After leaving room for Bruce and Jason to talk, Caroline flashes back to Stark Tower.In this designated public leisure area, Iron Man and Captain America are waiting for her.

"Congratulations on your safe return. We're still discussing whether Bruce will detain you." Tony squinted and smiled at Steve, "The captain is very worried."

Steve, who was suddenly cueed, didn't react for a moment, and hurriedly explained with a bit of embarrassment: "Xiao Ka,? Don't listen to his nonsense. I was just thinking that maybe you will stay at home in Gotham for one night."

Tony didn't let him go, and continued to reveal his short story: "I'll be relieved when I meet someone,? Who looked at the phone three times in one minute just now?"

"What are you talking about..." Steve didn't want to admit that he had been waiting for a message from Caroline, "I was just watching the news."

But Captain America really doesn't lie.His eyes are erratic, his eyes dodge, and he lacks confidence when he speaks.

Caroline didn't mind Steve's attention to her,? She thought it was normal—Steve's social circle was so small, who else could he care about if he didn't care about her.

Moreover, she has always been used to and enjoys the feeling of being needed by others.

"I experimented with the animal transformation bracelet for my family, and we discussed this invention after dinner, so I came back a little later than expected."

Caroline briefly explained the reason for her late return, and then apologized to Steve: "It's my fault,? If this happens next time,? I will tell you in time. Let you I'm worried."

"It's okay,? You don't have to think about me." Steve answered.

Tony next to him: ...

If you can hide the smile on your lips when you say this, it's barely persuasive.

As long as he doesn't speak for a second, the two can completely ignore him.Just like now,? He stands here as a big living person, while Steve and Caroline happily discuss the animal transformation bracelet, and the little girl is still shaking the old Popsicle's arm coquettishly, making him change again Once a brown bear, she likes this kind of plush very much, it is super comfortable to hold.

Enough is enough!Why don't you just cuddle that bear and sleep!

Isn't the owl he transformed into handsome enough?Can he still fly? That stupid bear will only hold up its paws to take selfies with her, and roll into a limp ball with her, what's so fun about it!

**

Another sunny day.

Caroline was on the phone with Jason, and the second brother obviously had a lot of resentment towards her.Ever since he said that at Wayne's that day, Bruce hadn't looked at him right.

Even if he tried to explain, in his heart he only regarded Caroline as a family member, but Bruce asked back, "If you are not my child, then what kind of family are you and her?"

Jason was speechless, he couldn't stand the atmosphere, especially when he saw the joy in Bruce's eyes.

This kind of recognition made him very uncomfortable, and he actually felt a little dark in his heart, which really made Jason even more difficult to face.

If he still longs to return to his family, what's the point of him being the Red Hood, just to get angry with Batman?That's too childish.

Caroline comforted him on the phone: "Brother, I don't think you can be blamed for this. You know, because of Lazarus, some of the devil's will remains in your body, which will affect your thinking. So you Some of the more extreme things I have done in the past, now I feel wrong when I go back and look at them.”

"You mean I was not clear-headed before?" Jason was very depressed on the other end of the phone, "Don't you agree with the old bat's style? I thought you would understand me."

Their communication equipment has been specially encrypted by Bruce, so they are unscrupulous in the process of calling, and they don't have to worry about revealing important information and being monitored by others.

"I don't agree with his principle of not killing people no matter what the situation is, and it doesn't affect that he is my father and I am his daughter." Caroline remained fully rational about this, "There is a saying on earth called [seeking common ground while reserving differences], you should listen to it. Let's go."

"So you want me to pretend that nothing happened, and go back to him and continue to be Robin?" Jason snorted, "There is no shortage of people around him, but there is no place for me. And you are his own daughter, Of course he treats you differently."

Caroline could smell the sour smell through the screen.

This

It was a good start, she had successfully made Jason realize that he still cared about his family.As long as there is this basic disk, it will be a matter of time before he and Bruce settle down.

If it didn't work, she burned the ice with a fire.

"You are wrong to blame your father. He treats each of us the same. If he had to choose one of his favorites, it would only be you, brother."

"In order to prevent me from killing the clown, he took the risk of turning against me and injected anesthetic into my body. Do you know how much this incident hit me? He asked me to review the time when I was kidnapped again. That kind of aggrieved, he destroyed the trust between us, how could I not guard against a person who would sneak up on me."

"And you are the Red Hood, Batman has thousands of ways to hit you. Even if he couldn't do anything to you before, now that I have me, I haven't seen him ask me to tie you home. He treats us The constraints are so strict, but he has always indulged in you, and the one he favors the most is you."

There was silence on the phone.It took a long time before Jason spoke.

"He only gave you anesthesia for emergency. It's not as serious as you said."

Caroline chuckled: "Look at what you said, do you believe it yourself? Father doesn't think about the consequences when he does things?"

Jason had nothing to say again, Bruce wanted to consider all possible branch events when making any decision, he would not be "on the spur of the moment".

"So that's why you moved out?" Jason asked her. "He made you angry by hurting you to save the clown's life?"

"I did feel bad about it, but it wasn't the main reason I left the house."

Caroline patiently analyzed her own mental journey to him: "Loss of trust can be re-cultivated, but some problems cannot be solved with hard work. Our ideas conflict, and he forces me to follow his ideas. I accept this. No. In that case, I will leave."

Jason sighed: "Why are you doing this? The matter between me and the old bat is a mess. Don't get involved."

Caroline moved to New York, and it wasn't just Bruce who was upset.In Jason's heart, he still hoped that Caroline could stay at Wayne's house forever.

She should continue to enjoy the love of her father and brothers, and be a carefree little princess forever.

"As I said just now, this is the problem of my different views from his. Even if it's not because of the clown, it will be because of other things." Caroline said again, "You don't need to blame yourself for this."

"Then again, your situation is different from mine. You were raised by Batman, so there shouldn't be such a contradiction between me and my father."

"Brother, father, he cares about you, he really cares about you. I just said so much just to tell you that he is that kind of person, even if his behavior doesn't satisfy you, he can't erase his love for you."

Jason didn't answer, and Caroline continued: "Could it be that my father gave me an anesthetic, so he doesn't love me? That's not the case, he just didn't handle it well, and used a way that made it difficult for others to accept. No matter To you, or to me."

"He didn't kill the clown, it's not that he doesn't love us, it's just that he has his own principles. Even if we don't understand or accept it, at least we can't deny his love."

Jason on the other side of the phone let out a long sigh and didn't speak for a long time.

Caroline left him room to think, quietly waiting for him to think about it.

After a long time, he said, "Do you really think so?"

How can you be so calm, so rational, and analyze things so thoroughly?

"Xiao Ka, do you love Bruce?"

Caroline was in a trance for a moment.

She didn't expect to be turned against by Jason. She should have answered this question smoothly.Bruce is her father, of course there is a father-daughter relationship between them, how could she not love Bruce?

As she described Bruce loving them, an expression without difficulty.

Jason continued: "I always feel that you are on the sidelines. Even if you are talking about yourself, your tone does not fluctuate."

"You said that the anesthetic thing made you angry, but I really... can't feel your emotions. You left very calmly, and you even made an appointment to go home for dinner every week, giving people the illusion that nothing happened . But that’s not the case.”

Caroline squeezed the hand on the phone

Ji: "You think too much, I'm just better at controlling emotions. Isn't it better for me to make an agreement with my father? Only in this way can we protect our father-daughter relationship."

"This is really an enviable ability." Jason couldn't help but complain to himself, "I know what you said makes sense, but I really, really don't know what to do. I always question him, why on earth should he That to me. About him... the fact that he loves me, I always deny."

"If I were as calm as you, nothing like that would happen."

Caroline responded perfunctorily, and Jason was not interested in continuing the conversation. He expressed that he would digest today's call carefully.

It's already embarrassing in front of Bruce anyway.At least it seems that because Caroline is so troubled to make peace, he also wants to try to calm himself down and rethink the relationship with the old bat.

After the phone was hung up, Caroline slowly put down the phone.She was still thinking about the question she hadn't answered Jason.

Does she love Bruce?

She's actually not sure if it's her emotional management ability that keeps her sane, or if she just doesn't care that much.If her younger brother Ferrell dared to do this, she might sever her sister-brother relationship with him in a fit of anger.

It was natural for Caroline to use herself as an example to appease Jason.She knew what Jason cared about most, so she hit the point right from the start."Bruce loved each of his children," she said.

She doesn't have to care about the authenticity of this sentence, she only knows that saying this sentence can achieve her goal the fastest.What's more, Bruce loves Jason very much, there is no doubt about it.Even Jason himself couldn't object.

But does "every child" really include her who hasn't been with her for more than ten years?

she does not know.

The author has something to say: I really changed the content of this chapter... I hope it is still passable.

There are really few comments recently, is it because everyone is not interested (tears).
