[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle
Chapter 173 Chapter 173
On the day Tony and Pepper got married, many people who were supposed to attend the wedding did not go. Some of them were turned into ashes by the snap of fingers, and others were unable to attend, such as Jason.
Peter didn't know what Jason was doing outside, so he asked Rod quietly, but Rod just told him not to mind his own business. This made Peter feel bad because Jason was his family, but when everyone else knew the truth, he was the only one who was kept in the dark.
The little boy puffed up his cheeks, but even when Pepper threw the bouquet and it hit him on the head, Peter wasn't very happy.
He didn't know that when he turned around, Rod whispered to Tony: "You didn't tell Peter either?"
Tony's mouth twitched: "What?"
Is it true that Jason seized the opportunity and stabbed several old money families in the upper class society in the most painful places like a sharp knife, causing them to suffer heavy losses and bleed profusely?
What Jason is doing now is putting his head on the line, and no one dares to do this except him. Even though now is a good time to deal with some people, the first bird to stick its head out will be shot at, and the leader is always the one who is easy to die. Jason dares to take the lead and stand up, which is enough to make people praise him as "not caring about his life".
But it is also because of this that even though Stark, like Wayne and Osborn, supports what Jason is doing now, Jason will still not attend Tony's wedding, because if he comes, Tony's wedding may not be able to be held safely.
These are all things that are not suitable to be said to Peter. Even Tony may not understand politics as well as Jason does. After all, not everyone has accumulated a lot of experience in political struggles in their past lives.
Although Peter complained, he still went to the supermarket on the way home to buy ingredients, preparing a healthy and hearty dinner for Jason who was always busy outside.
He doesn't live with Jason now, but Jason doesn't mind him rubbing the sofa at home occasionally. For this matter, Jason even replaced all the sofas in the house with larger ones that are large enough for an adult male to lie down.
There weren't actually a lot of luxurious things in Jason's house. The most expensive thing was the custom-made Hästen mattress in the bedroom, but Jason didn't have much time to lie on it. Instead, Axel and the cats spent a lot of time sleeping on it.
As for meals, Peter often eats dinner with his three cats: Axel, Orange, Sierra, and Luca, because it is too lonely to eat dinner alone at home.
If Jason had nothing else to do that day, he would join them for dinner, but he cooked less frequently than he used to, so Peter began to quietly learn how to cook.
When he returned home that day, the lights were still off in the room, but Peter saw bloodstains on the floor. He was shocked and quickly ran into the bedroom following the bloodstains. He saw Axel had just packed up the medicine box, and Jason had a bandage on his upper body, lying quietly on the bed. There were two dimples on his thin waist, and the exposed skin was pale and bloodless.
Peter squatted down carefully and called out, "Jason, are you still awake?"
Jason responded, turned his head and looked at him with a slightly lazy smile: "Did you have a good time at the wedding today? I saw the photos you sent to my phone. Pepper looked really beautiful today."
Peter replied softly, "Yes, she is very beautiful, and she is three months pregnant. It is said that it is a girl, and they plan to name the child Morgan."
"Morgan? Nice name."
Jason moved, his brows slightly furrowed, he took a breath and whispered, "Peter, I want some water."
Peter quickly went to pour a glass of warm water, and when he came back, he saw Jason pulling out the red diamond pendant from the necklace.
"No wonder I feel so uneasy."
Peter held the cup of water in front of Jason with a straw on it. Jason praised him for being thoughtful, took two sips through the straw, and then lay back down.
Peter half-knelt beside the bed, and the two of them talked about Tony and Pepper's wedding. At the end, Peter asked, "How did you get hurt?"
Jason laughed when he heard this question: "I pushed some people into a corner. They couldn't find a reason to attack me openly, so they had to resort to underhanded tactics."
"Those upper-class people probably never expected that one day they would be so afraid of a person. It was this group of people who plunged Gotham into long-term sin and brought misfortune to so many innocent people. Then they claimed to be good people, saying that they usually do charity and adopt orphans. Before going to prison, they cursed me as a devil..."
Jason's smile sounded sarcastic, yet also sad. He finally wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, then leaned back on the pillow tiredly, blinking slowly as if he was sleepy.
Peter sighed, covered him with a blanket, found a rag to wipe the blood that had begun to dry on the floor, unpacked the bouquet, put it in a vase filled with clean water, and placed it on Jason's bedside table.
This was a fight that was destined to be brutal, but Jason had been accumulating strength for a long time, and he had an incredible amount of evidence and information to deal with those people, some of which was obtained with the help of Professor X. So this time, although he suffered a lot of injuries during the opponent's counterattack, it was generally smooth.
At least he achieved his goal and dealt with the people he wanted to deal with.
When Jason woke up the next day, he found that he had a fever. Peter came in to take his temperature and brought in porridge.
Jason was helped to sit up, and he ate his breakfast slowly while leaning against the pillow. Apart from the injuries on his body, he felt quite comfortable. Peter moved a chair and sat beside him, and asked him seriously if he wanted to go to the hospital.
Jason decisively replied, "No." His wound had been treated yesterday, he had taken the necessary medicines and received the necessary injections. He didn't want to go to the hospital.
Peter didn't force him and went out to make a phone call. The door connecting the bedroom and the living room was not closed properly, so Jason could hear the child's voice intermittently.
Maybe the excessive blood loss made his brain a little dull. After listening for a while, Jason realized that Peter was asking for leave from school.
Spider-Man is a good and well-behaved child. When he lived with Aunt May, he was not the kind of middle school boy with a second-year syndrome that made his parents worry (although the fact that he became a superhero was enough to make every parent worry). He could do housework and repair water pipes and electrical appliances.
Naturally, he is also good at taking care of people. After Uncle Ben passed away, he has been trying to be a man who can support his family, but at the same time, Peter also has a kind of delicacy learned from Aunt May.
It felt good to be taken care of by Peter. There was sweet fruit porridge to eat and hot water in the thermos on the bedside table. Peter lay on the desk in the room to write the paper assigned to him by the university professor. After finishing the paper, he turned on the computer to edit some pictures.
Jason sat there reading a book for a while, then he twisted his neck and asked Peter, "Do you want to be a reporter or a photographer in the future?"
Peter was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "I want to be an investigative reporter, to expose some real darkness, to make misfortune public, to let the sun shine on those festering places..."
Jason nodded in understanding. "Being the night watchman of society is a good aspiration. If you want to go down this path, you can read more of Clark Kent's previous works."
Peter became interested when he heard the name. "Yes, he is the first current affairs reporter to win the Pulitzer Prize. He is also famous for his fast writing speed and sharp style. Some people say that his news is like a sword that looks heavy but is actually fast and sharp. He always goes into dangerous places in person just to expose the truth. He is a reporter with a real conscience."
"Anyone who wants to be a good reporter must admire Clark Kent, the ace reporter of the Daily Planet."
Unfortunately, he also died in the snap, so his name was also engraved on the memorial stone tablet.
Jason was a little embarrassed when he thought of Clark Kent's other identity. For Superman, entering dangerous situations is probably a daily routine. So, it seems that becoming a reporter is a suitable choice for a superhero.
After all, if a normal person exposes the darkness, he or she will risk his or her life, but if a superhero exposes the darkness, it is not certain who will die.
He suddenly wanted to chat with Peter: "If I hadn't died at the hands of the Joker, I would have become a writer who wrote numerous non-fiction books exposing the darkness of reality when I grew up. Maybe I could even have my own column in the Gotham Daily or the Daily Planet."
Peter agreed: "You are very talented. If it were you, you would definitely be able to do it."
Peter watched Jason grow from a 19-year-old boy to a mature 27-year-old young man. The two have known each other for such a long time, and although his understanding of Jason's abilities is not complete, he has some idea of it.
In fact, he has admired this neighbor brother who is good at both sports and studies since he was a child.
Then he sighed regretfully: "It's such a pity when I think about it. If you had been a writer back then, maybe we could be partners now and investigate many things together."
"But some things are in the past and I can't live them again. Besides, I'm not dissatisfied with my current life."
Jason didn't become the person he originally hoped to be, but he thinks he is pretty good now.
Peter made a shooting gesture with his finger and slammed it at Jason: "Man, I admire your attitude towards life."
The two smiled at each other. Jason lowered his head and read for a while. Then he leaned against the pillow, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in a daze.
It must be uncomfortable to sleep in this position, and Jason did not sleep soundly. After a while, he heard a slight creaking sound from the old wooden floor. Someone came over gently, helped him lie down, and covered him with a quilt. After a while, a warm electric pancake was stuffed into the quilt.
Jason called out "Peter" in a half-asleep state, and after a while, he heard a response.
"I'm here, what's wrong?"
Then Jason fell into a deep sleep peacefully.
Peter looked at him sleeping and thought that Jason probably hadn't rested for a long time, so he didn't want to disturb him.
Lingxing also returned home at this time. The blue cat who bore the name of Red Lantern stood up on his lower limbs and used his claws to tear off the red combat suit on his body.
He watched Peter fumble to the living room to continue editing the picture, and whispered to Orange, "Dear, is that boy courting the owner?"
Axel sat cross-legged next to the cat, holding a family meeting with them, and gestured with his bear paw when he heard the words.
"No need to guess, the little spider is unconsciously courting its owner."
