Chapter 83 Chapter 83 [VIP]
Robin sat side by side with her on the edge of the rooftop. When he was taking Megan out to play, like Killer Croc, he carefully avoided all cameras and tried his best to prevent others from seeing them.
He heard Megan say "It's a big world", and blinked quickly behind the Domino mask, remembering that he had actually met Megan before, although only once.
It was Christmas Eve, and it suddenly started snowing heavily outside. He saw a child left on the roadside by an adult. He thought the child was abandoned by the family because they were in financial difficulty and could not afford to raise the child, so he went to check on the situation. When he got closer, he realized that he had misunderstood, but he was still worried about her being alone on the roadside. It was still snowing, but she just stood there, not knowing how to hide at all.
Jason, without disguising his identity, went over to talk to her and found that the child named "Megan" was strangely not at all wary. They didn't talk much and fell silent when they got to the platform. But at that time, her reaction was obviously more lively and she was not afraid of strangers. She was not timid at all like when he climbed in through the window not long ago.
If we carefully analyze the difference between the two situations, the core point is that
Meghan's parents are not here.
When they first met, Megan's family was only away temporarily, so she wasn't scared. But he remembered Megan saying that she was in a foster care center for special children from Monday to Friday and only came back on weekends. Robin came to play with her for a long time and didn't see her family. It was obvious that they were busy with something outside and didn't come back often, which made her feel insecure.
So the reason is that Megan felt uneasy after being away from adults. Robin never asked Megan what was wrong with her or what disease she had that caused her to be sent to the foster care center. After all, he knew a little about the group of special children and knew his adoptive father even better. Since he founded the foster care center, he would not let it go and he must have conducted strict reviews of the families of the children sent there.
Robin never doubted Megan and her family again. If there was any doubt, Bruce would have found it long ago. He blinked and said, "Of course the world is big. Otherwise, why would it be worth looking forward to?"
He did not ignore Megan's ignorant sigh, responded seriously, and continued: "You have realized that the world is big, right?" This was his rhetorical question with a smile.
"Then when you grow up a little bit and get out of the foster care center, you can go explore a lot of places and get to know them. You might find them very interesting."
“It’s something to look forward to,” he said.
Megan turned to look at him. Her demeanor was always childish, and she seemed innocent because she had never been hurt. She had long known from her father that she was sick, and she knew very little compared to the others. After all, her cognitive ability was very slow, so she would listen to others talking, and suddenly opened her mouth, but only muttered a name, "Misha."
Robin asked smoothly, "What happened to 'Misha'?"
Well, his friend had a cute little habit of needing a response before she would finish speaking. Seeing how she waited for further questions very naturally, it was obvious that all her friends cooperated without exception, including Robin.
It took Megan a while to clear her mind, "You and Misha said the same thing," she couldn't help but wonder.
Her expression was plain and straightforward, but it let Robin know that Misha and she had a good relationship. Otherwise, the child would ignore many people and many things and would completely ignore them. She was really easy to understand once you got familiar with her.
"There are so many, so many expectations."
They stood with her, and because they were taller than her, they could see far into the distance, telling her what was ahead and believing that she would definitely get the 'good' things.
Megan was puzzled and looked at her friends around her. Robin tilted his head like her, but with a bright smile on his face, he patiently answered her: "Because we all like you very much!" He stretched out a hand to Megan, but when he was dressed as Robin, he wore gloves and almost never took them off. The gloves were equipped with some functions, but they were turned off when not in combat.
Robin stopped talking after he finished speaking. He was also waiting for Megan's response. This little kid could understand what he meant - in fact, he was imitating her expression, so they must have a tacit understanding. Sure enough, Megan put her hand over without hesitation, her eyes clearly expressing curiosity.
After holding her hand, he closed it and let it fall naturally between them. He would not just preach to her, that was the most useless thing to do. It was just like the speeches given by candidates in the East District during every mayoral election. They set up a platform, spoke official language, and made a big show, but what had they changed?
Robin used to be just a member of the lower class of society. When he got lucky and had a good life, he no longer had to be on edge and do bad things to make a living. He also received etiquette instruction from the upper class. He seemed to have become completely different from before, and many of his good qualities were finally revealed.
For example, he treated Megan gently and considerately, and always acted lively and friendly. If it were in the past when his life was in danger, he would have starved to death and had no time to care about others.
But now he can do good deeds, defeat bad guys, stop crime, make friends, show kindness to friends, etc., all of which he can do easily.
"I'm not planning your future, but... Megan, we all hope that you can have good things. There must be things in this world that you like. As you grow up, you will discover them one by one."
“The world is big, and it’s waiting to give you the most surprising gift. Or perhaps, you are the world’s gift.”
After expressing it very directly, Robin changed the subject and took Megan away from the edge of the rooftop. This position would be very dangerous if he was not watching. Megan's movements were clumsy, so he had to be careful not to fall.
After asking Megan again, she still didn't want to go back, and Robin guessed that she rarely went out...
She spends her days in a special children's care center. When she comes back on weekends, there is no adult to take her out to play during the day, so her understanding of the bigger world outside can only come from exploring at night. The two of them have been playing together for so long, and Megan doesn't want to go back after the night run.
Robin originally wanted to persuade her, but he himself was a negative example, so he simply played with her when he had no tasks.
He was still a teenager, lively and active by nature, and he jumped and somersaulted in the middle of the huge rooftop. Although he had received training, he was not yet thirteen years old and had not reached his growth spurt. His body was still thin, but it was partially wrapped in muscles that made him look strong, and he was flexible and agile when he moved.
After moving around a bit, he even waved his fists to show how strong he was.
Megan watched him do moves that she couldn't do at all. Suddenly, Robin did a side flip and jumped in front of her. He asked excitedly, "Do you want to see the results of my training?"
The child nodded involuntarily, raised his eyes and looked at him without blinking, and Robin officially began to show his fists and feet.
The training plan Batman made for him was still mainly based on skills. After all, with his current age, size and strength, it was impossible for him to knock someone down with one punch in a head-on fight. He could only train his skills and flexibility, focus on the enemy's weaknesses, and try his best to protect himself.
But the kung fu that Batman taught him is really cool, it’s the coolest set of moves!
He also has his own little innovations. If he were performing in the Batcave, his shortcomings and mistakes would definitely be pointed out, and then he would have to undergo additional training, but now only Megan is watching.
Robin quickly completed a set of moves and finally showed Megan the muscle lines on his body. They were very beautiful, smooth, and full of power. This was his proudest point, which was earned with a lot of sweat.
Of course, what he was most proud of was his reading volume. After being adopted by a wealthy man, he plunged into the study, absorbing knowledge and cultivating literary literacy almost crazily. He liked the ink words printed on the books and everything described by the words. He even went on tours at night and read a few pages of the book before going to bed.
But showing off one's skills is fine, but showing off one's knowledge to Megan is...
It's obvious that Megan hasn't grown up yet. Although she also reads books, they are currently children's picture books. Due to cognitive impairment, she cannot understand the profound meaning of the content, so they have less communication in this regard.
He squeezed out his biceps, and Megan rolled up her sleeves, but her hands felt limp and powerless, so she shook her head back and forth, and even reached out to pinch them, and immediately noticed the difference in the feel, "Wow—"
Robin didn't stop him, and the smugness on his face couldn't be hidden, "I can easily knock down some bad guys now and make them lie on the ground screaming and howling!" He put down his hands and grabbed the hair on both sides of Megan's cheeks, looking into her eyes and said seriously.
"When you train, you need to strengthen your physique first. You can't just train your skills casually; that would be counterproductive."

He learned a lot from Batman, and now he teaches Megan, which makes him feel that he is also a little teacher and can do something for his friend.
Megan only spent two nights with Robin this week, as when he was busy he would follow Batman on clues or go to the scene to control suspects, and while he looked out for his friend, he also had his own responsibilities.
He went out on Sunday evening and took a detour to the downtown area. When he flew over the air, Megan happened to be standing by the window. They looked at each other silently and greeted each other.
But this scene fell into the eyes of Arthur who was about to get home...
His face was haggard and tired, but he held so many hopes and longings, and he couldn't wait to go home. After all, he hadn't seen his daughter for a long time because of his busy work. He finally had a vacation and rushed back exhausted. He stood at the corner of the street. He couldn't see where Megan was from this position, but he saw everything Robin did.
Who is that happy little bird greeting?
The author has something to say:
Enough words! At the end, the ugly dad finally found out.
