Chapter 31 The Tangle of Dual Identity
If, I mean if, how would you get over this situation?
Dad, teacher, go to the Gotham Entertainment News, do you believe this too?
Jack turned the wheelchair and walked over: "You spent too much time with Bruce, I know I can't be with you like him now, but I'm trying to adapt..."
I was a little uncomfortable with my father's apology. Mr. Drake was always so stubborn and cold. When I was very young, I still remember him holding me and showing a smug smile, but later he was completely out of my life. disappeared.
"Dad, I just want to be alone."
"Why do you keep leaving the house? Are you in trouble?"
I was so uncomfortable that I wanted to run away, but when I saw the white hair on my father's sideburns, I suppressed my emotions and squatted down.
"Tim, tell me something."
what can i sayHow dare I say it?
The silence between us hurt both him and me.
But even so, how can I tell him my troubles-does your son dress up in strange clothes at night to vandalize public property and beat criminals?
----------------
"Tim, are you in a bad mood?" Dick started to call his brother as usual again. Seriously, the current Robin is a child who is very happy to chat with him. For Dick, the evening call time is his One of those rare treats.
"Dick, how did you hide your secret identity before?" I immediately regretted it when I asked it. Dick has no parents, and of course Bruce will keep it a secret for him.
I then switched to another question: "Did Bruce's ex-girlfriend have a Huntress?"
Ye Yi was still thinking about how to persuade his younger brother to keep a low profile and hide his identity, when he heard a piece of news that shocked his pupils: "How could the huntress be Bruce's ex-girlfriend!?"
"Isn't it?"
"She's my girlfriend!"
"But the question is isn't your girlfriend Barbara?" I was taken aback by Dick's suddenly loud voice.
"No..." The voice on the other side started to quiet down, I think I heard his guilty conscience.
"Could it be the tarantula girl?"
"No, it's Xinghuo! Why do you have so many weird ideas!"
Am I weird?Obviously it's you!How do I know which one is having an affair with you, which one is having an affair with Bruce, and which one is having an affair with both of you, among the female criminals in Gotham and the female Super Miles?
……
I hung up the phone and sighed deeply, how am I supposed to fool my teacher?
----------------
In the evening, I went to meet with the appointed huntress again. This lady found out a lot of things, and she had sorted out the context of the Russian gang.
"What about you? Did you find anything in that paper?"
"It's nothing."
The huntress was very surprised: "I don't quite believe it, are you detained for the teacher?"
"Don't mess with me!" The Huntress' words reminded me of a series of things that irritated me, and I turned my head angrily.
"Why are you so angry, I'm going to tell the Batman Minions Club how rude you are."
……
Later, I followed the huntress with a long stick in the gang that had already been investigated, and I thought I could rescue the girl.
Ariana is like a thorn in my heart, I can't stand this girl leaving me like my mother.
But I still haven't gotten any news about the store manager's daughter, except for cleaning up another group of guys who are new to Gotham that I don't know at all.
Seeing my expression, the huntress seemed a bit unbearable, she sighed: "Even Batman is often beyond his power..."
I know, just watching her life disappear before my eyes, but I can't do anything.
----------------
I skipped class.
What did you say?I'm super obedient and super mature?
No, I can't hear you.
I spent some time in the Batcave, and Alfred gave Alfred a disapproving look after knowing that I didn't have class today.
Then I went home and broke up with my father again.
Dual identities brought me not only happiness, but also torture. This kind of torture is not like the physical pain I experienced before, nor is it such a profound spiritual collapse, but it is precisely this kind of torture. The unresolvable contradictions are so real and hard to let go.
I stand on the tower of the city, I can't tell others, I can't tell my father that I went to be a vigilante behind his back, and I can't tell Batman that I acted behind his back, even Ariana's death is Because I was slow and inexperienced...
No, I can go find the Huntress, I can bring to justice the gang that hurt her father and her.
So when a woman in a mask and cape swings a rope back to her apartment, she is startled by a figure sitting on her sofa.
"Who are you!"
I turned on the light.
"Robin? How did you find me? Nightwing... no, he won't tell you who I am or where I live."
"You want to ask me, how on earth do I know you're Helena Bettinelli?" I finally laughed, and the teenage pride returned to me.
"It's not difficult at all. Last time we chatted, you said that you know the East End very well, and you live here. You are used to using some Italian when you speak. You and I have lamented the death of both parents, and you have considerable financial resources. The thing about you being rich is because of that Ferrari you drive."
I summed up the clues left by this lady one by one. To be honest, when I did this kind of thing, my heart relaxed a little, which reminded me of...
"You said yourself that you just returned to Gotham. I read the newspaper. 7 years ago, there was a massacre by the Bettinelli Mafia, leaving a survivor and a large fortune."
"It all points to this lady with the Italian accent, Helena Giannis Bettinelli, the English teacher at Whitman High? Just back from vacation?"
…Helena was stunned at first, and then laughed again: "It feels like you are stronger than your predecessor! I guess you also know who Batman is."
"How do you think I got my uniform?"
After I exposed Helena's identity, I took out the paper again: "This is a special paper ticket made in Germany. The German paper mill has the experience of printing Deutsche marks. There are polymers in this paper. It is also a piece of paper that can be used to make banknotes."
"But it's not dollars, it's not Marks, it's not even renminbi?"
"……EUR."
"Euros?" Helena repeated after me.
"What is the Euro? The currency of the European Union?"
"Maybe it's two years from now, but they've made it before." I have a feeling that this group of people must have taken the lot they got from a German paper mill just to make Euros.
They were the biggest production gang, and indeed the profits were so luscious that they killed the print shop owner and his daughter.
A scam needs to be complemented by a stable economy. If money is printed like crazy in Zimbabwe, it will only cause economic collapse. They did not make dollars, but euros. In the early days of the euro's issuance, it is very likely to give the EU's economy cause great instability.
I guess I'll have to go find the source of this paper.
"Don't go!" the English teacher at Whitman High School called me, "Do you still have to go to school?"
I just want to skip class now.
I know I'm using Robin to avoid responsibility for Tim Drake, but let me indulge, I need to avenge Ariana.
The huntress followed me. The woman didn't ask me how Dick was. Instead, she was very curious about Batman: "What does he look like?"
"I won't tell you his real identity."
"I didn't want to know, but is he handsome?"
I avoid talking about it.
Went back to where the paper was found, and there I found it - the KGB Beast.
----------------
"Tibao, why are you wearing sunglasses?"
Miraculously, I made it to school on time the next morning. Fred didn't ask me why I was absent, but someone would.
Just like Hudson.
"I had an accident at the ballpark yesterday."
"...Your face was hurt again?"
Now I really want to ask Dick, Barbara, how did they handle their identities as child labor vigilantes and students?
I was called to the dean's office again, and this kind female teacher said to me: "I don't know why you have become like this, Tim, you used to be the best student here, you have always It is our pride, but you see that you have learned to play truant now, but I don’t know, besides playing truant, what else have you done to scar yourself.”
"……I……"
"You are a student now, what you should do is to study hard, don't play with firecrackers, your father is very worried about you."
"I see."
"Maybe I'm overthinking, Tim, you know it's been a long time since you smiled?"
Have it……?
When I returned home with my schoolbag on my back, my father was waiting for me at the door. He looked at the bruises on my eye sockets and didn't mention this: "Tim, maybe I can ignore your injuries... I took a step back, I know, I was wrong, I shouldn't have sent you to Gotham Academy in the first place."
"Father?"
"I put you in touch with a boarding school in the Metropolis, and I think you might become a little more normal under the sun there."
"Dad! No!"
----------------
"Have you entered puberty yet, Master Tim?" Alfred didn't really want to pass the coffee in his hand to the boy sitting in front of the computer.
"Ah Fu, a girl was murdered and I need to find the murderer."
"What's more important is that your father wants to send Master Tim to boarding school?"
……
"Master Jack talked to me on the phone." Alfred added his answer, he sighed, and put the coffee cup on the coffee table.
"It's not fair to both of you if you don't tell Master Bruce like this. Last time, Master Richard and Master Jason, no, you need to be honest."
"But I can't, how should I explain?"
"I've been at Wayne's house for more than 40 years," Alfred wiped the coffee pot. "I assure you, the things Batman experienced when he was born were more complicated. Let's talk to the master."
"... Next time definitely."
The author has something to say:
Now Connor is going to school and trying to get along with the Kents, Bart is studying with Barry, Tim is dealing with his identity, and in another chapter Connor and Tim meet, I have to deal with Tim's identity first.
Most Gotham Superheroes have both parents dead, so you won't be sent to a boys' boarding school because your parents are dead.
Damian: So I was literally sent there.
Tim: Even then I don't want Jack...
----------------
Here is a continuation of yesterday's joke.
Dick: Connor, tell me which pair do you support?
Connor: Chao Lai, isn’t there me?And the heroine and Louise are also giving sugar... Tim, Jason, what are your expressions?
--Beep--
Connor: All right, super bat, no, super bat.To be honest, Chao Lai has me...
--Beep--
Connor: Does it hurt when Tim hits his fist?You have to fight with a kryptonite ring, watch your hands...
----------------
Dick, Jason: Shake Connor first!
Rice: My 40-meter kryptonite spear is already ready!Hey kryptonite!Let go of Drake!Clone!
