batman and red hood

Dick was woken up by thunder, and there seemed to be a lot of thunderstorms in Gotham this year.Thanks to the fact that he didn’t sleep until last night or early this morning, Dick’s head is now full of mud. He tried to open his eyes and glanced at the dim light from the heavy curtains. He turned over and turned himself His head was buried under the quilt again, intending to ignore the damn thunder and continue to sleep.

Another thunder almost exploded by the window of Dick's room, finally waking Dick up from his sleep.

Turned up from the bed, walked to the window, watching the heavy rain outside, Dick curled his lips involuntarily.

Although Gotham is a rainy city, it is indeed in the rainy season of Gotham now, which is completely different from the metropolis across the bay, which always has a gloomy sky.

But this year's rain is so much that it is a bit abnormal, especially in the past two days, thunderstorms are almost a must-have program every day.

Watching the rain bored for a while, Dick finally got Cui into the kitchen by his stomach, filled a bowl full of oatmeal, poured hot milk on it, and left with the bowl of "breakfast" Go to the living room and watch TV while eating.

There was too much rain, no matter which station Dick switched to, he couldn't get rid of it, and the heavy rain caused traffic jams, or the sewer pipes were blocked and sewage overflowed.

While Dick was manually changing the channel in boredom, he was thinking about whether the informant he found last night was reliable...

【...Bruce Wayne's adopted son...】

The shrill female voice on the TV pronounced the familiar name and familiar words and inserted them into Dick's thinking brain. Dick stopped stuffing cereal into his mouth, picked up the remote control and turned up the volume as much as possible.

Dick was very familiar with the background shown on the TV screen, which was the main entrance of Wayne Building.

"Jason? What's wrong?"

There are only two people who can be called the adopted son of Bruce. Although Jason has not been officially registered in the law, this does not prevent the public from acquiescing that he is the adopted son of Bruce Wayne. Since he is here intact at the moment, then Only Jason.

After Dick turned up the volume, he quietly listened to the woman in the picture reporting the earth-shattering news:

[According to news, Jason Todd, the second adopted son of Bruce Wayne, was kidnapped by the escaped clown in the Middle East yesterday, and was involved in the battle between the clown and Batman and was killed in the bombing. Currently, Wayne Enterprises has not responded to this. As the news happens, we will always pay attention to the progress of the incident, here is Hillary Foreman reporting for you]

Dick was blown up by the female reporter's words in the picture and stood up from the sofa. He didn't notice that the bowl full of cereal fell to the ground and scattered everywhere.

"...Cheat...a lie"

Dick hurriedly found his mobile phone, but found that it was turned off. He hurriedly turned on the mobile phone, and before it calmed down, the phone made a piercing ringtone when he connected it.

Dick saw that the interface was an incoming call from Barbara. After connecting, Barbara's anxious voice came from the receiver:

"Dick, you answered the phone. I contacted you all morning. The phone was turned off and the communicator had no signal. Have you read the news? That's not true, right?"

Dick looked at the crowded entrance of Wayne Enterprises on the TV screen, frowned and returned:

"Barbara, I'll call you later"

After hanging up Barbara's phone call, Dick casually put on a suit of clothes, and rode his motorcycle towards Wayne Manor.

When he arrived near the gate of Wayne Manor, Dick stopped, looked at the crowd at the gate of the manor, which was not inferior to the gate of Wayne Enterprises, frowned, and finally turned around and rode towards the nearest Batcave passage.

As soon as he entered the cave, Dick didn't even have time to stop the motorcycle and threw it on the ground at will, so he hurriedly ran towards the elevator.When approaching the elevator, something broke Dick's pretended calm.

In the corner next to the computer, there is a newly erected cylindrical glass cover, inside which is placed the red uniform that Dick is so familiar with, and its dilapidation at the moment speaks for itself.

"Oh...no, that's not true"

Dick quickly ran into the elevator like crazy. The high-speed elevator, which was originally counted in seconds, made Dick feel like a century had passed.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Dick immediately ran towards Bruce's study, where he knew he must be.

Pushing open the door, there was silence in the study room. The man he was looking for was sitting in the chair he usually sat on, with his back to Dick quietly. This appearance broke Dick's hope that he would only hear the news of Jason's serious injury.

"……Why…."

The trembling vocal cords couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"Jason went to find his mother, and his mother teamed up with the clown"

The man's voice was calm and unwavering, and he simply told the reason of the matter in an emotionless tone.

It took a little effort for Dick to control his vocal cords, and then asked:

"how about you?"

"...I couldn't make it in time"

It’s only a little bit short. A little bit faster is enough for the bat fighter. When he found Jason, he was still breathing very weakly. The explosion was the cause of his death. As long as he was faster, he could rescue Jason before the explosion .

"I mean where were you before that? You sent him to the Middle East by himself?"

Bruce has never been a good parent. Dick has already realized this, but no matter how unreliable he is, he will never let an underage person go abroad by himself. Jason just passed his 15th birthday. how long.

"....I'm in Metropolis"

"...with Clark?"

ha?With Superman and say no rush?Superman can reach any corner of the world within a second, but Bruce said he didn't have time? ?

"Bruce, I know you are a very suspicious person. You can always find a hundred reasons to doubt Clark. Even if you are a good pair of tacit understanding in the eyes of everyone, you will still deny it. But I didn't expect that you still refused to ask him for help because it was a matter of Jason's life and death? Bruce, your arrogance killed Jason!"

A fist that didn't stop at all hit Dick hard on the cheek, knocking him to the ground and preventing him from continuing.

Dick sat on the floor in a daze for a while, then wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared fiercely at the burly man in front of him.

"Hmph! It hasn't changed at all. As long as someone hits the mark, you will fight back like a cat whose tail has been stepped on. You are such a brat, Bruce!"

"Then let me see if you have grown to the point where you can call yourself a man"

Dick let out a growl, leaped from the ground and threw himself on Bruce, and the two men fought like two wounded beasts.

No weapons, no skills, just a competition of strength and endurance, the two of them fought from one end of the room to the other, completely disregarding the expensive antique furniture in the house.

When Alfred and Barbara walked into the room, they were stunned by the nearly ruined room in front of them.

"Oh my God"

"Stop beating what are you doing?!"

Barbara seized the opportunity to intervene between the two people who were fighting each other in the ruins, and stopped this purely venting brawl.

"Get out of Barbara, I have to let this old guy know today that even Superman can't always rely on himself to solve problems"

Dick yelled at Barbara.

"Enough is enough, what are you doing? Jason won't be happy seeing you like this!"

Barbara already knew the outline of the matter from Alfred, and she was also very sad about Jason's death, but this kind of venting beating couldn't solve anything.

Hearing what Barbara said, Dick stared fiercely at the man sitting on the floor for a long time before leaving angrily.

"I'm going to see him"

Barbara greeted Alfred and followed Dick, leaving only Alfred and Bruce in the room.

"...Don't say anything, Fu"

"...if it makes you feel better..."

Barbara followed Dick into his room, looked at the decadent man sitting on the bed between the boy and the man, thought for a while and said:

"Well, Dick, Bruce didn't feel well either...Jason's death..."

"Barbara"

Dick interrupted Barbara and said in that low, decadent, lifeless voice:

"Jason called me a few days ago and asked if I was free to go somewhere with him. At that time, he wanted to meet that woman, but what about me? What am I doing? I'm afraid of being caught by Jason Denied his request over what to do... sorry Barbara for leaving me alone for a while"

Barbara looked at Dick's lowered head, and finally exited Dick's room. Perhaps it was herself that Dick couldn't forgive Jason's death.

【Red suits you very well, red hair, hot tempered, wearing red clothes, are you planning to change your name to Red Robin? 】

[Red Robin, sounds very good, I decided to use this title when I was flying solo]

[Flying solo?Aren't you going to inherit Bruce's Batman title? 】

【Bruce has not retired yet. I will inherit it after he retires. I won’t give it to you】

【I don't want it, okay】

【Really not?Batman]

【No, I have my own code name】

[I know you want to inherit the code name of Superman, but don't think about it, you don't have super powers and you can't fly]

【I don't want to, I'm Ye Yi】

【Well... you can do whatever you want, but I will be the next Batman】

【You are happy, but the kid told you that name is not a good thing, it is simply a curse】

【It's useless for you to scare me, I'm not afraid】

……

"...fuck his boring pride..."

Dick cursed under his breath and whispered...
