[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

There are rumors that Gotham baby Bruce is addicted to his adopted son, and that adopted son No. 1 adopted another adopted son No. 2 when he grew up. But no matter what the outside world says, Jason enjoys living with Bruce and Alfred.

Although Jason felt a little suffocated because he was not allowed to go on night patrol until his ribs were healed, it felt so good to be cared for by Bruce. They enjoyed a movie night together. Bruce rarely went on night patrol, but sat on the soft sofa with Jason to watch a movie.

Sometimes Jason would fall asleep while watching, and Bruce would let the child sleep soundly against him, cover Jason with a blanket, and take the popcorn bucket that Jason was holding in his own hands to eat while watching.

Finally, under Ah Fu's disapproving gaze, he would silently put down the popcorn and carry Jason, who was curled up in the blanket, back to the room.

Jason didn't say that he sometimes woke up when he was being moved, and then he would just close his eyes and feel Bruce gently put him on the bed and cover him with a blanket.

He had never received this kind of care from Willis and Katherine in the previous 13 years, and Bruce gave Jason the part that he had been missing and craving.

Jason really likes being held by Bruce. His hug is warm and powerful, always making Jason feel safe.

While Jason was recovering from his injury, Bruce discovered that the child was always prone to nightmares after falling asleep, so he told Jason that if he really couldn't sleep because of nightmares, he could go to his room, and he was willing to share his bed and pillow with his son.

As long as he was by Bruce's side, Jason wouldn't have nightmares, so Jason would occasionally sneak into his father's room, gently get into Bruce's quilt, then close his eyes and fall asleep, and when he woke up again, he would definitely be in Bruce's arms.

But what little Robin didn't know was that it was not only the sense of security Bruce gave that stopped him from having nightmares, but Bruce also slept well all night because of the baby bird pillow.

As Alfu watched, he knew that Bruce and Jason had a wonderful, mutually healing relationship, and they became better because of each other.

Later, Bruce took Jason to work on the school's science fair assignment.

Batman is proficient in mechanics, and Jason has dismantled all the machinery in the Batman's house and is also an expert at it. The two of them kept twisting with screwdrivers, and finally put on masks and welded it coldly, and they managed to make a remote-controlled excavation robot.

Jason: "Why a digging robot?"

Bruce said proudly: "This is not an ordinary excavation robot. It has infrared night vision and is equipped with the most advanced sensors. It can even explore Mars by changing the material. Believe me, this will be the coolest work in the entire science and technology exhibition!"

Jason: "..."

It’s just a student science and technology exhibition held by a middle school. Is it necessary?

By the way, Bruce also designed a new uniform for Jason, still red, yellow and green with a beige cape, and a pair of green elf boots, but with an extra pair of pants.

Jason felt that this uniform looked much warmer. After all, he was not like Dicky Bird who could jump around with bare legs in the middle of winter. He had been afraid of cold since he was a child.

Time flies, and it is January 1th in a flash. The U.S. Championships will be held in New York. Generally speaking, American ice and snow competitions tend to be held in Lake Placid in New York County, which was also the venue for the 9 and 32 Winter Olympics. The venue, environment and temperature are all suitable.

But this year, the Wayne Group has become the sponsor of the U.S. Championships. If they say they want to compete in downtown New York City, then they have to compete here.

It is said that if it weren't for the lunatics in Arkham who always like to hang out, this year's US Championship might have been held in Gotham. However, due to the lunatics' unremitting destruction of law and order, the venue of the competition was moved to New York, a place Jason had always longed to visit but never had the chance to visit.

The venue is the Pilot Ice and Snow Sports Center in Queens. The size of the ice rink here meets the standards of international competitions. Before the competition, a special person comes to tidy up the ice surface of the rink. Generally speaking, the ice surface of an international-level figure skating rink is required to be frozen hard and thick enough, and it is best to add milk to maintain it so that the ice surface has toughness. This is very luxurious, but with the Wayne Group as the boss, adding milk is no big deal. They can add it if they say so, and make it as luxurious as possible.

Jason originally didn't know that Wayne Group had become the sponsor of this event. When he learned about Bruce's generosity, the kid was immediately stunned.

Jason Todd, the leader of the men's singles event at Gotham Middle School's figure skating club, who has only learned figure skating for a year but can already perform 5 triple jumps and a difficult hand-raising gesture while jumping, and is recognized by coach Ed as a super genius. He initially stepped onto the ice only out of a sense of commemoration for his neighbor's sister Andrea.

He decided to go out and compete just to fulfill Andrea's wish, but now that Bruce has done this, it will be a huge embarrassment if he doesn't perform well!

Jason held the kettle of red dates and wolfberries and said in confusion, "Isn't this too exaggerated?"

He had just finished his second menstrual period two days before his departure, which was so painful that it felt like a knife was stabbing his lower abdomen. Recently, he has been eating blood-enriching foods.

Shanni smiled happily and patted his shoulder. "It's not an exaggeration. When your brother represented the school gymnastics team to compete, your father did the same thing. He has money and chose to love you in this way. Then it goes on."

But the problem is that Dick Grayson's gymnastics level is good enough to win a medal in the Olympics, while Jason had never even touched the ice a year ago. How can they be compared!

Dickie Bird won't embarrass Bruce, but Jason might! What if he collapses?

You have to know that his ribs were still broken a month and a half ago. Although Superman later took Jason to the Fortress of Solitude and used the medical equipment there to speed up the healing of Jason's injuries, he still occasionally felt a dull pain in the injured area.

In short, the little robin felt the heavy weight of his father's love on his shoulders for the first time, but he was not happy at all.

At this time, teacher Natalia, who was sitting in the back seat, smiled and coaxed Jason: "The coach said that your jumping technique is very good and your physical strength is very strong. You can put the technical action with the highest score, such as jumping, in the second half of the program. In this way, your jumping score will be multiplied by 1.1 times."

What's more, this child has good flexibility, strong core strength, beautiful spins, and powerful legs and ankles, which enables him to skate fast on the ice. This advantage in terms of talent is so great that Natalia feels that as long as Jason holds on and doesn't make mistakes in the competition, he will have a great chance of winning the youth group (13-19 years old is the youth group, and he can be promoted to the adult group when he turns 15).

Although many parents are willing to accompany their children to participate in the competition, Bruce has to be on duty at the Watchtower today to deal with some incidents caused by aliens, and Alfred has to do logistics in the Batcave, so in addition to Coach Ed, Jason's ballet teacher Natalia is also bringing him to the competition.

Sometimes Natalia treats Jason very similarly to Catwoman, both are very cool older sisters. She will buy juice for Jason after class and not allow him to drink Coke or beer, but occasionally she will bring him some snacks or something. Occasionally, when Alfu is too busy, Jason has to go to and from get out of class by himself, and Natalia will drive him home.

After a while, they developed a relationship where Jason was willing to bring homemade cupcakes to Natalia, and Jason's short program and free skate were choreographed for him by Coach Ed and Natalia.

It was not until they entered the heated hotel lobby that Natalia asked Jason to take off his scarf and coat like a mother, checked him in, packed his luggage, and took Jason to the rooftop to see the night view of New York.

The hotel Bruce arranged for me was naturally the best one, with an outdoor swimming pool on the top floor. However, the weather was too cold, so no one would come here at this time.

Natalia pointed to the tall statue not far away and said, "Look, that's the Statue of Liberty. When you're done, I can take you there to play, and then to Manhattan for shopping. You can buy a lot of things to take home as gifts."

Jason looked at her and asked, "Do you want to go there?"

Natalia was silent for a moment and shook her head: "I don't really want to. I've been there too many times before."

Jason asked again: "Which place in New York do you like best?"

Natalia thought for a moment and replied, "Central Park is nice. It's very pleasant to have a picnic there, and you can occasionally feed the squirrels, and then go find a movie theater to watch a movie."

Jason made the final decision: "That's what we'll do."

Natalia chuckled: "Really? This itinerary is boring. You will find it uninteresting. I remember you wanted to visit New York. You like this city very much, right?"

Jason shook his head. “I once longed for this place, but I still love Gotham the most.”

When he was young, he just longed to go to a place safer and brighter than Gotham to start a new life with his mother. New York, which had the best drug rehabilitation center donated by Stark, naturally made him yearn for it.

But when Katherine and Andrea left him, Jason realized that he belonged to Gotham after all, and one day he would die in that city. After Bruce adopted him, he had a new dream, which was to make Gotham no longer so dangerous and gloomy one day in the future.

He is the son of Gotham, born and raised here. Gotham is like a gorgeous and decadent mother, constantly falling into the abyss, but no child will abandon his mother, just as Jason did not give up Katherine.

When he returned to the room, Jason vaguely remembered that Natalia's action of taking him to the rooftop was a bit puzzling.

However, the tension brought by the huge pressure before the game seemed to be blown away by the night wind high above New York, leaving only the tranquility after the prosperity.

The U.S. Championships' men's singles junior event was held at 2 p.m. When Jason came out wearing something that looked a bit like a Blue Jay Costume (competition costume), his teachers and friends encouraged him generously.

Coach Ed slammed the barrier separating the ice rink and the aisle behind him: "Jason, go!"

Natalia, Sunny and other relatives and friends also encouraged him. Jason nodded, took off the blade covers on his skates, and then went onto the white ice rink and skated towards the center of the rink.

On this day, Jason Todd Wayne, who is hailed as the most gifted figure skating prodigy after Johnny Weir, showed his strength at the Pilot Snow and Ice Sports Center.
