batman and red hood

Jason followed Zach in familiar streets and alleys, and finally entered a hidden room.

"You're not in the old infirmary anymore?"

This is almost a room in the basement. Compared with Zach's previous infirmary, it can be described as rotten.

The dim light enters the room through the narrow glass windows on the upper floor, and the floating dust in the air can be seen under the reflection of the light.These were completely unimaginable in Zach's infirmary before. This man had almost cleanliness requirements for the hygiene of the room.

"Sit whatever you want, I'll see if there's anything to eat"

Jason sat on a dilapidated sofa in the room. Although Zach didn't answer his question, he could guess that someone in the original infirmary was probably there waiting for him to go back.

Zach brought a cup of coffee and some biscuits from the room after a while.The smell of cheap coffee permeates this small and dark space, making the environment feel less depressing.

", your favorite food in the past, but I'm afraid it won't catch your eye now, let's make do with it."

Zach put coffee and biscuits in front of Jason with a sarcasm.

"...how do you know I like to eat this?"

Jason asked strangely, his relationship with Zach was not very good.

"You only steal this brand of biscuits every time"

He took out a piece of biscuit and fed it to his mouth. It was damp and not as sweet as he remembered, and even a little bitter. He glanced at the date on the packaging, and the slightly blurred writing indicated that the bag of biscuits had expired.

"Are you treating him?"

Jason didn't say a name, but Zach knew who he was talking about.

"I don't do that anymore"

Zach answered Jason's question in a disguised form.

"You can go back and have a look"

Added one more sentence at the end.

Filling another biscuit into his mouth, Jason was silent for a while and said:

"...no"

I had the experience of being ambushed once. Although Himmler has fallen, maybe that guy will provoke someone to lie in ambush there. Jason doesn't want to experience the experience of being kidnapped again, and with his current If his identity is kidnapped once, Dick will die laughing.

The last time Jason sat in Zack's medical room eating a cookie was when his dad got shot in the ass.From then on, when Jason couldn't find anything to eat, he would go to Zach's medical room to steal cookies.

Jason looked at the biscuit bag in his hand, because he often steals things, Zach's attitude towards him is not very good.Little bastard, little brute, bastard, almost every time he was caught anyway, Zach would yell at those nicknames and shake him out with a bat or something.

After staring at Jason for a while, Zach suddenly said:

"My son died at your age"

This was the first time Jason heard Zach mention his affairs, and there were many rumors about Zach.Many people speculated that he must have failed to treat someone with a good background, and then he was expelled. After all, Zach's medical skills are really high.

"...you still have a son"

"Well, it's naughty like you, a piece of junk took drugs and drove over him, and then I have to operate on that piece of shit"

As if recalling something, Jason could guess that the operation failed, and then Zach became a victim of the forces behind that garbage. During the time spent by Bruce's side, Jason's FǔBài level towards Gotham was finally There is a clear concept.

"You did your best, didn't you?"

Jason had seen Zach perform operations on others, and he didn't believe that Zach would deliberately let the operation fail.

"Heh... heh heh, I never thought that the one who would believe me was a brat"

Zach laughed loudly. After the operation failed, everyone accused him of deliberately making the operation fail. No one wanted to believe that he would do his best to save the garbage that killed his son. The jury of Fǔ Bài approved that he intentionally killed He was deprived of his qualifications as a doctor, and his family, reputation, and his dignity were all completely lost because of that rubbish.

"I thought you hated me"

"Hmph! You don't even know how conspicuous you are. There are all kinds of people in my ghostly place. Maybe some sharp-eyed guy will see your true appearance."

Zach's words did not surprise Jason, on the contrary, there was a feeling that it was so.

He has always been puzzled by Zac's ambivalent attitude since before, although Zach always yells that he is not allowed to come near his medical room, but every time Jason goes to steal cookies, they are always placed in the window Never changed places near fixed location.

"...I really can't understand what those perverts who like little boys are thinking"

Jason pouted and said.

"Humans are creatures with no bottom line. Only the group of guys above who don't eat fireworks will think that everyone is kind. Only the environment can create evil. If the law disappears from this world, this pervert will only More"

Being at the bottom of Gotham, they have seen too many broken human natures, so they sneered at the slogans of love and beauty preached by the guys above.

"However, you are already by Bruce Wayne's side, so you should think this sentence is too extreme."

Zack seems to be laughing at himself for indoctrinating a child with too many extreme ideas.

"……Do not"

It was by being with Bruce that Jason realized that crime had nothing to do with poverty, and even money had nothing to do with it.

The atmosphere quieted down. Jason is not a person who is good at chatting, and he and Zach have nothing to talk about at all. After a while of embarrassment, when Jason was about to leave, Zach suddenly said something that made Jay Sen didn't think of it at all:

"You look more and more like your mother?"

Jason never thought he would hear about his mother from an outsider.

"I still have a mother?"

Jason's rhetorical question made Zach laugh out loud:

"Do you think you jumped out of a crack in the rock?"

After finally stopping the laughter, Zach tried his best to laugh at Jason's thoughts.

"No, I thought I was picked up by that man"

"Oh, come on, your temper is exactly the same as your father's, you can see that it's your own."

Jason stared at Zach for a long time, this sentence didn't sound good to him.

"You were born or I delivered"

Seeing Jason frowned, Zach dropped another bombshell.

"My mother...what's her name?"

"do not know"

The blunt answer made Jason want to beat him up.

"Don't look at me like that, the less you know about our business, the better"

It is an unspoken rule of black doctors not to ask patients any questions and only take money to do things, which is good for both patients and black doctors.Patients don't have to worry about their whereabouts being exposed, and black doctors don't have to worry about being targeted by some people because they know too much.

"... When did she leave?"

Regarding his mother, Jason has no impression of his mother at all since he can remember. There is no evidence of the woman's existence at home, no photos, no records, nothing, the man never mentioned anything about the woman, and the woman His only relationship was endlessly coming back with women covered in cheap perfumes, and Jason would usually leave that crappy room with a sense of humor at such times.

It never occurred to Jason that the woman and the man had ever lived together.In his cognition, he was either picked up by this man's sudden surge of sympathy, or he was thrown to him by a woman who had slept with him after birth...

"I don't know, not long after you were born, I haven't seen that woman again..."
