[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle
Chapter 40 Chapter 40
In fact, Jason seldom met people of his age in high society, or children other than Tibao, because many "noble" parents would not be happy for their children to play with Jason. Even if they wanted to curry favor with Wayne, they would rather say something nice to Jason themselves instead of letting their children come over.
So even if some ladies would reach out and touch Jason's head, muttering "This child is so cute", Jason would simply shrink behind Bruce with a "shy" expression, or hide in a place where no one could see him.
But Harry was an exception. He had no hostility towards Jason from the beginning they met, and was like a little animal. He was a little cautious at first, but after feeling that Jason was someone who was easy to get along with and whom he liked, the kid happily stuck to Jason.
Jason was always weak to the love from others, so he and Harry huddled in a corner, sharing the taste of ice cream, and then Jason listened to Harry talk about a lot of things, including that he would start elementary school next month and that he had recently started learning French.
Jason also takes foreign language courses. His talent for languages is unexpectedly good. He has already mastered French, Russian, Japanese, German, Spanish, and can speak Chinese. The only small problem is that his teacher is from a Cantonese-speaking area, so Jason's Mandarin is not very standard. He is also learning Arabic recently.
Harry had a lot of troubles learning foreign languages, for example, the peculiar way of expressing numbers in French. It was fine from one to ten, but it changed when it came to larger numbers. The expression for 70 was 60 plus 10, and 80 was 4 times 20. So while learning French number words, one could also learn math at the same time, but it was a bit difficult for little kids.
Jason just sat by the fountain and talked to Harry patiently. He could see that Harry seldom communicated with others like this, so he couldn't stop talking once he opened his mouth. But Jason was willing to understand this because he himself had never found someone to talk to.
The people he was willing to let down their guard didn't think of coming to listen to Jason's inner thoughts. Others who were willing to get close to Jason, such as Sunny, Bart, Tim and others, didn't understand Jason's side as a vigilante, and they had experienced too little. Phantom, Nightcrawler, Laura and others were too far away.
And to Harry, Jason was the first person who treated him so equally and patiently.
The child was very perceptive, he knew that some people approached him because his last name was Osborn, but Jason was not that kind of person. Even though he didn't want anything from Harry, he was still very kind to Harry, except for his mother. Before this, Harry had only seen some heroes and knights in fairy tale books who would be so selfless and kind to others.
The child leaned against Jason affectionately, their knees touching, blue eyes looking into green eyes, and gradually, the child leaned on Jason's arm.
He muttered, "After I saw you skating, I told my dad I wanted to learn it, but he wouldn't agree. He said I hadn't even finished the lessons my tutor gave me, and I hadn't learned self-defense well, so I shouldn't spend my time on other things."
Jason nodded. "That's understandable. Bruce also took me to learn self-defense. It seems that it's because children from rich families are more likely to encounter danger. They don't want us to get into trouble. But Bruce never told me that he was worried about me. He would only say to me, Jason, go ahead."
Harry didn't know the details of Jason and Bruce's relationship. After hearing Jason's words, he was so excited that he seemed to have seen a close friend.
"Is that so? Your father is like this too? I thought..."
Jason: “…Is your father like this too?”
In fact, Bruce is usually considered open-minded as a parent. He lets Jason learn whatever he wants to learn and encourages Jason to do more things that he should do at this age. He uses an imperative tone with Jason, mostly when he is Batman. At that time, Jason always hears words like "Robin, obey orders", and then as Batman's little soldier, he can only obey obediently.
This is not only because Jason respects Batman and is willing to listen to his orders, but also because he values his identity as Robin and cherishes every day he fights side by side with Batman. The result of a fight with Batman is usually a ban on night patrols and confinement. During that time, Batman's night patrols continue as usual, and Jason doesn't like that because it makes him feel that it doesn't matter to Batman whether he has it or not.
Besides, after all, Jason was adopted, and he would worry that if he quarreled with Bruce, he would be kicked out of the house. Intellectually, he knew that Bruce was a good man, but he might send Jason to boarding school like Tony said, and then Jason would have to stay away from the life of a vigilante.
But Jason didn't expect that Norman Osborne, as a father, seemed to have an attitude of "obeying orders" towards Harry, who was only 6 years old. This was a bit too much. Harry was just a son to Norman, and perhaps an heir, but he was not a soldier and did not need to fight according to the plan.
Jason knew that not interfering in other people's affairs was a basic quality in interpersonal relationships, but he still complained about Norman Osborn in his heart. In the end, he could only hug Harry, pat Harry's little head like Bruce did to him, and tell him that he was a good and hard-working boy.
After the banquet, Batman went to the Justice League for a meeting. Jason only vaguely knew that the matter was related to the Mother Box. Many years ago, a villain named Steppenwolf tried to use the Mother Box to invade the earth with his army of demons, and then was beaten back by Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and other seven giants of the Justice League, and then the Justice League was established.
But Jason was not allowed to know more things for the time being. He was left in the Met. Bruce told Jason that his good friend Bart, who had been admitted to Villanova University and would go to college after the start of the semester, would go to the Met with the team to participate in a friendly match during the summer vacation, and he could go and see.
After hearing what Bruce said, Jason looked incredulous: "You investigated my friend?"
Bruce was silent for two seconds. "Your standards for making friends are very strange. They are either mutants or catwoman. The only normal one has transferred to New York. You castrated a criminal for her. I am worried about you."
"But I've never been friends with a bad guy! Bart's a good guy!"
Bruce: "I know he's a good guy, so I agree with you going to his game."
The old bat turned and walked away, Jason jumped behind him: "You are such a controlling bastard!"
Bang, the door of the room was closed.
Todickiebird:
...How should I put it? Although I thought I had adapted to B's personality and would actively open the communication channel when I went out on night patrols to make sure he could hear any movement from my side, and let him put countless tracking, eavesdropping, and surveillance props on me, I would still be pissed off to death by him at certain times.

Tolittlewing:
I feel the same way all the time. I can't believe you're angry about this today. By the way, I'll go to the Metropolitan Museum to find you tomorrow. Please text me the address.

==============
Bart is a very charming big man, he is 1.95 meters tall, handsome and sunny face, and gentle personality. While studying at Gotham High School, he has always been the core of the basketball team, leading his teammates to win one victory after another.
It is no exaggeration to say that the girls chasing after Bart could line up to the school gate. He was a real popular guy, so when Jason first received his love letter, he almost thought it was a prank, but in the end they became friends. And Bart's game this time was also his last external game with the Gotham High School basketball team.
Not to mention, even someone like Jason who was not very interested in basketball felt his blood boiling when he saw them running, grabbing the ball and shooting on the court with sweat on their faces. Many students around them were shouting excitedly.
In the past, Bart usually played more assists, but because he saw Jason was on the court, and this was his last game with the team, he showed off two slam dunks and made several three-pointers. Every time he scored a goal, Jason would stand up and applaud, and Bart would run to Jason's side of the audience to wave.
However, there was a row of cheerleaders holding colored balls and dancing next to Jason, so many people thought Bart was smiling at them. As soon as the game was over, he was surrounded by a group of girls before he could run towards Jason.
Poor Bart, his sexual orientation is clearly a man, but he is much more popular with women than with men.
Jason waved at him with a hint of sympathy, gestured, placed a bag of handmade cookies on his seat, and turned to leave the venue.
When he reached the entrance of the venue, he saw Dick sitting on a motorcycle, chatting with a lady. Judging from the look in the lady's eyes, if Dick had not been sitting, the lady's hand would have been touching his butt.
Dick's eyes lit up when he saw Jason and he smiled at the lady, "Sorry, my brother is here."
Then he threw the helmet to Jason, and ran away with his brother and the small note that was forced into his hand by a passing woman.
Finally, the car stopped at a large gymnasium. Jason saw many people queuing in front of the gymnasium entrance. Jason looked at Dick in confusion: "Dickie Bird, did you see the text message I sent? Why did you come to the Metropolitan to find me?"
As Dick pushed the car to find a parking space, he turned around and teased Jason: "You gave me the address before you knew the reason?"
Jason pretended to kick him, but Dick quickly begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Have you forgotten the content of the email I sent you five days ago?"
Five days ago was August 8th, Jason's 16th birthday. He received many blessing emails, as well as several gifts sent by Nightwalker from Xavier College using teleportation, a big cake made by Afford, and Bruce drove him to the suburbs to watch the stars after a night patrol.
Of course Dick also sent an email, which said, "Happy birthday, I'll have a surprise for you in a few days."
Jason blinked and pointed to the gym. "Is this your surprise? Is there going to be an event here?"
Dick squatted down to lock the motorcycle. "You are a fan of AC/DC, but you didn't even know they were having a concert here today. Why do you think Tony Stark came to the Met? Was it just to watch your ice show and attend a charity dinner?"
"AC/DC? Are you saying that group of rock veterans are going to have a concert here today?"
Jason jumped up instantly. Dick stood up and shook the two tickets, looking very proud. "How are they? I told you I'd give you a surprise. Although they're not front row tickets, they have a good view... Wow!"
Maybe they didn't get along well at first. Dick knew that he had prejudice and hidden hostility towards Jason before, but after getting along with him, he knew that Jason was a good person. He helped Dick a lot, saved him, protected him, took care of him, and even forcibly dragged Dick home, allowing his relationship with Bruce to begin to be repaired.
Dick knew that Jason had been feeling depressed at home because of his injury a while ago, and he had been busy training for an ice performance recently. Dick happened to be too busy to go home and spend Jason's birthday with him at that time, so he decided to make it up to him today.
He caught the little robin that flew into his arms and couldn't help laughing.
