[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

Central City is located at the junction of Northwest Missouri and Kansas, and is known as the Twin Cities with Keystone City in Kansas. Since the day when Jason's life began to appear various heroes, vigilantes, mad scientists and various supernatural villains From the beginning, it has always belonged to the jurisdiction of the Lightning Family.

This is actually an interesting concept. Heroes and vigilantes guard different cities, and each other silently abides by the rules of non-interference. Superman will not fly to Gotham to stop the robbery, and neither will Batman. Because Gotham was relatively peaceful, he ran to Bluehaven to intervene in Nightwing's activities.

Even most of the well-known villains have their own "special" heroes or vigilantes, such as The Flash and the rogue gang, such as Batman and the inhabitants of Arkham.Only in rare cases did these villains join forces across cities, but when that happened, it was an exception to the non-intervention pact between the cities, and it was time for everyone to join forces to bring down the villains.

In Jason's mind, compared to the lunatics in Arkham, the rogue gang in Central City are simply a group of rare animals that need to be carefully cared for.What kind of criminals still have rules like "don't kill unless necessary" and "never touch drugs"!He's a model criminal, isn't he?Can the cold team go to Arkham to explain the rules of the world to the group of bastards who kidnap, blow up power plants, or poison water sources at every turn!

Jason's impression of Central City's weather is much better than Gotham's. As long as it's not raining, you can see the blue sky when you look up. Unlike Gotham, which is always gray, it's hard to tell whether it's thick clouds or serious air pollution.But the central city of this universe...it can’t really be called how sunny it is. There is a sense of oppression everywhere in the air. The people on the road with their heads down seem to be escaping from something. Even before it’s dark, the number of people on the road has already begun to decrease. , The patrolling police also looked dignified.

"I once seriously considered coming to Central City to develop myself in order to enjoy the good weather for a few more days." On the way to CCPD, Jason put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the gray sky, the corners of his mouth collapsed in frustration, " Is everything in this universe like this

Can't it be gray? "

"Since it's for the weather, I should go to San Diego." The non-stop work and night change from New Jersey to Missouri made the baby fat on Damian's face fade away, thanks to the League of Assassins and Batman. Exercise has given him a strong physique, otherwise Jason would have been arrested for child abuse on the way. What are you thinking about?"

Jason shrugged, avoiding Damian's scrutiny by adjusting the action of the luggage bag: "I think about a lot of things, for example, I'm thinking right now if our code names have to be forced to use the names of birds, I personally prefer 'eastern bluebird' to the old man's 'bluejay'."

"This forced topic-changing technique is good, so I'll pretend to be hooked first." Damian nodded appreciatively, in exchange for Jason's "Are you serious?" look, "Why this little blue bird? Corvids are both intelligent and ferocious, and I can understand my father choosing this species as your code name, compared to your choice, which is really... unremarkable."

"It's right to be ordinary, you still have something to learn, my young apprentice." Jason cleared his throat, and put on a posture of the Jedi Masters in Star Wars, "Compared to heroes, We're more of a vigilante, you know which vigilante has made himself so colorful that he can't wait to bring a spotlight? Well, except Dickie Bird, you can't expect a guy who makes his uniform into a disco outfit to know what a Low-key. Besides, the blue bird also has a red breast, which is the same color as the robin, so it has the meaning of inheriting the past!"

Damian glanced at Jason silently, with an emotion called sympathy in his eyes.

"Say what you have to say." Jason said, patting the back of Damian's head, "Don't show me any weird little eyes."

"If you insist." Damian didn't seem to mind the slap on his head from Jason at all, instead he squinted his eyes and smiled maliciously, making Jason start to wonder if he had done something very wrong. Bad decision, "I was just wondering if all the reasons you just gave—about low profile, about the symbolic meaning of these two birds—are really just memes."

"What the hell." Jason swallowed, and subconsciously clenched the strap of the bag on his shoulder with his right hand.

"If you can't get rid of the cat ears, how can you change the code name of the stalk in a logical way." Damian said, putting his hands on both sides of his head to imitate the cat's pointed ears, plus the smug expression on his face. How to make Jason want to press his head into the wall next to him.

Even brothers wouldn't step on someone's painful feet like this!I can't bear it, little bastard, I will let my brother teach you how to be a human being today... Cough, I'll teach you later.

The door of CCPD has arrived.

"Okay, here's the plan—we went in, acted naturally, and said we were looking for Barry Allen." Jason began to rehearse the next course of action for the last time.

"If the officers inside ask us who we are, say we're his friends, and if they ask us for names—" Jason gestured "please" to Damian, and Damian responded graciously. Take it.

"Alberd Swan, what name can attract him more than the old enemy of the Flash, whether it is true or not, he will want to know our connection with that name." Damian clasped his hands in his arms. Looking at the entrance of CCPD, he raised his eyebrows, "Then according to your plan, we only need to explain the cause and effect to The Flash, and let him help us go home, and we're done—assuming we haven't been directly hit by Lightspeed Fist before that. die."

"Oh, please! This is The Flash!" Jason's expression and tone seemed like Damian said something ridiculous, "I've been stealing his snack cabinet since I was as tall as you, you Know how important junk food is to their family? I was only in Teen Titans for a short period of time, so short that I only managed to steal Wally's chocolate bar once, and Dickie caught me by mistake, I'm already I ate half of the chocolate, and the two of them snatched back the half I bitten, barely forcing me to spit out the half in my stomach! In comparison, I haven’t been caught by Barry until now. Kill me, I think he must like me very much."

Damian carefully observed the expression on Jason's face, as if to confirm that the other party was not making fun of him, and finally gave Jason a look of "you are happy" as if giving up.

"Just... get rid of this quickly, okay?" Damian said, walking up the steps of CCPD first.

The first police officer who was stopped by Jason asked him to repeat the request with a puzzled face: "Again, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for a 'Barry Allen', no?" Jason frowned, and slowed down to read out Barry's long and awkward full name, "Bartholomew Henry Allen, he Should it be the CSI here?"

"Do we have a CSI named Alan here?" The police officer walked towards his colleague, one puzzled expression suddenly turned into two.

"Sorry, there is no CSI with the surname Allen here. You probably found the wrong station." With just such a sentence, the policeman politely and firmly invited Jason and Damian out of the police station.

——Their scripts are all unscripted after the first line.

Damian felt that it was time to show off his outstanding detective skills in front of Jason and let him know that Drake's little tricks were not worth mentioning at all!

Iron Mountain Prison will be the beginning of everything.

"Let me tell you first, I'm not trying to discourage you, but..." Jason was sitting on the sofa covered with plastic sheets, holding his cheek with one hand on his knee, listening to Damian's description of how he expected to enter Iron Mountain Prison , to get Barry’s news through Henry Allen, "Is it really necessary to be so dramatic? You sound like a villain who is going to conspire to frame the protagonist! Don't be so dramatic?"

Damian was holding a stack of advertising leaflets of different sizes and colors. He managed to collect so many sheets of paper with blank backs that could

Writing down his meticulous action plan, such hardworking and frugal efforts were evaluated by Jason as a villain, and from the tone of the other party, it sounded like the kind that could be cannon fodder at any time, Damian felt unconvinced.

"Let me tell you first, I'm not trying to discourage you, but..." Damian Yong is exactly the same as Jason, the only difference is that one of their voices is deep, and the other has a high voice that has not yet changed. They all responded with almost the same expression, "As a minor who does not need to bear criminal responsibility legally, I must point out that we are in a house that has just been renovated and is waiting to be sold. Strictly speaking, this is also illegal trespass-just a reminder, there is no Malicious, you don't want to be arrested and imprisoned in the parallel universe, let your poor 'villain' brother live alone in a foreign land."

Jason stared dumbfounded at Damian's imitation: "I'm 100% sure I don't deserve that much beating." Before Damian was about to start a new round of performance, Jason quickly changed his words, "But I fully understand what you want to express I mean, that's a good idea, well done, Rice."

"Save the compliments until I help you find your Flash." Damian rubbed his fists in the direction of Iron Mountain Prison.

When Jason and Damian picked the lock on the door where Barry was staying, he couldn't believe how things went so smoothly——

The interviews of prisoners in the prison are restricted. According to the severity of the crimes committed, the frequency of interviews with outsiders and the identity of the interviewees are different.Some relatively minor criminals can frequently meet outsiders, and their identities may not necessarily be family members, but may also be relatives and friends.

But if they are serious criminals, they can only interview family members, and the frequency should not be too high.Henry Allen was prosecuted for killing his wife and refused to plead guilty during the trial. Therefore, he was sentenced to life imprisonment.

That is to say, Jason and the others only need to find out which day recently someone applied to see Henry Allen, and remove the group that obviously does not match the age and gender from the small group of people who came to the prison, so as to minimize their The scope of tracing, after all, the only son of Henry Allen's family is Barry.

As for how to obtain the materials for applying for a meeting, don’t forget that the prison is open to apply for visits. Just enter the gate of the prison and disappear from the small visiting group for a few minutes to peek at the materials. For the vigilantes of the bat house It's just a piece of cake.

After several layers of screening, the black-haired young man who looked a bit shy, never made eye contact with people around him unless necessary, but would secretly take revenge at his own speed when he was in a hurry (yes, not blond, but thinking about the Batman of this universe, Jason was quick to let go), and there was no doubt that this was the "Bartholomew Henry Allen" they were looking for.

Having found the man of interest and finding his lair, is it still far for the two detectives?

So Jason is carefully observing The Flash's uniform in this universe. Obviously, he has a high level of craftsmanship - this handmade uniform says it all!

"This sense of design is completely my thing!" Jason looked at the uniform that was closer to armor than the uniform, but overall more elastic and fit better than the armor, "I would pay a lot of money to ask him to help I made a set, and I really don’t lie.”

"Really!" A strange voice sounded, the Barry Allen of this universe was standing at the door, looking at Jason expectantly, "How much are you willing to pay?"

"Well...it depends on the material. Is yours made of precision ceramics? The concept of the space shuttle, to reduce friction, I hope it will be stronger. This can be discussed. The Kevlar part of the fabric can't run Yes, the problem is the way you fix it...is that wire?"

"Uh, yeah. I tried adhesive but... I don't want to recall that, and I can't find a better alternative at the moment, so... well, that's it!" Barry hopped up to him Beside his uniform, he frowned and thought together with Jason, and suddenly seemed to realize something, turned around and tilted his head to stare at Jason and asked, "Sir, who are you?"

"Cough, have you ever heard of Batman?" Jason clenched a fist with one hand and put it next to his mouth and gave a fake cough.

Barry's eyes widened, and he nodded desperately: "I heard it, wait, you mean... there is really a Batman! Right, I know that Batman is not an urban legend. Batman really exists. God, this is really amazing. Cool! Ah, sorry, keep going."

"Batman, my father." Jason said, poking his chest with his thumb, motioning Damian to throw his hood over. "The kid over there, Robin, my brother."

"Wow!" Barry looked at Damian cooperatively and exclaimed.

Jason put on his red hood, lifted his coat slightly to reveal the two guns hanging from his waist, "I—"

"Catman!" Barry snapped back with a reaction worthy of the Speed ​​Force. "Gotham has Catwoman in addition to Batman! I know! Man, this is so cool!"

Jason found that since he came to this universe, his strongest desire was to go back to the past and strangle himself.

Now that the Flash is here, he should be able to go back in time and destroy the origin of the cat ears in the cradle, right?

It's ok... right?
