Chapter Seventy-Nine: Give Me One More Time, Jason
Back in the Batcave, Jason doesn't say anything about what happened. Jason's attitude drained Bruce's patience, causing the Dark Knight's tone to become worse and worse. He was sure that the man's fall must have something to do with Jason, but Jason didn't say anything about it.
"Jason! Answer me! β
Bruce finally lost his patience, and a good upbringing prevented him from swearing a word that didn't fit his identity.
"If I say it's okay with me, do you believe it?"
"You don't say anything, how do you make me believe?!"
"If it's Dick, you'll believe it, right? Well? β
"At least Dick doesn't disregard other people's lives!"
As soon as Bruce's words fell, he saw the dimming luster of his green eyes, and Bruce frowned and finally said the decision:
"Starting today, you're temporarily banned from going out as Robin, and you're not allowed to enter the Batcave"
Bruce didn't say anything to death in the end, but only temporarily banned Jason's Robin profession.
"Cut!"
Jason let out a reluctant cut, turned his head and hurried out of the bat cave, the musculature that began to gradually form jumped under the tights to show his dissatisfaction, he walked so fast that he almost hit Alfred, who had just come out of the elevator.
"Master Bruce, I hope you didn't really think that way just now"
Alfred heard the argument between Bruce and Jason, and from his point of view, Bruce's sentence was a bit too much.
"Ah Fu, ban Jason from entering the Bat Cave, forbid him from going out after seven o'clock in the evening"
Bruce did not answer Alfred's question and instead gave an order as the master.
Alfred knew that this was a sign that Bruce knew he was going too far but refused to admit it, so he could only follow his words:
"As you wish, sir"
Back in the room, Jason could only vent his anger on the pillow on the bed, and after holding the pillow and hitting the bed fiercely, he could only accept the reality that he was deprived of Robin's identity.
β.... Sure enough, it's still not as good as Dick...."
Dick followed Bruce earlier and was more sociable than himself, so he probably wouldn't have gotten into trouble with Bruce like this. And it's his words........... That guy wouldn't have jumped off the building, would he...........
Jason lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, then turned his gaze to the uniform he had left on the floor.
He chose this main red Robin uniform, and when he suddenly started to grow taller and had to change his uniform, he planned to take advantage of the situation to change Dick's original three-color uniform, and at first he thought that he would choose the same black as Bruce to facilitate his actions. He never understood why Dick chose a super conspicuous color scheme that was completely opposite to Bruce, and later learned that Dick chose this conspicuous color set at first just because it was good-looking, but in later actions, he found that if he was very conspicuous, Bruce's action became easier, so this uniform color, which was not much better than Superman's three primary colors, has been used until now.
After hearing Dick say this, Jason thought for a long time and finally decided on the color of the new uniform to red.
"Red suits you very well, red hair, tempered and hot-tempered, wearing a set of red clothes, are you going to change your name to Red Robin?"
Jason remembers the first day he ran to show Dick in his new uniform, and Dick's teasing words and his sneering expression............
Lying on the bed for a while, I finally got up from my corpse state, walked to the table, turned on the computer, and looked at the email on the screen - the woman's.
This is what he takes to Jason. Todd's identity went to the Heim Company to get it.
A boy of fifteen or sixteen, with a face identical to that of the woman, his half-truths and half-truths gained the sympathy and trust of the people who received him at the Heim Company.
His receptionist told him that the woman had been sent to the Middle East branch and might not be back anytime soon, so he gave him the woman's email address as his only contact method.
Open the email system, copy the address into the recipient, and watch the cursor jump in the box of the text, but you still don't know what to write.
So what to do at the beginning?
γAmount.. Hi, hello, I'm your son, Jason. Todd]
This definitely won't work, Jason can't even be sure if the woman is his own mother, after all, there are many people in this world who look alike, or
[Ms. Sheila, I don't know if you remember a man named Martin. Todd's Man]
If she asked, even if she really did, she would deny it, and a woman who abandoned her man and children without saying anything should not want to see him.
Jason grabbed his hair vigorously and thought about how to write this beginning, and finally after hesitating for a long time, he simply typed a few words into the content of the email:
γHello! I'm Jason. Todd]
Jason looked at the short, unintentional words, and figured that even if the woman was not the person he was looking for, then it would be better to assume that the letter had been sent by mistake, and after hesitating and hesitating, he pressed the send button.
How many days will it take for a response? One day? Two days? Or didn't reply at all? If you don't reply, you should be like that, Jason thought.
He didn't know that in a house far away in the Middle East, there was a person who looked at the message sent from the computer with a look of extreme excitement.
"Little Pudding, there's a cute little kid looking for mom again"
Harley Quinn sat in front of the computer and looked at the new email that had just arrived, and turned to the man sitting on the couch drinking coffee.
"Oh, what am I talking about? The long-lost meeting of mother and son, how touching, do you say it is Ms. Sheila?"
The clown jumped up from the couch in excitement, jumped next to the woman sitting on the chair across from him a few times, naturally put his arm around her shoulders, and asked with a big grin.
β..... Be... Yes"
Sheila didn't even dare to look at the Joker's smile that almost stuck to her face, and the brighter the Joker's smile, the more terrifying something was about to happen.
"Harry? Do you hear that? Our lady Sheila can't wait to meet her son."
"Hear me, MR J"
Harley Quinn's fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard.
"Oh, remember to write Ms. Sheila's mood at the moment"
The clown thought of something again, turned his head to the clown and said a word.
"No problem MR J"
Harley Quinn is a woman with a doctorate in psychology, and it is easy to imitate the tone of a mother who has not seen her child for a long time and is eager to see her child.
Soon the letter appeared on Jason's computer.
[Jason? Is Jason really you? My God, are you alright? Oh my God, how's your dad doing? Forgive me, I can't go to see you by the agreement with your father, tell me how you are doing? Is he good to you? He won't tell me about your current situation.........................]
Jason looked at the dense string of words, and between the lines showed a mother's thoughts about her son.
The finger lingered on the keyboard for a moment, and soon typed a sentence and sent it over.
[He's dead]
The other party soon replied again:
[Oh God, my poor child, do you have a place to live now?] I mean somebody adopted you? If... If not: Would you like to come back to me.....]
Jason looked at the reply and fell into deep thought.
Robin's suspicion had become a part of his life after being there for so long, and Dick sometimes laughed at him for being more and more like Bruce.
So at this moment, he faced the enthusiastic invitation letter sent by the woman opposite who might have been his biological mother, and he instinctively felt that something was not right, but he couldn't find anything suspicious at all.
The woman was in Gotham in the Middle East, she didn't have any conflict of interest at all, and she hadn't even been Bruce's adopted son when she left Gotham, but she wasn't sure she knew that she had been adopted by Bruce, after all, Bruce was a celebrity.
Jason finds out about the woman's past, and her experience makes it hard for Jason not to think that her passion for herself may have something to do with Bruce.
Looking at the address and phone number at the end of the reply, Jason thought for a moment and picked up the phone, his fingers wandering back and forth among the few remaining numbers in the phone book for a while, and finally dialed Dick's number.
"Jason? How did you remember to call me today? β
Dick and Jason hadn't seen each other for a long time, Dick had been busy with his own mess, and Jason was busy fighting crime with Bruce.
β... That one.. Dick... Have you been free lately, that... I want to go somewhere ................."
Jason said what he wanted, he really didn't want to tell Bruce, not only because he had just had a fight with Bruce, but more importantly, if his guess was correct, the woman was going to use him to get close to Bruce, and he wouldn't agree to anything.
Dick on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then said in a slightly apologetic tone:
"Sorry Jason, our team has been a bit busy lately... I'm sorry about that."
β... Oh it's okay, I'm hanging"
Dick can't be available all the time, he also has his own things to keep busy, and from the gossip between Bruce and Alfred, Jason knows that the team that Dick has formed is going well so far, and Bruce must be proud of him.
β... Forget it, I'll go myself"
It's just a woman, barely speaking, maybe it's related to herself, Robin can't even do this kind of thing.
Dick stood in the room and looked at the phone that had been hung up in his hand, squeezed an ugly smile out of his face and said:
"I'm sorry, little wings, give me some more time, I'm not ready, but it won't be long before I'll be able to face you calmly"
Jason's progress is too fast, from Barbara's mouth and the occasional encounter with Bruce with Jason on patrol, Dick knows how fast Jason's progress is, and also knows how much Bruce values Jason, and he himself is like a little ghost jealous of the other party but dare not show it, so he can only secretly work hard to grow up to ensure that he will not be left far behind by that child one day.
β... Give me some time, Jason."
