Chapter 128 Chapter 128 [VIP]
Bane left without hesitation. On his way back to find Megan, he first met Killer Croc and fought with him. After cleaning up, he found Megan wandering alone near the small building.
He once said that they were friends, and no matter what the reason was, he was not going to go back on his word. He brought Megan her favorite white plush bear to celebrate her enrollment. He brought her along because Megan said she wanted to play with him.
Bane wanted to take her with him for a walk, but he didn't expect to meet Robin. He knew from the intelligence that the two children were friends, and even Killer Croc was known to Robin as Megan's friend. But if he saw Megan with other super criminals again, how would he react and feel?
Bane spent his youth in a dark cell that was only five by ten feet, but he later had companions and followers. Even though he had never experienced the friendship of youth, he was familiar with the suspicion and misunderstandings between people. Perhaps a trivial matter could cause the collapse of feelings and the end of friendship.
So, can the relationship between Megan and Robin withstand the tests of this world?
But Robin had already given him the answer to his doubts when she put Megan behind him, so Bane left directly, leaving the two children alone. They must have something to talk about.
After Bane left, Robin turned around and looked at Megan. His eyes were hidden behind the domino mask. When his facial expression was not obvious, it was impossible to detect his emotional fluctuations. However, he did not try to restrain his emotions too much. He pursed his lips slightly, looking very conflicted and hesitant to speak.
Megan held the teddy bear in her arms, tilted her head and said first, "It's a friend."
Robin guessed it, but he was still a little dazed, and said slowly, "...Then how many friends do you have?" He looked exactly like when he was talking to Megan.
But no matter what the answer is, for Robin, even if Megan's friends include some special characters, such as super criminals, she still has her good friend, the vigilante! It's not a problem.
Besides, Megan has nothing to do with crime, and no one would feel safe letting her do anything. If you ask Megan about the criminal plans of those people, she won't know - Megan's world is too small, and after accommodating herself, it can't accommodate many other people and things. And if her friends are like Killer Croc, they won't let her participate in criminal activities.
He was rightfully wary of super criminals, but at the same time, Robin was familiar with Megan and he trusted his friend.
Jason believed in his friends, but Robin shouldered a greater responsibility. He looked at Megan seriously and asked, "Killer Croc, Bane, and I are all your friends. So... what do you think about 'crime'?"
Maybe Megan didn't know what was right and wrong, maybe Megan would avoid answering, maybe she, Robin's heart was rarely lifted, and in an instant he thought of many ways that she might react, but saw that Megan's eyes were empty.
In the dim light of the night, Megan held the bear in her arms a little higher to cover her chin and mouth. She lowered her head and asked a little doubtfully, "Is crime bad?"
She didn't answer directly, but Robin's nervousness relaxed immediately. Subconsciously, he thought Megan wasn't trying to avoid the question, but just wanted to clear it up first. Even his tone became lighter. "That depends on your definition of 'bad'."
Megan thought about it and what she said seemed completely unrelated.
“There is a lot of pain in this world.”
Her eyes were still bright in the night, as if looking at some distant place, gradually lighting up with a little starlight. Megan said again: "There is a lot of pain in this world."
Megan remembered what her father said. He said: Megan, you are rejecting pain, not life.
This child doesn't like pain. She refuses pain and refuses to bring pain to others.
——Her silent words were received by Robin. He didn't know what happened to Megan. It seemed like it was a very painful past. Megan was sick and was an autistic child. There used to be a thick barrier between her and the world. So what made her break through the siege, and what did she pay for it?
Robin stared at Megan in front of him, suddenly took a step forward, stretched out his hand to hold her cheek, and took another step forward, touching his forehead with Megan's, but without any ambiguity, he just rubbed his head against hers, "Then we refuse pain." His voice was light and high-spirited, and he said it with certainty.
Megan also raised a small smile, and suddenly raised her hand to slap the teddy bear on his face. Robin was attacked and caught off guard. He raised his hand to snatch the teddy bear from Megan and then chased her.
"Bad Xiaomei, your doll has been hijacked by me, stop right now."
The bad little bear in front was running fast, and Robin was chasing him with his doll in the back. Of course, he would catch up with Megan soon, but this was not a joke. They had just had a serious talk, so they needed to liven up the atmosphere. After playing for a while, they caught up and Robin carried Megan on his back and brought her to a high position again.
They all liked to be in high places, sitting on the edge of the rooftop regardless of the danger, hanging their legs down and dangling. Robin asked, "Do you have a wish now?" When Megan spoke just now, she seemed to be looking for the direction of her star.
Megan shook her head beside him, "I don't know?" still with an uncertain tone.
But neither of them had any regrets. After all, finding one's own direction requires perseverance. Robin already knew the importance of this matter, while Megan was still confused. But there was no need to rush. Sometimes even if there was no direction, people could still walk in the right direction - there were not many such people, but Robin believed that Megan would be one of them. She had a very soft heart.
…
Gotham High School started preparing for fall break in mid-to-late October, which was much earlier than other schools because it was not too cold at this time, which was much better than taking a break in November.
On the day the holiday was announced, Megan went out to play excitedly, and then on the first day of the autumn holiday she ran into the Mad Hatter who had escaped from prison.
That crazy little man walking through the deserted streets—what a coincidence, wasn't it?! When he looked up and saw a familiar child, the man in the top hat's eyes suddenly lit up. He laughed pointedly and walked towards Megan. "Look, what did I find? A child who escaped from a rabbit hole. I knew you must have found your Mr. Rabbit. Otherwise, how could you have gotten out of there?"
He looked eagerly at Megan who was sitting by the roadside. He suddenly woke up in his trance and saw her black hair and green eyes. Her appearance was completely different from Alice's. He said regretfully, "It's a pity that you are not the guest I want to invite."
The Mad Hatter is a little crazy, "No, nothing is right! Ahhhhhhh!" He can't control his behavior, he dances around, holds his head and screams.
"I'm looking for Alice! I'm looking for Alice! Oh my god, the tea party is about to start, and everyone hasn't arrived yet?!"
He was extremely crazy. In reality, no one liked him because of his short stature and ugly face. Coincidentally, he also lost himself in his fantasy. There was a lost and confused soul living in his body. His behavior was abnormal and his speech was inverted, which made him look even more terrifying.
Meghan had been looking at him quietly, and said slowly: "Jervis?"
Jarvis Tetch's frenzied state suddenly stopped. He stood there for a long time, then raised his head and looked at Megan. His expression was strangely calm. He greeted her like an ordinary person, "Ah, it's Megan. You're playing here. Want to help me? Just come and paint me some paint."
"I found a place for the tea party."
The Mad Hatter had actually already found a location, but after his last escape, he was busy with other things and didn't have time to hold a tea party. He was then imprisoned back in Arkham Asylum, where he was ridiculed for his crazy behavior, then got into fights with his fellow inmates and was put in solitary confinement. This cycle repeated itself, slowly killing time. Otherwise, he would have gone mad. But he had already gone mad a long time ago.
This time he bribed the prison guards to escape. He knew who were the people who had laughed at him, and when they followed him and tried to escape, he simply left them behind and just happened to stop the prison guards... They would be regarded as his accomplices and suffer.
He finally remembered what he was going to do and felt that he was fully confident this time to hold a perfect tea party with Alice, whom he was about to invite. However, the venue needed to be painted and it had to be spotless white. It happened that the Mad Hatter met Megan.
The Mad Hatter felt no guilt at all about taking his cellmate's child to be his painter, and Megan went with him on her own.
After arriving at the place, the Mad Hatter gave her the paint and tools, and also thoughtfully prepared an apron and a mask. However, since the sizes of the two items were very problematic, he used needle and thread to modify them himself. He was used to doing delicate work, so these were not difficult for him at all.
So Megan put on a mask, an apron, picked up a roller brush and took up her post.
She was very curious about this job, but she never had the chance to do it. The Mad Hatter left her and her tools behind and left her alone in the small room. She took the roller brush and first painted the low corners around the room, then painted the ones at the right height, and finally stood on tiptoe -
The paint fell on him.
Megan herself couldn't see it, but in fact, from the moment she picked up the roller brush to dip it in paint, she had been smearing paint on herself. The walls were painted in a disorderly manner, with uneven thickness everywhere, and there were many white paint spots all over her body.
She was very satisfied with her results. The only regret was that there was no scaffolding in the room, so she couldn't reach any higher places.
...There's no children's version of the scaffolding suitable for Megan to work on, right?
The author has something to say:
Wuhu! Second update today! (Actually, the first update was to make up for yesterday's update)
Bain: The relationship between you two is doomed.
Jason (asking Xiaomei): What is he talking about?
Megan tilted her head: "I don't know?"
