[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

Jason came to the sand dune again. The child was still curled up there with his eyes closed. Even if he didn't open his eyes, Jason knew he was not sleeping well.

He leaned over and took the child into his arms.

Jason probably knew what Damian's nightmare was, because the ones who killed him were none other than Talia and his clone Leviathan.

He was also killed by his mother.

Jason had never thought of telling Damian about their deeper relationship. After all, they had no real blood connection, and letting Damian know about it would only add to the child's troubles. You know, ever since Jason had affairs with Dick, Talia and Tim respectively, the relationship in their family was already messy enough!

A child should not have two mothers or two fathers. A family with one mother and one father is normal, regardless of whether his parents have separated or not.

Jason had never considered himself as Damian's mother or father. He was not the type of person who would treat a child as his own and shower maternal love on him just because he had been in his womb.

Even when he was Najim, he viewed Damian more as... someone who changed his life. Damian's mere presence had already given him a lot.

Talia once asked Jason to be Damian's teacher, but Jason always thought that he learned more from Damian. He gained unprecedented peace because of Damian, understood what selfless love is, and the concept of dedication was clearer than ever in his heart.

He loves Gotham, but only after learning how to love Damian did he truly understand how he should treat Gotham.

Damian is Wayne and Aug. He inherited the talents from his parents, but in Jason's eyes, Damian is just Damian, a very proud child whose efforts and character are worthy of this pride.

There are not many children in this world who can have the knowledge of several doctorates and the fighting power to beat up Gotham villains when they are only in their teens. Damian died to stop the crime. Although the criminal was his mother, Jason was proud of him because he was so outstanding.

He was already looking for his own path, and Jason felt that Damian was better than himself at the same age, because when he was the same age as Damian, he was still stealing tires in Crime Alley and had no idea what he would do in the future.

Such an amazing and beautiful life should not be interrupted so early.

"I always believe that you will achieve something, but no matter who you become in the future, you are... very important to me."

When he opened his eyes again, the Batplane had already arrived in the Middle East. They were going to break into the League of Assassins and put Damian into the Lazarus Pool.

This represents a battle, but given that the entire Batman family is attacking, many friends from the Justice League have also come to help. Even Jason, who once stayed in Europe and fought with politicians, has joined the battle, and the Assassin's League cannot stop them.

In the midst of the fierce battle, Jason saw Talia and waved to the rest of the bats.

"You guys take Damian to the Lazarus Pool first, I'll deal with her."

Tim looked at him and followed Batman without saying a word, while Nightwing stayed behind to scout the enemy.

Talia stood not far away holding a knife, looking at him with a gentle look: "My dear, you are more handsome than the last time we met."

"Thank you, but you look a little haggard."

"You don't look very energetic actually... Have you missed me? I can get you excited quickly, right, ex-wife?"

Talia said, raising the knife meaningfully, Jason looked calm.

"Talia, stop making dirty jokes like a bad middle-aged man. It's greasy."

Dick, who was listening: "..."

He could see that Talia was trying to flirt with Jason, but Jason just responded directly.

Talia's expression also changed: "You are still so ruthless when you speak. Hasn't being in politics taught you how to communicate with people?"

Jason still had no expression on his face. "Considering that there is a little kid still lying in a coffin waiting to be resurrected, and my family often does things that make people angry, I am furious right now, and I am not in the mood to use words to make others feel happy when talking to me."

Dick added from a distance: "He never deliberately says anything to please people outside of work!"

Then Jason and Talia said to Dick at the same time, "You have none of your business here!" and then they started fighting.

Talia thought Jason was just mad since she had just killed her son not long ago, but she soon realized that Jason was serious about dealing with her. He even used magic. If the knife in Talia's hand had not been an anti-magic weapon, she would have been trapped by Jason.

Of course, having an extra weapon only helped her hold out a little longer, and as Jason pinned her to the ground and tied her up with magic chains, Talia taunted, "What, you want to capture me, too, and throw me into Arkham?"

"I just want you to live more soberly. If I hadn't been unable to find you before and I had a mission to accomplish, I would have come to deal with your problem a long time ago."

Jason said as he cut his finger and drew a spell on her forehead with his blood.

"I have always missed you, Talia. Even if it has nothing to do with love, I still miss you from time to time."

He took off his red hood, leaving only the Domino mask on his face, and Talia could see those familiar green eyes.

Najim had always looked at her with such eyes, which were full of tenderness and love, but now there was a complexity in Jason's eyes when he looked at her.

She turned over with difficulty, lying on her back and looking into Jason's eyes.

"You are pitying me. Do you think I will regret killing Damian? Then I can tell you that no one in the Aug family will regret anything they do, even if it means giving up family affection for ambition."

Jason whispered, "I know, that's why we're separated."

Peeling off the fig leaf of "side effects of Lazarus Pool", the real conflict between them is the difference in these concepts.

He stood up and left. Talia looked at his back. A severe headache came over her. She covered her forehead and groaned softly.

It hurts so much. What kind of curse did that boy put on her?

Jason thought that when he reached his destination, he would be able to see the touching scene of Batman holding his resurrected son, but when he ran to the Lazarus Pool, he only saw a sonic boom channel.

Jason was very familiar with this thing. After all, when Darkseid invaded the earth many years ago, he also participated in the counterattack and closed one of the sonic boom channels.

And now, a psychopath from Apokolips has taken Damian's body for unknown reasons.

Jason was so furious. He had gone to so much trouble and even left the opportunity for Damian's resurrection to Batman, but he couldn't even take care of a corpse!

He asked Tim in a low voice: "Where's Batman?"

Tim thought that Jason could explode at any time, so he chose his words carefully.

"He went to the Justice League. I guess he wanted to activate the Hell Armor and open the passage to Apokolips to get Damian back. You know, he only wants to bring Damian home now."

"Humph!"

Jason sneered. Well, now everyone knew that Jason was furious.

It was wrong to vent one's anger on others, so when Lei Xiao and Leviathan appeared to attack them, Jason showed no mercy. Amid everyone's exclamations, he pierced Leviathan's chest with the Great Caste Blade.

You have to know that the superheroes who came this time were either from the Batman family or the Justice League. No one killed anyone, but Jason directly killed them. This is a bit too much.

Leviathan's mask fell to the ground, revealing a face that looked like the adult Damian. He stared at Jason's face intently and actually laughed. Gradually, the laughter became louder and louder.

"You love him, right? Even though his existence has caused you so much pain, you still love him!"

Leviathan coughed up a mouthful of bright red blood, and he remembered everything he had done after knowing that Damian possessed the Breeder.

Perhaps because he was born a clone, he did not have such extravagant hopes as “What if Batman was my father and Talia was my mother”, but he did have thoughts like “What would it feel like if I could stay in the womb for ten months and then be born like a real life”.

He watched the experimental videos, yes, the experimental videos of Jason Todd being brainwashed when he was resurrected, as well as the experimental records of him being implanted with embryos after being brainwashed.

He had seen the still slender boy's desperate expression as he looked at the news projection that Batman had a new Robin, and he had also seen Nijim sitting quietly on the windowsill, his hands and feet painted with henna, reading a book peacefully with a slightly bulging belly.

Because of this person's existence, Damian became unique to Talia, so she gave Damian a "childhood", took them traveling to Hawaii, and even let Najim leave a tape before he "disappeared".

After Talia went crazy because of the Lazarus Pool, the protection of the tape was no longer strict. Levitan secretly listened to the tape, and then he actually shed tears.

Since he came into this world, no one has ever loved him so sincerely, purely and unconditionally.

"You all like him, but if I was the embryo chosen, you would like me too. He is just lucky, and he is never irreplaceable."

Jason looked down at him, and Levitan actually saw an emotion called compassion in those turquoise eyes.

The Blade of the Great Caste was slowly pulled out, and Leviathan knelt heavily on the ground, covering the wound on his chest. He felt the burning magic blade pressing against his left temple and cutting a wound down to his chin.

Jason's blade carries the power of fire, so as long as he wants, he can burn the opponent's wound when attacking others. Leviathan smells the smell of barbecue at this moment.

It will definitely leave scars.

"Damian is Damian, he is unique and irreplaceable."

Jason did not deliver a fatal blow to Leviathan. Instead, he looked at Leviathan, reached out his hand, took a vibranium dagger from his waist, and turned to leave. Leviathan subconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes, but Jason did not even pause. He shook off his hand and continued to walk away.

Jason asked Nightwing and Red Robin: "Do you think Batman can successfully take out the Hell Armor this time and go to Apokolips?"

Nightwing and Red Robin answered his question at the same time.

Nightwing: "The success rate is not high."

Red Robin: "They are the front line of the Earth facing alien forces. If we allow Batman to go to Apokolips to face danger, or even lose his life, it would be irresponsible to his comrades and the safety of the Earth. I don't think other people will support Batman."

In terms of understanding of the Justice League superheroes, these two people are certainly better than Jason. Upon hearing this, Jason nodded and opened the portal.

"I want to go back."

As he spoke, Jason stepped into the portal. Nightwing seemed to understand something and followed him quickly.

"Wait, let me get a ride too."

Tim followed silently.

After returning home, Jason immediately took a shower and ate, then sat on the sofa, opened a small golden light circle, took out an iron can from it, unscrewed the lid and took out delicious pork jerky.
