Batman:
Barbara: "…"
Tim himself: "…"
Forget it, let's end this topic; it's too unlucky to talk about.
Finally, Batman drove Theodore back to Wayne Manor.
Before getting out of the car, Theodore reached out and gently took hold of Batman's cape.
"Thank you for your care tonight, Mr. Batman. May I be so bold as to ask for your contact information? Perhaps… perhaps it will be useful later."
Batman noticed that after returning to Wayne Manor, Theodore's deanor was significantly more restrained than when he was on the street.
He took a button from his utility belt and handed it to Theodore. "When you feel you need it, press this."
Theodore took the button but still didn't release his grip on Batman's cape.
He had just verified it with a wig: for so unknown reason—perhaps because even the boss's child, no matter how mischievous, couldn't be directly picked up and beaten—Batman had a high tolerance for him.
Since that was the case, why wait to take advantage of the situation and push his luck?
Moreover, Theodore had always intended to seize every opportunity to improve his relationship with Batman.
Theodore's voice was soft and endearing. In the boy's clear blue eyes, his expression was a little bewildered, and on his face, like a Greek statue of a beautiful youth, was an abundance of terrified innocence.
He seed to be talking to himself, yet also asking Batman for advice. "How should I explain this to Mr. Wayne when I go back?"
"I'm not familiar with Mr. Wayne's temper. If he finds out I secretly left, I'm afraid Mr. Wayne will be angry."
Batman: "…"
Watching Theodore's vivid performance, Batman was montarily speechless. Because he found that Robin's "déjà vu" was not without reason.
No wonder Tim had repeatedly mistaken Theodore for Joker, Superman, and Riddler before.
How could Theodore's current feigned innocence be so similar to Harley Quinn's expression every ti she flirted with Nightwing!
Batman: "!!!"
Theodore lifted his eyes, pleading like a puppy: "…Please, Mr. Batman?"
—It was even more similar.
Harley would always show the exact sa innocent expression after swinging her hamr to kill soone.
Batman, with his iron will, stopped his hand from subconsciously reaching for a Batarang.
He said dryly: "Bruce Wayne won't be angry."
Theodore's eyes widened: "Batman, just because you think Wayne is a good-for-nothing, you can't assu he has no temper!"
Batman, who thought Bruce was a good-for-nothing, the real Wayne: "…"
Batman was speechless.
In the communication channel, Robin started laughing happily again.
Bruce would bet on not skipping work for the next week that Tim had recorded the conversation word for word.
Batman's hand twitched, eager to pull out a Batarang on the spot. And he actually did.
Batman selected a non-electric Batarang from his personal supply and handed it to Theodore.
"If Wayne asks, just show him this."
Theodore's eyes lit up, and he eagerly took the Batarang into his hand. "Can I tell Mr. Wayne that you took out?"
"…You can."
Anyway, Bruce Wayne won't say anything. No matter how much you make up, that good-for-nothing will believe it and accept it all.
Since returning to Wayne Manor, Theodore finally showed his first genuine smile.
He carefully wiped the sharp edge of the Batarang with his thumb and said cheerfully, "Thank you, I will definitely keep it safe and carry it with ."
Even when sleeping, he would keep the Batarang under his pillow! If Bruce Wayne dared to ambush him in the middle of the night, Theodore would use this to cut open his artery.
This was much more effective than a knife.
Not only because of the Batarang's sharpness, but also because of the aning it represented.
Theodore knew that Batman didn't kill people.
But if the weapon used to kill Wayne was a Batarang, Batman wouldn't want to be dragged into it, would he?
Theodore ant, was there even a slight possibility that after he killed soone with a Batarang, Batman would be willing to help Theodore fake Bruce Wayne's death scene?
Although the possibility was slim, just imagining it made him incredibly excited! Theodore finally released his fingers from Batman's cape.
He looked up, directly at the two white patches on the helt that represented eyes, and said sincerely and from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you, Mr. Batman, it was truly a pleasure talking to you!"
Batman: He could tell that Theodore was genuinely praising Batman. But even so, it was…
Theodore didn't notice Batman's unusual reaction after hearing his praise. If it weren't for the Dark Knight's imposing presence, he would have even wanted to clasp his hands together and shake the other's hand.
"You are truly a conversationalist; I've never t anyone who speaks as well as you, every word goes straight to the heart." —Especially the comnts about Bruce Wayne, they were truly good insults!
For a mont, the communication channel was silent, not a sound.
Robin and Oracle fell into a long silence.
The conversational Batman looked at Theodore, as if he wanted to say sothing. But in the end, Batman simply closed his mouth firmly.
In the earpiece, Oracle's voice trembled as she broke the silence.
"B, can you poke him with a Batarang? I suspect this poor child has been impersonated by Clayface."
Robin imdiately denied it: "He can't be Clayface, Clayface wouldn't say sothing like that!"
