I'm the villain in Gotham

Before Batman finished introducing Wayne Manor, Erberist had already finished the two bottles of juice in the refrigerator.Seeing Alfred's apologetic eyes, Erberist pursed his lips unhappily.

"If you like, I can call and order some more, and it will probably arrive tomorrow." Considering that Batman may have other plans, Alfred said a rather broad time: "You still want to drink this One, or some flavors?"

"I want to try something else." Erberist said, and finally looked at Alfred with sincerity: "Thank you."

Realizing that his tone was different from before, Alfred smiled: "My honor, Mr. Lotkea."

Not long after, Alfred bid farewell to Erberister gently and hurried away from them.A moment later, Erberist heard the sound of the door opening and closing.

"What did he do?" asked Erberist.

Batman said: "Go and pick up Damian." He glanced at the clock on the wall: "At this time, Damian should be out of school."

Then, they walked to the second floor, and Batman pointed to a room for Erberist: "That's your bedroom, Alfred has cleaned it for you, and you will live here after that." After finishing speaking, He glanced intently at Eberister's smooth forehead and asked, "Do you need to spend magic to maintain your human appearance?"

"Only a little, my lord," smiled Urberister, "but it's nothing to me, almost nothing."

"You don't have to do this when there are no outsiders," Batman said in a soothing voice, "Wayne Manor rarely has outsiders coming in, so you can relax."

Although it is not difficult to maintain the disguise, it is of course more convenient to maintain the original appearance.Batman's thoughtfulness brought a smile to Erberist's face: "Okay." He said, and the sharp black horns grew from his forehead again, and the gold-like luster flashed in his pupils again.

"You already know where the entrance to the Batcave is." They walked downstairs, passed the study room, did not go in, and then came to the hall: "I hope you don't go out until you have adapted to life in the human world," Batman considered Trying to test the bottom line of Erberist: "If you do something you shouldn't do...it will cause me a lot of trouble. Of course, after a while, there will be no problem."

"Yes." Unexpectedly, Erberist agreed without hesitation, and the speed almost made Batman wonder if he had any conspiracy: "Do you have any questions?"

Erberist said, "Of course it's fine not to go out during the day, but at night I want to go on the night watch with you."

……I see.Batman didn't agree directly, just said, "I'll see."

As expected, Erberist frowned slightly: "But the meaning of my being here is to protect your safety," he said, "If you don't let me participate in your actions, your contract with me will be void. significance."

"Don't be so anxious," Batman said, "I'm going to take a break recently, and of course you can stay at home."

Erberist raised his eyebrows, accepting Batman's statement.

They sat down on the sofa in the living room, and Batman tried to ask some questions, and to his surprise, Erberist answered most of them.Regarding the source of his power and his abilities, Batman kept sorting out the information in his mind, keeping his face on the surface, and gently asking him if he needed tea.

Of course, Erberist understood the intention of Batman's questions. In fact, he didn't mind. He had already thought of this question when he signed the contract with Batman.For a human like Batman, part of the information acquisition can make him let go of his wariness against Erberist more quickly. Of course he is still wary of him now, but it doesn't matter.Oberist thought that as long as it took a while, after he saw that he had no ill intentions towards him, he would slowly accept him as he had accepted Superman.

——"Father." While they were talking, a call suddenly appeared at the door.

Erberist looked behind him, a child was coming in from outside.He looked very much like Batman when he was a child, almost carved out of the same mold, except for those green eyes.Batman's eyes are like two extremely beautiful sapphires, shining brightly, whether as Batman or the Prince of Gotham, they are beautiful and heart-stopping.

Apparently Damian had heard from the old housekeeper about a new member of the family when he came back, and he didn't look surprised when he saw Erberist, but he saw the sharp point on Erberist's forehead. His eyes still lit up a bit.

"Father, I'm back." Damian's eyes met Batman's for a moment, and then shifted to another person sitting on the sofa: "You are Erberist? Pennyworth said to me reminded you."

"Yes." Erberist stood up and held out his hand to Damian: "Nice to meet you, Damian."

They clasped their hands, then let go.Damian looked up at the horn on Erberister's forehead, folded his hands on his chest: "Pennyworth said you are a dragon, then," he closed his mouth for a moment, as if changing his tone into a more gentle and acceptable one. Human Acceptance: "...can I touch your horn?"

Batman looked sternly at Damian, then at Alfred standing in the doorway.

The old butler shrugged lightly: I have already told Master Damian what you need him to do, and, in my opinion, this request is very polite and there is nothing wrong with it.

Batman was only silent for a moment, then compromised with the old butler's apparent protection of his grandson, and observed Erberister's reaction by the way.He put his fingers on the universal belt calmly, and was quite thankful that he didn't take off the bat armor just in case.

Erberist did feel a little offended by this request, but since Damian is Batman's biological son, he graciously chose to tolerate it: "No, only the owner can touch my horn."

Batman said, "Damian, go do your homework."

Then he got up, and issued an invitation to Erberister: "Walking around the yard?"

……

After dinner, Batman asked Erberist to come to the Batcave to do some basic ability tests, in order to test the authenticity of his abilities that he had previously described to Batman.After an afternoon, Batman has discovered that Erberist is quite tolerant when he treats himself. Sometimes he deliberately said some unkind words, but Erberist just raised his eyebrows and pointed it out directly. , and no further action.

Regardless of the real purpose of this dark creature, at least, he is now pretending to be harmless in front of Batman.

After collecting the desired data, Batman took Erberist out of the Batcave: "This is your room, I said this afternoon."

Erberist asked: "Are you going to rest?" He obviously didn't believe it. From Batman's memory, this workaholic couldn't go to bed earlier than four o'clock in the morning: "I don't need sleep. If you have Whatever you need, let me do it."

"Thank you, but no need." Batman said, "I just need to sort out some information in the Batcave."

Some "about me" information, Erberist auto-completed what Batman didn't finish, so well, he thought, it's always inconvenient for him to do these things with himself: "Okay," he said. Nodded: "If you need it, please call me."

Batman nodded slightly in agreement, and after seeing Erberist close the door, he turned and went back to the Batcave.

When he went down, Nightwing had already arrived, and he was watching the surveillance on the Batcomputer with Damian in Robin's uniform: "Hey, Bruce." Nightwing greeted: "This new guy is so cute, you Aren't you going to let me get to know him earlier?"

"Tomorrow morning." Batman said in a deep voice: "During this time, you will replace me on night patrol. Before I figure out his purpose, I will suspend going out and switch to remote control."

"Of course," Nightwing shrugged. "Isn't that why you called me back from Bludhaven?"

"It's time, you go now." Batman looked at Damian: "Come back before twelve, you have to go to school tomorrow."

"Oh, father," Damian rolled his eyes, "I don't..."

"Whether it's going to school or sleeping, I believe you need it very much at this age, Master Damian." Alfred stopped his rebuttal with a friendly smile: "Go early and return early, I will wait for you in the Bat Cave .”

Damian rolled his eyes again, this time he didn't say anything, and quickly left with Ye Yi.

The sound of the motorcycle disappeared, and Batman called Zatanna while observing the monitor on the Batcomputer.

"Master?" Alfred asked in surprise, "I thought you weren't going to go out today."

"I want to figure out the meaning of the contract." Speaking of this, Batman's expression turned cold: "He signed the contract with me for no reason. I don't believe it is really as simple as he said."

"On this matter, my opinion may be slightly different from yours." Alfred also looked at the screen of the bat computer. The light was on in Erberister's room. After studying the decorations in the room, Alfred turned on those monitors in the afternoon in the name of preparing drinks for Erberist: "I think, in terms of behavior, this Erberest Mister is far simpler than you think."

"He 'simple' controlled Superman, defeated the entire Zhenglian, and—" Thinking of his hacked brain, Batman's face became even more gloomy.

"You know what we are talking about is not the same thing, sir." Alfred said: "I respect your opinion, but I also hope you can consider mine."

Batman didn't agree, and put on his bat hood to cover half of his face.The next moment, a teleportation circle appeared out of thin air in the Batcave, and Zatanna stood on the other side, tilting her head at Batman: "Let's go?"

Batman's cloak sank into the teleportation array, and the magic light disappeared.At this moment, Erberist, who had been doing nothing in the monitoring, suddenly raised his head, and his expression suddenly became sharp.

The next moment, he appeared in the Batcave.
