbed Barbara's arm tightly, saying: "The Bruce Wei En of that universe is married and has children?! And you..."
"You don't understand." Barbara said with some annoyance, exhaling through her nose. She picked up the beer mug and drank two gulps of beer, saying: "His relationship with Talia is very complicated, and it's not appropriate to describe it with love."
"Then is it appropriate to describe you with love?"
"We are not love either!"
"Then why did you say you were infatuated with him?"
"That's just worship!"
Then they heard Damian on the other side of the table say: "However, Batman seemed to be about to marry Catwoman before, but later it didn't happen."
"You're not even the second choice?!" Gordon raised his tone and said.
"Can you shut up and eat skewers?"
"I'm your father!"
"You're not yet! The death struggle of an abandoned stray dog!"
Gordon almost had to press his philtrum.
Bruce took a separate small stool for Damian. He sat on it, eating meat in big mouthfuls, and reached for the beer mug.
Bruce moved smoothly and took the mug away before his hand touched the handle, then handed him a glass of ice juice.
"I can drink!" Damian glared at him and said.
Damian had already prepared the rhetoric to deal with Batman's education in his heart. He knew what Batman would say, such as "Minors cannot drink alcohol regardless of legal or moral levels," "Drinking is harmful to health," "Alcohol paralyzes the brain," etc. Damian had seen Batman warn the Teen Titans at parties like this.
As a result, Bruce said: "If you get drunk, I'll throw you to the Joker."
Damian's hand retracted so fast it appeared as a blur.
"What's going on?" Barbara, who was already far away at a separate table with her father, glanced at the green-haired figure at the next table and asked.
"That's Jack, he's a mental patient, but even the director of the mental hospital can't stand him, so he can only stay outside."
"My god, he killed so many people, don't you arrest him?"
"Arrest him, and then what? Accept trial, identify mental problems, send to a mental hospital, get kicked out by the doctor, have his truck stolen by others, have no money to eat, and kill more people to retaliate against society?"
"Then you shouldn't eat at the same table with him, right?"
"It shouldn't be, but this was the first time I got a royal flush in Texas Hold'em in my life, and he stole a card."
Barbara had ten thousand things she wanted to say, including various philosophical, social, and human nature issues, but in the end, what she opened her mouth to ask was: "Then how do you teach him a lesson?"
"I handcuffed him, but I couldn't possibly take him back to the police station. He would repeatedly steal cards from the hands of the young policemen on night duty. Those young people don't have as good a temper as I do, and he might be beaten to death."
"This universe is really crazy!" Barbara said with some self-abandonment. She took a deep breath, wanting to find the rational state of Oracle.
Gordon stretched his neck forward and tentatively asked: "Are you really just worshiping Batman?"
"Members of the Bat-family are naturally gathered around Batman because of worship." Barbara tried hard to explain: "I never envisioned having that kind of romantic relationship between opposite sexes with someone whose age is so different from mine... I'm not lacking fatherly love!"
Gordon immediately became vigilant and said: "Then age isn't that different?"
"Wait, you said before that you and Barbara didn't have conflicts in your universe, and you married very early. When you and Barbara hadn't broken up, you really considered the issue of marriage. If you really succeeded in getting married at that time, then you would probably have a child a year after marriage."
"Let me calculate, if you were born at that time, and I brought you to Cat Getan, met Batman, mixed with the Wei En family, then the one whose age is not much different from yours..."
Barbara's face turned red instantly. She glared at Gordon with anger and gritted her teeth, saying: "Do I still have to call you Detective Gordon?"
Gordon raised his head, slapped the table hard, sighed to the sky, put his arm on the table, placed the beer mug on a distant table, glanced at Bruce, and then said: "Okay, Dick is better than Wei En. How far have you progressed? Did you take safety measures?"
"We two have already broken up." Barbara poured two big gulps of beer and said: "He insisted on returning to Blüdhaven."
"My god, how old were you at that time?"
"That wasn't..."
Barbara pursed her lips, as if falling into memories. After a while, she said with some annoyance, throwing away the skewer in her hand: "The Robins of Batman have all experienced some bad things. Dick and Jason bore the brunt. Blüdhaven is Dick's hometown. Perhaps he wants to cherish the memory of his parents there. I have no reason to stop him."
"Cherish the memory of his parents?" Gordon said with some surprise: "Did his parents pass away? Was it illness?"
This time it was Barbara's turn to be surprised. She looked at Gordon and said: "Dick was adopted by Batman because his parents were killed. If his parents hadn't died, how could he have become the foster son of the Wei En family?"
"I don't know about that, but the Grayson couple is indeed still alive. He will go to Blüdhaven to spend weekends with them."
Barbara's breathing immediately accelerated. She reached out a hand to grab Gordon's sleeve and said: "The Grayson couple is 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 worse than Cat Getan's. No matter what, Cat Getan is one of the most developed cities on the East Coast."
"After the accidental death of the Flying Graysons, the Grayson couple left a big shadow. They were afraid that their son would also suffer such a tragedy, so they didn't want him to inherit the Grayson family at all. They didn't want Dick to continue being an aerialist. They wanted him to study hard and go to college."
"But there is a very realistic problem. Dick's age is already quite old. It's easy to fall behind if he returns to school at this time."
"Dick is not a genius in reading, and even a genius needs good teachers to tutor him. His progress was already lagging behind. If there were no good schools and teachers, it would be difficult to step into the university gate."
"After the decline of the Grayson family, they couldn't even touch the threshold of the middle class. They could only say they could get by in Blüdhaven. They didn't have the educational resources to let Dick change his destiny through reading."
"So even if they miss their child, they can only let Dick stay in Cat Getan to attend a good school. With Bruce Wei En sponsoring him, he can receive the most orthodox elite education. Besides being able to attend famous schools, he can also possess resources others can't even dream of."
"It's realistic, but it's cruel. If Dick just went back to Blüdhaven, he might be a small-town boy for the rest of his life, but if he is Wei En's foster son, then he will be the most brilliant member of the Grayson family."
"Then he, then is he happy?" Barbara didn't even know from what angle she should ask this question: "Doesn't he miss his parents?"
"Of course he misses them." Gordon sighed when he said this. He turned his head to look at Bruce and said.
"But to some extent, the fatherly love that Bruce Wei En can give him is completely different from the Grayson couple."
"He can truly teach him, not just take care of him. They can have collisions of thoughts and exchanges of knowledge. The love and understanding Dick can get from him is more than anyone else."
Barbara also turned to look at Bruce. He was pouring juice for Damian. The demon boy was very close to him, even sticking to his arm. This Batman of this universe looked like a good father.
Or maybe a miracle could happen, Barbara thought, there would always be a Batman in a universe who is a good father, right?
"You mean, my parents are still alive?!"
In Dick's room at Wei En Manor, Nightwing looked at Dick, who was leaning on the bed and yawning repeatedly, with wide, surprised eyes.
"Those are my parents." Dick closed his eyes and said: "Of course, they shouldn't be any different from your parents. Did you come to find me just to ask this?"
"Originally not, but now you have to tell me where they are!"
"Where else could they be? Blüdhaven." Dick was very perfunctory. He was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes.
Nightwing pushed open the door and rushed into the corridor, running downstairs in a hurry, and then bumped into a dark high wall head-on.
In his panic, his mask fell off. He looked up and saw a man wearing a formal suit, looking a bit like Bruce Wei En but much older, who was holding his forehead after being bumped by him.
After the two stared at each other for two seconds, an angry roar echoed in Wei En Manor.
"Dick Wei En! How many times have I said to sleep before nine o'clock?!
!"
Dick was stunned.
"What did you call me???" ===== CHAPTER 1446 =====
