[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

Dick dreamed of an event long ago when he was a member of the Flying Graysons and performed on the trapeze with his parents. After each performance, he could hear applause and streamers would float down from the sky and land on him, and then his mother would take them off for him.

Until they fell in front of his eyes, it was Dick's eternal nightmare, and this was not the first time he had relived this scene because of the fear of the poison gas.

In addition, there are those innocent victims who died in Gotham at night, people he failed to save. As a Gotham vigilante, it is normal to have these memories, so he began to be immersed in the darkness. When he found that he almost killed others because of his inner negative emotions, Dick realized that he had become entangled with violence, and perhaps he had begun to lose himself.

He tightly grasped the rope that appeared in his hands at some point, squeezing so hard that his fingers turned white.

"NO..."

Being a vigilante is an illegal profession. No matter how nice it sounds or how many people they save, it is still illegal. They have no power to enforce the law, and sometimes even if they find evidence they cannot bring criminals to justice, and then more victims will appear. So Dick decides to break away from Batman and act alone, and at the same time he enters the police academy. He hopes to use this to recognize himself and see the road ahead clearly.

Little Robin frowned as he watched Nightwing mumbling nonsense, and finally he simply stuffed the handkerchief he had just used to wipe the sweat off his face into his mouth, to prevent Nightwing from biting him or saying something that would reveal his personal information.

You know, Mr. Freeze's head was still next to it, and Harley Quinn was tied up tightly and thrown in the back seat, and the Scarecrow was in the trunk. It would be bad if they heard anything.

But this guy's grip was so strong that it felt like my fingers were about to be broken.

Jason looked at his hand that was being held tightly, and fell into deep thought. Unfortunately, the capacity of his belt was limited, and Jason only brought one antidote when he went out. He couldn't give Dick more help before Batman arrived, so he could only endure it.

He probably knew what Dick Grayson's nightmare was. The Flying Graysons were very famous, and the videos of their acrobatic performances were well stored in the computer in the Batcave. Perhaps in the past, the former Robin had watched those videos countless times to recall his parents.

But Jason never knew what he would see if he was poisoned by the fear gas, because there were so many past events that could become his nightmares, who knows what he would see?

After receiving news from Batman that the matter had been dealt with, Jason drove the Batmobile to a secluded place and waited for Batman to come and pick him up in the Batplane.

Harley Quinn woke up at some point. She looked at Little Robin wiping Nightwing's sweat with a tissue and exclaimed, "Wow, I thought you still hated him. When I called you a fake or number two, you always beat me up really hard."

When not in a combat situation, most of the female villains are surprisingly willing to talk to little Robin. Catwoman says this is because Jason is cute, and his "I'm a hero" aura is not that strong. Instead, his rebellious habits make the villains feel like they are of the same kind.

Maybe Catwoman is right. If Jason hadn't been picked up by Batman, he would have been a born villain.

Little Robin replied calmly: "I don't hate him."

Harley Quinn said, "I don't hate pudding either."

Jason's mouth twitched. "I just admired Robin when I was a kid, ok? Not the same feeling you have for the Joker."

"But you let him rest his head on your thighs. Do you know the saying that's been circulating in Arkham lately?"

Harley Quinn sang: "The Bat family has three treasures: big breasts, a perky butt and long legs. The breasts are the big bat, the perky butt is the one on your leg, and you are the long legs. Many people want to touch the legs of the little robin~"

The second generation Robin has super long legs, and his uniform is those green scale shorts, which basically expose his entire legs. So since his debut, the second generation Robin's straight and slender legs, which are white and reflective under the light of street lamps at night, have attracted countless people's attention.

It is said that some people who witnessed him even made shocking remarks on the Internet that they "bowed to Robin's thigh power", and some gangsters said "I was blinded by his legs and was knocked out without knowing why."

Jason rolled his eyes. “What on earth are you Arkham patients focusing on? And I let him lean on my thighs because you guys occupied the back seat and trunk, so I had no choice but to squeeze in with him like this!”

A voice came from Mr. Freeze's head: "Robin, I don't think Big Robin likes you."

He actually seemed to be genuinely worried that Little Robin and Big Robin wouldn't get along, and it was fortunate that Mr. Freeze didn't care about Robin and drove the Batmobile to knock him far away and cut off his head.

Jason sighed helplessly: "Shut up, you guys are annoying. If you have anything to say, save it until we get to Arkham and tell your cellmates, ok?"

After a while, there was a huge sound of engine approaching here. Jason looked up and thought that Batman had finally arrived. His hands were almost crushed by Nightwing and he couldn't pry them apart.

Fortunately, after Batman injected Nightwing with an injection of antidote, he knew to let go. Then they divided the work. Batman sent the lunatics to report to Arkham, and Jason took the unconscious Nightwing back to the Batcave. After that, he had nothing to do. Alfred would deal with Nightwing, and Jason would be sent to sleep.

The result of not treating the injury carefully was that when he woke up the next day, the hand that had been pinched was extremely painful and his knuckles were swollen. Because of the Arkham riot yesterday, Jason fell asleep late, and it was already noon when he woke up. Jason quickly took out the ointment and bandage to apply the medicine, then quickly finished his lunch, picked up his ice skates and rushed to the school ice rink, and finally arrived at his destination.

The young man did not say that his injury was caused by being pinched by the unconscious Nightwing, because he thought that explaining why Nightwing could lie on his thighs and pinch his hand, including confessing his idol complex, were all very embarrassing things, so it would be easiest to let Alfu and the others think that Jason was injured when fighting with the villains.

Ps: When he got up, Dick was gone. It was said that after waking up, the other party rushed back to Blüdhaven to clean up the mess there. Jason then remembered that he had forgotten to bring the handkerchief back.

There were not many people in the ice rink. Apart from Coach Ed, there were Sunny and her teammates Anya and Lily. It was said that the rest of the people had family members affected by Arkham's crazy revelry last night, so they were unable to come to training today.

Sunny was startled by Jason's bandaged hand.

"Oh my god, Jay, what happened to your hand? Did you hurt it last night?"

Jason blinked and started talking nonsense: "Bruce and I fell when we were rock climbing, and I crushed my hand when I landed."

Coach Ed came over to take a look and shook his head: "I've heard that Mr. Wayne likes extreme sports and always takes his son to play. How come he lets you play such a dangerous sport when he knows you have training?"

Jason apologized embarrassedly. Coach Ed said a few more words, "Athletes must take care of their bodies," and then asked the boy to warm up before training.

When they got home, Bruce seemed unexpectedly free and asked Jason if there was anything he wanted recently.

Jason was stunned for a moment: "No, the pocket money you gave me is enough, and I haven't finished reading the new book I bought."

"You just want books?"

The Gotham darling made a thoughtful expression with his extremely handsome face: "That's all?"

Jason replied casually, "I want to find a ballet teacher. Coach Ed always said that it only took me half a year to train my first triple jump. If I work harder, I can try it out at the U.S. Junior Championships in mid-January next year. But my body posture is not graceful enough, so he hopes I can learn ballet to improve it."

Bruce was a little surprised. He knew nothing about figure skating before, but that didn't stop him from learning the rules of this event thoroughly in just 20 minutes after he knew Jason wanted to skate.

Of course, he also knew what it meant for a figure skater to be able to master a triple jump in just half a year. This meant that Jason was at least a jumping genius.

Of course, a child who can become Robin must have top talents in sports and intelligence, as can be seen from the fact that Jason became Robin after only half a year of training, and was even able to deal with armed bandits, the Riddler, and Mr. Freeze on his own.

Batman was like most parents at this moment, feeling happy about his child's high talent in the special class, and secretly decided to order a few more pairs of the best ice skates for Jason, find the most famous fashion designer to design costumes for Jason, and also want the best dance teachers and choreographers...

"What else? You just want to read and train?"

Bruce patted Jason's head gently, "These aren't suitable birthday presents."

Jason was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly remembered that his birthday seemed to be approaching.

Nine months after coming to the Wayne family, Jason is about to turn 9, and this is also his first birthday in this family.

This was the first time anyone remembered Jason's birthday since his mother became addicted to drugs and Andrea died.

After a long while, the chair was pushed away and the young boy threw himself into the arms of the tall man.

This was a hug. Jason was very defensive and he seldom took the initiative to hug others. Before this, Alfu was the only one who had this treatment, not even Bruce.

He held the thin child in his arms, feeling a little soft in his heart. Jason was very thin and small, and he felt very light when he was held in his arms. When he first picked him up, the physical report was really distressing. He had stomach problems due to hunger at such a young age and was severely malnourished. Later, he had caught colds and fevers many times, and his physical condition was very poor.

But it is such a child who, when facing the enemy, will stand by Batman's back like a little guard, loyal and reliable, and work harder than anyone else.

When Bruce adopted Dick, he was less than 30 years old. He had no intention of taking the position of Dick's biological parents. He got along with the boy as a teacher, a brother, and a father. Jason was the first child he raised completely as a son.

He'd lost his parents in Crime Alley, brought a family back from there, and now, Bruce could feel Jason's heart opening up to him.

Bruce picked up Jason and said, "Okay, let's take a day off tonight, watch a movie together, and then eat the cookies that Alfred and you baked together, and have a glass of hot milk?"

Jason put his arm around Bruce's neck and whispered, "It's two cups. You have to drink too."

Bruce doesn't like drinking milk, but he is willing to set a good example for Jason. At the end of the third "Harry Potter" movie, he carried Jason, who had fallen asleep leaning on him, back to the bedroom. Because Bruce was also very sleepy at that time, he was too lazy to walk a few more steps, so he simply took the child back to his room.

When Jason falls asleep, he curls up into a ball and stays in a tight space, which is a sign of insecurity. Bruce understands that given the child's upbringing, he may not have a sense of security at all.

Even in his sleep he was restless. After a while he frowned and breathed rapidly. Bruce hugged him and gently stroked his thin back. The child's tense body gradually relaxed, and finally he snuggled in Bruce's arms and fell asleep soundly.

That was also the first time Jason truly felt what safety was.

Safe, in Bruce's strong arms and warm chest.

Catherine loves Jason, but she is addicted to drugs.

Andrea loves him and wants to give him a future, but she can't even take care of herself.

Bruce remembered Jason's birthday, trained him to be Robin, gave him hope for a better future, filled his desire for family, and gave him a sense of security. Jason admired him, respected him, and loved him. At this moment, Bruce finally became the most important person in Jason's heart.

Everyone will eventually die. Jason once thought he would die on the streets of Gotham and no one would care about him. Now he has embarked on the journey of becoming Robin. Maybe he will die in battle one day in the future, but at least this time, he has the light.

It would be nice if I could always be with Bruce and be his Robin.
