Chapter 12

Batman didn't answer Mia's question directly, or rather he never answered it.

Whether they are Batman or Bruce, they maintain a very ambiguous attitude towards such scandals. To put it simply, they neither admit it nor deny it, and even occasionally say some ambiguous words. Do something ambiguous to make this scandal more real.

After all, this would be a good way to avoid people guessing that Batman and Bruce Wayne are actually the same person based on his expensive equipment.

When you are kept by a billionaire, the equipment you wear and the fact that you always appear at the banquet at the first time are all explained. No one will think about where Batman got those things. For stuff, they would only say, "Look, that rich man spent so much money on his little lover. I really don't know if Wayne Group can support him as a prodigal."

Occasionally Fox would tease him with these words, telling him when he didn't appear at Wayne Group for a long time that if he didn't show up again, he would have no money to provide Batman with equipment.

"After all, we all know that Batman is being taken care of by you now." His sinister tone came through the speaker and Bruce sighed. He rubbed his temples tiredly. What happened to the new Super Girl? It took up most of his time during these days.

After the investigation yielded no results, he began to focus on the evil ghost mask she was wearing at the time. It's a very common mask, and hundreds of thousands were sold on Amazon alone before Halloween last year.

But when she got closer to him, he noticed traces of yellow paint on the mask. He guessed that she had written something on it with something, but then the paint faded for some reason.

And what he guessed was basically no different from the facts.

After getting this mask from Aunt Chloe, Mia was determined to transform it and make it a unique and her own mask.

So she gathered her friends and started discussing how she could make it more unique.

Mishy said she could try drawing something on it, like she was going to put some stickers on her face for Halloween. She watched all the big stars on TV do this.

Sheldon, on the other hand, expressed his disbelief. He didn't understand why she wanted to change it. "And Robin's mask doesn't look like this." He stated this fact bluntly. They had known for a few days that Mia would be dressing up as Robin this year.

"I know, but who made Aunt Chloe buy the wrong thing?" Mia said frustratedly. She lay on the table and looked at the evil ghost mask. The raised corners of the mask's mouth seemed to be mocking her, "Maybe I Should have just worn that uniform that day, but seriously, who's Robin if not wearing a mask, and besides Superman and Wonder Woman, all those superheroes wear masks..." "

No, Aquaman, Beast Boy and Superboy don't wear masks," Sheldon interrupted out of caution. He looked at her seriously, "There are actually many superheroes who don't wear masks." "

But Robin, he Wearing a mask," Mia yelled. She picked up the mask and put it on her face. "Do I have to wear this mask to tell others that I am an evil spirit wearing a Robin uniform? That's too weird. !"

"This is not easy," just when Mia was struggling with this, the voice of little George (he is Sheldon and Mixie's brother) suddenly sounded. He went straight to the refrigerator and took a bottle of Coke. When they all looked at themselves because of what he just said, they shrugged, "Can't you just let others see that it's Robin's mask?" This suggestion made

Mia's eyes light up. Yes, as long as others can know that it is Robin's mask, it's not important at all as to what it looks like. So she excitedly shouted to Little George, "You are simply a genius" and then started working on the mask.

She first picked up a yellow colored pen and wrote a big R on it, which was Robin's logo. Then she was afraid that others wouldn't recognize it, so she wrote "Robin's Mask" on it. Character.

It's just that as time passed and she never cared about the mask after Halloween, in fact, if she hadn't turned into Superman that time, she wouldn't have even remembered that she still had a mask. The paint on it has long since faded away, leaving only a little color still stained on it.

"So you are really being kept by him?" Mia shouted when she saw the appearance of the bat. She looked at him with wide eyes. The excuses she had thought of for them during the day all turned into one at this moment. Word - "support".

She began to involuntarily recall the fanfics she saw on the website today. They said that for Batman, Bruce is like a dazzling little prince, always remaining innocent and kind, even when he saw lying Even when Bat was seriously injured in the alley, he reached out to him without any hesitation.

Others say that Batman and Bruce are people who live in two completely different worlds. One of them represents the most luxurious life in Gotham, while the other wanders around the poorest and most chaotic places in Gotham all year round in order to fight crime. There should have been no interaction between them, but in the dead of night, the Prince of Gotham in everyone's eyes would stay alone in his room, quietly waiting for the arrival of his knight.

"So is this why you showed up in the daytime yesterday?! Because of Brucie?" Mia continued to yell. Today's Gotham Daily published the news that Batman captured Poison Ivy.

This made Batman a little confused. He looked at her with scrutinizing eyes, wondering why she had such a big reaction to the feelings between Batman and Brucie.

But of course he won't understand that one of them is her father and the other is her idol. If they really get together, then she and Robin will become brothers. That's simply... wait, if that's the case Doesn't that mean she can also become Robin and join the Teen Titans to become one of them! This is her dream.

After thinking of this, Mia immediately changed her expression and looked at him expectantly, which made Batman even more confused. He didn't know the reason for this change, but this did not prevent him from clarifying to her that many times during the day, Batman It will also appear.

"Oh, thank you for telling me that, Batman, but now I have something more important to ask you, and that is can I be your Robin?!" Mia asked.

Batman: ...

Batman: Okay, I kind of know what that transformation is about.

Seeing Batman's delay in responding, Mia turned to look at him with pleading eyes, "Please, Batman, I am a magician today, I can help you!" She held up the magic book in her hand. Get up, this is proof that she is a magician.

But Batman still didn't agree. He just frowned and looked at her, and at the same time repeated the phrase "magician".

"Yes, Magician!" Mia said, puffing out her chest proudly. Magic can definitely help him a lot.

After hearing Mia's words, Batman began to think about the possibility of Kryptonians learning magic, but after thinking about Superman's magic resistance, he chose to give up and instead focused on the word "today".

She said that she was a magician today, which meant that she was not a magician before today. She suddenly became magician for some reason.

"What about your uniform?" he asked tentatively. Today she did not wear the uniform with the "S" logo on it, but an ordinary short-sleeved and shorts dress that can be seen everywhere. Perhaps because of the wind, she also put on a coat. You can let her put some small items inside.

"It's gone," Mia replied. She had no idea about Batman's thoughts. In her opinion, these were just tests for her to become Robin. Only if she answered his questions seriously and honestly could she pass the test and become the new Robin. In fact, she also She was happy to do it, she could tell him everything to become Robin.

But as someone who was told countless times by her mother and aunt every day not to tell her abilities to unfamiliar people, not even Robin, he was her favorite superhero.

So when facing Batman, although Mia felt that her brain was a little unclear - but who could really

stay calm? He was her second favorite superhero, and she was about to Become his Robin.

However, she still firmly adhered to her bottom line and did not tell him her abilities and identity. Mainly she was worried that he would tell Bruce this. She liked her father and Alfred, and she wanted to stay in the manor longer.

So she just told him that she occasionally gained some superpowers, which was not a lie. After all, most of the time she was an ordinary person, and those powers would soon disappear, just like she no longer had them. Not like Superman, but like a magician.

"Now that I have answered your question, can I become Robin?" Mia asked again. She looked at him with an excited expression, and the expectation in her tone could not be hidden.

"No." Batman refused.

"Why, I have obviously answered your question!" Mia shouted after hearing Batman's answer. She looked at him in surprise. If people's eyes are really fan-shaped diagrams, then what should be in her eyes now? There will be 40% grievances, 40% accusations, and 20% anger. After all, he didn't deny that he would let her become Robin in the first place, he just disagreed!

Okay, now she's 95% angry and 5% disbelieving because Batman just disappeared when she wasn't looking.

This simply made Mia furious. She looked angrily at where he was standing, and then at the empty surroundings. Then she quickly turned the magic book to the page about finding people's magic and recited the spell instantly. Move to where Batman is.

He was standing on another tall building chatting with someone, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mia disappearing.

Although his reason told him that he should take this opportunity to investigate the child's affairs now, she seemed to trust him so much that he felt that she would tell him everything if he asked, but it is a pity that he today There are more important things to do in the evening.

Prostitutes have been dying in Gotham since a few weeks ago. At the beginning, they just thought that she was ill or that she finally couldn't bear this kind of life and chose to commit suicide - such people are not uncommon in Crime Alley, or it should be said that there are such people almost every day, and they are laid off by the company. Small clerks, foreigners who were deceived and abducted to Gotham... Those at the bottom of society gathered in this place, and finally chose to end their lives under the pressure of life.

So her roommates and neighbors just numbly used the money she saved to buy her the cheapest cemetery in Gotham Cemetery and forgot about it.

Only as more and more people died and the appearance of corpses became more and more frequent, and they were all without exception red-haired prostitutes, did people finally realize that something was wrong.

They called the police, but no police cared at all. After all, for most people, those who live in crime alleys are garbage, scum, and the most unwelcome existence in the city. No one will go there. They care about their life and death. In fact, even they themselves don't care much about it.

So they just randomly sent two auxiliary police officers to the scene to check the situation and simply defined the case as suicide.

But Batman knows otherwise, this is a murder, and the criminal will target the most neglected and vulnerable groups. He killed them to fulfill his perverted needs.

"Ha, I found you. I will never leave until you agree to me becoming Robin!" Just as Batman was thinking, Mia's voice suddenly sounded, and she appeared behind him and looked at him His eyes also carry the specific stubbornness of a child.

This made Batman feel helpless. He thought she would go home obediently after finding out that he had left. The nights in Gotham are not suitable for children, but now it seems, "You can't be Robin." He sighed and said .

"Why? If you let me be Robin then you will have two Robins to help you!" Mia asked.

"Because it's dangerous." Batman replied. He had already heard Alfred's teasing about the possibility of having another child in the Wayne family from the earphones.

"But I'm not afraid, I'm brave." Mia said, she looked at him again with a begging expression, "Please, just this time

, let me try, I will prove it to you."

Then let the bat Xia sighed again, and he looked at her. He knew very well that if he didn't agree, then the child would just continue to follow him, and instead of letting her continue to do this, or run around Gotham alone in order to prove herself- —Just like his children, they can always be seen in Gotham at night even after he grounds them.

So after thinking for a while, Batman still chose to compromise, and he acquiesced to Mia's behavior. There was nothing he could do about his children. And he can also use this time to investigate more about the child.

So tonight, Mia became a magician and Robin at the same time. It was really gratifying and joyful.
