[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

Jason stood in front of the mirror, holding his neck.

There used to be a scar there from a batarang, but after being with Bucky, those scars left in Jason's heart gradually faded.

In addition, speaking for mutants also requires a good image, so he went to the hospital for scar removal surgery.

Removing this scar is also a way of telling myself to embrace a new life from now on.

But it was all thanks to Bucky that Jason was able to get rid of his obsession with the past and slowly begin to feel free, because Bucky was able to let go of hatred and not be controlled by it. In addition, as Jason's studies deepened in college, the situation also changed, so he was able to become what he is now.

He loved him so much and wanted to protect him.

Jason lowered his eyes and clenched his fists.

Just yesterday, the fight for mutants' rights finally came to an end. Professor X, as a representative, signed the document with the government, and Katie also successfully took over as the new representative. Jason's mission was over.

So he could finally go looking for Bucky regardless of the consequences.

Jason took a deep breath and didn't even have time to spend on the work handover. He just sent a message to Katie, telling her that if she didn't understand anything, she could call him or ask Kurt to take him there directly.

Katie replied with a text message - I wish you success in bringing your boyfriend back [thumb.jpg].

That's why he said Katie was his good brother.

Jason took off his suit and threw it on the ground, changed into Kevlar, covered with a leather jacket, put on tactical boots, put on a universal belt, and was about to go out with a determined look on his face.

Just then, someone rang his doorbell.

Jason paused, turned around and opened the door, and saw a man standing at the door wearing a Latvian court dress, with a serious expression and a straight back.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Jason Todd's home?"

Jason was secretly on guard, and replied calmly, "Yes, what's the matter?"

Strange's voice rang out.

"He is your teacher's guard officer."

The guard saluted Jason, turned around and raised his hand: "Your Majesty is waiting at the embassy, ​​please."

That was the first time Jason met the political teacher that Gu Yi had contacted for him before his death. The other party's identity was surprising, but reasonable - Doctor Doom, Victor von Doom.

Looking back, Jason once ruined the other party's business (the good-evil reversal incident), and when Jason won the IMO championship, His Majesty the King also presented him with an award. Unexpectedly, time flies, Doom's nemesis Mr. Fantastic retired, Doom himself concentrated on being a king, and now they have the fate of master and apprentice.

Doom looked at Jason and nodded. "It can be seen that your magic power is growing very fast and the power in your body is very full, but you can still go further."

"Originally I didn't want to accept you as my student because you were someone who wouldn't be constrained. But your help to the mutants this time impressed me."

"You have learned to be patient and hypocritical. I believe that this period of hardship has given you a deeper understanding of human nature. Your master's thesis is also good."

Doom was holding his cane, with a scar on his unmasked face, but it did not detract from his handsomeness. King Doom has always been one of the "old-school handsome guys" touted by the European media. His unique elegance, toughness, top wisdom, and his unquestionable reputation and power in his own country have made people talk about his deeds with relish.

They chatted for a while. Dum was the honorary president of the University of Latvia and also had the title of professor, so they had an interview.

Jason had a lot of ideas, and Doom was also a very thoughtful man. The two looked at each other and felt satisfied.

"I will arrange study abroad procedures for you, and you will study with me as my doctoral student."

Dum said this and raised his hand: "I remember you seemed to have something to do before you came? Now you can go and do your business. Get it done as soon as possible. I won't wait for you too long."

Jason nodded, wondering what he should do with his boyfriend once he got Bucky back.

Bucky's residence in Gotham has not been revealed yet, so it's safe to take him home, but since he's going to study abroad, why not take Bucky with him to Latveria?

It just so happens that the main people chasing the Winter Soldier are Mi Lijian. After all, there are too many people who want to study super soldiers. But if they are in Doctor Doom's territory, the safety index will be higher.

Ancient One once told him that if there was no Time Stone, she and Doctor Doom would be evenly matched in a fight, which means that Doctor Doom would not need any serum enhancement at all, and that big shot who was proficient in both magic and technology would still be as strong as a bug!

However, when he saw the latest intelligence, Jason was stunned. Wait, why was Bucky going to Gotham?

He scanned the intelligence again and his face changed. Bucky was actually the one who killed Tony's parents... Because of this, the Avengers had already made an uproar. Under this situation, Bucky not only did not leave with Captain America and Prince T'Challa, but instead set foot on the land of Mi Li Jian again, and went to a dangerous place like Gotham.

What on earth is he going to do?

Jason decisively opened the portal to Gotham, but as soon as he landed, he found the city was in chaos.

He looked expressionlessly at the street full of passers-by laughing crazily, and complained: "What's going on? Those crazy people ran out of Arkham again?"

If Tim were here, he would probably sigh that Jason's judgments about Gotham are always correct.

When Tim first received the news that the Avengers were fighting in Gotham, he couldn't help but say, "Are these people crazy?"

Everyone knows that Gotham is Batman's territory. Without his permission, any foreign superhero will be killed by this city's tough villains, and Batman will yell at him to "get out of my Gotham".

Even the big Kryptonian blue guy is no exception.

If you dare to come to Gotham to cause trouble, you must be aware of how powerful Batman’s plan B is.

But this time the Avengers really didn't give Batman any face and started fighting directly at the airport. The prince of Wakanda wanted to take Bucky away with the captain, while Tony was determined to keep Bucky and hand him over to the Milton judicial system for trial.

In fact, everyone was right, but no one was willing to back down. After they arrived in Gotham, the lunatics in Arkham took the opportunity to make trouble, and a prison break carnival began again.

Thanks to these lunatics, the Batman's family is busy bringing the criminals back to Arkham and protecting the people, and has no time to care about the infighting among the Avengers at the airport.

Jason originally wanted to go directly to the airport, but when he saw those ordinary people being harmed, he had to grit his teeth. He didn't even wear the red hood. He just put a domino mask on his face and threw himself into the rescue.

His abilities are really suitable for saving people at times like this. If Jason ignores these people because of personal feelings, he will definitely regret it for a long time later.

After saving two streets of ordinary people, he had a fight with the Penguin who ran out. To be precise, Jason relied on his magic advantage to beat up the conscienceless fat penguin. During this time, Damian appeared from nowhere and helped Jason kill the minions next to him, and then stepped on the Penguin's belly again and again.

Jason took a breath, took out his communicator and asked his AI butler: "Friday, what's the situation at the airport? Are they still fighting?"

The AI's beautiful voice reached Jason's ears: "Sir, the Avengers' battle is still going on, but Mr. Barnes has left the battlefield and there is no trace of him in the surveillance."

"What will he do after leaving the battlefield?"

Jason was so angry that he kicked the Penguin in the stomach. But because of his weight and the anger he was feeling, the force of his kick was almost as strong as Damian who had four times the strength.

The penguin screamed again, thinking that he was so unlucky. He finally got to go out and play, but he ran into two of the most aggressive robins.

Might as well go to the clown on the next block.

At this moment, a gunshot rang out in the distance. For some reason, Jason had been numb to similar sounds since he arrived in Gotham and participated in the gunfight at the airport. But at this moment, he felt a throbbing in his heart.

He hurriedly said to Damian, "I'll leave it to you here," and ran towards the direction where the sound came from.

There were many ordinary citizens fleeing in panic ahead. Jason went upstream in the crowd and was a little surprised to find that although most of those citizens were injured, some of them looked happy.

What are they rejoicing about?

Then he saw Bucky.

On the bustling streets of Gotham filled with the smell of gunpowder, Bucky stood there, his iron arms reflecting the cold light, holding a gun, his body covered with wounds, and a murderous aura. But he smiled when he saw Jason.

With just this smile, he is the handsome and charming little prince Brooklyn. There is a cut on his forehead and blood keeps flowing down. He wiped his forehead with his sleeve and the blood stained his clothes red. His eyes were always on Jason and he was smiling all the time.

Ten meters behind him was the clown's body lying on the road. It was obvious that he was killed by a large-caliber gun at close range. Half of his head was gone. He was dead.

But Jason only glanced at the body and turned his attention back to Bucky.

He opened his mouth and asked dryly, "You...returned to Gotham just to...kill him?"

Bucky walked forward, cupped Jason's chin, kissed his forehead tenderly, and hugged him again.

"Jay, you won't have nightmares anymore."

The source of the nightmares that have plagued you for so long has disappeared from this world forever.

Jason was so immersed in this hug that he almost forgot why he came to Gotham. If there was a time when he felt most at ease after being killed by the Joker, it was this moment.

It was really strange. He didn't feel safe when he held the gun in his hand, and he didn't feel that he would never get hurt again when he learned magic. But when Bucky was hugged, he felt that nothing in the world could hurt him anymore.

When Tim learned that the Joker was dead, his first thought was disbelief. His second thought was that Batman would be angry, because today's Gotham was in a mess due to outsiders, and the Joker was dead again. This was simply the biggest provocation to Batman who did not kill.

But when he got there, he saw the man who killed the Joker hugging Jason and patting his back.

Watching that scene, Tim seemed to understand something, he walked over to Batman and Robin standing in the corner, and asked hesitantly.

"them……"

Damian crossed his arms and replied calmly, "They have been dating for more than a year. I told you, Todd's current lover is much better than his previous two."

"So the reason why Barnes was so persistent in coming to Gotham was because of the little wings."

Nightwing's voice sounded from behind. Tim turned around and saw the big blue bird jump down from the building behind and land lightly.

"I thought B would be furious about this, but I didn't expect you all to look so calm."

Batman paused, "Why should I be angry?"

He took out handcuffs and walked over there. When Jason saw Batman, he subconsciously wanted to take Bucky to open the portal and leave, but Bucky grabbed him and shook his head at him.

Bucky said to Jason: "I deserve this. If you take me away now, we will both be wanted criminals."

Jason looked at him blankly: "Then let's be wanted together. Let's go to a place where no one knows..."

"Don't be stupid."

Bucky tapped him on the head, then offered his hand and smiled at Batman.

"I came back to face everything in the past. No matter how the law judges me, I will accept it."

……

A lot of things happened on this day. The most intense civil war since the establishment of the Avengers broke out and the team was almost on the verge of a split.

The Joker died on the streets of Gotham at the hands of James Buchanan Barnes.
