"Why do you want to search for water towers, old roofs, bell towers in the first place!?"

Jason sat behind Dick, so fast that he could only shout his own problems.

"Because these places are the most convenient places to hide large bombs, the main lethality of laughing gas bombs is laughing gas, and the volume of the container for storing laughing gas is not very small."

"Why don't you look for it on the new building??"

"The new high-rise residential building has very complete security equipment, and it is not easy for the clown to smuggle such a big thing up, and it is easy to be found when there are many people! And most importantly, the purpose of the clown is to let the laughing gas spread in the Gotham city to infect the population, the building is too high and too windy, which is not conducive to the gathering of laughing gas and is easy to be blown away, and the concentration is not enough to lose its effect!! ”

"Oh!!"

Dick sped away on his motorcycle towards several locked targets. Over the years following Bruce, the experience he has accumulated in dealing with clowns has really made a big difference. Dick found the expected bomb in several locations, a giant clown doll that Jason described as ultra-disgusting, but only eleven were found.

“... What to do? Dismantle? ”

Jason asked Dick uncertainly, if you think about it according to the convention, these eleven should all be fake.

"Damn.... Time is running out..."

Dick scratched his head in annoyance, it was less than half an hour before midnight, and he had to find the last one as soon as possible.

"Nightwing, how's it going?"

Batman's question came out of the communicator.

"It's not good, only eleven were found, what about you?"

"The Joker ran away as a substitute for Harley Quinley"

"Can you ask from Harley Harleyn?"

"She and the Joker are responsible for planting the bombs, and she only knows the six that she is responsible for."

"Where's the six?"

Dick asked eagerly, hoping that Harley Quinn would be the last bomb he couldn't find. But alas, all six bombs Harley Quinn was hiding have been found.

"Damn, what's more?? Where else could an explosion cause poison gas to cover the whole of Gotham tonight? ”

"Nightwing, do you need the wind to push the gas overlay?"

"Huh?"

Dick wondered why Jason was asking this question.

"I was just thinking, isn't the sewer pipe connected to the whole of Gotham?"

Jason knows quite well that when he steals something, escapes, or hides something, he will go to Gotham's underground network system, which is a maze, and the old and new drainage network systems are connected to a considerable scale throughout Gotham's underground network, and Bruce has several entrances and exits in Gotham's underground pipe network, causing Batman to be haunted.

Hearing Jason say this, Dick hurriedly called up a three-dimensional diagram of Gotham's underground pipe network system. After quickly eliminating several locations with a low probability of being used to plant bombs, an old underground drainage system was identified on the western edge of the city center, which was very suitable for both size and diffusion.

"Let's go!"

"Don't you care about these eleven bombs?"

"It must be fake, the one in the underground network is the real one"

With Dick's understanding of the clown, he would not have set such an easy location to find, and he was probably tired of hiding it in the bell tower several times.

The two of them finally found the bomb in the underground pipe network in the last five minutes, Jason felt that the Joker's taste could be more than a limit, at least the eleven Bombermen on the ground still looked like a good doll, although a little ugly, and the underground one completely copied the Joker's own appearance from the shape to the color scheme, and it looked like a giant Mr J doll.

Dick watched the value of the timer on the doll's stomach keep decreasing, and immediately climbed into the doll and carefully dismantled the shell of the bomb, leaking the pipes inside. Bruce rushed over when he carefully cut through the outer pipes one by one, peeling off another layer of pipes that leaked inside.

As soon as Jason was about to speak, Bruce made a quiet gesture, he didn't go up to replace Dick who was defusing the bomb, but just stood there quietly watching Dick busy.

Beads of sweat slowly dripped down Dick's face, but Dick's hands did not tremble in the slightest, and he did not even breathe a little messily, and finally succeeded in cutting off the deadliest line in the last few seconds, and the numbers on the timer stopped beating.

"Whew~~"

With a long sigh of relief and wiping the sweat from his face, Dick realized that Bruce had arrived.

"Where's the clown?"

"Handed over to the police"

"It's true, isn't it?"

"Right"

It took a little effort for Bruce to find out the real location of the bomb from the Joker's mouth and rushed over immediately, but it seemed that Dick had already found the place first.

"Ah, alright, let Gordon take care of this, let's go back and have a big meal."

Dick climbed down from the doll and rubbed his sore eyes. , and then found Jason staring at him all the time.

"What's wrong?"

Dick asked Jason curiously.

“.. Nothing."

What made Jason care more about Bruce's unconditional trust than Dick's successful defuse of a bomb was Bruce's unconditional trust just now, and Bruce didn't even mean to walk over and take a look.

"Aha, I see, I was so handsome just now, I fascinated you!"

Dick smiled and walked over to Jason with his hands outstretched.

"Not at all"

It's a bit handsome, but Jason won't admit it. Looking at Dick as he approached, Jason instinctively took two steps back.

With just two steps back, Jason suddenly felt something tripped under his feet, and then a slight click sounded in the underground space.

Before Jason could react to anything, Dick swooped down and threw him to the ground, followed by Bruce's black figure, a huge black cloak covering all three of them, followed by a sound like a balloon popping, and then a cheerful Christmas song filled the space with the sound of fireworks.

Jason looked out through Dick's arm, fireworks were spraying out of the clown doll's belly, an ugly turkey doll bouncing out of it, a piece of paper in its mouth, and cheerful Christmas music coming from the turkey's body.

“... Fake bombs? ”

"No, it's a real bomb"

"But..."

"We can only say that we were lucky, this time the clown didn't put a laughing gas bomb"

Dick said solemnly, his expression really made Jason feel uneasy, if the bomb was real, his actions just now almost put them all in trouble.

"Why would he do that?"

Jason looked at the piece of paper that said "Merry Christmas" and couldn't understand it.

"He's a madman, so he can do anything, sometimes it's just for fun, everything is a game for the Joker, it's just a game item, and this time we were lucky enough to come across a harmless game item. That guy from the clown actually started a chain bomb..."

Dick was a little upset that he hadn't found the chain just now.

After returning to Wayne Manor, Jason had no appetite at all, and after washing himself, he casually ate a few Christmas dinners and made an excuse to go back to his room.

"What's wrong with him?"

Dick casually picked up a strange-shaped gingerbread and threw it into his mouth, wondering Jason's reaction.

"It tastes good, but Ah Fu, are you going to take the abstract route now? Why can't I tell what this looks like? ”

Dick took another one, carefully discerning whether it was a pentagram or a humanoid or something else.

"That was done by Master Jason, I think Master Jason may have been frightened, after all, this is the first time he has come into contact with a bomb"

"Jason? This kid has a talent for cooking..."

Dick looked at Jason's back and fell into thought.

Jason went back to his room and lay on the bed only to notice that his legs had been shaking.

"It's inferior!"

I tried to control the trembling, but I trembled even more.

"Hopefully undiscovered.."

Relaxed, Jason realized how nervous he was at the moment the bomb exploded. How on earth did Dick manage to not panic at all at that point?

Jason was lying on the bed, his mind full of Dick's expression at the moment of the bomb disposal, without a trace of panic, without any doubts at all, as if he had done that action hundreds of times, trimming, arranging, analyzing, cutting the thread until the bomb was completely dismantled.

"When am I going to be able to do that?"

"Do that?"

A voice interjected, and Jason almost jumped out of bed in fright. When I turned around, I realized that Dick was crouching on the side of the bed and stared at him with two eyes.

“... What are you doing? ”

"Night Raid, give me some space"

Dick said as he climbed out of bed and slipped into Jason's bed.

"Night attack on your sister! I'm going to attack you at night, I'm going to attack Barbara at night! ”

Jason, who finally reacted, tried hard to kick Dick out of his bed.

"Don't make a fuss, she'll be disabled if she attacks at night, it's snowing and it's cold tonight."

"Do you think I'll believe it?"

Jason slammed his head on Dick's face, he wouldn't believe Dick's that he was afraid of the cold, and that boy who followed Bruce around with his bare legs in the winter would be afraid of the cold? Besides, although Wayne Manor is old, it will be transformed according to the times, and the wall structure is all insulated, even if there is no stove, the temperature in the room will not be particularly low, how can it be cold, he doesn't feel cold, let alone Dick.

"Hmph, just your little bit of energy, it's like tickling"

Dick slammed the pillow back and said defiantly.

"Ahh Yes?! ”

Dick's words succeeded in piquing Jason's competitive spirit, and Jason picked up the long pillow on the bed.

"Do you want to fight?"

"Oh, as if you could beat me"

Jason smashed the pillow in his hand towards Dick, and then pounced on the two of them scuffled together, the bed that was always disliked by Jason was too big for him to sleep, it finally reflected its big advantage, the two of them fought from one side to the other, just don't worry about falling.

"Ahem!"

There was a cough at the door, and the two men who were fighting each other turned their heads together to look at the two figures standing in the doorway.

Bruce stood in the doorway and looked at them with a blank expression, while Alfred stood behind him, his hand still resting on his chin to indicate that he had just coughed.

Bruce glanced at them, then said an early rest before turning to leave.

"Master Dick, the injury on your back is not healed, please rest early, and the game of pillow battle before going to bed should be stopped."

Alfred thoughtfully gave a reason that was irrefutable.

When Jason's bedroom door was closed, Dick simply lay down on the bed and said:

"Wow, it's been a long time since I've played pillow fights"

"You used to play?"

Seeing that Dick didn't seem to have any intention of going back to his room, Jason simply gave up and lay down directly.

"Yes, when I was a child, I used to play with my dad before bed, and then I was scolded by my mom"

Dick said that when he was a child, sometimes he would miss that time, the carefree joy.

"Bruce hasn't played with you since he adopted you?"

“... Do you think he looks like someone who can play this kind of game? ”

Dick asked with a smirk, and Jason thought back to Bruce's personality before saying:

"Won't"

"Isn't that the end of it?"

What Dick didn't say was that it wasn't just because of Bruce, he was also immersed in the pain of losing his parents, and fighting criminals seemed to be the only thing he needed to do at that time, and with Bruce all day, training and studying took up most of his time, and pillow fights or anything was no longer possible to play.

“... You've been following Bruce for a long time."

After a long silence, Jason finally spoke again.

"Yes, I followed him to fight crime when I was 9 years old"

"Do you know his relationship with Catwoman?"

"Catwoman? Serena, you say? ”

"Right"

"Why are you interested in her?"

"I saw her that day, and she didn't seem to have a good relationship with Bruce"

"Oh, she's really unusual, she almost became Mrs. Wayne"

"Huh?"

Jason thought back to the attitude of the two of them on the rooftop that day.

"Why aren't you married?"

"Hmm... How to say it, Serena does listen to Bruce's heart, and Bruce's identity is special, Serena also has an advantage in this regard, but in the end, it still doesn't work, the two people's personalities are not very good, Serena's personality is like a cat, you can do whatever you want, don't look at Bruce hugging a bunch of beauties all day long, in fact, he is not the kind of character who will compromise, Bruce even bought the ring, but in the end, the two of them still can't do it, and now their relationship is basically in a state of friend or foe."

"Enemy?"

"That woman has an inexplicable desire for jewelry, she likes to steal jewelry, so"

"Isn't it money?"

"No, it's jewelry, Bruce gave her a lot of gems when he was dating her, but she still likes to steal, so she can't marry Bruce from this point of view..."

"That's right."

"And what about Mr. Freeze?"

"He, he'.............."
