【Good morning, world.I am standing right now on the outskirts of Gotham City, and behind me is the starting point of this cosmic catastrophe. As you can see, so far, the battleships of the Justice League and the Avengers are still in the sky... Although we have not yet learned about them What method was used to repel the alien beasts, but standing here, looking at this blue sky, I am proud of them. 】

The sun still rises, and a new day has arrived.

Just like other cities in the world, the reconstruction of Gotham is in full swing. The whole city has a rare sunny day. The bright and warm spring shines in the eyes of everyone, and it is a thriving scene.

During the construction and reconstruction of "ding ding dong dong" everywhere, a dark high-end car quietly parked outside a beautiful three-story small western-style building.

The car door opened, and Bruce Wayne, who was driving, stepped down first. Before he opened the back seat door in a gentlemanly manner, Eudora, who had been sitting in the back seat, had already opened the door and walked out.

She glanced at Bruce with a complicated expression, then turned her head and stared deeply at the beautiful and warm small western-style building that she once envied.

... This western-style building with a small garden lived in Gordon and his daughter.

The last time he was here, a year ago, Dick took her to help Barbara treat her spine.

And this time I came here to meet James Gordon again.

After all the dust settled, Shen Mo, Casillas and others were brought to justice, the Falcone family was reshuffled, and Terry and his accomplices were arrested and imprisoned.

Returning to Earth, Eudora, who had recovered all her memories, wanted to meet the detective Mr. who saved her life again.

She originally made an appointment with Barbara to come over after Barbara finished her work, but after learning about this, Bruce actually took time out of his busy schedule to contact Gordon and bring the little girl over in person visit.

Eudora who was forced to agree to Bruce: ... Barbara, you love to come back qaq

With a puzzled look on her face, she had to follow Bruce into the room step by step.

Walking through the beautiful small garden and through the narrow corridor, in the spacious living room, an old man with white hair and a calm and serious face stood there upright.

When he saw Bruce, his eyes softened a little, and he nodded slightly at him, then turned his eyes again and landed on the little girl behind Bruce.

The cold and serious face softened completely, and the old man looked deeply at the girl's somewhat ignorant face and those still bright pupils, and smiled.

"Look, I was right at the beginning, right?"

Gordon stretched out his hand, showed his little finger to Eudora, and blinked at the little girl in relief:

"As I said, good girl...you are the chosen one."

When it comes to children, he never lies.

The little girl had a sore nose, and tears almost came out of her eyes.

Looking at the old man who had helped her selflessly, encouraged her and guided her when she was most confused and helpless, she smiled with red eyes.

"Yes, you are right."

She murmured, tears blurred her vision, "...I am the Chosen One."

Before she finished speaking, she lowered her head, wiped away her tears indiscriminately, and said with a sob:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...and, thank you."

Sorry for not being able to help you in time due to memory loss.

Thank you for extending your hand to Eudora Hardy when she was most desperate and embarrassed.

The little girl's uncontrollable sobs echoed through the room, and Gordon shook his head and smiled.

"... These two sentences should be said to you by me."

The serious sheriff who once suppressed all the crimes in Gotham by himself was unbelievably gentle at the moment. He raised his eyes and glanced at the smiling daughter in the photo on the wall, touched Eudora's head with his hand, and said softly.

"I'm sorry, at that time, I didn't properly confirm how you were going after that."

"Thank you, after I grew up safely, I really became a hero and saved the most important treasure in my life."

Seeing that Eudora really couldn't control his tears, Bruce felt very depressed. He stopped Gordon in time to continue talking, and patted the little girl on the shoulder instead:

"Now that I've made it clear, go upstairs to find Barbara."

Gordon watched with a smile in the corner of his eyes as Eudora, who was sobbing and about to hiccup, actually obediently went upstairs to find Barbara at Bruce's request, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart for Batman's touching EQ.

After thinking about it, he didn't show it. After watching Yudora go upstairs and close the door, he returned to his usual seriousness and looked at Bruce:

"You should be gentle with that child."

Taking Gordon's advice as a deaf ear, the indifferent and serious Bruce frowned:

"You should have told me about her 'mutant status'."

Batman will come to visit Gordon with Eudora, in addition to escorting the little girl, but also to obtain the information that Eudora lacked in childhood.

——Back then, Gordon handled this case without telling everyone. He blocked all the key core information about the case at that time, and kept the matter of Udora's ability explosion at that time. The hole here is also kept in the dark.

It has been ten years, and Batman, who has never known that there is such a tragedy in Gotham, looked at Gordon very seriously:

"With Lisa Hardy's vision and IQ, she will definitely abandon her 'mutant' daughter—you should have guessed it."

"I know."

Gordon rubbed his nose, and said guiltily and helplessly, "After that case was over, I asked someone to pay attention to the life of Eudora and her mother... You will never guess how clever and clever that child is." gone."

He slowly handed the USB drive in his pocket to Bruce.

It's like handing over a child who has been protected for ten years.

Although it is not ruled out that the staff of the Children's Protection Association are not serious about their work, at that time, the eight-year-old girl really fooled all the adults by herself, making everyone, including Gordon, think that Li Sarah is still there.

It is difficult to investigate people like Lisa Hardy who are regarded as jobless people. Who would have thought that she quietly abandoned her daughter, and even left the whole house and bank card behind!

With these things, and because the little girl at that time was afraid of being sent to the orphanage, she fooled the staff with a serious face and created the illusion that her mother was still there, so that everyone was deceived by a little girl.

After that, Gordon gradually stopped paying attention to Eudora's life because he confirmed that Lisa was still (by mistake).

Thinking about it now, it was the entanglement of these messy coincidences that caused Udora to live cautiously for ten years in a difficult environment where no one cared about her.

"I can understand her fear of entering an orphanage..."

Recalling the little girl who was scared and vigilant back then, Gordon just wanted to sigh, "But in fact, if I knew that Lisa Hardy had abandoned her, I would never let that child be taken into an orphanage. You should Got it, Bruce."

In fact, for such a mutant child with strange abilities and prone to outbreaks, he would definitely notify Batman immediately to adopt Eudora under the name of "Bruce Wayne".

"If I knew Lisa Hardy had abandoned her ten years ago, now, she should be the carefree little daughter of the Wayne family, not Hardy who struggled to survive in the Diamond District and struggled from the bottom to the top."

It's just a coincidence.

Ten years ago, he had the idea of ​​letting Bruce adopt the little girl.

Ten years later, Bruce and the little girl came together. Judging from Eudora's demeanor and actions, she trusted Bruce very much.

Bruce's jaw clenches, his head tilts back slightly, his Adam's apple twitches.

"...It doesn't matter."

Looking at the guilty old man, the man's hoarse voice contained complex emotions.

Hearing footsteps coming from the stairwell, Bruce stood up and said lightly:

"I'll make it up."

As soon as the words fell, Udora and Barbara, who had obviously stabilized their emotions, walked down at the same time.

"It's getting late," Bruce picked up the suit jacket next to the chair, and waved at Eudora, "We still have other things to do, let's go first."

"……Yes, sir?"

Eudora, who didn't even say a few words to Gordon, looked dazed. She walked to Bruce's side consciously, and the gloomy man turned and walked towards the door.

"!?"

Eudora really didn't expect Bruce to leave as soon as he said so, she quickly stopped, turned around and bowed deeply to Gordon.

"Thank you."

Her tears were about to come out again, so she held back her tears and said gratefully, "Thank you for saving me, even though I was just a child who didn't understand anything at the time, you were willing to enlighten me and praised me as a born hero. "

Not everyone has the heart to enlighten a strange child who has never met.

Not any policeman has the courage to boldly erase all data in order to protect a child.

"Why not?"

At the end, the smiling Gordon raised his eyebrows, he paused, and said meaningfully,

"Son, you have to know that in my career, I have met countless children with tragic life experiences and situations-but when it comes to enlightenment and protection, I have only met two children who were born heroes. "

As if he remembered something, the old man’s eyes were full of nostalgia, and he said slowly:

"In order to protect the one I love, I have only helped two children who have courage and dare to take up arms against the enemy...you are the second one."

At the other end of the corridor, the discovery of the porch made a crisp "click" sound, and the man who was opening the door froze suddenly.

When Eudora didn't know why, and was about to open her mouth to continue asking, Bruce turned around suddenly, grabbed her arm with his backhand, and walked out without saying a word.

Eudora:? ? ?

The wooden door made a "creaking" sound, and the tall man and the petite girl stepped into the sunlight at the same time, and left as quietly as they came.

After the two left, Gordon walked to the door and noticed the handle of his own door at a glance. He didn't know when Bruce pinched a few cracks out of thin air.

"..."

He sighed helplessly, and heard Barbara curiously ask behind him.

"Dad, is what you just said true? Since Dora is the second, who is the other child? Do I know that child?"

"This is..."

—— "You didn't catch the murderer? It doesn't matter. Anyway, one day, I will take revenge with my own hands."

Decades ago, in the face of the young police detective who had just arrived and was ashamed, the young master who was proud and dignified and awe-inspiring said every word. The eight-year-old boy stood like a green pine in the deep and cold Wayne Mansion, with the dead behind him. Portraits of parents and respectful and dignified housekeepers.

—— "Is my mother okay? Is my mother okay? Did I, did I protect her well?"

Ten years ago, facing the majestic and serious police detective who met for the first time, the little girl covered in blood and trembling was stuttering, and the eight-year-old girl knelt in a pool of filthy blood, with life and death lying in front of her. unknown murderer.

"Fate is a circle..."

Watching the black car go away from a distance, the elderly police detective who witnessed the vicissitudes of Gotham with his own eyes laughed lowly.

Going round and round, all the things he had unintentionally guarded were returned one by one in another wonderful way.

Bruce took Eudora to the Black Gate Prison.

After the previous time, the intelligence spies in Black Gate Prison had been cleaned up by Batman. He brought Eudora here because they had more important things to do.

In the battle against Silent, several of Silent and Terry's subordinates knew the identities of Robin and Batman. After all these people were imprisoned, it would be impossible to kill them all directly, right?Zatanna, who can manipulate the memories of others, can only completely erase the memories of these people.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Eudora, but the bad thing is that Terry frantically brought back Eudora's mother Lisa Hardy, that is to say, Lisa also knew about Jason Tim their identities.

"Zatana and I both believe that...Lisa Hardy is innocent in this case, and she is your mother. Zatana wants to ask your opinion before deciding not to do anything."

Both put on their uniforms and walked into the Black Gate Prison. The man who became Batman again brought Eudora into a special prison and said softly.

Passing through the special prison and walking into a compound interrogation room similar to the one used when Carrie was interrogated, Yudora forced a smile, greeted Ms. Zatanna who was sitting quietly on the side, and then looked at Lisa on the other side of the glass.

She looked at Lisa silently for a while, and asked, "Can I...can I have a few more words with her?"

"better not."

Facing the little girl's hopeful eyes, Bruce shook his head frankly.

In fact, Bruce has good intentions, because Lisa Hardy, like many people, is extremely opposed to and resists the existence of mutants. This kind of thinking is deeply rooted, and it cannot be changed by just a few words.

He didn't want the little girl to be hurt by her mother's words again.

But this person said it so coldly, as if he was ordering Eudora not to have more contact with her biological mother, it was very cruel and ruthless—at least Zatanna who was sitting on the side had already glanced at Bruce several times up.

Zatanna: ... Batman, you better shut up.

Fortunately, Eudora's brain circuit is obviously different from that of ordinary young girls. She was keenly aware of the kindness behind Bruce's awkward attitude, but she still said firmly:

"Thank you... But, I still want to say a few words to her."

Opening the door on the other side, Eudora walked in slowly. Lisa, who had been very calm all along, almost jumped out of her seat as if she had been greatly frightened.

The woman who was over forty but still beautiful seemed to see the sudden appearance of a devil in hell, and her complexion twisted. If she hadn't been handcuffed, she would probably have run away in fear on the spot.

Seeing Lisa's tongue-tied, terrified speechless appearance, Yudora's heart stabbed, and she tried to comfort Lisa softly:

"Mother……"

"Go away."

The merciless scolding hit her head and face, and Yudora's pace of trying to walk in was slowed down. She moved her lips and did not speak.

Lisa's whole body was constantly leaning back, she stared at Eudora, and said coldly.

"Don't call me mother, you are a devil who has taken over my daughter's body, you are not worthy."

On the other side of the glass, Zatanna looked at Lisa expressionlessly, with faint anger flashing in her eyes, while Bruce, who had been standing behind Eudora, clenched his fists in an instant.

He raised his hand subconsciously, wanting to pull the little girl away from the indifferent woman like before. However, after raising his hand, he realized what he had done.

...Moreover, he has no position to do so at all.

Eudora took a deep breath, she stood at the door and didn't go in, and said every word:

"If I say, I'm a mutant..."

"Isn't that still a monster?"

Lisa interrupted Eudora rudely, her eyes were red, her teeth were clenched, and she cursed tremblingly, "...my daughter, my Dora, is the cutest and smartest child in the world. Not a monster like you, she—”

Amidst Lisa's cursing, Yudora closed the door and left without even entering.

Turning around and returning to the interrogation room here, the little girl looked extremely calm.

In fact, Lisa's attitude had already been foreshadowed. After getting the expected response, Yudora didn't feel too uncomfortable.

She suppressed the tingling pain in her heart, looked at Zatana, and said politely:

"Excuse me."

"Have you made up your mind?"

The powerful female magician looked at the calm and composed Eudora lovingly, and asked softly, "If you need to, manipulate her memory and erase all her memories at that time... there is no problem."

Zatanna is capable of manipulating and obfuscating people's memories, as well as erasing people's memories, she suggests pityingly after learning of the rift and rift between the mother and daughter.

This time, it was Bruce's turn to scratch Zatana with a sullen look.

Batman: ...shut up Zatanna.

In fact, as long as Zatanna erases Lisa's memory at that time and slightly manipulates and modifies it, Lisa can return to the normal and gentle "mother" before. As long as Eudora hides her ability well, she once The longing mother came back naturally.

Zatana suggested this because Eudora still had hope for her mother, but unexpectedly, the little girl rejected her almost without thinking.

"Thank you for your kindness, but... no need."

Yudora smiled bitterly, and after thinking about it, she begged:

"If it's convenient for you, please modify her memory—let her daughter Eudora Hardy die at the age of eight."

This is not a simple memory problem, it is a conceptual problem.

Memories manipulated, memories erased... so what?

Paper can't hold fire, she chose the system and chose to become a superhero. She had already embarked on a completely different path, so she didn't want to imagine the scene of continuing to live in peace with Lisa.

The magic in Zatana's hand passed through the entire interrogation room like a gentle wind, and landed beside Lisa Hardy.

Through the thick glass wall, Eudora watched Lisa, who was irritable and frightened, slowly closed her eyes under the gentle magic, and fell asleep like a gentle child with a calm expression. .

At the moment when the magic took effect, she finally lost Lisa completely.

All her life, she had nothing to do with her mother.

As if she was finally relieved, and as if she had been forcibly stripped of some emotion in the depths of her soul, the little girl seemed to have a large piece of her heart dug out. With the pace of walking, she could even hear the deep voices in her heart. The muffled sound of bumping up and down.

The sun was almost setting as Bruce walked out of Blackgate.

The fiery red sunset sank from the horizon, and the dreamy light dyed the floating clouds in the sky into deep and shallow pink, purple, pink and blue. On the edge of the clouds, strange golden light was embedded in them.

The gentle, almost warm wind blew past, and the man who had been silent all this time looked down at the silent Eudora. Under the brilliant sunlight, the girl's eyelids drooped and her thick eyelashes trembled slightly. .

After many years, Bruce Wayne seemed to be back in the gloomy and dark alley again. Gordon's previous emotions came to mind little by little, and he only felt ironic.

... a hero?

Watching their loved ones die tragically at the gunpoint of the enemy, but they are powerless to resist.

He exposed his ability and tried his best to save the most important person in his life, but he was scolded and abandoned.

He really couldn't tell which was more desperate.

Even if there were tens of thousands of thoughts in his mind, at this moment he really wanted to comfort the girl in front of him. The man held back for a long time, but only uttered a dry comfort:

"……Do not be sad."

"what?"

Eudora raised her head in astonishment, seeing Bruce's tightly pursed lips and staring at her, she realized that he was comforting her.

Feeling warm in her heart, she pursed her lips, stretched out her hand to brush the scattered hair behind her ears, and said softly:

"I'm actually... not as sad as you think."

After being abandoned by her mother for so many years, expecting her to die because of Lisa's appearance, that would be too low on her.

"I'm not that sad, I just...don't know what to do."

If Lisa had really abandoned her coldly and ruthlessly, and sold the child for profit like Jason's biological mother, then she could have hated her, but Lisa was not.

If Lisa abandoned her helplessly due to some reasons, but after the reunion, even if she expressed a little worry and love for her, she would put everything down and love her, but Lisa was not.

"I don't know what to do. I am Eudora Hardy, but in Lisa's heart, I am already dead."

Under the setting sun, facing the breeze, in front of the completely reliable Batman, Eudora took off all disguises, a little confused, and said a little self-deprecatingly.

This sentence sounded inexplicable, even a bit out of date, but Bruce understood.

This time, his voice seemed to be falling from the wind, the man lowered his head, and said forcefully and unquestionably:

"Then let go of this identity."

"?"

The corner of Udora's mouth twitched, she was a little helpless, "Sir, I still have my normal life."

She is not like Jason or Carrie Bourne, she still has to go to college, and she has other friends, how could she easily abandon the identity of Eudora Hardy completely?

"I know, I mean—"

The man's voice became deeper and deeper, and his dark blue eyes looked deeply at the little girl in front of him, as if he was eagerly making up for something, or proclaiming something:

"Eudora Wayne—isn't this identity okay?"
