Vol 7 Chapter 71: drop out

On the top floor of the Youth Titan Building, in front of the floor-to-ceiling viewing window, Damian in a black dress looked up at the starry sky, following a star in the sky that was not bright, almost invisible to the naked eye, but slowly moving.
That star is the observation tower space station floating in the outer space orbit. Damian, whose invigoration has strengthened his senses, can travel from the surface of the earth to the space station with eagle-eyed super vision.
Dick Grayson, who had changed back to the Nightwing suit, came to the window, stood beside Damian, and said to him as if he had made a lot of determination: "After this joint mission, I will leave the Teen Titans again and recover. Nightwing's code name. I think I'm still more suitable to be a lone ranger... The young Titan is temporarily led by Xinghuo, and please help her. One day in the future, you will be required to take over the duties of the captain..."
Unexpectedly, Damian turned his back to him and interrupted: "After this joint mission, I will also leave the young Titan."
Dick was taken aback for a moment, and said: "You obviously get along well with everyone, and you have gradually integrated into the team. I thought you were very interested in being the captain of the Junior Titans and you have the ability to lead everyone to victory. Why do you want to leave?"
"My fake identity has been exposed." Damian said in a rather helpless tone: "According to the news from Afu, Bruce began to personally investigate my true identity. With his investigative ability, the truth will soon be found out. "
"Then what's wrong? Since it was exposed, I will expose my identity directly in front of him and officially become a new generation of Robin."
Dick Grayson said a little annoyedly: "You have proven your ability in front of him and gained his recognition. He is even willing to lead the Justice League superheroes to support your plan. If he knows you are his My son, will you be very surprised, right?"
"Huh?" Damian turned around, looked at Dick questioningly, and asked: "It sounds like you are a little jealous? Don't worry, I don't intend to inherit the identity of Batman. Be careful of dying or missing, I will support you to put on a bat suit and become a new generation of Batman."
Instead of being soothed, Dick's emotions became even more agitated. He angered: "Do you think I like to be the shadow of Batman? That shadow has enveloped me for too long. I have long wanted to get rid of him completely and find myself. His life is over! Since you are his biological son and are more capable than me in every aspect, why not take on the responsibilities that your blood is destined to bear?"
"I heard Alfred mention that Bruce once said that you are his most optimistic man, the person most likely to inherit his mantle, and more like his son than his own son."
Damian did not answer his question, but changed the subject abruptly: "But I also heard Ah Fu mentioned that when you were my age, Bruce made you suffer a lot in order to train you, not only fierce. I beat you down, forced you to eat dead mice to overcome your fear, and even drove you out of the manor and sent you back to the orphanage after you made a mistake."
Damian dug up the dark childhood history, Dick couldn't help but turned his face black, turned his head and said irritably: "That's all in the past. At that time Bruce was still young, and I was not as talented as you. He was worried that I would die if I went out to fight criminals without training."
"You are obviously not his biological son, but under his influence and harsh training, you have become more and more like him."
Damian said to himself: "Although you are tired of being his attendant and shadow, I believe that once Bruce really has an accident, you will be the first to stand up and wear a bat suit as his replacement. Pin. His assimilation ability and influence and personality charm are too strong. Once he stays by his side for a long time, no one can resist this almost memetic spiritual erosion."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Dick said, "I and other young people who are willing to follow Batman. I respect him because he is doing the right thing, not because he is brainwashed!"
Damian shrugged and said: "But I don't think he is correct. The biggest difference between me and him is that I firmly believe that I have the right to deprive others of their lives. As long as the reasons and methods are right, whoever I want to die will be Gotta die! And he, even if he watched a madman kill more than a dozen children in front of him, he still had to save the madman's life and hand him over to justice."
Dick thought of Master Puppet. He and Batman seized Master Puppet’s secret base, where he saw Master Puppet madly killing and torturing young children, transforming a group of seven or eight-year-olds into cyborgs, even so Batman He still didn't kill the puppet master on the spot to avenge the children, and even tried to stop the puppet master when the claws under the Owl Court sanctioned the puppet master.
For this, Dick also felt that Batman’s principle of non-killing seemed a bit too much, but Damian’s words surprised him even more. He never expected Batman’s own son to be a madman who believed he could dominate the lives of others. There is a huge difference in their ideas.
Damian said solemnly: "Bruce is a very patient and very determined person. He can train an unrelated person like you to be the most like him. Once he finds out that I am his biological son , Will definitely spare no effort to change my mind and shape me into a person like him."
Dick thought about it: "You mean, you are worried that Batman will find out your true identity, you will be caught by him for personal education, and you have to accept the'no-kill principle' he imposed on you?"
Damian shook his head and said calmly: "No, I'm worried that he is too annoying, and I will kill him if I can't help it. He has a principle of not killing, but I don't have one. If I am in a hurry, I will really kill him. He, he can only endure not being cruel to me, he really has no chance of winning in a fight!"
Dick was speechless for a while, silently feeling sad for Bruce to have such a wicked son.
"Batman is too stubborn, not as smooth as I know how to compromise, I definitely can't persuade him to ignore my nostalgia, for the sake of his life, I can only retreat for the time being, let this naive father tolerate."
Damian opened his hand and said, "So, I had to give in and leave the young Titan to hide in a low-key manner, so that he could continue to find me. How about, Brother Dick, brother, am I very filial and considerate?"
Dick smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Don't ask me, your Wayne family deserves to be a top-class upper-class family, and it is really a filial father and son. I really don't understand the natives of acrobats like me."
