The feasibility of working the night shift in Gotham

He first saw her on the night known as the Blackest Night, and she grabbed his hand that broke through the ground and led him out of the darkness.

"Surprisingly, I've never seen you in such a situation." She circled around him, and the black veil ran across his legs exposed under the Robin uniform, making his skin itchy slightly.

"What's the situation?" He blurted out as he patted the dust off Robin's clothes, looked around and shrugged and sneered, "The scene of the zombie parade? Mylady. Hasn't the movie told you more?"

"I don't watch movies while I'm at work, but I might consider giving it a try after get off work."

"Then your job sounds boring, you should probably consider a new boss." Then he looked up and met her bright, smiling eyes.He almost hesitated and immediately regretted his actions. I messed up again. He rubbed his face with his hands and hesitated to say something to redeem.

Fortunately, she didn't say anything about it, but it made him distressed, and he wanted to take up the topic without having nothing to say to her.

"You've got great talent—everything." Her eyes slid to him again, and he could feel her playful gaze resting on his uniform.

Damn the green scale shorts, he knew almost instantly, oh god, Bruce, he prayed in his heart, don't let Dick design the uniform again, he doesn't want the next kid who replaces his uniform to wear this look A uniform that would allow Batman to be captured by the GCPD.

He seemed to hear her chuckle, and then her gaze fell behind him, "Mr. Todd."

"Just call me Jason." He couldn't wait to answer, "May I be lucky enough to know your name?"

"Okay, Jason. I'm Anyang, and everyone I know here calls me Ann. I hope I didn't offend you by what I just did. Obviously you can see that I don't know the rules here."

He was delighted at her acceptance, chewing her name in his mind, and continued probing, "Are you new here? Gotham doesn't often come to new people. In fact, standing in front of you is someone who knows this place better than you." Guy, I can show you around if you want."

"No other meaning... After all, Gotham is always full of danger."

He spread his hands pretending to be relaxed, hoping that she would not be disgusted by his sudden behavior, after all he really has no experience in dealing with girls, even though the last girl he liked fooled him.

Her laughter slid to his ears again, taking the annoying image of Rose out of his mind.

"Thank you for your invitation, but we have more important things to do."

She explained the situation to him, and her identity surprised him for a moment, "You are the only person I found tonight who was forcibly resurrected who still maintains himself. You are a god of death." Talent, Jason."

She handed him a lantern. "Follow me, and we will lead these souls back into the land of sleep."

what about me?He wants to ask, will I also return to the so-called sleeping place again?He can't stop staring at her every movement, the scent she gave off when she tilted her head to gather her long hair, the way she looked at him, the unique accent she had when she spoke.

But soon he forgot about it, he saw Bruce, he saw Dick, and he couldn't stop laughing at their unbelievable faces as if they were kicked by Penguin.

Under the lantern emitting warm red light, he led the lost people back to where they should go.He finally remembered this question when there was a slight light in the sky. He wanted to find her figure in the bursts of sleepy consciousness. He was close at hand. Where the interaction comes from.

"I'll find you again."

But when he woke up again, the green pool of water in front of him had already submerged him, and the whisper of death was swimming in every blood vessel of him, not her brisk and bright voice, those voices almost devoured his thoughts and emotions every night. Reason crucified him and burned him.

The only ones who could keep him going until the end of the night were them, his father's hand, everything they'd fought for, and her final promise.

Thalia succeeded, and he knew she had put the newspaper section in front of him on purpose.He didn't want Thalia to get his way, but his uncontrollable rage reached new heights, and he smashed everything in the house like a madman and sat gasping in the rubble.

"Bruce—Batman!" he growled.

I was convinced that I was a fearless victim of our lofty cause!

but what have you done!

I never resent you for not saving me, I forgive you!Because that was my own fault, I listened to slander, my stupidity and impulsiveness brought me to my death and not you.

you are my father!My leader!I trust you so much.

But you keep the clown alive!After he's killed your assistant, your son, keep him at ease, it's easier to get in and out of Arkham Asylum than Wayne Manor.

You also couldn't wait to find a new Robin after I died, which is not unforgivable, I can accept it.He never thought, Jason Todd never thought, that he would wear this suit for the rest of his life, he was self-aware, he just never realized that he could be replaced so easily.

So easy, it's like it never happened.

Then what is my death?

How much he wanted to rush forward and grab Batman by the collar to question, but he watched the Batmobile drive out of the dark alley, but he didn't even have the courage to press the /start/explode/gun.

He'd never really get his hands on Bruce Wayne, his father.

It was at this moment that he finally realized that my death was meaningless and that everything I had done was meaningless to this city. The overflow gradually turned into a low sob.

When he stands on the highest point of the clock tower overlooking this beautiful but corrupt city, he will have to admit that the road he is about to choose, the road of justice, will only be walked by him alone.

"You are not alone."

"I've been looking for you and your soul is gone."

Whispering whispers and floating scents surrounded him, and the delicate skin rubbed against his cheeks.

Her arms around him, her shoulders under his, his lips against the softness of her neck, were so real, her presence made him feel alive again.

The dead make the living feel alive, ironically.

But let him indulge in it, let him hate himself.

He hated himself, obviously they were by each other's side, but he couldn't respond to her and possess her at this moment.

"I can feel you, your soul is like a morning star in the night, I can't take my eyes off you, but now I can see the stars and specks on it... You have so many ideas that I never knew before, I don't know what will What will be the consequences."

"People change, mylady, you should stay away from me. I'm not evil, but I'm not good either. Exploding flares can hurt the sun too."

"You don't know what you can do, Jason. I chose you, myhero. But...you don't seem determined, Jason. But if you want, I will stick to it."

"You know where to find me."

She respected his choice, making him almost want to regret it at this moment.But he couldn't, there was more time later.Now, he has what he has to do, to shut her up deep inside, to cleanse him of his weakness, to hone himself, and then to carve Gotham the carrion that Bruce can't because of his weakness.

He's going to put all his attention on making Gotham better, making her better.She doesn't have to know what he's going to do, she just needs to know that he's going to be strong enough for them to survive in the city.

"I'm good at waiting for anything I'm willing to wait, but please don't make me wait too long." Her final kiss slid across his lips, and she slipped away from him again.

"Otherwise I will leave you."

He swore to his Nyx almost immediately, ignoring the final reminders in her words and the 'bad habits' he'd learned from Bruce.

For a long time, a period of time that can be called happiness, although there were breaks and separations in the process, their home changed from the safe house to the iceberg restaurant to the ruins of the collapsed underground subway, Roy He and Corianta were undeniably good teammates, and he regretted their departure, but they were always together, she kept her promise, and he didn't feel alone, and as for his family, the Bat-family, he was used to being law-abiding Outsiders also get used to being outsiders.

It wasn't until Bruce's first death shattered the mask so badly that they had to move underground, because Batman always has his own cave.

"I don't want you to do this, he didn't die, Jason, I didn't receive his soul, we still have hope, we still have a solution to all this, you don't need to do this, and Gotham doesn't need such a solution .”

There were tears in her bright black eyes that he couldn't ignore, and he didn't want her to cry and scar her beautiful exterior, but he had important things to do - Gotham had been dragged back into the mud.

Bruce Wayne is dead, but Batman isn't dead.

"Gotham needs it, mylove. I know it better than anyone else. I am his apprentice, I am Gotham's savior, and I will make Batman never die." He put the gun back on his waist, raised his hand and rubbed her gently side face, gave her a tossing kiss.She was his sun, his night, and now she is his catwoman.

"Don't go."

Pushing her out of her arms was one of the hardest things he'd ever done, but he turned and left to join him on the battlefield, Penguin and Two-Face, Black Mask or the Arkham patients unleashed by Black Mask, and All of Gotham will feel the fear of him -- of Batman again.

"I know what you're doing, you're hurting - you need to stop."

"We can get out of here and leave everything behind, just you and me."

She put her head on his lap and held his hand, her face more tired than ever.

He ran his fingers through her dry black hair, which should have been as silky and beautiful as satin. It is true that this war has made everyone tired, and he attributed her abnormality to worrying about him.

"I'm here and never leave, Gotham is our home, I can handle it all."

"But you're right, beauty. We need help, I need help." He leaned up and lifted her cheek, licking her closed eyes and the teardrops on her face, "like Batman needs Robin .”

Dick was the first and loyal, Damian may not be the last but he is blood, so he set his sights on Tim Drake, they had exchanges, they also wandered on the fringes of the family However, Tim is accepted by the family, but he is looking forward to whether Damian's arrival will change this situation.

Tim was the bright boy, and he had no doubts that he would follow the clues he left to find him.

"You're better than you were last time, kid." He punched Tim to the ground, watching him gasp on the ground, "but your set is as old as Bruce, you've been washed by him/ Come on, sooner or later you will be finished like him."

"You look more brainwashed/brainwashed than I am," Tim taunted. "Your brain has been deranged. Jason, you hide in Bruce's shadow, and the fear makes you unwilling to face it." The truth is, you're like a kid who's crazy about your dead father, you steal clothes that don't belong to you because you think you can be him that way. But you are you!"

"Open your eyes, Jason! You have gone too far on this road! Now we can redeem it later!"

Jason sighed and poked the Batarang into his chest at Tim's stunned gaze. He didn't want to kill him but he was tired of their saintly rhetoric. He never needed help. He could catch Live everything he needs.

He firmly believes that action is more effective than nonsense, he only hopes that Dick will consider his words, he does not want to kill the once golden boy, as for Damian, God bless the kid did not die under his gun.

But he didn't expect Dick to come so soon, and she led him into their cave.

"What are you doing! You put on your shell just to let him come and kill me." He couldn't believe her betrayal of him.

"Nobody's going to kill you, Jason." Dick wiped the blood off his face and took a step forward. "Tell me where Tim is, we're going to fix this."

"Shut up, Grayson! No one's talking to you!" He stepped over Dick and hugged her. "I know his routine all too well, what he says to girls, to people who think they are wrong If so, he bewitched you."

"Nobody tricked me, Jason! I know what I'm doing." She shook her head at him, breaking his sanity. "Stop it, come back to me before you destroy yourself before it's too late."

He pushed her away and confronted her, "You told me I wasn't alone, you told me you could kill the clown for me. Now you're on the fucking good side, so what are you still doing with me Come see my joke? To hear Bruce say I'm his biggest failure?"

"I can, I can kill him now, I hate him because he killed you! If it weren't for Batman he would be dead. But you know, I want to kill him because I love you, so I go Do!"

"I never stop your actions because part of me thinks you are right and criminals deserve what they deserve. But open your eyes now! Look at what you have done, so many people, every day I Take them away before you kill them. You can kill them, Penguin, Riddler, Two-Face, we can even kill the Joker right now, but you can't just because someone is one of them Kill them. You're going too far in bringing order instead of more death."

"Take off your mask and let me see your face. During this period of time, I won't recognize who you are." She covered his face with trembling hands, and begged him, "I don't care bro Tan, all I ever wanted was your love. The love of the boy who kept peeking at me the first time we met. The red hood in me who didn't want to make this city better. Stop working hard and travel thousands of miles for his teammates."

"I know you are kind in your heart, let's get out of here before this gets out of hand, and we can start over."

He slapped her hand away for the first time, tired of her words, "Love can't save everything, it can't save this city, but I can, I'll be Batman and end it all! You and everyone in this city can live here."

"Bat, bat, fuck his bat, you're all crazy!" she murmured, her chest heaving violently, if he didn't know that she would have died long ago, he would suspect that she was about to die soon, because she Seemingly out of breath, she blindly and involuntarily took a trembling step backwards, so that she almost fell to the ground, he reflexively wanted to help her, but she also pushed him away.

"Jason, if you don't end this, I will."

Her closed palms opened, and there was the detonator that he should have hidden in his waist. He never doubted her ability.

"Stop!" Dick yelled, "She's going to die, Jason, stop her!"

"Shut up, Grayson! I found you because you're John's son, and you promised me you could help him, but you actually want to send him to a psychiatric hospital!" She glared at Dick, raised her hand In an instant, an unknown wind made Dick fall out, "The cloak will blind you sooner or later!"

Her angry eyes shifted to him, then softened and became sad, she slowly shook her head and closed her eyes, and when she opened them again she was full of determination, he thought he knew what she was going to do, they were finished.

"I still love you, you know where to find me, but now..."

She pressed the detonator and let the flames consume her body in the explosion, and he was shot down by Dick and let himself fall into the sea.

He has the confidence to pull her into his arms again, and he can recover the loss once, but what if it is forever?

----

cry.

stop crying.

How long has it been since he heard this sentence, he can feel the warmth from her skin, he was defeated by her almost instantly - voluntarily defeated by her.

How long has it been since he felt that she threw herself into his arms so passionately, not the one in front of him, but his one.

He lost it all.

"Do you want to know?" He heard his own voice say, and he pulled the other woman away from him and pointed at the opposite group of people and began to sneer.

"Dick, he's dead. He's the number one in the family. You were the first to die." He pointed at Dick.

"I didn't expect that," Dick replied.

"There are so many things you can't think of, Dicky head. But don't be too proud, I was the first in this family to die."

"Do you know who killed you?" Every time he recalled this 'dramatic' scene, he couldn't stop laughing, he pointed to Damian, "The little devil killed you, beat you from behind with a stick To the back of your head, you fell on a rock and died. He joined the Kryptonian bastards and he blew up Gotham."

His finger pointed to Tim who was closest to him and Anyang, "Tim, Xiaohong, I told you a long time ago that you had to join me, but you dismissed me and thought we were different, now you want to Lucky me, you're another bat maniac, you killed Damian, you killed Batwoman and you almost killed me again, and then you copied the old way of the imp and blew up Gotham with your electronic brother eyes .”

"Then you crazy boy plan to go back in time and change everything and kill them all over again, no idea, bro. I'll go back before you."

"And then there's you, Bruce, I guess you don't know most of the people in this room." Seeing Batman's tense expression, he laughed again. "Because you were with me just now—it wasn't me, whatever. We're always into punching each other, and I kidnapped that son of a bitch, the clown, and let you pick one of us, and you'll be fine if you pick him. "

"Jason, that's enough, don't open the scars." He felt the woman beside him, she held his hand, and begged him, "Stop saying I shouldn't have forced you, it's my fault."

"It's not your part yet, baby." He pressed his hand on her shoulder until she stopped making a sound under his gaze.

He let go of Anyang's hand, focused on Batman again and moved towards him.

"I told you a long time ago that you must kill the clown, but you never listened to me and insisted on letting him blow up Metropolis and Louise." He shook his head regretfully, "It's a pity that he died at the hands of Superman No chance was left for me."

"God, did I digress?" He spread his hands and looked at Batman again, "Do you know why my eyes and my legs disappear?"

"Because of you, Bruce. Because of you, don't look at me like that. That's the truth."

"Full of lies, Todd." Damian stood in front of Batman, "I won't show mercy to you who look like a jerk just because of you in this world."

"I almost forgot about you, my loyal and lovely Robin Hound." He squatted in front of Damian, "Does it feel good to pick out my eyes?"

"You're not lying, you're crazy."

"You're not the most favored one, there's me, Dick, Tim, but it's me who comes out most, I'm almost touched, that Bruce really loves me, how many times does he have to kill himself to make that more than me."

"You're hopeless, Todd," Damian asserted, taking a few steps back.

"You're right. Batman became the new Joker, Superman wants to rule the world every day. Iron Man sells/virus/virus, Captain America joins Hydra. I can't stay in that shit world for a second."

He just wanted to be alone somewhere in peace, and someday fall into the arms of death again.

----

I should have realized that from the time he said he didn't care about himself at all, his bright blue eyes dimmed, his steely soul was crushed, he no longer had the idea of ​​being alive.

"It's the wall of origin, right?" I walked towards him and took his hand, making him look at me, "The wall was broken, it's Dr. Hurt or the Old Ones."

Bitterness crawled up his cheeks, "I knew it, I'll never hide it from you, but I don't know the Old One you're talking about."

"We'll discuss those stories in a moment."

"After Bruce was teleported away by Darkseid's ray and everyone thought he was dead, Gotham was a mess and we were infighting and everyone got hurt in this stupid war. You and I— — We broke up temporarily. I drifted with the waters of Gotham Bay and changed a few boats to the Himalayas. Just went back to Gotham."

"A year or so later, Metropolis is destroyed in the Joker's nuclear bomb, Bruce and Superman's first 5-year battle, we are back at each other's side, the first war ends when Superman is locked up by Bruce , but within a year, Superman was released."

"It's Batman turned into the Joker."

"He came from the dark universe behind the wall, we called him the Laughing Bat. He made everything out of control."

"You're trembling, don't be afraid, he can't hurt you now." I put my hand on his cheek trying to comfort him, watching him look into my one-eyed, dimming eyes, he wasn't afraid of the Laughing Bat because of himself— Because of me, I think I understand his hesitancy.

I stretched out my hand to signal him to lower his head to approach me, and while the pityful kiss fell on his cheek, he let out a questioning nasal cavity, his eyes fixed on me, until he could no longer resist my magic power and fell asleep on me.

"Go to sleep, you're so tired. I'm not going anywhere, and I promise you'll see me when you wake up."

"Dick, can't you just look at us like a dumb bird? His prosthetic leg makes him heavier, you think your sweet friend is paralyzed by him?" I said to Dick, and turned my eyes Move over to Tim.

"I know." He understood immediately.

"I remember that Bruce has information about Thor's prosthetic eye, don't install any extra things." I warned him with a smile, handed the sleeping Todd to Dick, and then looked at Da, who didn't care on the outside but was already in high spirits. Mian.

"go to sleep."

"I totally disagree with your arrangement, Nefertiti."

"Sleep by yourself or I'll help you, just like him."

"Fine!" Damian angrily got on the elevator.

I patted my skirt, walked over to the silent otherworldly Batman, and nodded to him.

"Bruce, let's talk."

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Your yangzi unleashes the classic talk skill on you.

Originally, this bucket wanted to write about a bucket that I only met Yoko during the Red Hood period, but the comments gave me a good inspiration.

So the current barrel is the barrel of loneliness + injustice + if line. If the two of you in this article are in simple mode, then the if line is hell mode (probably?) It should be okay, but it’s just a wild laugh (?) Old domination is not here yet

If two people say that they are sadistic and deeply in love, it is not enough. What Yoko met was the barrel after death. She does not know more about the "father's kindness, son's filial piety" and "suffering hatred" of the Bat family like the main world Yoko. Deep', if Yangzi has always had him alone in her eyes, so the if bucket of the cloak battle seems to her to have entered a certain obsession, making If Yang feel that everyone, including her, seems to be crazy, Fight over a dress.

[However, after watching the cloak battle, I really feel that the barrel inside is a bit extreme. The whole Bat family is a little on the verge of losing control because of the bat uniform (personal opinions are welcome to exchange, and you can point out if there is something wrong)]

And the if barrel is not the same as the barrel of this article. This article is more biased towards n52 and the reborn anti-hero. In addition, in this article, he has a good relationship with the family. The if barrel is more like the original book. The timeline is still under the red hood, so it's just like the ones at home.So this is why this article is a simple mode, if is a hell mode, and the two people on the if line were not mature at the time and felt a little bit carried away.

In fact, the if line is also quite sweet (? Run away from the pot) After all, the two fell in love at first sight.

In addition, Laughing Robin, one of them was confirmed to be Rice, and the other identities are unknown. It is speculated on the Internet that it is the barrel brother that Master Laughing took from other parallel worlds, because it is speculated that the second-generation Robin of Master Laughing also died because of the clown (but Laughing killed the barrel and the whole family

The descriptions of Baiteman and several other people in this article are all necessary for the article, and there is no intention to blacken anyone.
