[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

Everyone thinks that Jason is the best person to get the Time Stone because he is the Sorcerer Supreme. For this reason alone, it would be much easier for him to convince Ancient One to give him the Time Stone.

At the same time, he also participated in the Battle of New York, which meant that he could obtain the Mind Stone and the Space Stone more easily. Everyone also believed that Batman could perfectly cooperate with his teammates to get the three gems during the Battle of New York.

So at the beginning, everyone assumed that Jason would join the team going to the battle in New York.

Then Jason said, "But Tony, Captain, Dr. Banner, Scott, and Dick, you guys are definitely enough to go to New York and fight for the three gems."

He nodded at Dick and said, "Mulin will stay in your spiritual world. When you meet Ancient One, let her look at Mulin, and she will believe you. You can ask for anything at that time. But relatively speaking, not everyone here has rich experience in outer space combat, so I should go to Morag or Vormir."

If the team needs a bat-type superhero with many plan Bs, Nightwing would fit the bill.

Dick blinked his blue eyes, put his arm around Jason's shoulders, and stroked his shoulders: "Little Wing, don't you want to reminisce with your teacher?"

Jason expressionlessly pushed his hand away. “I don’t want to see the man who tricked me into carrying a bag of damn heavy red Arogen across half the universe.”

Well, now that Jason said that, the next issue is the team distribution between Thor, Rocket, Tim and Peter, Rod, and Nebula.

Tim poured Jason a cup of black tea and opened his notebook.

"Thor is determined to work with Rocket to return to Asgard in the first half of 14 to get the Reality Stone."

"Jason will go with Tim, Peter, Rod, and Nebula to the second half of 14. Then they will split up again. Rod and Nebula will go to Morag to get the Power Stone. Finally, Jason, Spider-Man, and I will go to Vormir to get the Soul Stone."

Peter suddenly said, "I, I'm not going to New York? I mean, I'm very familiar with New York, but I don't have much experience in outer space combat..."

To be precise, New York's good neighbor Spider-Man has rarely been to outer space except for the time he fought Thanos.

Tim explained: "They are going to 2012, when Spider-Man doesn't exist. Once others discover this new superhero, it will become a big flaw in time. You can only go with us, because no one in outer space knows you anyway."

Peter bowed his head, "Okay, then I'll go with you. Should I go to Vormir or Morag?"

Rhode shrugged. "I can just work with Miss Lan. It shouldn't be too difficult to get the Power Stone from Morag. We just need to seize the opportunity."

On the contrary, the situation in Vormir is more mysterious, so it would be more appropriate to have an extra combat force to deal with possible emergencies.

Jason turned to Dick and said, "By the way, pay attention to Hulk. He was still a hot-tempered person back then. I remember when we arrested Loki, he got angry because we didn't let him take the elevator."

Dick exchanged a look with him. "So the green boy is the wild card? Got it! By the way, should I still be on guard against being discovered by you? I remember there were quite a few mutants on the battlefield at that time."

Jason responded, "Yeah, just be careful."

The two robins exchanged fists, and everything was said without words. This was their tacit understanding. Next, they would each complete the tasks of their own team, find the Infinity Stones they were responsible for, and ensure that any unexpected events would not affect their plans.

And then that was settled.

That day, the weather was fine, and the people who had lost everything put on combat uniforms that could travel through time and space and got on the time machine.

The captain said seriously: "Go and bring back the six gems. You only have one chance, so be careful."

Rocket looked at Tim and Jason, "Bring the stone back safely."

Tim saluted to show he understood.

Tony: "Ok, and be safe, Bird Baby and Pajama Baby!"

Peter looked up: "Yes! I will be careful."

Jason smiled. He didn't wear Batman's uniform today. Instead, he changed into an ordinary black combat suit and wore a domino mask that the Bat Family often wore.

He said briskly, "See you in a minute."

Jason like this reminded Tony of the little robin that rolled in front of him. His vitality and confidence were very contagious.

Tony pouted, "Yeah, see you in a minute. When we're done with this, I'll treat you to a barbecue."

The barbecue joke inspired Dr. Banner, Thor, and Captain America, who also participated in the Battle of New York.

Then Jason replied seriously, "Well, I'll treat you to red velvet cupcakes then, too."

This is the cupcake Jason made best. Dick looked at Jason's profile with a hint of tenderness in his eyes. He gestured to Tim who was looking over here.

【Be safe and protect him. 】

Tim nodded silently.

Then the time machine started up, they entered the quantum realm, and the next moment, Dick found himself in New York.

He looked at the Chitauri army outside and the angry Hulk who was using a car to smash down a group of enemies, and sighed.

"Wow, it's such a lively battlefield."

Jason should still be busy rescuing people at this time. Coincidentally, if they want to get the Mind Stone and the Space Stone, they have to pass by there. It is not known whether they can see the little wings of this period (this corresponds to the plot of Chapter 81).

On the other side, Jason, Tim, Peter, Rod, and Nebula appeared together in the second half of 14, and then everyone first arrived at the planet Morrag by spaceship.

Jason and Rod hugged each other and said, "Go back immediately after you get the gem. Don't delay too long. Thanos is still alive in this era. If he catches you, you two won't be able to withstand a single punch from him."

Rhodes nodded solemnly: "Thank you for your reminder."

"Also, when you meet Quill (Star-Lord), you can hit him harder, because he is half Celestial, so he has a stronger ability to withstand blows."

Jason alerted his teammates as much as possible, then took Tim and Peter onto the spaceship and started heading towards Vormir.

The coordinates of the spacecraft had already been entered in advance, so there was no need to worry too much about the operation. Jason looked at the universe outside the spacecraft and the bizarre light when making a space jump.

"I think this is the first time I've been to outer space with you guys. This is much more exciting than fighting villains in Gotham or New York, right?"

He turned around and asked his two ex-boyfriends, his turquoise eyes shining. Even the white film on the domino mask that was used to protect his eyes could not stop others from seeing how bright his eyes were.

Peter looked at him, sighed helplessly, and replied in a soft voice: "Yes, I also want to travel around the universe more often in the future. If I can write some news about alien planets, I will definitely become the most popular reporter among all newspapers on Earth."

"Superman will compete for this position. He has won the Pulitzer Prize."

Tim said leisurely, "What about you? After B comes back, do you plan to wander around in the universe forever?"

Jason smiled but didn't answer.

Later, Tim thought countless times that if he could understand Jason's farewell smile at that time, whether what happened later would not have happened. But when he thought about it carefully, everything seemed to be destined.

Ancient One knew that Jason would be the key to obtaining the Soul Stone, so out of sympathy and gratitude, she accepted Jason as a student and helped him find a new home in New York.

At the same time, Jason got information about the Soul Stone from Ancient One. He knew that the Soul Stone had to be exchanged for the lives of important people, so Jason decided to go to Vormir with Tim and Peter.

In fact, Jason has always been a person who doubts everything. He doesn't know how important the Soul Stone is in the rule of exchanging the life of an important person for the Soul Stone. After all, Thanos exchanged the life of his daughter Gamora for the Soul Stone, but no one knows to what extent Thanos loves his daughter.

Jason had been imprisoned in Arkham by Dick, which made him instinctively not choose Dick to be the one to go to Vormir with him, because he had doubts about Dick, and Mulin also needed to be with Dick.

He also couldn't choose Damian to be that person, because Jason would definitely not want to make Damian sad.

So Tim and Peter were pulled into the team heading to Vormir as double insurance.

When they realized something was wrong, Jason had already knocked Peter down with magic and ran towards the cliff. Tim tried desperately to stop him and wanted to jump down first, but Jason pounced on them and used a rope to drop them both to the edge of the cliff.

Tim had a flimsy rope around his waist and held Jason's wrist in his hand.

He begged, "Please don't do this, Jason."

Jason simply looked down at the stone platform below, then raised his head, his tone calm.

"Let go, Tibao."

Tim's vision began to blur, and he choked: "No! I can't lose you again!"

Jason nodded and said in a coaxing tone, "I was too young when I died last time, and I had no preparation. This time, I can go more calmly."

"No, Jason..."

Jason pulled his hand away without hesitation, and the figure fell suddenly. The next moment, Spider-Man also pounced down.

The young man used a spider silk to stick to the edge of the cliff, and shot out a spider silk, trying to use it to pull Jason.

and after?

Jason's spine and neck were broken when he was falling at such a high speed and was suddenly pulled by the spider silk. Moreover, the spider silk did not catch him in time, so his head hit the ground heavily.

Peter fell to the ground and rushed to hug Jason like crazy. He begged, "Jay, breathe, please, breathe."

But Jason closed his eyes tightly, and the bright red schoolwork flowed down the back of his head, onto his neck, and onto Peter's hands.

Peter didn't even know whether Jason died from his spider web or from the fall.

In a flash of white light, he and Tim were transferred to another place.

Tim struggled to his feet and watched Peter kneeling there, looking down at the golden-orange gem in his palm.

The gem was so beautiful, shining brightly, as dazzling as flowing gold sand, but this stone was exchanged for Jason's life.

It was not until they returned to 2023 that Dick excitedly hugged the Space Stone and shouted, "Jason, if it weren't for your reminder, Hulk would have almost prevented us from getting the Space Stone... Tim, where is Jason?"

Peter knelt on the ground and held out his hand.

"He's here."

From Jason's belongings, Tim learned that Jason had known for a long time that his life would begin a countdown from the moment Ant-Man returned. He had written everything down in his notebook.

If you can see this, it means I have successfully died. This is not bad news, really, because the Ancient One had already reminded me. She told me that if someone wants to use their life to exchange for a stone in the future, that person had better be me, because according to her observation, letting a bad person take this position will lead to some bad consequences, and I am one of the few people in the multiverse who is zero black, so she chose me. "

"I know she wants me to be the one who exchanges my life for the stone, but don't be sad for me this time. Life and death in this world have their own laws. I am just going back to where I should go. And this time, I can finally face death more calmly."

But after reading the notebook, Damian almost destroyed the entire manor.

He said angrily that Jason never liked being the one who was chosen, because every time he was the one who was abandoned between the two options, he would feel more lonely. Even though Jason knew that if he made the choice himself, he would also make himself the one who was abandoned, but giving up his own life to save others was always different from others giving up their lives to save others.

Since his teenage years, Jason has always avoided putting himself in a position to be chosen. He would rather choose his own death in advance than let others choose between him and other things.

So how sad must he be when he knew that Ancient One regarded him as a mortal and therefore accepted him as a student?

……

In the deep darkness, Gamora suddenly woke up and found herself standing on a narrow path. Jason walked in front of her and passed her by.

She heard Jason's voice: "Get out of the way, don't stop me from going home."

She watched the young man walk past her and into the unknown darkness.

Gamora could only shout at his back: "Come back! Jason, no one's way home is death!"

Jason walked forward firmly until he returned to the desert, and Ancient One was standing on the beach, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

He walked up to Ancient One and said, "Although you made it very clear in your letter, I still want to ask you, did you know that I would become part of the Soul Stone one day in the future?"

"Yes, when I first felt you, I knew you would be the Soul Gem. You have a miraculous power that allows you to touch the truest emotions of others. You and this stone have a destiny that transcends time and space."

"So I feel other people's pain, not because I'm abnormal, but because I can really feel it."

"Yes, child, everything about you is normal, even better, brighter, and more determined than most people. So when your own power touches the pain of others, you cannot remain indifferent to it. This is why you get this power."

Jason's eyes sparkled. "But how much have I suffered for this ability? It is almost one of the sources of my pain."

Gu Yi held his hand tightly and shook it: "I'm sorry, kid, for making you bear all this, but thank you for making this choice. You are the only hero who has never deviated from the hundreds of millions of futures I have observed."

Jason was stunned: "Really?"

Gu Yi had tears in his eyes: "Yes, it is you, child. You are the only one who has suffered so much and never hurt others. Your heart has never really changed. I did not accept you as my student because you would die because of the Soul Gem. I was attracted by your soul."

At this moment, Jason suddenly felt that no matter how much pain he had experienced in the past, he could finally let it go.

He sighed deeply, tears rolling down from the corners of his eyes.

He murmured, "It's nice to hear that. I originally thought you accepted me as your apprentice out of sympathy, and I was planning to be angry with you at that time."

"how could be."

The Ancient One held him in his arms.

"You are such a good child, your soul is so beautiful, from the first moment I saw you, I wanted to be close to you, to be your friend, your family, and to guide you to find happiness."

"Go to sleep, Jason."

Jason closed his eyes and sank deep into the sea of ​​his soul.
