[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

It had been a few months since The Flash's hero training started, and Jason wondered from the bottom of his heart whether it was the mental illness of their Bat family, or this Barry Allen's nerves were particularly delicate.

He can understand that an ordinary person who has been an ordinary person for half his life will be at a loss when he suddenly gets superpowers.After all, most people are used to avoiding conflicts in their daily lives. It is unrealistic to ask Barry to stand up and shout: "Everyone stop! If you have any opinions, come to me!"

But then again, when Jason himself was a puppet, he wasn't so repulsive about beating bad guys up.It's not just him, Tim is a model student who fits the template of a good kid except for Stoka's faults, and he still picks up a stick and hits the enemy's face, I don't think he has any psychological pressure.

"You really, really don't have to worry about them hitting you. It's just a bunch of thieves—look at them, who still robs with stockings and hoods these days." Jason felt like he was giving a speech to a child before a speech contest. A teacher of psychological construction, but his suggestion is not "treat the audience below as melons", but more unsuitable for children, "You treat them as the hamburger steak we are going to fry at night, take out the one you slapped the hamburger meat It’s right to slap them with all your strength, it’s so simple.”

Barry put on his uniform and kept walking nervously.Opposite them is a bank, the door is surrounded by police cars, the police and the robbers in the bank are negotiating the conditions for the release of the hostages.

"Okay, okay, pat the hamburger meat..." Barry mechanically repeated what Jason said, took a deep breath and was about to rush out, the robbers in the bank fired shots into the air without warning, and He threatened that if the police did not help him prepare transportation, he would start killing hostages.

The foot that Barry stepped out just now was retracted, and the whole body was stuck to the wall of the alley and shook his head desperately: "No, no, no, this is too exciting. I can't help it. Why am I here? I shouldn't be here!"

"Come on, how many times have you practiced?" Jason resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and kept his tone in a positive and optimistic direction, "You said you wanted to be a hero and help the citizens, right? Then You have to take action, don't forget that Damian and I are here to watch, if something unexpected happens, we will help."

"I really want to help the people, but can't we start with the basics?" Barry counted down the things he hated or feared with his fingers, "I'm afraid of bugs, I'm afraid of guns—the robber still has something in his hand. There's an extra-large one—I'm afraid of tall and strong people!"

Jason kept his mouth shut, choosing to raise his weapon and puff his chest out.

He seemed to hear Barry groaning as he rushed out.

The Flash took down a third-rate bank robber in his Canterlot debut, and he did a decent job overall, if only he didn't slip and almost fall himself when he stormed into the bank because the floor suddenly turned into smooth marble tiles.

When Barry went to Iron Mountain Prison to visit his father as usual, Damian came to Jason with a sad expression. will be hacked), the pain on Damian’s face seemed to have witnessed the moment when all the bats in the batcave died suddenly, the expression was so solemn that Jason didn’t notice that the account book on his lap slipped off down.

"I failed you, brother." Damian's first words made Jason feel chills all over his body, and everyone stood up with goosebumps.

He straightened his sitting posture, knowing that if Damian chooses to "plead guilty" so solemnly, then now is definitely not the time to be joking, especially when he understands Damian's self-esteem that breaks through the atmosphere, so he should take the initiative to bow his head and admit his mistakes , or this attitude of directly hitting the red heart without a trace of reluctance, no matter what Damian thinks in his heart-it must be a big deal.

"You delivered a task, but I couldn't achieve it." Damian said, his clenched fists even kept shaking, "I can't train Allen to be a Flash enough to travel through the universe, as a As a mentor, there must be something lacking in me, and this lack made us lose the chance to return home."

Jason almost wanted to split open the little head in front of him to see what the structure was like inside. Why did he blame Barry's inability to exert his ability as his own failure?

"I think you've done a good job, Damian." Jason didn't, and didn't dare to say, "It's not your fault" directly. He knew it was comforting words, but chose carefully. Vocabulary, trying to cheer up Damian, "Look, Barry has fallen flat within a hundred meters at the beginning, and now he can directly rush up and beat up the gangster. What an improvement!"

"This kind of improvement is not enough for him to achieve the goal we originally expected! His violent beating of gangsters is nothing more than a quick punch with a high speed, without any technical content." Damian seemed to be overwhelmed. The self-blame repeatedly whipped, extremely tragic, "Barry Allen is 'The Flash', he should have been able to do it, what we know about The Flash should help him use his abilities to the greatest extent, but he is completely Standing still - everything points to my teaching being skewed, I... I don't know Speeders as well as I think I do."

Damian felt his cheeks burn, and knew in his heart that it was one thing to fail, and it was embarrassing to say it himself like this.What made his stomach ache even more. If he insisted on admitting it, he would definitely die on the spot. He believed that if the person in charge of guiding Barry today was Drake, he would definitely be able to do better. Well, everyone on the Teen Titans loves Drake, and the thing Damian hears the most when he's training with them is "Red Robin how?" Damian here needs to know more about Drake—what he usually is like, what kind of music he listens to, what books he reads... If the person who came to this universe with Jason is Drake, then With his friendship with Bart Allen, he will definitely be able to formulate a training plan that is more suitable for speedsters.

"Hmm..." Jason frowned and scratched his chin, bent down and picked up the account book at his feet to pat off the dirt on it, "but strictly speaking, I didn't ask you to train Barry to be able to take us go home?"

"But you said this is our best chance to go home!" Damian unconsciously raised his voice, "You also said he just needs some learning!"

"But I also said that whether you can rely on Barry to go home depends on his academic performance..." Jason pondered for a while at the account book, then suddenly stared at a number and gritted his teeth, "I'm so paralyzed. It's a dog! I knew it! I thought I was moving my money without anyone noticing, right! Why is the money for grocery shopping this month so tight!"

"Hey, I'm talking about something serious!" Damian watched in disbelief as his second brother put on a full set of equipment as if he was going to crusade against Arkham. In addition, there is a little more homely atmosphere, "We have been stuck here for a long time! There is no clue to go home at all, what other awesome plans do you have? Come and hear!"

Jason was about to open the warehouse door that was used as a base during this period, but he stopped after being questioned by Damian.

"Plan? To tell you the truth, I didn't care about that thing hundreds of years ago!" Jason put on a hood to cover up his angry expression, and turned his back to Damian and raised the account book in his hand to shake. Shaking, "Brother's most important plan now is to find out the bastards who have polluted our family's food money, let him review Gotham-style (gangster) management, a group of careless bastards, even my meal money Dare to move!"

Damian watched Jason go out cursing and collecting food money...Since they arrived in this universe, nothing has gone according to plan, and now even the criminals in Central City dare to defile them under the management of the red hood Precious Food Fund!

This feeling of being out of control made Damian uncomfortable.

He chose to go back and look at Gotham's monitoring—yes, since their income has stabilized, Damian has secretly made a small upgrade to Barry's computer, and the computing speed of this computer is already very fast. Soon (in order to keep up with the speed of his master's inputting commands as much as possible) Damian only needs to expand the hardware a little bit, and he can remotely cut into the surveillance under the jurisdiction of GCPD through the network.

Unexpectedly, even such a small movement of funds would be discovered by Jason, really... no matter how big or small, nothing is under control.

Damian hasn't really given up on seeking Batman's help entirely.

Although his rational side agrees with Jason's statement, if Batman here experienced the death of his partner in the process of partnering with other people for the first time, completely regarded the other party's death as his own fault and regarded "Robin" from then on. ", "Dick", and even "children" are all regarded as forbidden words. Anyone who dares to use these words to get close to him will be beaten up. This kind of thing is definitely done by a dear father. If it is Jason Definitely—typical blues.

But as the son of Bruce Wayne, even if this Bruce may not have had a romantic relationship with his mother at all, Damian still hopes to at least get the assistance of "Batman".As long as they can pass the level of "We are your sons in the parallel universe" and have not been imprisoned in Arkham by the enraged Batman as a psycho, everything still has a chance.

Gotham's surveillance cameras are much more densely distributed than Central City, but no amount of surveillance cameras can stop the group of people who are evil. Batman often doesn't deliberately avoid public cameras. This is Batman. The little tacit understanding with Chief Gordon let the other party know that he is still active. At the same time, for those who want to plant the crime results on Batman, what better alibi than the surveillance in the hands of the police chief?

It's just that for a while, Batman appeared most often in the Gotham Port pier area, not because of violent crimes or smuggling of contraband passively to interfere, but because he went there on his own initiative... There must be a case, or something that made Batman He cares about things.

What could it be?

Damian rested his cheeks in contemplation, his eyes resting on different screens in turn. Some screens were broadcasting local news from Central City, some were international news, and the other screen was the reception room of Iron Mountain Prison (Damian’s Another small modification), from the shape of his mouth, it looks like Barry is chatting with Henry about the newest and hottest topic in Central City, "The Flash".

When Barry asked Henry's opinion on The Flash, Damian raised his hand and cut off the signal, and replaced it with important domestic news at will-he also respects other people's privacy, unlike Drake!Huh, those idiots who hang around Drake thinking that Drake is the nicest guy in the world better not regret it in the future.

Only Xiao Qiao has the best vision and knows what kind of people are trustworthy, and the Clone kid is far worse.

Just thinking about what Jonathan Kent Jr. was doing, Superman’s red cape suddenly took the scene in the news. Whether or not Superman should be included in the national jurisdiction is being debated fiercely.

It has been nearly a year since General Zod invaded the earth, and the country still hasn’t decided how to deal with Superman. The Metropolis has built a statue of Superman, and regards him as the hero who saved the metropolis, but from the perspective of the country, one Invulnerable, an alien whose eyes can burn through the most advanced defense facilities, and who can easily knock out the most sophisticated missiles with a single punch, how can he be sure that he will not suddenly change from a friend to an enemy?If this day really comes, can anyone on this planet stand up and protect mankind?

"Wait, beware of Kryptonians... kryptonite. Why have you never heard about kryptonite?" Damian began to investigate several well-known black markets for kryptonite trading on the earth where he was in the past, and got zero news.

If this is the case, either people in this world have not discovered this mineral, or this ore has fallen into private hands and is unknown to outsiders. Those who have the resources to obtain kryptonite in the first place and block the news There are not many people, and Damian already has a list in his mind and is checking.

When Jason, who couldn't receive the food money, came back angrily, he faced Damian with a firm gleam in his eyes, and his aggression had subsided a lot compared with a few months ago.

"I have something to discuss with you." Damian pointed to the screen behind him, one was frozen at the bat lights in the night, and the other was frozen at the headquarters of the Lex Group, "I know I screwed up the Flash. One piece, give me one more chance - let's go to Gotham again, find Batman, wait let me finish - we'll go with presents this time."

"Continue." Jason folded his hands on his chest, waiting for Damian's next words, "What kind of gift?"

"There's not enough proof yet, but I think Lex Luthor has kryptonite in his hands." Damian pulled out a small lead box from his own universal belt, which everyone in the Bat-family carries. There is no need to say much about the objects contained in such a box, "Batman is always prepared, he knows the existence of Superman, he must prepare a way to restrain Superman - we bring kryptonite to the door, no matter what Batman here He thinks we're crazy, and he has to hear us out."

Instead of answering Damian right away, Jason showered him with another string of questions:

"You know that if Luthor has kryptonite in his hand, he will definitely keep it a secret. It can't be found out casually, right?"

"I know, but I think as long as Luthor's views on Superman here are [-]% the same as ours, he will definitely collect kryptonite."

"Just assuming that Batman here is also collecting kryptonite, how can you guarantee that he won't just knock us unconscious and take things away?"

"I can't. But I don't think you're the type to let Batman knock you out, and neither do I."

"As a plan, you've proposed this ... thing, too many assumptions, too many uncertainties, and there is no emergency backup plan."

"Like you said, my only plan right now is to use kryptonite to buy a chance to speak to Batman face to face."

That's the end of the problem. Jason strode forward and clamped Damian's head under his armpit, ruthlessly messing with the opponent's little head, and ignored Damian's protests, laughing and saying: "Good job!" Not bad, Rice! I like your plan, let's go bat-fishing, and if he tries, we'll kick his black ass!"

"Let me go!" Damian slapped Jason's arm angrily, "There is no plan to challenge Batman! No! Don't mess around!"

He didn't think Jason had listened to his last words.

It seemed like another plan that was about to get out of control, but amazingly, Damian found that he didn't care about a perfect plan.

It feels pretty good.
