Chapitre 4: Chapter 2
Knowing that her father might be Bruce Wayne didn't bring much change to Mia's life.
She still had to get up early to go to school, and she was still limited to one stick of ice cream every day - to be honest, she really hated this. She thought that after becoming the daughter of the richest man, she could have unlimited ice cream and desserts, but In fact, when she looked at Bruce with pleading eyes, he just shrugged helplessly at her and told her that Aunt Chloe had just sent him a message saying that she had used up her share of ice cream today.
"But you are my dad, you should have the right to break this rule." Mia yelled at him, sitting on the swing and looking at the ice cream truck not far away.
According to her original idea, she should stand there and order a double-ball ice cream with chocolate and strawberry, or go to a convenience store not far away to get a new flavor of popsicle... Anyway, it is definitely not the case. Sitting here watching helplessly.
"But it's a pity that I also agree with this rule," Bruce said. He took out a candy from his pocket that he didn't know when he put it in and handed it to Mia. "So now I can know why you followed me. ?" he continued to ask.
The first time after leaving Chloe's house, he noticed the little tail secretly following behind him. It was Mia. She was standing not far from him. When she saw him turning around, she would turn her head and pretend to be herself. Looks like nothing is being done.
This made Bruce feel a little funny, but at the same time, he was also a little confused. Although he and Mia did get along pretty well these few times, it was far from the point where she would chase him out because she was reluctant to leave. Baby Brucie's charm was not so great that she could charm him. For a nine-year-old girl, he was more inclined to think that she had something to do with him than this.
So he stopped and wanted to ask her what happened, was it because of school? Or is it because of friends? For a nine-year-old, this was a large part of her life.
But what he didn't expect was that the first thing Mia said after hearing his question was to ask him if he was her father.
There was a little hesitation in her voice when she said that. Even if it had been several days since she knew about it, she would still find it strange. It was like a person you thought had been dead for many years suddenly appeared in front of you and told you that not only was he not dead, but Still alive and well - after meeting Bruce, she simply paid attention to some news about him. Words such as charity dinners, supermodels, and extreme sports frequently appeared with Bruce, and it seemed like something was fixed. The matching is the same.
But thinking about what she'd heard from Aunt Chloe, even though it was overheard, didn't change the fact that he was probably her dad.
What's more, my mother said before that one cannot be nice to another person for no reason. Just like if someone suddenly gives you a gift, he is most likely planning something and wants to use the gift to fight you first. Good relationship.
So she just stared at Bruce seriously, if he was really her dad then those gifts weren't for no reason.
"So are you really my dad?" Mia repeated the question.
This made Bruce stunned. He didn't know where she heard about this, and he wasn't sure whether he should just admit it.
In his and Chloe's plan, he would spend some time with Mia first, and then tell her the whole story bit by bit after she fully accepted him.
But in Mia's firm and somewhat expectant eyes, Bruce was still defeated. He sighed, nodded, and said, "Yes, I am indeed your father, but..." He wanted to do it for himself. What can be explained about his behavior over the years? For example, he didn't know her existence before this. In fact, he did not know about Mia's existence until two months ago. At that time, Ah Fu found a message in the mailbox. A letter from Texas, written by Chloe.
Because she didn't have Bruce's or the manor's number, and she was worried that he wouldn't read emails or private messages at all. To be honest, she doubted whether it was Bruce himself who ran that social account. After all, the comments there seemed too normal. , they were basically publicity activities, so she chose the most traditional way, writing letters.
The letter detailed what she had found among her sister's belongings and some of her conjectures, and also included photos and hair of Mia so they could conduct a paternity test.
Bruce didn't take this seriously at first. After all, as a famous playboy and wealthy man, a large number of people would come to his door every year and say that they were his children or that she had his children. He already has a fixed response process for these.
But the things mentioned in the letter did match up with what he remembered (although Brucie often couldn't remember the names of his female companions, but as Batman, he even had a copy of the names of the girls he had dated. list), and Mia's mother did exist in that list, so after confirming that the letter was sent not more than two weeks later, he checked it with the Batcave equipment and found that she was indeed his child. .
So this also raised a very tangled question, that is, whether he should bring her back to Wayne Manor.
After all, as his daughter, it is normal for her to live with her father. It's just that they weren't sure whether she could accept this, telling a child that the strange man in front of her was her father, and that she was about to leave her home, and her family would go to another strange city to start a new life. It's really a bit too cruel to go up there.
What's more, given the situation in Gotham, he didn't want her to return here. That would be too dangerous for her.
But before he could figure out how to explain to her, Mia cheered excitedly. On the one hand, it was because she was right, he was her father, and on the other hand, it was because if he really was her father If so, then she can confidently ask him to buy her ice cream. She has long wanted to try that new flavor.
But it's a pity that Mia didn't get the ice cream, so she could only take the candy with her lips pursed. "I'm not following," she retorted, "I just want to ask you some questions!" "
What questions?" Bruce asked .
"Do I have to leave Texas?" Mia said. She peeled off the candy wrapper and put the candy into her mouth. The sweet and sour taste slightly made up for her resentment for not eating ice cream. "Since you are my dad If so, then I have to live with you, and you live in Gotham and Aunt Chloe is in Texas, so isn't it normal for me to leave Texas?" "
Then do you want to leave?" Bruce didn't Answering the question directly, he tossed it back to Mia.
"Of course I don't want to leave!" Mia replied decisively. She turned her head and looked at Bruce, "I don't want to be separated from Aunt Chloe, nor do I want to be separated from my friends..." She shouted loudly, but when she said Halfway through, the sound began to slowly fade away again.
Of course she knew this was impossible, Aunt Chloe was just her aunt, she couldn't stay in her house all her life, and that was why she sneaked out to tell Bruce without telling her. She didn't want it to bother her.
But similarly, she didn't want to leave a familiar place or a familiar person again. It would be too difficult for her, and she had never been a person who could adapt to new environments quickly.
"I'm sorry, Mia," Bruce interrupted Mia before she could finish her words. He half-crouched in front of her and looked at her apologetically, "I should have considered your feelings. of..."
From the beginning, no one considered Mia's thoughts. They just subconsciously thought that she would not accept him as her father, and they never thought about whether she was willing to leave him. In their view, the child followed them. Being around parents is a natural and natural thing.
Even if he thought about letting Mia stay in Texas, it was entirely out of his own considerations. No one ever asked Mia if she wanted to leave.
"You're not leaving Texas, and you're not leaving your family and friends," Bruce continued.
"Then will you come to see me again?" Mia asked, she was worried that because of this he would not show up again, just like before.
But Bruce just rubbed her head and told her he would come.
After that, Mia was completely relieved. She continued to go to school obediently, do homework,
and play with Mi Xi and the others. When Aunt Chloe teased her with Bruce, she and Bruce agreed that he would not use her Telling Aunt Chloe, who already knew he was her father, that it was their little secret - would respond with confidence.
Of course, she would also pay more attention to Bruce's news, and one morning after discovering that she had become Superman, she directly and openly began to eavesdrop on Bruce's situation.
She held her face and looked out the window. Her super hearing allowed her to clearly hear the situation in Gotham thousands of kilometers away. Her father, Bruce, was participating in a charity event. He was standing on the podium, surrounded by people's voices. The whispers were amplified in her ears. They were talking about the rich man.
Words of pity, disdain, ridicule, and even a little disgust came to Mia, which made Mia stunned. She always thought that Baby Brucie was very popular. You can tell by looking at the reports on TV and newspapers. They Praising his good deeds and boasting about his wealth, instead of... She lay on the table with her mouth pursed. Even if those words were not directed at her, they still made her feel uncomfortable. Or should I say, any normal person would be right. This makes me feel uncomfortable.
Maybe she can mention this to Bruce next time he comes, Mia thought. She turned her head and looked at the sky. The white clouds were slowly moving under the influence of the wind, and the sounds of the event venue were still ringing in her ears. rang out until a gunshot halted all discussion.
A group of criminals show up on the scene with guns in hand, targeting Brucie Baby who is standing on top. As the richest man in Gotham, he always attracts the attention of many kidnappers.
At this moment, Mia sat up. She stared out the window with wide eyes, then looked at her classmates and teacher who were all looking at her because of her actions. Before the teacher asked, she stood up from her seat and said something. "Teacher, I'm going to the bathroom." Then he left the classroom.
She ran to the corner, and after making sure there was no one around and no cameras, she took off her clothes to reveal the uniform with the "S" logo underneath. The uniform was on her when she woke up in the morning.
Then she used super speed to fly to Gotham. Of course, before going to Gotham, she also made a trip back home to hide the clothes she took off. She was worried that while she was away, her clothes would be thrown into the trash can by school staff or picked up by some small animal to make a nest.
She didn't want to explain to her teacher why she had changed her clothes after going to the bathroom, or to Aunt Chloe why she had lost her clothes today.
I also found the mask I wore last Halloween. She didn't want Bruce to recognize her. Her mother had said that she couldn't tell her abilities to people she didn't trust. It was a very dangerous thing. As much as she liked Bruce and he was her dad, they hadn't gotten to that point yet.
What's more, she doesn't know if she will be on TV or in the newspaper. She doesn't want Aunt Chloe to know about her skipping class. It would be a disaster.
So she continued flying to Gotham after putting on a mask to make sure no one else could recognize her. At this time, the guests attending the event were squatting skillfully in the corner of the venue. The kidnapper pointed a gun at Bruce and shouted to the police outside to get Batman out.
It's just that they didn't expect that what came was Superman. No, to be precise, it should be a miniature version of Superwoman. She was floating in the air wearing a Halloween ghost mask. She was not afraid at all when she saw the gun pointed at her, but instead He shouted at them to surrender quickly.
But this is normal. When you are a superman and have a body of steel, it is difficult for you to be afraid of those guns and ammunition. In fact, they may not be as harmful to her as Aunt Chloe does not allow her to eat dessert. Big, after all, one is just physical damage, while the other is a critical blow that hits the soul directly.
So she just ignored the warnings of the kidnappers and defeated them in one fell swoop using her super speed and super strength.
She looked at the unconscious kidnappers with her hands on her hips, and then gently landed in front of Bruce. She originally wanted to comfort her weak father - he was always described like this in the news - and told him not to be afraid. , the bad guy had already been beaten by her, but before she could say anything, Brucie thanked her.
He emphasized to her in an exaggerated tone that if she had not
appeared the kidnappers would have succeeded. When the reporters came up, he naturally put his hands around her shoulders and announced to them that the little superman today was him. hero.
This made Mia feel very strange. On the one hand, she was not used to such scenes. Those dazzling flashes made her feel like she couldn't open her eyes. On the other hand, this kind of blues was a bit too much for her. strangeness.
In her impression, Bruce should be a gentle, calm, and tired image, not as frivolous as he is now, and he also does such childish things as casually putting things on others. You know she stopped doing that after she entered elementary school.
So she tugged on Bruce's clothes, and after he squatted down, she carefully moved to his ear and said to him, "Can you take that thing off of me? It's really in my ear." It's so noisy!"
Bruce, who just put a tracker on Mia while he was holding his arms around her shoulders:...
