[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

Peter hugged Jason happily, and even Jason's stinky younger brother Peter rubbed his hair hard.

"I don't know how happy I am to hear that you escaped from Yondu!" Peter patted Jason on the shoulder in relief, "But what about your angel brother? And the rocket? He should have brought you here Bar?"

"Ah, Tim said he won't come down anymore, he wants to study your spaceship." Jason pointed to the sky, and didn't continue to dwell on the issue of Tim or the rocket, "Damian and I are planning to come See how you are, and then go on and find your way home."

"Speaking of this, I think you should talk to my dad! He's amazing!" Peter pulled Jason, and got very excited when Egg was mentioned, "I'll show you something!"

Behind Peter, Gamora gave Jason a look of "Look, how sick he is", and found a corner where the sun was not too strong and sat down, not planning to join Peter's small sightseeing group.

Peter led Jason and Damian to Egg's garden. On the way to the palace, Jason had already seen how unnatural the planet was.The place where they landed was a wasteland where not a single blade of grass grew, but as soon as they crossed an invisible boundary, the scenery that greeted their eyes suddenly became a well-maintained flowerbed and intricately layered trees, a bunch of flowers and a few steps away. Totally two worlds.

When they walked through the flowers, what they stepped on was not the soft mud, but the same solid rock.In such soil, such delicate flowers will not grow in large areas.Jason would know because some of those flowers came from the earth, although they are beautiful, they are very difficult to grow.Not to mention that among the plants produced on the earth, the frigid and tropical plants appear in the same place, and they also bloom and bear fruit together.

Damian obviously also noticed the abnormality of these flowers, plants and trees. Although the Assassin League sounds like a gloomy, bloody cellar or a hidden base that cannot be seen.But in fact, Reshaw O. Gu and Thalia are both people who are good at enjoying life. Although Jason has not been in the league for a long time, most of them are in an embarrassing state of incoherent consciousness and body. He also knows that Damie As the heir of the Ao Gu family, An's quality of life is absolutely exquisite to the extent comparable to that of the royal family.

"This taste is simply too bad." So when Damian looked at the pond full of all kinds of floating flowers in disgust, Jason was not surprised at all, "Rude, gaudy! This is simply casual Just put together the flowers that the owner of this place likes! The landscaping has no sense of hierarchy at all!"

Jason could only nod silently, agreeing with Damian's evaluation.

Indeed, the landscape here is spectacular at first glance, but in fact there are many places that look quite abrupt, just like what Damian said, it is purely Ego who randomly copied his favorite things to his own planet, just like Children gather all their favorite things into one room, but they are not organized.

Jason thought the flamboyant decorations they'd seen along the way were Egg's limit.

But it wasn't until Peter brought them to the garden in Egg's palace that Jason realized that he had underestimated the trickery of this stallion planet - he set up a statue in the back garden, the statue of Peter's mother .

"Look, this is my mother." Peter looked at the statue of Meredith Quayle with nostalgia.

The bright woman with thick curly hair, wearing a one-piece dress, holding a flower basket and looking up at the sky with a smile, and Jason once had a quick glance, lying on a hospital bed with all her hair gone, even under the thin hospital gown. The woman who couldn't even raise her hands and whose face was as pale as paper was very different.

Jason stood up straight in front of the statue's legs, and together with Peter looked up at Meredith who was in high spirits.

"Your mother is beautiful." Jason really thought so.Not just her looks, but the fact that she raised Peter by herself.She was still very young when she gave birth to Peter, so she could have left Peter in the care of her grandparents, lived a comfortable life by herself, and it might not be impossible to find another responsible man to marry, but she chose to Raising Peter alone, and from Peter's tone and expression when he talked about his mother, Jason believes that they must have a good relationship.

"Yeah." Peter blinked, and there was mist in his eyes, "She is the most perfect woman in the universe."

Peter in Damian Hall frowned slightly, but didn't say much.He just hummed softly, lowered his head and pretended to observe the pattern of floor tiles laid on the ground.Even if Quill always rudely called him an imp, for the sake of the dead, Damian was graciously not as knowledgeable as Quill. This kind of overly emotional argument has no logic at all.

Jason turned his head away, and waited for Peter to sniff his nose to control his emotions before continuing to chat with Peter as if nothing happened: "It seems that you are having a good time here, very nourishing."

Peter watched Jason's movement of pinching his stomach, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to pinch his waist, um...it was within an acceptable range.

"So this garden was set up by your father who has never met?" Jason turned around in a circle, and the setting of the entire garden extended to the left and right sides centered on the statue of Meredith. There is also a lot more layering than the scenery he saw along the way before.

"Yeah." Peter smiled. "I guess that means he really loves her, doesn't it?"

Damian chuckled, Peter frowned and turned to look at little Robin with his hands folded on his chest, and said in an unfriendly tone: "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, you're the one who's wrong, Quill." Damian stretched out his hand and gestured towards the garden, "If this man really loves your mother, why didn't he stay by her side instead of staying here Cover the statue."

"Because he can't leave this planet too far! He has reasons!" Peter immediately defended Igo, and even carefully explained to his least favorite Damian how many years it took Igo to become A planet that has a way of moving around and is looking for life until he meets Meredith and falls in love.

If Damian buys it so easily, then the training of the Assassin League will be in vain: "Don't be stupid, Quill, do you think the owner of this planet seems to be a person who loves life? You see here that everyone except us Is there any creature other than man?"

Peter looked like he was choking on something, and it took him a long time to reply, "Do you want him to catch the creatures he likes and keep them here?"

Just about to choke back: "He has turned this place into a weird botanical garden with four seasons", Damian was held down by Jason's shoulder, and then the words that came to his mouth turned into a disdainful "Tt", swaggering to the other side of the garden.

"Can't he keep his mouth shut? He's much cuter when he's not talking." Peter vented his anger by clenching his fist and beating Damian's back.

"This is Damian. Let's not talk about him. Is this Egg treating you well?" Jason asked with his arms around Peter's shoulders. Ge may have been an asshole for thousands of years, but on Peter's side he is a really good dad, "What have you been doing since you came here?"

"It's really nothing. On the first day, I just walked around and told us his story." Peter took Jason to wander slowly along the garden path. As long as he is in this garden, no matter where he goes Both can see the statue of Meredith.Anyone who changed it would believe that this is an affectionate man who is missing the love of his life.

"He taught me how to connect with the light of the planet, like this—" Peter closed his eyes and frowned slightly, which was a sign of his concentration, and then a blue light appeared between Peter's hands. Guang, "Look, it's amazing!"

The blue light shook in Peter's palm, and it went out like a bonfire without fuel, not even a wisp of black smoke left.

"I'm far behind Egg, he can use this light to make all kinds of things, we even played an afternoon catch game with the light ball he made!" Peter was excited like a Children, "When I was young, I was so envious that other kids could play catch with their dads. My mom is cool and can sing more songs than anyone else, but she really doesn't have much time to play with me-you know, She has to earn a living for two and pay the bills."

"Sounds cool." Jason's small response immediately brought Peter a big smile.

"Really!" He was delighted as if he had found a comrade in the lonely struggle, "You don't know, Gamora has been insisting that Egg has a problem, I really don't know what's wrong with her, at first she said she would come She is also the one who talks about it, and she is also the one who talks about it now."

"Well... Maybe she's a bystander?" Jason tried to remind him cryptically, but judging from Peter's expression and the way he shook his head, he didn't take it seriously.

"Okay, uh... so what do you plan to do in the future?" Jason's sudden change of topic made Peter a little overwhelmed. He originally thought that Peter was a lobbyist invited by Gamora, and it was necessary for Egg to convince himself. problematic, but it doesn't seem to be the case now.

"What should I do?" Peter asked in a daze.

"Guardians of the Galaxy!" Jason tilted his head and pointed at Peter, "You have found your father now, so you should stay with him on this planet together in the future? The Guardians are disbanded." ?”

"No!" Peter vehemently objected to the idea, more vehemently than Jason expected, "What are you talking about? I'm not giving up on the Guardians of the Galaxy! We're a good team!"

"But your dad..."

"I believe my dad won't object either. In fact, he found me only after he heard about our battle with Ronan!"

"Yes." Jason's noncommittal appearance made Peter uneasy, as if Jason was hiding something and didn't intend to explain it to him.

"What!" Peter didn't intend to sound like a jerk, but there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, "You can say whatever you want!"

Jason pursed his lips slightly, and that hesitant expression made Peter raise his heart even more.

"Don't you think you've acted too decisively?" Jason raised a finger, "First of all, your teammates don't have the slightest trust in your new father."

"This—" Peter wanted to defend himself, but was interrupted by Jason's argument.

"Secondly," Jason raised a second finger, "Do you know what dear dad thinks of your escort? Are you sure he has no other plans?"

"What do you mean by 'other arrangements'? What can be arranged?" Peter was completely at a loss now. To put it bluntly, he didn't have any rejection of the current life, and he didn't think about any different changes in the future.

"That kind of 'father's arrangement'!" Jason said as a matter of course, "Look, I died before, so the future that my old man originally planned is in vain, right?"

Peter nodded blankly, yes, if he died, all the things he wanted to do before and the things he expected to do in the future would all be forcibly ended.

"But am I alive now?" Jason patted his chest, and slowly walked down a step in the garden, "Then the old man originally wanted me to go to college and study departments related to literature—because I Like those! You know, books and stuff."

Peter knew that, Jason loved books.I want to be a novelist in the future, and write the stories of Robin and Batman into classic novels like the complete works of Sherlock Holmes that will be passed down forever.

"As a result, he knew that after I came back to life, I learned other things from different people, which was not in his original blueprint for life, so he gave me a bunch of tests, such as career interest analysis and various subject ability tests .”

"Wait, I thought your family was all heroes?" Peter thought of the base in the universe, which looked very formal!

"What? No! That's a part-time job. Every hero has a normal job during the day, okay? For example, The Flash is a CSI, Da Chao is a reporter, and Green Lantern is a pilot. Everyone has a proper job." The smile on Jason's face It's a bit weird, as if trying not to despise Peter, "If you don't have a job, do you think heroes don't have to eat and pay rent?"

Well, Peter admits he was a little silly.

"What I want to say is that my dad and I are re-arranging our lives. Although we don't have a clear direction, at least he tries to understand my ability and ideas. He doesn't want me to be a full-time job. Vigilante, say that such a life will destroy a person, since I am alive, I should live in the sun openly." Jason thought of the absurd travel accident that Bruce and Thalia co-starred, and everything It is to allow Jason to be "Jason" in an upright manner, instead of hiding behind false identities one after another. Although he is alive, he cannot completely escape death.

"Peter, what's the arrangement between you and your father?" Jason looked at Peter's blank eyes and asked sincerely, "It's good that you finally reunited. But after that? You have to continue with the guards." If you roam the galaxy, will he come with you? Or can he make this a base for the Guardians of the Galaxy?"

"I...I don't know." Peter tried hard to recall the conversation he had with Egg, they talked about their mother, the story of how Egg and his mother met, and about the light of the planet.

and then?

Gone.

What they discussed most was the light of the planet, the beauty of this power, if Peter learned to manipulate the light of the planet, he could use this power to do all kinds of things.Apart from that, Egg didn't ask him other questions, such as the adventures of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Peter's life before saving the Qaidar... no.

"I remembered that I told Egg that we would meet later, and I'm about the same time now..." Peter said hesitantly, his steps gradually accelerated, "Do you still remember the way back? Okay, okay, then I'll go back Walk."

Jason watched Peter disappear into the garden as if fleeing.Like a silent ghost, Damian slid down from a nearby tree and walked over to Jason to watch the direction in which Peter disappeared.

"Not too stupid." Damian commented, then raised his head to look at Jason's profile and asked, "Speaking of what father's department suggested to you last time, I think it's pretty good."

When Jason thought of this topic, he couldn't help holding his forehead and sighing: "No, Damian. Just because I practiced with monks doesn't mean I want to study Buddhism and become a Buddhist master, okay? Dad is obsessed with metaphysics, so don't learn it. He, good."

"Otherwise, seminary is fine?" Damian tried a different suggestion.

"Do you think I look like a priest?"

"I think it's okay." Damian nodded solemnly, "But we can't let Drake see you in priest's attire. His perverted mind must have all the obscene thoughts of pinning you on the altar."

"...You first tell me how you know the specific content of 'such and such'?"

"My mother gave me sex education classes."

"Remind me to call her when I get back."
