A retired magician raises a bucket daily

The rich man that Zatanna said, Reed met today.

When the Gotham baby was wearing a neat and exquisite suit and standing stiffly in front of his hospital bed, Reed grabbed Jason's sleeve at the side.

"Am I still in a dream?" He asked Jason in a low voice. The medicine Zatana gave him made him excessively sleepy, which also led to a consequence. Recently, he sometimes couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality.

"No, uh...it's true, he, uh, he's on a business trip and stopped by to see you..." Jason actually didn't expect Bruce Wayne to appear here, although he mentioned Tom was talking about it the other day, but he was just kidding, after all - that's Bruce Wayne, that Batman, how could he leave Gotham So many things came to the UK?

It's really here? !

"...Business trip?" Reed was taken aback for a moment. Does a person with the status of Bruce Wayne still need to go on a business trip?

"It's great to see that you are still so energetic." Bruce smiled at Reed. After putting on the suit, he consciously changed into the identity of the Gotham baby, showing that kind of formula habitually. The smiles that appeared in major newspapers and videos.

Of course, Reid doesn't think Bruce is perfunctory himself. People in their family are more or less not good at expressing kindness to others (except for the golden boy), and it is difficult to put on a mask to deal with themselves. The state of understanding is the optimal solution.

He shouldn't be used to my identity yet, right?Reed guessed that the son's boyfriend or something... It's not that it's unacceptable. The Wayne family seems to be very open to the emotional state of the children. After all, Bruce Wayne is a perennial relationship with various celebrities, The model was rumored to be a Playboy.But this is the first time meeting your son's boyfriend like this?Because he and Bruce have a lot of bad relationships. When he and his son were on the first date, they happened to sit at the next table. When they met Batman, they threatened that the other party’s son was his own child. Ladies and Bruce danced for most of the night... Looking back on it this way, it seems that they are all terrible memories. Reed sat on the bed, his fingers were so embarrassed that he almost tore the bed apart.

"Thanks to Jason being here." He also showed a formulaic smile.

He understood that as long as he pretended that everyone didn't know each other well, he wouldn't remember those bad memories.

With a smile on his face, Reed was packing up and merging the memories in his mind and throwing them away.

"I'm here today to meet your father." Bruce sat on the sofa chair in the ward, with his hands folded in front of him, looking calm.

"Ah... my father..." Reed blinked blankly, and suddenly stuttered, "but he, me and him...we don't have a very good relationship good."

"Words say they're looking for you now," Bruce said to Reed. "I think that no matter what, unnecessary things should stop."

Reid paused for a few seconds before slowly saying: "...The world of magicians is very complicated, and universal morality and ethics have no binding force on them."

"I know," Bruce nodded, "but the Magic Association is also managed by the British government, right? I happen to have some contacts here."

Reed: "..."

Bruce smiled lightly, and his eyes shifted a little, "If you don't cherish important people, you will always have to pay the price."

"......thanks."

"You don't need to thank me," Bruce stood up and straightened his suit. "Even if it's a marriage, you have to discuss it with the other party's elders."

"Wait, what—marriage?" Reed suddenly felt his neck was a little stiff, and his mind was blanked by Bruce Wayne's words.

I might actually still be dreaming.

Bruce glanced at the door of the ward. Jason was standing behind the transparent glass. A few minutes ago, he asked Jason to avoid it and gave the two of them a chance to talk alone.

"I'm a failed father, Jason, he will be in a bad mood for a long time to see me," Bruce smiled wryly, "I used to push him, he became more and more depressed, and he became more and more depressed. The more extreme... At that time, I really thought about locking him in Arkham before he really embarked on the path of crime..."

"He won't." Reed said that no matter what choices Jason made, he could never become a real 'villain'.

"...Yeah," Bruce bent his eyes, as if letting go of a heavy boulder on his chest, he lowered his head and said to Reed, "Jason will trouble you."

Bruce raised his hand, and under Reed's puzzled gaze, he gently placed his hand on his head and rubbed it, "Leave your affairs to me—even if it's a father like me... ...wanted to do something for him too."

"What were you guys talking about just now? Why are you in a daze?" Jason snapped his fingers in front of Reed, and said amusedly, "It's time to get back to your senses, Miss."

"I just now," Reed met Jason's gaze, and said a little embarrassedly, "I almost called 'Daddy' to Mr. Wayne just now."

Jason:?

"What the hell did you say?"

"Hmm... life event?"

Jason:? ? ?

Seeing that Reid didn't say anything, Jason stopped exploring. He pulled the chair over and sat down by the bed, picked up the apples on the fruit plate and peeled them with a knife.

"I can't eat apples anymore, really." Reed shrinks back. Recently, Jason and Weber don't know why, as if they are competing with each other, peeling apples every day, and comparing the peeling of the apple after peeling Longer and thinner, the current score is 6:5, Weber is 6, and Jason is 5. From the score, it can be seen how many apples Reed has eaten in the past few days.Jason couldn't believe that he had been playing with a knife since he was less than ten years old, and his knife skills were no match for a magician, so he never missed the daily practice of peeling apples.

"Half of that person." Jason concentrated on cutting the last knife, lifted the spiral peel and looked at it, then said 'yeah', took out his phone, took a photo and sent it to Weber, "This time we must I won."

"If you go on like this, Weber will come over to peel my apples again after get off work tomorrow." Reed sighed, not knowing what the point of such a childish game was, even though the two of them had played various games at home before. Pointless childish game.

"Then what's the matter? It would be nice if it was more lively," Jason grinned, and cut the apple in half and handed it to Reed. "Oh, by the way, I haven't bought you a mobile phone yet."

They said before that they would buy a new mobile phone after returning to Gotham, but due to health reasons, they have been staying in the UK for almost a week. Recently, Reed used Jason’s mobile phone whenever he needed it. Thanks to him, Dick was finally freed from Jason's blacklist.

A new phone.Reed thought for a while, and was a little frustrated. There were still many important things in the previous cell phone, including some work matters. If he changed to another cell phone, he would have to do it all over again. If possible, he still wanted to get it back.

"Isn't the old bat going to Tranbelio?" Jason said, "I'll go with him, and then I'll ask if you still have your phone?"

"......If you get it back, don't turn it on to watch it." Reid warned with a frown.

"why?"

"There's no reason, don't look at it, just don't look at it."

With that said, Jason became even more curious.

Perhaps because of his relationship with the government, Jason went to Tranbelio in a luxury business car this time, and everything went smoothly. He didn't even need the family crest to go in and out, and was greeted by the other party .Facts have proved that money really can do whatever they want.

Jason adjusted his shoulders. He hadn't worn a suit for a long time, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while. He didn't expect Bruce to come to negotiate directly without covering up his identity.

Magdaniel Tramberio is a man who looks very enthusiastic and cheerful. It is said that he is in his fifties, but he has a strong body, muscular body, and looks very tough.

"Ahahaha, Mr. Wayne, I have known you for a long time. You are a famous person. I have heard about you even in England." Before sitting down, Marg Daniel reached out and shook Bruce's hand.The maid brought hot black tea. He unbuttoned his suit, sat on the sofa and asked, "I heard that you know the whereabouts of my child. Can you tell me? He is not in good health. I have been away for so long. Really worried about him."

Jason let out a sneer from the bottom of his heart, and held up his teacup to cover the corner of his mouth.Sure enough, he hated this man.

"I'm here to talk about it." Bruce said unhurriedly, "A few days ago my son rescued a young man somewhere in the UK. He said his name was 'Reed' .”

"Yes, that's right, it is the child I am proud of." Marg Daniel said.

"Reed was dying, and we had a hard time getting him out of the way—may I ask, as far as I know, you're all magicians, aren't you?"

"...Yes, Reed is also an excellent magician."

"That's really... The doctor who saved him said that he no longer has any magic circuits, and he probably won't be able to use magic anymore."

"...Whether this matter is true or not, it's better for us to check it ourselves." MagDaniel held back her smile, "Where is he?"

"Unfortunately," Bruce shrugged, "Reed said he never wants to have anything to do with you again."

"Mr. Wayne, is this our family's business?"

"Just the other day, Reed and my son fell in love—"

"Cough—" Jason choked on the black tea.

Bruce glanced at him, and continued to ramble, "——is engaged."

"Cough, cough cough..." Jason turned his head and coughed frantically.

"......" Magdaniel was only shocked for a few seconds, and soon he put on his face, "Even so, I am his father, the owner of Tranbelio, you An ordinary man—”

Bruce took out a stack of documents from his bag, and placed them in front of the other party one by one, "Illegal imprisonment, torture, and intentional murder."

Some of the information was sorted out by Weber, extracted from the fragments of the broken Philosopher's Stone, Magdaniel's own magic remnants, and some truths about Reed's mother's death a long time ago.

Bruce chuckled and said to the man in front of him: "Although you are magicians and powerful, the laws of ordinary people may not be able to control you, but spreading these things...isn't it nice ?”

"......What do you want?"

The negotiation between Bruce and Magdaniel was coming to an end. Jason suddenly remembered to help Reed find his phone. He looked up and saw the man who was 1 meters tall. Jason felt that he and this person should seen.

"Excuse me, can you give me back my boyfriend's cell phone?" Jason smiled at him, the smile didn't reach his eyes, and his tone was cold.

Hardley looked at Jason, then turned to look at Margo Daniel. The other party's expression was not very good now, as if the hypocritical mask had been torn off, which formed a sharp contrast with Bruce's ease. .Magdaniel waved her hands irritably, meaning to leave them alone.Hardley pursed his lips and said to Jason with great reluctance, "Please wait a moment."

He turned and walked to a certain room.

When he was about to leave, Jason looked back at the gorgeous mansion from the car window, only feeling that it was like an iron barrier, some dirty and decayed things grew in it, the longer it grew, the more crooked it became, and the bright and beautiful In the middle is the ugliness that ordinary people can't imagine.

fine.Jason breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the cushion, and the car drove away from the claustrophobic forest.

Fortunately, he picked Reed out.

The phone ran out of battery after a few days. Jason took out the power bank and the data cable to charge it. No matter what, he still had to check whether the other party left some small things in the phone. Yes, he doesn't want to be disturbed again in his future life.

The cold phone was plugged in and finally lit up.In the car, Bruce didn't talk to him, he was typing on the keyboard to deal with the Wayne Group's affairs. After all, Tim and Connor ran out for vacation, and Dick was helping him patrol. Bruce Wayne would not let himself 12 His [-]-year-old son is now taking over the business of the company, so all those miscellaneous things fall into his hands again.

Jason stared down at the lit icon on the phone, stared blankly for a while, and managed to warm up the cold phone on the back.

Although he said he wouldn't let me see...but he was still very curious.Jason thought.

The lock screen of the phone jumped into Jason's eyes. In the dim car, the warm light made his eyes warmer.

"What..." Jason pinched his phone in a daze, and laughed.

Bruce gave him a strange look, and Jason held up his phone, blocking his silly smiling face.

That photo was taken at dusk, the black-haired young man was lying on the sofa and sleeping with his cat in his arms, and Reed squatted beside him, leaning towards his cheek and dropping a secret kiss that he didn't notice.
