Chapter 119 Chapter 119 [VIP]
Robin asked, "Did you find out when your birthday is?"
Megan nodded, speaking slowly and nonchalantly, "Tomorrow." But she didn't know much about birthdays, and it was only when Robin mentioned it to her that she noticed it. She picked up the word from the textbook and noticed the word "celebration" that always went with it.
Why celebrate birthdays?
When she asked this question, Robin, who was sitting on the horizontal bar on the other side of the ladder, leaned over and took her hand smoothly and naturally. He said brightly and gently, "Because your birthday is the day you came into this world. It's a very important date, symbolizing your arrival, so it's definitely worth celebrating."
Robin's tone was very sure. He turned around and looked at Megan who happened to be looking at him. Even though his eyes were covered by the domino mask, the smile on his face made it easy to imagine his overall expression. He must be very excited and extremely serious.
He told his friends that this was undoubtedly something worth celebrating, but he thought of the information he had read. Megan lost her closest relative when she was still young, and her father later raised her alone. Megan had lived a tight and miserable life for most of her life at such a young age. She was even abducted once. Only after that did her fate take a turn for the better.
Then the other hand had its own ideas. It reached out and pulled Megan towards itself. Since they were both sitting on the second horizontal bar from the top of the ladder, the distance between them was very close. If they moved a little closer, their bodies would be pressed against each other. Robin also tilted his head and rested it against Megan's head as a comfort.
Even though he didn't say anything that would make Megan sad, he still wanted to comfort her, "Growing up year after year is a great thing!"
This was completely a way to coax a child, but Megan was a child after all. Robin calculated the date and found that he was two years older than her and a few days more, so Megan was his child. Even if she didn't understand many things herself, he could think of them and would care about and consider her.
When treating friends you like, you will not care about the cost. Instead, you will think that giving is a kind of gain and you will get satisfaction from the heart. Robin is like this, but he never thinks he is right, imposes his own ideas on her, or does things without thinking that only move himself.
He had once lived in Crime Alley, met all kinds of people, and was almost dragged into the mire by gravity, but he was lucky. After embarking on a new path, he understood one thing more clearly -
That is the kind of person you should never become.
Robin and Megan leaned against each other. The combat uniform and small cape on his body had many functions, such as bulletproof, warm and heat-insulating, so he didn't feel cold even on winter nights. Except for the exposed parts, he should not feel any temperature, especially the back was blocked by two layers of material, but he felt that the place where they were leaning against each other exuded warmth.
Megan didn't say anything after Robin finished speaking, but he was used to it. He shook his hanging legs and suddenly felt Megan move, obviously going to get off. He knew why without thinking.
Because sitting on the horizontal bar of the ladder really hurts your butt, no one likes to sit on it except for playing.
He jumped down lightly, then looked up at Megan as she slowly climbed down. When she reached the last step and wanted to jump down, he reached out and pinched Megan's armpit, then carried her down with a smile.
Megan's attempt to be naughty was dashed, and she was about to hit Robin with her head, but he ran away, and the two of them played a game of chase.
The building had been abandoned a long time ago, but there were still many things left inside, especially since they were on the top floor. Even now, people regard the top floors of commercial and office buildings as a symbol of status and wealth, so when the company moved away, many old items were left behind. Even if some were sold, there were still many left.
After seeing Batman's safe houses all over the place, Robin also actively prepared for himself. Later, he took a fancy to this place, but he only cleaned it up briefly. After that, under Batman's teaching of "Safe House Layout Key Points", he gave it up and no longer regarded it as a safe house that could be put into use.
Since he didn't come here often, there was still dust here. The two of them played for a while and then stopped playing.
It was almost evening, and a dim light was falling from the horizon. They happened to be standing in front of the window, with blurry and long shadows cast behind them.
When Robin and Megan are together, he becomes more lively and childish, doing things to Shadow, and Shadow follows him because he has found a new game. Megan also follows suit, but her movements are clumsy and she doesn't know what she wants to do or what she wants Shadow to become.
She didn't think about anything at this moment, and her actions were just because... she made a move, and then the sunlight and shadow responded to her.
Megan opened her arms in a daze, staring down at her shadow that fell on the ground and spread into the shadows deeper into the house. She moved slightly and found the shadow of her arm.
Robin next to him was agile and quick-witted. He could simulate many animals and scenes with just his hands. Megan seemed to be immersed in her world again and stopped his movements. He suddenly took off his little cloak and put it on Megan.
When they came, Robin opened the window of the floor where they were staying to avoid the enclosed environment and the unpleasant smell. His cloak was covering Megan. Just then, a gust of wind blew, blowing up the corners of the cloak, and her shadow moved with it.
Robin said, "Look! Wings."
He has bats at home, and he is also a robin. The cloak is their wings. Now Robin took off his "wings" and gave them to Megan. She also understood what he meant. She waved her arms to lift up the cloak, and she looked very proud.
Megan pointed downstairs and said, "Let's play!" She wanted to jump down from here to play.
Robin refused decisively, "No, it will be dangerous."
Seeing Megan turn her head and stare at him, Robin didn't think she was angry. Sometimes her behavior and emotions were just to attract attention. Even though she often didn't speak or respond, Robin knew that she needed a sense of security. He reached out a hand and gently poked her cheek. His hand felt soft. He tilted his head and asked, "It's evening. What do you want to eat?"
What delicious food can two children come up with together? The best thing is of course the fast food that adults are not allowed to eat.
Robin asked Megan to stay and confirmed again that the environment was safe and Megan would not get hurt if she played alone, so he went to buy fast food alone and came back in more than 20 minutes. He bought hamburgers, cola, sausages and a family bucket. Megan's appetite was obviously not as much as Robin who exercised more every day, but Robin made an estimate that the two of them could just finish all the food.
On the way, the two children's guardians called. Bob asked Megan, and she said she was playing with friends and would not be home for dinner. Penny, Robin's family, also called. Hearing that the two children were eating unhealthy fast food, Penny was silent for a moment, then said in a flat tone, "Really? Your father at least knew to invite the lady to dinner in the restaurant."
And what did Robin do? Eat fast food with his friends in an abandoned building.
Robin was a little scared when he heard the old butler's voice, but he was still smiling. He didn't feel that he was being blamed. He still said in a very proud and complacent tone, "There's nothing we can do about it. We all like to eat hamburgers and fried chicken." Then he quickly turned off the headset. He looked at Megan and couldn't help laughing, and Megan was nodding at his words.
They put all the garbage into the paper bags of the fast food restaurant and checked to see if there was any oil stains leaking out. As night fell, there was no light in the building, so they had to evacuate. Robin cleaned up all the traces in the building and took Megan and the garbage with him because Megan wanted to fall from the air to play. They used a grappling gun to jump down the last three floors and threw the garbage into the trash can when they reached the streets without surveillance.
Robin's cape had returned to him, swaying slightly in the night breeze, and the slightly curly black hair on his head was also moving. He was a boy - with short hair, and perhaps the curly hair gene was not very obvious. Unlike Megan's hair, she had a lot of hair, which directly led to her hair being fluffy and fluffy. Even with a ponytail, the ends of her hair were still curled.
Night has arrived, Batman has not assigned him any mission, and there is no display in the alarm system. Maybe the criminals in Gotham will finally be willing to be quiet tonight.
Robin looked at the green in Megan's eyes, which seemed to be inexhaustible. He suddenly smiled brightly at her and asked excitedly, "Would you like to go see my favorite gargoyle?"
He stretched out his hand.
Alfred's voice came from the headset. Robin heard it, but because it had nothing to do with fighting crime, he directly closed the communication channel. His hand was still stretched out, and was held by Megan.
"I think I've seen the gargoyle statue before." Megan had a vague impression of it. She liked to look around when walking on the street, but she didn't necessarily remember much. It was just that the appearance of the gargoyle was so distinctive that it was hard for people who saw it to forget it.
Robin blinked, "If you're not scared, you can see it tonight and even touch it."
He generously shared his favorite gargoyle, where he used to be when he was feeling down or in some other situation, but Batman also knew that place. He was the best detective and had accurately pointed out Robin's preferences.
The position of the gargoyle statue is a bit high, which may be dangerous for ordinary people.
But Robin took Megan up, and they sat side by side next to the gargoyle statue. There was no safety protection, but no one was worried about the danger.
Before sitting down, Megan looked at the stone statue carefully, reached out and touched it, then looked to the side and down. Some of her memories were awakened, and she found that there were quite a few stone gargoyles on the buildings in Gotham, and they all looked similar.
Maybe all the gargoyles looked alike, but Jason had picked out his favorite and could tell the differences between them.
Sitting in this high position, Robin had his magic props and had received training, but Megan was not afraid at all and even shook her hanging legs.
The clouds dispersed and the moon appeared on the horizon.
Megan looked up at the sky, "The moon."
"What's wrong with the moon?" Robin turned her head to look at Megan, her eyes were incredibly clear.
"The moon is in the sky."
These are words that make no sense, but neither the speaker nor the listener feels the same.
The author has something to say:
There is still some content that has not been finished, such as the surprises and gifts prepared by Robin.
But I can’t finish writing today (stupid)
