[Comprehensive British and American] Jason Wayne's Road to Struggle

Jason has to go to school during the day, his grades have always been good, especially the literature homework is easy to complete, so now he will choose to finish all his homework at school, and then go to Andrea to make cakes, After Andrea's "work" in the first half of the night, go home with her and make a cake.

As a kid, Jason would just bake the little cakes, and Andrea would take them away and go to one of her customers' stores and sell them between two and five in the morning.

When Andrea returns home at six o'clock in the morning, she can go to Jason's house to eat a bowl of off-brand oatmeal. The amount is not large but enough to warm her stomach, but the quality is not guaranteed, and then she will sleep until four o'clock in the afternoon. Get up, and then rush to the bar to "work".

Well, if she was unlucky enough to meet a customer who was difficult to deal with, she might be tormented miserably, and naturally the cake in the second half of the night would not be sold.

This fucking life, sometimes Jason feels that living is quite tormenting. He secretly swears that if he wants to live like Andrea one day in the future, he might as well tie the pot at home and run to the port of Gotham One jump, once and for all.

Then one day Andrea announced to Jason that she was in love with her dentist. God knows how she can afford a dentist when she is so poor. Jason didn’t even see a dentist when he changed his teeth. There have been no problems, and it looks very neat.

That's a scumbag, Jason realized this when he came to deliver the cake, because that man didn't want to marry Andrea at all, he was married himself.

Andrea and Jason hid in the phone booth outside in embarrassment, crying like dogs.

"I'm so miserable. Two years ago I had a house and a car, but now I look like a cheap stupid woman who was cheated by a scumbag."

Jason squinted at her: "Aren't you?"

Andrea gave him the middle finger: "I'm not cheap! I have a health certificate! I can be considered a mid-range consumer in bars!"

Jason almost paid tribute to Andrea at this moment.

But life is full of misfortunes, and a gang of gangsters gathered outside. After a while, the gangsters began to fight.

Jason: "..."

Why on earth did he accompany Andrea to be silly here?And why are there gang fights even close to Uptown?What luck is he!

There is no need to count on the police. He only prays that Batman and Robin will come over quickly. It is still raining heavily outside. Jason sincerely hopes that he can go home safely without injury or cold. He has no money to buy medicine!

Jason couldn't believe that the Goddess of Fate could write such a fate for himself. He originally thought that being deformed was considered the worst life in life, but it was obvious that he could be even worse.

He carefully observed the outside.

"They haven't found anyone in the phone booth yet, we can find a chance to run away, Martha, you should also observe the surroundings."

Andrea burst into tears, and she muttered: "What's wrong with me, how can my life be so miserable and a failure?"

Jason said viciously and precisely: "Nonsense, from the fact that you picked the elementary school son of a woman who is addicted to drugs and stupid to be your partner, it can be seen that you will definitely not be able to get ahead!"

Andrea burst into tears even harder, even though her head and face were already covered in rain after the pouring rain, it was hard to tell that she was crying.

Jason actually wants to cry too, but the more dangerous he is, the less he will let himself cry. Children in Crime Lane must learn to be strong from an early age, and those who are not strong will not be able to grow up to jump to Gotham at his age bay.

In the end, Jason saw the timing and decisively pulled Andrea away from the phone booth. He was going to sneak into a nearby alley when no one saw her, and quickly took the trail to leave. Was affected to hang up.

Just as they were slipping over there, Andrea said in a crying voice, "I don't want to die."

Jason moved carefully, and replied firmly: "I don't want to die either, I just found out that selling cakes can make money, I was promoted to the fourth grade, and I earned money for my mother's medicine, so I don't want to die now !"

Andrea waved her fist: "Me too, I also fantasize about buying a house in another city to take you out of Gotham, send you to an elementary school with a quieter atmosphere, and send your mother to Stark sponsorship in New York before moving." drug rehab..."

This nagging almost caused them to be discovered. Jason grabbed Andrea's skirt and pulled the dreaming girl into the alley.

In fact, there are gangsters in the alley, but they all fell to the ground. It should be because they fought with their superiors, so they all fell?

At that time, Jason didn't know that the catwoman in the urban legend was actually helping them secretly, otherwise Jason would have bumped into a group of gangsters who were fighting each other. It can only be said that he would occasionally put his lunch on the way home from school. The fact that the saved food was used to feed the cats still invisibly saved him some character.

Catwoman watched the two little guys run successfully, her red lips slightly curled up, and she ran and jumped between tall buildings with light steps.

She was called "Selena" when she saw Batman, and "Catwoman" when she saw Robin.

who is she?She's the best thief in Gotham, the freest black cat.

Jason later heard Andrea say that the dentist had divorced his wife, and he spat "serves it right" and went back to stirring the eggs and flour.

As for the dream that Andrea told Jason in the hail of bullets, Jason also silently remembered it.

Regardless of whether Andrea's dream is successful or not, she is the first person to promise Jason a future.

Jason had never tried the feeling of having siblings, but Andrea was almost like his own sister in his heart.

Then when he went to visit Andrea in the bar again, he called Andrea "Sister Martha" in a low voice while Andrea was not paying attention.

In fact, he only called this name once, and Jason was really very quiet. Andrea was busy selling cakes at that time, so she didn't hear this sentence.

This incident made Jason feel regretful for a long, long time. It would be great if he could scream more at that time to let Andrea know that he regarded her as his sister.

Maybe Andrea already knew that Jason regarded her as his sister?After all, she treated Jason no differently than she treated her younger brother.

Then two months later, Andrea somehow received a good business order - to make an oversized cake for the birthday party of an upper-class lady, and deliver it to the banquet site.

It was a huge test of Jason's skills, he couldn't understand why this business fell to them, and Andrea later told Jason that it might be because his cupcakes were so delicious.

"Honey, even Robin came to buy cakes from us when he was on night patrol. Do you know that this time it was the young master of the Wayne family, the adopted son of Bruce Wayne, who personally said that he wanted to eat some cakes?" our cake."

Andrea said so.

Jason stomped violently: "Let's not talk about why that kind of young master wants to eat a cake from a small shop under the overpass that is less than 10 square meters. I will never make a damn big wedding cake!"

Andrea patted him on the shoulder: "The method is all thought up by people. If this order is made, we will have an income of [-] US dollars!"

Then Jason received a cake-making cookbook.

At that moment, he really wanted to take his own oven to the port of Gotham and jump off it.

In order to have a decent image to deliver the cake to the destination, Andrea took Jason to pry open the window of her former home in the middle of the night, and then dug out a maid outfit from her childhood box and threw it to Jason .

The reason was that she didn't have decent little boy clothes and they couldn't afford decent little boy dresses.

Jason hissed, "I hate you, Andrea Martha Sionis."

Andrea smiled at him: "And I love you, dear Jessica Todd."

They also wanted to find some valuables from Andrea's passing house and sell them for money, but in order not to be caught by the security line, they quickly climbed the ventilation duct together and slipped away.

In the process of escaping, Andrea also praised Jason for his agility. Maybe in the future, he might compete for Batman's little follower. If he can't be Batman's follower, he can still be Robin's follower. Anyway, he is a teenager A good candidate for a superhero reserve.

Jason was embarrassed by her praise, so he could only mock himself: "Come on, a monster like me can only do some petty theft and apply for Catwoman's servant, and she will think I'm bad at picking locks. "

Although he really knows skills such as lockpicking and prying tires, those are common skills for children in Crime Alley, and Jason is a smart kid who is eager to learn, so it's no surprise that he knows this.

But superheroes wouldn't take a freak out of Crime Alley as their sidekick, and Jason never fancied that.

He's always been very good at dispelling unrealistic thoughts so that he can accept the terrible reality more calmly, which is probably a common skill of the people in Crime Lane.

Then they just went to a so-called birthday party full of high-class people.

Jason didn't have any concept of birthday. After all, he had never received a decent gift since he was a child, and Catherine had knitted him a pair of gloves.

Later, Jason cherished those gloves very much, and he was often reluctant to wear them in winter, but the gloves were gradually worn out, and the thread ends came out, turning them into a pair of not-so-good gloves.

Sometimes Jason would pull out his little bag from under the bed, which contained the bear, the knife, and this pair of gloves Andrea had given him, and think there was hope for his life.

It's not that no one loves him, it's just that it's hard for everyone to just live, so they don't love him that deeply, and they can do very little for him, but compared with other children in Crime Lane, Jason is still a The lucky ones.

However, Jason was still very dissatisfied with the banquet afterwards, and he ran to Andrea angrily.

"Hey, there was an old man taking advantage of me, and that rich little guy named Dick Wayne touched my waist. I repeat, Andrea Martha Sionis, I hate you."

"I'll say it again, I love you, honey, Jessica."

Andrea gave Jason a look: "Little maid, look here, this is the high society I dream of wanting to come back to, don't you think it's beautiful here, and the food is delicious? Look, there's even There are reporters from the Planetary Daily in other places to shoot!"

She pointed at the big man wearing glasses not far away, and Jason said: "This is Gotham, who cares what foreign reporters are doing here? I hate everything here except the food, and I hate the way many people look at me." , they managed to make me feel like I was surrounded by perverts!"

"Hey, not every rich man likes you. Although you look good and are a beautiful baby, it's normal for people to look at you, but you look too young. I attract more attention than you."

Andrea was telling the truth, but Jason was very good-looking, with neat short black hair, blue-green eyes, and a stubborn, delicate and childish face, which made many people want to pinch her when they saw this little maid. Pinch his face.

Anyway, they held hands and danced together on the dance floor, then immediately fled the venue.

After all, the cakes they sent there actually had some "little problems" in quality, but as a small cake shop in the downtown area, it would be nice to be able to deliver such a large "cake", and don't ask for such a big cake for others. Too much.

While escaping, Jason accidentally bumped into a lady. He hurriedly shouted "sorry" and chased after Andrea with his skirt in his hands.

Diana Prince looked at the backs of those two people, her rosy lips curled up.

She sighed softly: "Lovely child."

Dick Grayson walked beside her, glanced at the running back of the little maid, and nodded with a smile.

"Yes, and very spicy."

When he was talking, he gave him a hug. Usually girls would dance with him, but that girl gave him a stern look, then turned and left.

Like a rebellious blue-eyed kitten, with a sense of vitality.

That money did improve the lives of Jason and Andrea. Andrea rented a small shop in a safer location to buy cupcakes and milk tea.

She learned how to make milk tea, and put cream and color on the cake by herself. Soon, she will be able to use cream to draw a puppy on the cake. Jason didn't say anything, but he felt for Andrea in his heart pride.

This girl used to be a young lady. Later, her family fell into poverty and was tortured by fate, but she was still living a positive life. Jason felt that he had learned a lot from Andrea. For the first time, I candidly tell the truth about my body to someone other than my mother.

Andrea was silent for a while after knowing the secret, then rubbed Jason's head and said, "Do you want to be a boy? Then let's save money together, and I will send you for an examination in the future to see how I can make you a boy." Healthy boy."

She is really a good girl. To Jason, she is not only a partner who encourages each other, but also a relative. Maybe after a while, after Jason overcomes the obstacles in his heart, he can call her openly. elder sister.

However, Gotham probably really cannot tolerate happiness.

Days later, Andrea was shot dead in a robbery where her belongings were looted by men from the bar where she used to work.

Gotham is really a city that can make people shed tears. It is too difficult for a little person like Jason, who is doomed to be unlucky from birth, to live in such a city.

The author has something to say:

In DC, there is always such a bitter hero who has special feelings for the name Martha. Batman’s mother is called Martha, and Superman’s adoptive mother is also Martha, so give Jason a Martha to illuminate his childhood~
