Bruce's commitment was based on Jason's safety.

In other words, if Jason is safe, Elaine is safe.Even if Batman doesn't kill people, it doesn't mean that Elaine is brave enough to want to live in Arkham.

Ah Fu treated the wound and was ready to wash his hands.Seeing that the two were still in such a stalemate, he said, "Stay here for dinner?"

Elaine agreed.

She is just so cheeky.

Jason stood there, wondering about the atmosphere between the two of them.

"Tell me the way." Bruce didn't even want to ask, but directly used the command tone.

Elaine's goal has been achieved, and she no longer hides it: "Lazarus Pool."

Bruce got it.He blamed himself for being too impatient, he didn't know how to think for himself before agreeing to Elaine's conditions.But since it's done, forget it.

He decided to ask someone from the League of Assassins later.

He didn't want to get entangled with people from the League of Assassins, even if the other party actually had high hopes for him.But the relationship is always awkward, and I don't like their style.

He wanted to help Jason go to the restaurant, but Jason avoided it and continued to walk towards Elaine, standing behind Elaine.

Elaine had no choice but to hold his hand again, motioning for Bruce to lead the way.

Bruce and her looked at each other, didn't say anything, just turned his head to cover his expression.

Elaine guessed he was a little sad.

The dining room of Bruce Manor's restaurant is very deserted, or the whole manor is very deserted.The extra-long dining table says that there are three people sitting alone, but usually there may be only two people or Bruce alone.

This is probably why Bruce prefers to settle three meals in the Batcave alone in the later stage.

"We may need to buy more tableware, master." A Fu put the plate in front of several people, "I have a hunch that there will definitely not be enough in the future."

Elaine realized that Ah Fu's words were true, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

—Probably mocking Batman for having no friends.

Ah Fu's craftsmanship is surprisingly good. As an Englishman, his food attainments can easily surpass many others.And he will not refuse to continue to learn, he will improve in many places.

It's just that his master is not up-to-date, leaving nowhere for his good cooking skills to be displayed.

"Afu, your cooking is so delicious - can I call you Afu?" Elaine couldn't help but praise while eating the roast chicken he served.

"Of course." Ah Fu was still smiling, and reached out with a tissue to help Jason, who was devouring, wipe off the sauce from his mouth.

"Master Jason now reminds me of the first time he came to Wayne House, and he looked like this." He said, looking at Bruce who was eating the food on the plate, "Do you remember, master?"

Bruce looked up at Jason who was eating like a little beggar.

"remember."

He remembered everything about picking Jason up from the road.His unruly character, his dirty little face, and the bravery to unload his tires.

And the day he thought he'd lost Jason.

He still remembers Huoshaoyun that day.

He put Jason's body in the coffin and stored his battle suit in the cabinet to remind himself of all this.

Now that he was lost and recovered, as well as Jason's sequelae, he didn't know whether it was sadness or joy.

Jason seemed to feel that they were talking about him, so he looked at them and felt that he didn't understand anything, so he continued to eat.

Elaine has mixed feelings.

"Everything will be fine," she said.

【mission completed】

The dry system prompt surprised Elaine, but she recovered quickly.

These four short words meant that she could take advantage of the loophole and make her mission a success.So, "Saving Jason Todd" just needs to let Jason go to the fate of being picked up by Thalia, or the fate of becoming a red hood?

"What's wrong?" Bruce's keen observation allowed him to see something wrong with Elaine's expression for a moment.

"I just remembered something suddenly." Elaine said vaguely.

"That's good." Bruce put down the knife and fork, and leaned slightly, "Maybe you can talk to me about why you know so much after you're full?"

"For example, how did you know the identity of Batman and Ah Fu's name?"

Debts owed in the past always have to be repaid.

Dick Grayson's complaint and Bruce's previous character card have said a lot.

"I can't tell you for the time being." Elaine thought for a while, and found that she didn't know what to say, "But one day I will figure out what I want to figure out, and I will take the initiative to tell you."

"You know everything about me, you have to give me some information about you on an equal footing." Bruce persisted.

Elaine was silent.

Because she thought Bruce was right.

"My superpowers are fluid, but one constant is that I can rewind for a limited number of times." She explained, "It is to return to a previous point in time with the memory and start again."

"Is this ability driven by you subjectively?" Bruce, as expected of Bruce, quickly asked the point.

"No." Elaine said, "It is automatically rolled back after I die once. And the number of times that some events can be rolled back is different."

Bruce mused.He seemed to accept this ability quickly and started thinking about the practicality of this ability and things like that.

"How many times have you backfiled so far?"

"Uh..." Elaine thought about it for a while, "It should be more than a dozen times?" She spent about ten times on her first copy in Midtown High School.

If she really asked her to give an exact number, she really couldn't answer it.

Elaine heard Ah Fu sigh.

Bruce didn't speak.

"I don't remember much, I feel like I'm used to it." Elaine added.She really didn't like other people feeling bad for her.

Jason seemed to be full and stared blankly at the few people.

Elaine realizes it's time to go.

She wiped her mouth, put away the knife and fork, and thanked them, "Thank you for the dinner, I should go back. I have to go to school tomorrow."

It is already 1:[-] in the morning.

Dinner is only at this point, which is worthy of being Batman in the underworld.

Elaine hadn't expected the quest to go so quickly—but maybe if she did pick Jason up, the required events wouldn't be so short.

As soon as she stood up and left her seat, she felt her clothes being grabbed.

Looking back, it was Jason.

"This is your home, you have to stay here, okay?" Elaine advised him, and wanted him to let go of his hand.

Jason was reluctant.

Now Elaine clearly heard Bruce's sigh.

He got up too, trying to take Jason away.As soon as his hand touched Jason's other hand, Jason opened it violently.

The sound of "Pa--" made Elaine's heart tremble.

She's never been as embarrassed as she is today.

Ah Fu also came, but was also avoided by Jason - but he didn't hit him.

It seemed that Jason didn't like Bruce very much.

"What... what to do?" Elaine asked for help.

Afu simply said: "Would you mind spending the night at Wayne's house tonight? We have enough rooms, and I think Master Wayne will send you to school tomorrow."

"Not so good..." Elaine glanced at Jason with firm eyes, and then at Bruce who was frozen there.

Bruce said lightly: "Let him get acquainted. You stay here first."

Elaine didn't expect him to agree.She didn't want to imagine herself living in Wayne House at all. She wanted to refuse, but it seemed that she had no other choice but to bring Jason back to her small room.

She said yes.And sent a message to Steve in the middle of the night.

She guessed that Steve was already asleep.

[I'm staying overnight at a friend's house tonight, so I don't need to pick me up tomorrow:)] Finally, Steve came back.

[Okay, be safe. 】

Steve probably couldn't type, so he sent a voice message.

Elaine guessed that he might have been woken up by the notification sound, and felt a little guilty for a moment.

"Boyfriend?" Ah Fu heard the voice and asked casually.

"No, it's the designated guardian." Elaine replied.

Ah Fu frowned.Did not understand.

Elaine guessed it was because she didn't look like a minor.

"The actual age of my household registration is 18, but in fact this is my real body." She said, "SHIELD gave me a bonus, and it turned out that I have no parents."

Alfred understands.Probably because he's done at least two adoption deals for Bruce.

Jason was still tugging at his clothes, but Elaine simply held his hand because he was not leaving anyway.

The teens are taller than her and actually have a comical sense of humor every time they hold hands and hide behind Elaine.

But I believe this state will not last long.

Ah Fu arranged a good bedroom for her and let Elaine take a good rest.Jason, on the other hand, lay on the carpet beside the bed.

Ah Fu brought Jason a quilt and put the pillows.

And Bruce on the other side, his work has just begun.

He found Thalia's phone number and called her.

"We need to talk," he said over the phone, his voice cold and emotionless.

"Exactly, I also have something to tell you." Talia's words made Bruce frowned.

"time and location."

"In 20 minutes, the tower."

The Tower is where Bruce often looks down on Gotham.

He didn't know why Thalia had chosen this place this time.

But soon, Bruce saw a black shadow passing by, and the light of the blade was shining.

He raised his hand and blocked the blow.

Thalia took a step back and put the tiny dagger back in her weapon pouch like it was just a simple hello.

"Talk about what?"

"I need Lazarus to use it." Bruce didn't mince words.Because he knew that Thalia was so happy, there must be something to trade with him.

"Why?" Thalia asked.

"Do you need to know?" Bruce asked back, "What do you want?"

Talia was silent for a while, then said, "My father is dying."

Bruce didn't answer.

"You really can't be his successor?" Thalia was still brooding over the matter, "Father really values ​​you."

"I can't," Bruce retorted. "If that's what you want to talk to me about, then we have nothing to talk about."

Only then did Thalia sigh and tell her reason, "I need you to take care of someone. Only if you promise me can I lend you Lazarus."

"Who?"

"Your son, Damian."
