[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

The black-haired girl looked at the vehicle going away and made a puzzled sound.

"Jay?"

Where is Jay going?

The little boy standing next to her replied: "Todd is back in Gotham."

The education in the Assassin's League made Damian look more indifferent and arrogant than before, but he still answered the girl's questions.

Even though Jason Todd had left him twice without saying goodbye, it made him very angry and furious.

The black-haired girl tilted her head. She was the daughter of Lady Siwa of the Assassin's League and Cain. She was trained as an assassin since birth. In order to better practice the combat skills inherited from her mother of reading and predicting the enemy's body movements, she did not even have the opportunity to learn language because it would affect her ability to predict battles.

It wasn't until Jason met her in the wilderness when he went to visit Yin Sen that he decided to help her. He hid her in the sanatorium where Yin Sen was and taught her how to understand English and read, but the girl still didn't like to talk much.

But Jason had told her about Gotham, and she knew the city.

Jason said there are several amazing heroes out there, and even though they are on a different path than Jason, Jason still looks up to them.

Jason had just come out of the Great Caste at that time, and after soaking in the Great Caste's purification pool, he looked much calmer than when he had just come out of the Lazarus Pool.

He said to her: "I know you don't like killing people. If you have nowhere to go in the future and don't want to stay in the Assassin's League, you can go to Gotham to find them. If it's Batman, he should be willing to help you."

"Batman is a very nice person. He's even willing to lend a helping hand to the little pickpocket in Crime Alley. You're so nice, he won't have the heart to ignore you."

"Cassandra."

……

"Mom, sister, I'm back."

Jason placed two carnations on the graves of Catherine and Andrea respectively and smiled. Even though his own grave was not far away, he didn't even glance at it.

The cemetery looked well maintained, clean and tidy, without any weeds.

"Two years ago I thought I was going to meet you, but I didn't expect that God would give me the chance to come back to this world. In the past few years, I have spent most of my time in the Middle East, got married, had a child who no longer remembers me, and recently got divorced. Oh, by the way, I also traveled around Europe, met a lot of people, saw a lot of things, and learned a lot..."

As Jason was talking, he stopped talking and prepared to leave to avoid the camera's shooting range. Batman left several surveillance cameras nearby, but when he climbed out, no one came to pick him up, so it was not difficult to hide from the surveillance cameras.

Before leaving, Jason took a look at his own tombstone.

Jason did not choose to take action immediately because he knew very well that Gotham was a complicated city and he had been away from this city for four years. If he started to cause trouble without being prepared, he would definitely fail in the end.

Not to mention Gotham, the situation in the entire United States has changed dramatically.

Lex Luthor becomes president, and even though his term is coming to an end, the impact he has had on the country during his time in office has been enormous.

The Young Justice League had been to the Middle East before because they were investigating the disappearance of a girl with super powers. Later they learned that it was various organizations, including political groups led by Lex Luthor, who were collecting young "super-powered humans", and even alien organizations were involved.

Of course, that incident was resolved by the Young Justice League, but everyone knows that the politics and darkness hidden behind this incident cannot be broken by superheroes. As long as humans exist, similar incidents will continue to emerge.

In addition, an organization called "SHIELD" is observing all this in the dark. They seem to be planning something. The leader of this organization is Nick Fury, and they are affiliated with the International Security Council.

Jason took care of his equipment, organized his safe house, and collected intelligence, while watching a man who called himself "Silent" start to cause trouble.

The man's real identity is Thomas Elliot from the Elliot family, one of the four major families in Gotham. He is a childhood friend of Bruce and was originally a plastic surgeon. Now, he wants to make trouble for Bruce.

What is the motivation behind Silence's actions? Perhaps jealousy? Perhaps hatred? Who knows?

In any case, this man has studied Bruce carefully, and he began to make plans, using Batman's enemies, Killer Croc and Poison Ivy to trip up Batman.

First, Killer Croc kidnapped a child from a wealthy family - Edward Lemond, the heir to the Lemond Chemical Company, and extorted 10 million US dollars from the child's family.

Then Catwoman was controlled by Poison Ivy, who stole the 10 million in the melee. In the end, Poison Ivy escaped with the money. After Catwoman woke up, she and Batman tracked Poison Ivy all the way to Metropolis, and Poison Ivy controlled Superman to cause trouble for them.

But that was Batman, and he and Catwoman teamed up to take care of the situation, freeing Superman from his control and capturing Poison Ivy.

It is worth mentioning that during their pursuit of Poison Ivy, Talia also arrived in Metropolis because of the cooperation between the League of Assassins and the Luthor Group on certain matters.

Jason was invited by Talia to watch this show. He wore the clothes of the League of Assassins, disguised as her bodyguard, and went in and out of Luthor's base with her, thus avoiding the investigation of Superman and Tom Cruise, and secretly watching Batman.

Batman also knew that Talia was here, and he even came here to ask her for information, while Jason hid in the secret room when they met.

Until Batman left, Talia stood in front of the bookshelf and moved a book. The bookshelf creaked and slowly moved away, revealing a small space of less than 5 square meters inside.

She smiled at Jason, who was sitting under the lamplight reading a book.

"he's gone."

Jason whispered, "I know."

This is the closest they have been in all these years.

"Little bird with evil intentions, watching your father busying around, you are too depressed staying here, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Jason forced a smile and said, "No, if I go out with you, I'm afraid they will find us in less than a day."

"I didn't ask you to go out with me. I have things to do. I just want you to go out for a walk and relax. When you come back, buy me a cup of coffee."

Talia stroked his face and smiled, her green eyes tinged with tenderness and fondness that wasn't there when she looked at Bruce.

"You wouldn't mind buying your ex-husband coffee, would you?"

Jason sighed helplessly: "Can you please stop using the ex-husband joke? I think you should be the ex-wife."

"But you are the one getting married. I married you."

She watched Jason walk toward the door and called out, "I want cappuccino."

Jason turned around and looked at her, and asked, "It's already eight o'clock, and you're still drinking coffee. Aren't you going to sleep tonight?"

Talia blinked, her expression actually looking somewhat playful, and her tone was sweet and a bit coquettish, like when talking to someone she loves.

"But I want to drink."

Jason surrendered: "Ok, I'll buy it for you. Do you want some dessert to go with it?"

Drinking only coffee can damage your stomach.

"Chocolate Madeleines, thank you."

This was not the first time Jason felt heart-beating. Before what happened in Ethiopia, he had a bittersweet first love. Unfortunately, that relationship did not end well. According to intelligence, Dick Grayson had started a new life. Just half a year ago, he had a relationship with Donna Troy, but they broke up later.

Less than two months later, Dick almost married a lady named Emily, and the wedding was held. Although the intelligence also recorded that Dick approached the lady in order to obtain intelligence, Jason knew Dick, and he must have had a moment when he wanted to start a serious relationship with the lady, which is why he said "I do" to the pastor at the ceremony.

They almost got away with it.

Jason didn't blame Dick. He himself had been married to Talia and was still having an ambiguous relationship with her.

Moreover, Dick started a new relationship three and a half years after his death. This is enough to prove how much his death had hurt Dick. It is a good thing that Dick was able to get over it.

They once loved each other so passionately and sincerely, but now they have become strangers. From the moment Jason started killing people, he knew that he and Dick Grayson could never return to their previous relationship.

Jason was standing in line at the dessert shop waiting to pay and found that the streets in the metropolis were much wider than the last time he was here. Many of the shops on the street had been renovated, and even the stadium where he had attended an AC/DC concert had changed its sign.

When he walked out of the store, a big white dog stood in front of him and barked crisply.

Jason was stunned. He recognized the dog. They had been comrades in the Axis of Good and Evil incident.

Krypto.

This Kryptonian dog had a very keen sense of smell. Perhaps he smelled a familiar scent, so he came over to take a look. Jason paused, squatted down, took a piece of bacon from the sandwich and handed it over. Krypton wagged its tail, trotted over to eat the bacon, and licked Jason's fingers.

A familiar way of communication, Jason's eyes softened.

"You're so cute, what's your name? And your owner?"

Krypto raised his head and looked at Jason, with great confusion in his eyes.

Jason continued to pretend he didn't know Krypto and fed the dog a few more bites of bacon.

In the end, Krypto left. He seemed to think that Jason was just a similar existence to an old friend and he just recognized the wrong person. But Jason knew that Krypto was not wrong. This good dog was the first old friend to find him, but he had changed so much that even Krypto couldn't recognize him.

Hush later came up with a new trick. His real identity, Thomas Elliot, was once Bruce's childhood friend. He designed his own "death" in front of Batman, and the Joker happened to be standing not far away, holding a smoking pistol.

This is an interesting design, because Jason, who was hiding in the dark, clearly saw that Batman almost killed the Joker out of anger, but Commissioner Gordon stopped him.

So the Joker was captured and imprisoned in Arkham for the 79th time, but everyone knew that the Joker would be able to escape from prison again soon.

Jason sat on the balcony railing, wearing a domino mask and holding the red hood in his arms, and he asked Silence.

"What's the point of designing it like this? Do you want to see how far he can go for you?"

Silence asked back: "What about you? You cooperate with me and help me implement the plan. What is the meaning of all this? What is your purpose?"

Recently, Silence has been the mastermind behind the incident, tying up Batman's old rivals on board and asking them to cause trouble for Batman with criminal methods they have never used before. Batman must have begun to suspect this, and one of the suspects is Ra's Own Brother, because as the leader of the Assassin's League, he has the skills and ability to complete this plan.

Batman has hijacked the plane that Talia is on, intending to start with her in order to get information from Lei Xiao.

Silence asked the young man: "Are you sure Talia won't betray us?"

The young man replied confidently: "She won't."

Even though a cooperative relationship was reached, Hush could not see through this young man. He seemed crazy and wanted to be an enemy of Batman, but he was calm and rational, with no flaws in his body, and he had the help of Talia.

Who is he?

At the same time, after being captured by Batman in a secret location, Talia was tied to a chair with ropes, and Catwoman sat beside her to watch over her.

Talia opened her eyes, her face calm, without a trace of panic: "It seems that the rumors on the street are right, you already have the aura of Batman."

Catwoman glanced at her in surprise: "Oh, you're awake? Is this the induction between rivals?"

Talia smiled and said nothing: "I have broken up with him for many years. Now I prefer younger ones."

Now she likes someone else. After a while, Ms. Shiva fell from the sky, knocked Catwoman down, and untied the ropes on Talia. Talia lowered her eyes and stopped Ms. Shiva from hurting Catwoman further.

"Don't touch her."

Jason's plan did not involve harming Catwoman. Talia knew that when Jason was still a little robin, he and Catwoman were good friends.

Ms. Shiva paused.

She narrowed her eyes and questioned Talia, "Haven't you had enough fun with your boy?"

Talia opened her mouth to reply, "If it's him, I'll never be enough."

Ms. Shiva: “…”

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that Talia had just made a dirty joke to her.
