Chapter 1461: Birds and Return (VI)

Gordon, who was at the dining table, quickly pressed Barbara's hand. At the same time, he looked at Barbara's side face with some confusion, looked her up and down, and asked: "Why are you so skillful in pulling out a gun? Come on. Is it the police academy?”

Barbara's shocked mind froze for a moment, and she instinctively replied: "No, Batman trained me."

Gordon's frown deepened, and he raised his voice and said, "Batman asked you to be a policeman? What's the relationship between you two?!"

"I...no, wait a minute, why is the clown here? Isn't this the biggest question now?!"

"The biggest problem is your relationship with Batman!"

Gordon turned his head and glared at Bruce who was confused. He lowered his voice and looked at Barbara and said, "Did that damn playboy lie to you?!"

"Of course not!" Barbara turned and glared at Gordon. She would not allow anyone to smear Batman. She also raised her voice and said, "Batman has not deceived anyone in the Bat Family! I know him!"

"How much do you know about him and you say you know him?! How do you know he has no evil intentions?" Gordon glanced at Bruce who was already sitting down. He lowered his voice and said through gritted teeth: "Stupid girl, You don’t even know that a man is being a hooligan when he asks you to wear tights, do you?”

"I wore that voluntarily!"

"You think you wore it voluntarily!"

Gordon looked around, and he tugged on Barbara's arm to keep her away from the table, mainly to keep her away from Bruce. The two of them had almost completely left the table before Gordon said.

"Bruce Wayne has graduated from Schiller! He can completely mess with your brain and make you do whatever he says, but don't tell me that you are really obsessed with him?!"

Just as Barbara was about to open her mouth to speak, Gordon looked into her eyes and said, "To say the least, he and Selena have not broken up. When Harley came back to my place last time, she complained that he had to deal with Selena every day. Lina spent at least two hours on the phone...a breakup is better than a wedding!"

"Barbara, don't be joking, tell me seriously, are you even a little obsessed with Batman in any aspect? Not at all?"

Barbara opened her mouth, then suddenly fell silent.

The red-haired girl bit her lip and turned her head away. Gordon looked at her face and showed a real expression. He took a deep breath, and his mind was full of hatred for the iron.

As a result, at this time, he heard Bruce holding Damian across the dining table say: "If you are my son in that universe, then who is your mother? Selena?"

"Catwoman? My mother is not a Catwoman. Look at her slutty look, does it look like she will give birth to a child for you? Although my mother is not much better." Damian picked up a skewer and He bit the meat and pulled out the stick, saying angrily.

"Then who is she?"

"Talia, Talia Xiaogu, the daughter of your nemesis Lei Xiaogu, I don't know if you have met her now. If you haven't, remember to bring condoms with you."

Gordon spit out his beer in one sip. He grabbed Barbara's arm and said, "The Bruce Wayne in your universe is already married and has children?! You still..."

"You don't understand." Barbara exhaled through her nose rather irritably. She picked up the draft beer cup and took two sips of beer, and said: "The matter between him and Thalia is very complicated, and it is not appropriate to describe it as love. "

"Is love the right word to describe you?"

"We are not in love either!"

"Then you said you were obsessed with him?"

"That's just worship!"

Then I heard Damian from across the table say, "However, it seems that Batman wanted to marry Catwoman before, but it didn't happen."

"You're not even the second pick?!" Gordon said, raising his voice.

"Can you shut up and eat the skewers?"

"I'm your daddy!"

"You are not yet! The death struggle of an abandoned stray dog!"

Gordon was absolutely stunning.

Bruce brought Damian a separate pony, and he sat on it, eating meat while reaching for his beer glass.

Bruce moved smoothly and removed the glass before his hand touched the handle, then handed him a glass of ice juice.

"I can drink!" Damian glared at him and said.

Damian had already prepared the rhetoric in response to Batman's education. He knew what Batman would say, such as "Minors cannot drink alcohol from a legal or moral perspective", "Drinking is harmful to health", "Alcohol Paralyze the brain," something like that, Damian had seen Batman tell the Teen Titans at parties.

As a result, Bruce said: "If you are drunk, I will throw you to the clowns."

Damian's hand retracted so fast that an afterimage appeared.

"What's going on?" The Gordons and their daughter, who were so far away that they were almost sitting at a table alone, were holding skewers of meat in one hand and pouring beer glasses into the other. Barbara asked, glancing at the green-haired figure on the table next to her.

"That's Jack, a mental patient, but the director of the mental hospital couldn't stand him, so he had to leave him outside."

"Oh my God, he killed so many people, why don't you arrest him?"

"Arrest him, and then what? He will be tried, diagnosed with mental problems, sent to a mental hospital but kicked out by doctors, his truck will be robbed by others, and he will have no money to eat to retaliate against society and kill more people?"

"Then you shouldn't have dinner with him, right?"

"It shouldn't be. It was the first time in my life that I got a royal flush in Texas Hold'em poker, and he stole a card."

Barbara had a thousand things to say, including various philosophical, social, and human issues, but in the end she opened her mouth and asked: "Then how did you teach him a lesson?"

"I handcuffed him, but I can't bring him back to the police station. He will continue to steal the cards from the night shift policemen. Those young people are not as good-tempered as me. He might Beaten to death."

"This universe is really crazy!" Barbara said with some self-deprecation. She took a deep breath and tried hard to regain the rational state of the Oracle.

Gordon stretched his neck forward and asked tentatively: "Do you really just admire Batman?"

"Of course, the members of the Bat Family gather around Batman because they admire him." Barbara explained hard: "I never imagined that having a relationship with someone of the opposite sex who is very different from me in age would be like that. Such feelings...I don’t lack fatherly love!”

Gordon immediately became vigilant and said, "Isn't it just a big age difference?"

"Wait a minute, you said before that in your universe, Barbara and I had never had any conflicts, and we got married very young. Before Barbara and I broke up, we really considered getting married. If at that time we If we really get married, we will have children about a year after we get married.”

"Let me calculate, if you were born at that time, and I brought you to Gotham, met Batman, and hung out with the Wayne family, then someone who is not much different from you in age...do you like Dick? !

Barbara's face suddenly turned red. She glared at Gordon angrily and gritted her teeth and said, "Should I still call you Detective Mr. Gordon?!"

Gordon raised his head, slammed the table hard, and let out a long sigh. He stretched out his arm and put the beer glass on the distant table, glanced at Bruce, and then said: "Well, Dick is better than Wayne, you guys." At what stage have you taken any safety measures?”

"The two of us have broken up." Barbara took two swigs of beer and said, "He wants to go back to Blüdhaven until he dies."

"Oh my god, how old were you back then?"

"It wasn't that time..."

Barbara pursed her lips, as if she was lost in memories. After a while, she threw away the sign in her hand impatiently and said, "Batman's Robins have all experienced some bad things. Dick and Jason is the first to bear the brunt. Blüdhaven is Dick’s hometown. Maybe he wants to remember his parents there. I have no reason to stop him.”

"In memory of his parents?" Gordon said in surprise: "Did his parents pass away? Is it due to illness?"

This time it was Barbara's turn to be surprised. She looked at Gordon and said, "Dick was adopted by Batman because his parents were killed. If his parents had not died, how could he become the adopted son of the Wayne family? "

"I don't know about that, but Dick's parents are indeed alive and he will go to Blüdhaven to spend the weekend with them."

Barbara's breathing quickened immediately. She stretched out a hand to grab Gordon's sleeve and said, "The Graysons are still alive? Are they in Blüdhaven now?"

"Yes."

"Then why doesn't Dick live with them?"

"Because Blüdhaven is a small city." Gordon spread his hands and said, "The educational resources there are far behind compared to Gotham. After all, Gotham is one of the most developed cities on the East Coast."

"After the accidental death of Grayson, the Grayson couple left a big shadow. They were afraid that their son would suffer the same tragedy, so they did not want him to inherit the Grayson family. They did not want Dick to continue to be a trapeze artist. They I want him to study hard and go to college.”

"But there is a very real problem. Dick is already very old, and it is easy to be unable to keep up when he returns to school at this time."

"Dick is not a genius in reading. Even a genius still needs the guidance of a good teacher. His progress is already lagging behind. Without a good school and teachers, it will be difficult for him to enter college."

"After the decline of the Grayson family, they couldn't even touch the threshold of the middle class. They can only live in Bludhaven. They didn't have the educational resources to let Dick change his destiny through reading."

"So even if they miss their children, they can only let Dick stay in Gotham and go to a good school. With Bruce Wayne sponsoring him, he can receive the most orthodox elite education. In addition to going to a prestigious school, he can also have what others want. Resources that I couldn’t even imagine.”

"It's very realistic, but cruel. If Dick just returns to Bludhaven, he may be a small town boy for the rest of his life, but if he is Wayne's adopted son, then he will be the most accomplished member of the Grayson family. ”

"Is he, is he happy?" Barbara didn't even know where she should stand in asking this question: "Doesn't he miss his parents?"

"Of course I miss you." Gordon sighed when he said this. He turned to look at Bruce and said.

"But to a certain extent, the fatherly love that Bruce Wayne can give him is completely different from the Graysons."

"He can truly teach him, not just take care of him. They can have a collision of ideas and an exchange of knowledge. Dick can get more love and understanding from him than anyone else."

Barbara also turned to look at Bruce, who was pouring juice for Damian. The demon boy was very close to him, even on his arm. The Batman of this universe looked like a good father.

Or there might be a miracle, Barbara thought, there will always be a universe where the Batman is a good father, right?

"You mean, my parents are still alive?!"

In Dick's room in Wayne Manor, Nightwing stared in surprise at Dick who was leaning on the bed and yawning.

"Those are my parents." Dick closed his eyes and said, "Of course, they should be no different from your parents. Is that why you came to me to ask this?"

"Not originally, but now you have to tell me where they are!"

"Where else can they be? Blüdhaven." Dick was very perfunctory, and he couldn't even open his sleepy eyes.

Nightwing pushed open the door and rushed to the corridor, ran downstairs in a hurry, and then ran into a dark high wall head-on.

In a hurry, his mask fell off. He looked up and saw a man in formal clothes who looked a bit like Bruce Wayne but much older. He was hit by him and covered his forehead.

After the two looked at each other for two seconds, an angry roar echoed in Wayne Manor.

"Dick Wayne! How many times have I told you to go to bed before nine o'clock?!

!"

Dick was stunned.

"What did you call me???"
