Chapter 151 Chapter 151 [VIP]
On the way to the secret base, Jason whispered to Megan, "You don't know how many safe houses B has set up in Gotham." He directly revealed Batman's secrets with undisguised admiration in his tone, then raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing an even brighter and slightly complacent smile.
"Now I have it too. I'll take you to see it." He turned his head to look at Megan, and locked eyes with her. Not knowing what kind of response he wanted from his good friend, he blinked deliberately.
Megan thought for a moment, "Wow—what's in that safe house? Is there a bear cub?"
Megan is a child! One who doesn't get involved in crime or join the vigilante cause. She might have heard the term "safe house" from some weirdo, but she doesn't necessarily know what it means. It sounds like a very safe and functional building?
She looked curious, her golden hair swaying around her face, her eyes as clear as a shallow pool. Jason tilted his head and said to her, "Well, a safe house is a specially reinforced room. It can't be damaged by external forces like small explosions. It's bulletproof and fireproof, and it has special sealing and ventilation designs. It also hides things like weapons and equipment, but I arranged it differently."
He held Megan's hand, shaking it in response to Megan's strength. He always looked cheerful and high-spirited, but he had enough patience to accompany his friend in some childish and uncool actions. Now his tone was raised, implying affirmation, "I invite you to play, of course there will be a teddy bear~"
Jason's safe house was located in a relatively secluded place, some distance away, so he couldn't help but ask about Megan's clothes on the way, "Did you meet the Mad Hatter again?" The mentally ill criminals in Arkham Asylum escaped. Jason certainly knew the importance of this matter, but he also cared about his friends.
Angry Bear: "The Mad Hatter asked me to dress up as Alice and have a tea party with him, but he said something nasty."
Megan was furious, and Jason raised his other hand to poke her cheek. "And you won't play with him anymore?" He didn't mention the dangers of the Mad Hatter at this time. The Mad Hatter killed a woman named Alice whom he once loved, kidnapped and brainwashed blonde girls several times, and used mind controllers to manipulate innocent people into becoming victims of his struggles...
Jason heard Megan complaining, but looking at her profile, it seemed that she didn't show any corresponding emotions at all. Megan noticed his gaze, looked back quietly, and suddenly smiled with her eyes. She nodded and said, "Well, I won't play with him."
She is still ignorant, but reluctant to express her emotions.
From the first time Jason saw her, he felt confused and helpless from her, and there was a slight sense of fear overflowing from her body, as if anyone could easily hurt her, and she couldn't find any way to fight back, or even how to ask for help, and could only passively accept everything from the outside world.
Even though she followed Killer Croc, lived in peace with the monster and was taken care of, Megan was still ignorant. She was too soft, as if even gentle treatment would cause her to collapse and get hurt. She was a very pitiful and helpless child.
But when Robin broke into her house and asked if they wanted to be friends, he saw the desolate world in her eyes and her helplessness. But when he said they were friends, she showed a strangeness and a little imperceptible expectation towards him, and new buds sprouted in the desolation.
Jason stayed with Megan and saw her condition getting better and better. She also learned to joke and express her emotions more, but...
She was a stingy child, and so till now she has never learned to hurt others;
She needs to gain a certain amount of energy before she can start, but she still needs to be very cautious when getting along with others in order to give her attention, care and emotional emotions. She rarely has negative emotions, and her expressions of anger and unhappiness are just "bad", "hit him" and "hate", as well as not playing with others.
Jason looked at Megan, smiled softly, and leaned close to her. "Then I have a way to teach him a lesson!"
But he followed Megan's example and didn't say it directly, but insisted on being asked. So Megan turned her head to look at him for a while, and suddenly bumped into him, but Jason quickly stretched out his hand to block it. He burst out laughing, rubbed her limited edition blonde hair that she dyed today, raised his eyebrows proudly and said like a promise: "Wait for me to make a call--" Xiaomei is always impatient, but who says they are good friends?
He had no intention of avoiding her. After all, Megan had already known his identity as Robin. He took out his cell phone and called Bruce but the call didn't go through. He hung up the busy tone and called the butler Alfred instead.
When the call was connected, Jason didn't say much and directly called the old butler's code name: "Penny One! Please tell B that the Mad Hatter has escaped from Arkham Asylum." He pressed the receiver of the phone and signaled to Megan.
Megan tilted her head and thought seriously, "Is it near Crawley Street?" She took a look as she walked to the street and vaguely remembered the name of the block outside.
Jason relayed the message directly to Alfred, but the old butler replied calmly and gently, "Batman has received the news and is on his way. He also has Oracle to help..."
This meant Jason didn't have to go, and he understood that. After being annoyed for less than half a minute, he forced a smile and said in a fake cheerful tone, "Okay, so I have half a day off?"
He vaguely heard Batman's voice coming from the player in the Batcave, 'Yes, you don't have to go, Robin, you need to rest and relax yourself, in fact, you...'
Batman was about to preach his truth again, but Jason hung up the phone. Maybe he was disappointed, but when he winked at Megan, there was clearly no bad emotion on his face.
"Okay! Now we can play together and we don't have to worry about the Mad Hatter~" Who was worried about the Mad Hatter? The two children were only worried that he wouldn't be imprisoned back in Arkham, but with Batman himself taking action, they thought there would be no problem.
Jason acted like that on purpose, holding Megan's hand again. Since it would be noon soon, they bought some fast food on the way, including hamburgers, hot drinks, chicken wings and small pizzas. They were both in the growing period, and Jason had a big appetite. He ate a lot at every meal in Wayne Manor, but he was supervised to maintain a healthy and balanced diet, so he especially liked the fast food outside. Megan was also not averse to eating fried food.
Megan had a hydrogen balloon tied to her wrist along the way, like a small tail swaying with her steps.
Arriving at Jason's safe house, he opened the door and waited for Megan to walk in with the balloon. Then he closed the door and said to the ornaments on the shoe cabinet, "Hello, Daphne." He also said to the sofa, "I'm back, Annie!"
Megan looked at him curiously, and Jason said, "Well, it's one of my little hobbies." His eyes were particularly bright and kind, which might seem strange to some people, but he thought Megan would never think so.
Megan turned her head to look at the ornaments on the shoe cabinet, then at the sofa, "Daphne, Annie."
Does that sound interesting? But Megan thought about it and decided not to learn this because she still didn't want to name her belongings, like her plastic fish and the flower-shaped teacup she'd recently used to hold the fish. She didn't want to name them either. She was a very stingy person with her emotions and wouldn't give them away easily.
She turned back to the door and originally wanted to tie the balloon to the coat rack, but when she turned around, she saw that there were bumps on the ornament, so she tied the balloon there.
Then they happily ate 'junk food' together. Jason said the housekeeper didn't let him eat it. Megan nodded and said her father didn't allow it either. But she didn't say that her father had bought her bad cakes before... Her father was a bad role model, so Megan listened to him selectively, only listening to the good things and filtering out the bad things.
They smiled at each other after they finished talking. Megan looked very well-behaved with her squinted eyes. She was the cutest child in the world.
When Megan reached out to take the pizza, Jason suddenly saw a little bruise under her wrist. He put down what he was holding, wiped off the oil, and carefully pulled Megan's hand over. He would not be tactful or roundabout. If he used the rhetoric of the upper class in front of Megan, she would not understand the beating around the bush and would not respond.
He asked with concern, "Are you hurt?" His main suspicion was that someone had abused her, but he knew that this was unlikely because Megan had extraordinary friends who would take care of her.
Megan let him hold one hand, still holding a small piece of pizza in the other hand. "No, Dad said I couldn't protect myself, and then he played with me with a cotton doll."
If her father had not been playing with her, she might not have been able to run away and could only be beaten there, but in fact her father would let her run, catch up with her in the last few steps, knock her down, and pull her hair for fun.
She wanted to say that she was injured. Jason realized that she was about to move, so he took the pizza from her and helped her wipe her hands clean. But Megan tried to roll up her sleeves and found that there was no scar on her arms or palms, so she didn't want to say it anymore.
In short, Jason saw her strange and ambiguous actions, but since Megan had no intention of saying anything, he didn't ask.
After lunch, Jason picked up the garbage, put it in a bag and tied it casually at the door, waiting for them to take it when they left. They all went to the kitchen to wash their hands - yes, for some reason, Jason decorated a kitchen in the already small safe house, and it was fully equipped with tableware and kitchen utensils.
This safe house is decorated very cozily, with almost nothing strange or out of the ordinary, and no weapons hidden. However, since the owner is a short child, some of the layout and design do not conform to the general decoration.
They returned to the living room and sat cross-legged on the plush carpet. Jason held out a grasping hand and said to Megan with a smile, "Guess what I have in my hand?"
Megan couldn't guess, but she knew she would get a gift.
Jason didn't care that Megan didn't respond. He raised his hand and then released it, dangling a key in front of Megan. He said, "This is the key to the safe house. You can come here to play or rest at any time, but don't touch any dangerous things."
He knew that Megan would sometimes be curious, so he pointed out the places where dangerous weapons were hidden and the mechanisms, and opened them for Megan to see, including grappling guns, anesthetic needles, smoke bombs, electric batons, blades, etc., as well as a device built into the safe house that could alarm the bat cave.
"They are all dangerous and could hurt you." Jason was not worried about what Megan would do to the safe house, he was only worried about this one thing.
Megan rushed over to him and rubbed against him, "I know it's dangerous, don't be dangerous."
Jason was a little surprised when he realized that Megan really understood the danger, but he smiled and said, "That's good, you are a good little bear."
