[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

In the spacious office, Fury handed a document to Jason.

"Here is our employment contract. We've given you the highest level of benefits. Sign this and we can be colleagues."

Jason hummed and began to read word by word. He was a doctor of law and had fought lawsuits and revised laws before, so he could definitely review this kind of stuff on his own.

As he was looking through the documents, Fury asked, "By the way, do you know the Wall Watcher?"

Jason replied without even looking up, "The one where you defended against the alien threat?"

"You do know."

Fury understood: "You are worthy of being the Batman for nearly five years. Do you know that since knowing that you handed over the position of Batman, many forces want to recruit you, but they lack the courage."

The talent of a man who can do a good job as an advisor to Batman and the Justice League, and clean up the mess in Gotham, is naturally unquestionable. Most importantly, Jason also understands politics and is not bound by the principle of not killing, which makes him very dangerous.

"What does this have to do with the Wallwatchers?"

Jason changed the subject back. He was also curious about why Fury suddenly talked to him about this.

Fury shrugged. "Nothing. It's just that someone's sentence was reduced because of his meritorious service in the battle on an alien planet, plus Wakanda's guarantee. He recently returned to Milite Point to find a job and moved to Brooklyn. He is a neighbor of the captain. They often cooperate on missions recently. I think someone has the potential to be a wall keeper. Do you know about his sentence reduction?"

Jason replied calmly, "I know."

His boring reaction disappointed the gossipy Fury. "Forget it. I reported to my superiors that the new director of S.W.A.R.D. will come to sign the contract today, so an official from the board of directors will come to see you. He will say some polite words at that time. Please cooperate with him."

Jason: “Oh.”

After a while, a handsome young man with his slightly long hair tied into a small bun, wearing a black combat uniform and a metal arm, led a white-haired grandfather in a suit into the office.

"Mr. Dawson, this is it."

When Mr. Dawson walked into the office, he glanced around the room and saw Jason, and his expression changed immediately.

Jason recognized this man as a pro-superhero official in the government. He was a good comrade of Steve Trevor, Wonder Woman's boyfriend, and had given great support to the superhero side in the past five years.

The old man rushed to Fury at a speed that did not match his appearance. He dragged him out of the office and the door was closed with a bang.

Jason and Bucky looked at each other, stood up, took out a black cylindrical object and slapped it against the wall, and the sounds outside came in.

"Nick Fury, this is the new director of S.W.O.R.D. you found? You actually hired Batman?"

"He's not Batman anymore," Nick said defensively.

"You actually poached people from the Justice League! You are really not afraid of death! Do Wonder Woman and the others know what you did? Aren't you afraid that the people you poached will put you in a sack in the middle of the night?"

Jason leaned against the wall and couldn't help laughing. Bucky spread his hands towards him and said, "Mr. Dawson doesn't have a bad heart. He's just scared by you. You know, many people in the upper echelons are afraid of you."

Bucky pointed upwards. When Jason was dealing with Old Money, the storm he created alarmed countless people. After Bucky was resurrected, he learned some information from King T'Challa and they were all a little frightened.

Jason is indeed a talent, as he was able to get away with it after almost turning that class upside down. Even without mentioning this, Jason has been Batman in the Justice League for nearly five years. During this period, he worked diligently as a giant of the Justice League and performed his duties beautifully. It really takes courage to dig him up.

This is also the reason why the Wayne family couldn't believe it when they learned that Jason accepted Fury's invitation, because they never thought that someone would dare to poach Jason now.

This is undermining the foundations of both the Justice League and the Bat Family at the same time!

Jason shrugged. “It’s okay. I was one of the veterans of S.W.O.R.D., and Fury said this counts as a rehire.”

Anyway, that boiled egg always has various reasons when he wants to poach people.

Bucky pursed his lips, raised his eyes and observed Jason, and found that Jason looked a lot more mature than when he broke up with him, but perhaps because of the Indian blood mixed in his body, Jason also had the anti-aging characteristics of the yellow race, so he still looked very young.

He was wearing a warm-looking sweater today, with a casual indigo windbreaker on the outside. There was always a faint smile on his handsome face, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Jason is still charming.

"Why are you staring at me?"

Hearing Jason's words, Bucky coughed and replied bluntly: "Because I am fascinated by you."

Jason was stunned for a moment, then he smiled brightly: "You're not kidding, are you? You suddenly said that and I was shocked by you."

Bucky also laughed. He looked at Jason seriously and said in a serious tone, "I'm back to work in Milijian now. I also bought a house in New York with a loan. It has three bedrooms and a living room. I'm renovating it. I mean, are you free tonight?"

Jason changed his position, leaning against the wall, and tilted his head to look at him: "What are you doing?"

Bucky took a deep breath and said, "Let's go to the movies together!"

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, but Mr. Dawson's voice cursing Fury for "not wanting to live" could still be heard from the black cylinder. Jason and Bucky looked at each other.

Jason suddenly felt very sad. He lowered his head and bit his lip for a while.

"Bucky, we've been apart for eight years. I've had three boyfriends since you. I've let you go."

Yes, it’s been eight years. Bucky felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, but he still replied firmly: “I know, so I’m not here to get back together with you.”

He looked straight at Jason, with a hint of tears in his eyes.

"I also thought that our separation would make you better, but after knowing that you died once, I regretted it, so I wanted to pursue you again."

Jason also looked Bucky straight in the eyes.

Bucky spoke word by word, "I thought we could let go of each other, but later I realized that I couldn't do it. I have never forgotten you. You can accept it or not, but please give me a chance."

The noise outside died down, and it looked like it was about to end. Jason put away the black cylinder and sat back in his original seat.

Fury walked in briskly, showing that he was extremely thick-skinned and was not affected at all by Mr. Dawson's words.

He urged Jason: "How is it? I didn't put any clauses on it to trick you."

Jason took out a pen and signed the contract: "If you dare to cheat me, the Wayne Group's legal team will not be vegetarians."

Fury picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. "I know your family is powerful. Okay, report for duty tomorrow. Abigail has wanted to go to the universe for field work for a long time, but she was held back by her position. You should do a good job after you take over this position. We will be at the same level in the future."

Then Fury glanced at Bucky with his one eye and saw that Bucky's expression was still as cold as ever, and Jason also acted as if nothing had happened.

Thinking of what Natasha and the captain had been whispering about recently, Fury wondered if these two people still had that intention.

So Jason officially took office as the new director of S.W.O.R.D. That night Damian saw Alfu answer a phone call and then tell everyone that "Master Jason is having dinner with friends tonight."

Damian pouted: "Tsk"

In the mind of Baobao, who is already two meters tall, Jason has so many friends. If he meets one of them and eats out, Jason may stay out for a month without going home.

Damian doesn't like Jason staying out all the time and not coming home. How can people outside take good care of him like family?

Although he was unhappy, Damian still took a portion of the midnight snack made by Alfu, and sent it through the portal to Jason's apartment in New York to remind Axel.

"Let him heat it up in the microwave before eating."

At this moment, Damian felt something and walked to the window, and saw Jason getting out of a car. With Damian's sharp super soldier eyesight, he naturally saw the person in the driver's seat clearly.

"Bucky Barnes!"

What's going on? His mother wants to remarry Jason recently, and Jason's ex-lover who has been separated for eight years seems to be... Tsk! These people are not young anymore, and they are still thinking about eating Jason's tender grass?

Damian admitted that he was a very demanding person. After Jason entered the house, he said to him seriously, "If Bucky Barnes wants to enter the Wayne family, he must pass my test!"

Jason looked at him in surprise. "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't get back together with Bucky."

"Then why don't you get out of his car!"

Jason patted Damian's chest (the brat was too tall, so he couldn't pat his head). "I just had a meal with him. We haven't seen each other for eight years. Can we get back together just because he asked?"

Does he look like such an easy target?

Then Jason saw the small cake on the table: "Is it Alfu's turkey pasta? Great, I like this."

He strolled to the table and started eating. Damian walked into the kitchen, brought out a glass of fruit and vegetable juice and put it on the table, speaking angrily.

“Vitamin supplements.”

Jason burst out laughing.

Damian was immediately furious: "What are you laughing at!"

Jason stood up and hugged Damian. "I swear, you will always be the most important person in my heart, incomparable."

You could tell this was a coaxing remark, but Damian froze for a moment. He turned around and sat next to Jason, hugging the bear, and watched him eat quietly.

"Actually... Mother also wants to be with you..."

"I know. Thalia and I talked about it."

Jason calmly replied, "When I was sleeping in the Middle East, every time I woke up, she was by my side. We talked briefly and she kissed me."

The man spoke in a very calm tone about how he had been kissed by his ex-husband.

Damian didn't know about this. He observed Jason's expression and said, "So what do you mean? Did you reject her?"

"I do not know."

Jason ate a pasta roll and sighed.

"I truly loved them, but we have been apart for too long. And to be honest, I used to be so devoted to love because... I was always lonely inside, as if something was missing, but now I no longer lack that."

"Because of you, Damian, I feel complete inside and don't need a relationship anymore."

Damian: “…Tsk!”

This guy's speech is getting better and better.

Damian didn't say that he didn't like what Jason said, he just felt a little embarrassed.

"So, I agreed with them to start over as friends. If there is an opportunity to develop into a romantic relationship again in the future, I will definitely not refuse. But if I don't have any feelings for them, I don't want to make it difficult for myself to be in a relationship with someone I don't have feelings for."
