Chapter 175 Chapter 175 Ben: I don’t know! …
After taking Jason to buy a space suit and a space translator, the hungry Li Hua went to a restaurant with Benjamin for dinner.
Therefore, they did not know that Jason, who wanted to further experience the function of the cosmic translator and find some alien-themed excitement, went shopping and went to the bar.
When Li Hua saw the smiling Green Lantern Hal coming with Jason who looked a little upset, his first reaction was that Jason went out to buy something and got ripped off in a shady store, and then was met by a kind-hearted Green Lantern passing by.
After he tried to comfort his dejected friend, all he got was a friend with an even uglier expression under his hood, and an adult with an increasingly arrogant smile on his face.
"It's not as simple as being cheated by a black market shop. He broke the law."
The shoulder formed by green energy pointed at the bag in Jason's hand, and the complacent adult said in a smug tone.
"Under 21 drinking, caught red-handed!"
Li Hua heard Benjamin beside him gasp, and saw Jason's face was so ugly that even the domino mask couldn't hide it after he took off the red hood. He knew that this law was not made up by unethical adults to scare children.
But... in the United States, 16-year-old minors can drive and check into a hotel, but they can't drink alcohol?
Does this mean to eliminate underage driving under the influence in every sense?
"We're not in America right now, or even on Earth. When did Green Lantern become so versatile as to catch underage drinkers across planets?"
Even though he knew Bruce would only say a few words if he found out, and nothing would happen, Jason still felt as heavy-hearted as the minor from Li Hua's hometown who had sneaked off to the internet cafe during the holiday and was caught red-handed by a parent or colleague who was also there.
It can be said that extreme joy leads to sorrow, grief and anger.
Hal's smile persisted. "Green Lantern's responsibilities aren't that broad, but I can still handle drunk driving. What if you get into trouble with your dad while driving in my area? What if I have to deal with you?"
"I haven't drunk it yet!"
"Come on, you bought some wine but didn't drink it. Are you planning to use it to water the flowers? I didn't know you had the leisure and elegance to do that."
Hal's intention to tease the child was too obvious. Li Hua and Benjamin watched for a while and soon became convinced that Hal would not take Jason to the police station for such a small matter, so they turned their heads and continued to eat their meals.
There was no concern for their companions in their eyes, only a desire for food.
Hal: "So nonchalant? Your friends were caught buying alcohol by the adults. Don't you have any opinion?"
Li Hua swallowed the food in his mouth: "This set meal is delicious."
This irrelevant attitude amused Hal. He sat down next to Li Hua and said, "Don't be so cold, young man. I heard you guys made a big deal recently. Are you interested in sharing it?"
This time it was Benjamin who pulled himself out of the sea of food. "Sorry, although I'd love to tell you about our heroic deeds, we're really hungry."
They were doing intense physical work on Mars, and the only food they ate was portable energy bars and chocolate. Those foods could replenish their energy, but they couldn't satisfy their hunger!
Teenagers are at the age when they can eat the most. Coupled with the physical and mental work and taking care of the children, they are almost hungry all day long. Li Hua and Benjamin are now extremely hungry.
Hal watched for a moment, convinced that the two children who were showing off their appetites were truly starving, so he asked the restaurant to bring three more non-alcoholic drinks. Then he looked at Jason, who was sitting across from him, and asked, "Would you like some too?"
"No thanks, I've had dinner," Jason reminded. "Don't eat too much, guys, or you'll throw up during your night patrol."
"You guys are still planning on going on patrol tonight?" Even Hal couldn't help but marvel at the energy of the teenagers. He pushed a freshly served snack toward the two children's nearly empty plates. "Eat, eat. I'll go on patrol with you tonight. It won't delay anything."
Jason looked at Li Hua and Benjamin with a complicated expression.
They poached another Green Lantern... These two people who have poached so many people must have some explanation.
"Well, young man. Since you don't want to eat, why don't you chat with me for a while?" Hal said to Jason. "I haven't seen you since you came back. After all, I can say that I watched you grow up."
The Justice League members will of course introduce their family members to their friends, especially family members like Robin who have been involved in superhero activities since childhood.
Jason had no grudge against Green Lantern Hal, but at this moment he really had no desire to talk to the man who had captured him: "Come on, you haven't seen me many times."
Hal: "I haven't seen you many times, but I've heard a lot about you. We all gave you a thumbs up for your feat of prying the Batmobile's tire."
The Justice League holds weekly meetings. While they're usually just routine meetings, they're usually done in a few minutes, with everyone chatting and sometimes sharing snacks.
Sometimes Ron would ask who stole his Oreo cookies, but he usually couldn't find the real culprit in this building full of heroes.
Superheroes are human too, and their gatherings are no different from regular people's offline gatherings with friends. Valuable items were kept safe, but snacks were gone in seconds.
The difference is that ordinary people can prevent their snacks from disappearing by putting them in the safe, but since the watchtower is full of talented people, the snacks in the safe will also disappear.
Hal suspects that one of his colleagues encouraged Batman to help pick the lock, but he has no evidence.
Green Lantern Hal was a very cheerful adult. He didn't feel awkward because of the huge age gap between him and Li Hua and the others. He even rushed to pay the bill and childishly showed it to Li Hua: "Now you don't have time to pay secretly, do you? We're both even."
Because of this approachable trait, a socially anxious person like Li Hua sometimes forgets that Hal is an adult. Although he cannot be as familiar and arm-in-arm with Hal as Benjamin, he does not feel restrained when interacting with him.
Therefore, Hal easily followed the three teenagers onto the Martian spaceship they had found, and then they were both shaken into the seat by the push back caused by Jason's accelerator.
Jason: "Doesn't Green Lantern also serve as a traffic police officer? Then why don't you sit in your seat and fasten your seatbelt?"
Hal pulled the seatbelt next to his seat and buckled it. "I didn't expect you to be so reckless when flying the spaceship. Who taught you to push the accelerator so quickly?"
Jason: "It's my dear motorcycle."
"Wait a minute." Hal discovered the blind spot. "You've never learned to fly a spaceship?"
Jason: "The fellow from another world sitting next to you once said, 'A spaceship is just an oversized space bicycle, so just drive it.' I've learned to ride a bicycle and a motorcycle, so to round it off, I've also learned to fly a spaceship."
What is this theory? Is there any theoretical basis for it?
Hal turned his gaze to Benjamin, who showed a proud expression: "Li Hua and Jason had never flown a spaceship before they boarded this one, but they didn't crash it."
Li Hua also praised the Tennyson family's ancestral driving secrets: "It's really useful. I can't even ride a bicycle. Ben told me that as long as I know where the accelerator, brakes and steering wheel are, I can drive. I bit the bullet and did it. As a result, I flew for two days without falling!"
Hal: So this isn't just Li Hua and Jason's first time traveling in space, it's even their first time flying a spaceship!
The fact that this centuries-old spacecraft was able to land smoothly in the past few days is a miracle in every sense of the word.
.......
After a busy day, Green Lantern returned to Coast City, and Li Hua, Jason, and Benjamin also returned to their home in Blüdhaven.
The day should have passed peacefully, but the fact was that Li Hua, Benjamin and Jason received a call from Bruce that night.
Bruce said that he would come the day after tomorrow to personally inspect their self-study results during this period.
All three of them were dumbfounded.
Why do we still need to take exams?!
"Because Dick won't supervise your homework seriously, but I will."
Bruce used his mouth, which was over 30 degrees Celsius, to speak words that were even colder than the ice mist sprayed by the Ice Ghost Cub.
"Due to various recent emergencies, I haven't personally checked on your homework for more than ten days, so this exam will be more difficult."
Doomsday has been dealt with, Damian has begun to adapt to this family, and Wayne Company's business in recent days has been handled by himself. Bruce thinks it is time to catch the kids' studies.
Bruce couldn't be blamed for being nervous. After all, these three kids were going to be playing some very difficult dungeons. Learning more now would increase their chances of winning and surviving later.
So Bruce left a message amid the howling of ghosts on the other end, "Study hard, you won't be needed for night patrols in Blüdhaven these two days," and then hung up the phone.
Not long after I put down the phone, there was a knock on the study door three times. Judging from the height of the knocks...
Bruce rubbed his brows and sighed silently for who knows how many times in the past few days: "Please come in."
"Father."
The person who came was indeed his recently born son Damian. The child walked in with his head held high, holding a stack of papers.
"I have something to tell you."
"What?"
Even though Bruce was trying not to spoil the fun by gently gesturing for Damian to continue, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
If other seven-year-olds were to run to their dad's room at night with some written papers in their arms, it might be because they wanted their dad to read them a bedtime story, or because they dared to ask their parents to sign their failed test papers, or because the teacher told them to bring something the next day but they just remembered it...
But Damian clearly didn't fall into any of the above categories, because the first thing he said was, "After careful consideration, I have decided to serve as a mentor for the Ice Ghost cubs."
"...I understand, but I have a question."
Bruce said.
"Does Benjamin know about this?"
