Chapter 1653 No Time to Die (Forty-three)

Batman had imagined countless times what he would say if he could see his parents again one day in the future, but in fact, even in the warmest possibilities he imagined, there was almost no scene of the family of three sitting around the fireplace in Wayne Manor and chatting again.

Now it seems that the reality is a little more "warm" than the scene he imagined. Not only are his parents there, but there is also the old housekeeper who has always been with him. The only problem is that the topic of discussion is a little different from what Batman imagined.

"Bruce, come and sit down. We have to talk to you about something." Thomas waved to Batman, then pointed to the sofa opposite.

Batman's lips moved, but he still couldn't say "Call me Batman" to his biological father. It's not that he didn't want to say it, but the key is that Thomas came with a gun today.

Batman walked over and sat down, then looked at Thomas and Martha from under his mask. They had aged a lot, but not as much as Batman imagined. It was mainly because people looked much younger when they were angry. Now they were both radiant with anger.

"Little Bruce, we have something to talk to you about seriously. What are you doing recently? Why do you want to interfere in the affairs of me and your father?"

Batman opened his mouth, but he didn't expect Martha to ask this question. Soon Thomas looked at Batman and said, "You ignored the business of the Wayne Group and took care of the gang fights. I just asked Alfred and found out that you didn't care if the Robins didn't go home!"

"I..."

In fact, in the few seconds just now, Batman prepared a long list of mental drafts, the main content of which was to explain why he wanted to be Batman and how Gotham became what it is now. He thought it was necessary because in his imagination, his parents would never accept him as Batman.

Thomas and Martha seemed to accept it well. Batman's explanations and persuasion were useless, but Batman found that he was not completely happy, but a little confused, and there was a trace of bitterness that he could hardly detect.

Children always complain that their parents are too controlling and too tough, and always complain that their parents plan their life path too rigidly. But if one day you do something out of the ordinary and your parents don't care, just watch coldly, you will inevitably wonder why they don't care about me, don't they love me anymore?

People are animals that worry about gains and losses, and Batman is no exception. If Thomas scolds him very hard and reprimands him for not caring about the business of the Wayne Group, dressing up weirdly and swinging fists on the street to embarrass the family, then Batman will definitely be very angry and think that he has no right to question his choice.

But Martha and Thomas seemed to have completely skipped this stage of questioning, as if he was now dressed like a freak in tights, and it was a very reasonable thing to appear in Wayne Manor in the middle of the night. They didn't even ask him to take off the mask.

Is this reasonable? This is not reasonable at all.

So Batman hesitated for a moment, and then opened his mouth and asked: "Don't you think... I mean, I, don't you think I..."

"What's wrong with you?" Martha asked, and then the kind lady showed an expression of sudden realization, and then said: "Okay, little Bruce, don't listen to your father, he didn't say that you have to go to Wayne Group to work."

"Martha, let's not change the subject, Bruce, why are you doing these things?"

"Are you talking about Batman? I..."

"No, don't think about Batman, I mean why do you want to get involved in the fight between gangs? Don't you know it's dangerous? Why can't you take the card and fly to your friend's farm for a few months of vacation, leaving space for me and your mother to solve the emotional problems between us?"

"... Farm? What farm?"

"You are not in this universe with Clark Good friend? "" Clark? "" Yes, you bought him the farm boy who bought him a Lamborghini tractor. His father was the old Kente of Kansas. How about Martha said helplessly: "You have done two things in the universe! "Let's click on private space" "Sleina ..." Batman screamed involuntarily that he hadn't called for a long time. "Don't you quarrel with her again? Okay, do your professor have a travel plan recently?

Batman opened and closed his mouth, then opened it again. He wanted to say something for a few seconds, but he didn't know what to say in the end.

For most of his first half of life, most of the words he heard were similar to "Batman, we need you here!", "Batman, you have to solve this trouble!", "Batman, you have to do this!".

Batman, who had been telling others to "get out of my Gotham" all his life, was finally hinted at by others to "get out of my Gotham" in a euphemistic way.

Batman heard that this was what Thomas and Martha meant. They said that you are a nuisance here, and it is better to leave Gotham and find a class for yourself. What is going on?

Just when Batman was thinking blankly, Thomas and Martha started to quarrel again. Anyway, it was about the education of Robins.

One is whether to train Damian and whether training Damian will make other children sad, the other is whether Dick should take a social etiquette class after school on Friday night, and the other is whether Elsa, who just started kindergarten, can ride the brown pony at the horse farm...

Batman simply doesn't know how they can accurately find two completely opposite opinions in so many trivial issues and argue for hours.

But I have to admit that Batman feels a little awkward. Why do Thomas and Martha want to argue about how to tie their shoelaces when it comes to the Robins, but when it comes to their own problems, their biological parents just skip all the way, with an attitude of "find a place for yourself"?

In fact, this can't be blamed on Thomas and Martha. The main reason is that they have been in the universe where Schiller is for a long time, and most of the time they are dealing with Bruce in that world.

Before, Thomas had seen the diagnosis book that Schiller gave Bruce. The list of disease names on it dazzled Thomas' eyes. After all, he had raised Bruce for so many years, and he was aware that his son was abnormal in some aspects.

Again, Bruce was not very normal in his youth. Apart from his amazing genius and wisdom, he did have problems with poor communication, stereotyped behavior, and slightly cold emotions and attitudes.

In this way, it is not easy for this child to grow up to be like this today. If he is not wholeheartedly good, what else can Thomas ask for from this villain template?

Martha is more realistic and decisive. The Kane family she was born into is much more prosperous than the Wayne family, which is a single-line family. There are countless branches and branches of branches.

Children raised by such families know very well that raising children is like investing. Not every investment will be rewarded, but it must be decided whether to increase the position based on the growth trend.

Some children have already written "I'm not good at doing business" or "I'm not good at managing a business" on their faces. If parents still invest blindly, the final result is that their branch will never be able to squeeze into the core interest group.

In fact, if you look at it this way, Martha should support Thomas to train Damian as the heir, because Damian is indeed the most suitable to inherit the Wayne family among all Robins.

But Martha's objection is that Thomas's actions are too rough. He said he wanted to train Damian and kept grabbing Damian to attend classes. Martha, who was born in the Kane family, knows very well that this training method has more disadvantages than advantages.

First, it is easy to have problems if you work behind closed doors. Second, if you only attend classes and don't communicate with children of the same age, your network of contacts is not wide enough. Third, if it is too obvious that other children feel neglected, it is easy to have a quarrel between brothers, resulting in the solid fortress being broken from the inside.

Although Thomas did not give up his attention to other children, he actually paid a little attention to his eldest son Dick, and ignored Jason and Tim.

Although this is understandable from the perspective of the structure of a traditional large family, the eldest son and the heir are the most important, but Martha could have a more tactful and gentle way to solve this matter. Thomas insisted on rushing like a young boy, and Martha would of course be very angry.

This is essentially related to the two people's growth background, family structure and class. Thomas pays attention to reality. Since there is an heir, he should cultivate him quickly. One day later, he will learn a lot later. But Martha pays attention to the family's reputation. She should manage the family in an orderly manner, be harmonious with the outside world, and leave enough dignity for everyone. This is the way of doing things in the real upper class.

But the two agreed on only one thing, that is, their biological son Bruce Wayne does not look like the material to inherit the family.

First, Bruce may have mental problems. It is a bit inhumane to let him bear such a heavy burden. After all, he is his biological son, and it is good enough for him to live well.

On the one hand, Bruce seems to have no ambitions here. After Thomas came back, he no longer cared about the Bruce Wayne Group in Schiller's universe, and he stopped doing scientific research. Every day, he either dated Selina, studied fruits and vegetables with Pamela, or went to Kent Farm to plant barley and wheat.

Bruce, who was busy building the other world recently, disappeared directly. Without this debt collector in front of him, Thomas felt that the world was beautiful.

The joy of reunion has been consumed by Bruce. After the couple returned to the main world, they looked at the Batman of this universe and felt that he was redundant.

Since he was alive and well, he should live well, take a vacation, fall in love, or even learn magic. What is better than rotting in Gotham?

Batman was still confused when he walked out of Wayne Manor. He thought he had to endure not to say "Get out of my Gotham" to his biological parents, but he didn't expect that the other party was also enduring.

But where can Batman go after leaving Gotham?

No, Batman thought, Gotham still needs him... Wait, does Gotham really still need him now?
