Schizophrenia

The first week after Dick left, Jacob was in the hospital.This speed made Jason a little stunned. By the time he realized it, Jacob had already been in the hospital for a while.Although the relationship with this younger brother is not very good, Jason still remembers the various entrustments Dick gave him before he left.So after school, he asked about the little brother's situation. Ah Fu was quite relieved by this, and turned the car to the hospital.

It happened to be three o'clock in the afternoon when I went there, and Jacob was not in the room when Jason entered.Ah Fu didn't seem surprised by this, and asked Jason to wait in the room for a while, then turned and went out.

Jason looked around the room quite bored, and remembered that the weather was not bad today, so he turned off the light and turned around and opened the heavy blackout curtains behind him.Jason stood by the window, the sky outside the window was still the characteristic gray of Gotham, densely packed with high-rise buildings, making people look depressed.

There are always too many secrets in the Wayne family that he doesn't know.Like why everyone is so accommodating to Jacob, like why Bruce, who is so rich, decides to become Batman, like why Dick left Gotham when Robin was great and Dick was such a good night out.

"Jason?" The door behind him was pushed open, Jason turned his head, it was Bruce.

"He fell asleep?" Turning his head to look at the child who was held by Bruce with one hand and lay on his shoulders.The tender white feet were hanging in the air, the slightly pale lips were slightly parted, and the eyes could not be seen, because Bruce's other hand was covering the child's eyes, protecting him in a protective gesture.

Bruce looked at Jason, who didn't know anything, and finally condemned him without saying a word: "Close the curtains." Covering Little Jack's eyes, he stood in the shadows without moving, until Jason turned around and closed the curtains with an inexplicable expression on his face. The room became dark.Bruce's eyesight was still able to see clearly in this environment, he took a few steps forward, put Jacob on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.

Jason consciously turned around and went to the small cubicle beside him. The Wayne's family was short of money.

"Why are you here?" Bruce's first words when he came in caused Dick to roll his eyes.

"Is it okay to care about my brother?" Jason felt that what he said was really false, "Dick gave the task." It was true, after Dick heard that Bruce had sent Jacob to the hospital, he sent him here See how little Jacob is doing.It stands to reason that Dick, who is usually in such low pain, should be very anxious, but Jason could hear relief and vague unhappiness from Dick's tone.

Therefore, the Wayne family has the most secrets.

"What about you?" Bruce didn't ask what task Dick had given him, but just sat across from Jason and looked at Jason.

"What me?" Jason asked with a puzzled expression.

"Why did you come here?" Bruce poured Jason a glass of water, "Just ask Ah Fu about this."

Jason refused to admit that he actually cared about this little brother, after all, he was the youngest child.Well, of course it was because Dick was nagging all day long, and the family lacked someone to fight against him, so he was very uncomfortable: "I will be quieter if I don't go back, brat, just ask me how long I can be quiet."

Bruce didn't try to expose Jason's lie: "It will take some time, and you will probably be able to stay quiet until the end of the year."

"One year?!" Jason's eyes widened, "Is he seriously ill?" He couldn't tell at all, he had the energy to destroy his homework in all kinds of weird ways, and he had the energy to splash ink on his bed every day , The guy who always fights against him is so seriously ill?Can't see it at all?

"Not really," Bruce read countless people, and he could see that Jason was thinking wrongly, "It's just that Jacob's problem is special, and I need to take him to see more experts." He couldn't tell Jason that Dick left a few days ago. , the part of Jacob's body that belongs to the artificial man began to deteriorate.

Jacob's question, the fewer people who know about it, the better.It's just that the future magician was able to survive, perhaps because of the staggered three years, he solved potential hidden dangers for Jacob.I am afraid that it is precisely because it is the future self who solves this problem that Ah Fu thought that Jacob was dead back then.

So who set up that tombstone?

Questions came one after another, but no one answered.

Jason wanted to cross: "Is there anything I can do?" No wonder the entire Wayne family is responsive to this child.

Bruce opened his mouth to say something, but the child standing at the door of the study suddenly flashed in his mind.He also wondered if everything would have been different if he had told Jacob that he was looking for the truth about the death of his parents.But there are no ifs in everything, they missed it after all: "I have wronged you," he said to Jason, "I know I am not a qualified adoptive father, and Dick said the same."

The sudden self-reflection left Jason at a loss as to how to respond.

"Especially because of Jacob's affairs recently, I have been so busy and dizzy." Bruce slumped back, laying on the sofa and looking at the ceiling, "Jacob's affairs are quite special, but Jason, in my heart you all It's my family." Usually, he can say anything about his playboy appearance, but now he is a little awkward for the closest person.

Jason blinked at Bruce, who was clearly in an awkward position.

"I know this is too much, can you please give Jack a little more?" Bruce tentatively said, "He's actually not a bad person, and he just wanted to thank you for your attention." He didn't dare Look at Jason's expression, because he knows it's too much.

They are all children, why let one of them accommodate the other.

"I can……"

"it is good."

Before Bruce finished speaking, Jason interrupted him: "He's my brother."

Bruce's hand holding the cup was stiff in the air, and he looked up at Jason full of surprise.Jason turned his eyes away from looking at Bruce: "As Dick said, he is my younger brother. Isn't an older brother protecting my younger brother?" It was as if Dick was facing him, even though he would bully him, even though he would laugh at him , but will offer him all good things from beginning to end.

"If only I had thought like you back then, it would be great." Bruce's sigh was like an illusion. When Jason looked over, it was Bruce's profile staring intently at the door of the cubicle.
