Chapter 205
As he got older, Bruce obviously found that his energy was starting to keep up - not keeping up with his vision, not keeping up with his responsibilities.
But he has too many unfinished tasks, and too many ideas he hopes to realize.
However, he is not Clark after all, let alone Barry.The problem is, even Barry, a metahuman with a high metabolism and quick recovery from injury, is often happy to enlist the help of other speedsters.Bruce reflected on whether he had been too hands-on all along, and his circle of trust was too small?
He won't get younger—Bruce began to face up to this fact—of course, compared to the luxury of natural aging, he always thinks that he is more likely to die suddenly due to accident or negligence one day.
He wouldn't be Batman if he wasn't prepared for that.But this kind of preparation should definitely not be limited to his hasty suicide notes.It should be some kind of deeper, more complete system.The ultimate ideal is - this system can function normally even without him.
So he began to change his strategy, as a preparation for his own old age and powerlessness in the future - he tried to slowly transfer more energy to the watchtower, focusing on global defense, and making Gotham more and more For the next generation of heroes.
This is something that will happen sooner or later, he comforted himself, maybe there will be some confusion at first.But he understands that the sooner he lets go, the more young people can get more training and growth—on the condition that he himself is still able to supervise and assist.
It's better than being forced to push young people forward after an emergency.
Damian just naturally took over Bruce's vigilante role at the age of 18, and without any complaints, donned the mantle.
Bruce seldom praises Damian, and Ah Fu has mentioned him because of this incident in recent years.Although Bruce didn't express it verbally, he was really, really proud of his son.
He originally thought that Damian didn't bother with this cloak at all, until his son put on that hood in front of his eyes... a kind of inherited glory made his hands tremble.
But this cloak is not something worth inheriting like Wayne's wealth, this cloak is just a curse for a lifetime.
Bruce often reflects on it painfully. He should have let his son live a better and freer life, instead of forcing his son to shoulder his ideals and responsibilities, so that Wayne will shed blood for Gotham generation after generation.
"Tt, you're getting deep again, father." Damian once retorted disdainfully, after he couldn't help but say this thought.
"It's a job," said Damian, who had just finished a night watch, taking off his cape and hood, his hair curled with sweat on his forehead like Bruce's, "I'm good at killing and fighting—I I’ve been trained to do this since I was a child—so I’m going to do this job, and I’m the most suitable person, there’s no need to rise to the level of philosophy of life.”
Bruce had always known that Damian was more... determined than his father.In fact, Damian and Bruce are much more alike than the boy would care to admit.
Of course, the corners of Bruce's mouth curled up, and Damian was also taller than him,
How to be the father of a grown sonBruce didn't know it, and his own father... hadn't had the chance to teach him.
In fact, Bruce has been confused since Damian hit puberty because he doesn't know how to father a teenage son either.
He has been thinking about whether he has done too little in these years, and he must not be considered a qualified father.
Damian has still grown into a perfect youth that he can't ask for more.
It's just that Bruce has been wondering whether this perfect young man still retains his virgin body...
The aspect of his son that is least like him is probably only in the aspect of women.Bruce smiled helplessly, shaking his head gently at the hot tea in his hand.
You know, when he was 18 years old, although he was still traveling, his girlfriend had already changed a few times.
Is this... a problem that a father should worry about?
Is it because he didn't set a good example for Damian by being a fool and playboy?So Damian has "intimacy phobia" or "misogyny"?Bruce panicked suddenly.
No, definitely not, he quickly convinced himself that Damian had been very good to Harry, and the two children had always been very close.
He looks at his son in the Batcave as he adjusts the plane on a stand, and wonders if he's strapping Damian too hard.
Um?Bruce frowned, and Damian turned a screw wrong. "Damian, are you going to install this plane, or dismantle it? If you can't unscrew it, it means it's not this one. With your strength, it will break after a few more unscrews." Bruce reminded softly.
Damian also found out his mistake. To Bruce's surprise, he didn't say anything, which means... It was indeed an unreasonable mistake just now?This... is too rare for a son who has always pursued the ultimate perfection.
"Is there a problem?" Bruce put down his teacup, "Are you uncomfortable?"
Following the direction Damian was looking at just now, Bruce looked at Harley who was lying prone on the test bench on the other side of the Batcave. Plan, used to send customized requirements to their own "R&D personnel".
"Too tired from the night watch lately? You and Harry have indeed been going out for several days in a row. I can take over for you tonight."
"No, father, you just came back from the watchtower. If you continue to watch the night tonight, Ah Fu will talk about it for several days." Damian looked at his watch, and it was time, "It's time to go, Harry .”
He actually wanted to watch the night more to avoid his father's inquiries.But today it was indeed his own fault—as Batman, there was no room for error, for any reason.
*******************
The only thing Damian is satisfied with himself is that he and Harry at least kept a clear line between public and private during the night watch, and focused on it.
This is Gotham's newest generation of Batman and Robin.
Of course, because of the pressure of his figure and the deep resemblance to his father, no criminals have seen that Batman has changed, not even Gordon. There are only rumors that "Batman has changed his uniform" in the streets and alleys.
Over the past few days, he and Harry have been cooperating quite tacitly and happily, and the personal relationship between the two has not affected the efficiency, until tonight, this rainy night——
Harry descended to the roof in a huff.Damian followed closely, holding a criminal who had just been stunned by Harley's special batarang in his hand, almost twice as angry as the girl.
"How dare you disobey the order!" Damian gritted his teeth, and the electronic voice was trembling. If the criminal was still awake, he would almost faint from fright, "I expressly forbid you to act alone, but you rushed in alone. The warehouse! You never thought that there might be an ambush there!"
Harry stomped her feet and turned around, the rain stuck her curly hair to the side of her face. She tapped Damian's breastplate fiercely with her fingers, "If your order is wrong, of course I won't listen!"
"This is the only guy who ran in that warehouse!" Harley pointed at the criminal who had begun to wake up, "I saw it! I'm sure!"
"Don't you know the word 'ambush', Robin? This is your first day on patrol?" Damian approached Harley like a wall, and reprimanded her condescendingly. The black cloak was even more ghostly in the rain , The raindrops splashed on the sharp blade on the outside of his arm, and scattered in all directions as if it had been cut off.
"I... I've seen it with thermal imaging! He's the only one!"
"Lie, you don't have time at all, you just rushed in so stupidly!"
"I..." Harry paused, wiping the rain off his face, "my batarang is definitely capable of knocking down a dozen people at the same time. If we were one step late, he would run into the alley from the back door of the warehouse There's an 85% chance we'll miss him. I saw my opportunity and I took it!!!"
Damian didn't speak right away. A few seconds later, he possessed himself and lowered his voice, "If your father was here, would you still dare to say that?" Just a helper, Robin! Show some respect a helper deserves!"
"I'm not a child anymore! Robin's role next to Batman has never been a sentry!" Harley reluctantly grabbed Damian's cape, and after he turned around, he also whispered, "Your father will Dare to entrust the task to me! He is much better than you at this point! I can only say...you are not a qualified mentor!"
"You!" Damian stopped and pinched the girl's shoulder.
"What about me?!" Harry stubbornly raised his head, even though the rain poured into his eyes.
"You haven't acted in Gotham for a year, this is not a game!"
"I never regarded this as a game, but this year, I got more exercise than you!"
Damian didn't reply for a moment, just staring at Harry.
"Are you going to crush my collarbone, Batman?" Harry tried not to frown in pain.
"No." He didn't let go of the hand holding Harry's shoulder, but just relaxed a little.
Both of them were panting, letting the rain wash away their frustrated and unwilling anger.
The inexplicable adrenaline that came from the arrests and fierce quarrels hit Harry's brain.On some urge, Harry stared at Damian's lips, Merlin, the way he raged was so sexy.
If she said that she was sluggish and weak from the quarrel, wouldn't she be too immoral?
Turns out she's not the only one.
Damian grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her hard against the wall of the stair room on the top floor. Harry felt that there would be a black spot on his back tomorrow morning. Then, Damian grabbed her by the collar and lifted her up... …
"Oh my god, Batman is going to hit Robin... Evil!" The unknown criminal who had regained consciousness nervously shouted and got stuck halfway...
Because he watched Batman's thick arms wrap around the waist of the female Robin, and the legs of the female Robin naturally wrapped around Batman's torso... The two kissed like no one else, it was hard hard to separate...
Is it too late to jump off the stairs now?Poor criminal thinks seriously.
"You're pissing me off, Robin." Damian hissed from the corner of his mouth.
"Then you... are still kissing me?" Harry tugged at his bat ears.For the first time, she felt the power of an adult Damian so clearly that she was so tightly bound that she couldn't draw her wand.
"This is punishment."
"Oh? Then you should spank my ass, Batman."
"Maybe I will, Robin." Damian bit her lip, "I'll also make you...count each one out loud."
It sounded so hot, Halle was on fire herself.
Leave the newly caught criminals messy.
"It's still raining, Batman, Robin... Hell, you guys are so disgusting, can you at least move me under the roof?"
