After Fang Yuan and the others restarted the timeline in the Nightmare World, the World returned to 1997.
Now, over a year has passed, and it is 1999.
Calculating the time, isn't Damian, Bruce's only son, just born?
Of course, there might be a deviation between the plot and reality. It's possible Talia didn't give birth to Damian, but Bruce said that whether it was a boy or a girl, he would give them the care they deserved.
So it's obvious where Bruce went.
"Fang, it looks like you know where Master Bruce is?" Alfred asked with concern. "There won't be any danger, will there?"
Fang Yuan nodded: "Indeed, a life is at stake."
Before Alfred could get anxious, Fang Yuan comforted him in advance: "But it's alright, Bruce can handle the relationship."
"Relationship?" Alfred was very confused.
That's right, the relationship with his father-in-law, the relationship with his child, and the relationship with the child's mother—it was a chaotic mess.
But Fang Yuan wasn't worried. As the Gotham Succubus, there was nothing Bruce couldn't handle.
Seeing that Fang Yuan wouldn't say more and thinking that Bruce was also keeping it from him, Alfred didn't ask further.
As long as he could confirm his young master was safe, it was fine.
"By the way, Mr. Fang Yuan, that..." Alfred asked a bit sheepishly, "Since you're back, what about Master Thomas?"
"I'll go check on Bruce first. Once he's done with his business, I'll bring Thomas over," Fang Yuan replied.
Alfred immediately beamed: "Great! Would you like some black tea? I just made some waffles."
"Waffles? That sounds good." Fang Yuan's eyes lit up.
As long as it wasn't muffins; the taste of Alfred's muffins was hard to describe, but his other food was at a chef's level.
It seemed that in different versions of the Universe, Alfred always had some food he wasn't good at. Sometimes it was waffles, sometimes black tea; in this Universe, it was muffins.
But that's normal; no one is perfect.
Just like Fang Yuan, he was happy to provide warmth to pretty young ladies, but he couldn't just warm one.
Sigh, it was all because he was too kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see a young lady freezing.
Unfortunately, on the Himalayas, there were no young ladies for him to warm.
Fang Yuan walked through the snowy mountains; his destination was the League of Assassins headquarters.
It seems that foreign films and TV shows love to put the Base of mysterious organizations on the Himalayas because the place is remote enough.
However, due to the Great River Crab, it is well known that only a small portion of the southern Himalayas exists within the known Universe.
It didn't take much effort for Fang Yuan to find Bruce Wayne hiding in a cave.
Under his Telepathy, Bruce stood out starkly against the snow.
"Fang? You're here so soon?"
Seeing Fang Yuan, Bruce wasn't too surprised. Obviously, even from thousands of miles away, he could see the situation at Wayne Manor.
"Yeah, you've become a stay-at-home dad; shouldn't I come to celebrate?"
Fang Yuan replied while eating from a jar of cookies, crunching away.
Bruce looked on hungrily and reached out to grab a handful.
"By the way, was it a nephew or a niece?" Fang Yuan asked.
Although according to Thomas's side, this would be Fang Yuan's grandson's generation, considering Bruce might stab him in the back for that, Fang Yuan generously lowered the seniority.
At the mention of the child, a smile appeared on Bruce's face: "Talia named the child Damian."
Hearing this, Fang Yuan understood. As expected, the force of plot inertia is strong; it was a nephew again this time.
"So what do you plan to do? Drop in as a father from the sky or guard silently?" Fang Yuan asked again. "Or just snatch the kid and run?"
Bruce's current outfit was the Talon uniform; he had clearly wandered through the League of Assassins more than once.
Bruce shook his head: "Damian is still too young and shouldn't leave his mother. It wouldn't be good for him or Talia."
"This World's Talia must satisfy you very much," Fang Yuan teased.
Bruce did not deny it.
Fang Yuan roughly understood which version of Talia and Damian this was.
The pair from the animated movie Son of Batman. This version of Damian subsequently appeared in animated movies like Batman vs. Robin, Justice League vs. Teen Titans, and Justice League Dark: Apokolips War.
Although these animated movies were generally mediocre, they were still much better than Blue Beetle.
Because it was an animation, the Talia and Damian inside were much gentler than in the comics. The Talia who used Damian as a tool in the comics was indeed a capable mother in the animation.
In the movie, to save Damian, Talia almost died at the hands of Deathstroke. Fortunately, Batman saved her with the Water from the Lazarus Pit.
No wonder Bruce was fully committed to Talia and their son, even putting aside his identity as Batman for now.
"Does Talia know you're here?" Fang Yuan asked while munching on cookies and watching the drama.
"I haven't revealed my identity, but she seems to have noticed," Bruce frowned slightly. "It's still inconvenient for my identity to be known by too many people."
Fang Yuan keenly sensed something was wrong: "It looks like you've run into trouble?"
Bruce stared at Fang Yuan as if assessing whether he should tell him.
Fang Yuan shrugged: "I'll know even if you don't say it."
So Bruce sighed: "It's Deathstroke."
Deadpool's cousin?
This animated version of Deathstroke originated from the League of Assassins.
Fang Yuan immediately became interested.
"Talia didn't tell the other members of the League of Assassins that Damian is my son. Slade wants to become Ras al Ghul's heir, but after Damian was born, the inheritance fell to Damian."
"So Slade wants to force Talia to announce the child is his." Bruce calmly stated the current situation.
But Fang Yuan couldn't stay calm.
"What? Deathstroke is that brave?" Fang Yuan's eyes widened. "Deathstroke actually wants to steal your wife and son?"
He then thought of the Deathstroke in the Nightmare timeline, who had even killed Alfred—all of whom were the people closest to Batman.
"It seems the Joker isn't your greatest enemy; Deathstroke is," he lamented.
Only, Fang Yuan was still very curious.
"But even if you're not there, isn't there still Ras al Ghul?"
"Doesn't the Ras al Ghul teach him a lesson?"
To Fang Yuan's question, Bruce sighed: "A while ago, Ra's came to Gotham to cause trouble, and I seriously injured him. He's still recovering right now."
"Oh, I see. It's still your own doing." Fang Yuan, enjoying the gossip, felt the waffles tasted even sweeter. "Who told you to beat your father-in-law so badly?"
"In that case, let me help you!" Fang Yuan said, clearly enjoying the chaos. "I guarantee your family won't be torn apart!"
"No need, I'll do it myself!" Bruce flatly refused.
If he let Fang Yuan intervene, who knows what kind of scene he would create?
