[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

In order to help the returning half of the people integrate into the new world as soon as possible, promote the resumption of work and production, accelerate economic development, and create more jobs... In short, the Tianjian Bureau recruited a group of people.

One of the newcomers was recruited by Jason himself. Originally, Jason should have gone to bring the person into the bureau himself, but he had become smaller for three days, so he had to hand the matter over to Cassandra. Only when he returned to his normal size and returned to the bureau did he have time to call the newcomer into the office.

Although the other party is an absolute newcomer in the S.W.O.R.D., he and Jason are old acquaintances.

When Jason was still an athlete, the other party, as a newbie reporter, interviewed Jason.

"Eddie Brock, right? Long time no see."

Eddie looked at Jason with shaking hands. "Hello, I didn't expect that we would meet again. Uh, I mean, I'm very happy to see you resurrected. Thank you for recruiting me and Venom to join S.W.O.R.D., I will work hard."

Jason gave him a half-smile, "As long as he stops trying to eat the heads of his future colleagues."

Creatures like Venom have very keen perceptions. One glance at him from the Sorcerer Supreme who is the incarnation of the Soul Gem is enough to send the alarm bells ringing in his head.

Eddie sensed the fear in the tenant inside him and smiled dryly: "I promise, he won't dare to do that again."

"I know, so let me see your employment contract. Since you only have experience as an investigative journalist before, the contract I'm giving you is the same as that of an ordinary Level 2 agent, with the same salary, and insurance costs can be reimbursed..."

Jason skillfully spit out a string of benefits, successfully making Eddie relax, and his eyes gradually brightened.

Venom screamed in his heart, "Fool, don't be fooled by his illusion. Have you forgotten that when he came to force us to join this broken-down place, he slapped our souls out of our bodies with just one slap? He is definitely a high-risk person!"

Eddie screamed in his mind, "But the salary he offers is so high! And the contract he gave me is absolutely legal. This is an official department, and he is a superhero certified by both the Justice League and the Avengers. He is absolutely trustworthy!"

Eddie wants to get his ex-girlfriend back. A stable and high-paying job will undoubtedly be a great help in helping him achieve this goal. Besides, the director has said that the work of S.W.O.R.D. is to protect the earth and pursue world peace.

It’s all about love and peace!

Amid Venom's angry curse of "f*cking reporter", Eddie signed the contract and officially became an employee of S.W.O.R.D.

Oh no, it’s over, he will have to work under that monster with gold and green eyes from now on!

Venom was complaining in his heart, but he fell silent after Jason gave him a sidelong glance.

Don't dare to move. Don't dare to move.

Although everything was complicated, Jason was still able to handle it. Even in an era when many people had to work overtime, he could still get off work on time if there were no emergencies. His strong working ability attracted the attention of countless people.

But he is not just a homebody after get off work. Occasionally, he would have tea with his junior brother Strange and chat about who in a certain dimension is being dishonest recently and whether we should notify the Dark Justice League to beat up those guys or do it ourselves, you or me.

There are now two Supreme Sorcerers on Earth. The protection on the magic side is quite strong, and they can also distribute the power when fighting monsters.

However, the demons from the other dimension were relatively well behaved tonight, so they just drank tea.

Strange looked at Jason's ruddy face and joked, "You look younger than you did two years ago. Are you growing younger?"

Jason: "Thank you for the compliment. What about you? You successfully proposed to Dr. Kristen, right?"

Speaking of which, Strange's current income is quite unstable, but Dr. Christine still decided to marry him. She definitely loves Strange truly.

Strange coughed and said, "I'm fine. How about you? How many times have you dated your ex recently?"

Jason counted on his fingers. "Whenever I go home for dinner, I'll eat with Tim. I've been with Bucky a few times."

Although Johnny broke up with him, they are still friends, and that guy has a lot of experience in relationships. In fact, Jason would occasionally call him to ask about some relationship issues.

Also, a few years ago, he had left a teleportation coordinate in the Assassin's League so that Damian could go over and help when needed. After Talia was resurrected, he did not remove the coordinate, as if it was tacitly acknowledged that Jason could come and go freely in the Assassin's League.

Mulin has now gotten used to working with Dick and has given herself a codename, Nightstar. As Jason's magic power has grown, Mulin's body has also grown, and recently she looks like a 9 or 10 year old girl. She and Dick get along like real father and daughter, and the girl has even learned to call Alfu Grandpa, and Dick even gave her a bag of chocolates on Valentine's Day.

It was his favorite dark truffle chocolate. By the way, Johnny also gave Jason some Japanese raw chocolate that he liked very much. Jason couldn't finish it by himself, so he took Damian and Bruce to eat it together. Alfu also reminded him not to let Bruce eat too much sweets.

After all, people need to start paying attention to their blood sugar as they get older.

Jason complained about himself: "I feel like I'm more popular now than before."

Strange burst out laughing: "Aren't you always popular?"

"That's different. I've never been chased by several people at the same time before."

Jason laid on the table and sighed quietly, which reminded Strange of how the boy looked when he was young. Although Jason was only 19 years old now and was far from old, perhaps because the pressure had decreased, he sometimes acted a little more childish than when he was .

Or maybe it's just his nature? Strange was referring to Jason's ability to kick his enemies' asses while still delivering a few wisecracking remarks.

He thought for a while, then took out a little bear keychain and waved it in front of Jason.

Jason looked up: "What?"

"Someone gave this to you after you died last time without leaving any trace."

That was what happened after Jason jumped off the cliff and exchanged for the Soul Stone, and half of the world was brought back by Tony's snap of his fingers, but Jason hadn't yet been resurrected by Damian.

"You know, for those who left, they just lost consciousness for a while, and when they opened their eyes again, an old acquaintance, that is, you, was gone."

Strange placed the bear keychain next to Jason. Jason picked it up and found that it was still Paddington Bear.

Well, there are indeed many people who know that he likes this kind of bear.

Strange continued, "That was a young man. Well, I mean he looked younger than me, but he was actually much older than me. After all, he was a veteran who had fought in many battles. He couldn't believe that you were dead at first."

So after sending the six gems back, Sergeant Barnes did not go to S.H.I.E.L.D. and learn how to be a wall guardian from Fury right away, but started traveling around.

He moved to Jason's lounge in the Gotham Orphanage and treated it as his home. Wherever he went, he would send his things there, and Yin Sen would keep them for him. It was not until Jason was resurrected that Sergeant Barnes went to the dormitory arranged for him by SHIELD.

"He went to many places, including Finland, where he bought Santa Claus postcards and mailed them back to you. You were usually the recipient, even though you couldn't keep your word at that time. He also bought Paddington Bear merchandise in London. But after you were resurrected, he didn't let you see them. Instead, he put all the things away and asked me for a magic box to store them in. He also paid the storage fee."

Strange curled his lips and said, "At that time, he couldn't find anyone else to remember you. I was the only one he had met a few times, so he just came to talk to me. He asked me everything about you."

If you love someone, you will love his past life as well. That’s what Bucky did, and that’s what Jason did too.

Strange thought that in the timeline where Jason failed to be resurrected successfully, Bucky wandered around for three full years before finally joining SHIELD and starting work, but he never fell in love with anyone again after that.

Maybe he wasn't deliberately trying to keep anything for Jason. After all, Europeans and Americans don't have a strong awareness in this regard, but Bucky has indeed never loved anyone other than Jason.

He was the Winter Soldier, and later became a Level 10 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and later took over the position of Wallwatch, but then joined S.W.O.R.D. Under Abigail, he took over the position of director of S.W.O.R.D., and made many new friends and comrades-in-arms, experienced many battles, and had a life that was neither lonely nor boring and monotonous.

Then Jason remembered what the teacher had said to him when he was drinking with Natasha a while ago.

"Jay, you never lose faith in love because of a failed relationship. You always believe in love and have the ability to love. Now, are you ready to start over?"

Jason responded to her at that time by saying "I don't know".

He really doesn't know.

Just like that, some time passed, and it was summer, and Damian got his college diploma.

Well, although it is well known that most of the superheroes in the Batman family have a knowledge reserve at least equivalent to a doctoral degree before taking up their posts, Damian did not have a corresponding degree certificate before. It was not until after his resurrection that he entered university and then completed his degree at an extremely fast speed.

To celebrate this, Jason took three days off to take the kids out to play, only to find out that Damian already had an appointment.

Even though this little kid usually acts like a big shot, he also has friends of the same age, such as Superman's Joe. Damian also has a surprisingly good relationship with Artemis and Bizarro, and they have agreed to go to outer space together to play for a while.

Jason felt sad and lost, but it was normal for the child to grow up and have his own social circle, so he prepared to go back to work. Laura just came back from a mission, so he could take the girl to X College to play with her friends.

He didn't expect what he would see when he walked outside the S.W.O.R.D. headquarters.

At the entrance of the S.W.I.D. headquarters, there was a great-looking SUV parked. A dark-haired, dark-skinned beauty was leaning against the car, and people coming and going couldn't help but look at her.

Because of the Tolasarus Pond, she still looked very young, probably in her early thirties. After noticing Jason's arrival, she stood up straight, turned around and raised her red lips to Jason.

At this moment, the world seemed to be still, only the wind was still flowing. She walked closer step by step and stood in front of Jason. Jason seemed to see tears in her eyes, but also seemed not to see them.

"Hey, I guess you'd like to take a few days off for Damian, but he's not here right now, so if I'm not mistaken, would you like to use these few days off to take a road trip?"

She came to fulfill her promise.

Jason looked at her, stunned for a long moment, then he lowered his head and laughed. Talia also laughed. The two scheming people who had made a name for themselves in the other world, whose names alone were enough to scare many people, smiled at each other like this.

After a while, Jason stopped laughing and nodded to Talia.

"Okay, let's go."

He is willing to keep the appointment.

They left as soon as they said they would, with Talia sitting in the driver's seat and Jason sitting in the passenger seat, and the car sped away.

Eddie, who had just been to space with Laura, ran to the door, stunned.

Oh, my goodness! The director ran off with a super pretty older sister! He didn’t even go to work!

On the coastal highway on the east coast line, the scorching sun fell on the car. Jason put one hand on the side of the car and raised his head. The wind blew away his bangs, revealing his smooth forehead and flying eyebrows.

Talia held the steering wheel, looking straight ahead calmly. Jason turned his head to look at her profile.

They didn't say a word, but they seemed to understand everything.

To this day, there are too many things between them. Those things blocked them and made them separate in the end, but also tripped them up and prevented them from becoming complete strangers.

But love lasts forever. It is not love, but... trust, understanding and mutual support. It is also okay to call it friendship and friendship.

Until the SUV drove to the beach, Jason took off his shoes and followed Talia. Talia turned around, leaned over and splashed some water on Jason. Jason fought back without hesitation, then they each picked up a conch and sat on the beach to chat.

Talia asked Jason: "During the years since we were apart, have you ever met someone you can talk to?"

Jason thought for a moment and said, "How many are there? What about you?"

Talia replied: "Not really."

When it was time to part, Talia put on sunglasses and drove Jason home, and then they stood by the car and said goodbye.

"Goodbye, Jason."

"Goodbye, Thalia."

This is a farewell that has been long overdue, and now it can finally end.

Jason could see that Talia wanted to hug him before leaving, but she finally gave up and turned away in style.

The sound of wind blew from behind his head, and Jason grabbed it without turning back, only to find that what almost hit the back of his head was a potato chip, so it broke when he caught it.

Tim waved at him from his position leaning against the windowsill: "Hey, come up to eat."

Jason responded, "Coming."

The days passed peacefully (?), fighting monsters became a daily routine, but Jason didn't go on business trips very often.

It was not until he received a message from the Justice League that Jason packed up and rushed over. He ignored Nightstar, who was wearing a domino mask and jumping and waving beside Nightwing, and found his seat and sat down.

The little blue bird lowered its head in disappointment, and Nightwing's father rubbed its little head.

Jason felt upset. There was only a Red Robin between them. Was he really that disappointed?

After the meeting started, everyone learned from Batman's calm voice that when Damian and Superman's Joe, Artemis, and Bizarro went on a graduation trip to outer space, they accidentally got involved in a planet's anti-invasion war against the Kree.

Then they learned that the Kree Supreme Intelligence seemed to be preparing to take action against Earth.

To sum up, Batman is going to go to the alien planet with Superman to bring the child home, and Green Lantern is also ready to help. While Jason was listening, he sent a text message to his blue cat Lingxing who worked in the Red Lantern Corps, asking him to bring Orange and two little Devourers to help.

Red Robin whispered to him, "Do you want to join the action?"

Jason: "Go ahead, why not?"

Damian had been involved in this big event without knowing why, how could he just ignore it! And...

"As the director of S.W.O.R.D., I cannot let go of any force that has evil intentions towards Earth."

As Jason said this, he called Fury and asked him to inform Ms. Marvel. This was probably why everyone specifically notified him to come over.

After all, it is well known that Jason Todd Wayne AKA Red Hood, Hitman, Director of S.W.O.R.D., former Batman, and former consultant of the Justice League, is a famous boss who can bring a group of comrades with him when fighting in a group.
