In the ruined ruins at the top of Arkham Asylum, Damian dodged left and right under the onslaught of several claws.The kid is agile and always able to dodge before the blade is added and then wait for an opportunity to fight back.The blade in his hand was as nimble as his movements, and with each swing, it could cut off a part of the claw's body in front of him.But his enemies are a group of undead spirits who don't care about physical damage, don't bleed, and don't die.Behind Damien, there were already a lot of burned wreckage, but before his eyes, the number of talons didn't seem to drop at all."
I need fire!"
Damian flew up and kicked the incoming claws back, shouting over the communicator, "Who can bring me a fire?"
”"Here it is, little brother!
Get out of the way now!
”Grayson's slight voice rang out in the communicator, and Damian didn't hesitate, jumping out of the ruins in a flash, and the next moment, the Batmobile roaring from the other direction brutally smashed the rock in front of him, pushing several can't dodge claws into another wall.The original Robin, who was driving the Batmobile, pressed the button on the steering wheel, and with the movement of the Batmobile's headlights, two tumbling pillars of fire erupted towards the claws that were squeezed into the corner."
Jason needs help over there, Damian, go over there!"
Grayson took the wheel and let the nimble and powerful Batmobile spin around the ruins, spewing the scorching pillar of fire in all directions, stopping the claws from continuing to attack, and shouted to Damien, "Bring him back to me, this car's flamethrower can burn them." ”"Isn't he very dragged?"
Damian picked up a clawed knife from the ground and spat to the other side of the ruins, complaining, "I thought he could do it all without help." ”"Don't make a fuss."
Grayson stepped on the gas pedal and the roaring Batmobile rampage through the rubble, clearing the way for Damien.And on the other side of the battlefield, the second generation Robin Jason.
Todd played a little hard.This kid is very talented, but after all, he has been with Batman for too short a time, and in terms of combat, he is not as skilled as Grayson, nor as easy as Damian.He was besieged by a few sharp claws, and he seemed to be a little scrambling.But Jason gritted his teeth and did not retreat, but waved the two fighting sticks in his hand, fighting hard with those monsters that could not be killed.By the time Demian arrived, Jason had a lot of blood on his uniform, but his offensive didn't pause, as if the pain didn't exist."
Get out of the way!"
Damian snorted, Jason saw a helper, he no longer hesitated, rolled on the ground for a week, and when he got up again, the two sharp claws had been nailed to the ground by the war knife thrown by Damian."
Are you a fool?"
Damien rolled in the air for a few weeks before landing on a rock beside Jason, and while taking a dart from his waist, he said to a panting Jason, "Why do you have to hold on when you know you can't beat it?"
”"Batman didn't teach me to run away without a fight."
Jason stubbornly said while pressing the wound on his arm, "We are here to save him, not to escape." ”"Then you're a really bad student."
Damien threw the dart in his hand, accurately hit the eye socket of the claw in front of him, knocked it back a few steps, and then said sarcastically to Jason: "Batman learned to fight in the League of Assassins, dodging and counterattacking are the essence of his tactics, you only learned his fighting style, but you didn't learn his fighting wisdom...
You see Grayson is a good student. ”"I'll overtake him."
Jason replied unhappily, "It's just a matter of time." ”"Then I hope you don't die because of your recklessness before you overtake him."
Damien jumped off the rock, he looked back at the ruins behind him, the flames lit by Grayson with the Batmobile were like torches in the night, the burning sight had already attracted the attention of the surrounding residents, and if they didn't leave, they might soon be surrounded by the police who arrived on the way.Gotham's cops, while wasteful, have no doubt that they have a numerical advantage.If Damian, Grayson, and Jason can fight again, they will bleed too, and they will probably hate this place in the face of hundreds of guns."
It's time for us to go."
Damien kicked the claw in front of him, and behind him, Jason lifted a rock with difficulty and smashed it on the fallen claw, crushing the undead in place."
Grayson, get the car over!"
Damien shouted over the communicator, "We need to get out before we get around here." ”"We can't go!"
Jason grabbed Damian's wrist and said, "Batman is still inside!"
”"Merlin went to save him, he can get all the trouble, we have to protect ourselves first."
Damian said indifferently: "If Batman dies like this, it can only be said that he is nothing more than that." ”"You bastard!"
Jason screamed angrily, "That's your father!"
”"Really?
I see him more like you and Grayson's father. ”Damian shook Jason's hand away, and said, "He hasn't been with me since I was born. ”"You!"
Jason almost gritted his teeth and wanted to punch the little bastard, but the problem was that he might not be able to beat him.Seriously, Bruce does overlap a bit with his father's figure in Jason's mind, and because of this, he can't stand the cynicism of other people about Batman, especially Bruce's real son.In the burning flames around him, Jason had a complicated glint in his eyes.To be honest, he was a little jealous of Damien."
They're here again, hell."
In the darkness around him, another shadow appeared, and with a toe of Damian, a knife used by the claws jumped into his hand, and the young man who enjoyed the battle turned to Jason and said, "Hold on to your weapon, don't hold me back this time." ”But just when the two teenagers were about to fight with the claws that attacked again, in the ruins behind them, several whistling wind-breaking sounds sounded, and the black bat knife slashed through several whirling trajectories in the air, accurately piercing into the bodies of those claws, and the next moment, the high-energy explosives in the bat knife detonated, and in a few dull explosions, several brilliant flames rose into the sky."
Yo, what are you two boys arguing about?"
Merlin appeared beside Damien and Jason at the dance of the dark winds, he flicked his wand and threw the fire spell in front of him, and in the burning of the summoned magic flames, the claws that Damien had pinned to the ground were quickly burned to ashes.Merlin hooked his fingers, and the metal in the scorching ashes fell into his hands, and behind him, Batman, in a cape, also walked out of the darkness in silence.He seemed to have regained his previous indifferent fighting stance, but under the sharp-eared helmet, there was still an unrelieved light in those eyes.He hadn't fully recovered from the experience of witnessing his father's sin, and to be honest, from Bruce's point of view, it almost upended his beliefs that it would take him a while to adjust himself."
I'll go first."
Merlin grabbed Damien's arm beside him, and he said to Bruce, "See you at Wayne Manor!"
”With that, the Transfiguration Charm was activated, and in the distortion of the light, Merlin and Damien disappeared into the burning fire.Grayson quickly rushed to Bruce's side in the Batmobile, who lifted the injured Jason into the car, and then sat in the driver's seat, he looked up and looked at Dick on the side of the car.
Grayson, he said, "Aren't you going back with us?"
”"I...
I have a class tomorrow. ”Grayson, who was wearing a blue combat suit and had a bat insignia on his chest, scratched his head, and he said to Batman with a calm face: "The tutor at Brookhaven University is very strict, if you miss class, then the exam results of this semester will be very bad, I have to rush back before class, don't worry about me, Batman, what you taught me, let me take care of myself." ”"Plus, it's nice to see you're safe and sound."
The free-spirited young man waved his hand at Bruce, turned, and nimbly stepped over the low wall behind him, quickly disappearing into the darkness.Bruce watched Grayson leave, and he started the Batmobile, which quickly disappeared into the burning, ash-strewn fire before the police arrived.On the other side, in a wooded area not far from Wayne Manor, Merlin and Damian appeared on a small hillside.Damian shook his head, letting the uncomfortable feeling of vertigo slip from his mind, he looked at Merlin beside him, then took the small pocket from his waist and handed it to him.In that pocket, there were several pieces of mysterious metal that had been taken from the claw's corpse.There are big and small, and they all have that very soft touch."
Thanks, Damian."
Merlin crumpled the metal into a ball and put it in his pocket, and he stood on the quiet hillside, Damien beside him, the child taking off his mask and breathing in the dark air, he had enjoyed the battle before, but now he looked a little sullen."

We teamed up to rescue your father, and you proved that you can fight better than Bruce, and managed to make him owe you a big favor...
Why do you have to show this expression?
”Merlin said to Damien, "Let me guess, it's because of Jason.
Todd?
”"Nope."
Damian denied it: "It has nothing to do with that stupid boy. ”"Do you smell it?"
Merlin sniffled, and suddenly said to Damien, "That sour smell." ”"What?"
Damian turned his head to look at Merlin, who shrugged at him, "You're jealous of Jason, right?"
You feel like he's stealing your place. ”"I won't be so naïve!"
Damian crossed his arms, turned his face, and said with a nonchalant expression: "Jason is a fool, obviously weak, but he is a bull temper who doesn't care, he will kill himself one day because of this." ”"But he followed Bruce as if he were his son, adored Bruce like a child adored his father, had absolute trust in Bruce, and was completely obedient."
Merlin whispered, "It must feel good to trust someone so unreservedly."
Damian, but Jason's place was supposed to be yours. ”"I'm not rare."
Damian snorted: "Whoever loves wants it, I don't want it." ”"Alright, you bastard."
Merlin crouched down and looked at Damian, and said, "This should be your Wayne family's family affair, I shouldn't interfere, but Talia asked me to take care of you, so I'll take care of you, no more, no less."
Listen to me, you and Bruce don't get along, it's not because you're born to be offended, there's no hatred between father and son. ”"You're just too strangers and eager to get close, but you've inherited Bruce's character, and neither of you is the kind of person who will take the initiative to say 'love'.This is normal, not everyone talks about love every day. ”"But he's your father, and Jason's presence doesn't change that fact.I think that kid is probably jealous of you too, and a big reason for his argument with you is because he thinks you don't know how to cherish it...
I mean, maybe you should learn to change your rampage personality and learn to get along with your father just like you did with Ah Fu. ”"Why am I changing?"
Damien looked at Merlin, and he said seriously, "Why didn't Bruce adapt to me?"
It took him almost 2 years to get Dick.
Grayson trained to be Robin, and after Grayson left him, he found Jason again, he taught him, he took care of him, he protected him...
But he never did those for me!
”"Yes, he didn't know I existed, and I don't blame him, but the first day I came home, he didn't even give me a 'welcome' and a hug!""
He just told me that my grandfather was a bad guy and that I shouldn't learn from him.He asked me to stay at Wayne Manor, to live in a way I wasn't used to...
I grew up without a father, so what?
I can still live alone!
And you can live more freely and better!
”Damian gritted his teeth and said, "I don't need a father!"
There is no need for a father like Bruce!
”The child's words silenced Merlin.Sure enough, he shouldn't have intervened in this matter in the first place, there are too many factors mixed in the father-son relationship between Damien and Bruce, whether it is Damien or Bruce, they are not the kind of people who will take the initiative to change, and this is not a problem that Merlin can solve at all.And seeing Merlin silent, Damian suddenly said, "You and my mother have known each other for a long time before she met Bruce, why didn't you pursue her at that time?"
I think we're more compatible with Bruce than I amend. ”"Come on."
Merlin said, "Not everyone can tolerate a woman like your mother. ”He stood up and looked at Damian.After a few moments, he took something out of his pocket and placed it in Damien's hand, it was an alchemical artifact, like a pendant, but with a faint raven mark on it."
What is this?"
Damien played with the metal pendant, and he looked at Merlin, who said to him, "The microphone I made some time ago, you can use it as a magic phone, but it's more secure, and you can't be tracked with it unless you use it in front of a big wizard's eyes, but I don't think you'll be so reckless." ”"I'm not going to be by your side all the time, Damian, actually, I may be leaving Gotham soon."
Merlin said to Damien, "You're right, we do get along very well, and I don't have many friends, but I think you're one."
Listen to me, go back and have a good talk with Bruce, and trust me, he loves you. ”"The reason why he is cold to you, I think, may be because he is afraid that you will suffer the same childhood as him...
He knows what a dangerous job he does, and he is afraid that after you like him, he will disappear into your life in a very cruel and abrupt way, leaving you alone again. ”Merlin stroked Damian's hair, his voice softer: "Bruce, he does a job that can only be supported by ideals and beliefs, he thinks he is indestructible, but he is actually fragile...
He had just gone through a terrible nightmare, and now he needed a pillar stronger than faith. ”"What he needs is you, Damian
