Chapter 1678 No Time to Die (Part 41)

Chapter 1651 No Time to Die (Forty-One)

Batman was struck by lightning.

He had indeed heard about the Flashpoint Universe from the Flashman, and he had thought about the day when his father and son would meet in his dreams at midnight, but he really didn't expect that this day would come so quickly and so suddenly.

And not only the father and son would meet, but the loving face that had appeared in his dreams countless times, his dear mother Martha, whom he would never forget, was also standing in the room at this moment.

How could Batman remain calm? His chest rose and fell like the core of the sun, his heavy breath seemed to blow away the moon, his chaotic thoughts were like stars in the sky, and the indescribable intense emotions that suddenly gathered in his eyes were like the wind in March, the rain in April, and the storm that lingered over the polar regions in the cold winter of November.

But before he could completely sink into the sentimentality, the situation in the house was like the ruthless iron fist of reality, smashing the beautiful fantasy of the little boy who had never grown up since his parents died about the reunion of his family at this moment.

Martha's voice was heard from inside the house. It was not kind and gentle as Batman remembered, but angry and a little irritable.

"Thomas, I really don't know how you became so stubborn today! No, it can't be called stubborn, but it should be called paranoia. I am shocked by your omissions in education, but you don't want to repent at all."

"I think you should think more realistically, Martha. Children can't be trapped in the family forever to play those brotherly games. They always have to follow their own life path step by step. So what's wrong with me doing this?"

"Don't use the so-called reality and practicality to cover up your partiality. In my opinion, you are partial to Damian because of his blood relationship with Bruce, and focus on his education. I think other children must think so too. This is definitely not what a good father should do!"

"But in terms of comprehensive ability, Damian is indeed Is the most suitable person to inherit the main industry of Wayne Group. It's not that other children are not good enough, but they are not so comprehensive. So what's the problem with me educating him early and training him to be the successor? "

"You will hurt other people's hearts!"

"You can see that Dick is impatient to learn how to do business, Jason is more yearning for freedom, Tim still has the Drake family's industry to manage, and Barbara wants to inherit her father's responsibilities. So after counting, isn't Damian the most suitable? "

"But if you only focus on Damian, the other children will feel neglected. The attention of the father in a family represents a lot, and it cannot be compensated by the mother's double care. You know this better than me. "

Thomas sighed deeply, and Martha crossed her arms and looked away She turned her head and said in a slightly sad tone: "I never thought that time could bring us so many changes, Thomas. I don't want to say anything hurtful, but everything now is very different from the scene when we knew each other when we were young."

"People always change, Martha, but my love for you and my children will never change."

"Love is not just verbal. How many times have I persuaded you? I understand that you have been wandering alone for a long time, and the responsibilities on your shoulders are too heavy, which makes you feel very stressed, so you have to smoke, drink, and have irregular work and rest."

"But since everything is fine in that universe, why don't you want to make some changes for me, the children and our family, and return to the strong, funny and energetic appearance when you were young? This is good for your health. Kang also has benefits!"

Thomas pursed his lips and remained silent until the silence left its mark on the wall. He then said in a hoarse tone: "The harm caused by suffering is difficult to erase. Time has worn out both of us, making the gears that originally fit perfectly no longer able to rotate smoothly. Looking back on the past is also useless to us."

Martha turned her back and sat on the bed, crying silently, and then said: "I really don't know why things have become like this. Didn't we agree that we could put aside those differences and start again when we return to this universe?"

"Maybe we all need to calm down." Thomas lowered his head and said: "Since the accident, I have never had time to stop and think carefully. Sorry, I thought revisiting the old place would make us better."

"I want to go home." Martha stood up, took out a handkerchief from her bag and wiped her tears, then said: "I want to go back to Kane's house, and then we should all calm down and think about whether this relationship still needs to continue. Goodbye, Thomas. "

Thomas didn't say goodbye, but just watched Martha's back silently as she left. Her back seemed to have aged a little.

Batman stood on the windowsill and watched all this silently, not daring to say a word.

The good news is that his parents are back.

The bad news is that they are getting divorced right after they came back.

Batman is very sure that if he had walked out and appeared in front of his parents in the image of a freak in tights, the marriage would be settled today.

What should you do when your parents are getting divorced when you are middle-aged? Waiting online is urgent.

But Batman now has something more urgent. He first found the Flash and stared at Barry's face with a death stare, then asked: "What's going on with Thomas and Martha?"

"What Thomas? I... Well, they both want to come back. After all, this is their home, right?"

Flash Barry sighed and said: "I told you about the Flashpoint Universe before. Thomas went to another universe. You should also know that the young Batman in that universe found a way to resurrect Martha some time ago. The two of them have been staying in the universe of the young Batman."

"The Robins were there before. They were busy educating their children, so they didn't have time to look back on the disasters in the past. But when the children left, they felt a little empty, and both of them were not in a good mood."

"One day Thomas found me and said They wanted to go home. Perhaps revisiting the old place could remind them of the good old days, so I brought them back here. "

"Of course, I sent them to Robin because I was afraid that they would have an emotional breakdown. When facing children, adults are always restrained, but I actually know that this method is useless. Their experience is really terrible."

"Professor Rodriguez also said that this level of psychological trauma requires a long time to adjust. I think returning to their own home should be better for them. Sorry, I didn't inform you in advance because I knew it might not be a surprise."

Barry thought he would see Batman's sad expression, but he didn't expect it too much, because the young Batman in another universe had already given him a big scare. Now Barry would not be surprised by any expression Batman made.

But in the end, he was still shocked, because what appeared on Batman's face was not sadness or anger, but indescribable anxiety and a little... panic.

Barry's feeling now is that he is getting angry and seeing Batman panic!

Batman, who was always prepared for everything, was actually panicking. What was even more amazing was that he actually showed this emotion on his face, and even let Barry understand? !

So how panicked was he? Was the world going to be destroyed? Barry also panicked.

Ignoring the golden lightning that disappeared in an instant, Batman flew back to the Batcave at the fastest speed like a real bat, and then began to check the surveillance screen.

The Joker, who was thrown into the cell in the Batcave by him, leaned against the railing and hugged his arms, turned his bloodshot eyes, and then shrugged his nose hard and said, "What do I smell? A hint of family affection, you and those little birds... No, no, no, you are hesitant like a little boy, did you see your parents? Not in a dream?"

The Joker suddenly had a gloomy expression, as if he had thought of a plan to make Batman heartbroken, but soon his expression relaxed again, and even became more innocent and happy than before.

"Let me guess, could it be that our poor little boy's parents suddenly came back, and his homework hasn't been finished yet?"

"Oh oh oh! Look at what I'm saying, the current situation is that not only has the homework not been done, but the house has also been set on fire, and the whole building has been set on fire, and the whole street has been blown down, and the President of the United States who just happened to pass by on this street has been crushed to death, and there are only ten minutes left before your parents come home."

With a "bang", the Joker's nose hit the railing, Batman grabbed the Joker's collar tightly, looked at him and said: "Shut up, or I'll throw you into the basement."

The Joker laughed wildly, and was out of breath. Batman, who was often disturbed by the Joker's crazy laughter, now even had no time to tell the Joker to shut up, because he actually knew in his heart that the Joker's summary was damn right.

Batman found that he cursed more and more in his heart recently. This was not a good sign. It meant that his emotions were gradually getting out of control, but he really didn't have time to care about this. He had to put out fires, build buildings, renovate streets, and revive the President of the United States, and he had to complete these things within ten minutes.

Thomas and Martha could come back any other time, but they had to come back when Gotham was in chaos!

As mentioned before, Batman lived at the end of the gangster era, so Thomas and Martha were actually living in the golden age of gangsters. At that time, Gotham was in chaos, but at least it was a bit like a city.

But now, looking around, the mountains in the Midtown area are all red, the red flags are waving, and the crowds of people in the Upper City are crowded. The whole Gotham is full of gongs and drums, and firecrackers are ringing. There is no good place.

These two people are not in a good mental state, and they are not strong young people. If they are stimulated and their mental state deteriorates, where can he find a psychologist like Dr. Rodriguez for emergency treatment?

So Batman made a plan.

The plan was to quickly scold the Robins, quickly bring all the families to the negotiation table, quickly reach a ceasefire agreement, quickly clean up the battlefield, and finally quickly restore peace to Gotham.

But Batman forgot one thing, which of the children of the big families who lived in the golden age of gangsters are easy to mess with?

About half an hour later, Batman heard good news - the Kane family declared war on the Wayne family.
