[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

No wonder so many people go to a therapist, or to a tree hole.

Jason felt that he had finally solved a big mystery in his heart, and he was a little happy.

I can’t blame him for questioning the existence of psychiatrists. When mentioning psychiatrists in Gotham, the first thing that comes to mind is Harley Quinn. With the mallet in her hand and the colorful dress, Can't really build professional trust.

As for the tree hole... If Jason dared to find a tree hole in Gotham, the gossip about the Wayne family in the next six months would probably be settled, and the media would be grateful to help him worship the statue day and night.

What?Looking for a tree hole in the hero community, please answer first. What is the difference between this and reporting to Bruce?It doesn't look like it does in Jason.

Isn't there the League of Assassins?This proposal is very good, but at this stage, Jason still hopes to avoid the situation where he just found a tree hole today, and the entire alliance team will drive into Gotham tomorrow.

So much so that for the first time in so many years, he found a tree hole that was not biased, risk-free, and even willing to listen. Jason felt that after expressing his emotions, his whole person seemed to be renewed from the inside out, full of infinite energy And positive energy!

Even Damon swept away the gloom accumulated in the past few days, and regained his confidence and enthusiasm in pursuing Catherine.

This made Jason not know what to say. Although it was a good thing to cheer up, the direction seemed to be different from what he expected.But with Dimon's initiative, I believe Catherine will not have so much time to pester Dick or himself.

Although this seemed like watching people jump into the fire pit, Jason could only apologize to Damon in a low voice, and decided that if the results of the investigation showed that Catherine Pierce was really embracing a conspiracy... then even if Daimon If Meng is knocked unconscious and locked up, he will also beat the mandarin duck with a stick.But the first thing to do is to find out who Catherine is.

Dick knew Jason was avoiding him.

Even though Jason seemed to be really investigating important information, and the room was filled with more and more books, Dick still sensed an invisible barrier in Jason's every move, separating himself from his actions. outside.

On the other hand, Jason often drinks and chats with the eldest son of El Salvador, but Dick can't do anything to rush to each other and say: "How did you seduce my brother!" or: "How did you treat my brother?" What kind of conspiracy!" and other words, just thinking about it in his head made Dick feel extremely ridiculous, this is not some house fighting emotional drama.

But let's be honest, this pattern of getting along is basically repeating Night of the Owls.

Jason had a big plan in mind, but Dick carefully kept Dick out of the plan.

Angrily breaking off the grass stalk in his hand, Dick racked his brains to think of any way to get himself included in Jason's circle again.

There are no precious memories between him and Jason that will serve as a bridge for them to regain their brotherhood. To put it bluntly, even if one day he and Jason put knives on each other's necks, according to the routine At some point, someone should say: "We shouldn't have come this far, remember when blahblahblah..." But sorry, he really couldn't think of anything to say—"You still remember when I released you In the days of Titan?", "Do you remember the days when you were my sweets supplier?"

He tried so hard to blackmail Jason with favors, hoping to use this trip to break the ice for the two of them, and at the same time increase some common memories.As a result, the memories are there, but they are far from being warm and happy.

"You can't go on like this, you have to act like a big brother, Dick." He whispered to himself, giving himself firm confidence, "Even if Jason is crazy, he can't back down, it's a big deal! Don't you just Did you plan this trip to put an end to this secrecy with Jason forever! Come on, Dick, you can be Dick! Everyone is Robin, there should be no secrets between Robins! Come on, Robin Ben!"

Dick cheered himself up in his heart, he couldn't understand many of Jason's thoughts, because there was nothing between the two of them apart from Bruce and the vigilante career of the Bat Family - just like those who came off work. Like colleagues who have no idea what you're doing, the only connection you have with each other is work.

Since the goal from the very beginning is to recreate the shared memories between brothers and condense each other's emotions, even if there are a few more twists and turns in the middle process, he, Dick Grayson, will still grit his teeth and go on!Isn't it just a time travel, plus a girl with weird abilities!He is a man who has even dealt with aliens, is he still afraid of a few ancient people!Even an ancient man from the division can't stop him from breaking the solid ice between himself and Little Wing!

Thinking about it, Dick really felt the blood in his chest aroused his whole body, and even if the doomsday was in front of him, he rushed forward to beat him with a stick.

After mental preparation, Dick continued to wait for Jason at the small gate in the back garden of the Salvador house.

There is a secret path here for the servants, so that the servants who go to the town to buy some food, rice, oil and salt can quietly bring back the supplies needed by the masters. Although the two of them are "guests", in order to maintain a low profile, there is no Both he and Jason would use the trail to get back and forth between town and the El Salvador house when necessary.

Dick originally thought that he would wait for a Jason who was pissed off in the town, holding back his stomach full of anger, but he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was a wobbly walking as if he would fall to the ground at any time stefan.

Stefan's condition looked terrible, and his face was particularly pale and scary. Fortunately, he was not completely unconscious, and his whole body was still humming weakly.Dick had to half drag and half hug him to the edge of a nearby flower table and sit down.After carefully observing Stefan's appearance, he didn't see any obvious scars, but from the symptoms shown by the other party, Dick always felt that Stefan seemed to be severely anemic.

"Steven, are you okay?" Dick tried to call his name to keep him awake, and at the same time tried to ask what happened. "What happened, did you hurt anywhere?"

Stefan blinked, raised his head and looked around first, his eyes were a little out of focus, and after a long while, he nodded indiscriminately and said perfunctorily: "It's nothing special, I'm just a little tired, I'll be fine after a rest."

"Okay, you close your eyes and rest for a while, I'll go back to the house and get someone, you need to see a doctor." Dick didn't believe Stefan's words "just need to rest", his face looked like those The patient who was bleeding heavily and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment is not good anyway, but Stefan, who was still weak just now and was about to faint, suddenly reached out and grabbed Dick's sleeve to prevent him from leaving. The strength of his hand was as strong as his weakness The appearance does not match at all.

If the patient doesn't cooperate, even the presence of an angel can't prevent mortals from committing suicide. Dick can only watch carefully, lest Stefan faint in the next second and hit his head on a stone on the side of the road to die. up.At this time, Dick didn't care about blocking Jason's important task. There was a Stefan in front of him who didn't know if he would die at any time. This was a matter of life and death.

"Don't look for anyone, don't look for anyone! But you see, this is on the road. If you spread out on the side of the road like this, sooner or later you will be seen by others."

The vigilante's intuition told Dick that there must be something tricky behind this. If he was in Gotham or Bluhaven, he might choose to knock the other party out and send him to the hospital by force, but he is now a guest of El Salvador. It's the young master of this family. Dick can't be rough with his master, so he had to use another method to persuade Stefan to nod and cooperate.

"Then...can I borrow your room for a while?" Stefan thought for a while following Dick's words, and finally let Dick help him up, and walked into the room carefully, "I'm so sorry, are you Guest, I trouble you like this."

Stefan's face was full of shame, and Dick suspected that if he hadn't been severely anemic now, his whole face would be red all the way to his ears.

"It's okay, it's okay." Dick thought of Tim, who had just become Batman's assistant. The young man who was not yet skilled in business often used too much force. It was up to Nightwing to carry him back to the Batcave first, so that Batman would not find out. Tim's low-level mistake, "Sit down, I'll get you a glass of water."

Little things like this that would make Dick shake his head helplessly in retrospect hardly existed between him and Jason.Except for the small snacks other than the mission and the case, but even the small snacks have completely disappeared from Dick's apartment with the tension between Dick, Jason, and the Teen Titans of the year.

Taking a deep breath and recalling the scene under pressure, Dick grabbed the kettle and cup from the bedside table, took out the attitude of preaching to Red Robin after the night watch, and gave Stefan instructions:

"Now, you can stay here temporarily until your physical strength is restored, but as long as I assess that your condition has not improved, I will immediately notify others to ask for a doctor, no! Don't refuse, I am a person with a bottom line, no Will watch other people play their lives in front of me, but I can help you think of an excuse, if you really have something to hide, so we have reached a consensus? Good, drink water now, and then rest."

Dick looked helplessly at Stefan holding the water glass up to his lips with trembling hands, and couldn't help guessing what happened to make a person who was healthy the day before suddenly look like this.

Catherine, who can be hypnotized, and Stefan, who is suddenly severely anemic.

All kinds of weird situations make Dick wonder if the town they live in is really just a traditional and conservative rural place?Could this be the case that Jason has been investigating?

Even if he was caught in his own thinking, Dick could still subconsciously catch the water glass that Stefan returned to him, and at the same time filled it up and handed it to the other party.Then he was pulled back to reality by Stefan's suppressed laughter, and looked at the frail young man with one hand covering his mouth and sniggeringly while the other was holding the water glass that had just been filled.

"Sorry." Noticing Dick's gaze, Stefan smiled a little embarrassedly, "I just saw how skillful you are in taking care of people, and I couldn't help but think 'ah! So no matter where you go, brothers are like this ', that's why I laughed, it's not your problem, I'm really sorry."

"Oh." Dick didn't pay much attention to these little things, and all his attention was on Stefan's sentence "so brothers are like this", and a great idea came to mind.

——Why has he never thought about what other people's brothers do?Maybe he will be able to find the direction of improvement immediately by comparing it!

"Stephan." Dick said to Stefan in the gentlest tone, "Would you like to talk to me about your brother?"

"Of course it's okay!" The second son of El Salvador, who is not deeply involved in the world, happily agreed, and the two chatted happily.

Dick concentrated on absorbing the "quality that a good brother should have". If this is a cultivation game, Dick feels that when sending Stefan away, he should have a big "brother" on his head. "That's right.

"Okay, then... To be a caring brother, you must first help your brother think of all the details that they didn't think of." Dick summed up himself, ready to let Jason feel his heartfelt feelings Sincerity, and his unadulterated love for Jason.

***

Jason thought he must be tired today.

It must be like this, otherwise why did he feel that his room was filled with a strong smell of garlic?

Wait, are those strings hanging by the window garlic bulbs?

"What the hell are you doing?" He walked to the window and grabbed the contents of the net bag in front of his eyes, and the fine skin of the garlic balls immediately peeled off and sprinkled all over the floor.

Dick pushed the door open at this moment, holding a small pot in his hand—the one that holds garlic in the kitchen, and when he saw Jason, the expression on his face was not the embarrassment of being caught as a prank, but a look of embarrassment. A kind of vague complacency and pride: "Ah, come back and pull, little wing! Come, come, see for yourself where you want to put these garlic? I think there should be some on the bedside."

"Damn! What are you crazy about, Dicky bird!" Jason let go of the net bag and let the net bag swing back to its original place, and the minced garlic skins fell like snowflakes, "You better have an explanation, otherwise you don't even think about it." Walk out the door completely."

"No problem, listen to me carefully, Little Wing." Dick calmly raised his hand to stop Jason who wanted to continue threatening him, took a deep breath, and then said in a serious tone of reporting to Batman: " I feel like there are vampires in town, all around us."

Jason's mind was a little confused by Dick's speech, and he couldn't figure out what made Dick say that suddenly.

"Okay, don't talk about this, I'll explain to you slowly, where do you want to put this garlic first?" Dick was full of concern, and kept putting garlic in every corner of Jason's room Fang, "Don't worry about me, I still have a lot of... Gapu! Little Wing, you... Keke Keke!"

However, Little Wing did not accept the care of his elder brother Yeyi, and fed him a mouthful of garlic.

——Why is this happening? This is different from what you said!
