Like the Wayne family, Elliott is also one of the four oldest families in Gotham City.Bruce and Thomas Elliott were about the same age, and the two had been good friends since they were young. It was only when they were seven that unfortunately happened to Elliott.On a pouring rainy night, his parents were in a car accident, and his father died after first aid by Thomas Wayne, who was the head of the trauma department at the time. Only his wife survived, which was a sensation in Gotham at the time. event.

Not long after the sad news, Elliott moved with his mother to Philadelphia, never to return, and Bruce never saw him again.

It never occurred to Bruce that this would be the case when they met again.

"Bruce, old friend." Elliott was a tall, handsome man with red hair.When he hurried back to Gotham from Philadelphia, it was already early morning the next day.He hurriedly shook hands with Bruce who was waiting outside the emergency room, and smiled at him: "Long time no see."

"It's been a long time." Bruce sighed: "Time flies so fast, we have lost nearly 20 years in the blink of an eye."

"But obviously we have grown a lot in the past 20 years." Elliott blinked: "Thank you for your trust. Trust me, he will be fine."

"Of course, Jimmy." Bruce shook his hand vigorously: "It was because I believed in you that I invited you back from Philadelphia all the way."

They didn't exchange any more, and Elliott stepped through the door of the emergency room, which closed in front of Bruce.

"...your friend looks pretty young," Harvey said aside.

"But he's skilled," Bruce replied.In fact, Thomas Elliott's reputation is quite loud in the medical field, otherwise Bruce would not have thought of him the first time the doctor announced that he could do nothing about Gordon's condition.

"I hope so." Harvey didn't say much, turned his head and walked outside: "There is a case to be held at nine o'clock today, and I can't waste any more time here."

"Wait." Bruce called him.

One night passed, the police officers who had been waiting outside the emergency room had a lot of work to do, most of them returned to their posts, and the few remaining to protect Gordon are now scattered at various monitoring points. Monto, who is in charge here, Ya Gang went out to buy coffee.

In other words, only Bruce and Harvey are left here.

"Harvey," Bruce walked quickly and stood in front of him, frowning slightly

: "You were a little too impatient before, it's not like you."

"I'm just too anxious," Harvey obviously didn't want to talk about this topic, he turned his head: "I will pay attention."

"Is that all?" Bruce asked.

"Yeah, that's all," Harvey said.

Bruce was silent for a while: "...Okay. Harvey, you know, now is the important time, you can't have any more accidents."

"Of course," Harvey said.He paused, his tone lowered, and he called, "Bruce."

Bruce looked at him, "What?"

"I..." Harvey frowned, pursed his lips, and finally all turned into a sigh: "It's nothing, I'm just a little emotional."

"Before I did this business—before I decided to join you and fight for the bright future of Gotham, I had already made predictions and guesses about the difficulties and setbacks we might encounter, including death, of course."

"But... when the moment did come, I was still panicked and overwhelmed by it." Harvey didn't feel comfortable dissecting himself in front of his friends.He turned slightly, not facing Bruce directly, which helped him to speak fluently: "I can't imagine Jim's death. When I think of it, I think of myself. Maybe one day I will be with him." Losing lives in a dark struggle? No, I'm not afraid of death, Bruce, I'm just—I'm just..."

He took a deep breath: "Maybe I took it for granted before. I know how dark the road I want to go, of course; but now it seems that I haven't really realized how it turns out The darkness and decay of this city, I have seen too much during my years as a prosecutor, I understand it, but I haven't fully understood it yet."

Harvey rubbed the coin in his pocket subconsciously, then turned his head to look at Bruce, and smiled softly: "I said so much, I don't want to give up. On the contrary, Bruce, after going through all this, this After everything, all these aspects—" His blue pupils were calm and resolute, shining with dots of light: "—I am ready to give everything to Gotham."

……

Elliott really lived up to Bruce's expectations. A few hours later, Gordon's operation was successfully completed and he passed the dangerous period smoothly.

As a childhood friend, Bruce invited Elliott to Wayne Manor as a guest.

Alfred greeted them at the gate of the manor: "Good morning, Mr. Elliott, nice to see you again

to you. "

"It's still the same as before, just call me Tommy, Ah Fu." Elliot laughed: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I'm glad to see that your health is as good as before."

While talking, they came to the villa of the manor.The Waynes were waiting for them inside the house, and they had a pleasant breakfast together.

Later, when Alfred led Elliott to the guest room to rest, Elliott looked at a closed door on the third floor and raised his eyebrows: "If I remember correctly, there was no one living there?"

"Now there is, Tommy," Bruce said. "His name is Lotkea, and he's my teacher and friend."

"Oh, it looks like you've made new friends after I left. That's great. I was worried that you'd be alone for the rest of your life." Elliott joked, "But he doesn't seem to be at home now? For breakfast? I didn't see anyone else at the time."

"Lotkaia is a researcher of Wayne Technology," Bruce said unintentionally about Harris Enterprises a while ago: "Recently, his research project has made new progress, and he hasn't been back for a while."

"A hard-working scientist, huh?" Elliott raised his eyebrows: "Speaking of which, I always feel that the name is a bit familiar. Let me think about it, um...neuron brain domain link?"

"One of his works," Bruce said.Elliott is a surgeon, and the neuronal brain domain link can be used in repair and detection after the surgical operation is completed. Bruce is not surprised that Elliott knows this: "Maybe you have seen him in the equipment manual. name."

"Maybe." Elliot shrugged. "I'm quite interested in this scientist's invention. Can you let us meet?"

"...I'll try." Bruce said uncertainly: "He should be very busy recently, the last time I called him, he didn't get through."

Elliott asked, "When was the last time you called?"

Bruce said, "More than a week ago, what happened?"

Elliott said: "It's been so long, he should be able to come out, right?"

Not necessarily, Bruce thought.Normally, if Lotkea lifted his state of indifference to the outside world, he would call him as soon as possible, or go back to Wayne Manor directly.

There is no news about him so far. I am afraid that the research has encountered a bottleneck.

So in the end Bruce just said he could give it a try.

"It doesn't matter," Elliott said generously, "if

If he really doesn't have time to come, maybe we can go directly to the research institute to find him?It just so happens that I also really want to visit your research institute of Wayne Enterprises. "

"Of course it's fine," Bruce said.

The itinerary was finalized for the next morning.It's just that when they were about to leave, Bruce suddenly received an urgent notice of a problem with a partner in Wayne Enterprises, and he had to leave his old friend behind to solve the problem alone.

Facing Bruce's apology, Elliott was very relieved: "It's okay, I can go and see for myself." He blinked: "Maybe we can be good friends without you being by the side .”

Bruce smiled helplessly at his joke and drove away from Wayne Manor.

Near noon, Elliott also came to the research institute under Wayne Enterprises.

Before coming, Bruce gave him a pass, which ensured that the staff would let him go and take some care of him.

Elliot sat in the rest area and explained his purpose.

The experimental assistant who received him seemed a bit embarrassed and scratched his head: "...I'm very sorry, Mr. Elliott, only he has the permission to enter Professor Dak's private laboratory, and he is busy with research recently, so I'm afraid he can't time……"

"That's all right," Elliott said understandingly. "He's going to come out for lunch anyway? I can wait until noon."

The expression of the experimental assistant became more difficult: "The professor usually eats in the laboratory. We only need to send the food in and take out the tableware after a while. He won't come out."

"I'll just sit here and wait." Elliott didn't intend to embarrass the poor intern any more, and nodded with a smile: "You also said that he won't come out under 'normal' circumstances, maybe I will meet What about less common situations?" He blinked: "If he hasn't come out after lunch, I won't wait, is that okay?"

He had a pass issued by Bruce himself, and the experimental assistant couldn't refuse his too many requests, and now he didn't mean to be embarrassed, and immediately nodded and agreed.

Elliott was sitting in the rest area, watching researchers and experimental assistants in white coats hurrying around outside.

Suddenly, there was a sound of laughing and booing.Elliott followed the voice, and saw several young researchers and experiment assistants surrounding a young and beautiful girl, and said happily, "Elena, come again!"

Delivering lunch to Professor Duck? "

Elena nodded, and handed the lunch box in her hand to an experimental assistant: "Don't tell him I made it."

"Of course, of course, we know." Several people responded with a smile, chattered a few more words, and dispersed.

Elliott sat in the lounge and waited for nearly an hour. After eating the staff meal brought by the intern assistant, he asked, "Is Mr. Duck out yet?"

The intern assistant said, "No, the professor has been in the lab."

Elliott sighed, stood up and straightened his hat: "Well, it seems that he is really busy, so I hope he at least has a good meal."

"Yes." The intern assistant said without thinking, "When I went to pick up the empty lunch box, the professor thanked me."

"Oh, that's good." Elliot smiled and waved to him: "Goodbye, thank you for your help."

The intern assistant hurriedly said, "You're welcome, it's my pleasure."

Elliott left the institute slowly.
