[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

Jason knew Dick Grayson. After all, they had a relationship before. So when he saw Nightwing's current appearance, he knew that he still had feelings for him.

Alas, before he knew it, he had gone from being a pure boy who complained about Dick, "You have a messy relationship with your ex-girlfriends," to a member of Dick's ex-girlfriends group.

The biggest problem now is that Jason's current girlfriend Talia is also there and is standing next to him.

Dick was still talking there, and as Talia listened, a half-smile appeared on her face. Then she suddenly put her arms around Jason's neck, pushed down hard, and tilted her head back to give him a kiss.

It was a kiss so hot that Damian couldn't bear to watch it and had to look away, Katie whistled, and Batman's face looked even darker.

Nightwing shut up and stared at the scene in a daze.

He also understood Jason, and he knew very well that Jason was very wary of many close contacts because of his childhood experiences. If they were not close friends, it would be difficult for him to even hold his hand, let alone kiss him.

So the fact that Jason didn't push Talia away was enough for Dick to interpret a lot of information.

After the kiss, Talia took Jason's hand and said affectionately, "Thank you so much for saving me, my love. I know you will never leave me alone."

Jason glanced at Batman and Nightwing, patted Talia on the head, and walked aside quietly, which meant that Jason acknowledged the relationship between him and Talia.

The situation was a bit tense, but Talia acted as if nothing had happened. She waved to Damian and said she would take him home.

Damian looked around and finally told Talia that he hoped to stay with Batman.

Talia narrowed her eyes and looked a little unhappy. She wanted to say something but paused.

She turned and looked at Jason, who stared back at her calmly, and Talia remembered that Jason was reminding them of the agreement they had made regarding Damian.

She had promised Jason that if Damian wanted to make choices for his own life in the future, he would give the child a chance.

But Damian has good qualifications. He is their future and has the potential to conquer the world. Let him grow up next to his biological father. Maybe one day, he will stand on the opposite side of the Assassin's League.

Talia was in a state of hesitation. Lei Xiao was dead, and she had become the current leader of the Assassin's League. She had the same ambitions as her father. Damian was a very useful tool. If she let him go like this...

But Jason still stood there quietly, as if waiting for her response.

Many thoughts ran through Talia's mind. To outsiders, it seemed that she only hesitated for a moment before squatting in front of Damian and putting her hands on Damian's shoulders.

"If that's what you want, then well, learn from your father, he's very wise."

As she said this, she kissed Damian's forehead and turned to leave. A private ship belonging to Talia's faction in the Assassin's League also arrived here, and Jason boarded the ship with Talia in silence.

Until the ship went farther and farther away, Damian looked at Batman and Nightwing and always felt that something was wrong with their emotions.

Especially Nightwing. Even though Damian had only been in Wayne's house for a short time, he knew that this cheap elder brother was the most lively person in the family. He used to speak in a light tone, but now he had a blank expression on his face.

Then Nightwing suddenly shrugged, forced a smile and said to Batman: "He was resurrected through the Lazarus Pool, right? So it doesn't matter if he has a relationship with Talia."

It turned out that Jason had moved on from that relationship, let go of the past, and started a new relationship. Dick knew that he had no right to blame Jason. After all, even he himself had a new girlfriend after Jason's death.

But he still felt upset. Dick laughed at himself. In the past, when his ex-girlfriends found new partners, he would always sincerely offer their blessings. Why did he feel so uncomfortable this time?

Batman looked at Damian: "Do you know their relationship?"

Damian answered honestly, "Yes, they have been together since I can remember. My grandfather and the entire Assassin's League have tacitly acknowledged the relationship between Todd and my mother. However, before Todd returned to Gotham, he managed the business for the O. Gu family."

Batman: "..."

Even when Lei Xiao was still alive and had the highest hopes for him, he had never managed the Assassin's League's assets.

The atmosphere was so silent that Damian felt uncomfortable. He said, "Father, as far as I know, Todd crawled out of the grave by himself and lost his memory for a while until his mother pushed him into the Lazarus Pool. After he recovered his memory, his mother sent him to various parts of the world to learn guns, assassination and other skills. There must be a deal between them."

Nightwing asked, "What deal?"

Damian said with a sour face: "In addition to managing the industry, Todd also killed several tough guys for the Assassin's League. My mother also asked him to be my fighting teacher and take me on missions. I don't know anything else."

Having said that, in fact, everything that should be understood is clear, that is, Jason and Talia are indeed having an affair, and they have been having an affair for quite some time.

Moreover, Jason and Talia are both adults, the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, so it is normal for them to be in a relationship. It is reasonable no matter where they are. Even if there is a big age difference and they are in different camps, it is their own business and outsiders have no right to interfere.

Even Batman had no reason to care, not to mention that he had long been unable to control what Jason did.

The child is old enough to teach grandma how to remove grandpa's tire, but he can't even control grandpa, let alone dad.

Damian looked at Nightwing, crossed his arms over his chest, and raised his chin. "It's you, Grayson. You looked a little weird just now. What's wrong?"

"nothing."

Nightwing replied quickly, only to realize that his tone was a little too cold.

He quickly calmed down and patted the child on the shoulder.

"Come on, let's go back. I'm glad to see that you decided to stay with Bruce, Damian."

Jason had been standing on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze, looking a little depressed.

Talia walked over to him with two glasses of red wine and handed him one, "My love, you look unhappy. Why? You saved me, and I kept my promise to let Damian go back to Gotham. Everything is fine."

Jason took the wine glass and watched the red liquid swaying in the clear glass.

He whispered, "Thalia, do you have a headache?"

"Headache?"

Talia smiled with her eyes curved. "Are you worried that I'll be affected by the Lazarus Pool? Don't worry, I'm fine. I don't have any discomfort. After all, I'm also a member of the O. Gu family. It would be better if you have more confidence in me."

Hearing this, Jason looked at her deeply, with an inexplicable sadness in his turquoise eyes. Talia seemed to see something.

She asked gently, "Do you think the water in the pond will affect my love for you, my love?"

Jason shook his head. “No, the pool water won’t affect love.”

The Lazarus Pool will only make love insignificant in your heart and infinitely magnify your desires.

Talia came over and kissed Jason again. In the afterglow of the sunset, Jason asked Talia: "My summer vacation is here. When you finish your work, do you want to go on a road trip with me? It doesn't take too long, a week will be fine."

Talia rubbed his nose affectionately: "Well, you may have to wait a long time. I have a lot to do this year. My father died, and I have to deal with those disobedient people and make the Assassin's League operate stably again."

Jason was still worried about Talia, so he decided to accompany her back to the Middle East, with the reason being "I won't interfere in your family affairs, but I will protect your safety here and leave when the situation stabilizes."

Katie and Kurt did not stay long. They quickly said goodbye to Jason and teleported back to Xavier School for Gifted Children.

Katie waved to Jason before leaving: "We helped you this time, but you have to make delicious food. Laura misses you too, remember to visit her more often."

Jason smiled and nodded, watching Katie and Kurt holding hands and disappearing into the distance.

However, just half a month later, Katie suddenly received a call from Mindy.

"Hey, Katie, it's me, Mindy. Jay said he would come back to lead me on night patrol tonight, but he never showed up after I arrived at the rendezvous point. I tried everything I could to contact him, but I can't find him. Do you know where he is?"

When Katie received the call, she was sitting in the cafeteria having dinner with Qian Huan and Laura. Laura was sitting next to her. The little wolf girl had sharp hearing and her expression changed immediately when she heard the words. She stared at her with her big eyes.

Katie's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She comforted Mindy first, then stood up and shouted, "Kurt, take me back to the room. I need to check something on the computer!"

The blue youth quickly landed beside her, hugged her and teleported away.

Laura and Qian Huan looked at each other, stopped eating, got up and ran towards Katie's room.

It was a very chaotic night. Katie used hacking technology to find the location of the signal of Jason's communicator, which he must have carried with him, but found that he was in the hospital.

That's right, it was the hospital where doctors Stephen Strange and Christine Palmer worked and where Jason had been hospitalized twice.

On this hot summer day, Kurt wore a helmet, wrapped himself tightly, and rushed to the hospital with his friends who were worried about his friend. Qian Huan ran to the hospital front desk and learned from the nurse that Mr. Jason Pennyworth was lying in the operating room for rescue.

The nurse on duty was a lady named Sharon. She looked worried: "It was a girl who looked like Asian who rushed in from the hospital entrance with him. We were all shocked."

Hearing this, Laura stomped her feet and ran towards the operating room. In the corridor outside the operating room, two Avengers, Natasha and Steve, were already sitting.

There was also a strange Asian girl sitting there, with blood stains on her clothes. She was pale and expressionless, and was wearing a torn leather jacket, but there were no obvious wounds on her body, and the blood was not hers.

Qian Huan and Natasha nodded and walked up to the Asian girl: "Hello, I am Jason's friend Qian Huan Li. Can you please tell me what happened to Jason?"

Cassandra looked up, her hands clutching the hem of her jacket.

"I'm Cassandra, Jason's sister. He was injured to protect me."

Cassandra closed her eyes. She still remembered the scene - Talia ordered them to shoot, and Jason pulled her behind him and quickly opened the portal to take her away.

She tried to cover Jason's wound and carried him to the hospital, but the blood continued to flow out.

The girl huddled herself into her jacket, closed her eyes and shivered slightly.

No one slept well that night. The next day, when Jason woke up, he saw Natasha sitting next to him peeling an apple. He moved his calf and felt something pressing on it.

He looked up and saw that it was Cassandra who was pressing down on his calf, and Laura was lying on the bed next to him.

Natasha saw him wake up and lowered her head to take a bite of the apple.

"Tell me, what happened to you? I haven't contacted you for half a month, and when you showed up again, you looked half-dead."

Jason replied dryly, "My girlfriend brought some people to fight me."

Natasha: "God, your girlfriend is so fierce. How did you provoke her to treat you like this? She dumped you, right?"

Jason smiled bitterly. "Well, she was dumped. I just ruined a few of her good things. I destroyed some human experiment data and stopped Cassandra's mother from using her to breed more powerful biological weapons. Then my girlfriend and Cassandra's mother were so mad at me that they teamed up to kill me."

Natasha nodded in admiration: "Amazing, you are the only one who can escape with one person from the joint attack of the Devil's Daughter and Lady Shiva."

Jason: "I think when we broke up, Talia looked like she was almost mad at me. She thought that letting Cassandra be a fertilization machine was for my own good, because the most suitable person for this task in the Assassin's League was not Cassandra, but me. She couldn't bear to part with me, so she decided to sacrifice Cassandra, but I failed her kindness and ruined her plan..."

Natasha nodded when she heard this. She didn't know the true relationship between Damian and Jason, but she knew that Jason had one more organ than ordinary people.

She then said calmly, "I have reminded you long ago that you should be careful about safety when dating someone from a different camp, understand? You now look only slightly better than the legendary Quick Hand Roy who had a child with a girl from the villain camp. Even though you were injured, at least no one was killed."

Jason: "..."

He silently pulled the quilt up to cover his face.

As for causing a death or something, Baobao is already old enough to be Robin, and his and Talia's child is not their biological one. In this respect, he is not as good as Roy.

It wasn't until Natasha left that Jason sighed tiredly, all facial expression gone.

He looked at the ceiling and thought that he had missed his beloved again.

The last time the Joker took his life, causing him to miss Dick, he hated the Joker because the Joker took him away from Bruce, Alfred and Dick.

This time he was the one who brought Talia into the Lazarus Pool, so Talia, who was willing to give in for him and wanted to go on a road trip with him, left, and they missed each other. Jason didn't blame Talia, she had already given in too much for him before, and he could only blame himself.

"If I had arrived earlier and prevented Talia from being fatally injured, everything would probably be different."

……

After finishing her work for the day, Talia subconsciously reached to the side and suddenly remembered that the boyfriend who would make her tea and place the small portal on her desk had broken up with her.

In such a tragic way.

It was obviously Jason who let her down, so why was she still worried about him?

She covered her chest and took a deep breath, then pounded the desk in annoyance. The desk shook and a piece of paper fell on her shoe.

Talia picked up the note without knowing why, and found familiar handwriting on it.

[Thalia, I've thought about it for a long time, and I should formally tell you that I still love you, but I can't be with you anymore. Thank you, the time I had with you was really wonderful. I regret that I didn't have time to go on a road trip with you before, and I'm sorry that I made you so angry when we parted. I'm sorry. - Jay]

Talia looked at the note for a while, then she crumpled it up and threw it into the bottom drawer along with the photo of her, Jason, and Damian that she had taken in Hawaii.

There was a voice whispering in her mind, telling her that what she did was right. Jason was unwilling to be with her and fulfill her ambitions, and even wanted to stop her. So even if the love was still there, they should not continue to be together. Jason must have understood this when he gave her this breakup letter.

In that case, she shouldn't be reluctant.

Talia stood up, walked to the door and shouted, "Yab, get someone to come and engrave a magic circle that confines space in my office!"

If we're going to break up, let's do it completely.
