Brand Master [Comprehensive Yingmei]

A child with extraordinary talent is more difficult to deal with than an ordinary child. It is precisely because he is born with a genius and has an unusual talent that he is prone to problems.

A child like Jason, who is not only born a genius, but also becomes more permeable and alert under Vera's teaching, if no one can pull this child down during his arrogance period and let him walk on the ground, bear Sooner or later, the child will suffer a lot.

What's more, Jason obviously still has some plans and visions for Gotham, and there is no shortage of words in his words that tend to replace Batman and let him retire (...).

"It's really surprising. I thought you would just let Jason get rid of this dangerous idea."

Hal was a little surprised.

When he and Vera were building the galaxy train together, he could see how much she cared about Jason's safety. As a result, Vera didn't object to Jason's dangerous idea at all.

But Vera was very calm:

"He has his life, it's none of my business - I educate him, not control him."

Hal was silent for a while, and then said softly: "...I see."

He left with a complicated expression.

Although Vera's words were indifferent, after confirming Jason's thoughts, she was as proud as Vera, bowing her head to Batman for the first time.

Vera, who once forced Batman to admit his leadership in public opinion and was invincible and arrogant in front of everyone, admitted that he was not as good as Bruce in this respect, and entrusted him with the right to teach the children.

Of course, Jason didn't know what kind of concessions Vera had made for this. He was so angry with Vera's shamelessness that he ignored her for three whole days, and his liver hurt.

...Of course, this has something to do with the fact that Bruce has trained Jason enough during these three days, leaving no time for parent-child communication with the children.

Both the mother and the son stayed in the base at the same time, but except for the necessary teaching, the angry Jason stubbornly refused to talk to Vera. Childish "Cold War".

The former is so angry every day that he is waiting for some deceitful villain to give in first and apologize.

As a result, there was a temporary accident at Wayne Entertainment, and a huge mistake was made in the promotion of the game. Vera hurried over to save the scene.

Jason: "..."

Completely different from Vera's persuasive and considerate teaching, Batman's education method is extremely simple and rude.

First, he mercilessly suppressed the bear boy with force, and then pointed out his lack of physical fitness and various understandings and innocence with a venomous tongue, and finally it was boring basic physical training.

He took a lot of time during the day to stay in the Zhenglian base to suppress the bear children - as a result, for three full days, everyone witnessed a wonderful scene of Jason fighting Batman.

Bruce asked Jason to get up at six in the morning, and Jason dared to wake up at 05:30 in the morning and set up tricks on the bed to scare Bruce;

Bruce asked Jason to take a basic physical fitness test, and Jason dared to test and run without anyone noticing;

Bruce asked Jason to learn the simplest fighting techniques, and Jason was able to use up all kinds of street fighting skills in sparring to piss off the teacher in front of him.

Not only that, but he can play all kinds of pranks... Hal once accidentally ate a sandwich Jason had prepared for Bruce, and the next second he was crying because of a tube of mustard in the sandwich.

It's a pity that Jason's opponent is Batman.

Facing the brat who was full of tricks, had a lot of problems and didn't cooperate at all, he saw every trick and dealt with it freely, and calmly threw these little tricks back on the kid himself, tossing Jason himself enough.

...No way, Jason is still young no matter how talented he is, Bruce can completely suppress a child with one hand.

Anyway, in the beginning, these two Gotham men (boys)... have a lot of issues with each other.

Leaving aside the unlucky ones like Hal who strayed into the battlefield, the people who eat melons said that this chaos is really exciting, and they can watch it for another year.

In the end, it was Clark who smoothed things over.

He didn't shoot because of the confrontation between Jason and Bruce, he just didn't want the child to have misunderstandings with Vera because of this reason.

While Vera was still busy with the promotion of the game, Clark took the opportunity to find some free time and "borrowed" Jason from Mr. Bruce's hands for a chat.

The identity of Superman is still very useful in front of Jason. He took the child to the office where Vera and Bruce often work together, and asked solemnly:

"You should have always been curious—why did Vera get involved with the Justice League and still work in the Justice League's base every day?"

Jason was calm: "Is she the PR director of the Justice League?"

Jason wasn't a fool either. When Vera brought him to the Justice League base for the first time, he already got the answer by insinuating. After returning, he looked up the meaning of the so-called "public relations".

Clark smiled and shook his head.

"It's not just as simple as a PR person."

He paused, as if recalling something, and said softly with his eyes:

"Speaking of which... your mother created the Justice League brand."

In mid-January, the heavy snow stopped suddenly.

The sky across Washington turned clear, and after the sun came out, the melting snow made the city even colder.

Vera's high-heeled shoes stepped firmly in the thawing snow, her cheeks were slightly red from the cold wind, she covered half of her face with a scarf, and walked faster.

Behind her were Joel and Cynthia. The two young men were obviously in poor condition, with obvious shame and frustration on their faces.

Just a day ago, they had some conflicts with a certain game evaluation website due to game promotion issues. The other party cunningly tampered with the contract, which caused Wayne Entertainment to suffer a lot, and might have to pay compensation.

After learning about this problem, Vera immediately rushed over to negotiate with the other party's website instead of Joel and Cynthia. Not to mention the contract issue was resolved in a few clicks, and the game evaluation website was even cheated.

After that, because all the advertisements placed on this website could no longer be used, Vera had to find another way, non-stop looking for other self-media and websites to ask about advertising acceptance one by one.

Cynthia and Joel, who knew they had made a big mistake, sat in the car, looked at Vera in the driver's seat, and apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Ms. Senna, it was our mistake, I'm really sorry."

They originally thought that Vera would be angry, but they didn't expect that Vera, who was driving, didn't look back. Instead, she seemed to be very used to it, and said calmly:

"It's okay, as novices, you are much better than some people."

Cynthia & Joel: "..."

Does this 'certain person' refer to...

"A year ago, we stumbled and stumbled a lot on this road."

In the Justice League's office, Clark explained to the astonished Jason with a smile and nostalgia:

"Before we became the Super Seven, we didn't think about how our image and public opinion would affect the outside world and ourselves, except for Batman. As for Batman-he thought about it, but it was only limited to The way he was in Gotham as the Lone Ranger."

"and many more--"

Jason interrupted Clark strangely, and there was a clear sense of confusion in Yuanyuan's eyes:

"What Super Seven?"

Clark: "..."

Jason gradually came to his senses: "The Super Seven—are you talking about the Justice League? When did you have such a title?"

Obviously, he has never heard of the Justice League and the ghost name of the Super Seven.

As soon as the words fell, Clark held his forehead as if he was completely speechless, and couldn't help muttering:

"...Sure enough, it's exactly the same as what Vera said."

After a whole year, Jason's reaction to the name once again confirmed the correctness of Vera's categorical rejection of the name "Super Seven".

"You should know about the Washington War more than a year ago, right? In fact, from the end of the Washington War to the official establishment of the Zhenglian, our name at the beginning was not the Justice League, but, uh... the Super Seven."

Thinking about the past, I always feel a little ashamed, but now, facing Jason's blank face, Clark had to pinch his nose and tell the ins and outs of the name that was rubbed so hard.

"At that time, public opinion was not friendly to us."

Jason didn't remember the Super Seven, but he vaguely remembered that Batman's reputation in Gotham seemed to be quite bad: "It's Batman who is holding back, right?"

"Do not."

Clark sighed with a smile, a little embarrassed, "Actually... each of us had a bad reputation at that time."

Seeing that Jason obviously didn't believe it, Clark thought for a while, and simply dug out the public opinion survey report that Vera showed them at their first meeting more than a year ago.

In this report, people's support for superheroes is only 12%.

In order to verify this data, Vera also conducted anonymous surveys - the data of these anonymous surveys are now presented in front of Jason:

"These damn superhumans should be arrested! How much damage have they caused in Washington? We are paying for all the damage!"

"Superman? Green Lantern? The Flash? ... Well, I don't care what they call themselves, these guys need to be controlled by the government and the military! They are like wolves put in a rabbit cage, and they will take us one by one kill!"

"Batman? Isn't he just a masked weirdo? He is the biggest criminal in Gotham himself, why should he be awarded the Medal of Honor?"

"Wonder Woman dresses like a slut. I don't want to see her on TV. It will have a bad effect on women."

……

Jason's eyes widened.

"Freak", "Wealthy Wolf", "Female Cousin", "Inhuman", "Needs to be Controlled", "Accuse", "Suspected of Murder"... all kinds of vicious and anonymous comments slipped in front of the eyes of children. However, he was obviously greatly shocked and hit:

"...Are these people talking about you? Are they calling... superpowers?"

Are these people crazy?

Everyone in the Justice League is a superhero. How can a superhero kill people and do bad things?They've been saving the world all along, okay? !

"The Super Seven at the time were just 'superpowers,' not 'superheroes.'"

Clark spread his hands, with a helpless expression.

The child thinks this way now only because he has been being guided unconsciously since he came into contact with public opinion—that is, being guided unconsciously by Vera.

And at that time, there was no public relations, no publicity, no channels to speak out, no evidence to prove their innocence and ideas, so everyone hated and feared the Super Seven—so far, Clark can still remember Trevor Constantly contacting public relations companies, but none of them are willing to undertake Zhenglian's business.

However, since when did the public call them "superheroes" instead of "superpowers"?

——The young woman in a beige-gray suit walked towards him in those black pointed high-heeled shoes.

It was a sunny day, her figure was blurred in the light and shadow, only those cool and bright eyes were shining brightly in his memory.

Clark laughed: "So, Vera is here."

Her presence in their world brought light to this malevolent world.

The car engine started, Vera waited deliberately, and heard a strange sound in the car compartment.

She immediately got out of the car and knocked on the position of the engine. With a soft "meow", a gray kitten rolled out from under the site in panic.

The kitten was wet by the snow and shivering from the cold. Two young girls who were chatting on the side of the road exclaimed at the same time. One of them immediately took off his scarf and jumped over regardless of the snow on the side of the road. Wrap up the kitten.

——This wool scarf is from the Chaoying peripheral products released by Zhenglian Forum. On the red and blue scarf, the Q-version image of Superman is exquisitely and cutely embroidered.

The girl didn't care about the dirt on the kitten's body at all, she wrapped the kitten in a scarf, coaxing softly:

"Don't be afraid, take it easy, you're safe dear, this is Superman, Superman is holding you!"

Her companion also quickly took off the scarf to protect the kitten—this black scarf is Batman's companion.

"Baby, are you still scared? You see Batman is here to protect you!"

The two girls walked towards the pet hospital across the street with the cat in their arms. Vera drove slowly on the slippery road back to Wayne Entertainment.

The frozen snow on the eaves melted, and the snow dripped on the ground. There were still many Christmas decorations in the roadside businesses. Joel and Cynthia could clearly see that the Christmas trees were full of Christmas trees produced by BANDAI. The superhero figures—these ordinary Q-version figures reproduced according to the one-day surprise of Zhenglian Forum are showing sweet and lovely smiles at passers-by.

In the street playground in front of the toy store, there are children playing with Zhenglian Chaoying in their normal form, and the parents walk behind with smiles.

Some of them dangled in the air with the figure of Green Lantern, simulating the flying posture of Green Lantern; some held the figure of Batman and couldn't put it down, imitating the sound of "beep" when the Batmobile was dispatched. .

There is also a middle school child holding a Superman figurine in one hand, and doing the iconic action of Superman taking off with the other hand: "Superman! Go out to save the world!"

The parents all laughed.

"Honey, do you want to be Superman?"

"Oh, don't mention it, last time this kid crossed the road without permission and was almost hit by a car. It was really Superman who stopped by and saved him. He stuck in Superman's arms and refused to come down for a long time... You little villain!"

The car went around this intersection, and a long line appeared, and drove a few hundred meters along the end of the line, and came to a comic shop.

The door of this store is completely open, and there are several lines in line. The store is crowded with people, and everyone is holding detective comics and the newly released comics jointly released by Zhenglian: "Green Lantern: Never Give Up"

A big poster was pasted at the entrance of the comic shop. On the poster, the scene of Green Lantern clenched into fists and soaring towards the dark sky gave people a great visual impact. Almost all passers-by could not help but look up. Smile and leave.

All the people who grabbed the comics had joyful smiles on their faces. A few high school boys walked out of the comic shop with the comics in their hands, discussing loudly:

"Green Lantern is the most powerful superhero ever! Let's argue! I've seen Green Lantern take down bank robbers in my neighborhood! Green Lantern - omnipotent!"

"Cut! Where did you put Superman? Superman is a god on earth! The strongest hero in the world!"

"No, no, I think it's Shazam..."

The teenagers laughed and ran past the hotel entrance, and the girls standing at the hotel entrance looking at their mobile phones all showed disgusted expressions.

It's not that they reject the behavior of the teenagers, but...

"I think The Flash is the gentlest and kindest superhero in the world. Of course Superman and Green Lantern are good, but to be honest, the Flash is the best!"

"Yeah yeah, The Flash and Batman are two of my favorite superheroes - I'm going to marry one of them when I grow up."

"...I think you've read the fanfiction, it's impossible for Batman to marry you!"

A few girls stood at the entrance of the hotel, just to pass the main plot for the lightning hamster in their mobile phones, and when they mentioned their hamsters, they couldn't help laughing silly.

The huge kite flying in the direction of the park has a pattern of Superman. From a distance, it seems that the real Superman is slowly flying through the air, which caused a lot of exclamation, and the giggling laughter of the children spread far away.

At the corner, someone was wearing a Batman COS uniform, holding a donation box for a charity foundation in his arms, collecting donations for the orphans. up cat ears.

Under the red light at the intersection, a sharp "catch the thief" sounded, and several passers-by on the side of the road turned their heads in unison, rushing towards the robber with no fear on their faces.

The police quickly arrived and handcuffed the man: "It's a good thing you were caught by enthusiastic passers-by, man, if you run into a superhero, you'll be in the newspaper, understand?!"

At another intersection, a group of demonstrators holding huge signs reading "Support the Women's Soldiers Rights Protection Act" are facing the sit-in demonstration at the White House. Among them, several girls wore Wonder Woman costumes in the winter. Uniforms, they held up the signboards in their hands, their eyes were bright and energetic, with some kind of mission-like belief.

Everyone is bright and dazzling, and this world is like a bright galaxy, shining brightly all the time.

Sitting in the car, Cynthia stared out the window blankly, her eyes flicked across the smiling passers-by and the ubiquitous traces of Chaoying, and she couldn't bear to leave for a moment.

The radio was on in the car, and the radio host happened to be talking about the column program "Superman and The Flash Tell You Stories" that has recently attracted much discussion. Under the praise of the host, Cynthia, who had been looking out the window, suddenly had red eyes .

Recalling the situation of mutants, Cynthia couldn't help feeling: "...this world treats superheroes so gently."

Seeing the ignorant and hopeful expressions of the two mutants through the rearview mirror, Vera tilted her head slightly and hooked the corners of her mouth.

"……what."

Vera said.

"This world is inherently gentle."

"This world...is not gentle at all."

Clark lowered his head and patted Jason's head. He looked at the boy who finally found out what Vera had done and was extremely shocked and astonished, and explained softly:

"It's just...the world created by Vera Senna is very gentle."

After running back and forth, Vera parked the car at the gate of Wayne Entertainment Company. After watching Cynthia and Joel return to the company safely, she closed her eyes and pressed the center of her eyebrows with her hand.

After a busy day, the sun was about to set, and the cold wind gradually became stronger. The dizzy Vera simply stood in the wind and moved her hands and feet and her stiff and sore neck before she was ready to drive back to Zhenglian.

The moment she turned sideways, her movements stopped.

In the dim forest not far away, Clark and Jason stood there at some point, and under the light of the headlights, two long shadows, one big and one small, were dragged out.

Vera froze for a moment, and was about to frown and ask Clark if he had skipped class with the brat, when she was suddenly hit by a soft shell.

The child wrapped up like a rice dumpling threw himself into her arms viciously. Vera subconsciously squatted down, hugged Jason with her backhand, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "What's wrong?"

Jason buried his head in Vera's chest and didn't speak.

"Did Batman bully you?"

The little ostrich shook his head.

"You didn't study hard and skipped class secretly?"

The little ostrich shook his head again.

Seeing that Jason didn't say anything, but just hugged her resolutely and refused to let go, Vera could only raise her head and glance at Clark.

Clark also shook his head with a smile, as if there was light in his deep blue eyes.

"I didn't skip class, I just missed you."

He said nonchalantly, reaching out to Wei La, "I'll take him to pick you up."

Vera:?

"The Justice League is the world's first superhero league. Let alone Vera, even we ourselves don't know what form it should exist in, and what mode it should operate in."

It is precisely because they have never had it before, so they don't know anything, and they stumble and stumble every step of the way.

"This world is not gentle at all. It is sinister, dangerous, scary and dark in every way-all the tenderness and kindness of this world for superheroes are woven and guided by Vera herself."

The heroes of the Justice League are very powerful, strong enough to protect the world, but also very weak, so weak that they can't even protect Vera Senna.

They are also helpless, they are also confused, they have been forced to succumb to the rules of this world, and they have also been hit hard.

Lightly ignoring all the hostility and danger Vera had experienced, Clark looked at Jason who was already stunned, and his tone gradually became solemn:

"Don't blame Vera for handing you over to Batman—with Vera's pride, if there is a slight possibility, as long as she can protect you in her own domain, she won't compromise her pride to ask Batman .”

She is so proud of being alone, she will bow her head to ask others only for you.

With Superman around, even transporting people back to the base by car is only a matter of seconds.

The three returned to the base at the same time, just in time to bump into the gloomy face of Bruce who was guarding the door.

——Obviously, he was dissatisfied with Clark's behavior of forcibly taking his students away.

Seeing that Vera was calling Mary to discuss matters during the day, Bruce frowned and said seriously to Jason:

"If you're always going to be doing those little tricks in the basics of fighting instead of learning—"

"I learn."

Jason, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

Unexpectedly, the child's attitude would suddenly become so cooperative, Bruce paused, and then said:

"Hope you've committed to a longer period of time than I thought."

Clark standing by and watching: "..."

One is cold and vicious and the other has a bad temper. There is a reason for the two of you to quarrel every day.

Fortunately, Jason didn't care about Bruce's venom at the moment. He raised his head expressionlessly to look at the two superheroes in front of him, and said word for word:

"I will study hard—since none of you can protect Vanessa well, I'll just do it."

Under Superman's explanation and persuasion, Jason's sultry anger towards Vera disappeared completely. At the same time, the thoughts that had been hidden in his heart burned and swelled rapidly, and his thinking completely went astray.

——The superheroes of the Justice League, including Batman, are all unreliable.

Jason thought of it this way:

If it was him, if he grew up, he would definitely be able to protect Vera in such a dangerous world.

Bruce: "..."

Bruce looked at the culprit Clark faintly.

"..."

Seeing this from Bruce's questioning eyes, Clark twitched his lips a little bit ashamedly, speechless.

But it was his speechless, obviously helpless expression with a trace of distrust that completely angered the already sensitive little wolf cub.

Jason's eyes sharpened for a moment. He pouted, squinted at Clark and Bruce, and said with disdain:

"I can do a lot of things that you can't do!"

Clark sighed good-naturedly: "...Would you like to hear more about it?"

"for example……"

Jason stared at the two big men for a few seconds, rolled his eyes, and ran to Vera in front of them.

Just when they both thought that the brat Jason was going to sue or apologize to Vera, the brat sneaked into Vera's arms because Vera was sitting on the sofa talking to Mary.

He sat on Vera's lap, looked at Superman and Batman from a distance, and raised his chin triumphantly.

—I can sit on Vera's lap and cling to her, can you?

I can cling to her and protect her from morning to night, day and night, can you?

In the next second, before Jason finished chattering, Vera hugged Jason while making a phone call, and gave him a gentle forehead kiss.

Clark: "..."

Bruce: "..."
