[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

The New Milan sailed in the sea of ​​stars with brand new music. Jason sat in the driver's seat and touched the joystick and all the control buttons on the dashboard again and again.

When he and Peter shared the same body, he had also piloted the Milan, and everything in the driver's seat was familiar to him—hell, the first Milan was the two of him and Peter from a scrapped ship. The boat began to be refurbished little by little!

But using one's own body to control the ship, using one's own eyes to watch the sea of ​​stars in front of you... This is a brand new experience.But unexpectedly mixed with a touch of nostalgia.

"I thought I'd put all of this to the back of my mind." Jason's hand subconsciously picked at the groove on the joystick, "I thought I'd go back to my own universe, continue to be a vigilante, and sometimes kill a little supernatural The monsters and the like, the days are too fulfilling. But seeing with my own eyes..."

Jason pointed to the boundless universe in front of him.

"It's only now that I realize how much I miss all of this." Jason let out a breath, closed his eyes and lay back, humming softly along with the music.

It is said that only by climbing the mountains and seeing the sea can human beings realize their own insignificance.

But after seeing the universe, Jason deeply felt that the "smallness" of human beings is still a kind of arrogance in the whole galaxy and even the universe.

For example, Lei Xiao Ao Gu, who has lived for so many years, thinks that he has seen all the ugliness of human beings, and is convinced that human beings are a race of self-destruction and self-destruction, and they must rely on his grand plan to make the world prosperous.

But Lei Xiao's "big plan" is just a fleeting firefly in this vast sea of ​​stars.

Even the "Guardians of the Galaxy" cannot really guard the entire galaxy. All they can do is reach out and do their part when they receive help from others.

Whether it is vigilantes or guards, they have never been "heroes".

These "heroic deeds" they did were just because they happened to have the ability to choose to roll up their sleeves and do practical things when the disaster was imminent, instead of lifting the hem of their skirts and running far away for fear of soiling a corner of their clothes.At least for Jason.

"Hey, speaking of which, I haven't had a chance to ask you yet." Peter spun the seat in the passenger seat like an hyperactive child, "How does it feel to have a dad?"

"What's the problem?" Jason tilted his head and looked at Peter.

"That's right, it must be nice to have a real dad?" Peter pretended to be very absorbed in studying a newly added protective device, as if this was really a casual topic, "I told you that when I was young, I always told others that I Dad's David Hasselhoff, tell them my dad's away because he's filming the latest season of Knight Rider."

"I know, but you have Yondu?" Jason didn't understand why Peter always got into trouble with Yondu. Obviously, from Jason's point of view, Yondu is already a good father, although the degree of awkwardness is not the same as that of Bruce. Up and down, but in Jason's eyes, Yondu is much better understood than Bruce.

ah!Maybe that's the problem.

Jason knew Bruce first, followed by Yondu.So after experiencing the awkwardness at the "Bruce" level, the awkwardness at the "Yondu" level is nothing.

"Yondu is not my father!" Peter frowned and retorted, "Why do you always say that Yondu is my father, you clearly know that he abducted me from the earth."

"We never asked why he went to Earth to find you in the first place. Regardless of the reason, he not only didn't hurt you, but raised you up." Jason stretched himself in the driver's seat and said honestly Own opinion, "Not a bad dad by my standards. Not to mention he taught you a lot of useful things—"

"For example, beat us half to death, and say it's a means of educating ourselves to protect ourselves?" Peter curled his lips, as if he didn't buy it, "Don't do this, buddy. I've seen how precious your father is, you He almost strangled me and The Flash on the day of the "missing"."

"Bruce was never a good standard by which to measure others. Really, you have to trust me. In the human category, Bruce would put the adjective 'super' on everything: super suspicious, super obstinate, super Control freak, super overprotective...Listen to me, use Bruce as a standard to measure others and you will find that there are only two kinds of people in the world - scum and saints."

"Even if he's a little crazy, he's still willing to risk his life for you." Peter smiled wryly, "I heard about the water in the pool that I rushed out of with the Milan from your devil brother. The effect is terrible. But your dad is willing to touch such a terrible thing for you, without blinking an eye."

"Yondu is also going with you to fight against Ronan's Kree Star Destroyer." Jason kindly reminded Peter, "And Gamora and others, sharing the energy of the Infinity Stones is not as easy as soaking in the Well of Sin."

A struggling expression flashed across Peter's face, he hummed twice and stopped talking.

Jason felt that he could empathize with Peter's inner struggle.He had been in the same position, feeling that everything would be better if he could find his "biological" family.

But in the end, Bruce was his father even when neither he nor Bruce had any sense of the blood.On the contrary, Willis Todd always thought that Jason was his own son with his ex-girlfriend, but he never took his father's responsibility to heart even for a day.

Jason could tell Peter that, but he knew Peter wouldn't believe it.When Peter was a child, he always dreamed that one day "Daddy" would come to pick him up. Jason couldn't count how many nights when Peter couldn't sleep, Peter told him again and again that his mother called "Daddy from the stars" What a wonderful man, and how did they meet and fall in love romantically...

Even if Jason privately thought that Peter's mother was probably deceived by some bad man's rhetoric, he couldn't say it out loud.

"Hey, Peter, there's a call request." Jason pointed to the light that lit up in the corner of the screen, thanking him very much for the timely episode, "Would you like to answer it?"

Peter froze for a moment, looking like he was hesitating whether to transfer the call to Rocket or Gamora - during his absence, most matters related to the escort should be handled by the two of them.The call request flickered stubbornly in the corner of the screen, and Peter and it stalemate strangely for about a minute, and finally Peter sighed and pressed to accept the call to end this awkward waiting.

"Finally! I thought you were all dead in some corner again!" Yondu's trademark smirk appeared on the screen, and Peter almost slipped off the chair, but within seconds his ass was about to leave the chair Grabbing the armrest, he jammed himself back into the seat.

"Yondu! Hi! Uh... Long time no see?" Peter's face was full of the blunt smirk of a child who has done bad things and was caught by his parents, and Jason almost laughed out loud when he saw it.

Yondu looked at Jason vaguely, and Jason waved at him generously with a smile.Yondu originally wanted to say something without dodging, but now it's hard to say it directly.All the firepower can only be aimed at Peter:

"So you're really not dead, boy, your life is pretty hard." Yondu looked Peter up and down, as if evaluating his goods, and finally nodded with satisfaction, grinning as a profiteer, "Very OK, then we can come and talk business."

"Business? What business?" Peter's confusion was not fake at all, he really didn't know what business Yondu had to talk to him, "I won't go back to the saboteur, our escort team is also a well-known team now gone."

"It has nothing to do with the saboteur." Yondu waved his hand indifferently, "What I want to talk about is the bounty you posted not long ago."

This time it was Jason's turn to be shocked, and the rocket announced the reward for finding Tim and Damian, and Yondu found someone here?Is there such a coincidence?

"I know, I know, you're worried that I'll fool you!" Yondu had an expression of "Don't say anything, I know what's inside", and he turned around on the screen and made a gesture to the person behind him. Turning back to face the screen, "But what about seeing is believing?"

Tim and Damian, who were tied up, were pushed to the front of the screen. Jason noticed at first glance that both of their mouths were gagged, and the people in charge of guarding them had bandages on their hands—probably Was bitten hard.

"Tim! Damian!" Jason didn't care about Yondu's reaction, and jumped directly in front of the screen, wishing he could go through the screen to check the status of Tim and Damian.

He believes that Yondu will not harm children, but he does not guarantee that other saboteurs will be the same as Yondu.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Tim's reaction was much calmer than Damian's.He looked at the screen calmly, and nodded slightly to Jason to indicate that they were not injured.Yondu returned to the screen at this time, rubbing his hands like a big profiteer.

"The two bounty targets are here with me, and you have seen them alive and kicking." Yondu pointed to the noise behind him, Damian seemed to have caused some troubles in the process of being dragged out, "Can we discuss How to pay?"

"We will pay according to the price of the bounty." Peter quickly assured that he had just looked at the earnings of the Guardians of the Galaxy during this period, and there is no problem in paying two bounties, "You just say where you want to trade Let’s hand over the money and the people.”

Yondu smiled and said nothing on the screen.This gave both Peter and Jason a bad feeling.

"Peter, Peter!" Yondu shook his head and sighed in a dramatic tone, "How can I say hello, you see, if I only care about a little bit-a little bounty, I Just hand them over to the intermediary and wait for the money, right?"

The bad premonition is developing in the direction of reality.

Generally speaking, bounty hunters do not meet directly with clients, unless it is a case that requires careful negotiation (such as looking for Peter, Tim, and Damian).Or it will happen when there is a personal friendship between the bounty hunter and the client, and they do not intend to ask for rewards from their friends. Occasionally, in very special cases, the bounty hunter will narrowly target and threaten the client to raise the bounty.

And that's what Yondu is doing.

"Look, when you disappeared, I donated a large sum of money to help you find someone. How much did it come from?" Yondu waved to the side, and Kraglin held something like a ledger from the side Answer loudly, "500 million!"

"Five million, boy!" Yondu repeated the number loudly, then picked up Peter's bounty and shook it in front of the screen, "But no matter how I look at it, the price of this bounty is less than 500 million, Kraglin , can you help me see how much this is?"

"This is 120 million, Captain." Kraglin faithfully read out the amount of the reward.

"You see, this is the problem." Yondu pretended to wriggle his fingers in front of the screen, "I gave a 500 million bounty to find you, if the 500 million is paid to the bounty hunter who finds you, okay , no problem. But the problem is, your friends found you for only 120 million, so do you think I should get back the remaining 380 million... or take these two earthlings and Is it a good deal for you to exchange 120 million rewards?"

Both Peter and Jason knew how the 120 million price came about.

As the person who "finds" Peter, Jason should take the bounty, but Peter and Jason are basically together, which means that the left hand gives the bounty and the right hand takes it back.After a round of washing, he returned to the Guardians of the Galaxy and was used as a bounty for finding Tim and Damian.

Of course, the escort team still has some spare funds, but it is impossible to come up with nearly 400 million in cash at one go—unless the New Milan is used to pay for it, but without the ship, they cannot move a single step in the universe, which means they have to give Yondu worked his life to "redeem" the boat back.No matter how you count it, Yondu is the one who benefits.

"Yondu, please, don't do this." Peter looked at the leader of the saboteurs on the screen who called his "father" pleadingly, "Can we stop talking about money? What is our relationship, talking about money hurts feelings gone."

"Don't talk about money, it's okay!" Yongdu slapped his thigh boldly and agreed to put the money issue aside, "In fact, things are easier this way!"

Before Peter changed his words, Yondu pointed at Peter with one hand: "Your boy came here alone to exchange for the two of them. That's it, I won't take anything. It's not a loss! One for two!"

--Do not!

Peter almost wanted to directly refuse and cut off the communication, but it was Jason's brothers in Yondu's hands!One of them is the little angel who takes special care of Peter!

As soon as he said this, Peter himself would feel that he was an ungrateful bastard.

Jason chooses to intervene in his gradually losing negotiations with Yondu at this time, complaining to Yondu in the way someone who is snubbed at a class reunion wants to win attention: "Oh! Why do you only want Peter? Don't want me, Yondu?"

Yondu's face clearly says "do we know each other" with a huge question mark.Jason kindly announced the answer directly: "I'm Jason! Don't you remember?"

And the expression on Yondu's face is more blunt than holding each other's hand and smiling awkwardly at the class reunion and unable to pronounce his name.

"Jason?"

"The one and only!" Jason winked at Yondu, "Ah, speaking of which, I learned my marksmanship from you, but you are too bullying, so you obviously adjusted the difficulty of the practice target to The highest, and even bet with me that if I win, I will use Starnet."

Yondu still looked a little dubious, and tentatively replied: "Hey, who made you stupid. If you want to bet, you have to admit defeat, don't you think so?"

"That's right, but you still asked Kraglin to send over a second-hand personal terminal. You also made an excuse that it has poor reception and you plan to eliminate it." Jason looked into Yondu's eyes deliberately with an aggrieved look He was staring wide open, his mouth opened and closed so he couldn't speak, and Peter curled up into a ball on the seat, trembling all over with a suppressed laugh, "Look, I haven't forgotten you for a second, but You actually forgot about me!"

"You...I..." It took Yondu a long time to come up with a complete sentence, "Peter, is your essence serious enough to materialize?"

Jason and Peter looked at each other, and shouted to Yondu in unison: "I have no mental points from the beginning to the end!"

"Oh." Yondu nodded with a blank face, and then mechanically said something like: "Something happened suddenly, we will contact you again." And: "Your friends are safe, don't worry." And so on, Communications were cut off.

Peter was the first to breathe a sigh of relief, while Jason buried his face in the palms of his hands. Obviously, both of them needed some time to digest the news that Yondu had just brought.

***

On Yondu's boat, Kraglin carefully looked at the captain who had been holding his hair in his seat since he cut off the call.

He is also one of the members who has a good relationship with Peter on the ship, although sometimes he can't stand the captain's unrestricted concessions as soon as he encounters something related to Peter.But that doesn't mean he doesn't care about Peter (and Jason). He knows that Jason and Peter have quite different personalities. Don't let go of any small details around you, always observing.

Kraglin is not a medical expert, and he doesn't understand what kind of problem is schizophrenia, but he always treats Peter and Jason as two people according to his intuition.So even knowing that Peter and Jason really seem to be two people... well, let's be two people.

"Kraglin!" Yondu's roll call brought Kraglin back to his senses.

"Yes, Captain." Kraglin replied faithfully, as always.

Yondu's face has been swept away from the trance a few minutes ago, but he looks energetic and radiant, "Gather the boys together, we are going to have a party!"

"Let's... have a party?" Kraglin felt that he suddenly couldn't keep up with the captain's thinking, did something worth having a party to celebrate happen?

"Yeah, let's have a party!" Yondu chuckled and hooked Kraglin's shoulder, "Tell them, our bully will become two from today! Hahahahaha!"

Kraglin understood everything.

It is correct to write "take advantage of" and read "good son".
