[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

Jason's class teacher, Mr. Martinez, is a particularly good teacher. He pays attention to each of his students, teaches them knowledge with all his heart and helps them grow healthily.

So he naturally noticed that Jason Todd Wayne did not join any interest groups or participate in extracurricular activities.

Bruce received a call from Mr. Martinez and talked to the kind teacher in charge for half an hour about the necessity for children to participate in group activities.

In fact, Mr. Martinez had already talked to Jason first, but Jason didn't take his words seriously.

The child feels that his extracurricular activities are already very rich. He has not yet finished reading one-tenth of the books in the Wayne family library. He usually exchanges cooking skills with Alfu, receives training in the evening, and watches movies and listens to music before going to bed.

He has a rich taste and is interested in all kinds of cuisine. The same goes for reading. He likes classical literature and youth literature. As for movies, he can enjoy romantic films like "The Notebook", "The Piano Lesson", "Forrest Gump", "Toy Story", "The Godfather" and so on. There are even kung fu films and special effects films, but his favorite is documentaries. As for music, he can listen to both "Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto" and Eminem's rap.

By the way, he also started teaching himself guitar. Isn’t this a healthy and fulfilling teenage life?

So when Bruce talked to Jason about this, Jason gave the same answer, leaving Bruce at a loss for words. In the end, he could only say, "I hope you can make more friends your age, Jason. Your teacher told me that you still haven't memorized the names of all your classmates except the class monitor."

Jason looked away awkwardly and replied hesitantly, "I didn't mean to do that. I promise I'll remember everything soon."

Based on Bruce's understanding of the kid, Jason's answer basically meant that he would forcibly memorize the names and basic information of his classmates by comparing their photos and names within a day.

My God, Dick made a lot of friends when he was in school, and was super popular with girls. He couldn't stop laughing and making noises all day long. Jason was also very energetic, but he was obviously lacking in interpersonal communication.

At this time, Bruce did not understand the truth that "no matter how many children you have, each new child will bring new and unexpected problems", but he had already experienced it.

Compared with the above problems, after Jason became interested in machinery, with Alfu's connivance, he dismantled the TV, refrigerator, air conditioner and other electrical appliances he could touch. Such trivial matters were no longer a big deal. Bruce had money anyway, so he could just buy new ones.

But Jason always took Bruce's words to heart, and he began to think about making new friends, although he still didn't know what to do.

Jason Peter Todd Wayne, from his name we can tell that his original caregiver intended to raise this intersex child as a boy.

The reason is easy to understand, because men are more suitable for survival in Gotham than women, they are less likely to be raped and robbed, and it is easier for them to find jobs and get higher salaries than women - the equal pay bill for equal work for men and women has not been passed nationwide in the United States until now, which shows that certain problems exist everywhere.

Catherine had always told Jason that he was a boy, but before he went to elementary school, Catherine told him not to go to the toilet with others, and to go to the toilet cubicle no matter whether he had to go to the toilet or not. Even under very poor conditions, she rented discs for children's anti-sexual assault education, both for boys and girls.

He knew that he was a freak, and subconsciously he didn't want to have too close a relationship with anyone, and he didn't want the same thing as Ivan to happen again. However, Bruce took action. He hired some sports teachers for Jason. In addition to football, which Jason had already learned in physical education class, Bruce found him tennis and equestrian coaches, and also took him to watch baseball and football games.

Bruce thought that if Jason was willing to continue studying, he would definitely join a sports club and then naturally make friends through them.

Jason was unaware of any of this, he just thought that Bruce probably thought that as Robin he should know more about sports (the child's logic, he trusted Bruce, so he would find good reasons for all of his actions), so he accepted every course and absorbed everything he could learn like a little sponge.

During the baseball game, Bruce shared a bucket of popcorn with the kid. Jason seemed to be in a good mood and even leaned against Bruce and excitedly talked to him about the amazing home run, but he had no intention of learning more about these sports.

My father’s little plan did not come true, but fortunately the relationship between father and son has improved, so it can be considered a gain.

The turning point came at the end of the semester when Jason and his classmates were invited to visit the middle school, and he went to the school's ice rink.

Did he mention that Andrea was also from this school? Andrea had learned figure skating before. She could do a double A, but she couldn't do a triple jump. Her level was not good enough to participate in professional competitions and win medals. In addition, her family fell into poverty and figure skating was too expensive, so she couldn't continue skating.

Jason showed interest in skating, so he borrowed a pair of spare skates from a senior student whose feet were close to his (the skates of the male seniors were too big for him) and went on the ice for a skating.

The next day Bruce gave him a new pair of ice skates, and then the Wayne family donated money to the school's ice rink and made a major upgrade to the rink's equipment.

Jason originally just wanted to skate around, see the place where Andrea grew up, and reminisce about the past. He had no intention of really cultivating a hobby for skating because Andrea had already told him that skating is a skill that one must learn at the age of four or five, and most figure skaters start learning at the age of four or five, and may not even achieve good results in the end. There was only one genius who started skating at the age of 12 and achieved good results, and that was Johnny Weir.

Since he can't skate to a certain level, there's no point in practicing this, and Jason prefers confrontational sports.

Unfortunately, Bruce reacted too quickly, and before Jason could react, he found himself a member of the skating club.

[Mushroom is an ice fan, and his favorite sport is figure skating, so I added figure skating skills to Jason, and boys who practice figure skating all have perky butts, cough cough...]

Well, since Bruce said so, Jason simply accepted the reality of having to go to the figure skating club for two hours after class every day.

In fact, joining this club did help Jason make new friends, but the process was really not pleasant. If possible, Jason hoped that this had never happened.

Figure skating is an artistic sport, so the average appearance is on the high side among sports. There are several beautiful girls with good figures in Jason's club. They are not as active as the cheerleaders, but they all have good personalities. Jason helped them move things several times during club activities, and they would bring him some drinks and snacks, and the relationship between the two sides is pretty good.

The most beautiful girl is called Sunny. She is only one year older than Jason. She is quiet and shy. In addition to being a member of the figure skating club, she also participates in the painting club. She participates in the figure skating club on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and paints on Tuesdays and Thursdays. However, her attendance rate has been a bit unstable recently. Sometimes, on the days when she should have participated in figure skating, she chooses to stay in the studio.

Club leader Meryl is optimistic about Shanni taking over her position, so she took the initiative to pick her up at the beginning. But recently Meryl couldn't practice jumping, so she and another boy who also couldn't practice jumping went to prepare to practice ice dancing (figure skating is divided into four events: men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dancing, among which ice dancing emphasizes expressiveness and lifting), so she became busy.

So Meryl started asking other people to call Shanni. Jason was the only junior student in the club (one who joined the club with money), and the seniors would not ask him to do many things, but there were exceptions. Once he came in early, and Meryl asked him to help run errands to remind Shanni not to miss today's event.

So Jason went to the studio while asking around, and happened to see Sunny's work today.

There was a large area of ​​red and a black snake on the drawing paper. Sunny was staring at the painting blankly with red eyes.

Jason knew what that meant. When he was a child, he was almost raped for the first time. Although he stabbed the bastard in the vitals with a knife to save himself, and Katherine immediately took him away from there, Jason had nightmares for several days afterwards. In his dreams, there were large red and black snakes.

After becoming Robin, he had learned some relevant knowledge and knew that if a child or teenager suddenly changed his or her temperament, or if red, fire, snakes, and other things appeared in his or her paintings, it might be that something bad had happened to him or her.

Jason originally planned to remain silent, tell Bruce when he got home, and then put on a mask to solve the matter at night, such as beating the bad guy who attacked the girl and sending him to jail.

Jason would have done just that if he hadn't seen Sunny pick up the box cutter and look increasingly suspicious, but he chose to walk over instead.

Little Robin, who had a bad temper, was always burning with anger, and was much more ruthless than his predecessor in dealing with criminals at night, tried to keep his voice as soft as possible.

He said, “I had a dream like that, too.”

Sunny was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Jason, tears streaming down her cheeks.

She cried and said, "No, it's not like that, I didn't..."

Not everyone who has been violated is willing to let others know what they have been through. Jason understands this mentality, just like when he had to tell Bruce that he had stabbed the pervert who touched his thigh with a knife, but he never said that his pants had been ripped open by his father, or that if Katherine hadn't rushed over and hugged him and shouted "Willis, he's your son", something bad might have happened. He also never said that before stabbing that pervert, he had first raped a disgusting middle-aged man who stripped naked in front of him.

Jason stopped two meters away from Sunny and replied gently: "I haven't told anyone what I've been through, but now I'm telling you, so you don't have to worry that I will tell your secret."

He almost made it clear to the other party that he had taken the initiative to hand over his handle to her in order to gain her trust.

Sunny calmed down. She stared at Jason blankly, turned around and threw the utility knife on the ground, sneering: "What do you know? What else can you know? You are a beggar adopted by the Wayne family. It's normal to encounter any dirty things in the downtown area..."

She mercilessly poked Jason's sore spots with all her hatred, obviously venting her negative emotions. Jason accepted it calmly. He always knew how others viewed him, but due to the Wayne family's face, those people would not say that in front of Jason. But he was so sensitive, it was impossible for him to really not notice anything.

Even if he is really hurt by these things, and he always appears to be a bit hot-tempered, impulsive and irritable, but in fact, when he is really hurt the most, he tends not to show these things.

Honestly, Jason was quite impressed by the fact that this girl, who couldn't even utter swear words fluently, could speak those heart-wrenching words for a full ten minutes without pausing.

Until the end, Shanni covered her face and cried bitterly: "That man is my father's boss. He has such a good relationship with our family. My father will not believe me."

Jason squatted there and listened to her crying. Until he was sure that she would not point the utility knife at her throat again, he asked Sunny whether she wanted to take a leave or continue to participate in today's club activities.

Sunny said she wanted to take a leave, so Jason also took a leave and personally sent her home. He couldn't help the girl much with his identity as Jason, but he promised Sunny that he would never tell anyone. With a channel to talk, Sunny obviously felt much better.
