batman and red hood

The next time Batman sees the boy, he's crouching on the roof above the boy, watching him sit in the rudimentary cardboard makeshift shelter, smoking a cigarette butt that he may have found He coughed a few times, choking on the smoke, and held half a baguette in the other hand. If he read correctly, the other end of the baguette was already showing signs of mold.

Batman narrowed his eyes, recalling the results of yesterday's computer search.

Jason Peter Todd, around 14 years old.But that size doesn't make it possible to believe that he is over 12 years old.The father is basically a villain and a scumbag. Through the wide neckline of the big white T-shirt, you can still see the old and new scars on the young body.An orphanage under Wayne has a record of the boy's admission, but the last record is that he ran away, because there is a guardian, although he is a scum, but according to the regulations, the orphanage must notify the guardian, so the boy He disappeared from the orphanage.

Obviously, he didn't want to go home, he would rather hide in this kind of makeshift pile of paper shells in this cold weather.

The paper shell swayed a little, and a little black puppy came out. The puppy wagged its tail and walked towards the boy, probably not yet weaned.

When the boy saw the puppy, he threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, took out a small broken bowl, poured some water into it, broke some bread in his hand, put it in, stirred it casually with his fingers, and pushed the bowl in front of the puppy, The puppy wagged its tail and ate happily.

The boy didn't know that directly above him, the big black bat was watching all this.

A gust of wind blew in, and the boy shivered and hugged the little black dog into the pile of paper shells, as if planning to fall asleep right there.

Looking at the pile of paper shells trembling in the cold wind, Batman made a decision.It came down from the roof without a sound.

When the paper shell was lifted, the little black dog was so frightened that it shrank into the boy's arms and kept whimpering, but the boy still fell asleep without any response. Looking at the flushed little face, Batman was already The furrowed eyebrows became even tighter.

Picking up the boy and the black puppy, Batman decided to end his night watch tonight.

Jason felt fits of cold and heat, and inexplicable pain all over his body, which made him unable to sleep soundly.

"...Where is this place?"

Trying to open his eyes, what he saw through his blurred vision was a strange ceiling, without the cold wind when he woke up in the past. Although he was covered with a dry and warm quilt, he still felt cold.

Jason tried to sit up, looking at this luxurious room strangely, his head was so muddled that he couldn't concentrate on thinking, and he couldn't figure out what happened.

A wet and hot tongue licked his face, and he turned his head to look at the little black dog who was wandering with him.

Watching him wake up, the little black dog wagged its tail happily and purred in favor.

The door of the room was opened, and an old man in formal attire was standing at the door with a plate. When he saw him wake up, he said happily:

"Oh my God, you finally woke up, how do you feel?"

Jason looked at the old man strangely, his brain was a bit fragmented, and he couldn't connect to the current situation at all.

"It looks like you still have a fever"

The old man's voice seemed to be separated by a layer of water mist, and some could not hear clearly. A cool palm was attached to his forehead, which relieved the inexplicable headache.

"The fever hasn't subsided yet. Eat these things first, then drink the medicine, and sleep again."

Jason was fed a bowl of sticky food in a daze, and then took some medicine for no reason. After lying on the bed, he fell asleep again.

"how is he?"

After Jason fell asleep, the door opened again, and the little black dog happily wagged its tail at the visitor.

"Not very good. If the fever doesn't subside tomorrow, I suggest sending it to the hospital. I hope it won't turn into pneumonia."

Bruce looked at the sleeping boy on the bed, and stroked the puppy to keep it from barking.

"Master Bruce, have you decided?"

"Isn't it possible?"

"Of course not, it's just that this kid is different from Master Dick. You should know that his identity is very complicated."

Of course, Bruce knew what Alfred said. The biggest difference between Jason and Dick was that he had a guardian. Although his terrible guardian didn't care about the child's life or death, it didn't prevent him from taking the opportunity to knock on the child. a sum.

Given who he was, honestly, it might not be a good idea to keep Jason around.

"We can send the sample to the orphanage until he is capable..."

"I know, Fu"

Bruce looked at the boy who had been in a comatose state, and what he thought of was the expression of the boy sharing food with the little black dog, and he made a decision.

"Ah Fu, I want to adopt him"

"But Master Bruce, if his guardian does not agree, it is impossible for you to go through the formalities"

"I know, so I didn't plan to do it"

"...Is this good? If the other party comes to me..."

"That man doesn't care about Jason's life at all, so he won't know where Jason is..."

"...I'm not sure if your decision is the right one, but I'm afraid it's for the best with this kid"

When changing the boy's clothes, the old and new scars, large and small bruises on the boy's body are enough to tell others what happened to him in the past.

Bruce stroked the little black dog's head and turned to leave the room.
