[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

The Teen Titans rested for a while, ate and slept, and treated their wounds. A few hours later, they were called up to listen to the adults explain the situation, arrange the battle plan, divide into task forces, and prepare to save the world.

Dick put on his new uniform, and to be honest, it looked very handsome. His friends all praised the designer's excellent taste, which was much better than Dick's. Juan and Jim also looked more charming under the outline of this tight suit.

Dick proudly said: "Of course, this is a penny design. He is the most tasteful man I have ever met."

Then Dick was packed up and boarded Wayne's private plane with Jason, flying to the capital of Tovernia openly.

Let me explain here that Jason practiced figure skating, and the Figure Skating Junior Grand Prix (athletes aged 13-19 are in the youth group, and those who are 15 years old can choose to enter the adult group) has a total of six stages, and the participating athletes choose to participate in two of them and accumulate points based on their ranking in the competition. The top six in points will enter the finals.

It is now the end of November, and five of the six races have been completed, with the sixth taking place in the capital of Tunisia.

That's right, as the king of a famous centralized small country in Eastern Europe, Doctor Doom does not just abuse his power. As a villain with style, he does everything he should do, such as hosting certain international events and improving the national sports spirit. The sports authorities under his command will also do so.

Otherwise, how come even the United Nations recognizes this guy's status as the head of state... Apart from his unique national political system, he is really awesome in other aspects.

Bruce spent money to buy Jason a wild card, and claimed to the outside world that he was the richest man in Gotham and he wanted to send his adopted son to participate in the competition to see the world. Even if he only participated in one round of the race and couldn't allow Jason to accumulate enough points to enter the finals, it didn't matter, because participation was what mattered.

Figure skating is an expensive sport. A certain amount of milk has to be added to the ice rinks of international competitions so that the frozen ice will be tougher. In previous years, the youth group competitions did not have this treatment. But with Bruce's spending so much money, not to mention milk, the organizers of this year's youth Grand Prix even mixed goat's milk and camel's milk. For a while, the media said that baby Bruce loves his adopted son No. 2 very much.

#Batman:I'mrich#

Jason was not happy at all about being hurt. He felt that he was just a tool to help Dicky Bird enter Tovernia openly. The most important thing was that Batman made him fake a fall and withdraw from the competition during the pre-match practice, and then go back to the hotel to lie down and recuperate.

In other words, his only task was to fake a fall, and he had nothing to do after the fall. He was not even allowed to compete, because figure skating is a risky sport and there are many skaters who have broken bones while doing triple jumps. What's more, Jason had three ribs broken by Superman and was bleeding profusely.

In this case, it is understandable that Batman does not include him in the combat sequence and infiltration mission group.

He looked at Batman and asked, "What about you? You're not coming with us?"

Batman only gave him one sentence: "I won't act with you."

Jason wanted to ask more, but Batman just said, "Robin, follow orders."

At that moment, Jason felt that even Krypton was not comfortable with it, and Dicky Bird was snorting beside him, as if he was dissatisfied with Batman's behavior of not explaining anything to his partner.

On the plane, Jason could sit far away from Dick, looking expressionlessly at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window and the Atlantic Ocean below, with a gloomy look on his face.

He looked very uncomfortable, Dick thought, maybe this kid was really unhappy. He could understand Jason's mood at the moment, really, because when Dick was Robin, he was always eager to participate in every action of Batman and always stand by his mentor.

Being Robin will always be one of his happiest memories. Dick could not deny this even when he and Bruce were arguing the most. Because he valued him, he longed for more trust, but Bruce was always used to dismissing him by "obeying orders", which made Dick's desire to express himself and be independent even stronger.

Jason's regard and love for Bruce is obvious. Bruce brought him out of Crime Alley, gave him a much better living environment than before, taught him and cared for him. It is natural that Jason would be sad that Bruce was unwilling to give him more trust.

He is just a kid, why should I bother with him?

Even if Jason rejected and hated him and wanted to compete with him, that was not a reason for Dick to fight with a child, and it was certainly not a heroic act.

Dick Grayson should be sunny and cheerful. He can always encourage his friends with his smile, liven up the stagnant atmosphere, help sad people get out of confusion and pain, and care about everyone considerately. However, when facing Jason, he always fails to maintain the proper attitude.

Dick sighed to himself, stood up and knocked on the back of the chair next to Jason, who turned around to look at him.

"What?"

"Tov|nia is located between Estonia and Latvia. It's the end of November now. We're almost there. You should wear more clothes, otherwise Ah Fu will worry about you again."

Jason raised his eyes and looked seriously at the young man in front of him, Dick Grayson, the former Robin, whom he had admired and longed for.

Perhaps it was some mysterious talent that made little Robin naturally sensitive to other people's emotions, which gave him extraordinary empathy.

Of course, he also knew that Dick was a good person. Even if Dick was not willing to accept him from the bottom of his heart, he would still treat him "fairly and justly", just like giving a warm smile to those poor people who had to go astray when Nightwing met during his night patrol.

Even if the concern he showed at this moment was not sincere from the heart, and even a bit cheap and perfunctory, the fact that he could show such polite friendliness was enough to show that Dick was kinder than most people Jason had met before.

Jason stood up and took out a knitted coat from his bag. The camel-colored wool looked very warm, and there was a pair of deer antlers sewn on the hood.

He whispered "thank you" and Dick smiled and said "you're welcome". This was the most peaceful conversation the two had ever had since they met. It seemed a bit disgustingly hypocritical to Jason.

This was not the conversation with the wonder boy he had imagined as a child.

Jason once shivered in a cardboard box and endured hunger, fantasizing that one day he would grow up, find a proper job, and then meet a stranger in a small shop one day. They would drink some milk tea and start a conversation, telling each other about their lives and troubles.

Jason would say, "I've been through a lot of shit, but I survived and became a good person. It seems that Batman and Robin's efforts were not in vain. At least they inspired people like me."

And that stranger in Jason's dream was of course the grown-up Robin. He did not look at Dick with arrogant tinted glasses like others did, despising his poor background and past. Instead, he gently replied, "You did a good job. It made me feel that everything they did was meaningful."

Yes, even when he was most confused and helpless, Jason still believed that Batman and Robin, who were willing to risk their lives as vigilantes, were great people and the light of hope for this gloomy city.

He had such dreams to convince himself not to degenerate into an even uglier state.

But when Jason heard Dick say "No, he's not" for the first time, he understood that Robin was not a perfect person either. Dick would quarrel with Bruce and would not go home or call home for several months.

The first Robin, Nightwing, Golden Boy... The man with these titles was actually just a 20-year-old mortal. Apart from putting his head on his belt at night to uphold justice, he was no different from ordinary young people.

He was not mature enough to have the patience to sit down and listen to the homeless street kid in Crime Alley telling him about his miserable past that was not worth mentioning. Of course, Jason now realized that his past was not in line with the bright and warm Wayne Manor and the lively and righteous Robin. Burying the past forever was the best option.

It was better this way. He shouldn't have expected too much. Jason thought he was also wrong. He hated being looked at through a filter, but he unconsciously looked at Dick through the filter of the "golden boy" and placed too much expectation on Dick without authorization.

Jason dragged his suitcase off the plane, tightened his collar, and exhaled a breath of white air.

Dick snatched the suitcase handle from his hand and winked: "We are here, we should start being good brothers."

It's time for them to start acting.

Dick's expression at this moment was as bright as the morning light in Tovernia. His face with clean and smooth lines was so handsome that passers-by stared at him sideways. He looked no different from usual.

Jason thought that this guy must have acted a lot in his daily life. He turned around to pick up Krypton and took the big white dog to the hotel. Don’t mention that pets are not allowed in the hotel. Bruce is rich, so he doesn’t have to worry about many problems.

Dick thought he did a good job. Jason was not as difficult to deal with as he had imagined. Perhaps because he was on a mission, the kid did not cause him any trouble.

Afterwards, Jason completed the fake fall as planned and stayed in the hotel with a power warmer to heal his ribs, while Dick pretended to be a good brother who was going to buy some local specialties to take home, wandered around outside, and got to know the local terrain.

Jason would occasionally go out with Dick because Tovernia is a Russian-speaking area and the residents here generally speak Russian. Dick can speak French, Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese, but his Russian is not very good. Jason speaks Russian very well.

At night, Nightwing, receiving instructions from Batman, sneaked into the palace and began to look for Professor X.

He had 10 minutes to reach the location given by Batman. Thanks to the technical support of Batman, Mr. Fantastic and Cyborg, although Nightwing's operation was not smooth, after several thrilling twists and turns, he finally got near the target.

Just as he was about to pick the lock and enter the room to find the professor, a blue hand stretched out from behind him. Nightwing's expression was startled and he nimbly avoided the fist that almost hit his kidney.

He turned around and saw a man dressed in the clothes of a palace guard and with an ordinary Eastern European male's face. He raised his blue hand and gave him a half-smile.

Nightwing's mind raced. He raised an eyebrow and whispered, "Mystique?"

Mystique grinned: "Hmm, what a clever little bird."

At the same time, Jason, who was sitting on the balcony of the hotel and eating red dates, stood up and looked towards the rooftop in the southeast direction in confusion. A young man with a blue body and a tail suddenly appeared there, supporting a girl.

"Spatial abilities? A mutant?"

And they were obviously injured, even at night, little Robin still noticed this with his good eyesight.

The appearance of injured mutants in Tovinia is a huge amount of information.

Seeing that they had no plans to move for the time being and seemed to be planning to rest on the rooftop for a while, Jason immediately put on a domino mask, changed into a uniform, and carried a medical kit in his hand.

"Xiao Krypton, take me to those two people."

The Kryptonian dog barked and flew out with the little robin in its arms.
