[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

"He really doesn't seem to be curious about how to resurrect himself. He is wholeheartedly learning skills from those mercenaries and criminals from various countries under your arrangement. Does he know that you are delaying his return to Gotham?"

When Wum asked this question, Talia was sitting on the windowsill watching Jason practicing fighting in the courtyard below.

Thalia chuckled.

She was not only delaying Jason's return to Gotham, but she also sincerely wanted to help him grow better, so that he would be able to protect himself in Gotham even if he returned there again. She didn't want Jason to be killed by some villain again, and...

"How do you know he's not curious? His sharpness is far beyond anyone's imagination. Even I have been deceived by him before."

Talia narrowed her eyes and looked at the boy's handsome face, which had become more angular after he had grown out of his youth, his increasingly slender figure, especially his thin and strong waist, firm buttocks, and straight long legs.

Even from her point of view, Jason's appearance can be regarded as a rare top grade. As a man, he is impeccable from the inside out.

Jason Todd is very dangerous and more attractive than the naive Najim, but Najim loves her, while Jason Todd does not love him and has even forgotten Talia and Damian.

It would be nice if these two people were combined.

At night, there was a very old tree outside Jason's room with thick branches. Talia fell silently on the branch and stared at the sleeping boy inside.

A falcon flew over and was hit by a stone thrown by Talia when it was about to approach the window.

"Xia, don't disturb your master. He has a hard time sleeping well recently, and he doesn't remember you anymore."

"Don't remember me either."

Talia stretched out her arm, and the falcon landed on her arm without holding a grudge, eating the pine cones that Talia handed over.

After a while, Jason's sleep became obviously unstable. He frowned and breathed rapidly. Then he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. He lowered his head and covered his abdomen with a dazed look on his face.

Talia had already left her original position. She stood downstairs, watching the lights come on from inside the room, and silently took Xia away.

Jason Todd has been sleeping in Najim's body, just like Najim is now sleeping in Jason Todd's memory. They are the same person. Talia firmly believes that only by restoring all his memories can Jason be complete, but at this moment, she begins to fear the moment when Jason recovers his memory.

……

In the later stages of Najim's pregnancy, Talia would basically go back to his wife's room and sleep obediently. Not to mention helping Najim rub his legs when they cramped, she was able to help him turn over.

Talia swore that she never thought she would enjoy marriage and life so much one day, but Najim succeeded in doing so.

He's a damn attractive boy.

You have to know that Talia was born in the Middle East and has lived among deserts and loess for most of her life. But for Najim, she actually learned the rules of figure skating competitions and secretly watched all the competitions and ice performances of Jason Todd.

Especially after Jason finished the ice show, he stood in the center of the ice rink and earnestly spoke about "mutant equality". His expression, the light in his eyes, and his voice filled with kindness and hope all made him look like a luminous body.

This kid is really talented. Not only is he good at controlling guns and making money, he is also very talented in literature and art. His performances on ice are extremely contagious, which means that no one can surpass him even after his death.

Also because Jason Todd is essentially an outstanding person, Talia also feels that it is reassuring to leave the child with him. In fact, when Damian later showed his interest in art, Talia also felt that this might have something to do with Najim's influence.

Damian is a very special child. According to tests, he who was nurtured with Super Soldier Serum version 3.0 will have four times the physical strength, four times the recovery ability, four times the reaction speed, four times the lifespan, etc. Naturally, such a child will grow up much faster than his peers.

The child showed considerable intimacy and attachment to Nijim, which was understandable because Nijim was really competent in the role of "mother".

He wasn’t that old, and by the time Damian was born, he was still a little over two months away from turning 17, with Damian’s birthday being lovely June 6st.

In the West, these underage mothers are called "Teen Moms". This word is a stigma attached to this group. The hardships of life and the discrimination from the outside world are daunting.

In Talia's opinion, "Teen Moms" are a group that is not smart enough. If they knew how to protect themselves, they would not get pregnant at such a young age. But they also have a pitiful side, and no moral person should despise them or speak ill of them.

Of course, Jason Todd became "Teen Mom" ​​purely because of his good physique. Having been trained by Batman, he has a very strong willpower and can even withstand the test of the super soldier serum. This brought disaster to him, and he finally had to carry Damian on his back.

In this matter, Talia was also sorry to Jason. She originally planned to return the robin to his father, but later Jason was tricked and only had one year left to live, so it was reasonable for him to hate Talia.

This may be why she once hoped that Jason would remain asleep in Najim's body until he died.

Damian is an energetic child. He was a noisy baby in the womb, which made it impossible for Nijim to sleep well in the late pregnancy. After he was born, this little baby would need milk, diapers changed after he had pooped, or sleep.

He was still full of energy, and if Najim was away for a long time, he would start screaming and disturbing everyone.

Talia only changed Damian's clothes once before she wanted to beat the boy up.

However, no matter how he called, Nijim would respond to him. As long as he heard the sound of the baby, no matter what he was doing before, Nijim would jump up and rush to make milk to feed the baby and burp him. When he started doing this, it was less than three days after he gave birth. If it weren't for the super soldier serum to support his body, an ordinary person would definitely suffer from postpartum depression after being tormented like this.

Talia would sometimes want to help, and if she was not tired from work that day, Najim would accept her help and praise her for a good job. If she was very tired, Najim would hold her down and let her go back to sleep.

Sometimes Talia felt that Najim was not only taking care of Damian, but also treating her as someone who needed to be taken care of.

Najim is really sweet to his partner, and it feels so good to be loved by him.

Sometimes Talia leaned against the bathroom door, watching Nigem playing with bubbles with Damian, and her cold green eyes would rise with warmth that she herself did not even notice.

Damian made inarticulate sounds like "Ah wow" and "Mmmmm" and Najim leaned over and kissed his tender cheek.

"Bao Bao, have you had enough fun? Do you want to get up and get dressed?"

By the way, he calls Damian “baby”, sometimes “baba” (Bao Bao) or “babaDamian” (Bao Bao Damian), see, he is really sweet.

At the same time, Najim also began to resume normal training. The nine-month pregnancy did not make him lose his fighting instinct. Two months after giving birth to Damian, he recovered to the level where he could knock down seven or eight high-level assassins alone. Talia would occasionally take him to the shooting range to play.

Talia later asked him: "Did you know that your life would end in September of this year?"

Najim's response was, "I know that the doctor did not hide these things from me when he examined me, so I want to get along better with you and Baobao in the rest of my life."

Talia watched him pick up Damian and walk to the window every morning, tell the baby the weather, read poems and fairy tales to Damian, and sing before Damian went to bed.

As a little super soldier, Damian has been stronger than other babies since birth, so he started to receive complementary food when he was two months old. This is because milk powder alone can no longer satisfy this rapidly growing little body.

So Najim would make delicious baby food for him. Talia took a bite or two and found the taste very light, but the texture was super good. Damian's little belly was bulging with food.

All of this prompted Talia to make her next decision.

Hydra also thought about using the mother to nurture embryos to cultivate super soldiers. After all, if the soldiers were brainwashed by Hydra since infancy, no one would be able to shake their loyalty. However, they did not find a suitable mother. Serum 3.0 was like chicken ribs to them. It was tasteless to eat and a pity to throw it away. After the Winter Soldier was frozen again, there was not much serum extracted from his blood left.

The deal with Kingpin made Talia a huge profit, and Talia took all of it and exchanged it with Hydra for the fertility serum 3.0.

She wanted to prolong Najim’s life.

In the end, she obtained enough Serum 6 to keep Najim alive until June of the following year.

This was already a "deviation" for the second-in-command of the League of Assassins, but Najim's life was limited, so her father decided to tolerate her decision and let her stay with Najim for another year, and even let Damian enjoy the love that a normal baby should get from Najim before he could start training.

This is not an exaggeration, given the special nature of the Augu family. The only person in this special family who can normally love and take care of the children is Najim.

Talia would occasionally take some photos and videos of them. She believed that the time spent with Najim would become Damian's treasure, making him a stronger man with a more stable mind in the future. And she also selfishly hoped that there would be one more person who would remember Najim.

Until one day, the Young Justice League came to the League of Assassins to look for people, and Nightwing was among them.

It should have been just a passing encounter, but her father, Lei Xiao. O. Gu, for unknown reasons, let Najim put on the mask and participate in the battle against the Young Justice League.

He and Nightwing fought.

There was a crisp sound of the stick hitting the kari stick. Talia held Damian and stood in the dark, watching the battle until those people left. Najim looked at the Shaozheng fighter plane flying away, took off his hood, and whispered softly.

"Gray...Son."

Lei Xiao looked at him, a look of understanding flashing across his face.

"You really did remember it."

The devil's chief waved his hand, and someone hit Najim with an electric shock device from behind, causing him to lose his ability to move. Then someone sent him directly to the brainwashing machine for the second time.

Brainwashing is very painful. Talia looked at her partner screaming miserably and instinctively wanted to step forward to stop him, but Lei Xiao's words made her stop.

Lei Xiao told his daughter: "I checked his online traces. Guess what I found?"

"He is planning to escape from here and even prepared bargaining chips for a deal with Kingpin."

Talia asked in astonishment: "He wants to escape?"

"The little bird your detective has trained himself has far more acumen than we could ever imagine."

At this point, Lei Xiao's face flashed with admiration: "It's hard to imagine that he only has one year of memory and has been living within the range you defined, but he can still sense that something is wrong. Or maybe he hasn't recovered his memory yet and just wants to leave here to pursue the truth, but it's already amazing enough."

"After he wakes up, you can take him and Damian away from here. This is my last indulgence for you. One year later, I want to see you and Damian back on track."

Talia was silent for a long time, then nodded slightly.

Later she carried Nijim back to the room herself, but from then on, she realized that this boy did not belong to her and that he would leave her one day.
