Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts
Chapter 121 Welcome back to Gotham
Unknowingly, Lucas had spent two years in New York. He was admitted to Gotham University as he wished, and Peter, Gwen and Harry were also admitted to their favorite colleges. Mindy also tried Entered a middle school.
Alone with Lucas, we took the subway to Gotham with very little luggage. This time we were picked up by a luxury car, and there was an old man in a tuxedo waiting for us.
He took Lucas' suitcase and said in a standard British accent, "Welcome Master Easton, I am the butler of the Wayne family, Alfred Pennyworth."
Lucas tried to take control of the suitcase himself, but Alfred insisted that this was what a butler should do, so he let go and said politely, "Hello, Mr. Pennyworth."
When he got into the expensive black luxury car, Lucas realized that Bruce was also there.
"Bruce..." Lucas called out somewhat unaccustomedly.
"Yeah." Bruce responded with a chuckle, "Don't worry, your brothers are very welcome to your arrival."
Brothers... Lucas pursed his lips, they were indeed old acquaintances.
Not long after, Lucas saw a familiar scene outside the window.
Ancient Gothic buildings and modern high-rise buildings complement each other, and the sun shines through the thick clouds. This is a city where history and modernity complement each other. This is Gotham.
As the vehicle drove, the buildings outside became sparse. After crossing a bridge, there was a deserted forest, and then a huge manor came into view.
"We're here." Alfred stopped the car steadily.
"Welcome! Lucas!"
Before Lucas and Bruce could reach the mansion, the door opened, and Dick jumped down the steps and greeted Lucas warmly.
"Where are the others?" Bruce asked.
"Everyone is here except Jason."
"Jason..." Bruce sighed helplessly. He really had nothing to do with his rebellious son. They had a pure conflict of ideas and could not fully reconcile. They could only take a step back.
"Lucas, Jason's absence is not because he hates you, but because he has a quarrel with Bruce." Dick explained to him as he hugged Lucas and walked inside.
"It's okay." Lucas didn't mind.
As he said this, there was a sound of glass breaking inside.
"Oh - I shouldn't have left Tim and Damian alone." Dick held his forehead helplessly.
"I hope my favorite set of cutlery is still intact," Alfred sighed.
When the three of them entered the restaurant, Tim came out with messy clothes and hair. He arranged his clothes and walked towards Lucas.
"We are a family from now on, Lucas." Tim said with a smile. This was a very handsome greeting, but the redness and swelling on his chin ruined his image at this time.
"Are you... fighting?" Lucas couldn't help but ask.
"Don't mention it." Tim's original frame suddenly collapsed.
Although he and Lucas have known each other for a long time, they were friends at that time, but now they have become brothers. Tim still wants to appear in Luca as a new, reliable brother. in front of Si.
"The relationship between Damian and I is not very good." Tim said helplessly, "I..."
His expression was a little troubled.
In Lucas' own world, the relationship between Lucas and Damian can be said to be dependent on each other. After knowing this, Tim felt that it was not appropriate to complain about Damian in front of Lucas. .
"It doesn't matter." Lucas immediately saw Tim's dilemma, "Although they are the same person, they are two different people to me."
"Well... I hope we can give you a new impression." Bruce said cooperatively.
It would be great if Lucas could separate the two worlds.
Lucas looked at Bruce and smiled slightly, "I've felt it."
If he really dwells on the past without looking forward to the future, how can he grow?
Although Bruce himself is opposed to any manipulation of memory, because only with memory can we shape ourselves. But after seeing Lucas' experience, Bruce had to admit that Damian's approach was right.
"Dick, Tim, can you send Lucas to his room?" Bruce said, "So that after Damian finishes cleaning up, we can still have dinner together."
"Well, let's go." Tim shared some of Dick's luggage and winked at Lucas, "You will like your room. Of course, if you need anything, you can ask Alfred. "
"I will fulfill your request, Master Easton." Alfred said cooperatively.
To be honest, Lucas was familiar with Wayne Manor. After all, he was born in Wayne Manor, but he didn't know which room Bruce would put him in.
Seeing how familiar Lucas was with Wayne Manor, Dick smiled and said, "Looks like I don't need any more introduction."
"Even if the world is different, Wayne Manor seems to have remained the same." Lucas' expression was complicated, seeming to be nostalgic and sad.
"You shouldn't have nightmares anymore, right?" Tim asked tentatively.
"Nightmare? How could I be so fragile?" Lucas didn't know that Tim had seen him having a nightmare, and he only thought he was caring about him.
"Really...that's good."
Lucas's room is in a good location, with great lighting, and the soft quilt on the big bed is neatly laid out.
"Wow! I feel like I'm going to be suffocated to death!" Hope got out of Lucas' pocket depressedly.
"Huh? Did Hope come too?" Tim said in surprise.
"What the hell, Lucas and I have lived together for so long, and of course we won't be separated now." Hope raised her chin proudly.
"Oh! Is this your pet bird, Lucas? It's so cute!" Only Dick, who couldn't understand the bird's language, said happily.
"I'm not a pet!"
"Hope is not my pet, he is a companion." Lucas explained helplessly.
"Okay, okay." Dick's eyes were full of love and he nodded repeatedly.
It always felt like he had misunderstood something, but it didn't matter.
It was no secret in the Wayne family that Lucas had a little bird. Everyone thought he liked raising pets, but Tim, the only one who knew about it, kept smiling as if he wanted to cause trouble.
Lucas took out the bird's nest he made for Hope from his luggage and placed it on the bedside.
"You stay here for now, I will bring food up later." Lucas said.
"Go, go." Hope lazily nestled in the bird's nest and waved her wings.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you take Hope down, no one will care." Dick said, "Wayne Manor is huge, Hope can fly wherever he wants."
Lucas was stunned for a moment, "Okay."
Lucas believed that Hope was originally a human being, because some of his habits and tone of voice were very human-like, so he always ignored the fact that birds need space to fly.
"Oh, don't worry, Lucas, I just like staying like this." Hope said quickly.
He didn't want to be misunderstood by Lucas. He just liked to stay by himself and didn't like flying around.
"Timely exercise is necessary." Lucas nodded Hope's little head.
"Ouch-" Hope wailed.
"Um, what's going on? It looks very depressed." Dick said confused.
"It's okay, let's go down."
"By the way, there is something I need to tell you in advance." When he was about to arrive at the restaurant, Tim suddenly said, "I know you won't confuse them, but I still want to say that the same goes for Damian in our world. That way, he won't have deep feelings for you, so if he says something outrageous, don't take it to heart."
Damian has always regarded himself as Bruce's only biological son. It's hard to say how he will react when there is one more child.
"Little D is still too radical because of his mother's education." Dick said helplessly, but as one of the people who had seen Lucas' memories, he still said, "However, Tibao is right. Damian won’t be as friendly to you as your Damian.”
"I understand." Lucas sighed.
Despite his mental preparation, he couldn't help but stop when he saw the little boy with black hair and green eyes.
Naturally, Damian noticed Lucas's arrival immediately, and he slowly walked up to Lucas like a proud little leopard.
"Lucas Easton, I know you." Damian looked at Lucas, "It is said that we have a good relationship in the other world?"
"It's really good." Lucas subconsciously looked away, unwilling to touch Damian's face.
This action was so obvious that Damian clicked his tongue in displeasure. Lucas' information was not a confidential matter in the Bat family, and at least Damian knew quite a lot about it.
Knowing that Lucas was another brother that he tried so hard to protect made Damian feel so unreal.
Thalia has a room with hundreds of clones of Damian sealed in it. He needs to constantly defeat those clones, because only the strongest deserves the name Damian.
I have never experienced it, so I can't understand that he would do anything to protect someone.
And Damian hated this feeling, hated the feeling of Lucas looking at him, like looking at another person through him.
"Don't make any mistake, he and I are not the same person." Damian said coldly.
"I know, I'm sorry." Lucas apologized.
No one likes to be used as a stand-in. This is inherently rude.
"It just takes a moment, please don't worry about it," he said.
Damian glanced at Lucas's calm face and felt a little uncomfortable. To be fair, Lucas's character was pretty good. Maybe he should get to know this younger brother from another world so that he could understand another reason for doing what he did. .
"Then I will have to endure your rudeness reluctantly."
"Thank you." Lucas bent down slightly, his eyes were level with Damian's, "Please introduce yourself formally. My name is Lucas Easton, and I come from another world."
Facing his outstretched hand, Damian looked deeply into Lucas's eyes. After realizing that he was not dazed, he stretched out his hand to shake his hand, "Damian Wayne, Easton, Don’t embarrass the Wayne family.”
Dick was surprised by the harmony between the two at this time, Bruce was also a little surprised, and Tim secretly gave Lucas a thumbs up under the table after sitting down.
A sumptuous dinner and friendly family, Lucas lay on the big bed thinking about today's experience. The dark and bloody Wayne Manor was gradually replaced by the warm and clean Wayne Manor in front of him.
"Lucas, are you happy when you come back?" Hope asked.
"Very good, they are all very good people." Lucas smiled.
He sighed. Lucas didn't want to attribute all the differences to the main universe and the dark universe, but the fact is that people in the dark universe are more psychologically fragile, and a little carelessness will turn them into evil, leading to serious consequences.
Also, who cares about a world that is meant to be destroyed.
"You shouldn't be angry with me. I am not the reason for the formation of the dark universe." The consciousness of the universe once said to Lucas.
"Then why?"
"Then it's up to you to find out for yourself." He said.
Lucas is very concerned about this, but he doesn't have any clues now, and if he wants to explore the secrets of the dark universe, he has to go back to the dark universe, right? But...he didn't even know why he came to this world. It seemed that when he opened and closed his eyes, all he saw was the sky of Gotham.
The memory of this period is also completely blank. Lucas has been in Crime Alley since he could remember it. Even if he asked about the will of the universe, he remained silent.
Lucas never felt that there was any close relationship between himself and such a great being as the will of the universe. The relationship between them was purely utilization and transaction. The emotions coming from the other end of the Fool's contract were always as cold as machinery.
It was impossible for Him not to know the way of His arrival, but there was no need to say it.
"Alas, it's a pity that Gwen and the others can't see each other more often." Hope said regretfully.
"Speaking of which, if you hand over the position of group leader to Gwen, are you ready for today?"
"Consider this. Sooner or later we will go our separate ways because of our respective ideals and futures, but even if we are separated, we are still friends and companions." Lucas said, "The bonds we have formed will never disappear."
"Lucas, I like what you said very much, but I will not leave you."
Hearing Hope's words, Lucas smiled and responded softly, "Yeah."
After chatting for a while, Lucas finally felt sleepy. The kryptonite bomb in his heart had not been removed yet, so his physique was still that of an ordinary person.
Encouraged by the cloud-like touch beneath him, Lucas soon fell asleep.
However, in the Batcave beneath Wayne Manor, the vigilantes' nightlife has just begun.
