[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

Unexpectedly, after Damian was resurrected, he did not go to find Jason immediately, but first cared for and looked after the old bat brother who had to lie in bed for several days because of the backlash of the Hell Armor in order to save him.

Because he was resurrected by the chaos fragments, Damian gained short-term superpowers. Before the "aftereffects" of resurrection disappear, he will be equivalent to a little superman, so Damian also used his superpowers to find his group of deformed clone brothers and placed them on an uninhabited desert island.

The first time Dick saw Damian sitting by Bruce's bed and peeling fruit with a butterfly knife, he almost thought there was something wrong with his eyes.

He later whispered to Barbara, "I almost thought I saw Jason."

Jason also once sat beside Bruce's bed, with his head down, peeling fruit with a Robin Dart, his lowered eyes full of concentration, the lines of his profile clean and with a child's unique softness, quiet and peaceful, yet one could seem to hear the sound of a vague light.

Anyone in the family who is familiar with Jason thinks that Jason and Damian are surprisingly similar in some ways, but their personalities are actually completely different and each is unique.

Barbara nodded in agreement, and then she sighed: "Jason and Damian both have dangerous qualities, but they are actually very good people."

It's just that she didn't realize this when she was young, so she rejected Jason, and when she grew up, Jason was gone. This is probably why many people in the family can tolerate the relationship with Damian, who is even more ruthless and arrogant than the young Jason.

They made a mistake once, they can't make it a second time.

If Jason had come into this family after they had all grown up, he would have suffered less grievances. Whenever Barbara thought of this, she felt very guilty.

After experiencing death, Damian has matured a lot. Dick, Barbara, Bruce and Alfred are all heartbroken about this. They even miss Damian's little expression when he was rebellious and willful.

By the time Bruce was able to get up, Christmas was almost here, and Jason sent all the Christmas presents he had promised to the manor. Anyway, everyone in the Bat Family received a present.

Last year Jason also sent gifts at Christmas. At that time he was still in Latvia, so everyone received a bunch of Eastern European specialties. This year, the gifts Jason sent were all alien specialties.

By looking at the gifts Jason sent, you can tell where his main workplace is in the near future.

The only exception was Damian, whose gift box contained several gray-blue woolen hats, including his own, as well as pet hats in sizes suitable for Titus (a Great Dane), Alfred (a black cat with white gloves), and Bat-Cow.

The child put on the hat and complained: "You obviously don't like wearing woolen hats, but you still give them to others as gifts."

Dick, who was sitting next to him opening presents, smiled and said, "Yeah, he always complains that wearing sweaters and woolen hats can easily generate static electricity, but he and Bruce have worn the same style of woolen hats before."

At that time, Jason was still a child who was attached to his father. He would hold Batman's cape affectionately, raise his head and chatter, so lively that people wanted to touch his hair.

There are still two days before Christmas. Tomorrow night is Christmas Eve, and the day after tomorrow is Christmas. Ah Fu has already started decorating the house in advance and bought a very tall Christmas tree. The chandelier on the ceiling is also surrounded by colorful ribbons, and the festive atmosphere is strong.

At this moment, Wayne Manor received several express deliveries from Talia. When they opened the big cardboard box, there was only a USB flash drive labeled "toBat" and a tape labeled "tobabe".

Dick said: "The only one in the family who is called babe is Damian. It seems that the tape is for Damian."

Tim took the email to do some checks, and then Bruce opened the USB drive on the computer, which contained some documents and videos, neatly arranged in folders according to numerical titles.

He opened the first document, which contained some English text, which said that Talia had been completely sobered up by Jason's spell and had gotten rid of the side effects of the Lazarus Pool. She did not regret what she had done, but still wanted to do something to compensate some people.

And, she wants Bruce to know some truth.

[I think you need to know this, Bruce. As Jason's ex-husband, even though we've broken up, I still can't stand the way you treat Jason.]

Next was a PDF file, which was Jason's physical examination report when he was resurrected. It was shocking to read, as the report showed that Jason was only a step away from death.

Then there was a brainwashing video, in which we can see that Jason had been resisting the brainwashing machine. He had a strong will, until Talia grabbed his head and asked him to watch "Batman already has a new Robin, he won't come to save you", and then he lowered his head dejectedly, as if he had given up on himself.

Tim's hands shook when he saw this, and he opened his mouth: "Jay never told me this."

During their relationship, Jason never said whether Tim's existence had caused him such pain.

Dick's usual smile was gone.

"He won't tell you."

How many times has Jason been scorned for taking over the Robin uniform? So once his sanity is restored, he won't let his successor suffer the same pain he did.

Then there are the files on the "Super Soldier Training Program," which contain information that explains the true relationship between Jason and Damian.

Bruce and Dick were both frightened by the document. Tim was okay. He just carefully read Jason's pregnancy report and found that his vitality was constantly being consumed by Super Soldier Serum 3.0. According to these reports, Jason should have died a year after giving birth to Damian.

They also went to Hawaii. In the penultimate video, "Najim" was running on the beach holding Damian, who was still a little boy. He looked full of energy, and Damian, who was in his arms, screamed excitedly.

The second to last video in the USB flash drive seemed to be a secretly filmed video. In the video, Jason was sitting in a rocking chair holding Damian, who was still a baby. He was humming "Think Of Me" with his clear voice that had not yet been ruined by the bat darts. Damian was sitting on his lap and stretched out his little hand to touch his lips.

The singing stopped and Najim took Damian's hand and kissed it, pointing to his mouth.

“mouth.”

Damian followed softly: "mouth."

Then the camera pans and Talia's voice is heard, speaking in Arabic.

"Are you teaching him to speak English?"

Najim looked up and nodded: "Well, Dami is very smart. No matter what, he can learn it as long as he is taught once."

They started chatting. After being brainwashed, Najim became sunny and lively, with a hint of innocence, the kind of happiness that only the second-generation Robin who had the best relationship with Bruce could have, but he also showed his sharp and sober qualities from time to time.

Talia talked to him about how to make the base of the Ten Rings disappear, and his remarks were always to the point, with a sense of justified ruthlessness and toughness.

From youth to adulthood, time has sculpted him from the lonely and sensitive second-generation Robin into the mature and sharp man he is today. Even though he has lost his memory, his talent will not disappear.

While the two adults were talking, Damian leaned into Najim's arms, holding his thumb with his little finger, his eyes opened and closed, gradually becoming sleepy, and he yawned a little, which was a very normal posture of a baby clinging to his mother.

The conversation ended only when he whispered "I want to sleep" softly. Najim changed the way he held him so that he could sleep in his arms, and Talia sat next to them.

The singing started again, and when Damian closed his eyes, the young man looked up at the person who came, tapped his lips, and said the word "mouth" again, which was a teasing of youth and immaturity.

What old man in the world could stand the temptation of such a young man? Old houses are usually ignited by such fires and then burned to ashes.

Thalia chuckled and leaned in to kiss him.

The last video was actually a black screen the entire time, with only sounds coming from time to time. They heard Lei Xiao's decision to brainwash Damian, and Jason asked Talia for a promise. At that time, he seemed to have recovered his memory as Jason.

He asked Talia to promise him, "If Damian wants to take a different path from you in the future, even if that path is different from what you have planned for him, please give him a chance to choose his own life."

Talia agreed, Jason said thank you, Talia replied "No, I should thank you".

She apologized to Jason for all the misfortunes and sufferings she had brought to him, and Jason said, "I forgive you." At the end of his life, he chose forgiveness and love. When he loved Bruce, he expected a response from his father, but when he loved Damian, he didn't even want anything in return.

The world has not been kind to him, but he has always been gentle to the world, and the love he gives has always been pure and firm.

The contents of the USB drive finally ended, and there was silence in the Batcave until Bruce picked up the tape.

Dick reminded: "Bruce, that's Damian's..."

With a click, the tape was put into the machine, and the voice of the young Jason sounded. His voice was still very nice at that time.

[Damian, it is May 2009, 5, and you are almost one year old. I don’t know how old you will be when you hear my message, maybe you will be older than me (laughter).

My name is Jason. I was your babysitter before you were one year old. From your father's side, you can call me brother. This recording is my will, but I prefer to call it a return gift, a gift I leave behind in return for everything you have given me.

I really want to tell you how I grew up to be who I am today, so that I can add some experience to you through my life, but then I thought about it, my life is filled with a lot of not-so-good things, I am not a very good person, and there are no advantages in me that people can learn from. In fact, I have learned more from you.

I used to be a terrible person. I made a living by stealing for a long time until your biological father adopted me. He was an admirable man. He gave me a home, a job, and the opportunity to go to school. Even though I only spent three years with him, the length of time can never determine the depth of love. I can say that I love him more than anything else.

But I really wanted too much at that time, to the point of greed. He had given me a lot, but I wanted more. I hoped that he could love me as much as I loved him. I was sensitive and anxious because of this, and did some wrong things, which caused a lot of regrets.

It wasn't until you came to me that I learned how to love someone for the first time. You taught me that love does not require return, and I gained pure joy and true peace from it.

I firmly believe that you are the most precious gift fate has given me. Although I don’t deserve your arrival, I am grateful that you have accompanied me through such a wonderful time.

You are a fearless and wonderful child. You will probably face many things in the future, but no matter who you want to be, a Wayne, or an Aug, or take any other path, you are Damian to me, the boy who changed the rest of my life. No matter what you want to be or what path you take, I will always love you.

I sincerely hope that you will always be healthy and happy. 】

Damian's footsteps were heard, Bruce turned around and saw Damian walk to the operating table and take away the tape that belonged to him.

No one knew when this kid arrived at the Batcave or how much he saw and heard. Ever since he gained super powers, he has become elusive.

Bruce called out, "Damian."

Damian turned around with a puzzled look on his face. "What's wrong, father?"

"……No."

Damian said "oh" and took the tape back to his room. He put the tape into a tape recorder, put on headphones, sat on the windowsill and quietly looked at the sunlight outside the window.
