Chapter 605 The Bat Family Arrives!
Flashpoint Universe No. 1, Gotham City, in the Batcave.
Red Robin Tim has not closed his eyes all night. His eyes are bloodshot and his face is full of fatigue, but his spirit is very excited, or in other words, his heart is not calm at all.
"Tim, sleep for a while, your body has not fully recovered." Stephanie, Robin and Tim's girlfriend, sat beside Tim and said with some concern.
"I can't sleep." Tim shook his head, his heart was in a mess now.
Pietro had told Tim about the plan to recruit a Batman from another universe yesterday. After hearing this news, even after so long, Tim still couldn't calm down.
Batman.
That's Batman from another universe.
A younger Bruce Wayne, or Batman in his peak period in the true sense.
This is the first time Tim has encountered such a situation. Although he also understands that letting Batman from another world come here to take over the Batcave is the best choice now, it is absolutely impossible for him to say that he has no other thoughts in his mind.
Having lived with old Bruce Wayne for so long, no one is more worried about his physical condition than Tim.
In fact, old Bruce Wayne had reached the age of retirement decades ago. As his successor, Tim really didn't want old Bruce Wayne to go back to the battlefield.
However, letting another Batman replace old Bruce Wayne always made Tim feel very uncomfortable.
This feeling is hard to explain and almost impossible to describe in words.
Stephanie also saw what Tim was thinking and couldn't help but speak. "Don't think too much. After all, this matter was decided by the Justice Association after unanimous discussion, and this is also for the good of everyone."
"For the good of everyone? Do you mean to let someone we don't even know take over Gotham?" Tim raised his head.
"But the fact is that with your ability, I am far from reaching the level of Mr. Bruce. Letting another Batman command the action is the best way."
Stephanie sighed heavily. "Mr. Bruce is now in a deep coma. No one knows whether he will wake up again. Even if he wakes up, do you still want to see him go through another war?"
"Of course not!" Tim clenched his fists.
He hated himself very much at this moment. Why, why couldn't he work harder during training, why was he seriously injured by Steppenwolf, why couldn't he be independent until now.
When Mr. Bruce went to the enemy's lair alone for the safety of the whole world, why was he lying in the emergency equipment and couldn't do anything.
Tim closed his eyes in pain.
He obviously hoped to take over the mantle of Batman so that old Bruce Wayne, who had worked hard all his life, could enjoy his old age.
Why?
"It's all my fault"
Tim said in a hoarse voice. "If I wasn't too weak, Bruce wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing. The battle of the Fortress of Solitude should be carried out by me."
"Tim." Stephanie grabbed Tim's hand and felt the other's temperature. "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's not your fault. No one can guarantee when the enemy will attack us."
"I didn't prepare in advance. I didn't exercise enough." Tim shook his head.
He knew very well what his shortcomings were all along. Maybe he had excellent talents in investigation and investigation, but his combat effectiveness was too poor.
And now, it's too late to say all this.
Things have happened. Old Bruce Wayne has now lost consciousness. From tomorrow, the Batcave will be fully handed over to another stranger.
With his head down, Tim's hands trembled slightly, as if he was suppressing some emotions and not letting them burst out.
Looking at Tim worriedly, Stephanie said softly. "Tim, don't do anything stupid."
Hearing this, Tim stopped immediately.
After a while, he turned his head slightly and looked at Stephanie. "You reminded me."
"You" Stephanie opened her mouth and suddenly regretted why she was talking too much.
"This is my home, and Bruce's home as well. Mr. Bruce's honor for most of his life exists here. I can't allow the Batcave to be occupied by others so easily." Tim said calmly.
"But, after all, they are here to help us." Stephanie reminded.
"I know, so I won't do anything out of line." Tim glanced at Stephanie. "Don't worry, I just want to know how capable that Batman is."
Stephanie frowned. "What do you want to do?"
Hearing this, Tim did not answer.
He just showed a meaningful smile
Early in the morning.
At the gate of Wayne Castle.
"I'll send you here. Maybe it's a little different from what you remember, but I think as Batman, you won't get lost in your own home."
Tony Stark greeted the four people behind him and said with a smile.
Batman didn't say anything, he just carefully observed the building in front of him.
It's true that as Tony Stark said, this Wayne Castle is very different from his Wayne Castle. Of course, that's only in the details. Overall, they are equally magnificent.
"It looks pretty good here. As expected, Dad, you are a rich man no matter which universe you are in." Damian grinned.
"That's true, but it seems that Bruce in this universe has no wife and children, which means that you don't exist in this universe, Damian." Dick came to Damian and said with a chuckle.
Before coming to this universe, Tony Stark prepared a piece of information about this universe for them, which detailed the birth and abilities of various superheroes, as well as some secrets about the Bat family.
In addition, there are many super criminals here and all the information about Apokolips.
These materials were naturally provided by the Justice Association and Tim.
"Tsk." Damian held the back of his head and said nonchalantly. "Don't talk about me. Aren't you two here too? I heard that Robin here is a woman."
"At first it was a man named Tim Drake." Jason interrupted.
"Tim Drake?" Dick muttered the name and couldn't help saying. "I had a very good playmate named this when I was a child."
"Oh, how does it feel to be replaced by the best childhood friend?" Damian approached Dick and asked with a smile.
Dick rolled his eyes and pushed Damian away. "What's the replacement or not? Every universe has a unique development trajectory. I can only be happy for him."
"Okay, let's stop chatting here. Wait until you go in and see Tim and Stephanie and have a good chat. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Tony Stark said.
As he spoke, Tony Stark took out another red device, the same style as a watch.
"This is a communication device for contacting the supervisor. Now the time flow rate of the two universes is the same. If there is a problem, you must tell us in time."
"Yes." Batman nodded after taking the device. "Where are Pietro and the others?"
"They should be in the Justice Society now, or in Central City. Pietro, Kara and the Flash Barry Allen are old acquaintances. They have been together these days."
Tony Stark shrugged his shoulders and continued. "By the way, I'll have to ask you about Wayne Enterprises. Old Bruce Wayne is now a vegetable and needs someone to take over his position in Wayne Group.
The board of directors is still stable at the moment, but if it's delayed for too long, there will be accidents. The Justice Society means that you will inherit the shares and powers in the hands of old Bruce Wayne as his son."
"Huh???"
Before Batman answered, the three Robins on the side all showed wonderful expressions.
I am a son to my other world self, what is this development?
"Damian, you have a new grandfather." Jason laughed, not caring at all that Batman was standing next to him.
"Isn't this a bit too outrageous? Can't we try another way?" Dick looked at Tony Stark.
"This is the most appropriate way. Bruce in this world has no offspring, and no one knows his identity as Batman. If the news that he is now a vegetative person spreads, the world's economy will be shaken the next day."
As one of the richest people in the world, Tony Stark knows very well how great the impact on the world will be if a hero in this position encounters an accident.
After all, when he closed the weapons research and development department, there was a period of chaos, and even some super criminals who indirectly threatened him were created.
Tony Stark looked at Batman and said with a smile. "You and Bruce in this world look alike, and there should be no problem with DNA comparison. I believe that with your means, it is not difficult to control the Wayne Group."
Hearing this, Batman did not show any expression, he was still so calm. "I know. I will stabilize the Wayne Group."
"Just keep in mind that Pietro and I will stay here for the next few days. After you are completely familiar with this universe, we will return to the wasteland. After all, you know that the supervisors are short of people."
Tony Stark was talking when he suddenly stopped.
It was at this moment that everyone who was still playing and joking all sensed something and their expressions suddenly became serious.
Then, a metal can fell rapidly from the sky, and a huge amount of smoke suddenly came out, directly covering everyone present.
