[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

Jason actually didn't want to attend this party. It's not that he didn't want to accompany Bruce, but he also knew that in the eyes of many people, he was just a "lucky beggar."

Jason Todd, the son of a gangster and a female prostitute,

If Bruce hadn't adopted him, he wouldn't even be worthy of touching the clothes of these people in his life. This is what many people think of Jason.

Even though Jason wore a well-fitting high-end suit, a bow tie, and blue contact lenses in his eye sockets, he looked obedient and polite standing next to Bruce. He was able to take up any literature-related topic and answer extremely difficult Olympiad questions. He was even recommended by his school teachers to participate in the Olympiad and dreamed of becoming a Princeton student like Bruce in the future.

Yes, his background will always be a point of criticism.

Jason had disliked his parents before, after all, they were really terrible, but that didn't mean he didn't have feelings for them.

When old Willis was not that bad yet, when Jason was about 3 years old and began to remember things, he once took Jason to see a circus performance. Yes, the three members of the Flying Grayson family were all there at that time. But later he was defeated by life and did a lot of bad things to Jason, including beating and scolding, until he went to jail.

As for Catherine, Jason saw with his own eyes how she collapsed beyond repair. One time, she really had no money to buy drugs, so she managed to stay awake for a whole day. At that time, she took Jason shopping, just for fun, and Jason missed half a day of class because of this.

Later, she led Jason to sit on a bench, held his face in her hands, and sighed, "You are really beautiful, Jay, so beautiful that you don't look like my child."

At that time, her eyes were deep: "You know? A face like yours is very valuable in the eyes of some people. If I raised you as a girl, you would have been able to make money for me since last year. The girls in Crime Alley are all miserable, and you are a rare commodity."

These words frightened Jason. He sensed a hint of seriousness in Catherine's casual tone and took a step back involuntarily.

Then Catherine came back to her senses. She leaned over and hugged Jason, coaxing him softly: "Don't be afraid, my child, I won't do that."

Catherine's tears fell on his shoulder, hot and scalding.

Catherine said: "Protecting you is the only good thing I can do now. I won't sell you out."

And she really never sold Jason until her death, even though she might have really had such an idea, but such a mother can be considered a conscientious person in Crime Alley. The fact that Jason was able to live with a clean record until Bruce adopted him was inseparable from Katherine's willingness to protect him.

Fortunately, Tim would also come to the party. He said that he didn't like places that were too crowded, so Jason promised him that after the two of them met up, he would take him to the garden lawn of Wayne Manor, where they could read Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Nile" together.

Jason likes reading, and Tim also happens to like reading, which is great. Although Sunny is also Jason's good friend, she is more science-oriented, and the worst thing is that she is not as good at science as Jason. But when Jason finished reading her textbooks and started thinking about getting some SAT preparation materials, Sunny was still worrying about the final exam.

After all, Jason has a level 5 brain, but Sunny doesn't, and Jason always sets high standards for himself. Once he only got an A in his German test, which made Jason gloomy for two days. Since he got the opportunity to receive education from Bruce again, even though vigilante activities and figure skating training occupied most of his extracurricular time, he never got a grade below A+.

While trying to squeeze through the crowd, Jason accidentally bumped into someone.

She was wearing high heels and looked to be over 1.80 meters tall, with long curly black hair. Her eyes were as blue as the autumn mist in Gotham, bright and clear, and she was wearing a royal blue fishtail skirt that brought out her perfect hip line.

This was a stunning young lady, but there were many supermodels at Brucie Baby's party, and Jason was not surprised.

He said, "Sorry," and continued walking towards Tim.

And when they arrived at the garden, there were already other people there.

Jason knew these two people. One was Roy Harper, a member of the Teen Titans codenamed Fast Hand and Red Arrow. He was a buddy of Dick and was said to be in love with Wonder Girl Donna recently (by the way, didn’t Donna have an affair with Dick?).

He was eating from the buffet with a plate in his hand. When he saw Jason, he looked up and smiled. It looked a little silly, but given the kindness he had shown, Jason nodded at him.

The other is Chairman Osborne’s only son, Harry Osborne, who is 8 years younger than Jason. He is only 5 years old and looks introverted and quiet. He sits on the lawn in a daze.

Jason could see that he was very relaxed in this quiet daze, so he considerately did not disturb little Osborn, but pulled Tim to the other side to read. Unknowingly, Roy also joined their conversation.

It can be seen that Roy is not a person who is particularly keen on reading, but perhaps due to the influence of vigilante life on a person's growth, he also has unique insights into detective novels, some of which resonate with Jason.

After chatting for a few words, Roy smiled at Jason and said, "You are a good guy, much worse than I originally thought. I apologize for my prejudice against you and my bad attitude when we first met."

He extended his hand gracefully, and Jason shook Roy's hand in return.

"You're welcome. My attitude towards you guys isn't much better, so let's call it even."

Tim watched this scene from the side, blinking his blue eyes, and thought that maybe he could check the identity and background of Roy Harper through the Internet later, and maybe he would get some interesting information.

After a while, Harry Osborn also sat next to them with his legs crossed, listening to the three older brothers chatting. When Jason saw him, he didn't say hello, but just threw a candy into the little boy's hand. Harry caught the candy in a hurry and lowered his head to pinch the candy wrapper.

Until Jason remembered that there was an extra-large bat birthday cake in the refrigerator that he hadn't finished eating at noon. He thought that the cake would go bad if left for too long, so he might as well share it with his new friends. So he said goodbye to Tim and got up to get the cake.

Then he received a text message from Barbara and saw the Joker and his men walk into the banquet hall.

A banquet hall where some of the richest people in the United States gather, including Batman, Green Arrow, and the White Queen.

The Joker is really a troublemaker. He always goes to the places that no one wants him to go, causing the most unhappiness to everyone. And now this bastard wants to ruin Bruce's birthday party! Jason can't stand this!

He returned to the garden, took Tim and Harry to the greenhouse first, asked Tim to watch Harry, and then gave the two children a handful of candy each.

Jason warned them seriously: "Just stay here and hide unless your parents come to find you, or Roy and I come over. Do you understand?"

Tim hugged Harry and gave Jason a thumbs up: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Harry."

Jason was quite confident in Tim. He first let Roy take the side road to get his equipment as a swift man, while he also went to change into Robin's equipment.

Then he saw a man removing his makeup in his room. He was shirtless and only in his underwear, and the royal blue fishtail skirt was casually thrown on the ground next to him.

The frightened little Robin picked up the electric shock device on the bedside and said, "Fuck! Who are you? What are you doing in my room?"

Dick looked back with an embarrassed expression.

"It's me, Little Wing. I need to remove my makeup, but I don't have any in my own room. I guess you have one, so I'd like to borrow it."

Injuries are inevitable during night patrols, so Batman and Robin's rooms are equipped with super useful concealer, makeup remover and other supplies.

Jason opened his mouth and exclaimed, "Wow."

Jason had taken camouflage classes, but he didn't expect Nightwing to be so good at disguising himself as a woman. He didn't even realize that this guy was actually Dick Grayson.

No, isn't this person in Blüdhaven? Why is he in Gotham to attend the party?

Hearing Jason's question, Dick immediately changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this for now, let's pack up and go save people."

The two looked at each other, each of them busy changing their equipment, and then quickly discussed the battle plan as they headed to the banquet hall.

Nightwing: "Throw the smoke bomb first, then we'll go get rid of all the gunmen. There are 20 armed gangsters inside. With Tony Stark's position as the central axis, I'll take care of the 7 on the left, you and Red Arrow will take care of the 13 on the right, and I'll take care of the Joker. Don't get close."

Little Robin retorted: "But throwing smoke bombs suddenly will cause some panicked gangsters to shoot randomly. It's better to throw tear gas and flare bombs."

Nightwing: "That will affect Bruce, right?"

Little Robin: "There's no point in being so particular in this emergency. Bruce will understand us."

Nightwing: “…”

Sorry, B, I tried my best. No wonder this guy could take down Superman and Talia. His recklessness is unmatched.

He nodded decisively: "Then throw tear gas and flare bombs at the same time, and knock down as many as you can!"

The two bat heroes met up with Red Arrow and repeated the plan. Red Arrow nodded happily to show that he would cooperate, completely forgetting that his adoptive father Oliver Queen was also in the banquet hall and was one of the people affected.

He even patted Jason on the shoulder and praised him, "I knew you would suit my taste."

For some reason, Dick felt a faint sadness when looking at Roy and Jason.

You really have to be careful when raising children these days. If you are not careful, you might pick up a bad one, which will not only hurt others but also yourself.

So the three teenagers happily decided to get started.

Nightwing waved his hand: "Action!"

Fortunately, the Joker didn't bring too much force this time, so the three young superheroes could handle the situation without any injuries. What's more, they had the upper hand. The tear gas alone knocked down a group of people, and the flare bombs made countless people cover their eyes.

Nightwing just didn't expect his successor to be so bold, and after rushing into the ballroom, he rushed directly towards the Joker who was approaching Bruce.

Little Robin raised his electric baton and hit the clown on the head. After the sneak attack, he broke the clown's legs and hands before turning around to deal with the rest of the people.

At that moment, both Nightwing, who started to deal with the other gangsters, and Batman, who was disguised as Brucie's baby, felt a pang in their hearts.

The Joker is a psychopath. His fighting skills are not top-notch, but he is one of the most difficult villains to deal with. Ever since Jason took over as Robin, Bruce never brings Jason with him when he might encounter extremely dangerous criminals. And this time, Nightwing also plans to take down the Joker himself and bring the hatred to himself.

But Jason's actions were as fierce as a tiger. Not only did he launch a sneak attack, he also broke the man's limbs. Although it was logical to do so given the cruel and ruthless style of bat-like heroes and the dangerousness of the Joker, the Joker would definitely keep him in mind.

Although it was the first time they dealt with so many people together, the three young heroes maintained a good tacit understanding. They knocked everyone down, threw down smoke bombs and disappeared without a trace.

The bomb planted by the Joker was also dealt with by the genius Stark, and with Batman and Green Arrow in the banquet hall, they didn't have to worry about the follow-up.

It wasn't until they returned to the room that Dick grabbed Jason's wrist and yelled, "Robin, didn't B teach you to follow a battle plan?"

Kuaishou was startled by his sudden roar. You know, Nightwing is famous for his good temper, and he treats newcomers who make mistakes mainly by chatting and talking to them. He has never been so fierce.

For the first time, he found that an angry Nightwing was extremely scary.

Jason blinked and tilted his head to look at Nightwing. After a while, he tore off the Domino mask, raised his chin to Dick, showing a provocative expression and anger in his eyes.

"I knocked down the Joker and left him no chance to hurt anyone again. After we entered the banquet hall, no one was injured or killed. I don't think what I did was wrong, Nightwing, you'd better understand one thing. I don't belong to your team. I am Batman's Robin. You and I are just a temporary team. You have no right to order me around, let alone blame me!"

Looking at the two brothers in a tense atmosphere, Kuaishou was as quiet as a chicken. He didn't know how to persuade them to stop fighting. Rationally, he felt that Dick's anger was understandable, but Robin was the one who defeated the Joker and made great contributions. Nightwing really shouldn't have yelled at him.

After a while, he raised his hand and asked weakly, "Should we go back? Little Jie Niao, those two kids are still waiting for you to pick them up."

Jason snorted and turned to leave the room.
