[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

Jason and his coach bumped fists and were now skating toward the center of the rink, pounding and rubbing his thighs and buttocks to activate as much as possible the muscles that would be used during the competition, while making the sign of the cross on his body. Don't get me wrong, this is not a Christian prayer posture, but a way for figure skaters to confirm the body's axis.

Until he stood in the center, Jason looked ahead quietly with a distant look in his eyes.

He heard the word "figure skating" for the first time because of Andrea, and also for Andrea he tried to step onto the ice and finally decided to participate in this competition.

"Twilight" is Andrea's favorite movie. She has always been looking forward to the day when a man like Edward would drop from the sky and take her away from hardship and suffering. However, she ultimately failed to meet the man who saved her.

Now that Andrea has left this world forever, Jason is determined to perform this show well as a monument to Andrea in his heart.

As the music of "New Moon" sounded, Jason swung his arms and began to skate on the ice. After Natalia's instruction, he had learned how to make his limbs flexible and beautiful, making it all look like a dance. His small joints were naturally flexible, so doing all this was not as difficult as he had imagined.

Shanni looked at Jason in fascination: "I can't believe he came from Crime Alley. Look at how gracefully he dances now."

Natalia stood at the side and laughed softly: "Background can never determine what a person is like."

She didn't know who her parents were, but no matter what kind of people they were, Natalia knew that she would eventually become who she is now.

Jason is very light and has gained strength beyond his peers due to Batman's training, so he completed the jump with ease.

Whether it was the most difficult combination jump 3lz+3lo, the triple Lutz jump, or the double Axel jump, he did it lightly and calmly.

After yesterday's game, someone called Jason a "wonderful jumper", and now more and more people recognize this title.

In figure skating competitions, whoever can jump best wins the world, and being able to jump is an asset. Even though Jason was able to participate in the competition with a wild card, no one will question his eligibility now.

Strength is always the best proof.

At this time, Jason entered a set of joint rotations. His rotation speed was very fast, but because of the support of core strength, there was no displacement in the entire rotation.

If someone were looking at Jason from above at this moment, they would find that his right hand was grabbing his left foot, making his body rotate like a flowing donut. Yes, the name of this rotation is donut, and it also requires extremely high flexibility. Not many male players can do it.

After spinning six times in the donut posture, Jason changed his spinning posture to a sword-lifting swallow spin.

Natalia looked at the baby bird spinning on the ice and a smile flashed across her eyes.

When this child was spinning on the ice, he looked like a little man in a music box, cute and full of spirit.

At this moment, the style of music changed, and to the ethereal sound of the organ, the young boy flew on the ice like a swallow. His body posture was very good, making the event like a melodious poem floating in the decaying woods.

Jason remembered that a girl once pulled him to run in a dirty and messy alley. At that time, he believed that there was hope in Gotham. Hope really came to Jason one day, but the person who once pulled him was gone.

But it doesn't matter, he will always remember her.

The 13-year-old Jason created a miracle. When he first appeared in the youth group of the U.S. Championships, he cleaned his two programs, scoring 75.18 points and 152.79 points in the short program respectively, with a total score of 227.97 points.

Not only did he win the gold medal in the U.S. Figure Skating Championships junior men's singles event by a large margin, but his free skating score also broke the previous U.S. Championships junior record.

Naturally, the spot to participate in the World Youth Championship in March this year also fell into Jason's hands.

The moment Coach Ed saw Jason's score, he jumped up with joy. He hugged his young disciple and shouted, "I'm proud of you, Jay. You're the champion and can represent the United States in the World Youth Championship!"

And with Jason’s performance, Ed has no doubt that Jason will continue to win on a bigger stage!

Jason also smiled and narrowed his clear green eyes. He became the champion, stood at the highest point of the podium, and won a gold medal. This was also the only gold medal won by the Gotham High School Figure Skating Club in the US Championships this year.

As soon as he got off the podium, Jason said "thank you" while tiptoeing to hang the gold medal around Natalia's neck, which made Natalia look surprised.

Jason said to Natalia sincerely: "Thank you, Natalia, I mean it. You choreographed two great programs for me. I like them very much. You are the best dance teacher and choreographer I have ever seen."

Natalia was stunned for a moment, then half squatted and rubbed Jason's little head: "How many dance teachers and choreographers have you met? But... you are also the cutest student I have ever taught."

Although he looks a bit awkward, he actually respects his teachers, works hard when studying, and is thoughtful and grateful.

Natalia thought that Jason was like a little prince walking out of the mud, with a beautiful heart that made her want to hug him.

She thought so and did so, and Jason's earlobes turned red with embarrassment. He could only lower his head and quickly retreat two meters away. He looked completely devoid of the fierceness he had on the field, and only had the cuteness that made people want to wrap him up.

Later, Jason's little fanboy Tim was pulled over to be the photographer for their group photo. Naturally, relatives and friends such as Kurt, Katie, Sunny, and Tim also took photos with Jason wearing the gold medal.

The camera used to take photos with Kurt was the one that Kurt brought back home using teleportation.

Until the end, Ed tried to persuade Jason to give the gold medal to the school, but Jason shook his head firmly.

"Sorry, Ed, other gold medals are fine, but not this one. This is my first gold medal, and I want to treasure it."

Little Robin put the brand into the box with great care. He seemed to remember something and smiled happily unconsciously.

Seeing his expression, Katie said to Kurt with a knowing look on her face: "I already know who this gold medal will be given to."

Kurt nodded helplessly: "Yes, I guessed it too."

On the way back to the hotel, Jason received a text message.

【Alfred: Your performance is wonderful. 】

The young boy looked down at the text message with a smile on his face. He thought he should reply to Alfu and ask about Batman's situation, whether everything was going well, and whether he was injured.

He doesn't even care if B watches his game, but he hopes that he is doing well.

Jason had a lot to say, but in the end he could only reply, "Thank you, Afu."

The child was a little upset.

If it was the Golden Boy, he would definitely be able to express himself more frankly than him. No, if it was Richard Grayson, he might directly send a text message saying "I won the championship" to Bruce's phone, and maybe even attach an emoticon.

Jason sighed, holding the gold medal in his hand, thinking, he knew that this achievement was nothing, the golden boy had achieved higher achievements in his time, and the gymnastics club in the middle school still had his gold medals for winning three consecutive national gymnastics competitions.

So it seemed a bit exaggerated to text Bruce just for this, and it might even disturb Batman who was working.

Forget it, let’s talk about it after we get back, Jason thought as he put away the gold medal.

Jason had a great trip to New York. He got his first gold medal, went to the park with Natalia to feed squirrels, and went to a small movie theater with her to watch "Gone with the Wind".

Then he went to the amusement park with Shanni and other teammates, and won a teddy bear at the shooting booth.

Although Jason had hardly touched a gun before, he was indeed quite talented in this aspect. He would shoot wherever he was told to, and his hands never shook. His friends joked that if Jason couldn't make it in the figure skating circle in the future, he could try to join the army. Who knows, he might even be able to join the special forces in a few years.

Jason: "..."

Forget about joining the army, he can't even pass the physical examination, okay?

And for Jason, being Robin is the best thing. He can be by Bruce's side and work with him to deal with criminals and pull their Gotham out of the mud step by step.

He never thought that he would leave Bruce one day.

At this time, Jason was still planning to play in New York for two days and then return to Gotham to continue being Batman's assistant, and work hard to challenge the Axel triple jump (3A, which requires three and a half turns in the air and is the most difficult of the triple jumps). Fortunately, he achieved good results in the World Youth Championships.

But soon, his trip to New York was forcibly interrupted, and he was sent back to Gotham lying down.

The incident started when Jason went to the park to feed squirrels again. He found that the squirrels there were very smart and friendly to him. If he offered them peeled nuts, the squirrels would allow him to rub them.

Jason himself raised a group of stray cats. At least half of his pocket money was spent on these furry cats. They were not very resistant to squirrels.

So he couldn't help it and came here with Natalia for the second time.

As soon as he went out, he happened to see a happy family having a picnic on a piece of grass. Then the scene changed, and somehow a group of syndicates came here to carry out lynching. After discovering that there were some strangers around (the picnic family, Jason), they immediately prepared to kill them to silence them.

You can imagine the scene. When the gun is pointed at this side, the young superhero who can reverse the huge changes doesn't even have a chance to change his uniform.

Finally, he could only pounce when the group pointed their guns at the picnicking family, but Natalia also suddenly took action at this time.

Her skills were better than Jason's, and together with the male host of the picnic family, the three of them unconsciously joined forces. When all the □□ were lying down, they each covered their wounds and looked at the other two in surprise and suspicion.

Ok, they all know that they are not ordinary people, so what about the two next to them? This kind of fighting power that can defeat a group of gangsters is not available everywhere.

However, it is not always possible to have the luck to run into Robin, Black Widow, or Punisher (this title has not been activated) when you want to silence someone.

As for getting injured, there was nothing they could do about it. After all, they were not made of steel when doing such things at close range, so there would always be a price to pay.

Natalia covered her shoulder and shrugged at Jason: "I was in the military before."

The male host of the picnic house hugged his thighs and looked at Natalia cautiously: "What a coincidence, I've been there too."

Jason covered the wound on his left abdomen. He was first glad that he was not hit in any vital organs, and then he felt like crying but had no tears.

If it had been a little more off the mark, his trip to the World Youth Championship would have been canceled, and he might have been forced to stay at home to recuperate and do logistics, and would not be allowed to go out on night patrols with Batman.

The child asked weakly, "Do we need a doctor more now?"

Two adults: “…”

Later, when Jason entered the hospital, he saw the man holding out his hand to him: "I'm Frank Custer. No matter what, I'm grateful that you helped protect my wife and daughter in times of crisis. I owe you my life."

Jason and Frank high-fived each other. “You’re welcome.”

Natalia was lying on the next bed. She gave Frank a charming smile: "You used to be a captain in the Marine Corps, right? Do me a favor. When the police ask you, just say that you did it all by yourself."

She said gracefully, "Neither the child nor I want to attract attention."

Jason looked at Natalia with a strange look and nodded, and Frank agreed to their request. With the deliberate cover-up of the two adults, Natalia and Frank, Jason was finally able to play the role of an innocent passerby in this case.

When Bruce found out what happened to Jason in New York and asked Alfred to take Jason back to Gotham, little Robin was not surprised to see the expression of his own big bat so dark that it could drip ink.

At this time, Jason already knew that his ballet teacher was not an ordinary person, and said goodbye to her. Natalia told Jason that her real name was "Natasha".

Before they parted, Natasha hugged Jason again, reminded him to be more cautious of strangers in the future, and told him that she had a very pleasant time as his ballet teacher.

This made Jason feel that maybe their teacher-student relationship was a little fake, but the friendship they had formed during this time was real.

Well, it seems that Bruce is right not to think so. Jason is sure that Natasha has been thoroughly investigated by Batman, and her true identity also shocked Jason.

Former Soviet Red House agent, current SHIELD employee - Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff.

This was truly remarkable information, and Jason was also surprised by Natasha's actual age.

Little Robin stared at the computer: "She's actually older than Alfred!"

Bruce knocked him on the forehead and thought, this is what this kid is paying attention to?

After Batman finished his work in the Watchtower, he immediately connected to Alfred's network to watch Jason's figure skating competition broadcast. He watched the kid's show carefully and was happy that he had the opportunity to go to a higher level competition.

Then Jason went back to Gotham in a daze. Which parent would be happy about this? If it weren't for Jason's good attitude in admitting his mistakes and that he was also an innocent victim, Bruce would have scolded him long ago.

Jason covered his head and cried out in pain. He looked at Bruce a little aggrieved and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Batman looked down at Little Robin and asked, "What went wrong?"

Jason lowered his head and said, "I was too lax in my vigilance. There was always an agent by my side, but I didn't notice anything was wrong, so she easily gained my trust and information."

Bruce was silent for a few seconds. Seeing that he was sincerely admitting his mistake, he wanted to reach out and pat the little head, but he put his hand back and just said stiffly, "I will strengthen your training in this area later."

Jason blinked and looked up at Bruce again, taking a tentative step closer.

Bruce looked at the little guy seriously, ready to see what he would do.

Jason moved forward like this, moved to Bruce's side, took out the gold medal from his pocket, held it up, and looked at Bruce eagerly.

After a while, Bruce squatted down and let Jason put the gold medal around his neck.

Jason said shyly, "Thank you, Oldman. Without you, I wouldn't have won this gold medal. I want to give it to you."

Bruce sighed, and he pressed Jason's little head and said, "Thank you, but I would be happier if you could learn to protect yourself."

"Jason, I know you want to protect many people, but your own life is also precious. Can you understand that?"

Little Robin replied seriously: "I understand, Bruce, there were many times when I didn't want to live, but since I came to you, I don't want to die more than ever."

He plucked up the courage to hug Bruce, looked up at Bruce and smiled, then squinted his eyes and rubbed Bruce's chest, like a coquettish kitten.

Every time he held Jason in his arms, Bruce was surprised at how small the child was. Was he really 13 years old?

But at this moment he was staring at Jason's eyes. When they first met, there was only vigilance and precaution, as well as the pain left by suffering in those eyes.

But now, there is light in these clear green eyes.

It was the light that Bruce lit.
