[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

On the seventh day of his stay in El Salvador, Jason had already figured out the family's population composition and some dark history. He thanked the silent servants who served in this house. ?

As the head of the family, Gisep Salvador is a typical authoritative parent. He is a one-sided existence at home. His wife died of illness many years ago. Gisep, who never remarried, brought up two sons with totalitarian discipline. — Damon and Stefan.

Jason hasn't had a chance to meet Damon in person, and according to Gisup, Damon is now engaged in "the great cause of defending the Confederacy" (Gissup repeats whenever he gets a chance, as if joining the military was part of Damon's life. The most worthy of boasting great achievements), will not return home in a short time.Stefan is a very kind-hearted young man, about the age of high school in modern times, just like all teenagers with hormone outbreaks, Stefan's fascination with Catherine is probably only blind.

If there is really something wrong with Catherine, Jason can be [-]% sure that Stefan, a silly boy whose body and mind are completely soaked in the sour smell of love, will definitely do everything to save his beautiful love.While Jason lowered his head to think, Stefan and Catherine exchanged affectionate glances across the dining table, which made Jason want to roll his eyes.Well, he'll try to keep his head down and not mess with the fools in love.

Unable to continue to endure the young couple's self-confessed show of affection, Jason was about to leave the dining table when a high-spirited young man walked into the restaurant's gate. He confronted Jason who had just stood up immediately. He closed his eyes and stopped in surprise, only then did he notice Dick beside Jason.

The young man's face was filled with doubts.

"Ah, Damon, what a coincidence! I was talking to these two gentlemen that you joined the Confederate Army and bravely defended the South." Mr. Salvatore touched his lips with a napkin, and his tone of voice was completely out of character. It was as if he was talking to his own son, even his attitude when talking to his servants was much gentler than this, "I didn't even notice that the Confederate side gave soldiers so much leave? Well, come to meet our guests , these two are Mr. Wayne from New Jersey, whose father was a respectable supporter of the Confederacy. Gentlemen, this is my ineffective eldest son, Damon."

Dick and Jason took turns to complete the standard greeting of shaking hands and exchanging names with Dimon.

"How long will you stay at home this time?" This question should be a very common concern. Parents always want to know how long they can spend with their children. It was Gisep's tone and his expression that made Jason feel that he was very I don't want Damon to stay at home for too long, I wish Damon would turn around and leave immediately and return to the army.

Dimon obviously also felt the true meaning that his father didn't bring up, and he pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a provocative smile: "Don't worry, father, we will have a lot of time to get along well from now on! You don't have to Worried that my stump will be sent home with a medal in a box!"

As Gisep's face gradually turned livid, Damon added with a happier smile: "Unless I'm mistaken, you actually prefer me to be in the state of a medal and a box? Hey, that's troublesome." , Otherwise, you and I will go to the conscription station together, I believe that the people there will sell you no matter what they do to put me back on the team..."

Mr. Salvatore looked like he was about to burst into a blood vessel and passed out. Jason and Dick also realized that no matter what happened next, they, the two outsiders, should not stay and mix in.In a few words, they found a reason to leave the table, and no one questioned whether their etiquette was in place at this juncture, because just as Jason and Dick stepped out of the restaurant, there was a burst of noise from behind them. An uplifting melody played in unison.

***

Immediately afterwards, Jason and Dick heard Salvador and his son scolding from the restaurant.

"My God, he's really angry, isn't he?" Dick didn't dare to turn his head, and strode towards his guest room, "God knows how many things will still be intact after they leave. Ah Fu knows Broken, what a fine porcelain, just smash it."

Jason frowned and didn't speak until both of them stood at the door of Jason's room, and Dick stood behind Jason with a smile on his face, motionless.

"Lost? Your room is next door." Jason raised his chin in the direction of the next room, put his hand on the doorknob but refused to open the door in front of Dick, "You can't even walk?"

"I'm thinking... we need to talk." Dick's smile is still [-]%, "we've been here for a week, and I think it's time for us brothers to have a good chat about what to do next...or you actually I already have an idea, how can I help?"

Jason looked at Dick, narrowed his eyes slowly, and twitched the corners of his mouth in disgust.

"Come on, Dickie." Jason smiled disdainfully, and opened the door to beckon Dick to come in. "You want to talk? Let's have a good talk. Talk about the ghost itinerary you arranged to get us into this embarrassing situation." In a dying state, let’s talk about how you can’t even do the most basic and simple order I’ve given you—stay away from Catherine Pierce.”

"I..." Dick wanted to explain, saying that he had taken the initiative to avoid Catherine, but when she came to her, he couldn't drive her away in front of a girl, but after seeing Jason's impatient eyes, he obediently He kept his mouth shut, aggrieved like a beaten dog, and Jason was that ruthless bad guy.

"Not everything in this world can be solved by hugging to spread positive energy, as well as great love, friendship and family affection, okay?" Jason leaned his back against the wall, crossed his hands on his chest and stared fiercely at Dick, he He knew that he was venting his anger on Dick, but he had held back the anger for several days and didn't know where to vent it, and the irritability that the investigation had hit a wall everywhere made him spit out sharp speeches to Dick word by word, "The world of our ordinary people is different from It's a different wonderful world for the Golden Boys, thank you."

"What's wrong with you, Jay!" Dick looked at Jason's expression of "I just have something wrong, how about it!", opened and closed his mouth, but couldn't say a word after all.

OK!He admitted that arranging those haunted attractions was selfish. The first case he and Jason worked together involved supernatural events. Looking back now, it was one of the rare cases where they cooperated happily.

He just wanted to see if he could come across a haunted house worthy of the name, and maybe a short story of brothers fighting ghosts as a rare memory during the trip.Of course, if he could travel through... Ahem, pretend he never thought about it.

There was a part of Dick that wanted to yell at Jason, tell him to stop putting on that weird attitude.Can't you be like a mature adult, face the problems in front of you rationally, solve things in the most efficient way, and go back to your own era?But the other part of Dick whispered in his ear, it was because of your arrangements that all these troubles happened, Jason was completely implicated by your incompetent big brother, what right do you have to lose your temper.

"I'm going back to my room first." Dick tried to suppress the struggle in his heart, and after hearing Jason's perfunctory "hmm", he left Jason's room without looking back, and he didn't care whether he looked right or not. Very embarrassed.

***

There was a deserter in the noble M. Giuseppe Salvatore's family.

This kind of gossip quickly swept through the town, even if everyone in the entire El Salvador house swore to God that they hadn't mentioned a word to outsiders, this kind of explosive news would always find a way to spread in the streets and alleys.

The heat of the desertion incident is far greater than the arrival of Jason and Dick. This is good news for them. The only downside is probably the unusual low pressure between Salvador and his son.

Gisep is now determined to treat the eldest son as air, even if Damon is dangling in front of his eyes, he still talks to the younger son Stefan without squinting, even though Stefan racks his brains to ease the tension between father and elder brother. However, one of the two doesn't care about the relationship between them, and the other intends to fight to the end.

After a few days, even Stefan gave up on trying to be a peacemaker.

All of this was silently seen by Jason. As a guest, he had no position to meddle in the host's housework, but from his point of view, he was not affected at all in this family storm, and even The only one who enjoyed this situation was Catherine Pierce, who sent out "dangerous" signals to Jason all the time.

Even if this kind of warning signal is just a sequela of time travel and a harbinger of Jason's imminent madness, he can still say with certainty: This woman is a scum with two feet on her back!

Jason saw her alone with one of the two brothers more than once when he was checking out the house in El Salvador. It's not that they were doing something indecent, but considering the restrained atmosphere of this era and the two brothers (thought When no one is paying attention) Looking into Catherine's eyes, Jason can bet with Ah Fu's cookies that the two boats under Catherine's feet are called Damon and the other is called Stefan.

And judging from the situation in front of her, Catherine doesn't mind developing a third boat——

"Richard, you haven't finished telling me about the circus last time!" Catherine looked at Dick expectantly, "Can they really let lions and tigers perform?"

"Of course!" Dick unobtrusively pulled the distance between the two of them when Catherine wanted to get closer to him, "Not just beasts, animals like elephants will also perform."

"It must be very exciting. It's a pity that I haven't seen a circus performance yet." Catherine said, lowering her eyelids a little lonely. If any of the El Salvador brothers saw this, they would definitely not hesitate to participate in it themselves. Perform a trick so dear Catherine can smile again.

Too bad it was Dick Grayson she met.

Dick didn't have Jason's supernatural senses, but he was the number one student trained by the world's best detective.No matter how Jason complained about him, Ye Yi didn't fight crime with his handsome face and buttocks alone. Of course he could see that Catherine was deliberately hanging on to the El Salvador brothers. To be fooled by the innocence shown?

"You will take me to see it, Richard." Catherine tilted her head and looked into Dick's eyes. "One day, you will take me to your hometown."

Dick was trying to find a random topic to perfuse Catherine when he suddenly felt a strange thought arise——

Yes, it's a pity that Catherine hasn't been to a circus!He was supposed to take her to all the circus shows in the world, heck, he was "Flying Grayson" himself, he was supposed to show this beautiful lady the most thrilling trapeze show...

Wait, what is he thinking?

"Richard?" Catherine was still looking at Dick without blinking her big watery eyes, "Promise me that you will take me to your hometown, okay?"

"Of course..." Before the word "good" came out of his mouth, Dick suddenly hissed and took a deep breath. He turned his head and saw the tendons on the side of his neck pinched and shivered. The culprit of pain is the "hand"

The owner of the hand, Jason, looked at Dick's reaction with a half-smile: "Hey, dear brother, I just wanted to say why I couldn't find you, so I was busy flirting with girls?"

Dick explained embarrassingly, while Catherine lowered her head and pretended to be shy. In fact, she was happily watching the scene of jealousy between brothers. Another pair of good looking boys, the Wayne brothers are a gift from the sky.

Although the hypnotic suggestion failed because of Jason's interruption, as long as she stayed under the same roof, she had plenty of opportunities.And if she can make the brothers fall in love with her willingly...it will be a challenge!

Catherine, who was in a good mood, didn't notice the eye contact between Dick and Jason, and she didn't care which corner the Wayne brothers went to to kill each other after they left for any reason.

Too bad there's no such thing as Nightwing and Red Hood fighting each other in a rural Virginia town a century ago.

A Yeyi was carried back to the room half-lifted and half-dragged by the neck, fell to the ground and screamed. This situation was happening. Jason's feet had already been raised in the air, and he couldn't bear to step on them after all.

"Is your fucking brain not working or you didn't go out with your brain at all? I told you not to provoke that woman, now I know you are afraid?" Jason would never admit it to Dick, when he saw Dick staring blankly Catherine, and when she repeated "You will take me to your house" to Dick like a spell, the first thing he thought of was how to release Catherine without hurting Dick... Whether it's hypnosis or brainwashing or witchcraft.

Then he thought of the purification power of the big caste, but this time Jason didn't hit the person who needs to be purified with his fist, but grabbed the silly blue bird by the neck, preparing to pinch the person if the purification fails fainted.

"Oh, little wing, you're really tough." Dick got up from the ground and sat cross-legged, grinning, rubbing the sore place where Jason had pinched him, "What happened just now? I suddenly felt... I don't know , just... really want to bring Catherine back to Gotham."

"Hmph! Take her back to Gotham? When she's done, I think you'll follow along with a smile even if you want to cut your kidney!" Jason's fierce eyes gouged Dick like a knife, "How much did I say? "That woman is dangerous", which one of these six words do you not know? Do you want me to spell it out for you and put it on the bedside to recite day and night?"

Dick sat on the spot in a daze, staring dumbfounded at Jason, who was furious and kept scolding himself. After the initial surprise and confusion passed, what was left was the anger that gradually spread from a single spark to a monstrous flame (there was still a little more time left). Slightly ashamed).

"Hey, you're almost there!" Dick tried to tell himself to calm down, but the volume of what he blurted out was still louder than he had imagined, and the tone was much sharper than he expected.

Jason raised his eyebrows almost immediately, and looked at Dick provocatively: "Otherwise? Are you going to use your big brother's power to spank my ass?"

"If you continue to be so unreasonable, maybe you will." Not to be outdone, Dick returned the same smirk full of declaration of war to Jason, "Since we came to this hellish place, I have tried my best to cooperate with every move you make. An instruction, no trouble for you, yes! I admit that there is a problem with the tour route I arranged at the beginning, and I am wrong for us to get to this point, but you don't need to act like you are going to be killed every day, and I Just a mentally handicapped idiot who doesn't understand anything but slowing down!"

"Because you can't understand human language!" Jason pointed at Dick's nose and scolded back, "If I hadn't intervened, would you think it would be nice to be fascinated by her, anyway, she looks like a big girl in any direction. beauty?"

"Then she just showed up and started talking to me, what can I do? Run away like a ghost?" Dick felt that there was nothing out of the ordinary in his way of handling it, "You are talking as if I took the initiative to provoke the other party Like. Come on, Jason, be reasonable."

"Hmph, who doesn't know that your middle name is heartthrob, Grayson." Jason curled his lips in disdain, and continued to sarcasm Dick mercilessly, even though he knew in his heart that Dick was dealing with Catherine. What's wrong, just like Dick said, he couldn't run away as soon as he saw Catherine, but Jason still couldn't control the unhappiness in his stomach since he fell into this era, "Of course that woman Wants to have you in her harem! Who in the world doesn't love Dick Golden Boy Grayson? Not to mention our hometown, even this place they see you like a flower. "

Dick sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose in distress: "Listen, Jason, I know you're under a lot of pressure...the people here are not so friendly, I understand."

"You know what a bird." Jason snorted coldly, folded his hands on his chest and turned his eyes away from Dick.The people here are not only unfriendly, they are simply a group of narrow-minded... No, they have no vision at all!

Jason is actually mentally prepared. When he and the people here introduce himself and Dick as "brothers", people will have questions about their dissimilar appearance and physique.And since Dick is the eldest brother, Jason can understand that these people (from a patriarchal point of view) infer that the two of them are half-brothers.

Even regarding the fact that he was regarded as the illegitimate child of his concubine, Jason took three deep breaths and told himself not to care about these white-minded guys, but it turns out that these people will not regard your self-cultivation as a virtue.

He wandered around the town to collect some information, and at the same time chatted with some people's grooms or maids, and immediately got the comment that "the colored people will mix together".What was even more exaggerated was that when he walked into the shop in the town, the clerk who was watching the shop behind the counter immediately took advantage of Jason not facing him directly, and put away some of the more valuable decorations on the counter.

Several times, Jason felt like he was back in Gotham's Crime Alley, and the people around him looked at him with disgust, as if he was a piece of garbage that could be kicked away by the side of the road, but at least he could bite those people back openly.What makes people here even more disgusting is that even if they want to insult him, they have to pull a fig leaf "very cultivated" and do some small tricks, so that as long as he gets angry, he will attract more "Sure enough, inferior people are useless" The argument of "upbringing" can be said to injure the enemy one hundred and self-injure eight thousand.

Where's Dick?He was so popular that even the little jokes he made from time to time because he was not familiar with the etiquette of this era were evaluated as "cute", and were even taken as intentional to amuse the ladies.How dare such a Grayson say "I understand" and "I understand" nonsense in front of him!

"Jason, you..." Dick wanted to say something more, but Jason exuded an aura of repulsion from thousands of miles away, so Dick could only hold back his words, "I think we'd better calm down , That's right, do it."

Dick rubbed his way to the door bit by bit, turned the lock, and watched Jason's reaction.

Jason didn't stop him, so Dick took that as an acquiescence, and exited the room quickly, holding his breath, and added in an irresistible tone before closing the door again: "You know you can tell me anything you want Right, Jason, you are my little wing!"

What answered him was the door panel that was slapped vigorously in front of his face.
