Chapter 41 Yes, I am the child of Superman and Batman! 【VIP】
498.
Yesterday we spent the whole day admiring the scenery of the parallel world and gained a lot of knowledge.
It was not until the vibrations caused by the main world became weaker and weaker that we packed up and returned to our rooms.
I had just laid down on the bed when I felt the space around me vibrate again. In the blink of an eye, I was thrown from my warm and soft bed into a gloomy and dark alley.
Wow, Batman is arguing with Red Hood. They are very aggressive and soon they start to wrestle with each other, punching and pressing each other step by step.
A little red bird landed beside me.
"You look like you're having a lot of fun, ma'am."
"Is it obvious? I thought I was pretty restrained." I asked.
"...Of course, because I don't think an unhappy person would crack melon seeds loudly while watching them fight." Red Robin replied gracefully.
"Is that so? Or maybe I'm just a bit of a pushover?" I shrugged. "Don't worry, Xiaohong. I mean no harm."
My face, still radiant in the darkness, revealed a smile very similar to that of Bruce Baby. "I came to see you. Why don't you invite me to the Bat Cave?"
"Tim?"
I lowered my voice and spoke softly.
Red Robin's demeanor remained unchanged. Although others might not be able to see it, I knew he was very nervous and had even started typing a distress signal on the communication channel.
Hehehe, it’s so fun to scare my little brother.
499.
Red Robin took me back to their base, the Batcave.
When I stepped into this familiar yet unfamiliar cave, all eyes were instantly focused on me.
Batman sat in front of the Batcomputer, Nightwing leaned on the side with his arms folded, Red Hood was still glaring at Batman unhappily, and Robin's knife had begun to twirl between his fingertips - as if ready to stab at any time.
"So," Batman said in a deep voice, "who are you?"
I was about to answer when I heard Nightwing mutter, "She looks...really like B."
"It's not just her looks." Red Robin added quietly beside him, "Just now outside, when she was standing there watching you fight, her demeanor was simply—"
"—A gender-swapped old man." Red Hood finished the sentence with gritted teeth.
“…”
"Don't whisper, I can hear you." I reminded them with a smile and flicked the dust off the corner of my clothes.
Everyone suddenly became as quiet as a chicken.
The next second, Robin stepped onto the conference table and drew his knife, slashing towards me.
Oh, Damian is so cranky.
I reached out and caught the knife with my bare hands.
The metal made a crisp sound when it hit my palm, and the blade shattered into pieces. Even so, it didn't even leave a white mark on my skin.
Then, with a little effort, I lifted Damian up and threw him aside like a package.
"What are you doing? You pull out a knife the moment you meet? Is this what Batman taught you? How rude." I clapped my hands and looked at them calmly.
Nightwing took a deep breath and couldn't help asking: "Wait, wait a minute...you are not-"
He took a deep breath and pointed at me with a look of shock on his face: "The female L of Batman and Superman, right?!"
Batman: "..."
Superman (far away in Metropolis, completely unaware): “?”
I blinked and seriously considered the possibility for a second.
Hmm, sounds interesting?
"You guessed right." I nodded happily, smiled brightly and gave a thumbs up.
"Yes, I'm the child of Superman and Batman!"
500.
As a result, everyone present fell into deeper shock.
To convince them, I decided to demonstrate my abilities a little.
"First of all..." I floated three feet off the ground and hovered in the air.
"I can fly."
Red Robin held his forehead, Nightwing's eyes widened, and Red Hood cursed: "Damn it, which lab did you come out of again!"
"What makes you assume Superman can't have children?" I winked at him. "Be careful or I'll sue you for violating Superman's freedom."
501.
"And then—" I blew a breath at the training dummy in the distance, and frost instantly covered its entire body. In the blink of an eye, it had turned into an ice sculpture.
"Freeze Breath."
Nightwing stared at the dummy blankly: "I feel like the Batcave has gotten a little colder..."
"Of course, I'll make it warm here again." I snapped my fingers with a smile, my eyes slightly heated up, and red thermal vision shot out instantly, accurately splitting the dummy in half.
"Heat vision."
Batman's jaw had shifted from shock to a subtle disbelief, as if he were rethinking his life.
"Finally..." I chopped the table into pieces with my bare hands and pulled out the lead from the mechanical pencil.
Click.
A diamond shines again.
"Invulnerable to swords and guns, and can crush diamonds with bare hands."
The whole place was silent.
502.
Nightwing's mouth was slightly open, and his expression seemed complicated, as if his three views had been shocked; a faint "damn" sound came from under the Red Hood's helmet, and his face looked ugly as if he had eaten a fly.
And Batman... He pressed his temples, revealing a rare, extremely tired expression.
. ” he whispered.
503.
"Don't curse me in your heart, I can hear it." I winked at them.
"Fuck, and Martian Manhunter..." I heard Red Hood curse under his breath.
"Why are you deliberately emptying your mind, my dear family?"
I flashed to the Red Hood's side like a ghost, and poked the big red bat on his chest with my fingertips. "Sister, I know... what you are thinking. Is there something else you want to hide from me? What is there that I can't know, little Todd?"
The atmosphere in the Batcave was almost frozen, and everyone was facing a serious enemy.
Red Hood turned his head stiffly, his voice tinged with gritted teeth: "Don't say my name in such a weird tone."
I blinked and tilted my head innocently: "What about Xiao, Jie, Sen?"
Red Hood took a sudden step back, and he looked like he wanted to cut his own ear off and chop it into pieces.
Red Robin was already searching the Batcave database for "Secret Child of Superman and Batman" as quickly as possible. Nightwing rubbed his temples vigorously, trying to clear his head. Damian drew his sword and stared at me warily, as if he was about to pounce and strike me.
Batman took a deep breath and whispered, "Who are you?"
I smiled even more cheerfully, even showing a little of my fangs. "Oh, Father, don't you recognize your dear daughter L? If you don't believe me, I'll tell you a little about your situation in my world."
"Dick." I moved over and patted his shoulder. "In my world, you've been complained about seven times in a row this month by magazines for your excessive movements when fighting criminals. It's having a bad influence."
"Uh... sorry, I'll pay attention?" Nightwing said tentatively, touching his head.
"And Jason," I tapped his arm muscles, "last time when I was fighting for territory with Black Mask and sat on his lap, do you know how many people came to ask me if you were gay?"
Red Hood was speechless, and said with a distorted expression: "Who is spreading rumors about me?"
"Tim," I smiled, but before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, I said, "You've had way too much caffeine this month, haven't you? Maybe you haven't slept in four days, including today? It's a miracle you're still here."
Red Robin humbly held his head, a dazed look on his face. "I'm sorry, no wonder I feel so tired... I'll go to bed soon."
"And the girls who aren't here. Barbara's been holed up in her safe house eating instant noodles for seven days straight. Stephanie's been getting up in the middle of the night and eating all the desserts Alfred has put in the fridge. Cassan, the plants next to her dining table are almost dead because she throws things she doesn't want to eat in there every day."
"Damian, he made my nine-tailed fox gain 20 kilograms." I smiled coldly at Damian's suddenly proud gaze. "So for the next three months, I'm not allowing him to enter the zoo in the forest behind us until my nine-tailed fox loses weight successfully."
"Bruce." Everyone held their breath.
I shrugged slightly. "Dad has been following a normal schedule for half of this month. I hope he can keep it up."
Everyone gasped.
504.
Red Hood is shocked: "Shit, you called Bruce 'Dad'?!"
"Of course, my dear brother." I smiled and patted Jason's shoulder. "I know you're actually very jealous. You also want to lie on Bruce and call him father, right?"
"Don't be shy." I hooked my arm around Jason's neck, whispering into his ear like a venomous snake tempting Eve to eat the apple. "Don't you really want Bruce to praise you for 'doing a good job, son'? Do you want to be the son he's most proud of and worthy of boasting about? Do you want to hear him say that he needs you, can't leave you, that you are the most important, that you are our family?"
The whole audience fell into an eerie silence.
"...Huh?" Red Hood's voice changed. "What did you say?"
"I said, you are my favorite brother, the Robin with the most strategic mind." I smiled slightly, and emphasized the word "most", my voice was gentle as if I was coaxing a child.
Robin slammed the table and stood up, seething with anger: "I'm beginning to question your judgment. I am father's best Robin!"
"Oh, Damian, are you jealous?" I looked at him with a smile, "Don't worry, I like you too, but Jason is more special."
Before the Red Hood could react, Robin had already made all the preparations for action, drawing his sword and ready to charge: "Then I'll show you who is better between us."
However, just when the atmosphere was about to explode, a familiar and brisk voice suddenly rang out in the air of the Batcave.
"Really? I always thought my sister loved me the most."
505.
A figure slowly walked out from the shadows.
A blue-black combat suit, the iconic blue bird logo, deep blue eyes with a mischievous smile - it's Nightwing.
No, it's the "other" Nightwing.
I turned around and sure enough, I saw Nightwing himself still standing there, the expression on his face had changed from shock to disbelief.
"...Dick?" Red Hood frowned, looked at the newcomer in front of him, and then looked at his familiar Nightwing, "What's going on?"
"Oh, let me introduce you." I blinked and a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth. "This is Dick Grayson from 'my world'."
The Batcave fell into silence again.
"So..." Red Robin held his forehead with his hand, his voice exhausted, "Not only do we have to face a mysterious 'Super Batgirl L', but we also have to face Nightwing from another world?"
"That's right." I nodded happily. "Surprised? Unexpected?"
"What a surprise!!!" Red Hood finally couldn't help but get angry, "How many more people are going to jump out of the other world?!"
"Don't worry, it's not many, just two people for now." I smiled and patted his shoulder. "Besides, my Grayson is a very interesting person."
"Your Grayson?" This time it was the local Nightwing who spoke, his arms folded across his chest, eyebrows raised. "What do you mean by that?"
"What I mean is—" Dick from our world suddenly laughed. He walked over to me without hesitation, put his arm around my shoulders, and gave the local Nightwing a smug look. "In her world, I'm her most beloved brother."
Local Nightwing: "..."
Red Hood: "..."
Red Robin: "..."
Robin: “…”
Batman: "..."
The air suddenly became quiet.
506.
"Ah, really? Sister." A figure stretched lazily and walked out. "You said yesterday that I was your favorite brother?"
The local Red Robin looked at me subtly. "Oh? So, I'm your favorite over there?"
“Uh…” My eyes wandered, feeling the growing pressure in the Batcave. I smiled innocently, “Haha… Everyone is very special to me…”
But obviously, this vague answer could not satisfy the younger brothers present.
"Oh?" Red Hood sneered, "So I'm just 'special'?"
"Wait, don't you think that's not the point?" The local Nightwing finally came to his senses and pointed at his otherworldly version in shock. "What did this guy just say? 'My sister's favorite'?!"
"Yes." Dick from another world smiled confidently, as if he was sure of victory. "I am definitely the most likable one in our family."
The local Nightwing had a complicated expression: "...Why do I feel like I've been backstabbed by a parallel world version of myself?"
"I don't believe it!" The local Robin jumped out angrily, his sword almost pointing at my nose. "Grayson must have used some special means to deceive you, causing you to make such an unreliable and foolish judgment."
"Hey, Damian, don't be so irritable." Red Robin from another world smiled and put his arm around my other arm. "You have to get used to it. After all, in our world, my sister dotes on me the most."
Xiaohong, the smell of tea is already spreading from your body.
The air pressure in the Batcave is even lower.
507.
The local Red Robin stared at him: "..."
Our world's Tim smiled provocatively, "What? Are you jealous?"
"..." The local Red Robin took a deep breath and forced out a perfect fake smile, "No, I just want to remind you-"
He raised his hand and pointed at Jason, Dick, Damian, and Bruce, who had an unfathomable expression in the corner. "--Did you know that you just succeeded in offending everyone?"
Tim from our world: "..."
Tim from our world: "So what? It's a fact that my sister likes me the most."
"I think I heard someone talking in their sleep." Jason from our world appeared. He walked over and put his chin on my shoulder. "You said I was your favorite brother, right?"
Damian crossed his arms and walked out with a look of disdain on his face. "Hmph, Leona entrusted me with her beloved zoo. Anyone with a bit of common sense can guess which brother she likes the most, right?"
"If you compare it to that, she even gave me her botanical garden to look after. I'm many years older than you."
"I just think you're free labor, idiot. Don't you know that? You have no self-awareness at all."
Um... well, you're all my favorite little brothers... haha...
They're all unique, unlike any other boy I know. Every one of them gives me a sense of alienation, a sense of loneliness, a sense of being both close and distant. I've heard many people say they're lonely, but they're the only ones who are truly lonely, just like Borges said, "You are but a moment of solitude..."
Red Hood suddenly snorted coldly and looked at me with a deep gaze: "...So, in your world, where do I rank?"
“…”
I took a deep breath, smiled, and made a big heart with my hands: "Haha, rankings don't matter, you're all my good brothers!"
"ha?!"
"Explain it to me clearly—"
"Who do you like the most?!"
"If you don't tell me, I will..."
The Batcave suddenly exploded, the brothers started arguing with each other, and even Batman frowned, revealing a tired expression.
Alfred, standing nearby, held a plate of snacks and watched everything with great grace, a kind smile on his face. "Looks like I might have to make a few more midnight snacks today..."
