[Comprehensive British and American] Robin Girl Potter

Damian stepped forward, stood beside Harry, and said to Bruce, "We are two, you choose one, and the other goes to Titan."

His bet was that Bruce knew the Titan's enemies were more dangerous.

And of course Bruce knew what Damian was up to.Unobtrusively wrapped in a bathrobe, he said deadpan, "I don't need a Robin,"

"Your words broke the hearts of all four of us, Bruce." Jason interjected from a distance, "By the way, despite his age, he still maintains a good figure."

Tim also nodded, "It feels like the four of us have done nothing."

Bruce could tell they weren't serious either, they were just joking with him.Of course, he really shouldn't be so absolute. Several Robins were once one of the beams of light in his dark life.

He sighed, the few words Harry just said were quite reasonable, and he couldn't see that the girl was so eloquent.

And the eloquent little girl is holding Damian by the corner of his clothes, looking at him nervously from the corner of her eyes from time to time, obviously she was so bold just now, but now she is pretending to be cowardly?

Bruce squatted down, eye-level with Harry, "You and Ben don't need to put on that Robin uniform to prove something to me, you know that."

Harry nodded lightly, "This is not to prove anything, but I want... I want to use my strength to participate in your cause. I think I am quite useful."

"Of course I believe that. Have you ever been hurt?"

She looked at the little brother beside her, "Damian was seriously injured not long ago, a gunshot wound, in the chest; I have nothing serious, except that I often don't get enough sleep... I don't know how you all do it."

Bruce looked at his son with obvious concern in his eyes.Damian blushed a little, "Don't listen to Harry's exaggeration, I'm fine."

"Then, I can think about it." Seeing Harley's obviously excited expression, Bruce was a little distressed - saying this was just to delay time and give him a chance to unite with the old butler.Maybe there will still be a crying and noisy battle at that time, he just hopes that he can quickly think of a way to divert the girl's attention.

"It's very unfair. Think about the consequences of sneaking out in your uniform for the first time? You are already the most difficult Robin for the old guy." Jason patted Tim.

"Actually, we all have the experience of sneaking out in our uniforms. This is Robin's tradition. Bruce is used to it." Dick stepped forward and put his hands on the shoulders of his brother and sister.

Bruce stood up and double-checked that the bathrobe was still there - it was too scary to underestimate any school of magic.Especially when they play tricks.

"Don't use this kind of method...to deal with me again." He put on a serious expression and emphasized to Harry.

Harry nodded quickly and obediently.

This topic is finally over, however, there are still some other arrangements that need to be clarified...

"Dick..." Bruce said, with a rare hesitation.

"Batman or you*" and Dick could have guessed exactly what Bruce was going to say, "I'd rather be Nightwing, that's my style - your cape weighs a ton, I've always felt like I was carrying a A circus tent, or an evening dress made of Kevlar.*”

"Brudhaven needs me too."

Bruce nodded after a brief silence. From Dick's eyes, he knew that his adopted son understood him-this had nothing to do with taking back the territory.

The bell is still ringing.His mission isn't done -- as long as Gotham needs Batman, as long as the night isn't over. *

Later, when the children were in bed, the night watch was successfully completed with Barbara's help.Bruce sat quietly in front of the computer in the Batcave when he heard Alfred's footsteps behind him.

"I'm sorry, Fu - about Harley..." He felt his mouth dry.

"Why do you say that." Ah Fu put down the tray indifferently, on which he was familiar with the night snack configuration - simple sandwiches and milk.

"Don't 'why' me, you know why." The old butler's knowingly asking made him a little annoyed, "Well, since you insist on listening to me - because she is your relative, and I am letting her take risks."

"Then let me tell you something that you know very well, but I need to emphasize repeatedly—for me, you and Harley are no different. Blood relationship is not the reason for classifying intimacy and treating them differently."

"Haley shouldn't be on this path - this crime-fighting path. This isn't her war."

"If your ability to travel through time and space is still there, I hope you can go back more than ten years ago and tell this to yourself who decided to put on a black cloak and become a bat." The old housekeeper replied earnestly, "And I will Remember the apology you just made to me. For if there really is another world after death, I need to say the same to Lord Thomas and Mrs. Martha - to express my sincerest apologies to them for not taking good care of their son, put him on 'this path'."

"... Whatever you say, Ah Fu."

Alfred looked at the gloomy Bruce.

"Harry and Dick, they are not deliberately defying you, nor do they take their lives seriously; they are just afraid, Master Bruce, afraid of losing you again. Especially Harley-she finally understands that although you have been Omnipotent, but you don't have superpowers, you don't have a green light ring, and you're not immortal."

"After you...leaved, she often even looked at me secretly. When she thought I wasn't paying attention, she was afraid that someone would leave her again. She also looked at Dick with the same gaze, after returning from night patrol every day."

"And the reason they're so actively trying to keep Robin on your side after you come back is because it's their way of letting go of their worries and fears—worries about your safety, fears of losing you again. you."

Bruce listened silently, Alfred always had the ability to silence him.

"You really don't mind?" After Ah Fu finished for a long time, he slowly raised his head and looked into the eyes of the old housekeeper.

"You are all my children, Master Bruce. And I know you have long regarded Harley as your own daughter. So, for her participation in this cause of protecting the city, my attitude is the same as it is for you— —I will be worried when you go out, I will be sad because of your injuries, and I will also hope that you can return to normal life. But this is your decision, I will respect and support, and I will be proud when you make achievements and changes. "

Bruce closed his eyes, feeling convinced.

"Okay, I'll take her with me on regular night patrols; but she'll definitely be excluded for special operations related to Arkham, the League of Assassins, etc. I'll teach her too, I'll train her— —more targeted, more intensive, and more rigorous training, compared to the self-defense techniques she received when she was a child."

"I trust your decision, Master Bruce."

The blue light of the bat computer enveloped the two people in the dark cave.

"I always feel that the dog that Jason picked up is not normal." After a long silence, Bruce propped his chin and seemed to be talking to himself in front of the computer.

"In what ways, Master Bruce?"

"It pays too much attention to Harley, and, besides, is too smart." He shook his head. "It can even overwhelm Ace. Don't you doubt it?"

"I doubt it, but in the end, it's just a dog."

For this statement, Bruce was noncommittal.On the computer screen, his projection was still frowning.

*************

The next day, when Bruce announced to Halle that she could continue to be Robin, there was a burst of cheers that almost burst through the roof, and a soft hug.

But he maintained a serious and cold expression.

"If you start, you are not allowed to quit, I will be very strict with you. You must take every training seriously, and you are not allowed to complain of pain. My requirements for you will be as high as your brothers. You must be mentally prepared."

Harry nodded obediently.

"At the same time, you also have to go back to school." Bruce continued, "You can go back to Gotham to help during the winter and summer vacations. This is a condition you must agree to, otherwise there will be no discussion."

Hearing that he was going back to school, Harry was stunned for a while, but he didn't object, "Okay... But when there is something urgent, please notify me. I will rush back from school."

"Say more."

"..." Harry pouted and found that Uncle Bruce was serious, so he could only agree, "Okay..."

The author has something to say:

*In the comics, after Bruce returned, Dick went on to do Batman for a while, and Bruce himself was committed to establishing batmanincorporated (Batman Incorporated).This article sets the direct handover.

*The evening dress made of Kevlar is also a complaint that Dick himself said in the comics.

*The bell is still ringing that sentence, quoting Bruce Wayne's last confession in "Bruce Wayne Returns" (the original text is No.1 title).
