Dick was woken up by thunder, and Gotham seems to have had an unusually high number of thunderstorms this year. Thanks to the fact that he had slept last night, or rather in the early hours of this morning, Dick's mind was now full of mud, and he tried to open his eyes to a slit to see the dim light coming from the heavy curtains, and turned over and buried his head in the quilt again, intending to go back to sleep despite the damn thunder.

Another thunder almost exploded by the window of Dick's room, finally waking Dick from his sleep completely.

Rolling up from the bed, walking to the window, and looking at the rainstorm outside, Dick pouted without pouting.

Although Gotham is already a rainy city, it is indeed in Gotham's rainy season, which is completely different from the metropolis across a bay, which is always gloomy and gloomy sky.

But this year's rain is so much that it's a bit abnormal, especially in the past two days, thunderstorms are almost a daily must.

Bored watching the rain for a while, Dick finally got his own stomach into the kitchen, poured a bowl full of cereal, poured hot milk on it, and then walked to the living room with the bowl of "breakfast", eating and watching TV.

There was so much rain that no matter which one Dick replaced, it was impossible to get rid of it, and there was a traffic jam caused by heavy rain or a sewage overflow caused by a clogged sewer pipe.

Dick was bored as he manually changed the channel while wondering if the informant he had found last night was reliable.............

【.. Bruce. Wayne's adopted son ...........]

The shrill female voice on the TV pronounced familiar names and familiar words into Dick's thinking brain, and Dick stopped stuffing cereal into his mouth and picked up the remote control to turn up the volume as much as he could.

The background shown on the television footage, which Dick was all too familiar with, was the main entrance to the Wayne Building.

"Jason? What's wrong? ”

There are only two people who can be called Bruce's adopted son, although Jason is not officially registered in law, but this does not prevent the public from acquiescing to the identity of Bruce Wayne's adopted son, since he is here intact at the moment, it is only Jason.

Dick turned up the volume and listened quietly to the woman in the picture reporting the shocking news:

[According to the news, Bruce. Wayne's second adopted son, Jason. Todd, who was kidnapped by a jail-breaking Joker in the Middle East yesterday, was involved in the fight between the Joker and Batman and was blown up and killed. Foreman reports for you]

Dick was blown up from the couch by the words of the female reporter in the picture, not noticing that the bowl full of cereal had fallen to the ground and was scattered everywhere.

“.. Scam.. It's a lie."

Dick hurriedly found his phone, but found that it was turned off, hurriedly turned it on, and before it could calm down, a call to the point of access made the phone sound a screeching ringtone.

Dick saw that the interface was Barbara's call, and after connecting it, Barbara's anxious voice came out of the earpiece:

"Dick, you're on the phone, I contacted you all morning, the phone is off, the communicator has no signal, have you read the news?" That's not true."

Dick looked at the crowded door of Wayne's business on the TV screen, frowned and returned:

"Barbara, I'll call you later"

Hanging up Barbara's phone, Dick put on a casual set of clothes and rode his motorcycle in the direction of Wayne Manor.

When he reached the gate of Wayne Manor, Dick stopped, looked at the crowd at the gate of the manor, which was not lost at all to the gate of Wayne's enterprise, and frowned, and finally turned around and rode towards the nearest Batcave passage.

As soon as he entered the cave, Dick didn't even have time to stop the locomotive and threw it on the ground, so he hurried towards the elevator. Approaching the elevator, something breaks Dick's pretended calm stance.

In the corner next to the computer, a newly erected cylindrical glass cover housed the red uniform that Dick was familiar with, and its tattered was now in tatters.

"Oh . . . No, that's not true."

Dick ran into the elevator as quickly as he went crazy, and the high-speed elevator, which was supposed to be measured in seconds, now made Dick feel like a century had passed.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Dick immediately ran towards Bruce's study, where he knew he must be.

Pushing open the door, the study was silent, and the man he was looking for was sitting in the chair he usually sat in, quietly facing away from Dick, which shattered Dick's hope that he would only hear the news of Jason's serious injury.

“... Why...."

The trembling vocal cords could not even utter a complete question.

"Jason went to his mother, and his mother and the Joker teamed up"

The man's voice was calm and unwavering, and the tone of voice, which could not hear emotions, simply told the reason for the matter.

Dick struggled to keep his vocal cords under control, and then asked:

"What about you?"

“... I didn't make it."

It's just a little bit closer, the Batfighter is a little bit faster, he still has a very weak breath when he finds Jason, the explosion is the cause of his death, as long as he is faster, he can save Jason before the explosion.

"I mean, where were you before that? You let him go to the Middle East alone? ”

Bruce was never a good parent, and Dick knew that for a long time, but no matter how unreliable he was, he shouldn't let an underage run abroad on his own, and Jason had just passed his fifteenth birthday.

“.………… I'm in the Met."

“... With Clark? ”

Ha? Being with Superman but saying he wasn't in a hurry? Superman can reach any corner of the world in another second, but Bruce says he didn't have time to arrive??

"Bruce, I know you're a very suspicious person, you can always find a hundred reasons to suspect Clark, even if you are a good pair in everyone's eyes, but you will still say no. But I didn't expect that Jason's life and death were at stake, and you still refused to ask him for help? Bruce, it's your arrogance that killed Jason! ”

A punch that didn't hold back at all slammed into Dick's cheek, knocking him to the ground and preventing him from continuing.

Dick sat on the floor for a moment, then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and glared fiercely at the burly man in front of him.

"Humph! It hasn't changed at all, as long as someone says it's right, you'll fight back like a cat with its tail stepped on, you're such a ghost, Bruce! ”

"Then let me see if you've grown to the point where you can call yourself a man"

Dick let out a roar and leapt from the ground to the ground and pounced on Bruce, the two men fighting together like two wounded beasts.

No weapons, no skill, pure contest of strength and endurance, the two men fought from one end of the room to the other, completely ignoring the expensive antique furniture in the room.

When Alfred and Barbara walked into the room, they were stunned by the near-ruins of the room in front of them.

"Oh my God"

"Stop fighting, what are you doing?!!"

Barbara saw an opportunity to intervene between the two men who were beating each other in the rubble to stop the purely venting brawl.

"Get out of the way Barbara, I must let this old thing know today that even Superman can't always solve problems on his own"

Dick yelled at Barbara.

"That's enough, what the hell are you doing? Jason won't be happy to see you guys like this! ”

Barbara had learned the general story of the matter from Alfred, and she was saddened by Jason's death, but the angry beating would not solve anything.

Hearing Barbara say this, Dick glared fiercely at the man sitting on the floor for a long time, and then left angrily.

"I'll go see him"

Barbara said hello to Alfred and chased after Dick, leaving only Alfred and Bruce in the room.

"Don't say anything ....., Ah Fu"

“... If that makes you feel better........"

Barbara followed Dick into his room, looked at the man who sat decadently on the bed between a boy and a man, thought for a moment and said:

"Well, Dick, Bruce doesn't feel good either... Jason's death..."

"Barbara"

Dick interrupted Barbara, and said in that low, decadent, lifeless voice:

"Jason called me the other day and asked if I was free to go with him somewhere, and he wanted to meet the woman at that time, and what about me? What am I doing? I was afraid of what to do if I was overtaken by Jason and refused his request.....I'm sorry Barbara left me alone for a while"

Barbara looked at Dick's lowered head, and finally exited Dick's room, Jason's death Dick is probably the most unforgivable.

[Red suits you very well, red hair, temper and temper, wearing a set of red clothes, are you planning to change your name to Red Robin? 】

[Red Robin, that sounds very good, I decided to use this title when I flew solo]

[Flying solo? Aren't you going to inherit Bruce's Batman title? 】

[Bruce is not retired, I will inherit it when he retires, and I won't let it go to you]

[I don't want it, okay]

[Really don't? Batman]

[Don't, I have my own code name]

[I know you want to inherit Superman's code name, but don't think about it, you don't have superpowers and can't fly]

[I don't want to, I'm Nightwing]

[Hmm... Whatever you want, but I'll be the next Batman]

[You're happy, but the kid told you that the name is not a good thing, it's a curse]

[It's useless for you to bluff me, I'm not afraid]

………………………….

“..... his boring self-esteem ......"

Dick choked and cursed in a whisper..........
