[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

Jason did not completely rest during his recovery. He had been sending letters through the Internet and portals to contact his comrades on the same front as him and make further arrangements.

He did not just target the old money and people in the gray area. His experience in Latvia made him deeply understand that killing everyone with one blow would only lead to a greater backlash.

On the contrary, if the enemy can be divided, it will be much easier to deal with them.

After all, over the years, the upper-class capital has often used this trick to deal with the lower-class people, dividing the oppressed people into blacks, Asians, Latinos, LGBTQ... and even within Asians, they can be divided into Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese. After the division, it is much more difficult for this group to unite to resist oppression.

Jason also used this trick when dealing with the enemy, and it was very effective. Although even his friends on the same front line laughed and scolded him after seeing his skills, saying that these ideas were obviously not something that a good person could think of, and they were extremely bad when they thought about it carefully, but at this point, who cares about good or bad.

Achieve the goal first.

So on the enemy side, not everyone hated Jason to death. There were still a few who were planning to contact them.

If they were at the bottom, they could be called scabs, but if they were at the top, they could be considered smart people who could adapt to the situation. This was because they knew that Jason didn't have the energy to kill all of them. Now if they cooperated, Jason wouldn't be so cruel when dealing with them. Not only would they be able to leave them a way out, but they could also take this opportunity to swallow up the assets of other families.

Did Jason want to kill all of them? Of course he wanted to, but the reality was that he really didn't have the energy to send them all to hell, so he could only use relatively tactful methods to try to win over those who could be won over to a cooperative position.

After working all morning and scheduling several negotiations, Jason breathed a sigh of relief, got up, washed up, hesitated for a while, and then washed his hair.

He always felt that if he didn't wash his hair for a few days, it would become greasy. He heard that not only would greasy hair look ugly, but it would also accelerate hair loss. Jason was already 27 years old and really didn't want to follow in Tim's footsteps.

"Should I send him a box of anti-hair loss shampoo? Kenan said there's a product called Bawang in his hometown that's particularly good."

Jason muttered to himself that he had been a fan of Jackie Chan when he was a kid, and he had even tried some of his stunts in the movies after becoming Robin.

And he also needs to pay attention to it. After washing his hair, Jason looked at himself in the mirror for a while and felt that his hairline was still very full, but he had stayed up too many lately, and his hair fell out more frequently during his menstrual period than usual.

"Oh, it would be great if people didn't lose their hair."

Thinking of this, he envied Bruce and Damian. When Bruce was almost fifty years old, his hairline was still well maintained, but a lot of his hair had turned gray and white. Whether a man will lose hair is related to genetics, so Damian's hairline should also be safe.

As for Jason, he didn't know whether old Todd was bald or not, so it's always better to be prepared.

Jason suddenly felt that he was being a bit effeminate. He shuddered and quickly told himself that gender stereotypes were wrong. Some men were afraid of cockroaches and jumped at mice, and some girls cut their hair short and played basketball. Besides, paying attention to appearance was not a gender-specific thing, right? He had a physique that was common to both men and women.

At noon, Peter came back swinging on the spider silk. When he saw Jason, he hurriedly looked for a hair dryer to blow Jason's hair. Then he rushed into the kitchen and brought out a bowl of angelica and red dates. Jason was stunned.

"Did you make it for me?"

Peter nodded, "Yeah, didn't Bucky often make this stew for you to replenish your blood? I've seen it a few times."

Jason's heart tightened when he heard Bucky's name, and Bucky was gone.

Peter looked at his expression and shouted, "Jay, should I..." I shouldn't have mentioned Bucky's name to you?

Jason immediately interrupted him.

"I'm fine, thank you."

If Jason were honest, he felt that he still had some feelings for Bucky, but rather than saying that those feelings were love, it would be more accurate to say that they were more of a family relationship.

Bucky was the one who warmed him when he was at his darkest. They were once so close, but Jason had long since made up his mind to always look forward and never dwell on the past. Otherwise, he would not have dated Tim and Johnny later.

It was almost December now. Jason was wearing a sweater, with his feet warmed by Axel's belly. He was eating some angelica and red dates while asking Peter for his report card.

Peter handed in his report card as obediently as a chicken. From his expression, Jason thought his grades were very bad, but when Jason took a look, he was surprised to find that this kid had very good grades.

When Peter saw his expression change, he immediately laughed, jumped onto the coffee table and struck a Spider-Man pose.

"How are you? My grades are good?"

Jason was amused by the boy's liveliness: "Yeah, not bad."

This child has never caused his family to worry about his academic performance since he was young, and it is still the same now.

He asked Peter, "Are you still going to school this afternoon?"

Peter shook his head. “I’m going to do some volunteer work this afternoon, taking some orphans to the aquarium.”

He whispered to Jason, "Many children lost their parents because of the finger snap, and there is no one to take care of them at home, so Mr. Stark set up a foundation to take care of these children."

Jason nodded in understanding. The orphanage under his name also took in children like this, but Yin Sen was usually in charge of that part, and Jason was only responsible for paying the money. Even in the later stages, even Professor X and the Wayne Group provided the money together.

Since it was boring to stay at home and recuperate, Jason also wanted to go out and get some fresh air.

"Would you mind taking me with you?"

Peter's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay."

So the two of them set off together. Jason wore a dark gray tweed coat on the outside. His hair, which had just been washed in the morning, was a little fluffy. His bangs hung on both sides of his cheeks, making his overly sharp and handsome facial features look a little softer.

Peter secretly glanced at him a few times and thought to himself, Jason has always been this handsome since he first saw him as a child. As his temperament becomes more mature and stable, this young man has become more charming.

When he saw Jason pushing out a motorcycle, Peter blinked and said, "Jay, you are still injured. It's easy to catch a cold if you ride a motorcycle."

And Jason is obviously afraid of the cold, right?

Jason threw the keys to him: "You drive."

"Eh?"

Although Peter had taken a driver's license on Jason's suggestion, he had never considered buying a car due to his family's financial problems. Later, when he became Spider-Man, he no longer needed a car because he was faster than a car.

So this is the first time for little Peter to drive such a cool and stylish motorcycle.

Jason has very high taste in buying cars. When the deafening sound of the engine sounded, Peter's blood began to boil. Machinery is the eternal romance of men, not to mention that Jason was sitting behind him.

Peter couldn't help but grin, and Jason put a windproof mask on his face from behind. The kid said "thank you" sullenly, took a deep breath, and drove away in a flash.

Jason immediately put his arm around his waist, thinking that this boy's driving was quite wild, but still within an acceptable range.

After all, when Robin II first drove the Batmobile, he was much wilder than Peter. Even Iron Man, who loves racing, couldn't help but lie on the ground and vomit after riding in Jason's Batmobile.

The cold wind at the end of November made Jason silently curl himself up behind Peter's not-so-broad back. When they arrived at the place, Jason rubbed his hands and exhaled a breath of white air.

“This winter is really cold.”

Peter asked him to wait for a moment, went to buy a cup of hot cocoa nearby and put it in his hand, then held Jason's hand and walked into the orphanage. The young man had a strong blood and a high body temperature. Peter didn't wear gloves, so his palms were dry and warm.

Jason lowered his eyes and let him pull him until they were almost in the orphanage gate. He pulled his hand back and Peter came to his senses and immediately let go of his hand.

The two stood at the door for a while. Jason held the straw in his mouth, looked inside the door, and signaled him with his eyes, "Go in." Peter lowered his head and coughed, and his steps when he went in were a little hurried and flustered.

Peter's classmates also came to volunteer with him. Jason was responsible for watching the group of children and making sure they didn't run around. Peter stood at the car door and picked up the children one by one. He was very familiar with the children and could call out each of them by name. It was obvious that he came here often.

While waiting to get on the bus, the young college students looked at Jason with curiosity. One of the bold girls approached the overly handsome young man and introduced herself.

The girl's name was Ellie Jentson. Jason looked at her for a moment and gave his own name as well: "Jason Todd, I remember there was a very famous human rights lawyer named Sunny Jentson. Do you know her?"

Ellie was surprised when she heard this: "She is my cousin! Do you know her?"

Peter pricked up his ears not far away, and heard Jason reply calmly: "She was my senior when I was studying in Gotham."

Ai Li understood: "Oh, I see, my sister is the school beauty, many people remember her deeply."

Another boy next to him said, "Aili is also a school beauty."

"Because my sister and I look a lot like each other."

Ellie is a cheerful girl who speaks carelessly but is very friendly. After learning that this girl is also a law student, Jason started chatting with her.

As a Columbia University genius back then, Jason had completed his master's degree ahead of schedule and studied for a doctorate with a king in Eastern Europe. He had a lot of valuable knowledge. He was able to give answers to questions that many children did not understand. He also had good literary attainments. After he casually quoted a few allusions, another boy from the College of Arts started chatting with him.

Jason was just chatting with his juniors with the intention of giving them some pointers, but soon, the children and college students around him looked at him with sparkling eyes.

Peter leaned on the back of the chair and looked at him, and gradually, a gentle arc appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Because it was cloudy outside and it was almost December, there were not many people going to the aquarium. The staff were all quite enthusiastic when they suddenly saw so many children. Jason had nothing to do, so he just toured the aquarium by himself.

Pepper is an animal protector and she has never supported animal performances, so there are no messy performances in the aquarium. The animals just need to move freely in the water.

Jason stood in front of a glass wall, watching the fish on the other side of the wall swimming among the artificial corals and water plants. After a while, a sub-adult white dolphin with an injured tail came over to Jason, looking at him curiously with its eyes and its mouth wide open as if smiling.

Jason pressed his hand against the glass wall and greeted him with a friendly smile: "Hello, little guy."

Click.

Jason turned around and saw Peter standing there with a camera in his hand. There was trepidation on his young face. "Uh, can I take a picture of you? I won't publish your picture, but the scene just now... the light and shadow were very good."

"Keep it."

Jason turned his head and continued to look at the white dolphin, and Peter slowly walked to his side.

The aquarium is very large. The blue waves are reflected on the young man's three-dimensional face like a sculpture. His turquoise eyes are filled with distant emotions, and his gaze at the white dolphins is gentle and doting, just like looking at any playful and lovely human child.

Peter stared at Jason's profile in a daze, his face suddenly feeling hot. He lowered his head and his hand unconsciously reached forward. When it was about to touch Jason's fingertips, he immediately retracted it, turned around, lowered his head, picked up the camera hanging around his neck, and looked at the photos in it.

Jason turned his head to look at him, and the white dolphin looked at the two humans on the other side of the wall and called softly.

"He's courting you, isn't he?"

Then one of the humans turned around and nodded slightly to him. The highly intelligent white dolphin never expected that this human would respond to him, and was immediately frightened and swam away quickly.

Peter looked at this scene and asked in surprise: "Why is he gone?"

Jason put his hands in his pockets and said leisurely, "How should I know?"

He looked relaxed, happy, and soft, which made Peter dare to get closer to him than usual, so Peter trotted and caught up with Jason.

"I think that dolphin likes you very much. You have always been popular with animals, and the stray cats and dogs around here like you too."

"Like my animals? You too?"

"Eh?"
