Anti-Hero Lola [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

It would actually be a bit boring if things went exactly according to plan.

Of course, Jason would think so, and he didn't mean to complain that he was doing things too smoothly.Don't be kidding, just such a small achievement, what is "too smooth"?He hasn't encountered setbacks and failures, has he?

It's just that he hasn't encountered any setbacks that he can't overcome at all, let alone a failure that will make him crippled.

From this point of view, Jason thinks his luck is still very good.

Now that he has escaped from the state full of anger and hatred when he just woke up, it feels great to regain his sanity. Compared with everything he felt before, it is really uncomfortable. For a while, before his eyes The whole world is bleak.

No, not only is it bleak, the world is red and bloody.

The sequelae of dying and coming back to life is that once you die once, it is difficult to look at everything with the eyes you had before you died.

Moreover, the taste in his mouth after being resurrected from the dead is very bad. Every day when he wakes up, Jason always feels that there will be a mixture of mud and half-dried blood in his mouth. There will also be an indescribable damp and putrid smell.

For a long time, this strange delusion tormented his nerves together with the pain of those bones broken by the crowbar.

In any case, Jason has to admit that his strange temper and wanton killings when he first came to Gotham are related to these hallucinations.

Until now he hadn't figured out what to do with the Robin who came after him—no, Red Robin.

Most of what he and Barbara said was true, but there were a few things he didn't mean, like a lie about the Red Robin.

- What a joke!

——How could he not hate Red Robin!

What else does he not care too much about Red Robin, what he doesn't care about how many people become "Robin" after him...Jason kind of understands that after learning that he, Jason Todd, became Robin After Bin, Grayson was in the same mood when he came to threaten and warn him overnight.

But after knowing it, in fact, it is inevitable that you will be a little bit less interested.

Lola talked to him too much, and he thought too much during that time, and sometimes the hardest thing is admitting a fact that you've tried so hard to avoid.

such as--

"Dick's temper is better than yours. He is lively, gentle when he should be gentle, and good-natured."

"Dick was more obedient than you when he was an assistant."

"The most important quality of being an assistant is to obey orders, but you always don't obey orders."

"It's all said to treat people equally, but who can really treat people equally? Everyone likes the better one."

"Dick is the better one."

"It's not that you are inferior, but Dick is worse than you. You hate each other, and you are very aware of this fact, right? Dick thinks you don't deserve the name 'Robin' at all. , and you, because you always hate him less than Dick."

"I went to play at Bruce's! That's funny, Dick is everyone's favorite. I'm a little curious about how good he is."

……

The truth is, Dick is just better than Jason.

In fact, Laura also said a lot, telling him that Dick was not necessarily better than him, and what she said was not purely comforting, she really thought so.

"You shouldn't be comparing yourself to Dick," Lola said. "Why do you define 'good' and 'bad' by Dick's standards? You're not the same kind of person as he is. You can't survive in Crime Lane. As for obedience, the most commendable quality for an assistant is obedience, but for a leader, 'obedience' is no different from insulting him by pointing his nose. "

She gently pushed him down on the bed, asked him to lie on his back, and then lay beside him, kissing his forehead and the bridge of his nose idly, a little affectionately, and a little mockingly.

"Maybe you'd be better off if you hadn't been picked up by the bat," she said. "The bat is a control freak, and you... you're not the type to follow orders, even if you follow them in the first place for a number of reasons." If someone else ordered you to do it, you can’t stick to it.”

Her consolation was sincere.And quite effective.

Although when Jason tried to imagine if he hadn't stolen the bat's tire that day, hadn't been picked up by the bat, hadn't been Robin... Whenever he tried to imagine, the future he could imagine was blank.

What followed was Lola's tearful kiss.

She had never talked to him, she had never spoken to or met his eyes when he was awake.She can always precisely avoid the time periods when he regains his sanity, like there is a switch on him that she can see clearly.

But she knew him so well, even better than Jason knew himself.

Jason never thought through what to do with Red Robin.

Rationally speaking, he is of course very aware of Red Robin's innocence, and he is also very clear that it is very childish to transfer the grievances between him and the bat to Red Robin, but emotion and reason are two different things. When he appeared in front of him, Jason found that his hands were really itchy.

The thing he wanted to do the most after meeting Red Robin was to beat Red Robin hard!

Not to mention that this kid just bumped into his hand on his own initiative!

It was simply sent to the door to be beaten!

Seeing that Red Robin just jumped out the door without looking back, Red Hood was not in a hurry.He slowly opened the window, looked down twice, and then leaned on the window sill with one hand, and jumped down——

Red Robin rolled aside in embarrassment.

He huddled in the corner, looking vigilantly at the red hood that was slowly approaching his direction, and nervously thinking about how to escape... Every escape direction was blocked, as for fighting the red hood ?Even Red Robin knows that he has no chance of winning without using his hands. Red Hood's skills are difficult to deal with even the bats have praised him!

But... didn't the bat recognize who the Red Hood really was?

This doubt flashed in Red Robin's mind, and he suddenly realized this doubt that he had ignored all this time.

If the Red Hood is really who Barbara is implying, will the Bat really know nothing about it?

"Excellent, boy, can you still be distracted at this time?" Red Hood's playful voice pulled Red Robin back from his thoughts, "It seems that you are very confident in your skills."

"Stop going on." Red Robin blurted out at a critical moment, "I know who you are!"

Red Hood paused.

But Red Robin didn't feel threatened. On the contrary, if the previous red hood gave him the feeling of lazily teasing a small animal that strayed into its territory, the current red hood is a lion whose territory has been invaded—he stood In the same place, no longer approaching, not speaking, but the sense of danger is stronger than before.

Red Robin vaguely felt that he had said something wrong, but it was impossible for him to swallow what he said so far, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to persuade: "I know who you are, you are the previous Robin. Bin-"

"The last Robin is dead," said Red Hood, his voice flat. "Don't you know, Red Robin?"

Red Robin said, "But now you're standing in front of me, so although I don't know what's going on with you..."

"Of course you can't know what happened to me." Red Hood said, he snorted coldly, and then launched an attack without warning!

Laura is dreaming.

She didn't know that she was dreaming, and the things in the dream were also very vague, and she couldn't see any clear images, just a lot of emotions.

However, these emotions are very vivid, the kind of vividness where you open a bottle of iced drink, drink it in one gulp, and then feel the refreshing coolness - just listening to the description can clearly feel this feeling vivid.

It's the kind of vividness that you must have experienced, and although you don't necessarily even remember the specific event, you must remember a certain emotion.

Originally, Laura should have thought about a lot of things.

This kind of time is most suitable for some complicated moods and blank monologues, just like when any truth is revealed, all the people involved in this situation will come on stage and detail what they have done. The logical chain of all is perfect, no one will be redundant, and no one will be streamlined.

But it doesn't have to be.

There is no need to do this.

It is not necessary to make everything clear. It is not a good thing to see things too clearly—any idea that is too absolute is not a good thing.

A lot must have happened before and after her birth, and her birth must have been different from what she had imagined.

But even between the wrong beginnings and the wrong endings, there are good times.

Why is it that after Laura woke up, even though she kept saying that she wanted to find her parents, her first reaction was never her mother, but her father?

...Because she can feel certain emotions.

Luo told her that in order to revive her brain, Rebecca had a certain resonance between her consciousness and hers. Perhaps in this mysterious resonance, some memories and emotions could be shared.
