[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

Perhaps humans are really very resilient creatures. Even if half of the people on a planet are missing, the government will still call for resumption of work and school at a certain time.

There is no other way. If we don’t work, society cannot function. We can’t just be busy being sad and give up on living.

After Jason looked at Peter and Harry's admission letters and found out that one of them was studying at Columbia Business School and the other was studying journalism, he kicked them both out of class.

The two children were reluctant at first. One was thinking about his heroic career, and the other said he wanted to manage the family company. Both of them didn't want to go to school. But after Jason punched them on the head and scolded them, they still obediently carried their schoolbags and rolled into the campus.

After all, there is more than one superhero, Spider-Man. Whether there is one more or one less, the workload of the adult vigilantes will not be reduced. As for Harry, he already has a reliable manager to fight with other shareholders with bad intentions and protect Harry's rights at all times.

Even though the world is cruel and filled with sadness, Jason still wants to protect them and let them live the life they deserve at this age.

After knowing Jason's gender, Peter never asked to sleep with him again, and Jason didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, Peter knew to be discreet and keep a basic distance from the opposite sex, which was a gentlemanly and polite behavior.

This child is really cute.

However, in early October, when Jason returned home at three in the morning, he saw a small spider curled up on the sofa.

The child was almost an adult, and had grown to be about 1.75 meters tall. The sofa was too small for him, and he was covered with a blanket. Axel sat on the floor next to the sofa with his knees hugged. When he saw Jason, the little bear raised his head and waved his paw as a greeting.

Jason was silent for a while, then he checked his phone and found that it contained another piece of information from Katie about a suspected magical incident. The Sorcerer Supreme sighed secretly, raised his hand, a golden halo appeared, and Peter landed on his bed in the bedroom.

He pinched Axel's ear, "I have to go to Michigan tonight to take care of things. Axel, there are sandwiches in the fridge. When Peter wakes up, remind him to heat them up in the microwave for breakfast."

Xiongxiong nodded obediently, and Jason hugged Orange, who came over to act coquettishly, and whispered, "Lingxing has taken the newcomers of Tianjian to work on the alien planet. It will probably take two days for them to come back."

Now that they are short of staff, Jason has to bring his cat out to work. Of course, he pays Lingxing a salary. He even uses his connections to get a salary card for Lingxing the cat.

After explaining everything, Jason hurriedly opened the portal and left.

He was also convinced by the villains. It was obvious that half of the people died randomly, and it was difficult for normal people to return to normal life. How could these guys still persevere in causing trouble?

It seems that we still have to take drastic measures to deal with them severely.

After finishing a day's work, Jason turned on the projection screen and chatted about business with other friends. Ms. Marvel was in the universe, but she was also paying attention to the affairs of S.W.O.R.D.

Rocket complained: "Do you think your dark circles are heavier than mine?"

Jason: "Because I was forced to take charge of a bunch of things that shouldn't be my business, is it great that a raccoon is born with dark circles under his eyes?"

Rocket: "Yes, I am amazing!"

Jason covered one of his eyes and said, "Ok, when I'm done with this, I'll go back and have a good sleep, and the dark circles will go away automatically."

Cyborg said sincerely, "Jason, from my personal experience, once a normal person is over 25 years old, it is no longer possible to get rid of dark circles under the eyes after a good night's sleep."

Jason, a normal 26-year-old, had to admit that he was right.

"I can sleep with the eye mask on! I'm ordering one now!"

Carol comforted him: "Relax, young man, you still look very young. I mean, you don't even have fine lines around your eyes. There's no need to be nervous."

Jason: “But my dad only started to get some fine lines when he was almost 30!”

His father was called Gotham's ageless baby by the media before he was forty-five. He didn't look out of place when hugging a twenty-year-old supermodel. Everyone, including Dick, aged very slowly and was still very charming in his thirties. Jason didn't care about his appearance, but he didn't want to age faster than his father and brother.

Really, it’s enough that they have Tim in their family, a man who works so hard that his hairline recedes and stays up so late that his face looks haggard.

"And one more thing."

Wonder Woman looked at Jason and said, "Your brother, Nightwing, handled a case in Bludhaven. As a policeman, he shot and killed a robber."

Jason was stunned: "He...he shot the robber dead? Are you kidding?"

Wonder Woman nodded solemnly: "I just found out about this as well. Your family should have informed you as well."

As soon as she finished speaking, the communicator on Jason's waist rang. He stiffened for a moment and exited the group chat.

Rocket was puzzled: "Hey, isn't it normal for robbers to be killed by the cops? What's wrong with you guys?"

Wonder Woman shook her head, and Cyborg calmly explained, "In Jason's family, except for Jason, no one else kills people, including his brother who is a policeman. But now, he has broken his rules."

Jason learned about this from Tim, who said, "Jason, Damian and I are in Gotham, and I don't think Dick would want to hear us talk to him about this."

Jason asked them, "Did Barbara try to call him?"

"Before notifying you, we tried to contact him, but to no avail. If you are free, I hope you can communicate with him."

Jason smiled bitterly: "You expect me to do something that even Barbara can't do?"

"Don't think too little of yourself. In his heart, you are always special."

"Okay, you don't have to say these words, I will go find him."

Jason was already very tired, so he went home first, walked into the bathroom, buried his head in the sink, and poured cold water on his head.

He knew this was not good for his health, but he really needed to wake up.

After a while, the water in the pool increased and covered his face. Jason closed his eyes and the cold water soothed his tense nerves. Then someone pulled him up with force.

He saw Peter's angry face. The kid yelled something at him, but Jason couldn't hear what Peter said. He frowned and asked.

"what are you saying?"

Peter froze. He helped Jason sit on the sofa, heated up the sandwich he had prepared for him and brought it to Jason. He also poured him a glass of water, then sat next to him and looked at Jason carefully.

Jason sat there a little dazed, then he seemed to remember something. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a moment, and then opened his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I was cursed when I was fighting a demon from another dimension. This will affect my recent mental state. Just give me a few days to recover."

Jason thought that he was stimulated by Dick's news just now, so there was a gap in his tense heart, but it was okay, he felt that he would not lose control because of this.

He has been through a lot, so he has a strong character. Even when faced with a bunch of bad things, he is only mildly depressed. Although he is often depressed and feels suffocated, and his insomnia is so severe that he needs to take sleeping pills, he knows that he will get better.

Peter pushed the food in front of him worriedly: "You eat first."

Jason hummed, "You eat this. I want to eat something else."

He got up and went to look in the refrigerator. He hadn't gone shopping for several days. Although he had made a shopping list, he didn't have time to buy anything. The refrigerator was empty. Jason took out a slice of cheese, opened it and stuffed it into his mouth, then took two slices of bread and an apple.

He didn't bother to heat up the food and stuff it into his stomach. After taking a few bites of food, Jason said to Peter, "I have to go to my brother's place. Something happened to him. Can you go to school after breakfast?"

Peter stood up: "Jay, you can't work like this anymore, you need to rest!"

"I know. After I finish chatting with my brother, I will come back to sleep. Maybe I will borrow a room from him and sleep there."

Jason put on his coat and opened the portal to Bludhaven. Peter wanted to chase him, but the golden halo disappeared in front of him almost instantly. Even Spider-Man couldn't catch up.

Peter paused where he was, then turned back and muttered to Axel: "Should I...should I do something?"

The figure of the little spider was reflected in the little bear's clear eyes. After a while, Axel handed Peter a shopping list, which recorded some words about vegetables, meat, and high-end cat canned food. In addition, Axel also stuffed a few bills into Peter's pocket.

Even though Axel is just a bear, Jason will give him money on time, and it is a combination of cash and online transfer, so that Axel can buy whatever he wants by himself, which is equivalent to pocket money.

Before Tim broke up with Jason, he thought that Jason gave Axel too much money. A bear who didn't go out usually didn't need $8000 in pocket money a month, but Jason still insisted on giving Axel so much.

After all, when Bruce was raising Jason, he had 2000 pocket money a week. Dick said that Jason was the child with the most pocket money in the family, probably because a half-daughter was particularly precious. At least Dick himself never got so much pocket money. Tim himself had Drake's property and salary as president, and Damian was the heir to the Aug family who owned oil fields, so he cared even less about pocket money.

Peter took the money carefully, his face firm: "I will buy these back."

Because he was worried about something, Peter didn't even listen carefully to the principal's speech at the beginning of the school year. But he saw that everyone around him started crying after hearing it. Obviously, the beginning of the school year was not a particularly hard day, but everyone looked like they had just attended a funeral, and the atmosphere in the auditorium was bleak.

Peter could understand them. After all, he was like that before. But he had realized that he was a superhero. While too many people were still immersed in misfortune, there were already many superheroes who were starting to support people in the post-disaster world. Peter hoped to join them, or at least not fall behind.

So he left school early in the afternoon and did not apply to join the photography club he wanted, or sign up for the football team, even though Columbia University's football team had risen to become a top team in the college football world since Jason's generation.

He bought a bunch of things in the supermarket and took them home, just in time to see Jason lying in the toilet retching.

Peter was startled, put his things down and ran to Jason: "Jay, what's wrong with you?"

Jason gulped down some water and spit it out, then stood up and sighed helplessly: "Don't mention it, I didn't have a good conversation with my brother, so I beat him into the hospital."

He rubbed his stomach and said, "He punched me in the stomach, so I felt a little uncomfortable. I will be fine after vomiting."

Overall, Jason still had the upper hand. Dick was worse off than him, having to lie down for nearly three days. Peter's face gradually darkened, and at this moment he decided to ignore the gender gap and forcibly pulled up Jason's shirt and took a look at his stomach.

There's a bruise on it.

Peter gritted his teeth, pulled Jason to the sofa, said "Sit still" in a stiff voice, and turned to look through the medical box.

Jason looked at his back, lowered his head and looked at his hands. There was blood between his fingers. It was Dick's.

He leaned back on the couch, thinking about their unpleasant conversation and Dick's state of mind.

Jason whispered, "Mulin, go to his dream and accompany him for me, okay?"

The blue jay cried softly, then flew out from his heart and flew off in an unknown direction.
