Chapter 370 The Price of the Cloak
"Huh...huh..."
In Dr. Leslie's clinic, since Jason was out of danger and there were other patients who were more in need of the intensive care unit, Jason took the initiative to request to be transferred to the general ward. Although Dr. Leslie refused, he really couldn't defeat the bat. Two barrels at home.
It was already past four in the morning, and Tim was fast asleep on the bed next to him, while Jason's eyes were open.
He is thinking.
"So, what happened to the Joker?"
"What else...Bruce beat him up and sent him back to Arkham."
When Bruce and the others left, he asked Tim about the follow-up of the Joker, but he learned from Tim that the Joker was still staying well in Arkham. Even though he still remembered Batman's teachings, but in his heart , still can’t calm down.
"Killing your little bird won't make you angry?! Oh, little Jiejie, I really feel unworthy for you..."
When he was unconscious, Jason also heard the clown's words in a trance.
Batman is also a human being, of course he will be angry, but... no matter how angry he is, Batman will not break his principles.
But Jason still felt uncomfortable about it, regardless of whether it was right or wrong. As a child, his will was strong enough, but just beating the clown violently could not erase the trauma Jason suffered.
This time, the clown almost killed himself! Just because the Joker is a lunatic and mentally ill should he be allowed to live in Arkham Asylum? Is this really justice?
Whether they are Batman or Robin, they are just vigilantes wearing masks. Batman has said that they have no right to judge anyone. All they can do is to stop the actions of the villains and prevent the people of Gotham from being harmed.
However, many people have been hurt by these madmen, but all Batman and Robin can do is send those madmen to the lunatic asylum. They are still alive and well, and can still make a comeback.
Jason is different from Dick and Tim. Although they are both orphans, Jason has struggled to survive in the streets of Gotham since he was a child. He has been exposed to the darkness hidden under the city of Gotham. He has understood the nature of the world of the jungle since he was a child, and When he became Robin, his style was more "hardcore", or... brutal, than Dick's.
Batman and Dick will at most incapacitate criminals, except in exceptional circumstances.
And Er Tong... When he was patrolling, the criminals he encountered basically had several broken bones.
Because he firmly believes that only by making criminals feel pain can the effect of punishment be achieved.
The Joker is indeed Batman's old enemy, and he may also be a good doctor after a long illness. What he is best at is playing with people's hearts.
When Jason was tortured by the Joker, the Joker often used his ruthless behavior towards criminals as an excuse, telling him that Batman didn't like such cruel behavior, so he was Batman's least favorite Robin, and Batman wouldn't do it at all. Come and save him.
The truth is the easiest thing to hurt.
In fact, even Jason himself felt that Batman didn't like him, but he had never thought that people in the Bat family had more or less childhood trauma, and their ability to express emotions was a shortcoming for them.
"The Jason Todd I know, even if he falls into the abyss of hell, he will try his best to crawl back to Gotham and burn his enemies to ashes."
Suddenly, Jason suddenly remembered that Mr. Brad, who claimed to be Deathstroke's cousin, once said this.
Somehow, Jason always felt that this sentence suited him very well.
Even if you fall into hell, you must climb out; even if your body is shattered, you must burn the enemy to ashes...
Perhaps from the beginning, Batman's path was not suitable for him.
perhaps……
Should you, like Dick, leave Gotham and find your own path?
"squeak……"
The door was gently pushed open.
Jason immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, but through his squinted eyes, he could clearly see the person coming.
It's Bruce, and Dick.
They looked very tired, perhaps because Tim was accompanying them, and Jason was recovering from a serious illness. Our Mr. Grayson had no hesitation in reliving the days when he was Batman's assistant.
"Are they asleep?" Dick asked softly.
"No..." Bruce looked at Jason on the bed and smiled, "When you first came to Wayne Manor, you liked to squint your eyes and pretend to be asleep, and then run out to steal other people's tires in the middle of the night..."
"Jason."
Jason's face turned red. He stood up slowly, looked at Tim who was sleeping beside him, and said softly to Bruce: "Don't talk about the old sesame and rotten millet in front of Dick and Tim, okay... "
"If you don't want me to tell Dick and the others about your embarrassing things, just go to bed." Bruce put away his smile and said seriously, "You have just recovered from a serious illness and need to rest, Jason."
"Actually, I really want to know more about it. After all, before Jason became Robin, I was still in college at Bludhaven..." Dick glanced at Jason teasingly.
"Shut up, Dick." Jason rolled his eyes at Dick, then sighed. "I can not sleep……"
"I know that the clown's torture to you must be cruel, kid." Bruce stepped forward slowly and patted the young man on the shoulder, "but you will get through it."
"I...I want to leave Gotham and go out for a visit." Jason looked at Bruce in front of him and said hesitantly, "After experiencing these things, I...I just feel out of breath."
"No matter where you are, no matter what you are doing, you are still a child of the Wayne family, and you are all my child. No one can change this, Jason."
Bruce was not surprised. In other words, after experiencing the deadly joke led by the Joker, Bruce hoped in his heart that these children would no longer participate in Batman's battles.
From the beginning, whether it was Dick, Jason or Tim, he was not prepared to let them deal with the most vicious criminals in the dark like him. That was what adults should do.
They were just kids, or rather, they were just kids when they became Robin.
Putting on the cape requires paying a price. Even if Bruce Wayne dies, he does not want the dark fate called "Batman" to be inherited by his children.
"You can go on a trip, Jason, but I think you need to learn more before you go. Anyway, you won't be able to fully recover from your current state for a while, right?" Dick looked pointedly. Bruce, "Coincidentally, Bruce hired two tutors for us earlier."
"I already have the best teacher in the world, Dick, but my teacher's path may not be suitable for me." Jason finally plucked up the courage and lowered his head and said. "There's no need for tutoring or anything like that, Bruce. You know I hate going to school. I get a headache when I see those questions."
"I don't want to go to college like Dick."
"Actually, it's not Bruce Wayne who's asking for a tutor, but Batman." Dick said, pretending to be a little regretful, "I thought you would be interested in the teaching methods of those two guys..."
"Those two guys?" Jason asked doubtfully.
"Slade Wilson..."
The name Dick said made Jason's eyes widen instantly.
"And Brad Doragon."
