I'm the villain in Gotham

When Batman and Erberist returned to Gotham, everything fell into place.

Batman continues his night watch, as if the hero who popped up in Gotham just took a few days off to give himself a little vacation.But, soon, all the criminals and police officers in Gotham found that he was not the same as before.

As far as the police are concerned, his actions have become more efficient and his control over all aspects has become more precise.But for criminals?Man, that was a nightmare, literally.

He is elusive, like a bat shadow lurking in the dark. One second you just took out a knife or pistol/gun, and the next second he can appear in front of you, kicking and breaking your arm or thigh.In addition, he will tie up the evidence of your crime with you and throw it at the gate of the police station, so that the gangsters who plan to escape the judicial process through small tricks afterwards will have no way to start.If there were people who doubted that Batman was an ordinary human in a Bat costume before, no one thinks so now.He's a monster like Erberist, absolutely.

For the criminals, the only comfort may be that Bruce Wayne, a wealthy man who has just been in charge of the Wayne family for a few years, has set up a hospital for fractured patients because too many people have gone to the hospital to see fractures recently. fund.This allows them to get better treatment in prison, at least to ensure that prisoners after serving their sentences will not be disabled.

Regarding the night watch, Batman has asked Erberist for his opinion.Now that his cooperation with Sabatino has broken down, and Batman has the memory of the previous timeline, in fact, now he can return to Batman and be his assistant.

Batman still remembers that there was a time when Urberist wanted more than anything to be by his side at all times, to keep him safe.

Erberist thought for a while, then refused: "Sorry, master, I still..."

Batman sighed, not too surprised by his choice: "You still think Gotham needs a villain? In fact, she already has one."

"But they are insignificant compared to me. Yes, I want to be your enemy." Erberist smiled slightly: "The image I have created in Gotham for so many years is no longer suitable to return to you. Putting you under the suspicion of the public and the police."

"However," he mused, "I think I can help you in the dark, like I used to." Gotham doesn't need Erberist all the time, but she needs Batman all the time.When Urberister doesn't have to be upright in everyone's eyes, he can come to Batman's favor, as before, as his shadow.

Batman said in a low voice: "I hope you can stand by my side."

Erberist smiled at him: "I'm already by your side, master."

Since Batman is asking for his opinion, of course he will not force Erberist to do something. In fact, after carefully thinking about the mistakes he made in the past, except for some special aspects, he no longer intends to do anything. Use an imperative tone with Erberist.

He knew that Erberist regarded himself as his servant, and Batman gradually understood Erberist's thoughts.Although he still disagrees, he is not ready to change him as hard as before.That would just make him miserable, and that's the last thing Batman wanted right now.

But even though he had given up on the concept of "they are equal" to Öberist, he still wanted to make his image in front of Öberister a little more easy-going. He wanted Öberister to realize that he Someone to talk to, a friend to chat and joke with, and...a lover to hug and kiss.And all the changes he wants to see, I'm afraid he has to start with changing the name he calls: "Eberrist, do you still remember that you are actually my teacher and friend?"

Erberister was taken aback, and blushes immediately climbed to his ears: "But, actually, I think... I don't think I've helped you much. A lot of your knowledge comes from the previous timeline, I just Did some trivial things."

"Don't belittle yourself, you've been doing great. And like I told you before," Batman gave him a helpless look, "I wish you called my name, at least when I wasn't on the night watch? "

Erberist hesitated for a moment, then said softly, with a somewhat uncertain voice, "...Bruce?"

"That's it." Batman nodded in satisfaction, and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't change it back."

In addition to conducting Gotham's daily night patrol, Batman also took over the follow-up issues of those cultists.As soon as he heard that he had returned from the Sandman's territory, Zatanna gave him all the questions, and happily went to her magic tour.

Zatanna was not good at these things in the first place, and she felt a little guilty for letting her do Batman for him for so long.In addition, he doesn't want to hand these things over to others. After regaining the memories of the previous timeline, Batman's already very serious desire to control has once again deepened. Only through his hands.

While Batman was off to deal with the cult/cult problem, Erberist had other things to attend to himself.Night Crow has disappeared in front of Chaoying for too long, and now he finally has the energy to maintain this vest again, even if there is nothing he needs to do recently, he has to report his friends to be safe.

Before leaving, Erberist connected the Batman suit, which can record a series of physiological data such as his blood pressure and heartbeat, and will immediately call the police and send the current location monitor when a certain value exceeds the warning line. , took it out of his own space, and handed it to Batman.

"No." Unexpectedly, Batman didn't reach out to take it: "I hope you can continue to carry it."

He met Erberist's gaze. "I trust you to keep me safe."

Erberist paused.

After a while, the corners of his eyes started to turn red.It seems that since Batman retrieved the memory of the previous timeline, the blush on the corners of his eyes has not faded.This is not like him, originally he didn't have such abundant emotions, but...

Everything Batman did was beyond his expectations.

He didn't guard him again like a prisoner, and he didn't reprimand and defend him for the outrageous things he did before.Instead of cold shoulders, guards, and suspicions, Erberist received hugs, apologies, and promises.

All of this is much better than what he imagined Batman would do to him after he got his memory.

Originally, Erberist could no longer believe Batman's positive response to him, but after going through all this in a short period of time, Xie Yi slowly revealed a tender heart from the tightly closed heart. Little Spiky, nervous, and cautiously touched the kindness released by Batman.

He was dubious, wondering if he could trust him.But... everything in front of him is so beautiful that Erberist can't help but want to get close and hug him.

Batman seemed to have sensed something from his expression. He was about to go to the mothership of S.H.I.E.L.D. with a serious aura, but now he relaxed again.He took off the bat hood on his face, and showed Eberrist a soothing expression for him: "Don't think too much." He said: "Just feel it slowly, as your own feel go."

"I..." Erberist opened his mouth, finally gave up, changed the subject, and said in a low voice, "I may, it will take a while."

"It's okay," Batman smiled very quickly: "I promise you, I will always wait."

……

The skies are fine today in Westchester County.

The sky is blue, the white clouds are slowly drifting, the sun is neither too hot nor too cold, in short, it is a weather suitable for doing almost anything.

In such a fine weather, Professor X is sitting at his spacious principal's desk, writing to make plans and arrangements for the learning content of the students in the next school year.Due to his good reputation in the world of ordinary people in the early years and the efforts of Night Crow, most of the rescued mutant children will be sent to his school to study and learn to use their abilities.There are even families that are in good shape and are happy to accommodate families with a mutant child, and would love for their child to come here.

This has led to a substantial increase in the number of students at the Xavier Academy for Geniuses every year, and thanks to the mutants' various abilities and personalities, the work of making study plans has become more and more daunting.Fortunately, Professor X did not have image problems, but he was also troubled by this matter, and always felt that he should find a few more people to help him.

Of course, this was not the only thing that worried him.On top of that, he's been worrying about the safety of an old friend.

It has been a long time since the last time Yecrow came to X Academy to report his safety. Logically speaking, Professor X should be relieved to see him appearing safely in front of him, but then the news brought by Batman made his heart ache. Worry arose.

Although Batman didn't say much that time, it was obvious that he had already caused harm to Night Crow. Even after he found out that Night Crow and Erberist were the same person, the damage was unavoidable. I know how the night crow is doing now.

Thinking of this, even though Professor X has gone through many storms and has always been peaceful, as if he was always calm and unhurried, he couldn't help frowning at this moment, with a sad line carved between his brows.

At this time, a slightly smiling voice appeared in front of him: "Good afternoon, Professor, the weather is really nice today."

The friend he was talking about appeared in front of him at this moment, and said with a smile, "You don't seem to be in a good mood. Could it be that another student has made you angry?"
