[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

Jason is different from his predecessor Dick, and different from his successor Robin.

The third generation Robin applied for the job himself, the fourth generation used the superhero code name "Disruptor" before becoming Robin, and the fifth generation Robin was sent directly to Bruce as his son, and then put on Robin's equipment.

Only Jason, it was Bruce who first reached out his hand to this cute little kid with a wet face and asked him, "Would you like to be my assistant?"

Jason took the hand and said, "Yes, I do."

After this conversation, Bruce took Jason home. In Jason's mind, if Bruce did not intend to train him as an assistant, he might not go home with Bruce. This identity is the biggest connection between them.

By the way, the process of Bruce reaching out his hand was jokingly said by Catwoman who was watching: "Oh, it seems like a wedding vow. I didn't expect you to even plan to take a second child home to raise. It seems that you are more loving than I thought."

This year, Bruce was 34 years old, Dick was 19 years old, Jason was 12 years old, Superman was 31 years old, Catwoman was 29 years old, and Alfred was 62 years old.

In short, Jason just stole a tire and was not successful, but he became the luckiest beggar in the whole Gotham, because he, Jason Todd, a kid wandering in Crime Alley, was adopted by Bruce Wayne, the richest man in Gotham.

Bruce Wayne, the richest man in Gotham who slept with at least half of the monthly magazine girls, is actually Batman! He is a billionaire and a playboy during the day, and dresses up as a big bat to beat up criminals at night. Well, Gotham City is indeed a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Nothing is impossible here!

Adoption requires procedures. Bruce first checked Jason's past information and found that the child's information was consistent with what he provided, but there were still a few questions.

He pointed to a page of information and asked, "You were sent to a foster family in the upper city because you couldn't get along well with other people in the orphanage. That family was good, but you stabbed the man with a knife and were sent to a juvenile detention center for three months. Why did you do that? Who gave you the knife?"

Considering that Jason had just helped Batman save several people during the Arkham prison break, Bruce felt that Jason should not be a bad person by nature, so if a child could take the initiative to hurt people with a knife, there must be a reason.

Jason was sunk into the soft and luxurious sofa. He tried hard to sit up straight, but because the sofa was too big and he was too small, his toes could not reach the ground. He held a cup of hot milk in his hand and looked a little embarrassed.

He whispered, "Because when I was sleeping, the man of the house reached into my quilt and touched my thigh. The knife was a relic left to me by Andrea. In fact, even with the knife, she couldn't beat anyone. But in Crime Alley, women can't go out without weapons."

In other words, the truth of this matter is that the molested child fought back against the adult who dared to molest him, and Jason did nothing wrong.

The girl who gave him the knife was Andrea Martha Sionis, the illegitimate daughter of Black Mask Roman Sionis. After her father was imprisoned, she fell into Crime Alley and became a pole dancer. However, unlike her father, she did not do evil, but chose to help a child.

That girl's name is also Martha.

Bruce sighed secretly and continued to ask, "In that case, why didn't you tell the family judge? This way you wouldn't have to be locked up for three months. You know, this will leave a stain on your file and affect your future college applications and job searches."

Jason retorted, "I told them, but they didn't believe me. They all said I was lying. The lady even accused me of being a liar. In fact, I had only moved in for less than three days, and I had spoken to her no more than 20 sentences."

If it wasn't for the last resort, Jason would only be grateful and would never hurt them if they provided him with food and lodging, okay? He wasn't some crazy bad guy!

Bruce was silent for a while, then rubbed Jason's head.

The child's hair was dry and yellow, obviously caused by malnutrition. He looked very small. If Bruce hadn't checked Jason's information, he wouldn't have believed that the child was already 12 years old. If he studied normally, he should have been promoted to middle school next year.

Next came the adoption process, which began with a short hearing filled with flashing lights and cameras. Jason felt extremely uncomfortable. He subconsciously didn't like being stared at too many times, so he followed Bruce closely the entire time, trying to block out the stares with his large body, or just keeping his head down.

Bruce took good care of him and helped Jason block all the reporters' microphones during the interview. He was very personable, and when Jason was listening in, he found that Bruce could actually answer all the questions very appropriately, but sometimes he would also give some irrelevant answers in a very "Gotham baby" way. Anyway, he was very serious about his character.

But when it comes to the question of adopting Jason, all of Bruce's answers are impeccable.

He put his arm around Jason's shoulders and smiled very Brucely: "This is my son. I believe we will be a loving family."

A tall reporter from the Daily Planet also came to interview them. This time Bruce did not stop Jason behind him. Instead, he gently pushed the kid in front of the big man, who then half-knelt in front of Jason and gently asked him some questions about the man who stabbed him a year ago.

Jason looked back at Bruce and answered a few questions with gritted teeth. After the interview, the big reporter shook hands with Jason. The handshake was very light and his blue eyes were as inclusive as the clear sky.

Then a few days later, Jason was told that the stain on his record had been cleared because the man who had molested him also had a record of molesting other children in his earlier years, and now those families have joined together to sue that guy.

In fact, Jason has not yet adapted to his new life. He is used to being kicked for no reason by passing homeless people, or fighting to the death with other street kids, and getting beaten up so that his face is swollen for several days just for fighting for a small piece of bread.

But he was not used to being treated so well. Bruce was too good to him. What he did for Jason, the time and energy he spent on Jason, were all things that Jason's biological parents had never given him, and he did it without asking for anything in return.

Jason knew that Bruce was not the kind of disgusting adult who would be interested in his body. He would not pull his hair and call him a freak like old Todd did, and then beat him mercilessly to vent his dissatisfaction with life.

Old Todd even said that if Jason wasn't his son, he would fuck the little bastard hard.

Bruce Wayne has dated countless beauties, each of whom is healthier, more beautiful, and more attractive than Jason. Jason has no appeal to him at all, so Bruce is the most likely person who really just wants to treat Jason like a son.

He is really a good man, because even a fool knows that it is very hard to go out and fight criminals every day, but Bruce is still willing to give a home to a gangster who steals tires.

After reading the physical examination report, he didn't look at Jason with a strange look, but just asked him whether he wanted to be a man or a woman when he grew up, because it was safer to wait until adulthood to do major surgery.

Jason stared at Bruce blankly, and suddenly felt like crying.

Andrea, you said that as long as you live, you can see hope. Now this hope is probably with me. The way Bruce looks at me is the same as the way you look at me, without frivolity, discrimination, or strangeness, as if I am just an innocent child who needs your care.

With red eyes, he replied clearly: "I want to be a man, a man like you."

From this moment on, Jason knew that he would like Bruce as much as he liked Andrea. His heart accepted this person. He was willing to let Bruce walk into his world, or he would walk into Bruce's world? But Jason didn't care about that anymore.

It was two weeks after he entered Wayne Manor, and Jason finally began to see himself as a member of this family. The evidence was that he finally stopped secretly stuffing food into plastic bags and hiding them in a corner, because he was finally no longer worried that he would be kicked out.

The only thing that made Jason a little uneasy was that one of the people he admired in his heart but would not say it out loud, his former Robin Dick Grayson, was not at home. He tried to ask Alfred, and the answer he got was that Dick had left home to go to college.

Jason easily accepted this answer because he had always longed to go to college since he was a child, until something Bruce said while training Jason made Jason realize that something was wrong.

What he said was: "If you want to be a good Robin, you have to learn to be cautious."

Jason was stunned.

He thought Batman was training him to be his assistant. Jason had already thought it through. After he got a qualified evaluation from Bruce, he would use the code name "Little Beaver" and become Batman's new assistant.

But Alfred said that Dick went to college, and he probably couldn't take care of Robin's affairs anymore, so Jason was brought back, probably because the other party needed a successor?

In his heart, Jason was very willing to be Robin. It would be better to say that he was extremely eager for this. That was Robin. He had admired the other's figure for so long, and this was a very important recognition. Bruce believed that Jason could be Robin and be his partner in fighting crime.

After knowing that he could become a Robin, Jason thought he could give everything for it, and even the training that drained all his physical strength and energy was not so tiring.

At that time, Jason had no idea that "Batman might not have a good relationship with Robin", and he took it for granted that Dick was just going out to study at college.
