In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 1460: Bird and return (5)
The moment she saw the clown, Barbara subconsciously touched the gun at her waist—and then remembered that she had changed clothes without a gun.
Probably shortly after Damian left his room in Wayne Manor, Barbara climbed out of the window sill. She had to see her father, and more importantly, she might be able to see her father. Mother.
Smart as an oracle, how could she not have imagined that in this universe earlier in the timeline, her mother might not be dead yet, and she really wanted to see her mother so much.
She knew that her father should still be working hard in the police station at this time. As the only good policeman who worked diligently in a megacity, Gordon would never have enough work to do.
At the end of each night's duty, as long as Barbara walks downstairs to the police station and looks up, she can see the familiar lights in Gordon's office room.
Barbara went and the lights were off.
She was wearing a Batgirl uniform, so she was a little hesitant to climb over the wall, but after a short hesitation, the night guard of the Gotham Police Department came over and asked her what she was doing here.
Barbara doesn't know why the Gotham Police Station in this universe is not broken. Generally speaking, it is broken. Seeing it in the Batcave, it is impossible for the doorman to know.
Barbara guessed that this old man might be Batman's mysterious informant, but she couldn't care less about it at this time. Gordon was not in her office at such a late hour, which meant that he must have been out. Being out of the field means that something dangerous and urgent must have happened, most of which are related to Batman.
The lunatics in Arkham Asylum have fled collectively again? The clown kidnapped again and forced Batman to show up? Another mysterious toxin in drinking water or air?
Barbara had countless terrifying thoughts in her mind, so she didn't have time to delay. She took the doorman's arm and asked, "My father... I mean, where is Sheriff Gordon?"
"He's home."
In an instant, Barbara's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. It is very likely that the worst happened. Her mother or her in this world was kidnapped. The clown, the scarecrow, and Hugo may all be the murderers.
With such a mood, Barbara walked to her home along the familiar route, but she knocked on the slightly old door, and it was a stranger who opened the door.
Barbara asked them where James Gordon had gone, and they only said that the landlord had mentioned it, which seemed to be the name of the previous tenant.
Barbara had to find the landlord who lived upstairs again, and only then did she know that Gordon had moved out of here a long time ago. I heard that he bought a new house in the North District.
Barbara rushed to the North District without stopping. Fortunately, the distance is not too far. After passing through the street full of luxury cars, her eyes fell on the fence gate covered with gothic patterns. On it, there was a sign saying "Gordon Manor" in cursive English.
Barbara dexterously climbed over the wall, approached the manor building from the garden, and climbed up the balcony on the second floor along the drainpipe, listening to the sound coming from the brightly lit room.
"My father will attend my cousin's wedding. At that time, I have to go back to Sicily. He can't allow me to be absent from my cousin's wedding. After all, my uncle came when I got engaged..."
"But the planning meeting of the concert event is really important! Yin Wensi! You are exceptionally talented in this area. Where can I find an artist as knowledgeable and talented as you in Gotham?"
"But what I understand is opera, not rap."
"It's always the same thing!"
"Alright, Luo Yin, don't worry too much..."
Barbara recognized that it seemed to be Gordon's voice, but it was not so hoarse, and it sounded much younger.
"How can I not be in a hurry? Now the album is gaining momentum, and in less than a week, Billboard will definitely reach the top, which is very likely to impact this year's Grammys. This is a great opportunity for Gotham's tourism industry to make a breakthrough... "
"Then let's move the date of the planning meeting forward a bit... who's there!"
Barbara just took a step forward, when she saw a black muzzle of a gun open the curtain and land on her head.
The moment the father and daughter looked at each other, both of them were stunned.
To Barbara's shock, Gordon is a little too young.
Of course, Gordon is not a young man, he is much older than Bruce Wayne, but "young" does not mean that he has fewer wrinkles on his face, but that his temperament is very different , simply in high spirits.
Gordon in Barbara's impression has long been in harmony with the style of this city. God didn't give him a little more tolerance in such a terrifying darkness. He is as tired and old as all Gotham people. Just not as numb as they are.
But it is not unreasonable, the last life of conscience in Gotham was soaked in the blood of the unjustly dead and the panic of the lingering people, these things eroded him day after day, let the years on him Even more merciless.
Barbara had never seen, nor expected to see, a red-faced Gordon—the kind who didn't look like he'd been working all night lately, or even sleeping well without having nightmares for at least three days.
But Gordon was shocked by Barbara's appearance, he blurted out: "Barbara... sorry, I mean, are you Barbara's sister? Why are you dressed like this?"
Barbara knew that the "Barbara" he was talking about should be her mother, she didn't even care about the shock in her heart, and Gordon's gunshot, she took a big step forward, peeping through the curtain He rushed out, grabbed Gordon's arm and said, "Where is my mother?"
"Your mother?" Gordon looked at her suspiciously. He looked Barbara from head to toe and said, "With all due respect, it is impossible for Barbara to be as old as you." daughter, or are you her niece?"
"I..."
Barbara's mind was full of confusion and he didn't know where to start. Gordon stepped back and let Barbara into the room.
Seeing that Gordon had a guest, Luo Yin and Yin Wensi, who were sitting on the sofa, both stood up. Yin Wensi nodded to Gordon and said, "Talk, let's go first."
After he and Luo Yin left, Gordon asked Barbara to sit on the sofa, and then Barbara told him about another universe and Batman sent them here.
Batgirl glanced at the beautifully withered handrails under her rather at a loss. In her impression, the Gordon family had never been so rich. Spent in the anxiety of failure.
Gordon put his finger on his chin and said: "Bruce told me about another universe, but I didn't expect that there would be a turnover so soon, so I'm still married to Barbara? Sure enough, I texted her that day and made the right decision to get back together."
"James!" Barbara raised her voice, "What's the matter with this estate? Why are you so rich?"
"I didn't buy this." Gordon waved his hand and said, "Alberto gave it to me, don't ask me why I took it, you can't let the godfather live with me every day in a dark, dilapidated apartment building." Shall we talk about something?"
"Alberto? Festival killer?!"
"My God." Gordon slapped his forehead and said, "Stupid girl, you can't call Godfather by his name outside, or you will get shot!"
"I'm a bit of a mess!" Barbara looked at Gordon and said, "You really have to tell me about this universe..."
"Sure, but have you had dinner yet?"
"I..." Barbara choked again.
Before she could answer, Gordon stood up, so Barbara looked up at Gordon and said, "Where are you going?"
"Have a barbecue, let's go, I will take you there, but you have to change out of this strange clothes first."
Barbara looked down at her Batgirl uniform, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong with this dress? Isn't it pretty?"
"It's pretty good, but it's a bit too similar to Batman. The barbecue stall owner will think you are that kind of fanatical Batman fan. You know your flesh and blood? This is not very good."
After finishing speaking, Gordon walked to the side of the reception room, picked up the phone, and said, "Hello, Mr. Spencer? It's me, can you send me a set of ladies' clothes? The size is fine, casual Don’t wear dresses... No, no, no, don’t send me a carload of luxury bags! Isn’t it enough to scare a Barbara?”
After a while, Barbara saw a group of gangsters in black suits coming in and handed Gordon a box. Barbara's heart was already in her throat, and she was really afraid that Gordon would leave Ask "how is the product" in a second.
When the box was opened, it was a set of clothes, women's casual sportswear, with a puppy printed on the chest.
After the gang members left, Gordon handed the clothes to Barbara and said, "It's a pity that your mother is working in Washington now, and I haven't completely chased her back so far, so I'm afraid you won't see her in a short time." to her."
"However, I can take you to meet some old friends of mine. I really have to tell them that I was right to send compound text messages at that time. I made a wise decision to save my life-long happiness. , by no means the dying struggle of an abandoned stray dog.”
Barbara's mind is still not clear, but she still took the clothes and went to the cloakroom, listen, cloakroom! Barbara slandered, Gordon's house actually has a cloakroom!
As soon as she walked into the cloakroom, she knew what Gordon said on the phone not to send her a carload of luxury bags. The value of all the things she could see in this cloakroom alone Adding it up, it is estimated that she can buy her old house in the universe Gordon's house and the apartment she is renting now.
Barbara took a deep breath and changed her clothes. After she walked out, Gordon praised: "You are at least ten years younger."
Barbara pulled the edge of the sportswear a little uncomfortable, as if she had returned to the time of the little girl whose clothes were always short, she just followed Gordon out with a dizzy head~IndoMTL.com~sit into a Bentley.
"You look like a full-fledged gangster." Barbara couldn't help but said, "The kind who makes a lot of money by maintaining relationships with gangsters."
"I am."
Barbara choked.
"Otherwise, where do you think the luxury cars and mansions come from?" Gordon said while holding the steering wheel and looking ahead, "They all come from gangsters."
After speaking, he raised his hand to glance at the time, and Barbara gasped immediately. The watch in Gordon's hand should be able to buy his house and the building where her rented apartment is located.
Gordon suddenly smiled brightly, looked at Barbara in the co-pilot and said, "You are really like your mother, guess I asked her to get back together, she saw this when she returned to Gotham In this situation, what did you do?"
"Surprised?"
"What's more, she slapped me, turned around and left."
Gordon turned his head back, sighed softly, turned the steering wheel and said, "I never dared to hope that she really loved the part of me that drove me to Gotham , Some people call it stupid, some people call it justice, maybe it's the same thing."
"Then why would you..."
"I've said it all, it's a social need, and if I let those gang bosses smash two pairs of shoes on the creaking old stairs, they will really demolish that building and build me a manor Already."
Gordon turned his head to Barbara and showed a smile she couldn't understand, then turned his head back again, lowered his eyes and said.
"Ask the lamb will let you know that I did not obey them, but let them go, and what I accepted was not a reward, but a sacrifice."
