Peter was confused.
Ever since he put on his uniform and became active in New York as the Spider-man, doing his best to help the citizens of New York, he had never been so confused.
He looked at Mr. Grésen, then looked at Rania on the hospital bed.
A person from Gotham (emphasis, Gotham!) Said in front of the Spider-man that New York was not safe and wanted to take Rania back to Gotham???
Peter already felt guilty that his friend was injured in the battle with the enemy. Now, a person from Gotham said that New York was not as safe as Gotham …
The little spider felt bitter.
Although her leg was broken, Rania was still very tenacious.
Gotham was not safe at all. Even compared to New York, which was often joked about in talk shows as "the best place to watch the end of the world", it was definitely not safe. Thanks to the talk shows, everyone in America knew this.
But Rania was different. Rania had a great dream in her heart.
Think about it, if she didn't protect her father, who knew how long he would have to lie at home. How pitiful.
If it wasn't for the fact that with Gotham's reputation, it would be weird for her to agree right away, Rania almost blurted out "okay".
As soon as this proposal came out, Dick carefully thought about it and felt a little guilty. However, without explaining his identity, he couldn't let Rania and her friends believe the truth of this sentence. He could only watch the little girl look at him with slight surprise.
But there was only surprise, she didn't seem to be moved at all.
Dick sighed in his heart. After all, that was Gotham … If he was a foreigner, he wouldn't be moved by this proposal.
This idea didn't appear for long, probably only starting from when Dick received a message from the Bat Cave last night.
Batman was omniscient. This statement was a little exaggerated, but it was not far from the truth. While the Spider-man was still vigilantly tailing the cyborg organization, trying to figure out their purpose, Batman had already dug out the identity of the other party in the transaction.
Unsurprisingly and annoyingly, there were traces of the Gotham criminals that they were familiar with.
When investigating the Arkham Prison Break, Tim discovered that the prison break was a cover for a trade. While they were distracted by Arkham, a mad scientist from Gotham — to be honest, Dick sometimes felt that Gotham was a place full of geniuses. Otherwise, why else would there be so many mad scientists — made a trade with a group of visitors from New York.
As they continued their investigation, they found out that the group of New Yorkers belonged to an organization that had just entered their sights. It was the Cyborg Research Institute that the Spider-man had unluckily uncovered a few hours ago. Therefore, luck was really important when it came to villains. If they were unlucky, not only would they run into the city vigilantes, they would also have a group of bats observing them in the dark.
As for the trade item …
He looked at the girl on the bed. Rania was biting on the straw, sucking on the cocoa fragments from the Frappuccino. A strand of curly hair on the top of her head was sticking up proudly. She was not wearing glasses, and her eyes were clear and bright. The sunlight shone into her clear blue eyes, giving off a golden glow.
Dick looked at her and wanted to laugh bitterly in his heart.
The trade item was Batman's DNA. This was not a big deal. It was inevitable that DNA would leak out during a battle. Even Superman would experience DNA leakage. In comparison, Batman's DNA was not that difficult to obtain.
However, that was before they discovered Rania.
The timing of the girl who was suspected to be a clone was too coincidental. Even if he did not feel that she was a dangerous experimental product, rationally, with Bruce's meticulousness and suspicion, he was more inclined to leave follow-up monitoring methods for long-term observation to determine whether Rania had any dangerous tendencies and whether there was a hidden conspiracy behind her.
If Rania was just an ordinary girl, Batman would only monitor her for a long time and would not interfere with her life. But coincidentally, they had a very suitable reason. What could be more convenient than keeping this Lesser Shrike by their side and closely monitoring her?
Even Tim expressed his approval of this proposal. Although it was not as obvious as Damien, Dick could feel that Red Robin was actually the one who was most opposed to him coming into contact with Rania.
No matter how he looked at it, bringing Rania back to Gotham was the best choice.
Nightwing was Nightwing. In a short moment, he had prepared a bunch of reasons that sounded reasonable. He rolled up his sleeves and planned to persuade Rania. At the same time, he wanted her little friend to stop trying to poke him into a sieve with her eyes.
However, he did not use any of them.
The little girl hesitated for a few seconds. She blinked and unconsciously tapped the paper cup with her fingertips. She raised her head and asked seriously, "I saw the news yesterday. Was Mr. Weyne injured?"
Dick was speechless.
I'm sorry, Bruce.
Nightwing thought determinedly. Then, he put on a worried tone and said, "Yes, his injury this time is slightly … more serious than before. I don't know if it's because of this, but it made him a little more emotional. He wants … to see you."
As he spoke, he observed Rania's expression. He was relieved to see that the little girl was frowning. There was a slightly worried expression on her face. Her fingers on the blanket were slightly clenched.
"How serious is it?" she asked.
Dick was speechless.
Dick said firmly, "He is so weak that he can't stand up."
Rania pursed her lips and her eyes drifted to the air.
Next, all he needed was for Bruce to lie on the bed and pretend to be weak for a while. He had to remember to tell Bruce. Nightwing comforted himself that victory was in sight.
He did not notice that Peter looked at Rania, then looked at him, and then looked at Rania. There was a kind of … shocked expression on his face.
"I …" Rania looked a little hesitant.
Dick struck while the iron was hot. "He thought about it for a long time. Although he wanted you to go home, in the end, he decided to respect your choice. If you really don't want to, I think he will only feel a little regretful."
Rania said, "A little regretful?"
"…" Dick said firmly, "Very, very regretful."
Next, Dick fully displayed his speaking skills and portrayed a picture of "an old father lonely and lonely missing his daughter". He tried to highlight that Bruce, who originally wanted Rania to go home and forgive her and respect her, had become more and more emotional after his injury. Coupled with the fact that Rania was hospitalized, he became more and more worried.
When he finally closed his mouth, Rania looked a little moved.
Dick was very satisfied. He succeeded in softening Rania's attitude with half-truths. If he worked hard, he would be able to take her back.
Rania was also very satisfied. She played her role logically and maintained her persona. She achieved her goal while perfectly concealing her true thoughts.
The little spiders watching the whole process were speechless.
