Chapter 5

During the period of being forbidden to eat snacks, Mia ushered in her summer vacation.

This was supposed to be a very happy thing. She no longer had to get up early, and she didn't have to write those homeworks - to be honest, no one wanted to do them, except of course Sheldon, who was her favorite person she had ever met. Someone who is learning - and more importantly, she finally doesn't have to think about how to cover those horns and stripes when she turns into some strange creature, just to make herself look slightly normal.

You know, her teacher has called her into the office more than once because she was wearing a hat in class.

They told her that this was disrespectful to teachers and that teachers were not standing on top to give lectures so that she could hide under the brim of her hat and sleep.

To this, Mia really wants to retort that she never sleeps in class, she is just dazed, and if she really comes without a hat but with a pair of horns on her head, you will definitely be the first to Just contact her guardians and tell them that mutants (who they all consider to be mutants for anyone with superpowers) are not appropriate in the classroom.

Even though several years have passed since Magneto launched a terrorist attack on Washington, most people still associate mutants with terrorists.

They are afraid of their existence and are repulsive to most superpowers. They refuse to live in the same community as them, and they refuse to let their children attend classes in the same classroom as those mutant children.

Mia was very angry about this. She once complained angrily to her aunt that there were obviously many good people in the world besides bad people like Magneto.

Just like Spider-Man (although he has repeatedly clarified that he is not a mutant when facing reporters, like Doctor Octopus, he gained superpowers after experiencing certain accidents, but most people still think that he is not a mutant) He is a member of the mutants), as well as Superman and Wonder Woman... They all have abilities that are different from ordinary people, but they have saved so many people. They are heroes.

"They are discriminating, they are naked discrimination!" Mia shouted that sentence like a slogan, although she actually didn't know what "discrimination" meant. She just watched it on TV I saw this sentence and then used it.

"This is indeed discrimination," Aunt Chloe smiled helplessly after hearing her words, and she touched her head, "But there is nothing we can do about it. People always treat creatures that are different from themselves. Will subconsciously exclude them."

"Why?" Mia asked. She didn't quite understand what Aunt Chloe said. The teacher had clearly taught them in class to be friendly to every classmate, even if they had different skin colors and different looks.

Moreover, when she went to church before, Pastor Jeff also said that all people in the world are children of God, so they should love each other and work together to promote world peace and build the kingdom of heaven on earth.

"This is probably a fear of being uncontrollable," Aunt Chloe replied. She saw Mia's confused expression and thought for a moment, "It's like when you first learned that you had superpowers because you didn't know What will you become the next morning, so you often stay up late without sleeping? People are also rejecting those mutants because they are not sure when they will launch such a terrorist attack again." "But I

don't It will hurt them," Mia muttered unhappily. Anyone would be angry after being wrongly accused of being a bad person for no reason. "And I'm not a mutant, so it's obviously just a 'wish'!" She said. go on.

Mia asked her mother what was going on when she first became a vampire.

Her mother told her that this was a wish, "Because your wife and grandma wanted to experience a different life, so she made a wish to the elf on her birthday so that she could become a different person every morning, and now this The wish has been passed down and will continue on you." She replied with a smile.

This made Mia wonder if her mother was lying to her. After all, judging from her usual level of nonsense, this kind of thing was not impossible.

It's just that she no longer has the mind to worry about whether this thing is true or not. She has a more important

thing, that is, her aunt told her that she will go to Gotham to spend the holiday this year.

Mia:! ! !

"Why?!" She looked at her with wide eyes. This thing happened so suddenly that she didn't know how to react.

"Of course you already know Bruce is your daddy," Aunt Chloe replied, leisurely spreading peanut butter on top of the bread.

She didn't miss Tim the last time she caught Mia in front of the ice cream shop. Or rather, because he was the most photographed of the Wayne children, he was the only one she could recognize. The one that comes out.

And because of this, she learned from Mia that she had actually known that Bruce Wayne was her father for a long time, and that she had been in contact with her brothers for a long time.

"You're taking revenge!" Mia yelled. She slowly ate the omelette in front of her, and looked at her aunt with an accusatory look, as if she was saying you are so old. How can you argue with a child when you are a human being?

In the face of Mia's accusation, Chloe also admitted openly. After all, she knew that if she explained this and said something like, "He is your father after all, and you can't stay here all the time." , Mia will definitely use this to mess around a lot. She was exactly like her mother in that way.

So she just shrugged and told her Mr. Wayne would be picking her up this weekend to take her to Gotham.

"But what about that wish?" Mia asked. She looked at her aunt expectantly, hoping that this might help her change her mind. You must know that not everyone can accept that they have a child with super powers.

But alas, Aunt Chloe just smiled at her hopes. "I've told Mr. Wayne about it," she said.

When she first received an email from Bruce Wayne, she was wondering how she should solve the matter. After all, although Baby Bruce funded the Justice League and had an affair with Batman, you are very It's hard to know whether he is just a fan of those with superpowers.

So she decided to hide the matter for the time being and let Bruce contact Mia first to increase his sunk costs so that he would not abandon her without any hesitation when he knew she had superpowers.

She knew it was despicable of her to do so, and that it would be harmful to her if Brucie decided to reject Mia after all that time together.

But the adult world is already full of all kinds of intrigues, not to mention that she doesn't want to hear from those children anymore that Mia is a child without a father. That was also hurtful to her.

But there was no need to let Mia know this, so she just sighed, "I told him you like Cosplay very much," Chloe said.

This is not a lie, Mia loves those beautiful princess dresses and some weird clothes, and she always gets good results in the annual Halloween costume contest.

"You still have many friends, and they may go to Gotham to find you during the holidays." Even the friends made because of "Wish" are still good friends to Mia.

"And if he really finds out and can't accept it, then I will pick you up immediately, and then we will come back and never contact him again."

"Really? You don't want to leave me?" Mia asked again. She had realized that there was no room for negotiation in this matter, so she just poked at her piece of fried egg with her mouth flat.

"Of course not, how could I want to leave you, Mia, you are my niece, we are relatives." Aunt Chloe replied, she looked at Mia's still unhappy expression and sighed, "If I allow you to eat a stick of ice cream and a piece of cake every day in the past few days before going to Gotham. Will you feel more at ease?" "I won't,"

Mia muttered, and she thought for a moment. , "You have to give me three sticks of ice cream and a piece of cake so I might feel better." "

No, you will get sick if you eat too much ice cream," Chloe refused subconsciously. She frowned and looked at Mia, who was originally I wanted to ask her if she still remembered the last time she had diarrhea because she ate too much ice cream

, but after seeing her aggrieved expression because of her words, she still compromised and said, "Okay, okay, I How about I give you two sticks of ice cream and a piece of cake, plus I won't limit your time to watch TV and play games during this period?"

"Deal!" Mia said immediately, and she stretched out her little finger seriously, "Let's pull the hook. Once you pull the hook, you can't regret it!"

"Okay, okay," Chloe nodded helplessly. She hooked Mia's little finger with her little finger, "Of course you have to promise me that even if I It won't limit the time you can watch TV, and you can't sit in front of it 24 hours a day."

"Hey, I won't!" Mia protested to her aunt, "I will obviously still read comics. , hanging out with Missy and the others!"

In short, no matter whether Mia spent 24 hours in front of the TV these days, the day to go to Gotham came soon.

She stood next to Aunt Chloe with her school bag on her back, Bruce standing across from her. He looked tired, with dark circles under his eyes as if he hadn't slept in days.

But this is indeed true. After the new Super Girl appeared, he urgently contacted Clark and wanted to ask him if he knew anything about the child.

Clark just shook his head. He said that he tried to find the child after seeing the report, but she seemed to disappear out of thin air and never appeared again after that day.

"It seems that she is much more skilled in controlling power than you were back then, Clark." Martha joked with a smile after learning about this.

She would never forget the time when he took her up into the sky at night, and the barns that were accidentally burned down. It was a fire that brought the entire Kansas town together to put out.

"Oh, Mom." Clark shouted, and he curled up on the sofa. Even though he was Superman, a superhero, and a Zepley Prize winner outside... But here, with Martha, he He will always be the kid who panics because he accidentally does something wrong.

"So you found her?" Martha asked.

"Not yet," Clark shook his head, "I tried to use my super hearing to find news about her, and Bruce was always paying attention to reports similar to what happened to me back then, but she was hidden better than we thought. ."

Or it should be said that they didn't find any information about the child at all, which made them inevitably start to focus on Luthor. After all, as an ex-convict, he would create another Kryptonian. It's not impossible.

But equally, as a highly intelligent criminal, of course, the evidence cannot be exposed like this, so they decided to investigate it first and then make plans.

"Long time no see, Mia." Bruce said when he saw Mia's confused expression. Because he was busy investigating during this period, his visits to Texas could be said to have plummeted. In fact, if Afu hadn't reminded him, he might still be in the Batcave now.

"Long time no see, Uncle Bruce..." Mia responded habitually, but halfway through she remembered that Aunt Chloe now knew that she knew Bruce was her father, so she didn't have to hide it. Continue to call him uncle.

But if she really changed the title like this and started calling him dad, it would make Mia feel strange, or should be said to be very strange. After all, she had never called him that, nor had she ever called anyone with this title. people.

Fortunately, Bruce didn't pay attention to this. He just smiled and handed the gift in his hand to her, and then took her suitcase from Chloe.

In addition to some of her changes of clothes, there was also the evil spirit mask. She hadn't met Batman the last time she went to Gotham as Superman, and she hoped to do so this time.

But before meeting Batman, she had one more person to meet, and that was her youngest brother, Damian Wayne.

Mia felt very nervous about this. If the other brothers were friendly to her - after all, they had bought her ice cream, even if they bought it for her because she had done some tricks, but it was still She bought it - then Damian represents mystery to her (

actually Cassandra is similar, but because Bruce told her that she is not in Gotham now, Mia decided to focus her attention first It's all on Damian.)

He was never seen in Texas during those months, and there was very little coverage of him in the news, other than that Bruce Wayne had an illegitimate child.

"So what kind of person is Damian?" Mia asked, sitting in the back seat holding her bag, Bruce sitting next to her, he hesitated for a moment after hearing her question.

He didn't know how to describe Damian to Mia, it was too difficult even for Batman.

"Master Damian is a somewhat difficult child to get along with," Alfred, who was sitting in the front driving the car - Bruce told her that he was his butler, and she could just call him Alfred - suddenly said, through The rearview mirror in the car saw Mia's worried expression because of his words, "But don't worry, Miss Mia, I believe Master Damian will welcome you."
