Chapter 82 Chapter 82 [VIP]
Robin took Megan to wander over Gotham. Strictly speaking, this was their first time together, but Robin did not pretend to be familiar or unfamiliar. Instead, he took care of the younger child very naturally. In just a dozen minutes, he found that Megan was not afraid of high-altitude flying, but liked it instead.
Since there was no special information in the communication channel connected to the Batcave, he temporarily closed the channel. Before arriving at Megan's night running spot, he deliberately wandered between the buildings for a while. When he stopped, he said happily, "Isn't it fun!"
There was pride in his tone. These were all the fruits of his training, the skills and abilities he had mastered. He loved being Robin, loved punishing evil and promoting good. But who could he show off and showcase...
It is so difficult to hear a word of praise from Batman, who always tells him not to be too proud. Only Alfred praises his progress and efforts and speaks well of him in front of Batman, but there is no peer who can share this secret with him.
Robin had been spending some time with his predecessor in this role. He was away at university, and upon returning, he had a huge argument with Batman because 'Robin' was the nickname his mother had given him, but now it was no longer special, having been 'transferred' to someone else. He believed Batman had replaced him, and while his anger was primarily directed at Batman, it was clear their relationship wasn't very good either.
As for Oracle, the former Batgirl, she showed him affection and concern, could speak to him, and sometimes even gave him advice on combat methods and other knowledge. She was also much older than him;
There's also Batwoman, the Justice League, Young Justice, etc., but they don't have much overlap.
He looked expectantly at Megan, who had been put down by him. He could easily see the happiness on her expressionless face. She nodded confidently, "It's fun."
"Ha!" Robin laughed. He was still a little boy, but he bent his arms and tried to show his muscles. He wanted to grow into a big man like Batman. Then he would be stronger and could do more, instead of being excluded from some dangerous and important tasks like now.
But he was still very happy to be able to kidnap a little kid, and they both had secrets, which made him feel like a detective, a vigilante detective with a secret identity, who cooperated with the police station. In fact, he had already met Gordon!
Robin suddenly reached out and picked up a piece of thread from Megan's bangs. He showed it to her before throwing it away, and then the atmosphere between them suddenly became better.
"Would you mind warming up first? I'll go see if anyone's around."
He made the arrangement very naturally, and Megan had no objection. She started to stretch, and Robin walked around and expanded a little further. This place was not remote, and there were often pedestrians walking by during the day, but few people were willing to go out at night. He also went to confirm that there was no one hiding in every corner. What if someone came here to do a secret transaction?
After the safety check, Megan also started running. As the night got darker, Robin's work came. However, before he left, he told Megan to wait for him after the exercise. If anyone else came, she should hide, or press the headphones on her ears a few more times, and he would come.
Megan didn't encounter anything special that night, but Robin prevented a robbery, knocked the two suspects unconscious, and gave a pack of tissues to the threatened woman.
Robin was still enthusiastic after returning. He was certainly not happy that a crime was handed over to him and that he had to subdue it, but that he had saved others with his own abilities. Maybe it couldn't be called saving others, but at least he reduced the losses for others and stopped a crime.
He sat on a bench at the side, his toes not even touching the ground, swaying back and forth, watching Megan continue to stretch after running. Her movements were always slow and seemed methodical, but Robin happened to be very familiar with how to relieve muscle fatigue after exercise. He jumped off the chair and jumped over, stretched out his hands, picked up Megan by her armpits, and then brought her to the chair.
Megan had already done several sets of exercises. After being brought over and sitting down, she massaged her thighs herself, and then Robin massaged her calves. The number of people was doubled and the time was halved. When she felt her muscles were less tense, she got down and jumped around.
Robin asked, "Do you exercise every day?"
His own daily training with Batman was definitely more rigorous and strenuous than hers. Besides that, he had to go to school, do homework, read extracurricular books, do handicrafts, etc. during the day. His life was extremely fulfilling, but he liked this kind of life that constantly strengthened his body, improved his horizons and expanded his knowledge. This was what he had always dreamed of and now he finally got it.
Would he look down on Megan's "little fights" and "just some light exercise"? He had no such thoughts at all! After all, he had long accepted that in this world, everyone's destiny was different. No one should or should do or become anything. He chose to respect them.
Megan nodded, and he said, "That's great!" He just started to coax the child.
Robin really believed that people who had perseverance and determination to stick to something were great, so he carried Megan on his back and brought her back. Before he was about to climb out of the window, he called Megan.
"Remember not to come out as soon as someone knocks on the window. Be careful of bad guys."
"Bad guy?" Megan tilted her head.
Robin raised his eyebrows high, "There are so many bad guys in Gotham!" But if he was asked to give examples, countless criminals and cases flashed through his mind, but he couldn't think of anything to tell Megan. Should he tell her to be careful and never give the bad guys any chance, otherwise the bad guys would be torn to pieces by Killer Croc?
Maybe the bad guys should be careful not to do bad things. He leaned forward, trying his best to look at Megan at eye level, and changed the subject, "How old are you?"
Megan's reaction mechanism took some time, and after a pause she replied, "Turning eleven this year?"
She may be confused in some of her answers, but it's not because she's unsure of what she's saying, but because she's confused about why the other person is asking. Once you're familiar with the question, you'll be able to easily understand what she means.
The surprise on Robin's face flashed away. He had originally thought that Megan would be younger because she didn't look like an eleven-year-old. This was a feeling, how to put it...
If they were normal eleven-year-old children, they would have their own opinions on society, humanities and many other things, and at this age they would try to imitate adults and want their personal wishes to be respected. In short, their egos were very exposed and their tempers could be seen at a glance, but Megan was different.
Megan gives people the impression that she is still very ignorant and doesn't respond much to the outside world. Her self is not introverted, but like a young child, not yet fully formed. She looks very naive and immature, as if she has never faced danger.
However, Robin vaguely confirmed that she had some mental or psychological problems. He had not yet checked Megan's identity information. Firstly, this matter was not urgent. He did not see any danger in Megan and would not casually suspect a child. Secondly, because Megan was harmless, she should not be exposed by herself and involved in Batman's sight.
Just like Killer Croc didn't attack Megan in front of him, and didn't trip him up from behind, adults are adults and children are children.
As long as Megan doesn't try to harm Gotham, they are good friends.
Robin tilted his head like her, "Oh! I'm thirteen years old this year!" He climbed out the window and left with a laugh.
The two children became familiar with each other. Every week when Megan came home, Robin would take her out to play. Of course, she didn't miss her night run, but after the exercise, Robin would take her to other places to play. You know, he ran around Gotham almost every night, and he would also go out for a walk during the day, go shopping, read books in the library, buy video games, watch movies, and watch Broadway shows...
As he gained more knowledge, he needed to confide and communicate. His guardian and housekeeper would listen to him patiently, but they were all adults. At school, he could talk to most of his peers, grades, and classmates, but the relationship was not good. After all, he was just a street thug before, and was suddenly adopted by a rich man, and then became successful overnight.
Teenagers always have a lot of ideas, and not all of them are good. Bullying and discrimination are common in school. Judging from the fact that his adoptive father and housekeeper occasionally come to pick him up and he and his adoptive father often go to parties together, it is obvious that they cannot be offended. However, he used to be a street kid with bad habits, and it was only because he was lucky that he came to school and became their classmates.
Scrutiny and speculation from others were everywhere, even some teachers were like this, asking about how much importance he had on him in the Wayne family. He gradually got used to it, but he was not prepared to please those who looked at him strangely, so he just let them be.
Now Robin has found a good friend. Since they all have secrets, he will tell her a lot of things and share some interesting stories with her.
After another leap across the sky, now that Megan had finished her night run, Robin tilted his head slightly and asked her, "Are you going back?"
Noticing Megan shaking her head behind him, he took her to the rooftop of a building, which was blocked by another tall building and was just in the leeward side. After Robin put her down, he touched her forehead. After all, the weather had not been very good recently and she had just sneezed after running, so he was worried that she would catch a cold.
The temperature of her forehead was normal, so Robin was not too worried. He pulled her to sit on the edge of the rooftop. This place looked very dangerous, and in fact it was very dangerous. If she was not careful, she could slip down and be smashed to pieces.
But Robin would not make such a mistake, and he would not let Megan fall. He took out a few candies from his Robin belt and handed them to her. They ate the candies together, staring at the neon lights below.
Robin had already told a lot about himself, of course, blurring out the time, place, and names of people, so his true identity would definitely not be discovered. With a slight smile on his face, he asked, "What about you?"
He turned to look at Megan: "Have you encountered anything? What do you feel when you look at them?" Will Megan grow up and be a little different from before?
Megan rarely expressed anything and seemed a little reluctant to respond, but they were already good friends. She looked back at Robin, her eyes clear and bright, yet filled with emptiness. After thinking for a long time, she spoke, "The world..."
What's wrong with the world?
“The world is so big.”
The world outside Arkham was so big that it could accommodate a two-story building and a special children's care center. Outside those two places, there was a very wide area where she stood in the small space.
Even though she was sitting on the rooftop of a building, she could still see taller buildings when she looked up.
Then why is her world so small?
The author has something to say:
The two of them secretly became friends without telling their parents.
Robin:.
Megan: Dad didn't ask (Joker:?)
