Previous chapter: Chapter 3Next chapter: Chapter 5
Because of skipping class, Mia was not allowed to eat snacks for the next two weeks, and even the cakes she brought back were given to the neighbors as gifts by Aunt Chloe.
This made Mia very unhappy. She sat on the swing sadly, and Mishy sat on the other side. She looked at Sheldon who was sitting obediently on the wooden box.
Normally he wouldn't appear here, that should be Billy's place, but because Billy is going out with his mother to go shopping today, and their mother wants Sheldon to go out and play—— He'd been holed up in that damn garage for almost over two weeks now - so they, Mischi to be precise, had reluctantly agreed to let him join them.
"So how does that cake taste?" Mia suddenly asked, turning her head and looking at them with resentful eyes. Of course, Aunt Chloe did not forget to share the cake with her friends. She even sent it with her in the first place in order to make her memory long.
"The taste is okay." Mi Xi replied, and she shrugged, as if the cake tasted really average.
This made Sheldon feel a little confused. Mi Xi clearly said that she liked those cakes at home, but he did not expose her, but talked about his own feelings.
"That cake tasted great even by my standards," he said, imitating the introductions of food show hosts on TV.
Although he usually doesn't watch this kind of program, he occasionally sees it when changing channels or when his mother controls the TV.
"The texture of the buttercream is smooth and not overly sweet, and I love the freshly squeezed orange juice my mom makes to go with the cake..." "
So is it really that good?" Sheldon said. Mia interrupted him halfway, her tone sounded disappointed, and her eyes looking at Sheldon couldn't help but bring out a hint of anger.
She knew she was wrong. Sheldon didn't do anything wrong. He just answered her questions truthfully. But she would have had the chance to taste those cakes instead of just sitting and listening to him talk about how they tasted.
"Yes..."
"So those cakes were brought to you by Brucie?" Mishy asked before Sheldon could continue.
She didn't call Bruce her father, not to mention that he hadn't announced Mia's existence to the outside world yet - her father said sarcastically after knowing that he probably didn't want to admit it, and although her mother didn't say What, but I am also worried about it. Bruce's reputation to the outside world is not very good - and before he became Mia's father, she called him Bruce, or should I say most women in the world, of course including many men, young and old, They all called him Brucie.
"You can think so." Mia nodded with a pout, and she swung the swing every now and then. It was obvious that she was no longer superhuman and had no super hearing, but the music from the ice cream truck was still as clear as if it was ringing in her ears.
She wanted to go over and have a look. It was afternoon, snack time, and she had been out for so long, so an ice cream was not too much.
But Mia was a little discouraged when she thought of Aunt Chloe being angry. Of course, this is not because she is a good and obedient child, or it should be said that although she is obedient most of the time, she actually does not seem to be that obedient.
After all, if she was really a good baby, then she would not have skipped class (in response to this, Mia firmly stated loudly that she clearly left school to save people) and did not return home until school was over.
You must know that her teacher was shocked when she discovered that she was missing. She urgently called her parents and reported it to the principal, preparing to call the police directly if she was not found elsewhere in the school. .
Chloe was also startled when she received the call. She almost immediately stood up from her work station, picked up her bag and walked towards the parking lot.
Although she knew that her niece was a superwoman today, and as long as she didn't hit the villains, no one could hurt her, but in the end, she was still just a child, and it was normal for her to worry about her.
At the same time, she was walking and asking for leave from her boss. But
in the middle of typing, her phone suddenly pushed a message to her, which was about the new Super Girl (because Mia did not say her code name, but from her Judging from the "S" on her body, she is obviously related to Superman, so the media decided to temporarily call her "new supergirl"). When she defeated the kidnappers and rescued the girl who jumped from the building, the reporter also posted a picture of her wearing the evil girl next to her. A photo of an oni mask floating in the air with its arms akimbo.
As soon as Chloe saw the photo, she recognized that the so-called new Super Girl was Mia. The mask she was wearing was the one she bought for her last Halloween.
This moment made her relax. No matter what, it was good to know that Mia was okay. After that, she started to get angry again. She was angry that she dared to skip class from school and ran away from Texas to Gotham. She actually dared to face the kidnappers with guns alone. Even if she was Superman today, she was still just a child who was still in school.
So she first called the teacher to apologize and told them that Mia had been taken back by her uncle because of something at home. Then she continued to ask for leave from her boss, preparing to catch her as soon as possible when she returned home.
But she still sighed when she saw Mia's pleading eyes. She couldn't say that her act of rescuing people was bad. It was obviously more important than staying in school.
It's just that if she doesn't give her some punishment and let her know that skipping class is bad behavior, and that when she finds a bad person, she should call the police as soon as possible instead of going up to it herself.
So she banned her snacks for the next two weeks, and in order to prevent stealing - don't think she didn't know that she often went to neighbors and friends' houses to get snacks when she didn't know - she also made a special request when delivering cakes. Their neighbor explained the situation.
Although they were a little surprised after hearing her words, they also understood it. After all, who hasn't seen a few naughty kids?
She also suspended Mia's pocket money during the snack fast. She stared at her with wide eyes when she heard this, as if she didn't want to believe it was true.
"To make sure you don't use your pocket money to buy ice cream secretly, I will keep it for you for a while." Chloe repeated that sentence in a gentle tone, but to Mia's ears, it almost sounded like It's almost like a devil's whisper.
But she did something wrong first, so she could only nod obediently and promised her aunt that this would never happen again.
Thinking of this, Mia sighed heavily. She swayed the swing slightly while mentally guessing when the man wearing a hat and sunglasses across the street would come over and ask them for directions.
This was the third or fourth time she had seen him in the past few months. In fact, besides him, there were some other people. Most of them were her brothers and some of their friends.
Some of them would come to them in poor disguise—her eldest brother, Richard Grayson in particular.
When Mia saw him for the first time, she even thought he was some kind of suspicious person and wanted to call the police, but when she saw that very recognizable butt (that butt always occupied the C position in newspapers) He chose to give up, and thoughtfully suggested that he might try adding a cloak to himself next time without revealing his disguise.
Dick:? ? ?
And some will do nothing and pretend to be a passerby - here I am mainly talking about her second brother, Jason Todd.
The first time Mia saw him was after school one day. She was waiting for the school bus with Mi Xi. Her mother couldn't pick her up because she had to go to church to work. Then she saw a man wearing a jacket. , that is her second brother, Jason Todd.
When checking the news about Bruce, she had seen his photo in the newspaper. They called him the lucky boy who came back from the dead. Mia didn't know why. The second son of the Wayne family died in a car accident that year. The news about him was not within her scope of attention, so she just glanced at him a few times before getting on the school bus and going home.
Others walked up to her directly and revealed her identity - here she was talking about her third brother, Tim Drake.
He almost
walked up to her and told her that he was her third brother and she could just call him Tim.
That made Mia stunned. She thought he would be like her eldest and second brothers. By the way, her eldest brother's name on her side was Rick. He said he was a tourist visiting Texas and wanted to ask. Ask them what's fun here.
After hearing this, Sheldon solemnly introduced him to his favorite Electronic City. He goes there almost every week.
And she mentioned the nearby bowling alley. She had been taken there several times by Aunt Chloe, and she liked the snacks there.
But this time, when Dick came over and asked them if there was any interesting place nearby, she did not answer his question directly. Instead, she thought for a while before telling them about the ice cream shop on the corner, and pretended I accidentally mentioned that that store seemed to have launched a new flavor of ice cream recently.
When she talked about this, there was unconcealable excitement in her tone, but the excitement soon turned into disappointment. She said that her aunt did not have time to take her to try the new flavor of ice cream.
This wasn't a lie, her aunt really didn't have time to take her out for ice cream, she just didn't mention the fact that she was currently on a snack fast.
And Dick also felt a little funny after seeing Mia's look like this. Of course he understood what she meant, or should I say, those thoughts were clearly written on her face.
So he just smiled at her, "Thank you so much for telling me the news, Mia," he told her, and offered to buy them each an ice cream as a token of his gratitude.
Mia was very happy about this, partly because she could eat ice cream. Speaking of which, this was the first time she succeeded. When faced with her little tricks, Mia and Aunt Chloe would only say it when she opened her mouth. Tell her in the first sentence that they won't buy her dessert, ice cream or anything else today.
On the other hand, Aunt Chloe didn't know about Dick's existence, which meant that if no one mentioned it to her, then she would never know that she had eaten it secretly. Root ice cream.
Mi Xi was also happy, it was always great to get a piece of ice cream for free anyway.
Only Sheldon frowned. He opened his mouth to say that Mia's aunt didn't allow her to eat ice cream, but before he could open his mouth, Mia interrupted him. She beat him to it and said that Mi Xi seemed to He wanted to talk to Sheldon about something, all the while winking at Mishy.
Mi Xi also nodded after seeing her like this. She jumped off the swing and pulled Sheldon away as if she suddenly remembered something, leaving Dick standing there looking at them in confusion.
Of course he didn't miss the little moves between them, those things were still hidden from Nightwing's eyes, but he was very considerate and didn't say anything.
It's normal for children to hide secrets from him, just like when he became Robin, he often asked Alfred to help hide Bruce's unfinished homework.
So after waiting for Sheldon to come back with a confused look on his face, they went to the ice cream shop to enjoy a very delicious ice cream.
After coming out of the store, Mia happily waved goodbye to Dick. She shouted "Bye" to him, and reluctantly looked back until she could no longer see his back.
Now in her eyes, Dick has changed from a somewhat strange brother to an absolutely good person. Anyone who can treat her to ice cream is a good person, and anyone who can treat her to ice cream while she is being fasted is an extremely good person.
She hummed contentedly and walked towards home with Mi Xi and the others, and because this time it went so smoothly, when she saw Jason and Tim later, she repeated her same trick and got ice cream from them.
But as the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, your shoes will not get wet. After saying goodbye to her brother once again Mia managed to spot Aunt Chloe in front of the ice cream shop.
She looked at her angrily. Originally, she decided to buy Mia an ice cream as a reward because she thought Mia had behaved quite well recently, but now, "the ban on snacks has been extended for another two weeks." She informed coldly.
Mia: No!!!!!!
