Volume 8: The Fourth Impact Chapter 27: Want to retire after seeing your son? You two are dreaming.
The next morning, Mason woke up again in the wonderful trouble of "hugging left and right". Although he did nothing, he still felt tired after chatting about vampires with Harley and Quinn for three hours.
He felt that life after three hours of rest every day was more tiring than his previous life without a break all day.
Probably all the girlfriends in this world are the same, always coming up with weird ideas of one kind or another, which puts a lot of pressure on the guys. What's more, the pair of cuties that Mason has are crazy players with wild imaginations. For example, if Mason and Quinn hadn't pulled her aside last night, Harley would have wanted to find a vampire to bite herself to experience the life of a real vampire.
Oh, I'm so tired.
Fortunately, everything that needs to be dealt with here is almost finished, and they will return to Osborne Tower early this morning.
According to Ms. Emilia, a grand banquet should be held to see off the captain and his team members, but right now the important matters are important, so these red tapes can be put aside for the time being.
"Wake up!"
After Mason tidied his clothes, he pulled the curtains open.
There wasn't much sunlight, and the castle where the vampires lived didn't need the annoying light, so Harley and Quinn just hummed twice and continued to sleep soundly in each other's arms.
The helpless captain could only casually shape two pieces of ice and throw them into the girlfriends' pajamas. The effect was outstanding. The next moment, the two crazy beauties jumped up, one grabbed Mason's head, and the other guy held his waist and threw him on the bed again.
Playing and fighting with the two little cuties always makes people happy. After playing for a while, the three of them changed their clothes and came to the teleportation hall, where everyone else was already waiting.
But it was completely different from the previous situation where Zha Kang was always listless. This time, the person who looked tired and yawned turned out to be Ertong.
The cold and serious Scarlet Knight looked like he had been under terrible torture. The dark circles under his sleepy eyes were almost invisible. At this moment, he was being whispered scolded by Barbara.
The nasty scumbag Kang came up to Mason and made obscene gestures, whispering:
"Seven times! Seven times in total. I listened to it the whole night. That vampire lady was really awesome. Our second barrel was also amazing. In the end, they succeeded in exorcising the demon."
"Is that the female vampire who looks like Thalia?"
Mason blinked and said:
"So, Ertong is going to have a family too?"
"No, that woman was very cool and unrestrained. She kicked Jason away after she was done. Otherwise, why does he look like a loser now?"
Zha Kang laughed like a fox who stole Zhiyin, and said in a mean way:
"She said something contradictory like vampires can't be with humans. Based on my understanding of women's minds, she must be upset that Ertong has someone else in his heart.
Until Talia's problem is resolved, she and Ertong can only maintain this weird relationship.
I was worried for most of the night, fearing that the vampire girl would take advantage of the opportunity when Ertong's soul flew away to bite him, but she never had that idea from beginning to end.
However, Batboy is a little strange today..."
"Um?"
Mason looked at Zha Kang, then glanced at the "master" who was talking to Superman and Wonder Woman next to him. He knew it was the Gray Bat, but how did Zha Kang feel it?
Was it some kind of black magic?
"I seriously suspect that Batboy has fallen in love with someone else ."
Zha Kang quickly gave his answer. He squinted his eyes and said:
"Today, Batboy kept getting closer to Diana. Although he acted as if he didn't care, I could sense that maybe old lady Catwoman couldn't attract Batboy.
Or maybe he saw with his own eyes that Batboy from another world successfully hooked up with Wonder Woman, so he wanted to give it a try...Huh? Selina! When did you come?"
"When you called me an unattractive old aunt."
Catwoman grabbed Zhakang's shoulder unhappily, and the vibranium cat claws on her battle suit had popped out. With just a little force, she could pierce Zhakang's shoulder and make him bleed.
"Are we leaving now?"
A righteous voice came from behind.
The Queen of Justice, wearing the armor of the Lord of Justice, strode over with her child in her arms. She glanced at the other Diana sharply, then looked at Batman suspiciously, and then turned her gaze to Mason.
She said:
"Hurry up! I can't stay there too long. I have to be back this afternoon. Besides, little Bruce needs to be fed in thirty minutes. I don't want my child to be crying for food in a strange world ."
"Okay, let's go now."
Mason waved goodbye to the two Lords of Justice and Lady Emilia behind him, and winked at Little Flash who was sharing pizza with White Wally beside him.
A few seconds later, the speed force channel leading to Osborne Tower was opened, and the group stepped into it and disappeared.
"Bruce."
Lord Chao watched his wife and son leave, then he turned to Gray Bat and said:
"We need to talk."
"Um."
The master disguised as a gray bat nodded, and spoke in a perfect voice like his own space-time alter ego:
"Let's go back to the Hall of Justice first. Since the situation has changed, we need to inform the other lords of this. Although the war is over, a more serious situation is imminent.
The equipment and agreed-upon procedures must be reconfirmed.”
"I mean the project you're in charge of."
The lord said in a deep voice:
" Keep it in a ready-to-activate state, so that if Mason's plan goes wrong, we won't be left with no options."
"It's already activated."
Gray Bat followed behind Lord Chao and said softly:
"It was activated last night. It's good to trust our allies, but our fate is ultimately in our own hands."
"very good!"
The lord nodded with great satisfaction and said:
"I know you'll never let me down."
"But you have to take Damian and Little Joe's problems seriously, Clark."
Gray Bat reminds:
"Although this exchange ritual is only temporary, I think this is an opportunity. Regarding your obsession with Louise... I know this question will anger you.
But you can't close your mind forever. When you can't hear the outside world, you will be lost.
Take a day off and take Xiao Qiao to visit our world. He is also your child, even though he was born in another world. "
The Lord was silent for a moment.
Finally, he nodded and said:
"After the meeting of the Lords of Justice is over, I will take half a day to complete this task. I will protect them and will not let those two children suffer any threats in our world."
…
"Shua"
Mason and his party appeared in the large lounge on the top floor of Osborne Tower.
This was not the first time that Bai Wally came here, but the other members of the Lightning Family who followed him were all very curious about this new world.
Especially when they saw the wasteland outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the younger Black Wally and Little Iris both exclaimed, and the seriousness in Jesse Quick and Mercury's eyes showed that they realized what had happened in this world.
"Barry, take your new friends on a tour of our worlds."
Mason said to Little Flash:
"Let's be good hosts and share the delicious food. Meet at the Cosmic Treadmill Laboratory at 8 o'clock tonight. We are going to conduct the first full-power operation test of the Speed Force Matrix.
And the discussion on the treatment of Reverse Flash.
That guy has been locked up for too long, it’s time to deal with this.”
"no problem!"
Barry made an OK gesture, patted White Wally on the shoulder, and made a gesture of running a race. Now the whole Flash family became excited.
As Harley, the guest referee, cheered and gave an order, six speedsters started running at the same time. The shock of the speed force shook the entire lounge and even the entire tower.
"Bang"
Before Mason could arrange what to do next, the door of the lounge was kicked open.
As everyone watched, Martha Wayne, wearing a clown suit and holding a pearl revolver, rushed in. The old lady with colorfully dyed hair stared at Mason viciously and screamed:
"You left my lovely grandson in another world! Asshole! Damian is so cute and fragile, what if he gets hurt?
There were plenty of horrible assholes out there who wanted to hurt him.
Mason Cooper!
Bring back my little grandson!
immediately!"
"Here, here you go."
Facing the questioning of the clown grandmother who was so angry that she came to the door with a gun because her beloved grandson was taken away, Mason pointed to the frightened crying baby in the arms of the Queen of Justice who had already drawn her sword, and said to Martha:
“Your little grandson, the descendant of Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince, the son of a demigod with Amazonian blood, the chosen one born in the Lord’s World.
Damian Wayne's altered version of time.
He was born just three days ago.
Considering that his mother is an invincible female warrior who doesn't know how to breastfeed, poor little Bruce now needs a grandmother with rich experience in raising children to help him adapt to his new life...
Aren't you always angry that Damian was corrupted by Lei Xiaogu?
Now you have a new opportunity to watch your little grandson grow from an infant to the perfect heir that you and Thomas wanted."
"Bang"
Grandma Martha's expression changed. She looked at the child in confusion, but the next moment she immediately threw the gun in her hand into the trash can next to her.
While taking out a handkerchief to wipe his fingers, he changed the smile on his face from anger to joy and kindness.
She didn't doubt Mason's words.
She knew that Mason would not and did not have the courage to deceive her, his senior, about such a matter.
"Ah, my little Bruce, look at him crying in his mother's arms, it reminds me of how I looked when I gave birth to Bruce, small and cute."
Grandma Martha was filled with maternal love and wanted to hug her little grandson, but before she could get close, the Queen of Justice waved her sword and forced her back.
The angry mother yelled at Mason:
"Are you crazy? Looking for a clown to be my child's wet nurse? I thought you were a wise and kind man, Mason! This joke is not funny!"
"No, no, no, Martha never jokes about anything related to the Wayne family."
As Mason explained, he secretly watched the changes in the expression of the "master" next to him. As he expected, the gray bat disguised as the master became stunned when he saw Martha.
In fact, Mason and Selina both suspected last night that one of the reasons why Gray Bat wanted to exchange identities with the Master might be to see Martha and Thomas again.
There was no way the master didn't know this, but he didn't point it out.
Obviously, after he got his lost parents back, he also wanted to let the Batman in other worlds who had lacked love since childhood feel the warmth from his parents.
"Leave it to her, Diana."
Seeing that the Queen of Justice was about to lose her temper, the master immediately said:
“She’s trustworthy!”
"Um?"
The Queen of Justice didn't know that the Gray Bat and the Master had swapped identities, but out of trust in Batman, she looked around, and after seeing the other Diana nodding at her, she hesitated and retracted the blade.
The crying child in her arms was handed to Martha, who was somewhat at a loss, and the clown grandmother held him as if she was holding the most beautiful gift in the world.
She looked at the baby in her arms lovingly, rocking his body and humming a gentle lullaby. The child seemed to feel the reassuring breath and soon stopped crying.
"He likes me, and he likes his grandma."
Martha was so happy that she almost cried.
At that moment, the little baby replaced Damian's place in her heart.
Tsk, Damian, who has already gone astray, is most likely beyond help, and there is no need for her to go to great lengths to try to bring that little lunatic back on track. The little Bruce in front of her has infinite possibilities for the future, and this is the best ending that the clown grandma can get.
"He's hungry, Barbara, Harley, come and help."
Martha shouted, calling her assistant and instructing Mason to quickly make a cradle or something for her grandson. Thomas, who got the news, also rushed over quickly.
When this silent and gloomy man in a suit walked into the lounge, the gray bat's body in the crowd shook again.
When he looked at the image of Thomas and Martha holding their son, he finally understood why his other self said that he had found the reason and opportunity to give up the identity of Batman.
Which Bruce Wayne can withstand such a tear-jerking scene?
This is something that only happens in bat paradise.
"Hey, hold on!"
Selina's lazy voice sounded beside the gray bat, whispering:
"If you keep shaking like this, you'll be exposed. Both Dianas are watching you. Don't I have to say that your ability to disguise is too poor, right?"
"Ahem"
Gray Bat immediately pinched himself to restore himself to the aloof attitude that a master should have.
He knew Catwoman had blown his disguise, but he wasn't surprised.
After all, she has been sleeping with another Batman for more than ten years. If she can't even notice this, it can only be said that there is a terrible problem in Catwoman and Batman's love.
With Selina taking his arm to shield him, he quickly left the lounge and was planning to find a place to calm down. However, as soon as he turned the corner, he saw Thomas Wayne, who had been in the lounge just now, standing in front of him.
"Who are you?"
The old man put his hands in his pockets.
Not surprisingly, there was a loaded gun hidden there. At this distance, even if Thomas was Superman or Speedster, he would never miss.
He said coldly:
"Mason seems to have brought back a ghost who looks like Bruce Wayne from another world, but you are different from him. You are more patient and silent, more like a dark incarnation dedicated to a certain order.
But I don't think your disguise can fool Mason. He is the most powerful Robin, so I guess all this is done with his tacit consent?
Aren't you going to say something to me?"
The gray bat was silent for a while, then reached out and took off his bat mask. His eyes, which were heavier and more tired than the master's, looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him.
His lips moved as if he was trying to hold back some emotion that had been suppressed for many years.
After a few seconds, he said in a hoarse voice:
"Father, I miss you so much..."
This sentence made the old man break down immediately.
Just like when he first traveled to another world and saw Batman, he thought he had adapted to this kind of meeting between father and son in another world, but it turned out that he would never be able to adapt to this kind of thing.
"I missed you too, kid."
The old man let go of the gun, walked forward and patted Gray Bat on the shoulder.
He said:
"You're home, we're all home. Martha will be very happy, she has a second child... Well, I also plan to take Martha to those garden worlds, and maybe a little relaxation will help her recovered but still unstable spirit.
But now it seems that Mason has no intention of leaving us idle.
That little bastard has a hold on our weak spot.
The entire Bat-Family was at his mercy, even the Batmans from other worlds.
I've always known that he did the wrong thing to everyone he might meet, and I now understand that Martha and I were his 'anti-Batman tactics'.
The kind that works every time.
Alas, what a cunning yet hard-to-hate bastard. "
