[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

Tim Drake is 11 years old and a fifth-grade student. His parents are busy with work all year round and never come home. This has made him accustomed to having only a nanny at home during the day and himself at home at night. He still feels a little uncomfortable when his parents occasionally come home.

This meant that no one cared if he sneaked out of the house at night.

He put on an old jacket he bought from a second-hand store and stuffed a knife, alarm, pepper spray, stun gun and other self-protection tools into the jacket pockets for easy access at any time.

Wearing an electronic watch on his left hand, stuffing a few bills into the sole of his shoe, putting his mobile phone into the secret small pocket he sewed in his pants, carrying a backpack with maps and replacement lenses on his back, and hanging a camera around his neck, Tim sneaked out of the house.

Well, actually he just walked out of the house openly, and this was not the first time he did so.

It was already 11 o'clock in the evening, and public transportation had long been suspended. It was not a safe option for a child to take a taxi in Gotham at night. Tim could only follow the well-traveled paths during the day to leave the upper town and reach the more chaotic area of ​​Gotham.

Tim didn't dare to go to the most chaotic places. He knew he had no ability to protect himself in such a place. He could only pray that Batman and Robin would pass by his area while patrolling tonight.

Of course, the place where Tim tracks the vigilante every day is not fixed. As a little genius, he uses his knowledge of statistics to circle out all the places where Batman and Robin, the two urban legend villains, are suspected to have dealt with them.

Generally speaking, the places they have just cleaned up will be relatively quiet within a few days, so they will not go there again in a short time. There are also some places that Tim cannot go to. The places Tim goes to are the places they may pass by during their patrol tonight.

It’s strange that Tim’s view of the first Robin is the same kind of admiration that an ordinary Gotham teenager would have for him, but this is not the case for the second Robin.

Of course he knew that the current Robin was the second generation, because he looked much thinner and smaller than the previous Robin, and his personality was completely different. Even many superhero fans on the Internet knew that the current Robin was a newcomer, and many of them believed that this generation of Robin was more impatient and violent, and not as calm and self-controlled as his predecessors.

But Tim believes that the second generation Robin is not really violent, he just feels sad and angry for those who have been hurt.

The first generation Robin also fights crime and helps the weak, but his help is limited to sending criminals to GCPD (Gotham Police Department) and helping the victims. But the second generation Robin not only fights crime, he also avenges those who are hurt but unable to fight back.

He must have a strong ability of empathy and have genuine, deep sympathy and concern for the people at the bottom of society.

According to the information Tim had found, the second-generation Robin also distributed food and clothing to the disabled, the elderly, and children.

Batman pulls this crumbling crime city towards the light, and the current Robin is the guardian of life.

Tim is a man of good family background and born with high IQ. His parents didn't accompany him often, but they didn't let him experience any misfortune. Tim also knows that his empathy ability is not very strong, but he feels that he is touched by the current Robin, so he begins to chase the other's traces, hoping to explore the truth under the mask.

He had been carrying out this activity for two months, and it was not without results. At least his camera had captured the silhouette of the bright yellow cloak passing over the tall buildings. However, Robin was too fast, and when the photo was printed out, it was just a blur of bright yellow, red and green mixed together.

During this period, Tim always had to go home at one in the morning, and he naturally fell asleep in class during the day. Fortunately, his homework and test scores were still excellent, so the teachers did not ask too many questions for the time being.

Until 12 o'clock, Tim thought he would not gain anything tonight, but on the way back, he was robbed.

Ok, if you walk on the road at night too much, you will always encounter danger. Tim has been lucky for two months, but now bad luck has come to him.

Tim took out the pepper spray and pointed it at the eyes of the big man approaching him. He exerted force with his fingers and the red spray sprayed into the other's eyes.

Accompanied by a scream, Tim nimbly broke out of their encirclement and began to escape at all costs. While running, he quickly observed the surrounding terrain and thought about how to escape.

He knew that he was just a child and it would be difficult for him to outrun the adults behind him.

But then the screams became louder, and there were the thuds of bodies hitting the ground.

Tim subconsciously stopped and looked back in disbelief, his heart filled with surprise.

That's Robin.

Boywonder, Batman's assistant in fighting crime, wears green elf boots, a red and green uniform, and a light yellow cape.

The young man was agile and powerful, and the knife-wielding robbers who nearly caused Tim to fall from the car were defeated in just a few rounds by him, and were left lying on the ground wailing.

After finishing the fight, Robin turned around and walked towards Tim.

Tim stood there stiffly, thinking about how to greet the other party. Little Robin was only half a head taller than him, so the other party was indeed the same age.

Is he going to say, "How are you?" or "Good evening?" or "Thank you?" or "I admire you so much, please give me an autograph?"

Oh my God, Tim found that his smart brain was now a mess and he didn’t know what to say!

Then Robin paused, and he lowered his head to press his ears.

"Yes, I met a child, and I was about to go up to him and ask if he needed help, or send him to the GCPD (Gotham Police Department) to help him find his parents."

Apparently, the other party was talking to Batman.

Tim quickly shouted, "I don't need to go to the GCPD. If I hadn't run into those robbers, I would have gone home by myself!"

Robin looked up at him, nodded to indicate that he heard it, and then lowered his head again.

"He said he doesn't need to go to the GCPD... B, we can't send this kid there against his will. This kid has nice clothes, so he must have sneaked out of a good family to go on an adventure. If we send him to the GCPD, his parents will scold him... I know, but today's night patrol is over, I can send him home."

Finally Robin seemed to convince Batman, and then he held out his hand to Tim and said in a lighter tone: "Are you okay? Where is your home?"

Tim looked through the domino mask and saw that the little Robin had green eyes as clear as lake water.

He lowered his head and stammered, "I, I..."

After hearing the address he gave, Robin was a little bit incredulous: "You live in the upper city? Then what are you doing here?"

"Uh, I want to take a picture of you."

Tim raised his camera shyly: "I promise I will only keep the photos for myself and won't let anyone else see them."

Robin was silent. He turned around and said as he walked away, "I don't have anything to take pictures of. Let's go. I'll take you home."

In the end, little Robin drove a motorcycle to take Tim home. God knows why such a young person can drive a motorcycle. Is the style that Batman taught Robin so wild?

But halfway through the journey, Tim heard the other party say through the communicator: "I know, but I have to send this kid back. I can't just choose to walk, right? And Penny said that my driving skills are great..."

Okay, the case is solved. It’s not that Batman’s teaching style is wild, but that this Robin himself is wild.

When Tim got out of the car, he saw Robin rubbing his smooth, slender legs a few times, rubbing his legs against each other, and his knees were a little red.

Gotham is located in New Jersey. The average temperature in September this year is 9 degrees. Tim also feels that the night wind is indeed a bit cold, but not to the point where he needs to rub his legs to keep warm. It seems that Robin is still a little afraid of the cold?

Tim remembered that the previous Robin could jump around in Gotham in winter wearing green scale shorts.

He raised the camera when the other person turned around to get into the car, and Robin looked back at him sharply.

Tim raised his left hand and swore, "I won't let anyone see this."

The other party was silent for two seconds, said good night to Tim softly, and drove away quickly into the night.

A few days later, the primary school where Tim was studying started, and the teacher took their class to the middle school to visit the learning environment of the older brothers and sisters.

When he entered the ice rink, he saw the legendary second adopted son of the Wayne family, Jason Todd Wayne, leaping lightly on the ice with his hands clasped high, turning twice and landing steadily on the ice.

This difficult posture of raising both hands while jumping is called Rippon. Using this difficult posture in competition can help athletes obtain higher GOE, but it requires extremely high aerial balance and body coordination, so it is difficult to practice. However, Jason Todd performed it with ease.

[When a figure skater performs a jump, as long as the jump is successful, he or she can obtain basic points (bv) and execution points (GOE)]

The elementary school students who walked in couldn't help but exclaim. The boy turned his head towards the sound, his eyes stayed on Tim for a moment, then turned back to his own training.

The leading teacher introduced to the children: "Our middle school ice rink is 60 meters long and 30 meters wide, which is the size of a competition rink. We have Ed, who once won the bronze medal in the U.S. Championships, and Rick, who won the silver medal in ice dancing, as head coaches. Since the establishment of the figure skating club, they have won three gold medals in ice dancing in the youth group of the U.S. Junior Championships for the school, and have sent 3 outstanding athletes to the national team."

Tim understood that this figure skating club was obviously stronger in pairs and ice dancing, while the level of single skating was not outstanding, but he was sure that Jason Todd should be an exception.

The reason is simple. Robin, who can fly over Gotham at night and beat up a group of criminals, naturally has physical fitness, coordination and balance far beyond ordinary people.

Tim lowered his head and smiled. Through computer technology, information collection, and the intelligence he got from close contact with Robin, he finally knew who the other party was.

The eldest son of the Drake family decided to learn about figure skating as soon as he got home.

In the evening, Alfred drove Jason to a dance institution not far from the school and walked into the hall with Jason.

A red-haired beauty came up to him, leaned over to Jason and asked gently, "You are Jason, right?"

Jason nodded and responded, "Hello, ma'am."

The red-haired beauty laughed. She put her arm around Jason's shoulders and said in a slightly hoarse but sexy voice, "Just call me Natalia. Come on, kid. I'll take you for a trial lesson."

The guy at the front desk nodded to Ah Fu and said, "Yes, try a class first. If the child is interested, he can come to class every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 18:00 to 20:00."
