[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

Jason: "Teacher, you can see the future through the Time Stone. What will happen in that world line?"

Ancient One: "The new world line has been extended, just let it develop naturally."

The Sorcerer Supreme raised his eyebrows at Jason: "Your talent in magic is beyond my imagination. I didn't expect that you would leave behind pure knowledge such as combat, mechanics, investigation, analysis, and your memory as Robin. It seems that you have also felt it?"

Jason lowered his head and smiled: "Yes, I felt it. When I entered that body, the other soul remained awake."

He knew that Grandpa Thomas would not leave his other self and Sharp Claw Dick alone, and they would most likely be adopted by the Wayne family.

Jason sighed: "I hope they can be fine, defeat their enemies and overcome misfortune."

Ancient One replied calmly: "Then just believe they can do it."

Before the two world lines were completely separated, Ancient One used the Time Stone to take a look and found that the world developed well later. Jason, who later became a priest, also had a good mentality and lived a good life. He especially liked to send bad guys to see God (physics). After going through a confused adolescence, he took over the Batman cape from Thomas Wayne, and Claw Dick became Nightwing, and acted together with Father Jason as a partner.

She was not worried at all that Jason Todd, a person without any blackness, would go astray, and she had more confidence in his character than Jason himself.

Jason nodded after hearing this. After all, he had done what he could, and they could walk the rest of the way on their own.

I just don't know if my other self can get along well with Claw Dick.

Before leaving, Jason thought of another question: "By the way, teacher, I came to you before to ask you why the superheroes of the Justice League did not show up when the Chitauri invaded New York. Are they back now?"

"This."

Gu Yi showed a look of realization: "Yes, I was so busy sending you to another world line that I forgot to tell you that the world line has the ability to repair itself. Go through your memory again."

Jason subconsciously recalled and found that there was an extra memory in his memory, which was the reason why the Justice League did not appear in New York - they had to deal with Luthor's affairs.

"When a mage crosses worlds, there are always subtle memory deviations. You just need to sort it out yourself."

As soon as Gu Yi waved his hand, Jason understood, stood up, said goodbye, and left the New York Temple.

He was also preparing to go home to eat and sleep. After all, he had just rushed here after the Battle of New York. Even though he had been thrown into another world line for several days, this body had not gotten enough rest. Now was the time when fatigue was sweeping over his body.

And Gu Yi walked to the window, looked at his disciple's back as he slowly walked away, and smiled slightly.

She thought of the future she had seen in another world.

……

In another world, when Jason woke up again, he found himself lying on the bed in Wayne Manor. His ears were slightly itchy and he could hear other people's breathing on them.

He shuddered and turned his head sharply, and saw Claw No. 37, Richard Grayson, sleeping peacefully beside him.

Jason sorted out his brain and found that the other self left him a lot of knowledge and training skills, but most of the memories were gone. But it was understandable. After all, even if they were both Jason Todd, they still had the right to privacy.

Richard woke up when he noticed Jason's movement and reached out to touch Jason's face.

"Good morning."

Jason hesitated for a moment and said, "Good morning. Uh, there is something I need to clarify. I am not the Jason you knew before. He is from another world. I am this..."

Richard yawned. "I know. He said he was leaving."

He looked a little lazy, but he was conscious, clear-minded, and in a good mood.

"I also know that we are brothers. Grandpa has planned to adopt us. He will take us to the hearing this afternoon. Also, Grandpa said that he will start training you from today and let you join the Night Patrol in half a year. Now you and I are partners. My code name is Nightwing, and your debut code name will still be Robin."

Jason: "Can I still go to Andrea's church to attend mass in the future? I am a religious person."

Richard: "You need to tell Grandpa about this. Carl also lives here. He heard from Doctor Doom that you would wake up today, and he has been looking forward to asking you if you can make apple pie after you wake up."

Jason: "Oh...I'll do it."

In short, Jason, the original Crime Alley street kid, was adopted by Gotham's richest man, Thomas Wayne, inexplicably, and had a brother named Richard. After baking a delicious apple pie, he became friends with the Kryptonian Carl, which felt pretty good.

Everyone knew that he was not the Jason Todd they knew before, and no one treated him as a substitute for themselves. Instead, they greeted him warmly and treated him as an independent individual. Everyone was friendly and took good care of Jason.

He has family and friends.

Given the experience of being possessed by his parallel self, the Flash who woke up and found himself with super speed often came to Gotham to get some sweets from Jason and chat with him. That guy also helped assist Grandpa Thomas and Nightwing in their fight against the Court of Owls.

Half a year later, Professor X woke up, and the brains of the brainwashed mutants, the Hydra captain whose good and evil had been reversed, and Tony Stark's brains were also turned back. The world began to recover, and people worked hard to live and repair the trauma left by the war.

Jason also put on his green scale shorts and began his career as a Robin. Although he was tricked by the clown grandma to go to the street to play with tires on his first day of night patrol and was scolded by Grandpa Thomas for it, Richard took Jason to eat popcorn after Jason was scolded, so it was no big deal.

Three years later, Doctor Doom came to Gotham to demand people, saying that he was destined to take Jason as his apprentice. Grandpa Thomas drove the bat armor and fought with him, and sprayed many words "Get out of my Gotham", but Grandma Joker had a life motto, which was "If Batman is unhappy, I am happy too", so she jumped out and made a magical operation, and Jason was taken away by Doctor Doom.

Three years later, Jason, who had been upgraded to Magic Robin, returned to Gotham and found that his position as Robin was taken by a boy named Tim. He was immediately furious and beat Tim up. After the beating, he realized that this was actually his fanboy, so he sent him to the hospital with embarrassment.

However, because the code name Robin had been given to Tim, and his grandfather had given his code name to someone else, Jason was also unhappy, so he turned around and went to church to become a priest. While he was angry with his grandfather, he got together with Richard, who often ran to the church to listen to him singing hymns, and because he could not stand his lover's nagging, he was pulled back home at Christmas.

It actually felt good to go home for Christmas. At that time, Gotham had gradually changed, and the Joker's grandmother sat quietly in a corner of the living room. Even though she was still a little restrained, she didn't cause any trouble that day.

Jason cooked a roasted turkey, Richard helped out, Tim decorated the Christmas tree, and Carl, who had grown into a strong man, passed the decorations to the side.

Finally they took a family photo together.

……

Barry Allen returned to his own world line. In this world, his mother had passed away for many years, but his memory retained the memories of his living mother in another world line.

This is a very precious gift.

He placed a bouquet of carnations on his mother's grave, and then remembered the letter Bruce's father asked him to pass on.

As for the change in the world line this time, he should also give B an explanation so that B can make his plan to deal with similar events that may occur in the future.

The Flash ran to Gotham, greeted Alfred, and walked into the Batcave.

Batman was about to go out for a night patrol when he saw the Flash suddenly coming to his door and he put down his mask.

"Flash? What are you doing here?"

Barry smiled at him and said, "Tell you something. By the way, I can work part-time as a postman."

He told Bruce the stories that happened in the parallel world.

"You don't know. When I realized how much the world had changed, I was completely stunned. At that time, Jason, your son, the second Robin, showed up... And that kid really liked to play with heads. What's wrong with that? Oh, and he's also very good at head-blasting. He killed the Reverse Flash. He killed people very cleanly..."

As he was talking, Flash noticed that Batman's expression was a little strange. He coughed and defended Jason, "B, I know you have your principles, but without Jason's shot, Reverse Flash's goal would have been achieved. His shot saved many people in that world. I hope you don't blame Jason for this. It took a lot of effort for him to be resurrected. Don't let my mistake affect your relationship."

"Oh, yes, did you know that Jason has been resurrected? The guy said that he is learning magic with a magician now, very mysterious."

Bruce was silent, and he asked, "How does Jason look?"

Barry gave a thumbs up. "He's awesome. Even though he's using a skinny 12-year-old body, he's super sharp. When dealing with Hydra, he acted like a little robber. He's really reliable. Your dad, the kid's grandfather, also seems to appreciate him. Jason even baked cookies for Mr. Thomas."

"This is the letter Mr. Thomas asked me to deliver to you."

A white envelope was handed to Bruce by Barry.

This is a letter that spans the entire world, recording a father's deep love for his children, as well as the story of the Flash and Jason in another world from Grandpa Thomas's perspective.

Until the Flash left there, Bruce sat in front of the Batcomputer, looking at the letter over and over again.

Ah Fu walked up to him and placed a cup of coffee on the table: "Master, I think you would like to refresh yourself."

"Yes, Thanks."

Bruce picked up his coffee cup and sighed, "Alfred, has Jason contacted you?"

Ah Fu replied gently, "In fact, there is. Master Jason once anonymously sent me a can of high-quality coffee, which is the kind you are drinking now. It has been tested by instruments and there is no problem."

"I know there's no problem."

Bruce said: "I know he wouldn't do that, and I know he wouldn't hurt his family, but... suspicion is a responsibility we can't throw away."

"I know, and I think Master Jason understands that, too."

Just like they understood why Jason didn't come home.

In fact, whether it is Bruce or Jason, they both miss each other, but if they really come into close contact, the ideological struggle alone is enough for them to fight more than once.

Moreover, the Batman are suspicious by nature, and facing the Red Hood who has already crossed the line, many of the Batman's common actions will seem very hurtful, and the rift will become bigger and bigger.

Because of his suspicion and uncompromising principles, Jason exiled himself to a distant place and refused to meet them.

Bruce felt very guilty about this, and what made him even more guilty was that he could not change himself. Some things could not be changed.

All of this is like a knot that cannot be untied, trapping them in it. They still regard each other as family, but cannot get close to each other.

This is the only thing that makes them happy, but also what makes them even more sad.
