In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 281: Gotham play house (Part 2)
"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"
, the days when I was a spiritual mentor in Meiman
When Selena took Aisha from Bruce, it was already a little difficult. After all, Aisha is not a baby. It is already a bit difficult to hold a three or four-year-old child. Selena is not as tall as Bruce. Aisha, who was in a state of excitement, naturally struggled even more.
But at this time, after a brief pause, the trapeze show reached its climax again. The dazzling aerial movements made Elsa completely excited. She jumped forward vigorously, but Selena couldn't catch it at all.
Aisha ran directly to the seat in the front row, then climbed along the chair to the ground, and passed under the chair in the previous row, and Selena followed the same route.
But who knows, Aisha seemed to have awakened some super power, and the speed was incredible, and she disappeared into the seats in the auditorium almost instantly.
Selena was completely lost, so she could only look for it row by row.
At the same time, a small black figure rushed past the backstage of the stage. The owner of the circus sensed some movement. He turned around suddenly, but found nothing.
At this moment, the circus owner is holding a saw and approaching the stakes that hold the ropes for the trapeze show.
In the trapeze show, the rope used for swinging is hung from a higher rope, and the circus owner grinningly approached the stake holding the highest rope with a saw.
The circus owner held the saw and started sawing the thick rope, cursing in relief while sawing, but just when the rope was about to be cut, a small figure appeared instantly and bit him on the chest on the arm.
Aisha is not here to seek justice. She is interested in things that move. When the circus owner saw something, his arm moved up and down, and only his arm moved in the dark backstage. Of course Aisha I bit it without thinking.
Unfortunately, Aisha's weight is too light, and the bite is not heavy, just like biting the arms of Bruce and Selena, except for leaving a row of teeth marks, it did not cause substantial damage , and only made the circus owner's arm stagnate for a moment.
The thick rope that had been sawn to its limit was only left with the last thread connected together, but it still broke in the end.
But it was the few seconds of lag that brought Bruce, who came out of the bathroom, closer to the stage.
The moment the rope snapped, the two people hanging on the rope began to fall, but it would take a few seconds for such a long rope to be completely pulled out from the other end. In seconds, Bruce rushed onto the stage in an instant, and grabbed the flying rope in the shadow of the curtain.
But he is only one person, and there are two people falling on the other end of the rope. His weight is not enough to stop the two people on the rope from falling. Bruce considered this problem before grabbing the rope, so he grabbed it with one hand. He wrapped his arms around the rope twice, and then quickly grabbed the curtain beside him with his other hand.
With a fixed point, the rope stopped pulling away, and the Graysons at the other end of the rope stopped in mid-air.
Suddenly, Bruce heard the sound of air-conditioning, and he turned his head to see, behind the curtain, standing the little boy who claimed to be the heir of the Grayson family.
He opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth wide, looking at Bruce in shock.
There is still a distance from the auditorium to the stage, and there are several rows of seats in front of Bruce's position, and the stage is higher than the auditorium, and there are three steps beside it, Bruce completed it in just a few seconds A series of actions such as turning over the seat, rushing up the steps, grabbing the rope, and grabbing the curtain.
The quick response, smooth movement, and precise handling made this look less like a hero saving lives, and more like an art performance. In the eyes of the little Grayson onlookers, Bruce's whole body was shining.
Bruce sighed and said, "Don't be dazed, come and help pull the rope."
Little Grayson reacted from the shock, only to realize that his parents were about to fall just now, the shock on his face turned into anger, and while helping Bruce pull the rope down, he said: "It must be that circus The group boss did it! He has been displeased with my father for a long time!!"
After a while, the rope was pulled back to its original position, and the two actors returned to the platform. They walked down and thanked Bruce.
Ms. Grayson was already in tears, and Little Grayson said angrily: "It must be him! Let's go to him to settle the score!"
"Don't go! Dick! Come back!" Mrs. Grayson called him, and the boy named Dick had rushed out, but was finally called back by his mother.
"Can you tell me what's going on?"
At this time, Mrs. Grayson was on the verge of collapse. She hugged her husband and kept crying, and Mr. Grayson was also a little decadent. The two couples were just ordinary people who had just experienced a life-and-death crisis. The fear of not knowing when they will fall in midair has completely crushed their hearts.
As if looking for an outlet to vent, Mr. Grayson said to Bruce: "...I know he did it, the owner of the circus, and we don't want to work here, but we can't help it."
"There should be a lot of circuses on the east coast, why don't you go there?"
Mr. Grayson sighed and said, "Shouldn't you pay attention to this aspect? My father, Old Grayson, is the trapeze artist of the previous generation. He fell down and hit the edge of the stage props, he..."
"Okay, I know, you don't need to elaborate, please forgive me."
"It was a performance at a high-profile charity dinner. Many of the participants were dignitaries. They had never seen blood. This **** death frightened many of them. The reputation of the Grayson family was ruined. , the big circus is not willing to hire us, afraid that we will make such a mess again..."
"Only this circus is willing to accept us, because this is Gotham, and people are not afraid of us falling to our death..."
This reason is both absurd and reasonable, and Bruce couldn't say anything to refute. He asked the Graysons: "You are not from Gotham, are you?"
"Actually, we have been here for a long time and bought our own house. We are half locals, but our hometown is in Bludhaven."
"Let's go back, back to Bludhaven!" Mrs. Grayson sobbed and said, "Give up, we can't let little Dick live in such a fearful environment..."
Mr. Grayson pursed his lips, his face was haggard, Mrs. Grayson continued to cry and said: "I know, I know you have always wanted to revive the family business, but this is really not going to work, you have to think about it, If we die, what will poor little Dick do? Orphans without parents in Gotham are likely to be sent to that horrible foster school and..."
Mrs. Grayson began to cry again, and Bruce heard some information in her words, but it was not easy to ask now. Little Grayson went up to comfort his mother, and the family of three hugged each other.
When Bruce walked into the backstage, Selena was finishing the last knot, and it was the owner of the circus who was **** by her. Aisha still bit his arm and refused to let go.
When Bruce went to hug Aisha, he thought he was going to fight her again, but unexpectedly, Aisha let go of his mouth easily.
Seeing the saw next to him, Bruce knew what was going on. He called Gordon, then hugged Aisha, and left the circus with Selena.
Just as they got into the sports car and were about to drive home, a figure appeared in front of his car. Bruce let go of the steering wheel, turned his head to look at the figure, and asked, "...Dick? You What's wrong? What are you doing?"
Dick came around from the front of the car, stood beside Bruce's driver's door, and said, "My parents are going back to Bludhaven."
"Then you should congratulate them, it's much better than Gotham, and you should be able to live a stable life."
"But I don't want to go back..."
"Why?"
Dick pursed his lips. Although he was young, he had a resolute look. He said: "My grandfather's death was not an accident at all."
"How do you know?"
"I've looked into it." Dick said very firmly: "The crossbar where he took his last curtain call has been tampered with. I checked the rope, and the strangle marks on it showed that it was a wrong knot. , the knot used to fix the crossbar should not be like that at all..."
Bruce narrowed his eyes and asked him, "So,"
"You're not an ordinary person, are you?" Dick said, grabbing Bruce's car door with one hand, "I've been learning acrobatics from my father for a long time, and I know exactly how difficult your moves are." , Those muscle power skills can never be performed on the spot, you should practice for a long time..."
Dick kept pursing his lips, and he said to Bruce: "My parents gave up, but I won't give up. I want to stay here to restore the reputation of the Grayson family and avenge my grandfather."
"More importantly, if the cause of my grandfather's death cannot be found out and the murderer who killed him cannot be found, then my parents will not be safe."
"But..." Dick said with a helpless expression: "I know what Gotham is, and the skills I learned from my father are not enough for me to live here, and I can't convince me My parents left me here, so..."
Dick took a deep breath, with a melancholy expression on his face that didn't match his age, he looked at Bruce and said, "If you allow me to study with you, I think, one day I can fulfill my wish, and You saved my parents, if I followed you, I don't think they would object..."
Before Bruce could answer, Dick said, "...well, I know this sounds ridiculous, how could I expect a rich guy..."
Dick let go, sighed, and waved his arm for Bruce to drive.
He also knew that he was just acting impulsively, instead of leaving with his parents, he stayed in Gotham alone, and wanted to learn from the richest man in the world? This is simply a fantasy.
Bruce looked at Dick, but he had a very strange feeling. People always see themselves from another person at a certain moment. In fact, Dick's appearance is completely different from him, and he is only seven or eight years old. A little boy who is not a character, but his tone of voice makes Bruce feel that he is very special.
Maybe in this world, there are two people who are naturally compatible with each other. In short, Dick is very pleasing to the eyes of Bruce, and Bruce is very pleasing to the eyes of Dick~IndoMTL.com~ But pleasing to the eye, Bruce has no intention of adopting an adopted son or a daughter It has almost driven him and Selena crazy.
Wait, daughter...
Bruce looked back at Aisha, who was completely fixed in the child safety seat but was still restless, and then glanced at Dick, who seemed much more mature than his peers, at the moment Dick turned to leave , Bruce stopped him.
Half an hour later, in Wayne Manor, Bruce dragged Elsa's armpit, showed it to Dick like a pet dog, and said to him, "This is your sister."
"Wait, are you going to adopt me? I..."
Before he finished speaking, Aisha opened her mouth, and the fangs in her mouth startled Dick. He asked in shock, "What's going on??? What about the teeth..."
"He was born with deformed teeth, and he was too young to correct them." Bruce replied without thinking.
"Uh, well... wait, her eyes seem to be..." Dick pointed to Elsa's eyes and said.
"Heterochromia, follow his mother." Bruce replied naturally.
"Is... is it? But... why can't she talk?"
"Children with autism, I have already made an appointment with a psychiatrist." Bruce answered fluently.
"But..."
At this time, Alfred came down from upstairs, and he asked Bruce with a face full of hope: "Sir, this is the young master, right? Have you settled the legal issue? I think we can... "
