Chapter 208 Wayne's timidity? (bug catch)
Damian is rarely so embarrassed, especially in front of his father. For a while, they have been tit for tat, but the death journey of Apocalypse at the age of 10 let him know that his father still loves him, although he In the vast majority of cases it will not show up.
But now he found out in a panic that he was about to be blushed by his father's praise.
Just a "pass", Damian, no way!He yelled to himself inwardly.
"This is really... a very weird sentence, father." He touched his nose and raised the corner of his mouth. "Do your Justice League teammates know that you have such a loving side?"
Bruce is no longer putting up walls over being revealed to his true self by others. "I'm getting older and trying to separate/distinguish between my several characters, whether it's Batman or Brucey, can no longer affect my real life."
"I hope you do too, Damian," Bruce said, leaning forward, "even though I've temporarily taken back your cape, you'll still be Batman. And your life can't be corrupted by this role."
He didn't know if his son could do things that even he couldn't do. He knew that this kind of meaningless order was just to make himself feel less guilty.
Damian withdrew all his playful smiles and nodded to his father.
After a few seconds of silence, Bruce thought of something and chuckled. "I noticed you don't call Dick 'Greyson' anymore."
Damian froze, he didn't know when he began to regard those three annoying guys who shared the father's love and the title of Robin as family.The long and comfortable life must have polished his will!
"It's troublesome to call the last name," Damian said dryly, "I also want to be lazy sometimes."
Bruce just grinned wider and said nothing.
At this time, the sound of steady footsteps came from the entrance leading from the mansion to the bat cave. "Father and son time? Then we need some tea and biscuits." Alfred slowly entered the Batcave with a tray in his hand.
The old butler's ordinary way of appearing made Bruce and Damian almost jump up in fright.
"Ha, is Harry asleep?" Bruce was nervously looking for something to say.Wait a minute, why is he nervous?
"Sleeping," Ah Fu put down the tray in front of the giant screen operating table, just as they have always been used to, he stood up straight, with the back of his gloved hand behind his straight spine, "what's the matter with you? Why are you staring at I read?"
Bruce was sad to find that Damian was stunned stupidly, he was still naive!
"Just thinking...how precious it has been to have you by my side for so many years." Bruce bared his teeth.
Afu's face was calm, "Every time you praise me, it shows that there is nothing good. Master Damian is already gone. Master Bruce, you don't need to divert my attention with unnecessary praise just because you broke the vase gone."
"It's different this time, Ah Fu."
"You always say that too, Master Bruce."
Bruce cleared his throat in embarrassment. "We're going to study the pollen composition of poison ivy and make an antidote. Do you want to join?"
Ah Fu tidied up the hem of his straight black suit, and Damian had been wondering since he was a child, what was Ah Fu doing with his superfluous actions every time he tidied up his suit.
"I'd better evacuate as soon as possible to leave enough time for you father and son to be alone." A Fu bowed slightly, "Rest early, Master Bruce, Master Damian."
It was only a few minutes after Ah Fu's back disappeared at the entrance of the bat cave that Damian slowly said, "Uh, why didn't you tell Ah Fu directly just now? It's...about me and Harley. We have to tell him sooner or later , right? And it’s better for us to take the initiative to explain than for him to discover it by accident.”
Bruce pursed his lips, so as not to admit that he was cowardly...
I found out later, when did he fall to the point where he wanted to please his girlfriend's parents for his son?
As a Wayne, he should never have to think about this kind of thing!
Bruce sternly said, "It's not a good time."
"Wait," he turned his head and glanced at Damian, "it's not my business, you should talk about it yourself."
Damian choked. "So... the two of us, Wayne, are timid in front of a Pennyworth?"
Bruce took a sip of his tea and decided not to admit it. "It's you who are timid, Damian." Putting down the teacup, he thought of another question, "Dick and the others know?"
"Ment... Drake was the first to find out, then Grayson, they've known about it for a year."
"So only Jason and I were kept in the dark." Bruce nodded slowly. Isn't he as sharp as his two adopted sons?
Damian shook his head, "I think Todd already knows about it," he curled his lips, "Given the relationship between me and Drake since childhood, there's no need for him to hide it for me. Drake must be eager to learn Tell Todd right away, then wait and watch the guy come and fight me with two guns up."
"Traditionally, Drake fanned the flames, and Grayson helped break the fight," Damian shrugged, "I guess Dick helped me make sense with Jason, considering that Jason has been in one of the few places this year. During several encounters, no one wanted to take my head."
"Very likely." Bruce agreed.
However, what Damian didn't know was that because the matter was too important, Tim didn't want to get involved at all under the guideline of "one more thing is worse than one less thing"; and Damian has always underestimated Tim. concern for him.Dick had tacitly agreed earlier that Jason must have known about it earlier than him, so he didn't make a fuss, it must be Harry himself who persuaded Jason.
In this way, Jason Todd aka Red Hood himself was left out of the circle of knowledge in the strange tacit understanding of the family.
Ding, the computer prompt beeps, and the pollen composition analysis is completed.
"You go upstairs and rest," Bruce said to Damian, "inject the antidote tomorrow morning."
Thinking that the function of this pollen is to make people "do shameful things" (Harry's words), Bruce suddenly realized a serious problem——
"You know that even though you're an adult, you still have to wait...Harry." Bruce's face twisted, this kind of topic was too embarrassing, especially the other party was also a girl whom he regarded as his daughter. "I know that according to the survey, there are quite a few teenagers in the United States who haven't waited until they reach adulthood...but of course my expectations and requirements for you are higher."
Damian rolled his eyes, why does everyone have to emphasize this obvious truth to him. "Of course I know! Haven't I been waiting until now?"
Bruce looked at his son's serious face and decided to believe him.
That's good, Damian will still be naturally immune to poison ivy pollen for at least two years.
Gordon... what else?He stood up for his son.
Damian didn't go back upstairs, but went to the bathroom of the Batcave, "I'll study the antidote with you tonight, Father, you can experiment on me."
The author has something to say:
*Preliminary spoiler: When Jason knew about it, the inhuman garbage author arranged it in the early morning after Mi Zong and Ha Mei's first night incident.Oh hehehehe.
*I originally wanted to take the twins and everyone in Hogwarts to take advantage of Harley's birthday party to take a walk in Gotham, to open their eyes and experience the "sincerity" of the people of Gotham.But the code is a bit stuck, and I am not satisfied, so this chapter is a bit short.The next chapter is guaranteed thick and long!
*I read a survey, I don’t know when it was done, it said that the average age of Americans’ first night is 16.9 years old.That survey also said China was 18.3. emmmmm...
