Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Retracting the Preface
"Batman, which kid in your charge did this?"
After the Justice League finished its regular meeting, Wonder Woman Diana sent a photo of a slender figure in a green skirt to the group, and specifically tagged her two colleagues Batman and Superman.
"Right now everyone on Twitter is discussing whether or not the Magic Boy's true identity is a Kryptonian."
As for Batman's family, his colleagues had all heard him talk about it to some extent.
Some time ago, Batman suddenly said in the group that his dead second son had been resurrected, and asked what might have caused it and whether the resurrection effect could be suddenly revoked.
If Batman hadn't explained quickly, his colleagues would have thought that Batman had another mental breakdown and almost went to Gotham to send Batman for a mental evaluation.
After all, Jason Todd had been buried in the ground for a year. What kind of resurrection magic could bring back someone who had been dead for so long?
After explaining his second son's resurrection and proving that he was indeed mentally sound this time, Batman sent another explosive message to the group chat: "If you see a Kryptonian with a uniform that looks like Green Lantern but a face that resembles a young Superman, do not stop him."
This familiar scene made Superman type "Send" without even thinking: [Luthor again?]
Don't say he's overreacting, just ask if Lex Luthor really did this!
Could it be that after Connor, Luthor used his genes to create a new Kryptonian?
"No, this is Benjamin. He's an intern sent to me by a superhero group from another universe." Batman briefly explained Benjamin and Li Hua's situation in the group chat, essentially guaranteeing the identities of the two children.
But more questions followed, and Wonder Woman asked: "Is Benjamin the equivalent of Connor from another world? Was he also created by Luthor?"
"No, Benjamin is from Earth." Batman said, "He has a watch that can store alien DNA, allowing him to transform into various aliens. Because the three boys needed to go to space a while ago on an important mission, Jason and Li Hua went to Luthor and stole Superman's DNA."
All the superheroes cheered and exclaimed at this feat.
Lex Luthor has been stealing other people's DNA for many years. I wonder if he has ever thought that one day his own DNA stock will be stolen and used by someone to murder a living person.
After learning that the other party had a reason for what was happening, and most importantly, that it wasn't Luthor's doing, Superman relaxed a lot and began to care about these children: "What problems did they encounter? Have they solved them? I can help if you need me."
"Before they came to me, the three of us had already solved the problem." Batman said, "I'm afraid you can't help much, because the problem they were dealing with at the time was how to make baby food for Benjamin's newborn."
Batman's short words brought huge shock to the adults in the group.
Even Aquaman, who was diving in various senses, exploded: [I thought you just said Benjamin was only 15 years old.]
Wonder Woman: [Oh my god...wait, you said the child was just born into this world and the mother is fine...]
wrong.
Didn’t Batman just say that there were two boys coming?
hiss--
…
Batman and his colleagues paused for a moment before replying: "The Omnitrix Benjamin is holding was developed as a bridge connecting various species and a Noah's Ark. One of the aliens was a hermaphrodite that reproduced regularly. Benjamin happened to be there, and she gave birth to 14 alien babies. This means Benjamin alone is the parent of his children."
The originally lively group chat was instantly silent as if it had been frozen by Superman's freezing breath. It can be seen that even aliens, Atlanteans, Amazons and other non-human races need time to buffer under the impact of such a large amount of information.
At the same time, they all expressed sympathy for the boy who suddenly became a mother overnight.
Wonder Woman: [What a fascinating ecosystem! I can't help but wonder what such a fascinating species looks like.]
Batman: [It's the black and blue creature I posted in the forum asking if anyone has seen it. It's a Nakfuji. Benjamin named his Nakfuji form "Ice Ghost."]
This happened just a few days ago, and everyone still remembers it... Mainly because the feat performed by the "Ice Ghost" was indeed something they had never heard of before.
Flash: [The one with the three Batmobiles?]
Batman: [Yes. Later I learned that it was because the Nakfuji instincts dominated Benjamin's brain. Eating the Batmobile was partly to replenish the nutrients needed for pregnancy, and partly to build a nest.]
Everyone: ...
I don’t know what to say, so I’ll just sigh at the wonders of nature.
Superman: [What kind of food did those babies eat that would cause them to raid Luthor's lab at night and steal Superman's DNA into space?]
It is necessary to find some special substances that are difficult or impossible to provide on Earth, which makes Superman worry about whether the boys can get suitable food to raise the babies.
Batman also said that Benjamin's transformation was time-limited, meaning that even in his Kryptonian form, he couldn't stray too far from Earth, limiting his search range. If he knew what the babies needed, he could help find them.
Martian Manhunter: [Some kind of metal?] Considering their adults can fit three of them in a Batmobile.
"No, metal at this stage is just a tooth-grinding snack for the Ice Ghost cubs. Their main diet at this stage is high-calorie food." Batman said, "They need to eat solar plasma. Benjamin will take them back and forth between the sun and the earth every day, so they need Superman's DNA."
Such a high-calorie food, right? What a vibrant ecosystem!
Everyone fell silent again, and Cyborg, whose body was half mechanical, decided to stay away from Gotham for the time being to avoid being bitten by the cubs.
And Benjamin is incredibly receptive! According to Batman's timeline, the time between Benjamin and the other two boys learning of their conditions, expecting their babies, and starting to care for the entire litter was less than three days. Even Superman didn't accept Connor that quickly!
Based on this level of acceptance, this colleague from another world has a promising future!
Superman: [I understand. From now on, I will help keep an eye on the children on the sun to prevent them from getting into danger.]
Although no one usually goes to the sun, the fact that he has passed by the sun for so many days without finding any babies is enough to prove that those babies are actually very good at hiding. But it is still necessary to pay attention. After all, there are so many crazy aliens in this universe. What if something happens to a child when there is no parent watching?
...Time returns to the present, facing the gossiping gazes of Wonder Woman and his colleagues, Batman said: "This is Benjamin. A few days ago, something went wrong with his magic with Li Hua, and he can't take off the clothes."
Finally, Benjamin slept for a night while sitting on the headboard of his guest room bed in the magical girl dress. After his magic power was exhausted and his transformation was terminated, his wand rolled out of his clothes by itself.
However, this incident obviously left some psychological trauma on the parties involved, because until today, Benjamin still deliberately keeps a distance from Bruce, for fear that Bruce will throw something at him again.
Fortunately, Benjamin remembered to wear a mask while wearing Superman's face. Otherwise, the internet might be buzzing about "Superman's illegitimate child" instead of "Magic Boy."
"He's wearing a skirt outside with Clark's face on, and then calling himself Brother Li Hua?" Aquaman laughed so hard that he fell backwards. "Young people are really creative. I must meet this kid if I get a chance."
Superman suggested, "B, what do you think about me bringing Connor over to meet them someday? They're about the same age and should be able to get along well."
"No." Batman decisively rejected Clark's proposal.
He knew how much these three boys could pull off in a week, and he was genuinely terrified by their ability to pull off something. Even with only one of the team being an occasional Kryptonian, and Benjamin being annoyed by his super hearing and not turning Kryptonian unless absolutely necessary, if Connor went there...
On the bright side, they will most likely bring Connor along to do the trick; on the bad side, it will just allow Connor to learn to "have a flash of inspiration" and start doing the trick too.
The evidence is Tim, who has even learned how to play pranks on his old father.
Because of the recent preparations to restore Jason's social identity, the three boys have been living in Wayne Manor these days. As a result, every day when Bruce wakes up at noon, he can see different kinds of aliens, flying magic and happy boys in Wayne Manor.
Bruce could now calmly walk past a group of ice ghost pups chasing bat darts with [Move] card magic, ignore Li Hua using [Earth] cards to loosen the soil in the garden and the shaking of the ground, and ignore the boys who kept fighting in various forms at various times and places.
Bruce finally discovered that among the three boys, Li Hua was the least troublesome.
Although Li Hua always followed Jason and Benjamin when they were doing things and also put in a lot of effort, compared with these two people, he rarely took the initiative to do anything that would make people lose their sight.
"Um, Batman," Cyborg said suddenly, "I just saw something on the internet that I thought you might want to check out."
With that, Cyborg sent a few links to Batman. Before Batman could click on the link, he saw the big words on the title.
Shocking! The magic boy frightened the scarecrow to its knees in public!
The magical boy scares the scarecrow crazy, is his purpose suspected to be the scarecrow's second generation?
Who will be crowned the Master of Fear?
Another competitor emerges in the niche market. Who will be the next to fight for the top spot?
Speculations on the Magic Boy's Future Career Plan
Batman: “…”
Take back what I said.
He left for less than a day. Li Hua, what on earth did you do?
