batman and red hood

From Jason's mouth, Dick knew that things were still slightly different from what they had imagined.The scarecrow originally planned to sell fear gas to Elsa, and Elsa's buyer was an organization in the Middle East, and the purpose of the purchase was for weapons.

Luthor's goal is to control the poisonous gas of the nervous system. He asked Bruce to jointly develop it under the banner of medical use.Esma is developing towards this aspect, and Scarecrow wants to develop a more advanced fear gas based on this poisonous gas.

With Esma and the Scarecrow at odds, the Scarecrow's development of a new fear gas hits a snag.And now after the scarecrow is caught, this matter is naturally gone. Elsa is also a smart woman, and there is no evidence left in the whole incident. The chat records copied by Dick are limited to prove that this woman has a deal. , It was just a deal with the previous Esma.

Esma's death was a drama that they didn't expect.It's completely different from what they imagined that the scarecrow killed people and silenced him. He died from the attack of a drunk. The disfigurement of his face was the result of the rupture of another chemical reagent that he carried with him when he fell. The chemical reagent was extremely unstable. Therefore, no clues were left on the body, and Bruce still found some clues in the composition of the soil where the body was found.

According to Bruce's speculation, Esma originally planned to join Luther after escaping from the control of the Scarecrow. His purpose should be to exchange a sum of money from Luther with the chemical reagent he developed, and then temporarily leave the United States to hide Started the scarecrow hunt, but there was such an accident.

"...Luther doesn't seem to have anything to do with this matter?"

Jason asked a little strangely.

"You are too naive, kid. That guy's purpose is to develop weapons, and his buyer should be the US military."

"……Then there's no way?"

Jason said a little unwillingly.

"...Well, this is the cunning of that guy. Every time something happens, it is obvious that he is the mastermind from the normal logic, at least the guy who pushed behind, but in fact every time They all escaped legal sanctions by using this kind of side-ball, and even pretended to be a victim.”

"...then we can only watch?"

"Well... that's the only way, after all, we have no evidence"

After Dick finished speaking, he squinted at Jason who was sitting beside him sullenly, thought for a while and said:

"Don't worry, that guy's plot is impossible to succeed."

"why?"

"We still have the old fox Lucius. Since Luther is discussing cooperation in the name of medical use, Lucius will definitely be able to turn it into a medical project."

"Can nerve gas still be used medically?"

Jason was a little surprised.

"Well, this kind of thing is the same as snake venom. It goes both ways. When Luthor came to discuss cooperation with Bruce before, Bruce didn't immediately agree out of vigilance, but he meant to get involved from the very beginning, so he didn't completely I refused Luthor's request for cooperation. If the research and development is successful, this thing may be used to treat paralysis of the nervous system, but the cost may not be what Luthor expected."

Dick imagined Luther's aggrieved face, and laughed unconsciously.

"Medical R&D is more expensive than military R&D?"

In Jason's mind, military research and development should be the most expensive research and development.

"It's not just from the amount of investment, but from the perspective of time cost and return on investment. Medical ones are much more expensive."

"why?"

"Hmm... Which is more difficult to destroy or build?"

Dick asked Jason in turn, Jason thought for a while and said:

"put up"

"That's right"

“…feeling dry for nothing”

Jason was very disappointed. He thought that this matter could be completely dealt with, but things were completely different from what he had imagined. Even if the police in Gotham caught the Scarecrow and put him in Arkham again, the mastermind behind the scenes had nothing to do with him. There is no way.

"Ha, you can't say that anymore, at least we prevented the birth of a chemical weapon, didn't we?"

Dick comforted Jason, what they could do was really limited, but they could only do what they could.

Jason was silent for a while and asked:

"Superman also has such a time??"

"Yes, in fact, he encounters this kind of thing more."

"...then he will be very... that kind of...that kind of... um..."

"A sense of powerlessness?!"

"right"

"Little Wing, let me tell you that you must be interested in him. How about I give you his phone number and you can ask yourself?"

"I'm not interested"

"Don't say that, let me tell you, I almost became a permanent resident of that river once I went to solve a case without telling Bruce."

"I'm not interested in listening"

"Don't say that, let me tell you that I really almost sank to the bottom of the river, but Superman came, and then..."

Jason frowned and listened to Dick nagging about the past, and by the way complained about Dick being almost grounded by Bruce until he was 30 more than once.

When Alfred came to the medical room with snacks, he saw Dick lying on the hospital bed endlessly nagging and Jason sitting aside with an impatient face but still listening to Dick nagging.This kind of brotherhood in an ordinary family made the old man smile.

"Actually, Master Bruce was very dissatisfied with Master Clark for finishing the geometry homework for you, so he deliberately sent him a letter."

"Hey?!! Bruce knows? Well, I thought I could finally hide something from him"

Dick knew he shouldn't be so naive as to think Bruce didn't know anything about it, even though Bruce didn't mention it at all.

"Tch, I thought Superman was really powerful, but I still can't hide it from Bruce"

"You can't say that about Master Jason. Master Bruce only found out that Master Dick's motorcycle was at the crime scene and not in the Batcave."

"Ah... I wonder why the motorcycle is in the Batcave. I thought it was Clark who brought it back to me."

"No, it was brought back by Master Bruce"

"Oh fine"

"By the way, Christmas is coming soon, does Master Jason have any ideas?"

"Oh, yes, this is Jason's first Christmas, how about a big party?"

Jason was taken aback by what Alfred and Dick said.In the past, the meaning of Christmas to Jason was that there were more prey. People immersed in the festive atmosphere would easily lose their vigilance. Relatively speaking, the success rate of theft would be higher, and the church would also provide free food, which can be eaten. Up to the point of being full but that's about it.It was the first time he had been asked how he wanted to spend Christmas.

"What's wrong, Robin"

During the night patrol, Jason's abnormal behavior caught Bruce's attention.

"……nothing"

Jason was still squatting on the roof and watching the jewelry store across the street in a daze. He answered Bruce's question almost out of conditioned reflex.

Seeing Jason's abnormal behavior, Bruce remembered what Alfred told him today:

"Anything you want for Christmas?"

Bruce's words successfully woke up the dazed Jason, and he was in a hurry to hold the telescope that was about to fall.After tilting his head to look at Bruce, he thought for a while and said:

"... Nothing Wanted"

If it was before, what he wanted most was food that he could eat all he wanted, a warm bed, and no one who called and scolded scum all day long. Now these dreams have come true.Sometimes Jason would wonder if he was dreaming when he woke up in a daze in the middle of the night, and then he would return to the cold room full of screaming when he woke up from the dream.

"Hmm! What a disappointment, you don't let people prepare Christmas presents for you"

A delicate voice suddenly came from the side and startled Jason, but Bruce didn't respond at all.

"If you want Christmas presents, buy them instead of stealing jewels, Serena"

"I hate it, just call me by my real name, I won't call you Bruce at this time."

A woman stepped out of the shadows, her black tights highlighted her perfect figure, and she slowly walked towards them with a whip in her hand.

Jason knew her. Her iconic appearance was as famous as Batman in Gotham Underground, but the reasons for her fame were different from other crimes. The reason why she was famous was that she liked to steal jewels; Many people want to pick her up.

Catwoman walked up to them and naturally put her arms around Bruce and gave him a kiss, and Bruce seemed to respond to the kiss without objection.He just felt sorry for Jason who was ignored, he didn't know if it would be more appropriate for him to leave now.

Finally enough kisses, Catwoman let go of Bruce, and turned her gaze to Jason who was aside:

"Huh? So you're Bat's new Wonder Boy?"

Jason, who hadn't recovered from the shock just now, could only nod stiffly.

"So cute, how old are you? Bruce's bad habit is always like abducting little boys"

Jason's reaction seemed to arouse Serena's interest. She let go of Bruce and walked to Jason's side to get close to him on purpose. Jason could smell the perfume from Catwoman's body, faintly Jasmine scent.

"Serena, give up on your plans for tonight"

"Humph!"

Catwoman took Batman's warning completely seriously, and this was the first time Jason had seen someone ignore Batman's warning.

"Also, I will return these!"

"Varied……!!"

Serena stretched her hand to her waist belatedly, and a pocket that was hanging there had disappeared at this moment, while Batman was holding an identical bag in his right hand.

"!!! You!!! This emotionless man!!!"

Like a real cat, Serena immediately pounced on Bruce, and with a hook of her right hand, some fabric on Bruce's cloak was removed.

Bruce's cloak is a high-tech material that is very light and thin. When a weak current passes through it, it can harden, and it can bear Bruce's weight and make him glide in the air.It can even block a certain amount of impact, but one of the biggest disadvantages of these materials is that they are not cut-resistant. Jason was surprised when he heard it. This is the first time he knows that body armor is not necessarily cut-resistant.But even so, Serena's raised fingers can grab some fragments of the cloak, which is enough to show that the fingertips of her gloves are not usually sharp, just like a real cat... , If you say turn your back, turn your back.

Jason stood there watching the man and woman fighting inextricably... Strictly speaking, Serena fought again, while Bruce was just dodging.

After failing to hit it a few times, Serena could only stop angrily:

"It's so boring, let's forget it tonight, hum!"

Serena jumped off the roof gracefully like a cat, and Jason hurried to the edge of the roof to find that she had swung onto another building with the long whip in her hand.

"Don't you need to catch her?"

Jason asked Bruce who was standing aside curiously.

"……Need not"

Jason looked at Bruce who turned away, and he became a little curious about the relationship between Catwoman and Batman.
