Chapter 2426: The Weird Bat Family (VI)
Then they realized that they actually had a lot more to say about the Flash Universe, but Thomas and Martha also chose to hide some of it, and instead said: "In our universe, after the movie ended, we still walked into that alley, but the killer's target was our children, that is, you, and they succeeded."
The story of Flashpoint is actually not long, but the most sad thing is that in addition to Thomas becoming Batman, Martha also became the Joker. All the Batmen present could not imagine what they had experienced.
After hearing all this, Batman Doomsday felt that what he had experienced in that world was nothing. He said, "Superman, Superman suddenly went crazy. Maybe he has been lying to me all along, so I injected myself with the Doomsday virus..."
As expected, Thomas and Martha scolded him. Martha recalled everything that happened when Bruce was little. She said, "I remember the first time you quarreled with your friends and didn't eat, I told you not to punish yourself with other people's mistakes!"
"I think I have to stop him..."
"You know you didn't think of stopping him. You just wanted to die with him, or let him see how powerful you are." As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. Thomas pointed out directly, "You just wanted him to regret it, so you took the most extreme action and intended to hurt others and yourself."
"But he won't regret it. Since he chose to lie to you and betray you, it proves that he doesn't care about you at all. Otherwise, when he saw you in pain, he would choose to confess to you. If he really cared about you, many things would not have happened in the first place."
Doomsday Batman remained silent. It was obvious that he was still resisting all this. Thomas and Martha had to huddle together and whisper, "Are they really friends? Why do I feel that his state is a bit similar to when I thought you were dead?"
"It's hard to say. I've always felt that Bruce and Clark were a little too close..."
"What should we do now? What if he is really trapped in love? This is really troublesome. It sounds like his universe's superman cannot be saved..."
"I think there must be a universe where Batman is dead and only Superman is left. Do you think it's possible to bring that Superman here..."
"But this may be difficult..."
"Listen, Thomas, my son has been hurt! And we can't let him spend the rest of his life with regrets!"
"Okay, but we have to think long-term..."
The two returned to their seats after muttering, but immediately changed their tone. Thomas said, "As the saying goes, if you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. Now that things have come to this, maybe you can focus more on your family."
"Yeah Bruce, I think you all can do that, at least we're still here."
Then it was Cyborg Batman. Alfred had actually been standing behind them, listening, and Cyborg Batman glanced at Alfred before he spoke.
Later in his narration, except for the fact that he mentioned at the beginning that he wanted to back up Alfred's consciousness, he only called the rebellious artificial intelligence a monster disguised as Alfred, and said that this was also the consensus he and other Batmen reached.
Martha and Thomas looked at Alfred. Alfred thought about it very seriously and said, "I don't think my backup consciousness will choose to stay there, but I don't think it will impulsively choose to die either."
Alfred lowered his head slightly and said, "I am already quite old. I am not one of those young men who would deliberately hurt themselves just because of a quarrel and want to teach the other party a lesson. I will consider more about how to change the other party's mind and try to reach an agreement."
"So if I didn't stay in the container because I didn't want to indulge the young master, then I probably wouldn't seek death, but would find a way to leave the container and hide."
"Because if I choose to die, then on the day when the real me dies, the young master who opened the container will suffer a double blow. He might collapse, which is uncontrollable. But if I can show up and comfort him afterwards, he can learn a lesson without being too sad."
"But that container..."
Alfred lowered his head and smiled, saying, "I am also a graduate of a prestigious school, Master. If I knew you had this plan, how could I not have made preparations earlier?"
Robot Batman was speechless, he knew that if Alfred really intended to make preparations in advance, there was no way he would find out, because Alfred took care of everything in his life, and it was too easy for such a butler to do something without telling his master.
"You mean Alfred's consciousness might still be alive..." Robot Batman said hesitantly but with a hint of expectation: "Maybe if I look carefully in the corners of electronic equipment, I might be able to find it."
"I think so," Alfred said, "but it's more likely to be hiding in a place you come into contact with every day but where you wouldn't expect it to be. In any case, you should be able to find it back."
Robo-Batman nodded and sat down. Alfred stepped back and turned on his phone. There was a text message from Thomas. "Really? Alfred, can he really find it?"
"If you can't find one, why can't you make one for him? We are all Alfred anyway."
"You are a genius, Alfred."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir."
In the end, only Green Lantern Batman was left, but he didn't really want to have a tea party here. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible. He didn't understand why so many powerful people had to sit here and play house.
However, his lamp was damaged after hitting his helmet and had been picked up by the main universe Batman. Now his ring was still without energy and he was completely unable to leave.
But he chose not to say anything. He didn't want to listen to any trial. Gordon back then was not allowed to do that, and neither were Martha and Thomas now. He, who had gained powerful strength, should be the one to judge them.
Thomas and Martha both observed his silence, but contrary to Green Lantern Batman's expectations, neither of them emotionally demanded that he confess everything immediately. Martha just smiled at him and said, "It's okay. I know you must have experienced a lot of bad things and made a lot of mistakes that you don't want others to know. We are all like this."
"If you ever want to talk, we're here," Thomas said. "We're always here for you."
Green Lantern Batman turned his head away and said nothing, as if the current excitement had nothing to do with him at all, but soon everyone's attention shifted to the Batmobile, which made him feel an inexplicable emptiness.
"Man, I have to say, your outfit is pretty cool, but can you tell me why you look like this?" Thomas' tone could be described as puzzled.
"This is not an accident." Batmobile said, "It all started when I suddenly had an idea to draw up a plan for a super-electronic society..."
Batmobile's tone has always been relaxed. He can be said to be the most lively of all the Batmen here. He does not have the rigidity and stiffness of the electronic life forms. He is so lively that he hardly looks like Batman.
"That's it. They chose to unite to overthrow my rule, destroyed most of the base stations, and shot down the satellites. So I transferred my remaining consciousness into this car to facilitate my quick escape."
Martha hugged the front of the car, stroked the Batmobile's eyes and said, "Oh my God, poor thing, this is not your fault. Of course, it is understandable that they don't want to live like this, but you have done what you should do."
"Yes, I think so too. So the question I'm thinking about now is whether I should change my paint job. Perhaps a flower-themed paint job would be a good holiday choice. I can take you on vacation. How about the beach at Bludhaven?"
"Great." Nightwing said, "Maybe we can convert your huge trunk into seats so that we can seat more people."
"Where should we put our camping equipment?" Red Robin questioned and said, "At least the hanging rack below should be kept, because we have to bring that big tent over, otherwise it won't be able to accommodate so many people."
"Martha and I can drive," Thomas said. "We are long past the age where we can ride around in an SUV this big. It would give Martha a migraine."
"Yes, we will take care of carrying all the camping equipment, and you can sit in this car and cheer as much as you can."
The Robins cheered immediately. It was obvious that their increasingly idle lives were making them more and more childish.
Then they discussed a lot about going on vacation to Blüdhaven, and learned that the Wayne family actually had an entire resort in Blüdhaven, built halfway up the mountain on the sea side of Blüdhaven, and it was the best resort in the world.
Under the urging of the Robins, Thomas and Martha finally agreed that they would go there to spend a long vacation, but they still did not give in and could not stop learning.
Now, the relatively younger Red Hood and Red Robin have been sent back to school. They are both attending college, but Red Robin is studying at Metropolitan University, while Red Hood is studying at Gotham University locally. One studies science, and the other studies liberal arts.
It’s not that Nightwing is incapable of studying. With the connections of the Wayne family, it is not difficult for him to study for a master’s degree in these two universities. However, he really doesn’t like literature or scientific research, and he feels overwhelmed when reading those research materials.
Finally, with Batman's coordination and Thomas and Martha's concession, Nightwing transferred his work relationship to the Gotham police system, but not the field team. Instead, he worked in the Criminal Investigation Support Team of the New Jersey National Guard stationed in Gotham, doing evidence collection, behavioral analysis and professional support, working from nine to five every day.
But the good news is that Barbara Gordon also works in this unit now, but in the network communications and satellite signal support department next to it. This job was actually introduced by an aunt of the Kane family, and of course Martha's instructions were indispensable.
Since everyone has to study or attend classes, why do people feel that they are getting more and more idle? In fact, it is mainly because everyone in Gotham is very idle now. Those who don't like fighting have all run away, and those who like fighting have no wars to fight. The process of building a city is always boring. No matter how busy you are, you can't be as busy as creating crimes on one hand and investigating them on the other. Don't you feel that you are idle?
But soon, as expected, Thomas and Martha turned the topic to areas in which they were quite proficient.
"Vacation will be a relaxing moment in life, but it will not be the theme. I believe you will be staying here for a long time. Have you thought about what to do?" Thomas asked with a smile while cutting the bread.
"I think we shouldn't push the children too hard." Martha smiled and said, "It takes some time to prepare for a vacation. I think the younger ones can go back and take a week of adaptation classes first. What do you think, little Bruce?"
"I'm not young anymore. I'm in high school."
"Have you decided which university to apply to?"
I caught a cold again!
