"Meet them on the street? Which street? How can there be such similar people in the world? Even the temperament and demeanor are just a glance." Bruce murmured.
Harry sat cross-legged on the blanket, patted her thighs, and said angrily: "Hey, I really regret not taking a family photo, otherwise there would be more similar people."
"What do you mean? Isn't it similar? Where have you been?" Bruce trembled.
“Aren’t you a Gotham detective? What came to mind?” Harley smiled.
“Heaven?” He said softly with hope and anxiety in his voice.
“Today is Christmas, I’ll give you a gift before it gets dark.” Harry said with a smile.
There was an obvious hint in these words, and Bruce was excited.
“Tell me, have you met my parents in heaven?”
Hearing his voice choked up, Harry stopped joking and said directly: "That's right, I was wandering on Paradise Street and met your family.
Not only do they have photos, but they also took a video. They have something to say to you and will send it to you in the evening.”
Bruce’s voice was hoarse, trying not to shout loudly, “I want it now, give it to me quickly, I want to know if they are doing well.”
“Uh, good, really...”
Hallie is a little embarrassed. She used to be very good, but now...
“The video needs to be edited and processed.”
Cut out the miserable scene of your parents throwing themselves on the street.
"I want to see the original version, Harley, I really can't wait." Bruce said eagerly.
“Don’t be hasty, don’t be hasty, I’ll cut it now.”
After saying that, she hung up the phone and opened the video, "Richie, help me take care of it."
“What are the requirements?” Richie asked.
“Cut out the scene where Mr. and Mrs. Wayne fainted, and add appropriate background music.”
Rich said: "I think it is most appropriate to have no background music. The sincere words of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne do not need any noise interference."
“Hey, then you have to modify the picture so that Bruce can see that it has been processed.”
“Well, how about adding some prelude? Take some beautiful scenes from other shots you shot and put them at the beginning and end to make the audience relax.” Rich asked.
It was not easy to go to heaven. Of course, Halle not only took videos of the Waynes and his wife, but she also left video records of many scenery and scenery that were so beautiful that they could be used as tabletops.
“You figure it out, I’ll go out to have breakfast.”
Harley heard the busy sounds outside and guessed that Ivy had also gotten up and started making breakfast.
…
“Harry, give me the video quickly!”
Before breakfast was finished, Bruce rushed into the living room with an anxious face and panting.
He was wearing a jacket and driving a sports car, and he was identified as Young Master Wayne.
“What video?” Ivy put a piece of fried egg into her mouth and asked doubtfully.
Hallie took out her phone, saw that the editing was completed, clicked send, and said casually: "Have you had breakfast? Do you want a drawer of steamed buns?"
“Thank you, I don’t want to eat it now.”
Bruce quickly took out his mobile phone and clicked on the video. The familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar couple came into view, and he burst into tears.
“Dad, mom...”
“Bruce, I’m really happy today. I’m happy to see you grow so strong. I’m happy that you have a beautiful and considerate girlfriend. I’m happy that you have found your own path...”
Thomas choked up on camera, and Bruce burst into tears off camera, "Dad!"
"What is it? It makes people cry." Ivy leaned her head over, and Bruce quickly slapped her away, "Go and look at Harley's phone."
After saying that, he pressed pause, ran outside the house, sat on the steps, and watched silently, crying silently.
He repeated the four- to five-minute video more than ten times. After Ivy started watering the flowers with a kettle, he wiped his face and returned to the living room.
“Harry, thank you, this is the best Christmas gift I have ever received in my life. However, isn’t the video too short?” he said without saying anything.
"Why is it short?" Harley felt guilty, but her face showed no signs of it. "What they said to you was very complete. They love you and want you to love yourself. Having said that, what else do you want to hear?"
“No,” Bruce pointed to the landscape shot at the end of the video, “If you have the time and the inclination to take pictures of these things, why not take more pictures of their daily lives, or just chat with them.
It’s not like you only said these few words in the video, right?”
It was a rare chance encounter. If the couple didn't rush to the street, she really planned to go to their house and shoot a documentary for at least half an hour.
“We talked a lot, but there were so many videos, because at the beginning, I didn’t think of recording a video. By the end of the chat, seeing that they missed you so much, I was ready to ask them to call you.
In the end, Gotha... was standing on the side watching the show, an angel in a GCPD police uniform. He refused to make a phone call, so he finally took a video."
“What did you talk about?” Bruce looked at her eagerly.
At this moment, he just wanted to know more about his parents.
"Oh, show them your photos, the news... didn't your father say you are strong? If you don't show them your photos, how will they know you are strong? And tell them, how have you lived these years?
." Harley said.
Bruce frowned and said, "Can your mobile phone receive signals from the earth even in heaven?"
“Hey, I can’t receive the signal, how can I make a call?”
Bruce made a note on the "Harley Notepad" in his heart, and then added: "My father said that I found my own path, and my mother said that I became the Dark Knight... What does it mean?
"
“Isn’t it obvious? Of course I told them that you are Bateman, or do you think you should hide your identity from them?”
Bruce expressed a twitchy expression, "What's their reaction? I think their tone is a little strange."
“Well...” Harley smiled strangely, “Because I showed them Bateman videos on the puppy website.”
Bruce's heart skipped a beat and he forced a smile: "You definitely won't show them those messy things, right?"
Harry chuckled and said, "Look at the up character's 'Batman that can't fly'."
Bruce gritted his teeth and said: "No need to read it, I know him and his video, I want to send him a lawyer's letter, together with the puppy video!!"
He blushed when he thought about his parents watching those videos.
Too shameful.
When he thought about his parents' worries again, his face immediately darkened.
"If you want Bateman's devilish video to be posted all over the Internet, just post it. Besides, there is no lawsuit in Gotham that I can't win. Have you never heard of Gotham Pizza Hut?" Harley said disapprovingly.
Bruce looked at her accusingly, "Harry, you are going too far. How could you show that kind of video to my parents? They have already gone to heaven, and you don't even understand how to let the dead rest in peace?"
“Don’t underestimate your parents. Do you know their status in heaven?”
Bruce quickly asked with concern: "Are there classes of people in heaven? Are my parents doing well?"
“Very good, much better than Superman’s dad.”
“Why is Joel involved again?” Bruce was at a loss when he heard this.
"It's not his biological father, it's -" Harley suddenly stopped, "By the way, do you know Superman's true identity?"
Bruce's eyes flashed slightly, "I would say I don't know to other people, including Superman."
Harley understood, "You are not the first person to be concerned about the situation of your loved ones in heaven. I also asked Superman about Jonathan Kent's situation earlier.
Jonathan, like your parents, originally joined the party and was expected to advance further.
In the end, Superman beat the Archangel Uriel, causing his father to be demoted and dismissed from office.”
“I don’t quite understand, what is the promotion of joining the party?” Bruce asked doubtfully.
“Enter the training class, learn Godism, Jesus thought, and Michael theory, obtain an official position, and become the manager of the heavenly city. When your consciousness improves, you will have the opportunity to become a big shot like St. Peter.”
"So that's it..." Bruce looked happy, "This makes me feel relieved."
Then, his expression quickly changed, and he worried: "If I do something in the human world, will I be like Superman and implicate my parents?"
“Don’t think too much, you don’t have the ability to hurt those top archangels. Except for the top bosses, ordinary angels don’t have the ability to put small shoes on the believers in heaven.”
“Is Gabriel considered a high-level person in heaven?” Bruce asked.
“He is the highest after Michael.”
“Then you beat him to a bloody head last night?”
“Hahaha, all my relatives are going to hell, how can he wear small shoes for me?” Harley laughed proudly.
The corners of Bruce's mouth twitched. This kind of confidence... is too confident.
“Even if my parents are able to bear it, you shouldn’t show them videos like that. That’s unfair to me. The ‘wingless bat’ is blackmailing me.” He sighed.
“I also showed your parents the video of the up owner ‘I want to make Batman’s Batwing’, you can search-”
Taking a glimpse of the relaxed and joyful expression on Bruce's face, Harley knew he didn't need to search anymore.
This sultry guy must often watch puppy videos, otherwise he wouldn’t be so familiar with his anti-fans and idiot fans.
“Not just you, but also videos of other superheroes, and super criminals you face.
After watching those videos, they are very worried about your safety.
But only by understanding your situation in detail can we get to know you more truly now, rather than the son you imagined." She said.
“Harley, thank you, you are thoughtful. Combined with the context of what my parents said in the video, I feel closer to them.
They are not empty symbols representing parents, they are my parents!
I think they must have the same idea." Bruce sighed.
Some of the words in the video are difficult to understand without considering the context in which they were said.
I watched the videos ten times before, and it was better to listen to Harry at this time that the scene was deeply touched.
Harley asked: "Can you get out of the shadow of Crime Alley now? This is probably the biggest problem for your parents."
Crime Alley is the alley where his parents were killed. It was not originally called Crime Alley. After the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne, it became a notorious Crime Alley.
Bruce smiled brightly, "Before today, Crime Alley was the biggest shadow in my heart, but now it is completely brightened.
In a few days I will buy that street and build a monument.
I think I will go there often, it is the place closest to my parents.”
Speaking of this, he looked at Harley eagerly, "Harry, can you let me talk to them on the phone?"
Harley said with an unprecedented sincerity: "It makes so much sense that heaven does not allow mortals to interfere with the rules of believers. I used to not believe it, but now I completely believe it."
