[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

Roy Harper, formerly known as "Quick" as Arrow's sidekick, once formed the Teen Titans with Dick.Jason once briefly acted with the Titans when he was Robin, but the relationship between Jason and Dick was not very good at that time, which made Jason's position in the Titans quite awkward.

Almost every time Jason and the Titans had an argument, Dick would side with his old friends, and vice versa.After a few times, Jason simply gave up on joining the group, which meant "I'm not happy with you, and I'm annoyed by you too".The atmosphere is so awkward that eventually Dick has to pack him up and send him back to Gotham for Bruce.

Looking back now, Jason didn't give the Titans much chance to get to know him back then.

Yes, Dick may have complained in front of his friends about Bruce finding a new Robin, and as Dick's friends, they couldn't immediately get along with "the kid who replaced Robin". normal.

Jason understood now—it wasn't a good feeling when he found out he'd been replaced.If Damian not only didn't stand by him, but started calling Tim brothers and sisters right away...Jason would definitely arrest that brat and spank him for treason!

However, understanding does not mean that he can erase the sarcastic remarks of other young heroes during that time, how innocent he was back then.So Jason has avoided meeting Dick's old friends since his resurrection, let alone actively inquiring about the status of the Titans. He doesn't need a group of people who don't know him well to express how happy they are about his resurrection.

As far as he knows, there is no such thing as him in the room commemorating the deceased Titans in the Titan Tower. He's crazy, no matter how short he has been in the team, he was once a Titan after all. .

He has always been in this mood until he saw on the news that an armed regime in the Middle East had captured an American and planned to execute him, and that international human rights organizations were active in planning to use public opinion pressure to force the US government to negotiate with the country to rescue the citizens. Connect the wryly smiling redhead in the photo with "Roy Harper".

No wonder I haven't heard Dick mention Harper for a long time. It turns out that this guy has gone overseas to do things.But judging by the content of this report, Harper may really lose his life this time.

"Strange, why didn't Green Arrow move?" Jason muttered and continued to search for news. He remembered whether Harper was Green Arrow's adopted son or a ward. It didn't make sense that this guy was going to be beheaded by the warlord. Green Arrow was fine. Safely and steadily blowing the air-conditioning in the office to sign the check.

But when Jason searched through the recent news of Oliver Quinn and found that all of them were focused on the launch of the new generation of Quinn Industries' products and caused a sensation, he vaguely discovered that there seemed to be some tension between Harper and Quinn. Something is wrong.As he continued to search for old news, Jason's brows became more and more furrowed.

There has been no news of Roy Harper for more than four years, as if he disappeared overnight.Jason could only speculate that the Robin Hood pair had fallen out, but he couldn't find any further clues.And judging from the fact that Oliver Queen is expected to attend the opening ceremony of the Star City Concert Hall tomorrow, Harper's life will soon be lost.

"Well, for the sake of you not being such an asshole." Jason poked at the miserable photo of Harper on his phone, hesitated for a moment, bought the nearest flight to the country, and went to A large sum of money was donated to the campaign fund of the human rights group - he had to make sure that everyone who recognized him would immediately link the "Second Young Master of the Wayne Family" with participating in human rights defense activities.

After all, he needs a lot of alibi for the big event he is going to do next!

Mom said to let him leave Gotham for a walk. Now that the claws have been removed, the court will not be able to play tricks without thugs. It should be no problem for him to leave for a while. Bruce will help look at the old man and let him Don't just think about the night patrol case all day long. If you're not around, Rice can spend more time with Tibao and Dicky Bird. No matter how you look at it, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

It's time to take a trip as soon as you say go!

***

On the way to that Middle Eastern country—Korak—Jason finally figured out why Harper had put him in prison.

"That idiot." Jason couldn't help but slapped his forehead, "What the hell is he thinking?"

Roy Harper is a hot-blooded good guy, and despite his drinking problem, he's a pretty funny guy most of the time.Probably because Jason had bumped into Harper when his bout was a mess and didn't give him the usual sobriety advice, Harper was the most Jason-friendly of Dick's group of friends .Although he didn't do anything to tear faces with his friends for Jason, but often when Jason was in an awkward atmosphere and didn't know what to do, that guy would show off his new weapon to distract everyone. Let Jason take the opportunity to escape.Harper is the type who happily circles around you like a puppy once he thinks you're a friend.

This time his enthusiasm was misplaced.

Kerak is a country with constant civil strife. The previous leader was a dictator who ruled with an iron fist. At this time, a group of young people full of ideals and aspirations appeared. They relied on outdated weapons to struggle against the evil dictator. Liberate the motherland!What a noble ambition!

So Harper rushed to Kerak, joined the rebels and actually helped them overthrow the evil dictator!Then he was bitten back by the young and promising interim government, and he was thrown into prison to be killed on the grounds of inciting civil strife.

"If you think about it with your toes, you will know that there must be ghosts in the group of young volunteers... how can poor young people survive with well-equipped government troops for so long, and whenever their weapons and ammunition are about to run out, someone will miraculously sponsor them They buy arms!"

Jason really doesn't know what to say, which is why even front-line superheroes like the Justice League are reluctant to intervene in this kind of civil war.Because whether it is the leaders on stage or the opposition off stage, usually neither side is a good person.Generally speaking, superheroes only come forward to slap each other to calm down when the life of civilians in the country is about to die.

Jason followed the human rights group and protested outside Kerak prison for two days, waiting for his equipment to arrive at the designated location.He came here on a civil aviation plane this time, and those guns and ammunition couldn't get through the formal customs, so he still had to go his mother's way to get things over.During this period of time, Jason managed to make his existence recognized by most people in the group. If someone from law enforcement asks, everyone here can provide him with an alibi.

Another thing that makes Jason feel very fresh is that most people here don't know him.

In Gotham, it is almost impossible for the Wayne family to walk on the street without wearing sunglasses and disguise, and someone will always recognize you.But here, this group doesn't care about a millionaire and his sons, they only care about someone being executed without a proper trial, which violates international human rights protections.

Jason felt relieved to be out of the spotlight.

He doesn't need to act as the shy second young master, and he doesn't have to worry about his father staring nervously at him from behind - the time to let himself go has come!

Harper himself was even more miserable than the photos make it out to be.His face was almost covered with marks from black to bright red, as if people lined up to slap his face every day, and the red and peeling sunburn on his exposed hands made people feel pain. Flappy red hair hangs from his skull like a stinking mass of seaweed, and you don't have to get too close to smell a greasy smell.

When he got Harper out of this damn place, the first thing he did was to clean him up!

Nothing dirty like this is allowed to cross the threshold of the Red Hood safe house!

"Hey... I don't want to act like I'm ungrateful, but..." Harper's hands and feet were chained, and a huge iron ball was tied to the chain. Holding it, the one on the foot is dragging on the ground, "Look, I can't give you a friendly handshake because I have to hold this ball."

At this moment, Jason was playing the role of the priest who came to ask the prisoner to pray before death. He opened the "Bible" in his hand in front of Harper with a compassionate expression, and as expected, he heard the other party take a deep breath and say The very appropriate line: "My God!"

A hole was dug in the opened Bible, and a compound bow lay inside, no matter how it looked, it was the one he took away when he was disarmed.Even the scratches and bruises are exactly the same.

"Yes, boy, God forgives all your sins, Amen." The priest's face dissolved in full view, revealing the red full-face helmet underneath, before the guards could raise their submachine guns and fire Then, the "Priest" took out two large-caliber modified pistols from his coat and fired one shot at the guard, and the other hit Harper's handcuffs.

"What's the matter?" Harper was shocked to see that the muzzle of the gun fired not a bullet but some kind of energy, and burned the handcuffs restraining him in just one second.

"Don't stand there stupidly, where are you from, little princess?" Red Hood kicked Harper rudely, driving him away from the trajectory of the armed group's reinforcements, "Can you still draw your bow?"

Harper stood there looking at the quiver stuffed into his arms by the red hood, and his eyes stayed on the bat on the opponent's chest for three seconds.

"How many things can you take out of your bat pockets?" He couldn't believe that this guy sneaked in with a gun and a quiver full of arrows in his coat. This is too bold, " And that optical face-changing mask! Why do you all have fun little toys!"

"Are you envious?" This is one of the things that Red Hood likes about Harper. He looks at things differently from others, and doesn't dwell too much on trivial matters, such as "who are you" and "why are you Save me", "Where are you taking me", etc.

"You still need to tell me! Remember to show me the mask when we go out!" Harper drew his bow and shot arrows while chatting with Red Hood. Blow up a hole in the prison and escape, "I'm going to use that Ole to hook up with the witch of the Ao Gu family. Ahahahahahaha! Then let Dinah kick his ass hard!"

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Red Hood continued to shoot, his tone dropped an octave, but Harper was obviously oblivious to it.

"Don't do that, buddy! I've heard about your deeds. You even provoked Batman, didn't you?" Harper successfully blasted a passageway, and the two of them were covered in dust and exploded. We got out under the cover of smoke, "We've all gone to the Middle East, wouldn't it be worth it not to go to the League of Assassins to check in and take pictures!"

"Hmph." The red hood was noncommittal to Harper's statement, and led him all the way to a jeep, "Get in the car, bow your head! Don't stick your head out until I say yes."

Harper jumped into the car obediently, and several times when he heard the artillery gunshots around him, he wanted to probe out to find out, but was pressed back by the palm of the red hood.I don't know how long it took, but when he tried to poke his head out again, he could no longer see Kerak's army, and all he could see was yellow sand.

One can vaguely see a building rising from the end of their driving direction.

There was another group of people heading towards them.

"Uh, the hood is big?" Harper grabbed his weapon nervously, "Is that your friend?"

Red Hood didn't answer, he parked the car in the middle of the desert, jumped out of the driver's seat, walked around to Harper's passenger seat, opened the door and let him get out of the car.

"Well, I don't feel at all that I'm going to be arrested to have my blood drawn and my kidney removed. Really, I think it's super safe." Harper said ironically with a smile, and Harper swallowed to suppress his nervousness , he was running out of arrows, and he could only believe that Red Hood didn't save him to kill him himself.

But who knows?Maybe he offended this big boss before he knew it.

"Wow, that's... that's Thalia O. Gu?" As the distance got closer, Harper finally saw the leader of the convoy coming towards them, "What the hell! Are you from the League of Assassins? "

Red Hood turned to give Harper a deadpan hooded face, walking towards Talia while taking the hood off.

"Hey, Mom!" Jason's hair was messed up in the process of pulling off the hood, but the smile on his face made Thalia decide to temporarily ignore the flaws in his appearance, "Why did you come here by yourself?"

Roy Harper stared at the witch he was talking about with his big goldfish-like eyes rubbing the red hood's hair tenderly—wait a minute, that's Jason?The dead Jason?What did he miss when he was engaged in liberation activities?

And why did Jason just call Thalia?Like MOM's mother?

Hmm... he's pretty sure now that he offended the Red Hood a few minutes ago.

I don't know if he goes back to prison now, will the Kerak government accept him?
