Chapter 79 Give me some more time, Jason

Back in the Batcave, Jason didn't say anything about what happened just now.Jason's attitude consumed Bruce's patience, making the dark knight's tone worse and worse.He was sure that the man's fall must have something to do with Jason, but Jason never mentioned it.

"Jason! Answer me!"

Bruce finally lost his patience, and good upbringing prevented him from swearing an inappropriate swear word.

"Would you believe me if I said it's nothing to do with me?"

"You don't say anything, how can you make me believe it?!"

"If it's Dick, you'll believe it, right? Huh?"

"At least Dick doesn't disregard other people's lives!"

As soon as Bruce's words fell, he saw the dimmed luster of those green eyes. Bruce frowned and finally said the decision:

"Starting today, you are temporarily prohibited from going out as Robin, and you are also prohibited from entering the Batcave"

In the end, Bruce didn't say anything to death, but temporarily banned Jason's Robin career.

"cut!"

Jason let out a groan unwillingly, turned his head and hurriedly left the Batcave. The muscle tissue that had begun to take shape was bouncing tightly under the tights to show his dissatisfaction. He walked so fast that he almost hit the Alfred coming out of the elevator.

"Master Bruce, I hope you didn't really think that way just now"

Alfred heard the dispute between Bruce and Jason. From his point of view, what Bruce said just now was a bit too much.

"Ah Fu, ban Jason from entering the Batcave, and ban him from going out after seven o'clock in the evening"

Bruce did not answer Alfred's question, but instead issued an order as the master.

Alfred knew that this was a performance that Bruce knew that he was a bit too much but refused to admit it, so he could only follow his words:

"As you wish, sir"

After returning to the room, Jason could only vent his anger on the pillow on the bed. After hugging the pillow fiercely and beating on the bed, he could only accept the reality that he was deprived of his Robin identity.

"...Sure enough, it's still not as good as Dick..."

Dick followed Bruce earlier, and was also better at communicating than himself. If it was him, he probably wouldn't have such a trouble with Bruce.And if it was him... that guy wouldn't have jumped off the building...

Jason lay on the bed looking at the ceiling, and then moved his eyes to the uniform he had thrown on the floor.

This red Robin uniform was chosen by him. When he suddenly began to grow taller and had to change his uniform, he planned to replace Dick's original three-color uniform. At first, he wanted to choose one that was the same as Bruce's. The black color is good for easy movement.He never understood why Dick chose a super-conspicuous color scheme that was completely opposite to Bruce's. Later, he realized that Dick chose this conspicuous color at first because it looked good, but in later actions he found that if he was very conspicuous Then, Bruce's actions become easier, so this set of uniform colors that are not much better than Superman's three primary colors has been used until now.

After hearing what Dick said, Jason thought for a long time and finally decided on the color of the new uniform to be red.

"Red suits you very well. You have red hair and a bad temper. You're wearing bright red clothes. Are you planning to change your name to Red Robin?"

Jason still remembers the first day when he ran to show Dick in his new uniform, Dick's teasing words and his slapped expression...

Lying on the bed in a daze for a while, finally got up from the dead body, walked to the table, turned on the computer, and looked at the string of e-mails on the screen, that woman's.

This is what he went to Haim's company as Jason Todd to get.

A boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a face exactly like the woman's, his half-truths and half-truths won the sympathy and trust of the people who received him in Heim Company.

The person who received him told him that the woman had been dispatched to the Middle East branch and might not come back in a short time, so he gave him the woman's email address as the only way to contact her.

Open the mail system, copy the string of addresses into the recipient, watch the cursor jump in the grid of the text, but still don't know what to write.

What to start with?

[Er... hi, hello, I am your son, Jason Todd]

This will definitely not work. Jason can't even be sure if that woman is his mother. After all, there are many people in the world who look alike, or

【Ms. Sheila, I wonder if you still remember a man named Martin Todd】

If asked that way, even if she really did, she would deny it. A woman who abandoned her man and child without saying anything would probably not want to see him.

Jason scratched his hair and thought about how to write the beginning. Finally, after hesitating for a long time, he simply typed a few words in the email:

【Hello!I'm Jason Todd]

Jason looked at the short words without any intention, and thought that even if the woman was not the one he was looking for, then he should just treat the letter as a mistake. After hesitating, he pressed the send button.

How many days will it take for a response?one day?two days?Or no reply at all?If there is no reply, let's just pretend it didn't happen, Jason thought so.

He didn't know that in a private house far away in the Middle East, there was a person looking at the information sent from the computer with a look of extreme excitement.

"Little Pudding, there is a cute kid who will find his mother again."

Harley Quinn sat in front of the computer and looked at the new email that had just arrived, then turned her head and spoke to the man sitting on the sofa drinking coffee.

"Oh, what did I say? The long-lost mother and child reunion, how touching, do you think it is Ms. Sheila?"

The clown jumped up excitedly from the sofa, jumped a few times to the side of the woman sitting on the opposite chair, naturally put his arms around her shoulders, and asked with a big grin.

"……Yes, it is"

Sheila didn't even dare to look at the clown's smile that was almost sticking to her face. The brighter the clown's smile, the more terrifying things were about to happen.

"Harry? Did you hear that? Our Lady Sheila can't wait to see her son"

"I heard that, mrj"

Harley Quinn's fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard.

"Oh, remember to write down Ms. Sheila's mood at the moment"

The clown thought of something again and turned his head to ask the clown girl.

"no problem mrj"

As a woman with a doctorate in psychology, Harley Quinn can easily imitate the tone of a mother who has not seen her child for a long time and is eager to see her child.

Soon the letter appeared on Jason's computer.

[Jason?Jason is that really you?my god are you alrightGod, how is your father? Forgive me, I can't meet you because of my appointment with your father, tell me how are you now?Is he nice to you?He refused to tell me your current situation...]

Jason looked at the string of densely packed words, which showed a mother's longing for her son.

His fingers stayed on the keyboard for a while, and he quickly typed a sentence and sent it.

【He is dead】

The other party soon wrote back again:

[Oh my god, my poor child, do you have a place to live now?I mean did someone adopt you?If... If not... Would you like to come back to me...】

Jason looked at the reply letter and fell into thought.

Doubt has been a part of Robin's life for so long, and Dick sometimes laughs at him for being more and more like Bruce.

So at this moment, facing the enthusiastic invitation letter sent by the woman who might be his biological mother, he instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find anything suspicious.

That woman is in Gotham in the Middle East, and there is no conflict of interest at all. She didn't even become Bruce's adopted son when she left Gotham, but she is not allowed to know that she has been adopted by Bruce. After all, Bruce is a celebrity .

Jason found out about the woman's past, and her experience made it hard for Jason not to think that her enthusiasm for him might have something to do with Bruce.

Looking at the string of addresses and phone numbers at the end of the reply letter, Jason picked up the phone after thinking and thinking, his fingers wandered back and forth among the few remaining numbers in the phone book, and finally dialed Dick's number.

"Jason? How did you remember to call me today?"

Dick and Jason haven't seen each other for a long time, Dick has been busy with his own business, and Jason has been busy fighting crime with Bruce.

"...that... Dick... are you free recently, that... I want to go somewhere..."

Jason stammered his request, he really didn't want to tell Bruce, not only because he had just had a fight with Bruce, but more importantly, if his guess was correct, that woman was going to use him to get close to Bruce, He won't agree to anything.

After a while of silence on the other end of the phone, Dick said in a slightly apologetic tone:

"Sorry Jason, our team has been a little busy recently... I'm sorry about that"

"...Oh, it's okay, I'm hanging up"

Dick can't be free all the time, he also has his own things to be busy with. From the chatter between Bruce and Alfred, Jason knows that the team formed by Dick is going well, and Bruce must be proud of him. Bar.

"...Forget it, I'll go by myself"

It's just a woman, barely speaking, she may be related to her by blood, Robin can't even handle this kind of thing.

Dick stood in the room and looked at the phone that had been hung up in his hand. He squeezed out an ugly smile on his face and said:

"Sorry, little wing, give me some more time, I'm not ready yet, but it won't be long before I can face you calmly"

Jason's progress is really too fast. From Barbara's mouth and the occasional meeting with Bruce with Jason on patrol, Dick knows how fast Jason's progress is, and knows how much Bruce values ​​Jason, and he I was jealous of the other party like a kid but didn't dare to show it, so I could only grow up secretly to ensure that I would not be left far behind by that child one day.

"...give me some time, Jason"
