I'm the villain in Gotham

Because of the change of plans, Bruce didn't go back to his room to catch up on sleep after finishing his night watch as usual. He worked until the morning, just to tell Lotkea the first time he saw him that he didn't have to go to New York for business. .

...but he seemed to have waited too long.

Bruce sat in the dining room, looked at the watch on his wrist boredly, and then yawned, wanting to bury his head in his arms and fall asleep.It was already the time when Lotkea usually came down to have breakfast, but he didn't show up in the dining room, perhaps because he didn't have to go to work, so he slept a little longer today?

Bruce guessed, brushing back his slightly disheveled hair.In order to make Lotkea think he was going to work in the company, Bruce changed into a suit and tie after taking off the bat suit, just to be able to express himself when Lotkea saw him for the first time. Show your radiance.

He waited for another half an hour. Seeing that the company's normal working hours had passed, and Lotkea hadn't shown up yet, Bruce had no choice but to go upstairs and knock on the door of his room: "Lotkea?"

No one inside responded.

Bruce yelped twice more, then realized something was wrong.

At this moment, he thought of many possibilities, each of which was related to his unknown enemy.Bruce's expression turned sharp in an instant, and he pushed open the door——

Lotkea was lying quietly on the bed.

Bruce came to him quickly and checked his condition - there was no trauma on his body, and his breathing was fairly stable, but his face didn't seem very good-looking.He looked around the entire room, and there was no sign of foreign intruders. Yesterday, Lotkea stayed in the manor all day, and there was no possibility of drug poisoning.

So maybe he's... sick?

Thinking of the cold wind blowing for a long time in the garden with Lotkea yesterday, Bruce frowned, and reached out to touch Lotkea's forehead tentatively.It seems a little hot, maybe a fever.Bruce breathed a sigh of relief, while secretly berating himself for not stopping him sooner yesterday.

At this time, he found that Lotkea's expression suddenly became strange.

He seemed to shrank back subconsciously, trying to avoid his hand, but the range of movements he could move in the drowsiness was not too large, so he failed.Lotkea's face was full of resistance, and maybe there was some panic. He frowned, his body shrank unconsciously, and even trembled slightly: "...don't touch me."

Bruce's eyes widened suddenly.

He was silent for a moment, moved his palm away, and then took two steps back silently.

Then he observed that Lotkea's body seemed to relax.

Bruce didn't make any extra moves, turned and left Lotkea's room.

Alfred found him in the Batcave.At this time Bruce was sitting in front of the bat computer, with his head propped on one hand, his eyes fixed on the direction of the screen, his beautiful steel blue pupils slightly dilated, thoughtful.

Something is wrong.

he thinks.
