[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

While Jason and Dick happily embark on a road trip (one of them) with their bags packed, Gotham City's bat vigilantes are still working hard to guard their city...

It's just that everyone responds slightly differently.

Red Robin, a patient with severe mobile phone addiction, has already made complete preparations. Before the two went out, they collected the mobile phones of Jason and Dick in the name of "mobile phone health check" and checked them thoroughly.

And also gave Jason a clean, healthy, green and pollution-free mobile phone without monitoring, side recording, or various redundant functions.And when Jason turned around and asked Roy to check thoroughly, confirming that there is no problem with the phone, and the memory has been upgraded and increased, he showed an expression of "Idol doubts me, I am very hurt" in exchange for Jason's guilt-ridden companionship Escort service for games, night patrol, and queuing for supper.

Damian thought from the beginning to the end that Tim must have tampered with the mobile phone, but Roy's skills were not in place, so he was fooled by Tim's third-rate skills.Under his all kinds of positive and negative compliments, cynicism and even hints of yin and yang, he finally asked Jason to hand over his mobile phone in exchange for the cleanliness of his ears.Damian held Jason's mobile phone with his head held high and walked towards the inspection equipment in the Batcave. He imagined Tim's hideous appearance after he exposed Tim's conspiracy, and planned how to threaten Tim to let Hong Luo Bin will obediently be his night watchman in the future.

However, he found nothing.

Except for upgraded memory and a longer-lasting battery, there is nothing strange about it.

Under the blessing of Tim's aura of "as a good young man who respects the old and loves the young, I am hurt and sad but I will not say it", Damian felt the double pressure from his father and brother, and reluctantly gave Tim apologized - he swears he saw Tim turn away and grin wickedly!

That guy is not a thoughtful little padded jacket, cut it open and took out the inside to ensure that it is all black to shiny black heart!

Red Robin, who had won another big victory, tightened his cloak, took out his mobile phone in the cold wind of Gotham, looked at the message prompt and smiled to unlock the screen.

On the screen of the phone was Jason's impatient face, and in the background was the lights of thousands of houses flickering in the dark, like an observation deck overlooking the city.

"What's there to shoot!" Jason on the screen clicked his tongue, frowned and stretched out his hand to take a picture of the camera. Then there was a sound of shaking, and the black shadow of the cloth rubbing against the lens. After a while, Jason was stinking The thoughtful expression on his face returned to the square frame, "I'm serious, isn't the night view of the city such a virtue, can't you get tired of watching it every day?"

"Oh, don't spoil the scenery, Little Wing! Hey, don't move, that's right, just take a picture from this angle." A shutter click sounded, the video was frozen and saved as a photo, and then the camera continued to follow Jason , the wind on the viewing platform was very strong, Jason had to squint his eyes so as not to let his hair get stuck in his eyes, "Don't you see it, Little Wing, you can take photos with landmark buildings on the other side, it is recognized on the Internet Best place to shoot!"

"If you want to take pictures of yourself, I'm not interested." Jason put his hands in his pockets, shrunk his neck in the cold wind, and walked quickly into the crowd.

The camera panned quickly, showing half of Dick's flustered and frustrated face, and a vague sentence: "Wait for me, Jay..."

Image transfer interrupted.

Red Robin calmly clicked on his cell phone album, Jason had a downcast expression on his face, and the background was the shining city lights.Well, the proportion of the face in the frame is too large. If he were to take the picture, the angle would be a little lower, but this is the most instant and freshest idol tonight.

Seek what you have first and then ask for the best. You can't ask for too much when you are away from home. He still understands this kind of truth.

Hesitating for a moment before looking at the phone, Red Robin uploaded the photo just now to his and Connor's dedicated small group photo album in the spirit of friendship and kindness.

The other party responded quickly:

Superboy: Didn't you say you went on a trip?

Red Robin smiled triumphantly, and typed a series of instructions quickly with both hands. He is the only one in the Bat Family who can type without abbreviations while watching the night. Role.

Damian sneered at him as an Internet addict. For such comments, Red Robin always believed that the jealousy of the weak was at work. After all, they had to admit that typing "LOL" was slow enough for him to type. A string of "Laughoutloud" is really difficult.

Before Connor finished typing the next sentence, Red Robin had already explained how he hacked Dick's phone, so that all Dick's videos and videos would be directly transferred to his phone for live broadcast.

Superboy: How did you get it?

Superboy: Whoa!

Superboy: Cool!

Red Robin: It's okay, because Dick doesn't care about these things, otherwise I think he would have found out what I did.

Superboy: still great

Superboy: They think you hacked Jason.

Superboy: Psychological Warfare.

Red Robin: I can’t talk about psychological warfare. It’s just because if Jason and Dick travel together, Dick must have more opportunities to take out his mobile phone to take pictures. I think the C/P value of hacked Dick’s mobile phone is relatively high.

Superboy: Like the big hacker! (thumb)

Red Robin: Wait a minute, the Prophet sent an alarm: burglary, there is a hostage situation, I will go to support first.

Superboy: Good!

Superboy: Stay safe.

Superboy: (compare heart)

It wasn't until after the night watch was over that Tim found out that Connor forgot to like the photos of Jason that he had sent in the past. It is the foundation of the foundation, how can you forget it!

Connor quickly responded to Tim's invitation to lecture.

Superboy: No problem, see you there.

Tim nodded in satisfaction. Fortunately, his learning attitude was quite correct, and his hard work was not in vain.

***

Bruce has one or two social events almost every night, sometimes it’s a dinner, sometimes it’s an opening ceremony, and sometimes it’s a short speech for reporters to take a few photos of shaking hands and smiling. Execution becomes extremely difficult.

But he has to participate in these activities.

They are more or less related to Jason's "New Gotham Project". Some are led by Wayne Enterprises, such as the construction of kindergartens and libraries, and some are coordinated by Wayne Enterprises, such as the social housing that the city government is conducting For the construction project, Wayne Enterprises sponsored many builders who contracted the project.

Bruce knew what these plans meant to Jason, and he also hoped that with many efforts, the city could be transformed into a better place than all Gotham people remembered.

Almost everyone who met Bruce on these occasions would congratulate him and tell him that he had a good son who was just like his father at a young age and would definitely be a great philanthropist in the future.

Was he proud of Jason?

The answer is certainly yes.

But as he put on his uniform and looked down at the violent crimes that were going on in the alleys late at night, he couldn't help but think about Jason, about their broken conversation, and thinking about what would happen if someone found out what was going on under the red hood. The secrets that Jason is facing are likely to be hunted down by the state machine, which will allow people like Amanda Waller to take advantage of them.

Whether morality is innate or acquired is still a topic of endless debate, a tooth for a tooth; the law of an eye for an eye has never existed, but he firmly believes that no matter what you do, there must be a bottom line-if you don’t kill people, you are Batman Finally, the bottom line of no retreat.

Even if the vigilantes violated one or another law in the process of fighting crime, at least they didn't take human life, which makes their actions even in the most unfavorable and dangerous situations, and they have the feeling of singing "we are different" Chance.

This was what worried him the most about the Red Hood.Jason thought he was worried about whether his child would turn into a murderous, cold-blooded, crazy murderer-he didn't worry about that at all.Even Damian, who was raised and educated in the League of Assassins, is confident that that child will never become a lunatic who kills people for fun.

He completely believes that Jason has a bottom line and restraint, but the line is too unclear. What if he makes a wrong decision and kills someone who is not mortal even by Jason's own standards?Bruce definitely doesn't want to see this burden on any of his children. Killing a hundred criminals is justice, but killing a person who is not very innocent but not deadly is enough to break a good person .

And each of his children is a rare pure and upright soul in the world.

Even if he dies, Bruce doesn't want to see the children bear the scars that can never be healed because of this one in ten thousand chance.

"Master Bruce, the purpose of prohibiting the night watch until dawn is to allow you to have a relatively normal life." Alfred looked at Bruce who had changed into pajamas and sat on the bed but did not sleep well, "It is not for you to change into another Places to stay up late, and you've been looking at your photo album for an hour, and I'm pretty sure it'll still be there when you open your eyes in the morning."

Under Alfred's gaze, Bruce obediently closed the photo album and put it beside the bed, frowning at the name on the cover, not out of anger, but out of unshakable worry.

"Why do you think they grow up, Fu?" Bruce sighed, pulling his eyes away from the photo album, "It was so cute when they were young, I would spend my whole life worrying about whether they ate too many snacks or kicked the quilt Or fight with classmates at school."

The butler nodded in agreement, walked to the bed and tucked Bruce's quilt: "That's true, sir. At least when they were young, you don't need to worry about whether they are still wandering outside in the middle of the night, whether they will bring them I couldn’t go home with injuries.”

Bruce looked at the old man in front of him, when did Ah Fu change to another pair of reading glasses?Or a better question - since when did Ah Fu stop reading glasses from the bridge of his nose?

Ah, the fact that Jason wasn't home was starting to make him sentimental.

"Afu." Bruce lay in the warm blanket, waiting for Afu's response as he did when he was a child.

"What's the matter, Master Bruce?" Bruce couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly due to the steward's decades-long answers.

"It's nothing...Did I say thank you? And I'm sorry, my current life is definitely not the one you expected at the beginning. You must be quite disappointed." Bruce has always known this elder who took care of him since he was a child , the most hopeful thing is that he will live a normal entrepreneur's life, busy and fulfilling, but it has nothing to do with fighting crime.

Alfred still has that incomprehensible expression. Those who say that Batman is mysterious should really come to see Alfred and let them know what it means to be truly invisible.

"I have to admit, sir, your career plan has deviated greatly from my original idea." Afu's words made Bruce smile bitterly in his heart, "But, despite this, I am still very proud of you. Good dream , Master Bruce."

The butler smiled with mixed emotions at the young master he had grown up with, and to this day, Bruce felt that he had finally begun to understand the meaning behind that smile.

"Good night, Fu."
