batman and red hood

Jason doesn't have much time, Bruce will come back late these two days to track down the black mask, but Alfred will definitely go to the room at 10 o'clock in the evening to check the post, and Dick is under the covers when sneaking He didn't want to use the low-level method of stuffing the quilt, and it was definitely impossible to work, so he had to go back and lie in bed before 10 o'clock in the evening.

Thinking about his available time, Jason decided to visit Elsa's apartment farthest from Wayne Manor first tonight.

"...Is it really not possible?"

Squatting on the roof and watching the dark room opposite, I got nothing except my cloak being crackled by the strong wind from the upper floors.After looking at the time, the time he preset in the bat computer monitoring system was approaching, Jason felt that it would be better for him to start returning now.

But giving up just like that made him a little unwilling. After squinting and staring at the opposite room for a long time, he found the most suitable angle, installed a disguised surveillance camera, and left his first stop.

Back to the Batcave smoothly along the sewer, because the return time was a bit earlier than expected, Jason hid in the blind corner of the surveillance camera and waited patiently for a few minutes before returning to the Batcave smoothly.

There was no one in the bat cave, and Jason hurriedly called up the surveillance video to check the situation in the manor after he left.Things were about the same as he expected. Alfred came to collect the dinner plate about half an hour after he left. After finding the plate on the ground, he stood at the door and hesitated for a while. In the end, he didn't enter his room, but just took the empty meal. Pan left the corridor.

After quickly browsing the surveillance video and making sure that there was no video of him leaving the Batcave, Jason restored the computer to its original state, left the cave and returned to his room.

Looking at the watch, it is now 59:[-], and unless there is any accident, Alfred's biological clock is horribly punctual.After a few steps, he climbed onto the bed and wrapped himself in a quilt from head to toe without even taking off his uniform.

At ten o'clock, the sound of Alfred's footsteps appeared in the corridor on time, and soon the bedroom door was pushed open, and Jason could feel Alfred's gaze judging whether he was himself or a person stuffed with a quilt. The time didn't last long, and soon the door was closed, and the dark environment returned to the room. Jason stuck his head out from under the stuffy quilt and heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that he barely passed the test this time.

I don't know if Bruce is too confident, or Jason is favored by the goddess of luck. Until Jason installed a surveillance camera near Elsa's last apartment, this method of sneaking out under the time difference was not accepted. Discover.

After installing the cameras, Jason no longer needed to take the risk of sneaking out, he just needed to sit in the bedroom and use the bat computer network to monitor these cameras.

But none of the pictures Jason wanted appeared on the camera, which made him doubt his own judgment.The cameras were placed too hastily, and because they were afraid of being discovered, they were placed in a location that could not monitor the entire apartment.

"Jason still angry?"

Bruce was the only one at the dinner table again, Jason seemed to be angry for a little longer this time.

"I'm afraid Master Jason will be angry this time until you lift the restraint on him."

Alfred was not surprised by this at all. Jason's behavior was more appropriate as a silent resistance to Bruce's decision than anger.

But Bruce doesn't seem to think so:

"He's been at the manor all this time?"

"certainly"

Bruce still felt a little strange, he stood up and decided to go to Jason's room to take a look.

Pushing open the bedroom door, Jason was lying on the bed reading a book at the moment.Seeing that it was Bruce coming in, Jason turned his back on him to express his displeasure.

Bruce took two steps forward and then stopped. This made Jason heave a sigh of relief. The surveillance screen he placed was playing on the laptop covered by his body.

"It's been a long time since we fought each other, let me see how much you've improved"

The first sentence that Bruce spoke was not Jason's expected "this is for your own good" or some comforting words of "Black Mask will be arrested soon for another two days", but it was so irrelevant A light word.

Since Jason graduated from basic training, Bruce has never actually guided his training. Jason's fighting style now has more and more his own characteristics. Speaking of which, the two of them have not fought against each other for a long time.

"I'll be waiting for you in the training room"

After Bruce finished speaking, he left the room, leaving Jason struggling in the bedroom whether to watch the surveillance in the bedroom or to train with Bruce in the training room...

"Are you sure he will come?"

Alfred asked uncertainly, he could see Jason's stubbornness, not to mention that Jason was still angry about being grounded.

"Of course he will come"

Bruce paid no attention to Alfred's question.He knew Jason well, so he wasn't surprised at all when he saw Jason standing at the door in his training uniform with a pouted face and a unwilling expression on his face.

In the afternoon's battle training, Jason showed a long-lost smile.Bruce was amazed by Jason's progress, although he had already noticed how talented Jason was in fighting.One inattentive, Bruce's fist hit Jason firmly in the face, knocking him to the ground.

"It's okay"

Bruce asked with some concern, he didn't retain any strength in that punch.

"...It's okay, I was distracted"

Jason got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said indifferently, he was glad that Bruce finally saw him as an equal opponent instead of a child who needed protection.

Looking at Jason's unyielding eyes, it reminded Bruce of when they first met, when Jason stared at Gotham Legend with this look.

"Do you want to continue?"

"certainly"

Getting up from the ground, Jason once again set up his posture for the next round of competition.

An afternoon of pleasant battle training could not change the fact that Jason was still grounded, so at this moment Alfred could only helplessly stand at the door of Jason's room, conveying comforting words for Bruce that nothing was better than nothing.

"Master Bruce has found clues that can convict Black Mask, so it shouldn't be a few days."

Of course, Alfred's words did not get a response from the room. The old man sighed secretly and left the door. He could only hope that Bruce could quickly send the black mask into Arkham to resolve the deadlock.

In the room, Jason was staring at the video on the computer. He didn't care if Bruce took him on patrol. He had more important things to do now.It's just that the strength of his fingers typing on the keyboard betrayed his true thoughts at the moment.

"I'm just a child in Bruce's eyes, damn it!"

Distraught, he threw the computer aside and lay down hard, feeling the strength of the mattress rebounding under the impact.

"...What are you doing, you look like a kid"

After the anger finally passed, Jason felt ashamed of his behavior like a kid who couldn't get a toy and lost his temper. He got up again and turned on the computer again, checking the surveillance video. This time, the content in the surveillance video All the remaining anger in his chest completely disappeared.

Number Four's camera monitoring Elsa's high-end apartment in downtown Gotham captured a figure of a man passing by the window. Jason dared to use his experience of living with that man for more than ten years as a guarantee that it was him!

"……Got you!"
