Chapter 152 Chapter 152 [VIP]

Jason had planned it long ago. Once the safe house was set up, he would invite his best friend to come and play. After dinner, they would have to stand for a while before they could sit down to play. He took out the teddy bear for Megan from the cabinet. Seeing the little blonde girl lowering her head and hugging the soft white bear, he suddenly felt that Megan looked better with black hair. Even if her blonde hair was lighter, it might make her fair skin look more eye-catching, but Megan was originally the cutest child.

He leaned in with Megan and touched her hair again. This time, paying closer attention, he noticed some golden powder on his fingertips. It must be the dye Megan used on her hair. It looked like a one-time application and wouldn't damage her hair. But he still asked, "Did the Mad Hatter dye your hair? Did he use powder dye?"

Megan hummed, "He said that without bleaching, this hair dye can be washed out with water."

Jason thought about it, and since Megan today was the limited edition tinsel bear, he suddenly became interested and suggested: "How about I take some photos of you? It just so happens that the Mad Hatter did a hairstyle for you, and you look so cute today." When he mentioned the Mad Hatter, there was no strangeness in his tone. On the contrary, he didn't want to waste Megan's different hairstyle from usual.

Seeing her nod, Jason took out his camera from the room, but looked around the safe house, trying to find a suitable venue and background. Finally, he found a bunch of white bear dolls of various shapes that he had hidden away. They were originally gifts for Megan. If she wanted to find something here in the future, she would find the little bears everywhere. However, he had taken out most of them himself, but it didn't matter. He could add more later.

Light-colored plaid cloth is laid on the floor and background of the living room, and then the dolls are spread out. In fact, there is more than just the little bear, because the little bear might be lonely if it is alone, so there are also white rabbits, white dogs, white whales and other dolls.

Now Megan stretched her legs and sat among a pile of dolls, with her skirts spread out in layers. She also looked like a big doll, but her eyebrows and eyes were more lively than theirs, and she looked more energetic. When she raised her eyes, she gave Jason a small smile.

Jason thought she only liked the bear, but Megan reached out and picked up the white rabbit next to her and put it directly on her head. The rabbit doll had two long ears that hung on both sides of Megan's cheeks. She said, "Mr. White Rabbit."

…

Jason's photography skills are pretty good. There are pictures of Megan surrounded by dolls, of her holding hands with a teddy bear doll like good friends, of her with a smiley balloon but she's not smiling, of her sitting on a high counter looking down with her eyes full of green, clear and bright, and finally when they leaned over to look at the image on the screen, Jason took the opportunity to turn the camera over and raised his wrist high. They all looked up together, and with a 'click', a candid photo was taken.

Both children had smiles on their faces and relaxed postures. Jason looked gentle, but Megan's expression was curious, which made her look more genuine.

They looked at every photo in the camera and deleted the ones that were not very good-looking. There were still a dozen photos left. Jason said that the photos could not be developed today, and he would send them to her house when they were developed. So after putting down the camera, they looked for new games to play.

Jason took out the game controller, prepared everything, and sat cross-legged on the sofa in front of the TV. It was his turn to teach Megan how to play the game.

He knew that Megan didn't play games much, so he helped her get through the first few levels, giving her a basic understanding of this relaxing and casual collection game. After she knew how to control the character, Jason took her to the next level. The map of each level was not big, but not small either. In addition to collecting the main items, Megan also liked to let the game character run around, going to every corner of the map, and stepping on the entire map along the edge before she would go to the next level.

The game was originally played by two people. In addition to collecting, there is also some simple combat design. When Megan's character is running around, Jason will kill the monsters on the map and get the dropped items. When he sees her bump into the monsters and get attacked, he will rush over to fight the monsters.

Megan was getting more and more aggressive with the words 'hit it'.

The more levels you unlock, the more ways to play and mini-games you will encounter. During the game, Jason will also explain some game-related information and plot. His words are humorous and interesting, which makes Megan very involved in the game.

Playing games for a long time is bad for the eyes. During breaks, they crowded at the window to look down and into the distance. Jason also taught Megan the technique of massaging the acupoints around the eyes. After returning to the house, they read books. Jason recited his favorite poems, and Megan sat beside him and listened quietly.

"I wander alone, like a cloud drifting slowly across the valley..."*

When Jason glanced at Megan beside him, she was breathing softly, her eyelashes were long, and her expression was full of peace and stability. He couldn't help but smile with the same meaning as hers. In all the time he had experienced, even if this moment was uneventful, it was also worth remembering and cherishing by him.

Suddenly, the light coming in from the window dimmed. Jason stopped talking instantly and stood up subconsciously to block Megan. However, when he looked over, he found that the person coming was Batman, who had obviously been through a battle. The half of the Dark Knight's face that was exposed was almost meaningless, but Jason was too familiar with him and guessed that the Mad Hatter had been dealt with.

But he looked unhappy because Batman's sudden arrival might scare his friends, and he hadn't told Batman the location of his safe house...

Although he knew he couldn't hide it from Batman from the day he set up the safe house, it still hit him a little hard.

In short, Jason was unhappy.

Batman hung in front of the window, silently watching Jason. Before that, he had already seen what was happening inside the room, and the child. The first thing he saw was that they had just played and were reading a book. Then there was Megan. She was blocked behind Jason, but she was not afraid of the current emergency. Instead, she stood up and peeked out from behind Jason. Because Jason was unhappy, she also frowned, but there was no further meaning behind the unhappy expression -

Just because she and Jason are friends, she looks like she is on the same front with Jason.

Batman recognized her at first sight, and he still remembered what she looked like when Dick rescued her. Later, her family received funding from the Special Children's Care Fund, and she was raised well. A few years later, he heard her name from the new Robin - Jason. They became good friends and often played together at night. Alfred would also ask Jason to bring her desserts and snacks.

And now that Jason had brought her to his safe house, the relationship between the two children had become closer than they had ever imagined before Batman arrived.

But it only took him a split second to analyze and recall these things. He appeared at the window for only two seconds and then disappeared without a word.

Batman's figure flashed in front of the window, and after he left, Jason closed the window with force and snorted. Megan followed him and looked out through the window, but the dark and oppressive figure was no longer there.

Megan turned her head and asked slowly, "Don't you like Batman?" When they were playing together, Jason would mention Batman many times. Maybe he was strict and had high demands on Jason, but in his words, B was undoubtedly a very good person.

——In fact, he is very good at joking and makes some mistakes, such as setting a bad example in life, but he is devoted to his family and cares for the two previous Robins equally. He is never biased even when they quarrel and fight. Even if Jason makes a mistake, he will patiently teach him and talk to him. Sometimes they get along like friends. In the vigilante career, as long as Jason's performance is satisfactory, he will be allowed to act alone to complete the mission.

Jason said that he had been a street child and was bullied. He had to steal to make a living. It was Batman who pulled him out of that quagmire. Batman treated him equally and he gained personal dignity for the first time.

So why is Jason acting unhappy now?

Jason was stunned by her question, then raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It's not that I don't like it, it's just, you know - Batman's temper."

Batman has a bad temper, which is well known to Gotham criminals. Criminals who have experienced broken bones, broken teeth, internal bleeding, and being knocked unconscious all know it. In addition, a few years ago, there was a debate in Gotham tabloids about whether Batman has the power to enforce the law. In the end, someone called for criminals to have human rights as well, and they protested against the violent law enforcement by vigilantes.

However, Gotham residents generally believe that Batman is a new urban legend.

Jason said Batman had a bad temper, and Megan was thinking, she tilted her head: "Oh, you are unhappy."

Being unhappy and disliking are two completely different attitudes. Megan tried to make an analogy, probably just like when she would bump her head against her father sometimes, even if she was just playing around on purpose, but she suddenly understood.

But the next thing she thought of was Batman... In the brief seconds when he arrived, they looked at each other, and Megan said, "He cares about you so much." Although he was hanging outside the window and didn't say a word, and her expression couldn't be seen clearly, at that moment, Megan thought of the way her father looked at her.

Jason:!

Megan also remembered one thing, "It seemed like they took me to the police station before." Of course, she couldn't remember what happened at that time. She had no memory of it and only heard about it from others.

Jason's chaotic emotions calmed down at once. Megan's words were vague, and her expression was full of curiosity that even she herself didn't know the inside story, but Jason had found a piece of information about her in the Batcomputer.

On a cold night a few years ago, the former Robin carried a child with a high fever out of the corner. Batman had also seen her. Her father reported her missing, and after she recovered in the hospital and returned home, she received support from the Special Children's Care Fund newly established by the Wayne Group.

A child named Megan was rescued and they became good friends.

Jason said, "Yeah, I get it." He chuckled, but he reached out and gently poked Megan's face. She was a good child now, growing up healthily, and had her own little temper. Her face was so soft, and he felt the same way.
