[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

The criminals in Gotham know that Batman's famous line has changed recently. What is the previous line? The gangsters and super villains have their own opinions. In short, everyone agrees that the latest version is: "Red Hood Where!"

Even in Metropolis across the bridge, because of Batman's search for the Red Hood everywhere, there have been several talk shows discussing "Who is the Red Hood?" From the first group of low-profile robbers with red pantyhose pullovers to the exaggerated cylinder-style hood, the fact that the clown once used this title has also been widely discussed by netizens.

In addition to excavating history, there are more people focusing on the recently circulated selfies with red hoods and bat lights, as well as the gangster incident in Chinatown.While the police refused to make a statement, some insiders revealed that the weapon used by Red Hood is a gun that emits energy shocks. One, two, three... reasons why current technology cannot produce energy guns.

"Maybe he is an alien? The weapon he uses will be an alien product, that's possible!"

"It's also possible that it came back through time travel? One day in the future, humans will be able to produce energy weapons."

With a biscuit stick in his mouth, Tim browsed the forum with great interest.Jason just agreed to his request to "make some personal changes". Within three days, his living room was transformed into a room for a serious gaming geek. There were six computer screens alone, and Tim was stuck in his That expensive one is said to be super ergonomically designed, allowing gaming geeks to sit on it all day long without backaches and sliding from left to right, and snapping at the keyboard for a while, Swipe to the left again to enter a bunch of codes.Stare at one of the screens at a time, and giggle at the other screen in the next second.

It's not like Jason doesn't know that some people can multitask, but it's also crazy.

If he hadn't pulled Tim out of that chair, the kid would literally have been planted in that corner all day without eating or drinking.The stunt of changing clothes with a coffee cup is also due to Tim's bad living habits. He can completely rely on coffee to drive his daily life. Infuse it with coffee, and you have a working Tim Drake.

"When I set up your system here, you can directly connect to the bat computer, and then this one will be updated synchronously with the GCPD file. It is expected to be connected to the Titan Tower..." Tim pointed to the six screens Explain the operation of each block to Jason, "After all, it is a commercial machine, and I can't make it more efficient. Many of the equipment in the Batcave are directly pulled from the factory after being designed and tested by Wayne Enterprises' R&D center. Yes, it is not impossible to steal parts and components, but it is more troublesome and needs to be considered in the long run.”

As Tim talked, he buried himself in checking when the next freighter from Wayne Enterprises would enter the port.

"Ah, this batch is available. It is expected to arrive at the port in the evening in three days. We can intercept this batch of goods directly from the dock. At Pier No. 5, there will be a [-]-minute gap between the shifts of the police patrol team."

For some reason, Jason felt that he was very pure at the moment, and the person next to him with a biscuit in his mouth, an energy drink in his hand, and his eyes fixed on the computer screen was the vicious head of a criminal group.Jason wasn't quite sure if he should remind that the company Tim was going to grab right now was called Wayne Enterprises, the ancestral company of his dear guardian/mentor, and the owner's son was standing next to him.

"To sum up, our success rate in snatching this batch of goods is as high as... 77%." Tim seemed to be taken aback by this conclusion, "Huh? It's a miracle that no one has snatched Wayne Enterprises until now." Goods, this security obviously has obvious loopholes."

"Or maybe it's because the average criminal doesn't have a brain like yours, or if he does, he doesn't have the muscles to do what you just said. Well done, Tebow, we should have robbed Dad way, to remind him to pay attention to the company's property preservation." Jason expressed his sarcasm in a sticky manner, but from Tim's ears starting to turn red again, he knew that the other party took this remark as a compliment again.

"No, I'm serious, Tim." Jason rubbed his face, "There are so many things to grab, look, Black Mask has similar parts coming into Hong Kong, how good it is to grab him!"

Tim seems like a helpless designer, and Jason is the client who made the weird request: "But... I thought you were going to create the image of 'Dude is a red hooded man,'?"

"So? What does this have to do with Robbing Dad?"

"It does matter!" Tim voted for the option of robbing Dad without hesitation, "If you want to create a vicious image and create topics, then you have successfully robbed Wayne Enterprises, which has never been robbed by you— Famous! But you don’t really want to compete with Gotham’s current gangsters, so robbing Wayne Enterprises can make you famous without actually making enemies, and then you can write a letter of repentance to Bruce or something.”

"Repentance letter." This was the first time Jason had heard of the proposal to write Batman a letter of repentance.

"Uh-huh." Tim buried himself in his programming code again, and the rattling sound of the keyboard was endless.

—What trouble have I gotten myself into?

With such doubts, Jason wandered back to his room like a ghost, and contacted their undercover agent in Wayne Mansion, AKA Damian.He said about Tim and his modding project, Damian is very rare, did not say anything harsh, Jason guessed that this is because Damian has not been able to break through the firewall of the Batcomputer, voice authentication can only let him read Surface material, that's Tim trying to get Bruce

There is also a set of simple systems specially designed by others to receive prompts from the bat computer without hiding in the bat cave.If you want to read the really important data, you still have to verify it yourself on the bat computer.

Damian was blocked outside the Batcave by Bruce's strict guards. He could only keep hitting Red Robin's firewall, and then admitted that "incompetent otaku Drake" was somewhat useful in a bruised and swollen state, but Damian swore that even He's dead, and he's not going to admit it in front of Drake.Who dared that guy to take his job as a mole, leading Jason to dodge the police and Batman and Nightwing when the Red Hood kicked over another Maroney-protected drug den.

"Damian, my little prince, my voice of reason." Jason collapsed on the bed, put his phone on speakerphone (he encrypted the call line of course), "tell me this idea sucks, we should It's better to rob Penguin, Black Mask, or even Catwoman than to rob Wayne Enterprises."

Jason was praying on the phone that Damian was by his side.He knows how much this kid values ​​"I am the perfect heir", and Tim's proposal is to rob the business that Damian will inherit, which should already be considered an offense in Damian's dictionary up.

"This plan...is pretty good." Damian voted for the option of robbing Dad with a rather sad tone.

"Who are you and what did you do to Damian!" Jason couldn't believe his ears.

"In all fairness, if you want to attract nameless attention, although I still don't like Drake, this is really a good way." Damian snorted, and Jason could imagine his face full of excitement. Disgust, "You said that nameless hides among humans, and they may be in any corner of the world, so if you want to attract them to come to you, you must make a big enough incident! The scale of these conflicts is not big enough at all, The news didn't even leave New Jersey. Unless you're going to spend years accumulating fame, or you're making a world-class mess."

"Do you think I don't know? But have you ever thought that in case Wuming hasn't caught yet, Dachao and his happy friends will be caught first?" Didn't Jason be afraid of the big blue guy, the batman? Kryptonite, standard Kryptonian equipment, had been within his reach since he set foot on American soil.

But trouble is still trouble.Jason really didn't want to deal with the boy scouts who thought they were punishing rape and eradicating evil while fighting the thousand-year-old devil.

"That's why we picked Wayne Enterprises." Damian said in a matter-of-fact tone, "This is a business empire all over the world, if Wayne Enterprises is robbed in front of our house, it will soon become big news. And More importantly, if the Justice League morons are going to intervene, tell them it's a family matter."

"Family matters." Jason repeated dryly, "Why don't you just say it's a safety drill?"

"It's okay. In short, you have my permission. Brother, as the heir of the family, I allow you to rob the parts and components that will arrive in Hong Kong in three days, and ask Drake to pass on the serial number of the container."

"...Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness?" Jason had to accept that he was scheduled to rob his own house three days later, and for a moment he didn't quite understand what was wrong with his family composition.

"No." Damian replied in his usual commanding manner, "I'll have that minestrone soup, the kind you stewed for Drake yesterday."

This natural tone of ordering food made Jason feel that he had to maintain his dignity as an older brother: "I'm not your chef, Damian."

"No. But you are my brother, and you are obliged to feed and drink me." A certain guy who especially liked to emphasize that he was the heir to a millionaire asked his legally dead brother to fulfill his duty of taking care of his younger brother without any guilt. obligation.

"Or I can report your address to my father right now." And supplemented by threats.

Oh, do you think he has his father as a backer now?Jason turned over and squinted at the picture of Damian on the phone screen: "Or I can tell my mother that you are messing with me."

"It's despicable!" Damian fell silent.

"You started first." Jason raised his eyebrows proudly.

After the other party complained in a low voice, the call was cut off.It means that the two of them got a tie this round.This kind of bickering sometimes reminded him of Sam and Dean. He didn't know how they were doing now. He could look it up a little bit if he had the chance.

Jason hadn't had time to enjoy the warmth of getting off the bed for a while, when the door was knocked.

"What?" He propped up his upper body lazily, looked back at Tim's head poking into the room, and those blue eyes full of expectation, he suddenly remembered the phone clock he saw just now, five forty in the afternoon .

A bad premonition hit my heart.

"Jason," Tim smiled at him, "you said it's important to eat properly."

Oh, no.

"I'm hungry. What are we having for dinner?" After Tim asked the question, he obediently waited for Jason's answer at the door.When Jason didn't answer him immediately, his happy blue eyes dimmed quickly, he lowered his head slightly, and obediently offered an alternative: "It's okay to leave me alone if you're busy, I still have biscuit sticks, and Your coffee is delicious! I can do it like this, so you are busy."

Jason thinks he's the evilest brother in the world, giving his brother that abandoned look for a living on biscuits and coffee.This evil, manipulative little red bird.

Thank goodness he's Jason's fan instead of an enemy.

"Eat Nanyang dishes, curry laksa. Is there any seafood you don't eat?" Jason sighed. Why has his daily life become so strange since his resurrection?Was it because he watched too many reality cooking shows before he died?

"I don't like clams, everything else is fine." Tim's eyes lit up again, and he hurried to the cupboard to start setting the table.

Jason walked into the kitchen resignedly, put on his apron and started to heat up the pot: "No clams, no problem."

Maybe he can send some food to Ah Fu. The old man must have been disturbed by these things they have done, so he can't eat well and sleep well, and he also has to deal with Bruce's bad temper.I'm really sorry for him when I think about it, I'll bake some muffins and send them to him tomorrow.

Well, just do it.

***

Before robbing his family, Jason continued to roam Gotham as the Red Hood.Although he has to deal with Wuming, this does not prevent him from cleaning up Gotham's human scum.

This energy gun has an advantage that Peter's advanced version does not have.

Peter's gun is mature alien technology, and paralysis is paralysis without side effects.But earth technology is different. Even with the resources of the Assassin Alliance, some relics of super-ancient civilizations and alien technology mastered by humans at this stage, if the paralysis mode of this energy gun is used well, it will directly make people who suffer The subject of the attack is left with permanent nerve damage.

This means that those who are slightly injured may have squinted eyes all their lives, or those who are seriously injured have to rely on wheelchairs and crutches to move.The days of being fierce and fighting are farewell to them forever. Those who want to continue to be gangsters can only be the bottom of the bottom forever, doing some sneaky deeds, and if they are lucky, they will be thrown out by the superiors to take the blame.

Today's goal is to control gangs of child pickpockets. They often gather at construction sites in new development areas, which are remote enough that no unrelated people will appear except for night security and temporary workers living in dormitories.They can safely "teach" children who have not achieved the task, and they don't need to worry about being discovered by good people and calling the police.The red hoods know this place because some kid under their control tried to take his wallet while he was shopping for fresh groceries at the supermarket, and Jason tried to get the kid off guard and tell him Something about this pickpocketing ring.

These children were "rented" by pickpocketing gangs from their parents.After negotiating the price, the parents hand over the children to these people in exchange for a down payment. If the children do not steal enough money, they will be punished. If they escape home, the parents will contact the group again and take the children back to the travel lease.But if they don’t escape home, the children have never lived a day of sleeping in the open. Most of them will be arrested soon, or they can’t stand the life of sleeping on the street. After all, as long as there is something stolen, You won't be hungry and have a place to live.Only a few children never came back, but no one knows whether they really escaped or died in a corner.

What is more unusual is that Groot is also dispatched with the red hood tonight.

Jason can no longer stand Groot's corrupt life.He hardly has sober time now, he is basically drunk all day long, when he is sober, he just lies on the sofa and watches dramas, such as "HannahMontana" and "Glee", in short, he has to sing and dance .

It’s also listening to music. Groot’s ancestor (should it be regarded as an ancestor? Jason is actually not sure about the parent-child relationship of tree people) but listened to music and went to the battlefield to fight aliens. Little Groot can’t say too much Bar.

So Jason took his carefully selected LinkinPark playlist, a small loudspeaker, and Groot reluctantly to solve this pickpocketing gang, which is not a difficult task, and liberate the children.

"We're almost there, Groot." Jason stopped on the steel beam of the construction site not far away, squinted his eyes and looked at the location the child told him, and there was indeed someone moving on the construction site that had just started excavation. Light and shadow, and it still includes adults and children, is definitely not the crowd that should be haunting the construction site at this time.

"I'm Groot." (I want to go back.)

"No, we want to give back to the society, so... pick a piece of music." Jason took out and shook it in front of Groot, "Hurry up, hurry up, we have a group of children to save."

"I'm Groot." (This one.)

Jason looked at the song Groot had chosen, and smiled proudly under the hood: "Good taste, it's a bit like me!"

With the singing of "What I've Done", the first half is soft and almost whispered, until it enters the chorus part, asking loudly-"What I've Done (what did I do)" Ah, what a good question!

The group of pickpocket gang members who can fiercely wave their belts and beat them in front of children, and scream and curse at them, have no idea that the Red Hood, the man of Gotham, will fall from the sky, and they will come together with the sound of music.

The children soon discovered that the Red Hood was not coming for them, but the "uncles" and "aunts".They almost watched with admiration in the eyes of Red Hood who knocked those ferocious adults to the ground in less than half a song.And his follower turned out to be a magical little tree, using branches to bind those people into a ridiculous appearance similar to mummies.

Many children even couldn't help laughing out loud.

As the Red Hood expected, it was a fairly simple job, and those who only dared to attack children were never tough guys or strong women.They just need to seek strength and the satisfaction of controlling everything by hurting children who are weaker than themselves.

The roaring refrain of lead singer Chester continued.

TocrossoutwhatI'vebecome

Erasemyself

This is the way people recognize mistakes and seek forgiveness. This is what Bruce said to him: "Give others a chance, maybe they will surprise you." But has Bruce ever thought that this surprise may be a worse way , Surprised that human beings can be so bad?

After all, not everyone is willing to destroy the past, repent and usher in a new life.

So Red Hood helped them a little, and they could no longer hold anything heavier than a plastic fork with their hands, let alone a belt.Apart from uncontrollable saliva, their mouths could no longer spit out any humiliating words.Jason makes sure of that when he fires the shots, every shot hits where they should.

It's also a way of destroying the past, isn't it?

For the criminal lying on the ground moaning|groaning, those days of showing off his might have come to zero.

Red Hood slips a disposable cell phone to the kid who tried to pick him up that day, tells him to call Jim Gordon, and assures him that he's a good cop in Gotham who will make sure the kids don't into the hands of criminal groups.He didn't report it himself because he knew the kids might appreciate him for taking down their oppressor, but they didn't necessarily trust him, and therefore the police he called.

Better to leave this to the little leaders within them.

He still hid aside and waited for the GCPD patrol car to come to take the prisoner, and the policewomen comforted the child before leaving the scene.Groot sat on his shoulders, as if he was still intoxicated by the scene of picking up the strong and helping the weak.

"How about it, isn't it good?" The red hood poked the little tree man's cheek.

"I'm Groot." (It feels...good!)

"I know, that's why I'm in this business. You're doing a great job, too." Red Hood gave Groot a thumbs up, and was about to head home, when Tim begged a little in the earphones the sound of:

"Hood, can you take a look at the construction site of Winton? It's not far from your location."

"Okay, I've finished work here. What's the matter?" Red Hood asked about the situation while rushing to the construction site of Winton Construction. This is a well-known construction company that specializes in building some small mansions.Their latest construction projects are also aggressively advertised, claiming that they can sit on the largest green space in Gotham, and you can see huge advertising billboards everywhere you go.

"It's Nightwing." Tim's voice was a little nervous, "Listen, you don't need to interact with him, just take a look at him from a distance to make sure he's not in trouble. His signal has been there for a while, But from my side, it doesn't look like there's any illegal activity at the Winton construction site. B's signal is on the other side of the city, if there's anything..."

"OK, I understand." Red Hood interrupted Tim's explanation. He understood what the little red bird was worried about. What if Batman couldn't catch up?

"Thanks. I'll remind you immediately if something happens." Hearing Jason's assurance, Tim breathed a sigh of relief and ended the call.

When Red Hood approached Winton's construction site, Groot was the first to feel strange.The little tree man stood up from Jason's shoulders, stretched his neck and looked around, then pointed in a direction for Jason to follow him.

"I'm Groot." (Here, here!)

"Slow down, we don't know the situation yet." Red Hood took out his energy gun, and followed the little tree man into the large area surrounded by the construction company.Then he immediately found something that shouldn't be here - a bewitching red flower that was bigger than an adult.

"What the F*ck!" Jason immediately shrank into the shadows. If the mutant piranhas are here, then poison ivy is nearby. This is one of the common sense of life in Gotham.

"Xiao Hong, I need you to confirm the location of Poison Ivy." Damn it, he never heard of Poison Ivy breaking out of prison.

"Confirming, uh... she's still in Arkham, and I'm seeing her cell through the surveillance. There's nothing wrong with the picture." Tim's feedback made Jason's worries half gone.

The flowers of poison ivy are difficult to deal with, but at least it is much simpler than when she was there, there are no weird vines and pollen to be wary of.This looks like a new variety, at least he hadn't seen this kind of flower when he was Robin, but it should be treated in a similar way, burning it with a fire.

For now, it is better to confirm that Dick is more important, and then deal with flowers later.

"I have a mutant flower of poison ivy here, probably because she didn't clean up her tail after the last escape, and I will deal with it. Where is Nightwing?"

"You didn't see him?"

"No, should I see him?"

"But here I show that he is standing in front of you."

"Little Hong, with my 2.0 vision, there is no big blue bird in front of me. Only piranhas."

A terrifying clarity is realized on both ends of the communication at the same time.

"I'm going! DICKWING!" Red Hood rushed to the side of the piranha, and sure enough, at a certain angle, he saw a figure who seemed to faint in the flower.Is there something wrong with this guy?Red Hood didn't save Ye Yi to send flowers and fertilizers to Poison Ivy!

"I'm Groot." (Hello, beauty.) The little tree man walked to the side of the piranha, with one hand on his hip, and took a photo pose of a handsome man often seen in popular magazines.

"Groot, not now." Jason summoned the caste blade and tried to cut through the petals, but they were too elastic, making it twice as difficult.

"I'm Groot." (Beauty, why are you so lonely?)

"Are you really flirting with the flowers of poison ivy? Seriously?" The petals were finally cut open a small hole, and the splashed liquid left Jason's leather clothes with shallow burn marks immediately, hoping that Nightwing's equipment Enough to carry the digestive juice that has been soaked for an unknown amount of time.

"I'm Groot." (Is she ignoring me because I'm ugly?)

"No, you're not ugly." Jason replied reflexively, trying to widen the crack in the petals so that he could grab Ye Yi's hair and pull him out with force.

Nightwing's costume had clearly begun to dissolve under the corrosion of the acid, and Jason set fire to the unnatural product as fast as he could, and carried the limp bluebird and the sobbing Groot to the ground. back flush.

"I'm Groot." (Is this what it's like to be out of love?)

"No, it hasn't even started yet! Wait, how old are you? Tell me about your broken relationship, and you are not allowed to watch any more hot chicken romance dramas." Jason is very grateful that his hood covers his expression, otherwise Everyone will see his white eyes that are about to roll to the back of his head.

Why on earth has his daily life become so colorful?
