[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

On the watchtower, members of the Justice League surround Peter and ask him carefully how he feels about the experiment just now.Although it is unbelievable, a lot of evidence tells them that there are other universes besides the known parallel earth.A completely different world from theirs, with no Justice League and no Green Lantern Corps.There are no green Martians or white Martians on Mars, and Superman's hometown Krypton or Hawkwoman's home planet Nagan does not exist in their cosmic map.

The planets proposed by Peter also have races: the three empires of Kree, Skrull, and Shia, or the nine kingdoms (including Earth) connected to each other by the World Tree, which the Justice League has never heard of.Not to mention substances as powerful as the Infinity Stones.

The only thing that hasn't changed anywhere is that Peter is not a pure-bred human, but judging from the fact that his non-human DNA can't find a matching creature in this universe, Peter is completely an alien species .

"I... don't feel any particular difference." Peter looked at the depressed expressions on the faces of these heroes who are said to be protecting the earth, and felt a little sorry, "Or should I pay special attention to some special feelings? For example Shake it or something?"

"Each parallel universe has its own unique vibration frequency. In theory, the universe you come from should also have its own frequency." The Flash pointed out to Peter the maps of many parallel universes currently known, "that is to say We just have to find the right frequency with enough energy to push you back."

Peter nodded half-understanding, and once again cooperated with them in finding the "correct frequency" under the comfort and encouragement of the others.

Batman's communicator rang at this moment, it was a communication from the Batcave, which was not very good.Normally Nightwing would be in charge of Gotham when he was in charge of the League.Even the situation that Nightwing and Red Robin couldn't handle smoothly in the past, now that Jason is back, it should improve.

Unless it's Damian causing trouble again.Perhaps it was an impulsive decision to hand over the uniform to Damian so early, he knew Tim and Damian were at odds, without him personally watching...

Batman couldn't imagine how horribly those two kids would kill each other.

"This is Batman." He picked up the comm, ready to hear the sound of things being smashed in the Batcave and the sound of brothers cursing and yelling at each other.

But he didn't expect that the caller would be Alfred, and the content of the communication was about Jason.

"Batman, there are some abnormal phenomena in the cave, you'd better come back and take a look for yourself." Alfred's voice contained anxiety that only those close to him could hear, "It's about the Red Hood."

"Understood." Batman tried to sound calm and normal, but his heartbeat must have betrayed him, because Superman turned his head and gave him a questioning look, "I'll be right there."

"Is everything okay?" Superman pointed to Batman's communicator, his eyes full of sincere concern, "If you need any help..."

"No." Batman rejected Superman without hesitation, looked in Peter's direction, and quickly assessed the feasibility of leaving him alone in the watchtower, "There is an emergency in Gotham, you continue to try to find the How to send him home, I will contact you again."

"Okay, but are you sure you don't need help? Your heartbeat..." Superman still tried to extend his friendly hand.

But Batman waved it away mercilessly: "This is a family matter."

"Oh." The Kryptonian knew from past experience that this is Batman's "roll", he can only slump his shoulders, like a big dog ordered by the owner to guard the house at home and not go out to play with him , watching Batman leave the watchtower.

***

Alfred waited in the Batcave, but Batman didn't see the so-called "anomaly".The cave was fairly clean and didn't look like it should have been after any scare event.

This means that the incident did not happen outside, but in the mansion, and did not involve life safety, which is a good sign.

"What happened?" Bruce took off his Batman costume while listening to Alfred's report.

The old butler seemed a little hesitant, as if he was considering how to choose the right words: "Master Jason seemed a little...disappointed early this morning, as if he didn't understand where he was, and his subsequent actions were quite out of order."

"What kind of out-of-order method?" Bruce recalled the nightmare that was too vivid and distorted on the first night after leaving the Assassin's City, and suspected that it might be the influence of the Well of Sin.Jason may have been slower to react because he had been in contact with Lazarus Pond.

"He called Master Timothy a 'substitute', and tried to attack him." Alfred said sadly.

This was unexpected for Bruce.Tim's admiration for Jason is almost to the point of prostration. If Jason says yes, he will only say better. The range of the night watch was drawn to the farthest place from the red hood, and Damian was handed over to Jason-Tim would never take the initiative to provoke Damian, especially in front of Jason.

And Jason has always been very calm about his passionate passion for Tim, and occasionally makes fun of Tim's stalker-like behavior, but overall Jason and Tim have always gotten along very well, except for Tim. Outside of the oolong red hood kidnapping incident at the beginning.

Could it be that Tim is finally not reconciled to just being a silent stalker, but chooses to go a step further?

"Is Tim okay?" Considering Jason's combat power and the influence of the Well of Sin, Bruce felt that he had to make sure that the children were still alive before proceeding with the step of moral education.

"He's fine physically, but Master Timothy's mind has been hit quite hard." Alfred's eyelids twitched, "He tried to play dead at the door of Master Jason's room to satisfy Master Jason's wish to see His desire to die in agony. Before Master Richard took him away, Master Timothy was studying how to fall to the ground so that Master Jason could see the best part of his carefully arranged 'corpse' as soon as he opened the door."

—Afu, are you sure what happened to Jason and not Tim?

"Also, Master Jason doesn't seem to know Master Damian."

Bruce resisted the urge to gasp, and calmly said that he knew, and that he would check on Jason.Before he reached the door of Jason's room, he heard Jason swearing and Dick's pleading. Damian and Tim were guarding one side of the door, and both refused to meet each other's eyes.

"Little Wing, please, I dare not let you go like this, I...I don't want to continue to sedate you, but if you continue to be so manic, I can't let you hurt yourself." Dick stood by the bed Struggling, he looked at Jason, who was constantly writhing on the bed, trying to break free, holding a syringe containing a sedative in his hand. Jason's twisting caused the cloth strips used to restrain him to rub red bloodstains on his skin. Every trail Jason made made Dick gasp.

"What are you pretending to be, circus freak!" Jason spat in Dick's face, "Say it like you care about me, I don't know what the trick is, but tell old Bat I won't Go back and be his dog wagging his tail after his ass! Whether he wants to change my face or change my name! You know these things can't hold me for long, why don't you kill me right now, Otherwise, when I am free, I will be the first to disfigure that pretty face of yours!"

The words "circus freak" brought a hurt look to Dick's face, but he managed a smile and tried to say something to comfort Jason: "Please, Finn... ok, ok. Jay Sen, I can leave, but you must promise me not to continue to hurt yourself like this, you scare little D and Timmy."

"Tch, why do I care if the substitutes are scared to death or crazy? And that kid, is Bruce finally going to find substitutes for the substitutes again? Ha! I warned him, we are a bunch of dolls in Bruce's eyes Pawns are replaceable—Gotham is a Robin Factory."

"Don't say that!" Dick's voice was raised several degrees, "They are your brothers! I know something is wrong with you now, but you will regret it when you return to normal, and you will be the one who will be sad at that time .”

"I don't, bro." Jason raised his lips towards Dick like a wild animal, showing his white teeth, and the dangerous gleam in his blue-green eyes was crazy that Dick had never seen before, "And I'm not 'abnormal', I'm very clear now."

Damian let out a whimper like a kicked puppy.

Even Tim couldn't help biting his lower lip to secretly watch Damian's reaction, and there was no trace of schadenfreude on his expression, but pure worry.

Bruce cleared his throat at the door, and pushed the door open after confirming that all the voices in the room had stopped.

"Dick." Bruce nodded to Dick, who stepped back from the bed to make room for Bruce and Jason, but still hovered in the corner of the room like a shadow.

Damian and Tim poked their heads in from the door, but Dick stopped them from rushing into the room with gestures.

"You can't bear to let the golden boy who escaped death risk being hurt by your failure, huh?" Jason stopped struggling in front of Bruce, "Oh, I understand, everyone loves Grayson."

Jason waits for Bruce to berate him, or say something like "You don't understand, I never intended to compare you to Dick" that doesn't make sense.He still remembered how desperate Batman was when the poisonous bomb exploded in Bloohaven, how desperate he wanted to rush to Gotham's sister city immediately to see if Nightwing was alive or dead.

He still remembered that when he stopped Batman, he heard the dark knight who never asked for help say "Please, Jason" in front of him, why?For his forever Robin, for Dick Grayson.

Dick is always the best and irreplaceable.Even the replacement got better evaluations than him. No one in Titan Tower remembered the second Robin. Even though his time in Teen Titans was very short, he was still a Titan!

Yet none of the statues commemorating the fallen Titans belonged to him.

When he was alive, he was never good enough.

When he died, no one remembered him.

"Oh, Jason." Bruce knelt down beside Jason's bed, his fingers gently stroking the wounds he caused himself, as if those bloodstains were serious injuries that could kill him, "Shh...it's okay, whatever What you see is not real, it is the illusion of the well of evil, I am here, I am not going anywhere."

Jason didn't know what was going on, but this Bruce was definitely not normal!

Bruce would never talk to him like that!

"What the hell are you talking about? What is the well of evil?" Jason struggled to stay away from Bruce. For some reason, he felt that this Bruce was more terrifying than the Bruce he remembered. You survived and cut my neck, and now you want to use hallucinations to cover up all this?"

Then Jason knew he had said the wrong thing.Seriously wrong.

Because all of a sudden, the gentle and amiable Bruce and the grunting Dick were gone, replaced by Bruce who pressed his palm on his chest and pressed him into the mattress, and the one who took out a short stick and pressed his neck Dick, even the substitute and the runt, who had been stalking the door, were pointing at him with sticks and knives.

"You're not Jason! Who are you? Where did you get my son!"

Jason Todd AKA Red Hood, the anti-hero who sanctioned Gotham criminals and scum with death, deeply realized at this moment that Batman's so-called "conquering criminals with fear" is not all absurd.

But he really is Jason!

For the first time in his life, he was intimidated by Batman like this. Can you give him a reason he can understand?
