[Comprehensive British and American] Flying around the sun

Barbara Gordon walked into Wayne Manor and found Dick "playing" on the lawn with a blonde beauty: Dick was doing all kinds of exaggerated dodging and jumping movements with his twin sticks, while the beauty was just using her hands Pretend to be waving two guns at him, and use your lips to simulate the shooting sound of "biubiu".

She kind of rolled her eyes (at Dick instead of the lovely girl), but walked over and said hello to them: "Hey Dick. Is Bruce there? I'll drop him some stuff."

The beauty turned her head before Dick stepped forward, and she opened her emerald eyes to Barbara.By the time Dick said "Hi, Barbara," the blond girl had let out a low cry of joy and ran towards Barbara.

"Barba! Dick calls you Bubba—are you Barbara? Batgirl? I've wanted to meet you for a long time, you're cuter than I thought—" Her eyes were even in the drowsy Gotham sky Glittering too, showing eight teeth in a smile, "Almost forgot. I'm Audrey, Audrey Lewis."

"Ah, you are an angry girl!" Barbara said with some surprise, "My God, you are not what I imagined... So are you training? Air bullets or something?"

"Maybe it's training for Dick? I'm just playing while Bruce is away." Audrey snickered twice, leaning into her ear and said, "I'm afraid Bruce won't be free for a while—he just ordered it to be closed." Batcave."

"Well, it's not in a hurry anyway." Barbara shrugged and said, "I can ask Alfred to pass it on. By the way, your earrings are so cute, Audrey."

"Really?" Audrey happily took Barbara's arm, and they walked into the house together, looking like two high school cheerleading sisters, "I wore it all day, and no one has ever worn it until now." Ask! I like your hair, Barbara."

Dick picked up his short stick, looked up and found that his sweetheart had been abducted by Audrey: ...

"Hahahahahaha, I changed my nail polish, and it took Dick a month to ask me why the top and bottom nails were different colors." Barbara shared her hatred, "Sometimes you can't count on boys, can you? What are the earrings made of? They look like some kind of mineral."

"It's a fragment of a meteorite that fell on the moon, and Clark gave it to me." Audrey pressed the pair of black earrings with her fingers, and turned her head so that Barbara could see it better. "I want to, too." A pair for you—would you like it?"

"Really?" Barbara happily agreed, and they sat down together. Barbara handed the information to Afu, and they shared the same plate of small biscuits.Dick walked into the living room, but soon he said that he had something to do, and disappeared quickly for some reason-it didn't take long for Barbara to start whispering to Audrey: "I heard you and Superman are in a relationship --how do you feel?"

"Not bad." Audrey said pretending to be reserved, but she couldn't stop laughing for a second, her face was a little red, "Well, I like him very, very much."

"Ah...it sounds so sweet." Barbara said teasingly with a rising voice, "I don't know when I can have this experience."

"Really?" It was Audrey's turn to answer her in a teasing tone this time, "Then when will you agree to Dick's pursuit?"

"W-what?" Barbara stammered, her face quickly turned red, "Where did you hear the rumor? Dick never pursued me—"

"Of course he said it himself." Audrey said with a breathy smile, "I guess he hasn't worked up the courage to ask you on a date yet. But I think it's obvious, isn't it?"

"Some things cannot be said directly, Audrey!" Barbara covered her face and said, her ears also turned red.Audrey tilted her head to look at her, and laughed: "But you are smiling, and you look very happy—why can't you just speak up? Maybe it will make things better sometimes."

Batman went into the Batcave.There was an obvious noise from the corner, he paused, and walked straight in that direction.

He saw Red Hood sitting sprawled on the bed, tugging at the bandages around his wrists.His bare upper body was covered with a criss-cross of dull scars, some of which looked horrifying.Batman's eyes flicked from above, and he said in a low voice: "You will open the wound."

"What does that have to do with you?" Red Hood's voice was instantly tainted with violent emotions, "Mr. Batman who dare not show his true colors?"

Batman stared at him intently.Just when the Red Hood thought he was going to start lecturing or pressing him about his experiences, Batman reached up and took off his mask.

"Jason." Bruce Wayne said in his low, tired voice, wearing Batman's armor, "I knew it was you."

The movements of Red Hood's hands froze.In fact, since he recovered his memory from the frenzy and confusion, in every late night of wiping his scars and brewing his revenge plan, he imagined countless scenarios of revealing the truth to Batman.Those scenes are full of doubt, confrontation and the pain of tearing wounds, but none of them are like this, the dark knight stripped his impenetrable defenses, and exposed the part of a fragile human being in front of him.

Bruce looked older than he remembered.His eyes were more tired than that time, the lines between his brows were deeper, and a few white hairs had appeared on his forehead.His steel blue eyes just stared at him like that, filled with complex emotions he couldn't read.

"I don't know what you're talking about," said Red Hood indifferently.

"We both know what I'm talking about," Bruce replied in a low voice, "You're back from the dead."

"Oh, maybe so, what a trivial matter!" Red Hood said sarcastically, "Robin, who was abandoned by you, climbed out of the grave and became a criminal with a heart full of vengeance and a bloody hand. Guess Batman must be having a hard time. What's next? Should I be sent to Arkham or to Blackgate? Although I think you might think I'd be better off dead than alive, you'd do it for Did I break your no-kill policy? After all, none of the clowns who took me away from you got this honor!"

The more he talked, the more excited he was, the bandages on his arms spread out in circles, revealing the bleeding wound inside.He can't wait to jump up and fight with Batman now, and then leave this place full of various memories, and then realize his revenge in blood and flames—this damn shackles!

Bruce listened to his roar in silence.Then, without a word, he bent down and hugged him tightly.

"Fuck!" Red Hood said, trying to break free automatically.But he had already missed the good opportunity to punch under the shock, and the gas restraint that surrounded him strangely took advantage of the opportunity to exert force, and Bruce's firm hug was not easily shaken by an injured person—in short, he still Caught tightly in Bruce's arms, Batman's breastplate was cold against his collarbone.

He heard Bruce's voice trembling slightly in his ear: "No...I'm glad you're back, Jason...There's nothing that makes me happier than this."

The red hood had no expression on his face, he felt his heart beating wildly again and again, endless pain and resentment set off a tsunami of destruction in his chest, and transmitted the pain to his throat.

"You're lying," he said hoarsely.

"No," Bruce said, pushing his arm harder but carefully avoiding his injured ribs, "I'm really sorry I couldn't save you then. I'll never forgive myself...even if you It's the same when you come back."

"Really? That doesn't matter," said Red Hood. "If—if you weren't lying, why did you allow the Joker to live?"

"I'd love to answer you on the same principles as I always do. But I'm going to be honest today, Jason. I actually did—I wanted to kill him at one point. And I almost killed him..." Bruce whispered , "I even wanted to kill all—every—super criminal. There was a moment when I almost did that. But Superman stopped me, and it dawned on me that I couldn't do that."

"I don't understand." Red Hood's voice trembled. "I—don't—understand! Let me go!"

Worried that he'd open the wound, Bruce let him go, but his hand was still on Red Hood's shoulder.He continued to speak slowly, firmly and clearly in a low and hoarse voice, and those words entered Red Hood's ears word by word: "I can't, Jason. I already have too much darkness and hatred in my heart." ...Your death almost destroyed me. The moment I had the killing intent, I almost became a monster. I will destroy the existing order and bring Gotham into a bottomless abyss , because the darkness in my heart is enough to completely break the bottom line... I can't kill him, Jason."

"Why are you telling me this? Why? Want me to understand the reason why you don't avenge me? Want me to change my ways from now on?" Red Hood's hands were trembling, and his voice was distorted due to over-excitement.He tore the hood off his head and threw it.

Jason Todd showed a face that was so different from Bruce's memory.

"No, Jason." Bruce said slowly, lowering his eyes, "I just want you to know...I love you all the way. I love you more than any child...you are my dearest Excellent Robin."

"Why on earth are you saying that?" Jason raised his head, not letting his eyes turn red from the intense emotion, "What are you trying to achieve with such provocative words? Fuck. How shameless!"

"I just learned some... important qualities from certain people." Bruce leaned over and hugged him gently again, "Although there are still many problems to be solved, she said that the most important thing is to confess your heart So... I want to tell you, I hope you can go home, I hope you still see me as a father, I hope you can practice justice without too drastic means, I hope you won't go astray... But I won't force you, Jason. You're the greatest blessing to me that you're alive."

"Do you want to listen to what you are saying?" Jason's face was pressed against Batman's cold breastplate, and he didn't notice that there was some kind of venting in his voice, "I will never Forgive me, I know what I'm doing—”

"That's fine, Jason, that's fine," Bruce whispered, "I just don't want you to hurt yourself... I think we can eventually come to a compromise on some issues. But until then... would you like to Going home? I, we, have missed you so much."

"Did Qi Girl secretly inhale some kind of mental gas on you?——I know she's the 'someone' you're talking about!" Jason gritted his teeth and said, he was confused by Bruce's too frank expression.If the person in front of him was not too familiar, he would have been completely unable to match this person with the taciturn Batman image in his memory, and even reasonably suspected that it was someone like Clayface in disguise—but he was wearing a bat Bruce Wayne of the Hero Armor, this alone can rule out other options, "Why on earth are you doing this? How can I deserve so much nonsense from you?"

"I'm telling the truth," Bruce said, "because she told me that if I don't show my feelings, I'll never be able to really communicate effectively. I think she's right to a certain extent."

"FxxkBatman!" Jason cursed.

……

The dinner table at Wayne Manor was extremely lively that night, although Audrey slipped back to the room because of the pressure in her eyes when she was halfway through eating—she had never missed her date with Clark in the Metropolis so much.

Her phone screen flickered on and off.

The author has something to say:

It's been a long time since I wanted to chat with you all.

I seldom wrote novels before, and only tried some short and medium ones, which is why some scene transitions in the early stage were very fragmented.The long novel conceived before flying around the sun is the historical text of this starting point (...) without any emotional lines.Flying around the sun is indeed a new beginning for me.At the beginning, I didn’t even think that anyone would read it, and it was even more unexpected that the application signed without hope was approved. I have to say that everyone who is reading this article supports me to get to where I am now :D

I secretly remember every little angel who is often active in the comment area, and often visit Jinjiang frequently to check if there are any new comments. For me, someone watching this matter is my source of motivation!So if it’s not troublesome, I hope you can interact with me more in the coming days, thank you very much.
