[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

Jason thought he had reached the pinnacle of his life when he sat on the hood of the Batmobile and ate a burger with Batman!

If this matter were to be made public, others would either mock him as a "little lunatic who is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and is boasting" or beat him up out of jealousy.

Batman also asked Jason some other questions, including why Jason didn't study but wandered the streets, and how he usually lived.

Jason answered these questions very honestly. Come on, the person sitting next to him was Batman. There was nothing he couldn't keep from telling this legend, except his own background. He just told it!

He knew that he admired superheroes like Batman and Robin, but there were a large number of Batman and Robin fans like Jason among the teenagers in Gotham.

Finally Batman lets Jason get in his car (after Jason puts all four tires back on).

Jason's eyes widened in surprise. "Let me take this car? Really? You're going to take me to your base?"

He felt a little uncomfortable, considering that the car was really visibly expensive and the seats were all leather. He looked at his clothes and pants that were covered in dust and his shoes that were half stained with mud and water, and he was a little hesitant to get in.

Batman: "Get in the car. I'll take you to a placement agency. There's Mrs. Gunn's Home for Troubled Boys on Park Street, which is what you call Crime Alley. They'll take in kids like you. Don't be afraid. That agency has a good reputation."

Jason immediately understood, and he said that he would never have the good fortune of being picked up by Batman, so Jason immediately prepared to climb out of the car window.

"No, I've inquired about that agency. If I go in, there's an 80% chance that I'll be devoured without leaving any residue, and a 90% chance that I'll be trained as a prostitute and sent to some place."

"It would be better for me to believe that the people of Gotham are honest than to go there and live a good life."

Batman: "..."

This is such a bitter irony, he doesn't even know when the customs of this city have anything to do with the word simple and honest, the quality of the villains is so high that they can scare the villains from other places to death, but they are almost turned into a meme, and compared with the brutal elements in Gotham, even the Rogues can be regarded as kind-hearted good guys.

He grabbed Jason, who was half turned out, and pulled the skinny boy back to his seat.

Batman said simply: "Tell me about the situation."

Jason blinked his green stone-like eyes and told Batman that he once had a friend named Andrea, who once said that Jason's mother would suck her to death sooner or later, so she asked Jason to prepare a way out as soon as possible and not wait until he could not survive in Crime Alley without a guardian.

"So she asked me about places nearby that could take in people like me. Unfortunately, there was no suitable place."

At first, Andrea thought that Mrs. Gunn's institution might be suitable for Jason, but soon Andrea's man, the gangster who had been sleeping with her, said that the institution was his alma mater and many juvenile offenders graduated from there. Mrs. Gunn used this institution to receive donations from the society, and then trained a large number of talents in exchange for supplies and shelter for the gangs, instantly satisfying her own criminal desires.

The most important thing is, according to the gangster, once you enter Mrs. Gunn's territory, you will first be cleaned and then have a physical examination. Don't think this is a good thing, because Mrs. Gunn will determine which class this person will be assigned to based on his physical fitness.

Those who are stronger can go to the criminal class, those who are not strong can go to the thief class, and those who are pretty will go to the sleeping angel class. Sleeping angels, as the name suggests, actually refer to people who look like angels and you can sleep with them for money. They are the objects of crime. Twins will also be sent there, because some people like to play with twins, and the sleeping angel class does not care about gender.

Jason didn't say that he thought he would definitely be picked for the class because of his good looks, but he knew that he was a "rare commodity" in the eyes of some people because of his deformed physique.

But there is no need to go into the specific division of classes, Jason only said that Mrs. Gunn's territory will become a criminal zone, and Batman will probably check it out.

Then he planned to get off the car and go back to his trash can. If he didn't sleep, he would miss the trip tomorrow morning and would have to search through the trash cans for supplies before those homeless people.

But Batman did not let Jason get out of the car. Instead, he took him to an apartment building in an upscale community developed by Wayne Real Estate, and then took him into a room with a bed, weapons, food, and a bathroom.

This was a safe house, but it was more spacious and cleaner than any other house Jason had ever seen, and Jason could stay here for a while until Batman found a place to put him.

Batman warned him not to touch the weapons and other things. Jason nodded obediently and said timidly, "Thank you... for helping me."

He had previously removed Batman's tires and intended to attack Batman with a wrench. He couldn't even give Batman anything in return. He thought Batman could see this, but still generously helped him.

Batman didn't say anything, just patted Jason's head, which was as dirty as a bird's nest.

Originally, Jason thought that Batman would find a foster family for him, or send him to an orphanage in another city, but things always develop in a magical way.

Jason stayed in the safe house for the fifth day. When he found that Batman had no intention of picking him up to go somewhere else, he decisively put on a backpack and used a grappling hook to successfully slide from the balcony to a house downstairs (Note: Batman's safe house is on the top floor, which is the 12th floor). While no one was at home, he pried open the lock of their house and successfully left the building.

By the way, he also retrieved the grappling hook to ensure that Batman's equipment would not be discovered by others.

It was only when he got to the street that he realized what had happened - a mass prison break in Arkham.

It was very obvious to notice this because many people on the street were laughing and some were crying. Jason was okay because he had a gas mask in the bag he carried with him, and he put it on immediately after he found out something was wrong with someone. Although he still inhaled some unknown gas, so he laughed and cried unconsciously like a fool, he basically maintained his sanity and found where Batman was.

It’s actually quite easy to find, the most chaotic part of the street is where Batman fights the villains.

When Batman was about to be frozen by something unknown, he took out a thing that looked like a flamethrower from his bag and fired it at the place, burning the villain who was close to Batman half to death and almost killing Batman.

The half-dead villain threw a bomb at Jason before he fell down. Fortunately, Catwoman pulled Jason away with a whip, otherwise Jason would have been dead.

Afterwards, Jason pulled a crying little girl holding a baby next to a nearby store away from the danger zone despite the sound of machine gun fire and loud explosions. When everything was over, Batman fell silent as he watched the child run out of his well-secured safe house, take out a bag of equipment, pry open the tire of the Batmobile, and even dared to rush towards Two-Face with a knife when he was about to hurt an old man passing by.

There was no doubt that this was a child with a good brain and great potential, and he was also very daring, and if he went astray, he could become a rising star in the criminal world.

He needs proper guidance and training.

"Take off your mask."

Jason obediently took off his mask, tilted his head and gave Batman a somewhat silly smile, even though his face was covered in tears and sweat, with thin streaks of blood flowing from his forehead, and his eyes looked very big and bright because he was too thin.

Bruce was surprised to find that this street kid who spoke in a rude tone and acted a little recklessly had a very nice little face after washing, and his smile was cute and romantic.
