I'm the villain in Gotham

Zatara, who was playing chess with Thomas in the study of Wayne Manor, suddenly raised his head, and glanced out the window as if feeling something.

"What are you watching?" Thomas said humorously: "Although there is a small problem with the antenna of the TV, I think chess can also make you feel relaxed and happy, although you have never won a game."

Zatara ignored his joke: "I feel a magical force."

Thomas said: "I thought you told me before that there are indeed a few wizards in Gotham, but they are all quite safe, right?"

"But it's different this time." Zatar stretched his hand to draw some magic pictures on the air, and the shining light illuminated his face: "The magic that humans learn, no matter which system or element they lean toward , Their power itself will have certain self-characteristics. Like a glass of water, no matter how clear it looks, it will contain impurities, which is why we can quickly identify the source of the opponent's magic."

"But this time, I only feel the darkness."

He stood there thinking for a while, and suddenly beckoned to take the hardcover map book he had used before: "(Spell)!"

The atlas flipped quickly in the air for a while, and slowly a thick fog gushed out above the pages of the book, casting a vague figure.The contours of his face looked very young, with two pitch-black horns growing on his forehead, and his golden pupils were astonishingly bright even in the thick fog.When his face was about to show more clearly, the book suddenly closed, everything disappeared in an instant, and the hard cover fell to the floor with a dull sound.

"He only appeared for a moment and then disappeared," Zatara said, frowning.

"This is the man I asked you to find before? Is he a magician?" Thomas also stood up: "Where was the last time he appeared?"

Zatara picked up the atlas, stretched out his hand and flicked it for a while, then his expression froze.

"...he's at the Gotham Theater."

……

After Lotkea created a safe small space for himself and Bruce, his seal also returned to the state that it had not been opened before.

The method of breaking the seal without common sense is inherently unstable. Although this is faster, the consequences are far more serious than the step-by-step approach.For example, now, he has begun to feel pain, and the arms holding Bruce are slightly trembling.

Although the reason for this is not just because of the seal.

Bruce was in a highly sensitive period, and he noticed the change immediately: "What's wrong with you?!"

"Nothing, nothing." Lotkea took a careful breath, trying to keep his voice steady: "Listen, the sound of the siren is very close to us, I think the rescue team is coming soon."

As if to confirm his words, noisy footsteps ran towards them from far and near, and a young man shouted: "There are people here!"

Then the slate covering them was carefully moved away, the long-lost sunlight fell beside them, and Bruce's eyes finally recovered their proper function.

Lotkea looked at him tenderly.

"You see," he said, "we're saved."

……

By the time Lotkea returned to Wayne Manor after completing the examination at the hospital, it was already dark.

Fortunately, after negotiating with the government officials, Thomas blocked the frenzied reporters, otherwise he might not be able to return until tomorrow morning.

"His injury is not serious. Considering what he has encountered, he is really lucky." The doctor said, "But he has a little fever, which may be due to fright, or he may not be in good health. Just let him go back and take his medicine on time."

"As for the two boys? They didn't hurt at all. God, it's a miracle."

Lotkea sat on the bed in his room, and Thomas offered his condolences and thanks.

"This is what I should do, Mr. Wayne." Lotkea said, "It is impossible for any responsible adult to ignore the children around him in such a situation, let alone I promised You and Mr Zaatara will protect them."

Thomas sighed and did not continue the topic: "Lotkea, Gotham is a dangerous place, have you ever considered leaving here and returning to...well, the city you are familiar with?"

"I don't have a familiar city." Lotkea refused without hesitation: "I was just about to mention this to you, Mr. Wayne, can you allow me to become Master Bruce's professional tutor? I can talk to you Sign the contract."

"Even after what you have experienced today, do you still think so?" Thomas said, "I think there is one thing I need to tell you in advance. What you encountered today is likely to be related to Bruce, and the other party is for him. of."

Lotkea froze for a moment.

Seeing him hesitate, Thomas was relieved instead. He didn't want to involve irrelevant people in these family grievances.This is the reason why there are so few servants in such a huge Wayne Manor.He smiled and said, "I think you should think about it. No matter where you decide to go, the Wayne family can help you. Our companies are all over the world."

"No, no need, Mr. Wayne." Lotkea politely waited for Thomas to finish speaking, and immediately said: "I have made a decision, I will not leave."

Thomas looked at him for a while with a complicated expression, and stood up: "Although you said so, I still plan to give you three days to think about it carefully, Lotkea, this is a very important matter, related to your life It's safe, I hope you don't make a hasty decision. If you still think so after three days, then I will definitely not stop you."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Wayne."

Zatana was lying on the bed, and Zatara sat next to her, reaching out to comb her hair: "Sleep, Xiao Zha, don't be afraid, I will be here with you."

"I'm not very scared, Dad." Zatanna took his hand and lowered her eyes: "I just... I just feel so useless."

"You are just too young." Zatara comforted her: "Your magic level will not always be like this. Your magic talent is very high, Xiao Zha, far higher than me, and you will become stronger."

"Hmm." Zatanna responded in a low voice, without speaking, and closed her eyes.

Just when Zatara thought she was asleep, Zatana suddenly said, "Dad, there is something strange today."

"what's up?"

"During the last explosion," Zatanna said, "a piece of the ceiling fell on me."

Zatara squeezed her hand.

"I'm fine, Dad. It came down on me and destroyed my ward spell. Just when I thought it was going to hit the top of my head, it was moved away - it was moved next to me , forming a triangular structure with the wall, so I was unscathed."

"I should have died there, but I didn't, Dad," Zatanna murmured. "Someone saved me."

Zatara thought of the man with the golden eyes.

In the end, he just kissed Zatanna on the forehead: "I see, Xiao Zha."

The feeling of having a low-grade fever was not pleasant, and Lotkea felt dizzy and felt weak in his hands and feet.

Just when he was dazed and half asleep, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and Bruce walked in quietly.

"Hey, Bruce." Lotkea sat up and winked at him: "Are you scared by me?"

The corner of Bruce's mouth hooked slightly, as a response to his joke.He sat on Lotkea's bed and asked, "Did I wake you up?"

"No, I'm not asleep yet."

Lotkea looked at Bruce, thinking he was feeling something other than depressed.

He thought for a while, and decided to say something to ease the atmosphere: "Did Mrs. Wayne comfort you? She won't be more scared than you, right?"

"Mom was really scared." Bruce smiled at him slightly, this time he didn't look so reluctant: "She hugged me and cried a lot, and then Dad and I comforted her for a long time."

"Oh, so are you trying to comfort me now, little man?"

"I'm not." Bruce was silent for a moment: "I don't think you need my comfort, and I don't want to comfort you."

"I just want to tell you that this kind of thing will never happen again." Just now Lotkaia's incomprehensible emotions were revealed by him. Bruce looked at him and said in a word: "I promise."

Lotkea felt that he must be more seriously ill, his mind was dizzy, and Bruce's immature cheeks in front of him seemed to grow open all of a sudden, the man looked at him with his steel blue eyes, his tone was serious, It seems that he has regarded him as his life's responsibility: "Eberist, I will take care of you, and I will help you."

Lotkea looked dazed, and murmured: "...I believe in you."

Batman said: "I will help you fit into this world."

No you don't.

What you do is never what I need.

……

Lotkea knew he was dreaming.

In the dream, he was in the former Wayne Manor. Batman's first two sons have already gone solo. Red Robin, as the leader of the Teen Titans, is resident in the Titan Tower, so Damian is the only one who often stays in Wayne Manor.

Damian often asks Erberist to change back to his original body: "I order you to get down, I want to ride you! I want to touch your horns! I want you to fly me around the earth!"

Erberister said: "...Only the master can command me."

Damian Xiongzi came up with energy: "I am my father's son! I am the only one who can succeed him as Batman in the future! After my father dies, you will be mine too!"

"...No, I will only belong to Bruce Wayne, and that will never change."

If this conversation happened to be overheard by Batman, he would look very disapproving, his brow furrowed tightly through the hood, and he would say, "No, Erberist, you don't belong to me. , you belong only to yourself."

Erberister really wanted to tell him that creatures like dragons would not change once they confirmed their master, and they would serve him wholeheartedly until their death.

But Batman never listened, he kept asking Urberister to look at himself, to see himself as an individual.

It's difficult, it's painful, it's against nature.

But since it was Batman's order, Erberist also tried his best to do it.He disguised himself as a normal person, forced himself not to pay attention to him all the time, and learned to do some "own things".

But he didn't understand why Batman still refused to accept him.
