[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

In the golden desert, Jason sat on the soft sand sea, gazing at the golden-orange ocean in the distance and the confused figure that was getting closer and closer.

"who are you?"

Before the man could reach Jason, he woke up.

"Gamora?"

Since entering Kamar-Taj's most secret library, which only the Supreme Sorcerer can enter, Jason has learned more and more. He is now very skilled in expelling invading external magical creatures to another dimension and can also use seals.

He sat on the bed, looking at his palms. Even though it was night and the lights were not on in the room, Jason could still see everything around him clearly.

But why did he see Gamora?

In fact, it was good to see Gamora. Ever since those people left him, Jason had hoped countless times to reunite with them in his dreams, but they never came.

In that golden-orange desert, he currently only saw Gamora as a living person. Unfortunately, even Jason could not control himself to accurately enter the desert.

The little blue bird landed on his shoulder with a small note in its beak. Jason took the note and opened it. There was a line of "thank you" on it.

"Did he have anything else to say?"

Mulin nudged his chin with her little head, spread her wings and flapped them a few times, then jumped on the quilt for a while.

Jason understood. “You mean, after he got rid of the bandages and plaster, he started jumping between high-rise buildings and doing his vigilante work again?”

Mu Lin called out crisply.

Jason sighed helplessly: "He's really a big troublesome blue bird, isn't he?"

Mu Lin nodded in agreement.

Jason touched the little blue bird's head and whispered, "I learned a lot in the library. There are many interesting spells that the Supreme Sorcerer can master. When I have enough magic power, I will make you a human body."

Axel is the product of a magical creature leaning over a bear. Mulin is also a magical creature. Jason thought that maybe he could give Mulin a human appearance so that she could live in the real world, instead of only being able to materialize through magic and usually only being able to travel through the dream world.

This child has been with him for so many years and has had little social interaction. If you think about it carefully, he is too lonely.

After knowing that Jason was injured, his relatives and friends expressed their concern for him. For example, Kurt directly hugged Katie and jumped to his home to visit him.

In the end, Jason simply went into the kitchen and grilled a large piece of premium smoked beef brisket and mixed it with a salad. Kurt then went to call Li Qianhuan, who was working overtime at the S.W.O.R.D., and the four of them sat at the dining table, eating and chatting. Jason also played a guitar, and Kurt clapped and sang there.

For them, this felt like reminiscing about their youth. Kurt, Katie and Qianhuan were all around 30 years old, but when they saw Jason playing the guitar, it felt like they had gone back in time to their teenage years.

At that time, they were still children in their middle school years, suffering from the fact that they could not fit in with the crowd. Now when they think back to their feelings at that time, they no longer feel that heavy, but rather find it more funny.

But no matter what, they are grateful that they survived the darkness and grew up to be the adults they are now.

And… “Did I ever tell you that your greatest improvement over the years is in your cooking skills?”

Kurt gnawed on the brisket and moaned in ecstasy: "I love your smoked brisket so much. Even if it's just for your cooking skills, I want to be your good friend for life."

Katie's mouth twitched: "Kurt, don't make such a disgusting sound."

That being said, she wasn't any slower than Kurt in eating the brisket.

Qian Huan laughed happily; "Jay, you know what? Last time I used the same smoked brisket as the one you gave me, but Lorna said it wasn't as delicious as yours. She also likes your cooking very much, but she was embarrassed to come to your house for a free meal."

Jason nodded gently. "It just so happens that I'm going to Xavier College to discuss some business with the professor in a while. I'll have dinner there. She can come over if she wants to. The professor will definitely not mind having one more person at the table."

"It's a pity Laura isn't here."

"Yeah, it's a pity Laura isn't here."

The five of them were the happiest when they got together back then, and the atmosphere was silent for a while.

The scars are still there, and they always make their presence felt from time to time.

After this group of old friends left, Harry also came to visit Jason with a fruit basket. The Osborne Group where the young man worked was mainly engaged in military industry and biopharmaceuticals. Jason had a deep understanding of military industry but limited knowledge of medicine. However, Harry vowed to him that the Osborne Group was researching an incredible project recently. Once successful, even disabled people could regenerate their limbs.

Jason was quite interested in this: "What a coincidence, did you know that I have an ex-boyfriend who is also disabled?"

Harry blinked. "You mean Sergeant Barnes?"

Jason replied calmly, "Yes, his left hand has been broken for many years, so people gave him a prosthetic limb. I also took him to the universe to upgrade the prosthetic limb. I considered using alien limb regeneration technology, but aliens' physiques are different from those of earthlings, so they are not compatible with earthlings' physiques."

But Jason did pay attention to this kind of technology, not only for his ex-boyfriend, but also for his good friend Roy who broke an arm and wore a prosthesis.

This is a very sad thing. The jobs Jason and the people around him do are dangerous. If they are not careful, they may lose their lives. Even if they save their lives, they will lose some important parts or limbs.

He stroked Harry's short blond hair. "Harry, I'm very happy that Osborne Group has launched such a project, so I hope you can assure me that you will keep a close eye on this project, ensure that it develops healthily, and carefully observe any side effects that this project may have."

Harry sat in front of him obediently and replied solemnly: "I promise, I will take good care of this project."

"Good boy."

Jason flipped through the document Harry handed him and looked it over. After a while, he pulled the kid over and pointed to one place and said, "The general framework of your plan is correct, but this one item needs to be corrected. Otherwise, it will be easy for someone to find loopholes in the laws and regulations..."

Harry listened carefully, leaning on Jason's arm like a child. He enjoyed the feeling of being guided and helped, and of being praised and protected.

"Harry, where is your medical report?"

"Medical report?"

Harry came to his senses and smiled helplessly: "Jason, you look like my dad."

Jason nodded. "What a coincidence. My dad treated me the same way. When I was with him, he gave me a physical examination once a week on average. I've always asked you to report your physical condition once a month. Just give it to me."

Harry handed over the brown paper bag containing the report. "Bruce Wayne really values ​​his son's health. Did you know that? I didn't even look at the report myself before I sent it to you."

Jason hummed.

His desire for control is growing day by day, and he is becoming more and more like his old bat parent.

After seeing off his relatives and friends, Jason was finally able to take a breath. He lay peacefully on the bed and fell asleep. After a while, someone seemed to walk in. Jason opened his eyes slightly and Peter smiled at him.

"It's me. I bought some scented candles. They smell great. Can I light one for you?"

Jason nodded with his eyes closed. There was no light in the room, and Peter could only see Jason's subtle movements with the sharp vision of Spider-Man. He lighted the candle with his hands and feet and placed it in the corner. When he stood up and wanted to leave the bedroom, he saw that Jason's position on the bed had changed.

Originally Jason was lying in the middle of the soft big bed, but now he moved towards the window, leaving space behind him that was big enough for another adult male to lie down.

Peter hesitated for a while, took off his slippers, and carefully lay down on the empty seat, curled up and dared not touch Jason.

This was really weird. Peter really wanted to hug Jason from behind as one would hug a lover. He longed to do so but was afraid of offending this older brother who had watched him grow up. While he loved him, he also respected and even feared him.

Jason lifted a corner of the quilt.

"are not you cold?"

Peter whispered back, "I'm not afraid of the cold."

Having said that, he quickly took off his coat and got into the quilt. In the process, he inevitably touched Jason's arm. Peter froze for a moment, and then he held Jason's arm.

"Your body temperature is so low, you feel cold to the touch."

Jason closed his eyes: "You can keep me warm."

This sentence was like a permission. Peter's breathing became rapid. He held Jason in his arms and lowered his head to smell Jason's hair. There was a faint scent of lime.

Such a close distance allowed him to hear his own and the other person's heartbeat. Jason's physique was comparable to that of a top athlete, and his heart power was also extraordinary. The average resting heart rate of an ordinary person was 75 beats per minute, while Jason's average resting heart rate was only in the early s.

So his heartbeat was very slow, beat by beat, and as Peter listened, he felt his emotions calm down.

Until a flash of lightning flashed outside, and soon the roar of thunder sounded. It was raining heavily outside on this winter night, but the only thing in Peter's mind was Jason's heartbeat.

An inexplicable feeling of satisfaction filled his chest, which moved him so much that he even felt like crying.

He really cried, and choked up as he said to Jason, "Every night, I miss Aunt May. Jay, do you miss your relatives too?"

Jason turned over and pressed Peter's head against his chest. He slowly replied, "I miss my family too."

What happened next was unexpected to Jason, but also reasonable. Peter cried and trembled in his arms. Jason's sleepiness was completely driven away by his crying. He could only rub Peter's little curly hair helplessly.

After Peter finished crying, Jason kissed his forehead and eyes to comfort him. There was only dim candlelight in the room. Brown and green eyes looked at each other. The brown eyes were a little red. Jason looked at Peter gently and quietly. Being looked at by him like this, Peter felt his heart calm down.

He lowered his head, still sobbing and hiccuping from time to time. He held Jason's hand with both hands and found that their hands had become the same size without him noticing, but Jason's hands had calluses, which were proof of the hardships and sufferings he had experienced.

The rain was making a loud noise. Peter couldn't do anything at first. Jason stroked his cheek and taught him patiently without looking down on his immaturity and occasional clumsiness.

When the rain stopped in the early morning, Jason noticed that the room temperature was also getting lower due to the rain outside.

Peter was hugging him from behind and was childishly hooking his little finger with it.

Noticing the change in Jason's breathing, Peter knew he was awake, so he leaned over and kissed his face: "What are you thinking about?"

Jason coughed, grabbed the bottle of mineral water on the bedside table and tried to unscrew it, but he didn't have the strength. Peter unscrewed it for him, and Jason asked him, "What's the temperature today?"

This question was out of context, but Peter still answered accurately: "Today's temperature is 42.6 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. You are afraid of the cold, so you should keep warm."

Peter still had to go to class that day, but on his way home, he ran to the flower shop and bought a bouquet of red roses. Although he knew that Jason was so busy that he might not be at home at all, it didn't matter. He could put the flowers in a vase and keep them in clean water to ensure that the flowers would still be bright when Jason finished work and went home.

But Peter was particularly lucky that day. Jason did not go out. When Peter returned home, Jason was standing in the kitchen frying cod. Peter called Jason's name hesitantly. Jason turned around, looked at the roses in his hand, smiled, turned off the fire, took the bouquet and went to find a vase.

Peter thought Jason looked very handsome holding the rose.

He later discovered that Jason's bedroom had also changed, with an extra pillow on the bed, new sheets, and a larger quilt.

These changes were like a pass, allowing Peter to feel for the first time that he was no longer a child in Jason's eyes, but had a new identity.

The young man was a little shy about this, but he felt sweet inside.

The weather is getting colder, but what's the saying? The fire of love can warm any cold winter.

Jason will not devote all his time to his young boyfriend. Although Peter is a little clingy, he is sensible and never disturbs him when he is working. So as compensation, Jason will take Peter out to play in his free time.

In fact, Jason had taken Peter to visit all the places worth visiting in New York before, but now their range of activities has expanded a lot.

Jason would open a space portal to take Peter to travel abroad, including going to Germany to watch a musical, going on vacation to the beach in The Hague, Netherlands, and taking Peter on the giant Ferris wheel in Vienna on a snowy night.

The advantage of being older is that Jason has more experience in love, and he knows how to make a young man like Peter happy, because when he was Peter's age, he also loved an older person, Talia, a blood-stained thorn flower that grew in the desert, a demon daughter who was as dangerous as the tip of a knife.

The gap in age and experience will inevitably make people feel distant, but this is the case for every couple in love. They are born in different families and go through different childhoods and adolescences before meeting their loved ones. Then they will overcome all obstacles and get closer and closer because of love.

Peter could feel Jason trying to get closer to him, so he decided to try harder than Jason to get closer to him and be the more proactive one in the relationship.

Because of Jason, Peter found himself falling in love with Ferris wheels, which slowly take people to high altitudes, so they rode all the world-famous Ferris wheels this winter.

Flyer Ferris Wheel, Nanchang Star, London Eye, Sky Dream Ferris Wheel, Hepfive Ferris Wheel... Every time the Ferris wheel's car reaches the highest point, they kiss.

Until Christmas was approaching, they sat on the roof together, sitting on the railing and looking at the night view of New York.

They lived in Queens, and the most prosperous Manhattan was on the other side of the river. Jason looked back at the advertising sign that had been put up at some point and smiled.

“I never thought I would stay in New York for so long, and now I consider it my home away from home.”

Peter pinched his fingers. "You can call this place home forever, because..."

Jason tilted his head and looked at him curiously: "Because?"

"Because in New York, there's someone who's willing to set off fireworks for you every day!"

Peter jumped to the ground and took out a bundle of firework sticks from his schoolbag. The young man took out a lighter and lit the firework sticks. Sparks came out and lit up Jason's vision.

He's a romantic Spider-Man.
