Chapter 110 Star Wars: Don’t you have your own memes?

Following Alfred, Bruce's eyes were filled with solemnity and heaviness.

"Alfred, tell me what happened here."

"I'm sorry, Master... I'm really sorry, but I really don't know what to do." Walking in front, Alfred sighed, his eyes full of undisguised fatigue and mental exhaustion. It was like soaking in water for several hours. Although it didn't seem to require much effort, he was exhausted just to keep his balance.

Especially the dejection in his words made Bruce feel even more uneasy.

But it's not that there is no good in it. At least, there is no problem with the Gotham family cemetery - this is Bruce's bottom line and Batman's bottom line.

As they walked, Bruce asked calmly, "Alfred, can I continue to trust you?"

"Of course, Master." Alfred replied, "I will always be your most loyal butler. But this time... I'm sorry, I... don't know what to do."

After hearing Alfred's words, Bruce gradually relaxed - at least, Alfred did not betray him.

If Alfred betrayed me, what kind of emotions would I feel? Anger? Despair? Sadness? Hatred? Or all of them?

While thinking, Bruce did not relax, but remotely controlled the entire Wayne Manor, from the manor above to the Batcave below, into a state of war.

As the brain of the Justice League, Bruce has enough confidence that when entering a state of war, Wayne Manor is definitely the safest place in the world, no doubt about it. Even if all the members of the Justice League come, they cannot break in from the outside. Similarly, as long as they enter the main field here, no matter how many means the enemy has, they will not lose.

Alfred seemed to have no idea about this, and just walked quietly in front of him. Soon, the two arrived at the hall. Then, Alfred stood quietly aside, indicating to Bruce that the answer to all the mysteries was right in front of him.

Following the direction of Alfred's finger, Bruce saw a tall figure standing in front of the French window in the hall with his back to him. Although he didn't see the front, just the tall back made Bruce squint his eyes. The tall body and the straight suit didn't make this guy look gentle. On the contrary, he looked more like a beast, staring at the skyscrapers in the Gotham city in the distance, with a lot of inexplicable meanings surging around him, both love and hate.

But thinking about it carefully, it should be more hatred, as if he wanted to burn everything in front of him...

"I am coming."

Bruce came behind Thomas, and with the sound of rain outside the window, Bruce's voice was low and suppressed:
"Who are you."

After hearing Bruce's voice, even though he had made all the preparations and even though he had foreseen such a scene long ago, Thomas still couldn't help but tremble when he heard the voice.

After a moment, Thomas turned around and looked at Bruce. Perhaps because of his father's identity, even though the child in front of him was the one he had been thinking about day and night, Thomas's face was still filled with stiff indifference. But even so, those trembling eyes had already revealed that Thomas' heart was not as calm as it looked.

Bruce was slightly startled when he saw Thomas's face. A tall figure, with a familiar yet unfamiliar face. The graying temples were neatly trimmed, and the lines of his face seemed familiar, but with a coldness that was inconsistent with his memory.

Click! boom! !
A flash of lightning suddenly exploded from the clouds, and the violent thunder briefly illuminated the slightly dim hall.

Similarly, along with the lightning that illuminated the entire night sky, Thomas also said coldly: "I am, your, father!"

Hearing Thomas's cold words and looking at Thomas's familiar yet unfamiliar face, Bruce's brain seemed to roar. His eyes were filled with disbelief. He took a few steps back and looked at Thomas's face:
"Do not!!!"

Bruce stared at Thomas and growled, "Who the hell are you?!"

"I am your father." Thomas' voice was still cold and calm.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the third-generation Robin Drake couldn't help but complain: "Why does this scene look so familiar? Have I seen it somewhere?"

"Star Wars." Ron, standing by, picked up a telescope and looked like a peeping Tom from a forum in a magnetic field world, sipping the Coke from the straw while watching:

"Damn it, there are only a few memes in Star Wars, and they have to steal them. How despicable!"

aside.

"No--" As he was saying this, Bruce suddenly turned back to look at Barry the Flash, as if remembering something. However, Barry had already looked away beforehand. Even though they were not looking at each other or talking, his guilty look still proved that Bruce's guess was correct.

At the side, Ron waved at Bruce and said excitedly, "Do you still have the exchange coupons I gave you? The two that haven't expired!"

Ignoring Ron's words, Bruce suddenly turned his head and looked at Thomas again, his eyes filled with strong vigilance.

"No, you are not! No matter what you say, you are not my father! You are from another universe and are the father of another Bruce! Not me!!"

"So what?" Thomas looked indifferent to Bruce's words. His tone was still cold and hard. The indifference in his words seemed that he had already guessed that Bruce would question him like this.

"I visited my own self in this world a short time before you returned, and even the mud on my boots was still fresh."

Thomas said:
"You miss your parents deeply, and I know myself very well. So, you can rest assured that I have not done anything to destroy or occupy them. And I also know that there is nothing in this world that I cannot let go of, except you."

"Don't worry, Bruce. I'm just giving a white flower to my grave."

Looking at Bruce, Thomas spoke softly. Even though his words were still cold and his expression was still indifferent, Bruce could still clearly feel the firmness implied in Thomas' words.

Ron squatted in the corner and took out some potato chips and started to eat them. He poked Derek and the others who were already stunned with his elbow and said, "Hey, do you guys want to eat something?"

“Ah? Ah, ah! Eat, eat!”

He ordered hurriedly. Although he said he was eating, Drake's eyes were always fixed on the father and son in the hall. Not to mention Drake, Todd and Barbara were stunned by this dramatic scene. "Oh my God, Grayson is not here. He will regret it when he finds out..." Barbara muttered softly, feeling sorry for Grayson, the first Robin, who now works in Blüdhaven.

For anyone in the Bat Family, not being able to witness this scene with one’s own eyes is the biggest loss and regret in life!
Perhaps it was because of their trust in Barry, or perhaps it was because Ron's mysterious energy form would unconsciously affect the unconscious people around him. Although it was an extremely serious moment, everyone present, despite being nervous, enjoyed the potato chips, jerky and cola that Ron handed over.

"Who do you think came up with this Batman thing (chew chew chew) (chew chew chew)?"

Holding the jerky in his hand, Todd should be the most relaxed one among the Bat Team. Looking at the cold and hard Thomas and Bruce who was confronting Thomas, Todd's eyes were shining. It was not just out of curiosity about other people's gossip, but more importantly, in the process, Todd realized through his observation of Thomas that this might be the path he wanted to take.

If it was not certain before, it was just Todd's guess. Then while waiting for Bruce to arrive and Thomas went to visit the grave, Ron also told them what happened in the other world.

If Ron's statement still made them doubtful, then after getting the Flash's confirmation, Tod didn't know what others thought. Anyway, Tod himself had already made plans for the next step.

After hearing Todd's question, Ron chewed his meat and said with an agreeable look on his face: "I can only say that the screenwriter is too malicious. There are so many universes, but no Batman has healthy parents~ Tsk tsk, too pitiful, I must find a way to fill this gap."

"Let's not worry about the multiverse issue for now." Upon hearing this, Barbara couldn't help but complain, "But your dead father suddenly appeared in front of you, and he came from another universe. No matter who you are, it would be difficult to accept, right?"

Barbara paused and added, "There's even a clown lady..."

The three bat cubs were chatting with each other, and Ron nudged Barry's arm with his elbow.

"Hey, Barry, don't keep your head down. Are you not attracted by such a dramatic plot?"

"Come on, Ron, I feel so guilty..."

Barry covered his face and said, "Once this drama is resolved, I guarantee Bruce will call me for a private meeting! Batman's private meeting is scary just thinking about it, it's like an interrogation."

"What are you afraid of? Where's your speed? Can't you just run away?"

"That's what I said, but I have to be able to run away."

Barry shrugged and said helplessly, "I can feel that I have been anchored by something. Although I can still run, I am a member of the Justice League after all. And I have an unshirkable responsibility for what happened. I think I need to explain it to Bruce and provide help."

"You do have a conscience, but unfortunately I don't, so I can't offer much advice."

Ron was chatting with Barry, while on the other side, looking at Thomas in front of him, after a brief moment of disbelief, Bruce quickly regained his composure.

Looking at Thomas, Bruce's voice returned to its usual hoarse and low tone:
"You are Thomas Wayne from another world. But you are just Thomas Wayne. No matter who you are in that other world, Batman, the patriarch of the Wayne family, or a father, it has nothing to do with me."

Hearing this, Thomas' eyes trembled slightly. In addition to being dim, there seemed to be a slight recognition.

"You are much more mature than those little guys."

When they were suddenly cueed, several people who were eating potato chips, jerky and drinking soda were stunned for a moment, and then they all shrank their necks at the same time, expressing that they just wanted to watch the fun for a while.

Bruce didn't care about the little guys' thoughts, because there were more important things to do than them. That was to find a proper solution to this ethical issue that made him feel irritated and headache.

"Don't say those useless things. I can allow you to stay in my city." Bruce took a deep breath and said coldly:

"But you should know that you are not my father. You are just two similar leaves on the same tree. Even though we have the same blood flowing in our bodies and have experienced similar tragedies, we are not in the same Crime Alley after all... You know what I mean. This is also my biggest concession."

"Will Batman compromise?" Thomas asked, "Or is it Bruce who compromises?"

"Shut up, I won't tolerate you much longer."

In response, Thomas just shook his head and said, "You can't fool me...just like you can't fool yourself."

"I know that I am not your biological father. We are just poor fellows from different worlds who long to be saved. Even though we have the same blood and both have inherited the name Wayne, I am not your biological father after all."

"But I don't care."

Thomas said coldly: "I want to save you. This matter has nothing to do with you. You can resist. Come on, because I know you will do it. You will defend your city and your soul. Because you are Batman!"

When Thomas said the last word "Baitman", he almost squeezed these words out from between his teeth.

"You may be longing for redemption, but I'm not. I'm hating, hating everything. I hate Gotham, I hate myself, I hate that alley, I hate this miserable fate!"

"I know you are expecting me to agree to your terms so that you can live peacefully and enjoy an endless life in Gotham of this world. And you can also draw strength from it..."

"Actually...I thought so too."

Bruce's expression did not change at all after hearing Thomas' words, but his fists had already clenched silently - as Batman, he had already realized Thomas's thoughts.

Just as I said to Thomas, Thomas responded with the same words:

"Stop being Batman."
