[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

Jason was very tired. He had just crawled out of the Lazarus Pool two days ago, but he was already losing his mind due to the information he read in the newspaper. After finally getting rid of the Assassins' League, he immediately rushed to Gotham to find a flight that would transport mercenaries and would not leave any flight records.

What supported him to accomplish everything was the intense rage that almost burned him.

The Joker is still alive.

The madman who killed him is still alive and still hurting people!

His life and death are worthless!

Jason found a hotel that didn't require any ID, and lay on the bed, clutching his clothes at his chest and breathing heavily. The air in downtown Gotham was still as turbid as before, it hadn't changed at all.

The same is true of the crimes committed in this city. No matter how many lives are lost, people cannot wake up.

He fell asleep in a daze, but surprisingly he didn't have a nightmare.

To be honest, it was actually a very strange dream. In the dream, it seemed like something was kicking his abdomen from the inside. The force was quite strong, but it didn't hurt. It even brought a sense of security.

A slightly hoarse female voice whispered in Arabic into his ear: "No one will hurt you."

Jason woke up suddenly. The morning light shone through the gap in the curtains. He got up and walked to the bathroom. He lifted up his shirt and looked at his body. There was not a single scar on it.

He has grown taller.

It's amazing, he was only 15 years old when he died, but after climbing out of the Lazarus Pool, he was almost 18 years old and had become an adult male with a height of meters.

He repeated the Arabic words.

"No one will hurt me?"

Jason sneered, with an inexplicable sadness in his eyes. He was really dreaming and foolish. He was obviously hurt. If it weren't for the little blue bird to accompany him, he would probably have to sleep alone in the golden orange sea.

He still clearly remembered the bloody crowbar, and how terrified and desperate he was when the crowbar hit his body and his nerves screamed in pain. Jason was not afraid of death. From the first day he became Robin, he decided to follow Batman to protect the city, even at the cost of his life.

But it really hurts.

And there is Sheila Haywood, whose biological mother's betrayal also broke Jason's heart.

Jason knew Batman. He must have done an autopsy on himself. So how would he feel when he looked at his own autopsy report? Jason felt extremely guilty at that time, fearing that Batman would suffer because of it, so he is even more angry now.

It turns out that my death means nothing to you. I once regarded you as my faith and hoped to save the city with you. But even if I sacrificed my life, you would not avenge me. The clown is still alive and continues to kill so many innocent people.

The most ironic thing is that his lover did not avenge him.

"Richard Grayson, why don't you avenge me?"

You clearly said you loved me, so my death means nothing to you?

Do you really care about and love me?

The Lazarus Pool can infinitely amplify a person's negative emotions and turn him into a sober madman, but Jason also clearly realized that no matter what he wanted to do now, it was out of his own heart.

In a situation where the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, it is not impossible for a Robin to plot against Batman.

Based on his knowledge of Batman and his memory of the Batmobile's performance, Jason successfully approached and installed the bomb 8 inches behind the left rear wheel, close to the oil pipe.

This position is very clever. As long as he presses the detonator, the Batmobile will be sent into the sky.

He hid in the dark, watching Batman's figure moving across the night sky as agile as ever, and pressed the start button, but he couldn't press it hard until the Batmobile left.

It’s not that Jason doesn’t dare, he just doesn’t want Bruce to die in ignorance. Doing so is meaningless and will only make the city worse.

He should have walked up to Bruce, confronted him, and questioned him. Even if the man was going to die, he should have known that it was Jason who did it.

"It's not that I don't dare, nor that I can't bear it."

The boy muttered, watching the Batmobile disappear at the end of his sight.

He turned and left, determined to return to the Middle East. He still had questions that needed answers from Talia.

Talia must be hiding something from him. For example... he no longer has menstrual cramps, his body is now extremely healthy, his strength has definitely reached the peak of an adult male, and there is still room for further development. But it turns out that because of malnutrition and the hardships he suffered when he was young, his height has always been below average.

There was one more question: where was Mulin? Was the chirping of birds he heard when he climbed out of Lazarus Pond an illusion?

When Talia saw Jason coming to her again, she knew that her father was right. Jason didn't even care how he was resurrected. He was only thinking about revenge. The only thing that made him look like a human being was that he cared about the little blue bird.

Doesn't this behavior seem a bit antisocial?

Jason asked her, "Where's my bird?"

Talia took out the glass bottle that had been in her pocket for a long time and had been stained with body temperature, and handed it to Jason.

"This is your bird, it left only this and disappeared."

Talia then agreed to help Jason gain power, but at the same time, she sighed in her heart.

The boy even remembered a bird, but did not remember her and Damian. Maybe Damian was his beloved child before he forgot the past, but that did not mean that Jason Todd also loved Damian.

……

After Najim broke his killing streak for Talia, Talia got to know the boy again. She knew that Batman's influence on the child was beyond everyone's imagination, so from the beginning, she never expected Najim to learn how to kill. He just needed to be a good container for Damian.

But Najim proves the difference between him and Batman, Batman's principles prevent him from killing people, while Najim doesn't mind killing for important people.

One is the legal principle, the other is the person himself.

Talia had no doubt that the child had already had this character before he became Najim. Brainwashing only buried his memories and transferred his emotions, but it did not mean that even his essence could be changed.

And now the person he is willing to kill for is Talia herself. She admits that she took her feelings for her by dishonorable means, but since she has accepted this relationship and has established a marriage relationship with Najim, she should treat Najim better so that he knows that all his efforts will be rewarded.

However, after that murder, Najim's body entered a period of weakness. At first, Talia thought it was a psychological discomfort caused by the murder, but soon the doctor told her that it was because the fetus had grown larger and began to absorb more vitality and nutrients from the mother to support the development of the entire super soldier embryo.

Najim's body seems healthy, but it is actually an illusion supported by the serum. In fact, his body is already very weak. The Super Soldier Serum 3.0 works well, which means that his health will be drained by this birth.

He began to sleep all day long and had to rely on injections of nutrient solution to maintain basic physiological functions. His body, which was not fat to begin with, became even thinner.

Naturally, Najim couldn't go in and out of the study room with a bulging belly to share Talia's worries, nor could he watch Talia fiddling with guns with bright eyes and learn all kinds of knowledge from her.

It was not until Talia reached out to ask for tea and found that the person who could pour her tea was unable to get up that she realized that Najim had quietly integrated into her life.

So she naturally went to the laboratory to visit Najim, but found that he was not comfortable staying in the nutrient tank. As long as he closed his eyes, he would have nightmares.

Once, he got up and walked in the courtyard hand in hand with Talia.

Talia asked him, "Do you hate this child? He makes you so uncomfortable."

Najim looked at her in surprise, then smiled and shook his head.

"No, I've read books. Giving birth to a life is hard work."

He exhaled, a warm smile in his eyes.

"I always have nightmares and feel very painful. People keep hitting me. I am afraid Damian will get hurt, so I am very grateful that he is still with me now."

Talia raised the corners of her mouth and reached out to touch his lips. Najim turned to look at her in confusion, and Talia held her cheek and kissed her gently.

It was a very passionate kiss. The older man was a good kisser, and Najim was surprisingly good at it, too. After the kiss, he stuck out his tongue at Talia and teased her.

"I must have kissed you often before I lost my memory, right? I didn't expect that I'm such a good kisser."

Talia: “…”

No, I don't think you learned your kissing skills from me.

The emotional misalignment did not prevent them from developing further, because Najim was destined to die soon. Talia thought, what did it matter even if the beginning of this relationship was wrong?

She only loves this year. After one year, Najim will return to the world of death, but she will continue to live.

So she allowed herself to fall in love again.

Until Damian was born, she placed the newborn baby in Nijim's arms.

Najim looked at the child, but his face was confused.

"His eyes are...green?"

What color could it be if not green? Talia's eyes were green, and even Jason's own eyes were green, so how could he think Damian's eyes were any other color?

"Yes, it's green, green like me."

Talia stroked his pale cheek: "Thank you for your hard work."

Shouldn't it be blue, Nijim thought? This child looks like... and... like...

No, who does Damian look like?

He then asked, "Is Damian our heir?"

Talia replied, "Yes, Damian will inherit the League of Assassins, and he will be the one who tames this world."

Najim groaned, looked down at the soft little ball in his arms, and said softly, "He looks so small."

It was just a brief conversation after the birth, and Najim soon fell into a sleep.

After that, his body began to rapidly decay, and the 3.0 serum would make Damian a success, but at the cost of Jason's life.

Najim was surprisingly calm about this and even fully accepted that he was going to lose his life for Damian.

Talia sometimes wondered if the reason this child did this for her and Damian was because the feelings that originally belonged to the detective were now invested in her, so Najim was willing to give so much for him?

How strange! She was still obsessed with the detective a year ago, but now it is this child who has occupied her heart.

Talia poked Najim's cheek.

"Little rascal, no matter what happened in the past, I am your partner now and I am by your side. Don't dwell on the past anymore."

Although Najim no longer remembered those things.
