[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

Jason sat on the floor of the Batcave in an extremely indecent posture, with the heels of his palms resting on his forehead, and took several deep breaths in a row before he felt the dizziness in his head subside a little.

"I can't believe it." When he was speaking, he still didn't take his hands away from his eyes, which was the only barrier against him and this terrible reality, "Don't mess around with the timeline, isn't it the first step for you speedsters to get started? class?"

"I'm pretty sure it was Swann, the plot to take away my speed force and make me miserable as I watched the world die." Barry said as if he had witnessed the reverse. At the scene where Lightning carried out the criminal plan, he was holding on to the Reverse Lightning uniform that fell out of the ring where he stored the uniform, as if he had grasped the ironclad evidence, "As long as I can regain the speed force, I can regain the speed force." The timeline correction is back!"

"I still can't believe such absurd things." Batman—or Thomas Wayne should be more properly called him, was rummaging through the mess of cabinets, and finally dug out a bottle from the bottom. The unfinished whiskey immediately unscrewed the bottle cap and took two big gulps, "You come from a world completely different from this one. Aquaman and Wonder Woman are two war lunatics who are wreaking havoc all over the world. It's a hero, Bruce is not only alive, but he has such a big son... I have a grandson, God! The world is going to be fucked."

Barry was studying the Reverse Lightning uniform coming out of the lightning ring, and replied without looking up: "Not one, but four. And I have never had a chance to ask, what's the problem with the smallest one? Why did you tell him Do you always feel despised when you speak?"

"Dami is very good, but he likes to stick to words when he speaks. I think it is a matter of habit. English is not his mother tongue, so he is still adjusting to the difference between written and spoken language. Don't use too much slang or puns when talking to him. Young people also need to save face, and when he doesn't understand, his attitude will be bad, you are a mature adult, Barry, can you be more considerate to Rice?" Jason pointedly pointed out how to communicate with Damian The key point even pointed out how to observe the degree of frowning of the other party to judge whether it is helpful to understand in other words.

Feeling the pressure from Brother Bat, Barry could only promise again and again that he would keep these secrets in mind, but the grievance in his heart still forced him to struggle and refute himself: "But I was eating snacks at the time, and I didn't say anything. , just ask him if he wants to share some..." Could it be because his mouth is too full that he can't speak clearly?

"Oh." Jason showed an expression of sudden realization, "That's okay, he's probably just despising your eating habits, and Daomi attaches great importance to etiquette, he's such a good boy."

For some reason, Barry felt the urge to hug the quilt and cry.

The devil, the Wayne family is all devils!

The third person in the Batcave, Thomas, who should be the owner of the base but has silently become part of the background, felt that he had seen the "bullet screen" that the young people said now, sprinting wildly in his mind, using various Various fonts with special effects occupy the layout: "Grandson, there are four!"

"Strictly speaking, Dalan and Xiaohong became wards because the old man picked up children everywhere. They still have their own parents and mothers. Have you asked them about their wishes?" That being said, everyone— Including Jason himself acquiesced to the setting of "the four young masters of the Wayne family", even though in his heart he felt that Dick was more like the old mother of the Wayne family, and Tim was a dangerous Stoka under the supervision of Batman. .

After Thomas received the new information, the barrage in his head became more cheerful: "Bruce likes children!", "My Bruce is really a warm man full of love!", "Papa and the children's warm family activities! "

So happy, is that world a paradise?

Just helping this man who claims to travel through time so fast can fix this hopeless timeline and bring his Bruce back to life with a chance to grow up, have a family of his own, friends and... whatever the future of this world.

"There's one thing I don't understand. Why are you here?" Barry looked at Jason in puzzlement. Even without the super fast thinking of the Flash period, Barry Allen's observation ability as a criminal forensic officer was still Having the ability to reason doesn't go away with, "How do you exist in this timeline if the Bruce of this timeline is... gone? There is no basis for your existence, and 'Jason Wayne' should enter This timeline should be eliminated in time."

Barry's question chilled Thomas's heart which had been warmed up just now.

"Indeed, how do you know that this world, as you said, is the result of a change in the timeline, and there is still room for correction, instead of you accidentally coming to another...parallel world?" Thomas deliberately avoided Jason's sight , asked Barry.

"Because I have memories of two timelines at the same time! If this is a parallel universe, there should be another 'Barry Allen' here, and my memory will be separate from his. This is not the case now, I remember in In the original world, my mother passed away when I was a child, but now I also remember in this world, every birthday I spent with my mother since I was a child, and every movie and ball game I watched." Barry shook hard Shaking his head, as if trying to get rid of the two chaotic memories in his head, "So this must be a new timeline that has been tampered with, and it is about to replace my original world!"

"But that still doesn't explain Jason's existence."

The aggressive attitude of Thomas when he questioned was enough to make Gotham's big and small villains scream for cover to avoid being shot, but for the two who were already accustomed to the bat-like bad temper, it didn't affect the discussion at all.Barry continued to close his eyes and meditate, while Jason had already jumped up and started picking up the empty wine bottles that rolled down in the Batcave, while whispering words to challenge Thomas' living habits.

Such a scene almost reminded Thomas of Alfred, the butler who had been silently and firmly supporting the Wayne family after the unfortunate incident that year, until the family could no longer maintain stability without Bruce. The illusion, after a complete breakdown, he still chose to stay.

It was the day Thomas decided to become Batman, and he personally invited Alfred away with a generous pension.From time to time, he still remembered the expression on the other party's face as if he had been punched hard, and the last sentence at the time of parting: "No matter what you want to do, please take care, Mr. Wayne."

In Jason's world, Alfred must still be busy in the mansion upstairs!

He looked up and swallowed the last sip of wine in the bottle, and when he was about to throw the empty bottle to a far corner as usual, he was immediately covered by a shadow, and he raised his head to meet a pair of dissatisfied green eyes. The owner was holding a large cardboard box filled with new or old empty wine bottles. Seeing that Thomas had stopped littering, the owner nodded in satisfaction and shook the cardboard box to signal Thomas to take the empty wine bottles that had just been produced. Put the bottle in.

"Well, very good." Sending an approving look to Thomas, who obediently followed the instructions, Jason carried a large box of empty bottles familiarly, and climbed the stairs all the way to Wayne upstairs. In the mansion, Thomas, who was relieved, and Barry, who stared and didn't speak, just watched.

It wasn't until Jason's back disappeared into the entrance and exit behind the grandfather clock that Thomas sighed in a low voice: "Why is this kid so scary? It must be the influence of his mother. What kind of wife did Bruce find?"

"Uh, I can't say much about Jason's mother, but Bruce is often scary..." Barry felt that he was telling the truth with his conscience in his hands, but he received stares and clacks from Thomas. Threat of broken joints.

According to the still aching stomach, Barry's will to survive made him make the right choice: "I mean, it's quite scary, how can someone be so good."

After getting a quilt and a dinner that Jason emptied out of Wayne House’s food reserves, Barry repeatedly told himself that in order to survive in this terrible timeline, he must absolutely stick to Batman is justice and Bruce’s super powers. The stick, and the birds of the bat family are the three most lovable principles in the universe.

No one can guarantee that if he makes a mistake, that old Mr. Wayne will not "bang bang!" him in the middle of the night.

Ah, by comparison, Bruce is really awesome!

Help him find his son in the future, and he will never complain again.

***

Jason watched Thomas' Batman leave the mansion in the night. He wondered if this Gotham was full of all kinds of crazy criminals like his Gotham, but if the city also needed "Batman", The answer is probably yes.

Taking advantage of the time waiting for the computer in Thomas's study to turn on, Jason picked the lock of the master bedroom connected to the study. Compared with Bruce, Thomas's preservation of the mansion is so amateurish that Jason is very worried about him, but having said that, Judging from the degree of desertion here, this is probably an unnecessary worry.

What made Jason curious was that there was no trace of Martha Wayne here.

If Bruce was the one who died in Crime Alley, then Martha should still be alive.Maybe she went back to her mother's house?It's not uncommon for a couple to be unable to continue their relationship because of a family tragedy, but judging by the mess in the master bedroom, it doesn't look like a peacefully separated couple.

In the cloakroom, there are still haute couture women's clothing hanging in the cloakroom, and all the women's accessories are left in their original places. The medicine bottles behind the bathroom mirror are full of antidepressant prescriptions that Martha is taking, all of which have expired for nearly 20 years.What disturbed Jason the most was that on the floor facing the French windows of the master bedroom, there was a pool of dark marks that looked like dried blood.

The threads almost piece together a heartbroken mother on the verge of a physical and mental breakdown after her son's violent death, making a terrible decision, and her husband locking up the room full of memories between husband and wife, retreating to the dark and dank bat Cave stories.

The sound of the computer booting successfully brought Jason back to the study.There is no Wayne Enterprise here that specializes in new technologies, only Wayne Casino, which makes money from wealthy gamblers (Thomas still needs to have enough money to support the supply of ammunition), so this computer is just a common machine on the market. This kind, even some years old, made Jason, who was used to the computing speed of various black technologies, want to smash it several times.

Regarding the Flash's refutation of the theory that this is a parallel space, Jason actually has his own ideas.

This world is a new universe that diverges from a certain critical point in time after the timeline is modified. Therefore, there are two versions of memory in Barry's brain. When only one version of his memory remains, it will be this When the universe is officially independent from the original timeline.

In other words, this world is between the timeline changes and independent parallel universes.

And Jason Wayne, in his own universe, existed as "Jason Todd" for a long time.

If his assumption is correct, then there must be a "Jason Todd" in this world. At this moment, Jason seems to be in an immature system with the existence of the "code" of "Todd". BUG, once the system has perfected itself, Jason will definitely be cleared from the root when debugging.

"Found it!" Jason smiled triumphantly, and clicked on the news link that popped up on the search page: "The Church of Gotham City appeals to the public to help young people released from prison return to society."

Such a good mood only lasted until another "Jason Todd" wearing a priest's costume and looking at the camera with a compassionate smile appeared on the webpage.

A conversation he had with Damian a long time ago came to mind:

"You can't let Drake see you in priest's attire. His perverted mind must have all the obscene thoughts of pinning you on the altar."

And the big box under Tim's bed, the quality and quantity of the photography portfolio is amazing.

Jason makes the big decision of his life: "This world is absolutely wrong! Don't fucking stay!"

Red Hood, enter world destruction mode.
