[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

Bruce scanned the latest social news on the tablet. The protagonist in the photo was lying in a single ward of St. George's General Hospital, and two police officers were stationed at the door at any time.The hands and feet were lifted high by the sling, and the posture was fixed. Most of the face was covered by the oxygen mask. The feeding tube, the urinary catheter, and various pipelines for monitoring physiological values ​​extended from the hospital bed to various machines nearby.

This person is not a political and business celebrity, nor is he the young master of a rich family.The reason why he was able to live in the most secret single ward, and even protected by the police, was purely because he was the queen accountant of the Gotham gangsters. This guy had spent his whole life making false accounts and laundering money for the gangsters. It can make the black water in Gotham's underground world churn for a while. If there is no police protection, he might be silenced by some gang in the next second.

The good thing is that it wasn't the gang he served that sent him to the hospital in the first place.What a joke, the gangsters hid him tightly and hoped that he could work honestly. As long as the boss's accounts are done well, it is easy to talk about money, women, or preferential treatment. Naturally, nothing will happen. It is still possible to beat people to the hospital—to beat them to death directly.

It was Robin!

Other gangsters who were still conscious made statements like this.

"Teen Hero or Teenage Criminal?" "This is the title of the report, coupled with the miserable appearance of the accountant lying on the hospital bed, and the research data from who knows where, it is said that the increase in the number of school violence incidents is inseparable from Robin's behavior.

"Kids worship heroes, and they automatically imitate the actions of heroes. Robin is about their age, and his actions are naturally more likely to inspire imitation among teenagers than Batman. Adults condemn violence on the other hand, and praise teenagers. Violent law enforcement by vigilantes will cause disorder in children's values, which is a bad example." A certain youth education expert was quoted.

A video was also attached to the report. The interviewed subject was mosaiced because he was a minor, but the purple-black bruises on his face could still be seen from the blurred picture.

"Son, can you tell everyone why you beat up your classmates to the camera?"

"[Beep——] is a bastard, I am doing justice! A bully like him deserves to have his legs broken!"

"So you don't think you're wrong?"

"Of course not! Why should us dutiful students endure the oppression of those school bullies? If the school doesn't help us, of course we have to help ourselves!"

(Cheers in the background)

"One last question, what do you think of Robin?"

"Robin? He's super cool! He..."

"Thank you, boy! Viewers, you can clearly see the negative impact of the vigilante activities on Gotham's younger generation!"

Bruce pauses the video and puts the tablet to sleep.Of course he knows how much of this is the media leading the way, and how much of it is a real incident.For example, the badly injured accountant, when Batman and Robin traced his head, this guy was playing BDSM, they just kicked in the door, and the queen in hot clothes and whips screamed and ran away .

It's not that Mr. Accountant is brave enough to decide to stay and confront the vigilantes head-on, but he is being tied up by various props, and there is no room for him to escape.

Just as Bruce was about to untie him, gang reinforcements arrived with guns and bullets, and he and Jason could only turn to deal with the reinforcements.Unfortunately, in the fierce struggle, a [-]-pound strong man was kicked in the lower body by Jason, and he fell straight backwards and crushed the accountant who could not escape except wriggling.

Even Batman had to admit it was too beautiful for him to look at.

But even if the incident wasn't entirely Jason's fault, it wasn't groundless that this group of reporters would target Robin.Jason's attacks on criminals became more and more serious. In the past, he would at most knock them down and disarm them, and there would be certain bruises and contusions in the process.But now, as long as Jason does his work, breaking a few bones is considered light, and there are quite a few people who have to be tied up on the hospital bed and eat through a tube.

It's not that he didn't reprimand Jason, but it didn't help at all.Next time Jason will continue to beat people to death, no, that's not accurate, it should be said that Jason no longer restrains the severity of his strikes, especially after the teenager started to enter the puberty period, Jason and Dick's differences start to show up more dramatically for Bruce:

Dick's specialty is his flexibility and softness, which is an advantage brought to him by his background as an acrobat.He can surprise the opponent from an angle that is difficult to defend, and he can also dodge attacks that are considered to have nowhere to hide.Jason is an explosion of pure power and the potential to be a sharpshooter. When Bruce taught him how to know firearms on the first day, he saw that Jason had a unique understanding in this regard.

It's pretty much common sense in Gotham that Batman doesn't use a gun.But this does not mean that he knows nothing about firearms. On the contrary, in order to face the heavy firepower of gangsters, Bruce has a deep understanding of the power, range and structure of almost all kinds of firearms. He just chooses not to use such weapons.

One bullet, one life.Life is so cheap in front of guns.

But god, when Bruce was teaching Jason about these firearms and how to deal with them, he felt guilty for a while that he was burying talent.Bruce didn't deny that Dick was excellent in this area. It can be seen from the results of his shooting assessment at the Bruhaven Police Department that Dick was crowned the title of rookie marksman.However, Jason is more than just excellent. There is a connection between him and the gun that Bruce can't tell. Resonate like that.

After several nights of fighting between heaven and man, Bruce finally convinced himself.If you want to tailor a weapon for Jason to belong to him, the gun will be the most suitable, but they can design it to be less deadly in power, such as improving the bullets, and the Green Arrow can use those fancy special arrows. Reasonably, his son can't play tricks!

But if Jason continues to be so manic, all Bruce's ideas will be impossible to realize.Not only that, but he will likely be forced to ban Jason from continuing to engage in vigilante operations.

Bruce felt that he urgently needed to find someone to talk to, but looking around, even members of the Justice League had few people who could provide objective and valid opinions.Clark?It's true that he and Louise are together, but Joe is still several years away from the rebellious period, no matter how you look at it, it is much more likely that Clark came to him for help.Oliver... just pretend he didn't mention it.Jon is said to have had family members on Mars, but there is a racial gap between the youthful rebellion of the Martians and the Earthlings.

Even with Ah Fu beside him to comfort him, Bruce still felt very worried.When not talking about night patrols and cases, Jason is a very normal kid. Even if he is a little rude sometimes, he will obediently correct it after being reminded by Ah Fu or himself.But as soon as it comes to Jason's handling of the prisoners, Bruce must act both hard and soft. Jason obeys discipline on the surface, but when he turns around, he reverts to his old ways.It's just an endless loop.After one or two times, even Bruce felt his temper began to get out of control, and the two of them evolved from unilateral scolding to yelling and accusing each other.

It was like the big melee between him and Dick started early on Jason's side.

Just thinking of Dick, Bruce's cell phone vibrated, and the caller ID was Dick.

"Dick, how's everything going?" Bruce answered the phone, expecting a spunky hello from Dick.

"Hi, Bruce, I'm fine, everything is fine, I'm on Titan's side now." Dick's voice sounded a little absent-minded, and Bruce vaguely heard the sound of the electronic door swiping and switching from the background, probably because Dick found something wrong. disturbed place.

"Uh, I know it sounds like you're trying to pass the buck, but can you think of a reason to call Jason back?" Dick's tone was full of guilt and pleading, "I'm not trying to get rid of him, I swear That's not the case. It's just...something happened, and then other people...uh..."

Bruce looked up at the ceiling, how could he not be surprised at all?

"Jason disabled someone again?"

"It's not that bad, but it's about it," Dick muttered. "God, I heard you say he was cranky on the night watch, but I didn't expect it to be this bad. You didn't see him kick The expression of breaking that guy's calf bone..."

"I've seen enough, Dick." Bruce interrupted Dick, not wanting to hear more commentary full of hyperbolic adjectives about Jason's hotness.

"Have you tried talking to him, B?"

"How could it not be. But he firmly believes that the criminals he injured don't deserve to be sympathized." Bruce moved his eyes from the ceiling down to the portraits of Martha and Tomma in the painting with his parents when he was a child Adams looked back at him with a gentle smile.

Bruce asked himself more than once: what would Thomas and Martha do?

The conclusion is that they won't have an answer either.Because as long as Thomas and Martha were alive, they wouldn't let their son grow up to be a man like Bruce.Such a kind couple, their son should not be a broken man like Bruce.

Perhaps it was because of this that he didn't know how to guide Jason.Maybe he should stop kidding himself that he's helping Jason, when in fact he's just trying to prove he can be saved by "healing" Jason's past wounds.

perhaps……

"Bruce, stop." Dick's voice reminded him that he was still on the phone.

"What, I didn't say anything."

"I want you to stop thinking about it! I know what's going on in your head, it must be those negative thoughts of self-denial." Dick's tone was smug, "I mean it, Bruce, Jason It's not your fault what happened. I know you're not the most talkative detective in the world, but maybe you could try talking to him more? Don't be mean, the brat adores you."

"He also admires you. Jason is your successor after all." Bruce felt that Dick looked up to him too much. If Jason really admired him, why would he challenge his tolerance again and again during the night watch?

"It's not the same, Bruce. He wants to surpass me and prove that he is better, but with you, he wants approval. Have you considered giving him a pat or a pat on the head too much?"

"How do I agree with him? Agree that he broke someone's teeth as soon as he went up or agree that he didn't beat him to intracranial hemorrhage?" Bruce felt that anxiety rose again, why no matter whether it was Alfred or Dick, they always Think things aren't that bad?Couldn't they see that the darkness in Jason was beginning to consume the boy?

"I don't know, I'm just giving advice!" Dick sounded a little annoyed, "I'm not the guy who stays under the same roof with him 24 hours a day, and now I have to deal with a group of teammates who are about to explode, and A brother who wants 1V5. I don't want bloodshed in the Titan Tower at all, come on, Wally wants to try that Lightning's wall penetration on him!"

"Okay, okay." Bruce is not in the mood to fight Dick again now. He believes that there are still some cases in the Batcave that can get Jason back, but before hanging up the phone, Bruce couldn't help but confirm with Dick again, " You'll be back next week, right?"

"Of course. How could I miss my dear brother's 'adoption party', even though he's an annoying little shitball, is there such a party? No, it should be said that there is a need to have a special party for this? I thought Your personality should be to frame the court-approved adoption documents, then hide them in a safe, and occasionally take them out to admire in frustration."

Bruce refrained from looking at the safe inside the bookcase to the right.

"It's for public image, you know it."

"Or you want to show off your son, admit it, B, Jason is a standard 'other people's child', the purpose of existence is to let parents use it to humiliate their own children, and then you are the proud one at the Thanksgiving dinner An annoying relative of Yang Yangxiu’s son—no, I didn’t force the child to study, I’m surprised how he came back with an A+ himself!”

On the other end of the phone, Dick, who turned into a showman for a second, Bruce rolled his eyes directly.

"See you next week, Dick, have a nice day, bye." Bruce had already mastered how to deal with Dick who got too involved.

I hope that the ancestors of the Wayne family can bless him so that he can quickly master Jason who has fallen into an angry youth.
