Chapter 202 [Extra] Diverse Travel · 10 [Extra]
Megan looked up confusedly and saw a group of fully armed people. She pressed herself against Arthur's legs and asked in a low voice, "Who are they?"
"I only knew Dick and Barbara."
Dick and Barbara, who were walking in the front, exchanged glances. One of them said, "Uh, I never expected that a little guest from another world would be like this."
But in fact, they already knew about her from various intelligence transmitted by the Batcomputer. Megan was raised and protected by the Joker and did not participate in the struggle between vigilantes and criminals. Apart from her guardian and her unusual illness, she was almost the same as an ordinary child. She even had a very good desire to help others. Although her life experience was concealed, she had a good relationship with Jason and even the Wayne family in that universe.
Another said, "But there's more than just this one thing you can't imagine. Of course, neither can I." Barbara ignored the others still on guard behind her and walked right past the clown. She came up to Megan, squatted down, and looked her in the eye. "Your name is Megan, right? My God, this child's eyes tell me that in her universe, we get along quite well."
The Barbara in this universe is a mature woman with red hair flowing down her back. She looks very kind and amiable.
Barbara's tone is incredibly relaxed, but is she really that relieved? It's like the Joker calling Red Hood an "expired can"—that's hell.
Not to mention that she was now greeting the clown's daughter in a friendly manner. It all seemed ridiculous and ironic. Even the painful echoes of that time were still ringing in her ears, but Barbara couldn't vent her anger on an innocent child.
She was the first to test the waters, wanting to know if the Joker would take action. After all, the Bat-like vigilante had already walked up to him. If he had a conspiracy, could he still hold himself back?
But in fact, Arthur had no intention of taking action. He stood by and saw Megan looking at those people with sparkling eyes. Then he patted her shoulder and pushed her forward encouragingly. "Okay, child, I know you are very curious about the Robins. Go play with them."
He just stood there, watching the Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Robin, and Disruptor of this universe walk past him one after another, but there was still one person missing, Cassandra Cain, codenamed Orphan, and some other vigilantes. They didn't come here, probably because they were still wary of him. Of course, they also needed to keep an eye on possible crimes in Gotham City.
Arthur turned around, looked at their figures, and smiled meaningfully.
Megan followed Barbara obediently. They were all older than her, so naturally their pace and stride distance were different, but they all walked slowly to accommodate her. She looked up at them, and everyone introduced themselves kindly. Megan learned that Tim was the third-generation Robin, and Stephanie had been a Robin for a while after him, and now they had both gone out to work on their own.
Stephanie was most curious about her. "Oh my God! Mei, you and your dad are so different." She thought Megan was a soft and cute child and wouldn't mind such a question, but she still explained: "Sorry, I just feel this way."
Meghan nodded in agreement and said very seriously, "Well, Dad is not like me."
This made them all laugh. Perhaps the others thought she was joking, but Stephanie's impression of her changed. She felt she was serious about her true thoughts. This meant that this child was a bit domineering and self-centered, but usually it was not noticeable because it did not match her appearance. But the clown raised such a child and indulged and compromised with her.
Dick interjected, "Joker, who does he look like then?" He meant it as a joke, but Megan suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Megan tilted her head to look at Dick, then at the other three people, the confusion in her eyes almost overflowing. Her behavior was like that of some straightforward and innocent little animals. It was obvious that earlier, when her symptoms improved and she began to socialize, the habit of using body movements to convey her meaning had not been completely corrected, so some signs of it could still be seen now.
Tim, who had been looking at them with a gentle smile, asked sharply, "Is there anyone who looks like the Joker? No, you mean..."
Megan turned around to look at Arthur, who was far behind them. When he came closer, she slowly spoke, "On my birthday, I exchanged three wishes for one."
This is an extremely strange statement in the present situation. Moreover, there is an obvious level difference in the exchange of three wishes for one. The number "three" itself is an important restriction and may have other meanings.
Arthur didn't seem to notice the inexplicably tense atmosphere, and said slowly: "Well, I knew the information gap couldn't be concealed for long." His words were really interesting!
The craziest comedian in history stood on a stage, the center of attention. He smiled at his audience, his mouth stretched almost to his ears, and the wrinkles on his forehead revealed sarcasm and mockery. "You only care about the people on the stage, but you've made a fatal mistake. My little friend Megan, back when she was in Arkham, she was a popular little star there! I didn't expect that she would be the same in another world."
After they accidentally arrived in this universe, Megan's presence easily attracted most of the attention. Everyone let down their guard because of his appearance of being a "good father", not to mention that he and Megan had made an agreement! So he had to act like a father and set a good example, right?
However, everything is not as simple as it seems, and many people are still fascinated by it. He couldn't help but sigh.
"In this story, I actually became a supporting role? Do you think this is reasonable?"
What a joke this clown is! He lets out a low, gradually shrill, maniacal laugh. Even though he's still disguised as Arthur, the madness and distortion in him can no longer be concealed. "Who said our universes are exactly the same? I promise it's just your illusion, hahahahahaha."
While everyone was on high alert, he had already put on that cruel expression and said in a strange tone, "Who would have thought there was more than one clown? This would be such a joke, wouldn't it?"
"You thought it was buy one get one free? It's actually a big promotion!"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a flash of fire could be seen erupting from the direction of the bridge connecting Wayne Manor and Gotham, along with a loud explosion. This was clearly an unusual signal.
The Joker stood here leisurely with his arms in his sleeves, looking into the distance in that direction. After he came to his senses, the situation had deteriorated to the point where a fight was about to break out in just a few minutes. Hostile and hateful eyes were cast on him, but he was still unscrupulous, smiling at Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Robin, Disruptor, and his children who were present, with an unwavering expression on his face.
"You have two hours to find the big gift from Gotham City, but how many gifts there are? It's hard to say, but it will be a surprise for everyone." Looking down at his children, the Joker said: "You see, I didn't do anything to them, I just set a little problem?"
As Stephanie almost couldn't contain herself and rushed over, Tim said, "Turn on the communication."
Batman's low and hoarse voice was heard in the communication channel, "It's not this Joker, Arkham Asylum rioted under the leadership of Bane." So the first thing they did was to blow up the Robert Kane Memorial Bridge.
This Joker is just going with the flow, but his words are also very interesting. In different universes, is there more than one Joker? The situation in that universe may be harsh enough. However, judging by Megan's performance and the information she revealed, the Joker's actions in Gotham are still restrained. At least no one has discovered the secret that there is more than one Joker. In fact, Megan is the only one who knows about it.
"But the rest of the clowns, and the clowns from this world...are nowhere to be found."
If Megan hadn't revealed this news to them and the Joker had chosen to self-destruct, they might not have realized that there was such a big difference between the two universes, and the resulting loophole would have been even bigger. But his revelation of this matter was actually beneficial because they could take targeted actions, which was always better than being completely passive and then falling into crisis unknowingly.
Megan revealed this news to them, but the Joker didn't get angry at all. He looked at the expressions of the people in front of him and knew what the little bat had said. So he spread out his palms and said helplessly, "I have to accompany my children. Are you all going to get busy?"
Who can trust the Joker? But judging by his attitude towards Megan, he must be guarding this child to prevent her from getting hurt.
Megan looked at them, ran out from behind Barbara, stood next to the clown, and took his hand, "I'm watching Dad."
The clown looked at her with a grin, "You are partial to these good people, and you still want to be a good person!" Accepting that your own child goes against yourself is a huge harm to everyone, but what can he do with this child?
Batman: "Don't worry about this Joker, to the Batcave, I'm on my way."
Damian's voice was also heard in the communication, "I'm on my way." It was obvious that he was following Batman, because the bridge was bombed and his Robin motorcycle had no flying function, so he naturally couldn't jump over it. The tool they took was the Batplane.
Megan grabbed the Joker's hand and watched as they quickly disappeared in front of her. She asked her father, "...Are you going to blow up Gotham again?"
The clown was amused by her. "Me? I'm just here with you. How can I have the time to do bad things?" It sounded so innocent. Megan: "You did it behind my back, secretly."
She said, "There are still many things I haven't had time to learn, and we've only been here for two days." After the novelty, she felt more confused.
Little Bear didn't care. She felt a little insecure. She pulled the clown's arm to make him squat down, and she hugged his neck, as if to draw strength. Too many things happened in the past two days. Megan barely kept her composure, but more things were still suppressed by the small pills. She had a lot of grievances and uneasiness.
"Dad, I want to go home."
