Chapter 5 Bruce Enters the Orphanage "I need to explain to you the rules of traveling through the heavens first." “Whenever we arrive in a new world, the laws of the world will arrange a birth for you based on your situation. “This is to make it easier for you to move around in this world without arousing too much suspicion. "Don't worry about it, just accept it." Katum stopped at Bruce's shoulder and explained to him everything that was happening. But Bruce still found it hard to accept. "You mean, this arrangement is most suitable for my status?" "That's right!" is it? Bruce stood in front of the iron gate of the building, confirming again and again that he was not seeing things.
This is an orphanage. "I'm not an orphan!" Bruce protested, unable to bear it any longer. "I have Alfred!" "Don't tell me that. I didn't arrange your identity for you. If you feel that your fragile dignity has been hurt, you should protest to the world." Katum said indifferently. He looked at the name of 'Wu's Orphanage' and knew what kind of world he was in. The world of Harry Potter. Wu's Orphanage is also well-known in the Harry Potter world. Because it has an outstanding alumnus named Tom Riddle. Katum glanced at the newspaper on the roadside. The time now is 1991, the timeline where the original story begins. This means that the world is still relatively peaceful now, and even if there is chaos, we will have to wait a few more years. Little Bruce will not encounter any life danger for the time being while growing up in such a world. Katum was still haunted by what happened in the Tunnel of the Heavens. He came to this conclusion immediately when he first came into this world. "Barbatos will not give up." Katum maintained his image and reminded Bruce in a nonchalant tone. “As the Lord of the Dark Universe, he is bound to the DC world, but that doesn’t mean he will give up on you. "If my guess is correct, he will choose to send DC characters to your world and capture you back." Little Bruce was very confused at the time: "Why are you arresting me? I don't even know him!" "I told you that you are the most important part of his plan. Just know this and don't ask about anything else." The reason why Katum didn't say anything was because the truth behind this was not something a ten-year-old child could bear.
This will subvert Bruce's worldview and severely undermine his belief in becoming stronger in the future. In the original comics, Batman's life trajectory was almost entirely designed by the Bat God Barbatos. Including the death of Bruce's parents. Barbatos's purpose is to make Batman's body a portal to open the Dark Multiverse into Prime Earth. And when Katum took Bruce away, it was like he rushed out of Barbatos' house and carried the door away with him. How could he possibly give up? The pursuers who come to capture Bruce will definitely come. They may be criminals from Gotham, or super-powered villains, or even Batman himself from a parallel universe. Anyway, the stronger the world Bruce lives in, the stronger his pursuers will be. The Harry Potter world is considered a low-magic universe, and the safety factor is relatively good. Bruce is a man who keeps things to himself. Katum didn't want to say more, and he didn't have the strength to force the question, so he simply didn't ask any more questions, just thinking about finding out the answer slowly later. The most important thing now is to integrate into this new world. crunch-- Bruce pushed open the iron gate of the orphanage and walked straight in. Passing through the big iron gate, there is a bare courtyard. Behind the courtyard is a square, old building surrounded by high railings. Wu's Orphanage will be demolished next year and an office building will be built on the site. Therefore, there are not many people living in it now, and the whole orphanage has a gloomy and old-fashioned atmosphere. Bruce muttered: "Good, I have begun to hate this world." Katoom followed him and flew into the orphanage, looking around and came to the conclusion: "It feels a bit like Wayne Manor." Bruce did not refute this. To him, the Wayne Manor without parents was indeed like a huge tomb, just like this orphanage. Bruce walked up the steps leading to the front door, and before he could knock, a middle-aged woman in an apron came up to him aggressively. "Bruce!!!" She yelled in frustration, "Where have you been? I told you someone would come find you today! And you always have to run around on your own!" Find me? Bruce felt confused. He had just come into this world, how could someone look for him? But before he could refute, he was pulled into the front door by the nanny. Bruce turned around and wanted to ask Katum for help. But he found that the other party had already flown to the mailbox, not caring at all about what happened to him. Bruce was finally pulled away.
Katoom really doesn't care what's going on, this is the way the world has arranged itself and is helping Bruce complete his identity. There's no need to intervene. This arrangement is completely random and sometimes brings some unexpected surprises. Even if it was finally discovered that Bruce was Voldemort's illegitimate son, Katoom wouldn't be surprised. "Cuckoo-" As Bruce was pulled into the building, the surroundings became silent. At this time, an owl slightly smaller than Katum landed on the mailbox and stood with Katum. There was a letter in its paw. Katoum took a look and saw that it read "Wu's Orphanage, to Bruce Wayne." On the back of the envelope there is a wax seal, a shield emblem, and a capital "H" surrounded by a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake. The little owl tilted its head, not understanding why there was already an owl standing here. Isn't the task of delivering the letter assigned only to it? Katoom turned around and looked at the little owl. Both sides were silent, and in the eyes of the two owls, there was only each other's figure. Suddenly, Katum flapped his wings and slapped the little owl off the mailbox at lightning speed. "Where do you think your mother is?" Katum cursed, "What kind of class is this? You're standing in the same mailbox with me." …… "Mr. Bruce Wayne, right?" In the director's office of the orphanage, two men in suits were holding a stack of documents in their hands and constantly comparing them with Bruce in front of them. Bruce frowned. He really didn't like the feeling of being scrutinized; it made him feel extremely insecure. This situation did not last long. One of the men quickly put the information down with a confident expression. "Can't be wrong!" He said this and then smiled warmly. The attitude towards Bruce changed 180 degrees. "We finally found you, Master Wayne!" "Ok?" Bruce's frown deepened.
what's the situation? How come he became a young master again? (End of this chapter)
