[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

It took a bit of effort, but Jason finally figured out that they were now in Metropolis, across the river from Gotham—the geographical location hadn't changed.

At the same time, Jason and Damian agreed that before taking action, they must first figure out what is different in this universe, so as to find a way to return home with the least cost.

"Okay, now we're sure Superman exists, but apparently didn't start his Blue Scout career."

Jason spread out a copy of the Daily Planet, which reported in detail how Superman bravely repelled this powerful enemy who also came from Krypton after General Zod posed a threat to the survival of mankind. Born as a person on earth, but as long as he has a soul that loves this planet, Superman is undoubtedly an "earth person"——Louise Lane.

"He's not even married to Ryan yet!" Damian didn't know why, and expressed great disappointment that Superman was not married yet.

"All in all, this Superman is a novice hero. I don't think we can get any useful clues from him, unless he is willing to let us go to the Fortress of Solitude to check the Kryptonian Encyclopedia." Jason picked up a thick marker pen and wrote on Superman's photo With a big cross, "I don't know about you, but I personally don't think: 'Hey, first time meeting, Clark. We are the sons of your best friends in the parallel universe, and want to borrow your Kryptonian Use the computer!' is an appropriate opening line."

While wiping his samurai|knife, Damian narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Or we can kidnap..."

"No. We didn't intend to kidnap anyone." Jason rolled his eyes, and directly rejected Damian's proposal, "I don't have enough kryptonite bullets on hand, and the risk of angering Da Chao in this situation too high."

"We can get kryptonite anytime, as long as it's hacked..." Damian suggested again.

"No. We don't want the bank account of Black Wayne Enterprises." Jason rejected the other party's proposal again, and rejected Damian's alternative plan as well, "The corporate account or the personal account of the cracked Bruce no!"

"What's wrong with you!" Damian, who was constantly rejected, finally reached the limit of patience.

Damian likes Jason, not only because Talia has used the stories of Batman and Robin (Jason) to establish him as a hero worthy of admiration since he was a child, but also because Jason is a man other than Alfred. It's rare that he doesn't frown on his assassin background, as if he will lose control and become a member of a crazy killer in a second.

Although this situation has improved a lot, especially when Bruce didn't know what he had realized, he ordered a set of "lethal force" with Jason, which was stinky and long, and the various applicable conditions of the exception clause were complicated enough to make people want to commit suicide on the spot. "Use the treaty", and successfully forced Jason out of Gotham again, not daring to go home to eat, the huge improvement almost made Damian feel like "my whole family is reborn, except me" The illusion of the context of the web text.

But everyone knows that icing on the cake is always better than giving charcoal in the snow.After going back and forth like this, if Damian's affection for relatives and friends is represented by a bar chart, Jason's leverage is definitely far ahead of others, and only Alfred can compete with him .

But that doesn't mean Damian will hang around Jason because of this, he is the man who will lead Wayne Enterprises in the future... boy.He can also go crazy!

"Why on earth don't you want to go to Gotham? Don't tell me it's because of Batman's jaw!" Damian said with an expression of not wanting to give up without giving any reason, "I think we should go directly to the Batcave. Based on how familiar the two of us are with the Batcave, it won't be too difficult to stealthily obtain information on the Batcomputer. Besides, if anyone can unlock the method to parallel the Earth, it must be Batman."

"Whatever you say, I won't go." Jason snorted stubbornly, looking down at the newspaper and playing the crossword puzzle without looking at Damian, "For this world, the first time aliens appeared on humans Up front, the result is that half of Metropolis is going to be demolished-this is the result of a fight between two aliens. If this Batman is half as suspicious as our Batman over there, he must be thinking about killing Superman now One hundred and one ways. Talk to him about parallel universes at this juncture, and you are more likely to be locked up as an alien spy."

"Then I'll go by myself!" Damian grabbed his equipment bag not to be outdone, and rushed out the door with arrogance and arrogance. The loud noise of slamming the door made the residents next door rush out to scold their mothers. This is Jason comparing prices. After repeated attempts to find the cheapest motel, the door that seemed to have been ravaged by countless guests｜to half its life, after Damian's torment, it seemed that its life was directly reduced by two-thirds.

Jason continued to solve the crossword puzzle alone. When the last letter was filled in the grid, the door was thrown open again, and a gloomy Damian who could drip ink appeared at the door. With the speed of one step wishing to break it into three small steps, he walked up to Jason and stretched out his hand.

"Don't you want to go to Gotham?" Jason took the time to fold the newspaper in half and then in half. When the page was only one palm wide, he picked it up and used it as a fan. Even the air conditioners in cheap hotels are dying. " Are you back so soon?"

Damian murmured something, but Jason didn't hear clearly, he just shook his outstretched hand twice, straightening it even more straight.

"Lend... lend me 200 yuan." When Damian said this, his face seemed to be slapped by the residents of Akhan in turn, "I will pay you back later!"

"Well, I thought you were going to walk all the way, it's not far, you can walk there in about two days?" Jason's mouth curved upwards, the darker Damian's face became, "200 yuan, Take an Uber, huh?"

"To borrow or not to borrow, in a word!" The shame of being manipulated by someone for the first time made Damian on the verge of breaking out. Jason had no doubt that if he shook his head and said no, this kid would really walk away with his head held high. Go to Gotham.

I don't know when it started, and sighing with his forehead is about to become one of his signature moves-Jason even had a hunch that according to the speed at which the black question mark picture went from unknown to everyone on the Internet, his Wayne Second Young Master Fu forehead emoji package is not far away.

"Going to Gotham?" Jason angrily threw the newspaper into the wastebasket across the room, patted his trouser legs and stood up, "Okay!"

When Damian's eyes lit up and his proud little chest was puffed out to shout victory, Jason suddenly leaned in front of him and raised an index finger: "One condition, the first thing you do when you arrive in Gotham is to find a blessing."

"Pennyworth and this..." Damian's question was interrupted abruptly and without room for negotiation by Jason, "There is no reason, you proposed your transaction terms, and I proposed mine, it's up to you Accept it or not."

Obviously, Damian didn't want to accept the deal, but he didn't want to walk all the way to Gotham either-there were no buses or trains to get to Gotham in the Metropolis, and he walked on the Transit alone. The police will definitely be attracted on the river bridge, and he will get a ride... The cash on his body is suspicious even when he leaves the metropolis.

Frankly speaking, he has little condition to bargain.

"Alright." Damian nodded solemnly, "Look for Pennyworth first."

"You're smart, little prince." Jason grinned with two rows of shining white teeth, reached out to ruffle his hair amidst Damian's protest, picked up his own equipment and carried Damian out of them A dilapidated temporary base in the metropolis.

Baptized by Damian's shocked eyes, Jason managed to get them a ride—it wasn't the kind of car whose driver looked fair, kind and good citizen, but with a fleshy face and a special necklace hanging around his neck. Thick gold necklace, the smell of nicotine comes out of the mouth as soon as he opens his mouth, and the words "I am a social person" are written from hair to toenails.The back seat of that horrible car was so dirty that Damian almost couldn't help but spread a handkerchief before sitting in it, but Jason could sit in the passenger seat and chat with their driver all the way across the Delaware River. .

Damian still felt that he was covered in the stench until he got out of the car. Compared with Jason's relaxed expression, it seemed that the small broken car just now was no different from a high-end Bentley.

"I can't believe you actually..." Damian rubbed a stain on his sleeve in disbelief that looked like it might have been picked up when he hitched a ride, "How can you degrade yourself to that level!"

"Well, believe it or not, but I really don't care that much about whether the car running down the bottom is a million-dollar car or a refurbished car hauled back from the scrap metal factory next door-as long as it can achieve the goal. When resources are abundant, I can Why use the highest specification and use scrap iron hypocritically to wrong yourself? But now the two of us have pawned all our bodies for only a few cents, so if you don’t use me to slap your face and call him fat, who will you show me?” Jason asked with a serious face. The upright appearance of the matter made Damian choked speechless, "Besides, uncle is pretty nice, isn't he? He didn't intend to charge us for gas money, so I have to say that he let me use the head to settle the money." Pay him."

"I'm pretty sure that's because his mathematical calculation ability is not enough for him to perform such complex calculations." Damian rolled his eyes, and if the "lower classes" like the driver were placed in their own world, Probably will never enter Damian's sight for the rest of his life, not even a chance of passing him by.

"Maybe." Jason was noncommittal to Damian's contempt, "But think about it, he can completely kill us, let alone say that you can kill him instantly, from the standpoint of ordinary people, If he was greedy, he could definitely lock the car door and threaten us not to pay and not get out of the car, but he didn't do that."

"I used to hate things like blood, class, and fame." Walking on the streets of Gotham, Jason skillfully avoided the gang of teenage pickpockets approaching them, without grabbing one of them and shouting Thief, "I thought there was nothing good about those 'superior people' until Dad showed up, and there were others. I found out that the superior and inferior people are actually the same. Rather than being a superior person, it is better to be a worthy of yourself." People with a conscience are more practical."

Damian also wanted to retort with what he had learned for many years: "You are the descendant of Wayne and O. Gu, your extraordinary birth means you have an extraordinary mission", but Jason slapped him The pat on the back turned the unspoken words into a series of coughs choked on by saliva.

"Relax, little prince." Jason said jokingly, comparing the height difference between the two of them, "When our eyes are on the same level, you can show the vicissitudes of the old nobleman."

This kind of relaxed laughter can't last long. At the gate of Wayne's mansion, the two people's legs have almost become four wooden sticks. In front of Wayne Mansion, which was deserted like a haunted house, a frightened mouse fell from the window lattice and screamed.

Not to mention the fact that there are really only bat caves left.

"What should we do now?" Damian's tone was devoid of any fighting force, only a flat-panel reading, "I don't think we can go to the gate of Wayne Enterprises to brush our faces in this parallel world."

"Unless we break our jaws now, it's impossible." Jason looked up at the densely packed bats, wondering whether the bats should be roasted or boiled. The boiled meat should be more tender, "Look, I said coming to Gotham was a bad idea! Bad start."

"Then what good idea do you have?" Damian was holding two pairs of Robin darts in his hand, and he spotted the two that were far away from the bats, but he was very hesitant to make a move. Why did he ask Jason to go to the coffee shop? What about locking T-bats in a hotel?If you have brought it, you can eat Drake's Bat Sacrifice Wu Zang Temple now, he will definitely not feel bad!Definitely don't think Drake's bat is particularly cute!

Jason took out his gun and aimed at the two fattest looking ones, but the flash of the bat's face in his mind made him completely unable to pull the trigger: "I was going to go to Central City, if the Justice League hadn't formed If so, The Flash should still be a CSI in Central City, I left 300 yuan to subsidize his meal expenses, and see if he can use his legs to run the two of us back to the original world."

"That's right, the parallel universe is a special project of the Flash... Wait, you mean you have three hundred on you besides the money you took out to pay the fare?" Damian realized the important key, "Then Why are we here fighting over bats for dinner!"

"I'd rather be hungry than send us to the wrong Earth because I didn't feed The Flash and he fell flat on a calorie deficit." Jason said plausibly, and it would be more convincing if his stomach didn't growl at the same time.

"Your Flash better send us back!"

"It's not 'my' Flash, I really want to have a Flash, Speed ​​is a cheating tool, Arsenal, Starfire, Artemis, and Bizarro, think about it if I have another in my team With a speedster—what a great thing we can do!"

"I don't look forward to the day when your crazy teammates meet."

"Come on, Rice, they're a bunch of good guys - all have their own little problems, but overall good guys, man, I really want to recruit a Lightning."

The two brothers dawdled back to the main road, but the three hundred yuan was not taken out as food money after all, thanks to the years in Crime Alley and the understanding of the charity kitchens in Gotham.

——Even the fearless bully Damian didn't dare touch the sesame oil money they went home.
