[Comprehensive British and American] The richest man in the super British world

"It's all your fault, Tibbo," Dick said bitterly. "I hate you."

Damian let out a loud, sarcastic sneer, and the little boy swaggered his way between his brothers, oblivious to the fact that there was no gap between them.

"Get over it," Tim said, "you're the worst, devil bastard."

Although Damian can be said to be indifferent to these titles, he still couldn't help but widen his eyes, condescended to look at Tim, and said in disbelief: "Are you sick, Drake? Grayson said you, you Say me?"

"Little D, keep your voice down." Dick said in a low voice, "You don't want to be caught cleaning the Batcave, do you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the closet was opened from the outside, revealing Alfred's face. The British butler said with a smile, "I'm afraid I have to tell Master Dick the sad news. You have to clean the Batcave."

"Look who brought them here," Damian said.

"Please, Fu," Dick blinked his blue eyes pitifully, and he glanced at his wrist, "in half an hour, our Christmas guests will come, can you not draw me ?”

"You didn't have a watch at all," Tim reminded softly.

"I'm sorry, Master Dick, since you care so much about your appearance, you shouldn't be hiding in the same closet with Master Damian and Master Tim." Alfred smiled decently, but his words were beyond doubt, "This I’m more at ease if I leave the matter to you. Master Damian will re-study all the gadgets in the Batcave, and Master Tim will disappear from the dinner line because of this. In the end, I need to go to the corner of the Batcave to find him who is asleep. So this matter can only be done by you.”

"It sounds like I'm going to despair," Dick said resignedly, "Am I the most reliable one in this family?"

"Of course not, and Master Jason," Alfred said, "Perhaps, you can first confirm whether he will return to the manor?"

"He will," said Dick. "I've invited him."

"That didn't seem to comfort the listener much," Tim said.And Damian rarely agrees with him.

"He'll come," muttered Dick. "Sure, we'll see."

After Alfred heard this, he turned and left in satisfaction.As soon as he left, Tim looked at Dick suspiciously and asked, "Aren't you going to pick up Wade yourself? Come back by yourself, and then just send him an address? With all due respect, it's not like you are 'considerate' style of love."

"...I don't want him to think I'm pressing," Dick explained to his brother, "if I'm waiting downstairs in his car. Wade's character, he'll come. But It's not what I want, it's too weird, it's like I'm the kidnapper, so I'm going to let him decide whether to come or not."

Damian blinked in confusion: "Are you all so weird when you fall in love?"

Dick took a loving look at his younger brother who had just reached his waist and said, "You are too young, inexperienced, and don't understand anything."

Damian: "..."

Go to hell, Grayson!

……

On the other side, the Black Building.Wade buried himself in the sofa like an ostrich.

Jason collected his things, and after he finished everything, he calmly dug his employer out of the sofa: "Roy is gone, he needs to go home for Christmas. I'm fine, where do you want to go?"

Wade looked up at him, then turned on the TV, which was playing music.

Merry Christmas.

Alas, Christmas.

"Why don't you go home?" Wade asked, "Even a masked vigilante has a family, right?"

"Stop pretending," Jason said mercilessly, "Red Robin told me everything. You know who we are, don't you?"

"I..." He still wanted to struggle.

"Don't worry, I won't tell Batman," Jason said, "If you know it, you know it. I can finish you with one hand anyway, as long as you don't go out and shout on the horn: 'I know you tights Who is the pervert!' Then I don't think I will do it. After all, you are our employer. It is rare to see such a person with a lot of money now, and you are a treasure."

Wade: "...I'll just pretend that you care about me and praise me."

He rested his chin on one hand, thought for a moment, and was about to speak.But Jason cut him off: "Don't think about it, or I think I'll laugh."

"Don't you value your identities?" He wanted to ask, "...I thought I would be caught by Batman immediately and interrogated."

Jason really laughed: "Although I was amused by the brutal image of Batman in your heart, I still have to feel sorry for the old guy. So, who do you think of us? Extreme terrorists?"

Wade didn't dare to say that he felt it from reading comics.

Jason suddenly pulled out his pistol, pulled the safety catch, and put it on top of Wade's head: "You actually know my identity, so you go to death, death is all relief, and the life you end because of this will be my victory." Cornerstone."

Wade laughed dryly: "It's a bit exaggerated. Tell me, have you watched Shakespeare recently?"

"I've seen it countless times." Jason put down the pistol, bent down, and put it on the coffee table in the living room. "How is it?"

"It's fun," Wade said.

"Do you really think that no ordinary person knows our identities?" Jason thought for a while, pulled the safety catch of the gun back to its original position, put it back on his side and said, "Even if you wear a mask, it's impossible to fool everyone .”

"So?" He asked humbly.

"Then I'll teach you a good lesson, listen carefully." Jason also sat on the sofa, stretched his body, and tapped his fingers on the back of the sofa, "Even if it's us, pretending to be one for a long time Our identity will also reveal our feet. Do you think we are worried about being discovered by others?"

What he didn't say was that he would even feel tired.Putting on a superhero costume makes you look stronger, but you're not.When you're out of gear, you're just a human being, and you're also tired, exhausted, and lost.Being able to deceive people around you for a long time is also a kind of harm to yourself. Some masks, if you wear them for too long, their weight will increase instead of light.Once, like other Robins, he dreamed of taking over Batman's mantle. At that time, he just felt excited and cool, but he didn't think about the meaning behind it. To become Batman, you have to give up a lot of things.When it did, Dick, Tim and he all found it too heavy.

So even though Damian is annoying, thinking about the future, maybe he will take over the mantle of the Dark Knight, he will be more tolerant of the devil bastard.

Damian should understand the meaning of Batman, which is why he gave up the League of Assassins and followed his father.So his decision seemed even heavier.

"We have never been afraid of being discovered by others, because a superhero is not only a superhero when he is masked. We are not afraid," Jason said, he looked at Wade with a hidden curiosity in his eyes, "The only thing we worry about is that we will hurt the people around us and put them in crisis, this is our hidden identity s reason."

Wade sensed that there was something in his words, so he didn't interrupt, just listened quietly.

never mind.Jason said to himself.I owe you this favor, Dickie Bird.

"Although it sounds disgusting, you are exactly the person Nightwing wants to protect," he paused, and continued, "Do you understand what I mean? So maybe, you know our identities and save us A lot of trouble."

He didn't say such things often, so after Jason finished speaking, he didn't intend to add anything.

Wade was really brooding about what he had revealed to Tim in the trade building last time, and he knew a lot of information.He was afraid that his performance would attract the disgust of the Batman, or Dick's disgust.So he hesitated, wondering if he should go to Gotham with Dick for Christmas.Batman is no better than the birds. Wade thinks he has no strength to hide from him, so he is hesitant about this trip to Gotham.

Now he figured it out.I have no malicious intentions, and the masked vigilantes are not fools who don't know how to adapt, and they will struggle with this repeatedly.His hesitation was meaningless at all, maybe he should learn some "Artemis spirit" - after the red-haired Amazon woman found that the matter had been resolved, she turned around and left without any nonsense.Before leaving, he threw a parchment scroll into Tim's arms and said: Remember, help me find the pearl.The figure then disappeared into the night wind.

……

"Thank you," Wade said after thinking for a while, "so I hope you can go to Gotham with me for Christmas."

"...What?" Jason thought he had misheard, "What are you talking about?"

"As you said, the root of everything superheroes do is for the people around them. Their indifference or prudence is not to push others away, but a kind of self-righteous protection," Wade said. He stared at Jason, who looked away uncomfortably, "You have conflicts with your family, I know, but do they really want this?"

"How come you are preaching to me?" Jason wondered, "Should I praise you for applying what you have learned?"

He didn't expect this situation, although he created it by himself and dug a hole for himself.

"You're a good teacher," Wade said, "and I think you can understand that yourself."

"Then I'm overly flattered." Jason said, "Please recite Article [-] of the "One Hundred Agreements Between Employers and Employed Parties."

"Obviously there are only three."

"The rest is that I forgot to say."

"Are you ready to publish?"

"Thinking about it." Jason yelled at him, "Quick back now."

"...Third, you are not allowed to inquire about privacy."

"So please obey the rules immediately, Mr. Black."

Wade was amused instead: "Is there any penalty for breaking the contract? Losing money? I can afford it. So I can talk to you a lot, come with me to Gotham for Christmas."

"No." He refused.He doesn't want to go back.

"I'm sorry, but you still have to go to Gotham with me," Wade coughed, pretending to be serious, "because you're my bodyguard. I'm timid and easily scared, and I feel anxious when I go to a strange environment And you, Red Hood, are gutsy, fearless, and a Gotham native, so you need to fulfill your bodyguard duties and go to Gotham with me, it’s a matter of credibility.”

Jason: "..."

He should have beaten Roy to death from the start, not taking this list.
