The hand, which impressed Jason, quickly disappeared in the flowing crowd, and Dick and Jason sat in the fast-food restaurant eating food over and over again, discussing the direction in which the owner of the hand might go.

"You saw that hand when you turned your head to me"

Dick simply traced on a napkin the intersection where the two men had just been, they were walking in a southeasterly direction, and he was standing to the left of Jason, who had turned his head to aim at the hand. Dick quickly drew the location of the three people, and Jason didn't notice it when he looked straight ahead, so the owner of the hand should be in the northeast direction.

"Do you see which way he's going?"

"Nope"

It was a fleeting feeling, and by the time Jason tried to capture the hand again, its owner had already been overwhelmed by the flowing crowd.

"Hmmm......"

Dick drew a few arrows on a napkin and said:

"He's supposed to be heading north"

"Why are you so sure?"

Jason asked curiously.

"That part of the flow of people is going north, and it would be noticeable if he went the other way, but we didn't notice anything like that happening."

Dick said as he pulled out a small handheld electronic dictionary, but when he opened it, Jason realized that it was a miniature computer.

Dick quickly connected to a nearby surveillance network and pulled out the footage of the one they had just walked by. Because of the high position of the camera, it is not possible to see if there is the hand that Jason said in the dense crowd, but judging from the overall flow of people, it is true that no one is walking against the crowd.

But this only determines the general whereabouts of that person, and the scope is still too wide, if only Jason had seen that person's face.

"I'll send you back when you're done"

Dick felt that his patrol target had a general direction tonight.

"What about you?"

Jason could almost guess what Dick was in such a hurry to go back.

"I'll go find Barbara and ask her to help me later."

Jason looked at Dick, who was staring at the computer and was deep in thought, and said coldly:

"You like her?"

“.. What... Ahem..."

Jason's words make Dick almost choke on Coke.

"Barbara"

Dick always seemed to go to Barbara for various reasons, and Jason felt that it was more than just allies in the united front.

“... So obvious? ”

Seeing Jason nod, Dick scratched his head in a frustration.

"You haven't confessed yet?"

It's a little different from Dick, at least from Alfred's mouth Dick is the kind of boy who is very popular.

“... No, I was denied."

Jason's question sets off Dick's scars again, and he confesses, then is rejected.

“... I thought no woman could resist your charm."

Dick was a copy of Bruce in this regard, and he was surprised that Barbara would refuse.

“... Come on, she's the woman who excluded Bruce from love."

Dick was a little frustrated, Barbara's age was closer to Bruce's age than he was, and at that time he thought Barbara would be one of Bruce's many women, like Catwoman and poison ivy... Well, poison ivy can not be counted, that woman is only interested in plants and not in men, but in general he has not seen a woman who can resist Bruce's charm, whether it is Bruce. Wayne was still Batman, and in fact the two of them almost made it, but in the end Barbara gave up.

But that's fine, so that the identity of the bat girl will exist for so long and become a member of the bat family.

Jason looked at Dick's rare decadent appearance with interest.

After dinner, Dick sent Jason back to the manor and rushed back, he had a lot to do.

Tonight Bruce seemed to have found some clue and gave up his nightly routine.

Jason hesitated to tell Bruce what he had discovered during the day, though he promised Dick not to say it.

"Jason, don't tell Bruce about finding out about that intelligence dealer today, okay?"

"Why? He'll find out sooner or later anyway."

It was Batman, and Jason didn't know why Dick thought he could hide it.

“.. Well, okay, then hide it from him for a while, and hide it for as long as you can. The intelligence dealer handed it over to me. ”

Jason didn't answer Dick's words, but looked at Dick with a distrustful look.

"Listen to Jason, the clues of this matter are too miscellaneous, Bruce has piled up too many clues in his hands, but none of them can be coherent, the line of intelligence dealers still extends from you, otherwise we don't know about his existence at all, Bruce has other major clues to sort out, so he handed it over to me."

Jason was upset by Dick's inexplicable self-confidence, but Dick did know a lot more than he did about it, Dick had followed Bruce from the beginning to the present, and he was only halfway home.

"That.. Okay"

Looking at Dick's serious eyes, Jason felt that he couldn't refuse his request.

"Jason"

Jason was in the middle of a battle between heaven and man when Bruce suddenly shouted his name, startling Jason.

"What? Bruce? ”

"You and Dick are going to a football game?"

Bruce asked thoughtlessly, so that Jason didn't react for a long time.

"Hmm... Barbara gave two tickets."

"Which one are you going to see?"

"Barbara's ticket is not fixed, you can go to see it at any time"

"Yes?"

Then this sudden conversation ended, and Jason was inexplicable. He was used to the fact that every word of Bruce had its own purpose, so he kept thinking about what Bruce meant by this sentence.

Is it warning him not to be too playful, after all, he has a lot to learn.

"Ah, don't worry Bruce, I'm not going to drop the progress"

Jason hurriedly made assurances, for fear that Bruce would think that he would delay something important because he was playful.

"Please don't worry about Master Jason, Master Bruce is just throwing a tantrum at no one inviting him"

Alfred walked out of the elevator with freshly baked cookies, coffee, and milk, and it was time to soothe Jason's anxiety.

"Huh? Does Bruce also like to watch college football leagues? ”

"Yes, Young Master Bruce has always been a fan of Omilburn since he was a child"

"Huh? Dick seems to like St. Dewey's."

"Yes"

Jason looked at the black figure with his back to them, thought about it, lowered his voice and asked Alfred quietly:

“.... If Saint-Dewey fights Omilburn, will the two of them fight?"

"That's not going to happen, Master Dick will go to Master Clark every time to watch the league of St. Divi, and almost never watch it with Master Bruce"

“... Superman likes to watch it too."

A thought popped into Jason's head:

"Dick doesn't like St. Dewey because Superman likes it?"

“.. Well, I don't know about that."

Alfred let out a meaningful smile, and although he didn't answer Jason's question directly, Jason felt that he had guessed correctly.

Bruce didn't seem to hear the whispers of the two people behind him at all, and had been busy with the things in his hands, Jason looked at the busy back for a long time, and then thought about it and decided to say it, he was not very worried that Dick would deal with the old treacherous guy alone:

"Bruce, I saw that boss when I was shopping with Dick today"

Bruce's men paused for a moment, and soon understood who Jason was referring to by the boss.

"Dick went after him?"

From the very beginning, Jason looked like he had something to say, and it seemed that this was the case.

"Hmm"

"Let him go, I have a clue to follow here"

Jason thought that Bruce would make a move when he heard that Dick was tracking him alone, but Bruce didn't seem to have any intention of acting at all, even if it was to call Dick or something.

"Aren't you worried? He went to track the guy alone."

"Don't worry, Dick isn't that weak"

Bruce continued to busily analyze the information in his hand, casually comforting Jason.

“.... You trust him so much."

"What?"

The almost muttered self-talk made Bruce, who was concentrated, not hear too clearly.

“.. Nothing."

Jason didn't expect Bruce to be so relieved that Dick was alone, and the thought that Dick was just more than 2 years older than him could make Bruce trust him so much made Jason feel some uncomfortable feelings in his heart.
