American comics: Damn it, I’m surrounded by those who worry about their fathers!.

Chapter 809: A-Zu: Great, my brothers and sisters are coming for me!
"Do you know him?"

Seeing that Bakugo, Wei, and Mark looked nervous, Helena asked them in confusion: "I see that you look a little nervous."

"Yes."

Mark did not hide anything and said directly to the two of them: "His name is Star-Lord, also known as Peter Padrick Jr. He is our second brother."

"what?"

Helena looked at the three in shock, "Your brother?"

"Although he doesn't look like one, he is indeed our family member. For some reason, our father cannot see us now, so the seven or eight of us brothers and sisters were exiled to this city. Only by deciding who is the final winner can we see him. In a sense, this is also a kind of competition."

"Just like you, Tim, and Nightwing, Jason Todd, are fighting for who should inherit the cape and who will be the final successor to Batman, we are now also engaged in this kind of 'battle for the cape'."

Mark said to the two of them in a somewhat depressed mood: "Now Star-Lord is the first to withdraw. It must be that someone else took care of him."

Tim and Helena fell silent as they listened to Mark's words.

"So, is the newly appeared Peter Padrick also disguised as your brothers and sisters?"

After a moment's silence, Tim asked Mark and the other two.

"Yes."

Mark explained to the two: "And purely from a power perspective, each of them has the power to destroy Gotham."

Hearing what Mark said, Tim and Helena both looked shocked.

The turmoil in Gotham caused by the absence of Batman is already enough to cause headaches.

What is unexpected is that beneath the undercurrent on the surface, there are even more turbulent forces lurking.

If we are not careful, the entire Gotham may fall into great turmoil.

"Is the relationship between you brothers and sisters not good?"

Helena asked Bakugo cautiously.

"Uh, it's pretty good actually."

Baobao said insincerely.

"I know."

Helena nodded and said, "It's like when there are many children in a family. There will always be some who are neglected and some who want attention. Everyone wants to be loved by their parents, but it is impossible to achieve an equal distribution."

"Compared to that, I am much luckier because before I was eight years old, I felt that I was the luckiest person in the world because I was the only child of my parents."

Helena shrugged her shoulders. "Even though my father knew that I was not his daughter, and even though he still beat his wife in front of his daughter and son, and even though I was young and didn't know that my family was a mafia, and didn't know that there were all kinds of deals going on in my family."

Explosion: “.”

Now that you mention it, why does it feel like you are even worse off than me?
At least my father loves me and he has never felt unhappy.

“Ahem.!”

Tim coughed, interrupting the strange silence among the group.

He knew about Helena's miserable childhood and that she had been trapped by her family and had never gotten out of that nightmare.

Helena had told him before that she often had nightmares.

Tim knew how she stopped having nightmares later.

Helena's cousin told her that if she wanted revenge and wanted the nightmare to stop happening, only she could stop it, calling for blood. So when Helena asked her cousin what she should do, her cousin pointed to a crossbow hanging on the wall.

Pulling his thoughts back, Tim asked Boom and Mark, "Does that mean we could be attacked by your brothers and sisters at any time? They are always in the dark?"

"Yes."

Mark said a little embarrassedly: “I’m sorry, I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”

Helena was more open-minded. "It doesn't matter. We've already had enough troubles. Let's think on the bright side. At least one competitor has been eliminated, right?"

"Baobao, Wei, can you tell us about your father?"

After listening to the three people talking, Helena has developed a strong interest in Peter.

She wanted to see how the other party raised so many superhero sons and daughters.

Batman has four Robins at most, but Peter Padrick has at least eight or nine!
Is it really true that more people means more things can be done?
As Helena looked at Baobao, she couldn't help but fall into wild thoughts.

"of course."

When talking about his father, Baobao couldn't help but have a look of pride on his face.

"We live in Smallville, and my father is a local farmer. There should be a similar place in this world, where Superman lives."

Once Baobao starts talking, he can't stop and soon blurts out everything he knows.

".She was also taken to the underworld by Hades as a bride."

When Baobao said this, he saw the glares from Wei and Mark and immediately stopped bragging.

She said sheepishly, "That's Raven's story."

"Raven?"

Helena and Tim asked curiously, "Has Raven become your sister?"

The two had seen the raven from this world, but they did not expect that the raven from the other world would become Peter Patrick's daughter.

What’s more, the other party also adopted Superman as his godson!

How could such an outrageous behavior be achieved?
Both of them fell into a state of confusion.

"Well." Finally, Helena asked carefully: "Will your father come to our world?"

"Will he be scarier than the Three Palace Demon?"

Mark shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I know Dad will be very anxious."

Meanwhile, the Batcave.

Nightwing, played by Raven, looked at Damian lying on the bed.

"Gunshot wound. Eighty-nine stitches. And enough blood transfusion to feed an elephant."

Nightwing said to Alfred next to him.

He said with some self-blame: "I need to be responsible for the situation at the scene."

Riven actually felt a little guilty.

She didn't expect that Jason would actually shoot!
Alfred looked at Nightwing who was blaming himself and said to him, "Many years ago, Bruce also mentioned you, Master Tim, and Jason Todd several times."

Nightwing raised his head and looked at the butler standing beside him.

"He's right. I didn't do well enough. Nightwing failed to protect Gotham."

At this time, Riven was also thinking about whether what Jason said made sense.

Did the gentle approach between Batman and Nightwing make the city a better place?

His father always believed that the actions his godson Bruce insisted on were right in Gotham.

Before, Riven always believed that her father was right.

But now that she has transformed into Nightwing, she is a little confused.

As she was hesitating, she suddenly saw a video of Gwen on the surveillance video of the Batcave.

Raven was stunned to see Star-Lord being eliminated.

She didn't expect Star-Lord to be eliminated so soon!
Was it A-Zu who did it?

Riven immediately thought that the murderer was A-Zu!

Except for him, no one can defeat Star-Lord easily!

After all, even she dared not underestimate Star-Lord's divine power.

Alfred watched the expression on Nightwing's face keep changing, and asked him worriedly, "Master Dick, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I was just thinking of someone very important."

Nightwing looked up and smiled at Alfred.

"Someone very important?"

"Yes, a very important person, so important that if I lose him, I don't know how I would live."

"He gave me life and a way to survive in this society. I remember him saying: The tragedy of Gotham is that it needs the symbol of Batman to maintain basic social stability, but it cannot really get rid of the cycle of violence because of the existence of this symbol. Now I really understand what he meant by this sentence."

He paused and continued:

"Gotham has long been caught between gang rule and super villains. Ordinary citizens' fear of violence has been internalized as a survival instinct. The criminals' performative violence and the corruption of the bureaucracy have formed a symbiotic relationship, leading to the failure of the legal system and the collapse of social trust."

"So the young generation that grew up here, growing up in a violent environment, is eager to break the old order, but it is difficult to get rid of the shadow of their parents."

A complicated expression appeared on his face. "Now, I am thrown into this environment and can look at society from a different perspective. I am experiencing all this as a teenager who grew up in a violent environment. I think this is an experience I have never had before."

“Perhaps, this is a test he gave us.”

Alfred nodded. Although he wanted to ask who that "he" was, he didn't ask in the end.

He always felt that the young master in front of him seemed a little different from before.

Gotham City Police Department.

A-Zu also learned that Star-Lord was out.

Watching the report on TV, his brows furrowed tightly.

"John, do you really think the Arkham jailbreak case is related to the murder case at the port?"

Commissioner Gordon asked Zu.

"of course."

Ah Zu sat down on the director's office chair and said to Gordon, "What I caught before were just some small shrimps. The real mastermind is still hiding. Look at these."

As he said this, he pointed to the horrific photos of the bodies at the port scene placed on the table.

"Based on the half-dead bodies of Two-Face's men, I can say with certainty that these were all done by Killer Croc."

"And there are the toxicology reports of these bodies. You said the reports will be out in two days. Now I can tell you that these were done by Poison Ivy."

Gordon nodded. "So, the Penguin is not the mastermind behind the prison break?"

"Yes, it wasn't him, nor was it Two-Face. I have a strong feeling that this wasn't done by these gangsters. It was probably done by my unruly brothers and sisters. They wanted to deal with me!"

"Your brothers and sisters?"

Hearing what the other party said, Commissioner Gordon was stunned.

But the next second, with a "whoosh", A-Zu rushed in front of Gordon to block him.

"boom!"
