Chapter 153 Chapter 153 [VIP]
It only took Batman a few seconds from appearing at the window of Jason's safe house to leaving, but he did not ignore Megan's outfit and her obviously dyed blonde hair. Combined with the message Jason passed back to the Batcave, it was enough for him to analyze many things.
Jason saw Megan who had escaped from the Mad Hatter. Her situation was a bit special. Even if she was not physically injured, she might have suffered mental or psychological damage, causing anxiety. For this reason, Robin, who had parted ways with him at the time, did not choose to capture the Mad Hatter, but instead passed the news back to the Batcave. He stayed with Megan, not to mention that they were classmates and friends.
But why did Jason hide the news from Megan? Perhaps he didn't want her to be pressed for questioning and to recall the events of being captured and escaping by the Mad Hatter.
He had once thought Jason was reckless, impatient, overly arrogant, and had many character flaws, but in reality, this child possessed a soft yet resolute heart. He was lively, friendly, compassionate, and enjoyed reading and sports. Even after experiencing combat and injuries, he remained steadfast in his choice of the vigilante path, willingly devoting himself to protecting his family...
These advantages completely outweighed his minor flaws. He was the best, the best child.
Batman saw how the two children got along, and he had great trust in Megan, and generously shared everything he had. It might not be long before Jason would invite her to Wayne Manor as a guest, and Alfred would definitely be happy then - the old butler often heard from Jason about that lovely friend, and had been silently looking forward to it for a long time, but he believed that Jason had his own sense of propriety and ideas, so he never urged him.
Megan, a child he had seen several times, had recovered very well, better than any other autistic patient before her, but he had not thought about it in depth. Megan was a special case. He had read her medical records, understood her general experience in recent years and the efforts her father Arthur had made. Her cure was a miracle in medicine and even in psychology, so she should not be disturbed, forced, or become the subject of research by others.
The Wayne Group and the Special Children's Care Foundation hid her medical records, and the psychologists and psychological evaluators who had tested her signed confidentiality agreements to ensure that Megan's special circumstances would not be known to others, so as not to cause trouble for her and her family.
…
After Batman left, Jason and Megan continued playing together, finished reciting the poem, and then continued playing games.
In the evening, they came out of the safe house and went to the restaurant to eat charcoal-grilled steak and pasta. After the meal, the two children walked on the road hand in hand. The street lights above their heads were lit, and occasionally a car passed by on the road. They crossed paths with the pedestrians, watching the dim shadows under the lights shorten and lengthen.
Jason stared at the bricks under his feet, but his attention was completely focused. He turned to Megan and asked, "Are you going home tonight?"
The Mad Hatter had most likely been sent back to Arkham Asylum, and Megan didn't want to rest in Jason's safe house yet. If her father didn't send someone to pick her up, she would have nowhere to go unless she went back to the two-story building. After thinking about it carefully, she nodded, "Yes, I have to go back." She felt that her father must have told Bob.
Then Jason prepared to send Megan back, but he did not disguise himself as Robin and take her flying between the buildings in Gotham. Instead, he walked with her step by step. He saw Megan still holding the smiley face balloon, but this time it was tied to the end of her braid, and she was persistently pulling the end of her hair up, because Megan had a sudden idea, and she had to do it when she thought of it.
It's Balloon Bear.
The balloon pulled the little bear, and Jason held her hand. When they saw a patch of staggered checkered bricks, they didn't need to communicate. When Megan jumped out eagerly, Jason followed tacitly and jumped with her. He could jump higher and farther. Whether it was in the school physical test or the training assigned to him by Batman, he could achieve extremely high results. But when playing with friends, did he have to compete with each other?
They played childish hopscotch until they had enough fun. Jason sent Megan out of the small building. Seeing the lights in the house, he turned his head towards Megan again, "Well, goodbye, Mei--"
Megan also rubbed against him, and the two children made a mess. She curled her eyes and said, "Goodbye."
Megan took out the key and opened the door. When she walked into the house, Bob was no longer there, but she could see that the house had been cleaned and decorated, the air conditioner was on, and there was a new pot of green plants on the table. When she turned around to close the door, she waved to Jason who was still standing there. He tilted his head in a big arc, indicating that he was leaving, and then turned and left.
She closed the door and returned to the house. She was alone, and Megan was used to this kind of atmosphere. She took the balloon off her hair. Now she liked the clothes rack very much. She tied the balloon to the pillar. Looking up, she saw her father's baseball cap on the top of the clothes rack. She tried to jump up to get it, but she couldn't reach it at all. She snorted and turned her head to give up.
Before going to bed, she played and read alone. When she washed up and returned to the bedroom, she still held the mobile phone in her hand. She sat cross-legged on the bed and dialed her father's number. After a long period of "beeping", the call was automatically hung up. But Megan would not be discouraged. If the call was not answered, she would keep calling. After the third time, it was connected.
But she didn't say anything, and there was silence on the other side. After a long while, a sound came from the other side. Her father seemed to sigh deeply, but he was just pretending and asked in an exaggerated tone: "What's wrong with you, child?" She had only been out for a day, what problem could there be?
Then the Joker thought about how the Mad Hatter had been sent back to Arkham Asylum today. It was hard to explain why Megan was not involved, not to mention the information sent back by his spies outside, so he was really puzzled.
"Don't you have fun out there? You've learned the essence of how to get along with others, and your good friends..." His tone became increasingly low, and the phrase 'the essence of how to get along with others' was obviously a mockery. Megan followed her own will and learned to betray. I'm afraid the Mad Hatter doesn't know that both of his failures were due to this seemingly harmless child.
The clown laughed lowly. His laughter was so strange that one could easily imagine his distorted expression. Megan was used to hearing it and simply ignored her father's words. She said to herself, "Dad, I want to come back."
It's not even 'I want'! It's 'I want'!
Either she failed her English class, or she was showing off her domineering personality again.
The Joker couldn't stand her self-righteous attitude. Did he really give her the confidence? It was the funniest joke in the world that she was so convinced she was loved. Initially, the Joker was the mastermind behind the show, but as time went on, Megan became more and more aware of her role as the protagonist. She began to rehearse the play she wanted and achieve the desired effect, effectively taking over the reins.
"Well, what can I do to you? But you have to tell me why." He showed a compromising attitude.
Megan was happy again, "The Mad Hatter is bad and left me outside." She would even turn the tables!
The clown laughed briefly. He thought this play was quite interesting. He said slowly, "The Mad Hatter came back and told me you were kidnapped. Who would have the guts to do that?"
Megan: ●▽●Her nonsense was exposed, but she didn’t feel guilty at all. “But I missed you, Dad.”
"Well, kid, these sweet words are your powerful weapons. You have already mastered how to use them." The clown said something cryptic. "Then Nelson will pick you up tomorrow morning."
So the next morning, Megan returned to Arkham after breakfast. She had disappeared briefly for two days, causing no waves in Arkham. No one even paid attention. There were wonderful performances every day here, and everyone was more threatening and valuable than Megan. You have to know that this group of mentally ill criminals, except for a few with poor brains, the rest were more or less calculating. They thought they were smart, so they wouldn't waste their efforts.
Wasting energy on Megan? It was useless except for attracting the Joker's attention. Megan, the nominal Arkham star, her entire value was due to the Joker. Without the Joker, they would not pay attention to such a child at all, and perhaps they would never cross paths in this life.
Megan returned to the clown's cell with the slightly deflated balloon and squeezed herself in through the small crack of the door as usual. She didn't pull the balloon any further, so she turned back and pushed the door open. The clown watched her movements, and when he saw the smiling face on the balloon, the wrinkles between his eyebrows seemed to deepen a little. He asked, "Is this a gift you brought back for me?"
The child who said she missed him glanced at him, took the balloon back to the dark room without paying any attention, and then came out and ran to him, hugged his arm, and looked dependent again, but she didn't even act just now, which really opened the eyes of the clown. He reached out and pinched her jaw to look at her carefully, but Megan suddenly put the weight of her head on his hand.
"Dad, that's my gift."
Joker: "Oh, your gift." He stood up from the chair, the tail of his suit brushing against the chair surface. He let Megan still put her hand on his arm and walked out with her. "You're back just in time. I think you need a few more training sessions so I can see the results."
Megan recalled being beaten by the cotton swab doll, "No! You're trying to hit me again!"
She was holding her hand down by the clown with an angry look on her face, unable to break free. She swung her free hand at her father, but her strength was ineffective and was ignored by the clown, leaving her in the same posture as when she came back.
On the way, they met Scarecrow, who was staring at the father and daughter who seemed to be in conflict in surprise. He was not prepared to intervene when he heard Megan shouting at him, "Jonathan! Daddy is going to hit me!"
The Scarecrow took two steps back under the clown's gaze, showing an attitude of indifference, but said to Megan with a fake smile: "Your father is just joking with you. If he really wants to hit you..." He laughed softly.
"Relax, it's not the first time he hits you."
The author has something to say:
Let me show you my new brain hole next door——
《【DC】I'm waiting for my dad, what are you waiting for? 》
Copywriter:
"One day I walked through a door and found my chip dad resurrected in my head."
Jackie said, "Yeah, I walked through a door, and the first thing I saw was a guy who looked a lot like my dad."
"I had a huge argument with him and my dad, but because my dad was in my head and he was so lively and boisterous, I just had to tell him to shut up."
"But I couldn't shut up the other two people present. Who were they, you ask? Oh, one of my stepfather, the other of my stepbrother..."
After all, that Bat is very different, and Robin looks a little different too.
Chip Jack couldn't help but applaud: "That's brilliant, daughter."
■Background
Jackie from Batman: White Knight is the older twin sister of Jack Napier and Harleen Quinzel, with a brother named Bryce.
The original plot is that not long after the twins were born, the Joker was shot to death by Harley - here Jack and the Joker have different personalities, Jack loves Harley very much, and the Joker is really a lunatic.
The Joker wanted to kill the twins, but Jack was no longer able to suppress the Joker's personality. In order to protect their children, Harley had to shoot and kill the Joker.
Many years later, Gotham encountered a crisis and Chip Jack's program was activated in Batman's mind, but was eventually damaged while trying to save his daughter.
As for the so-called stepfather and stepbrother, in "Pale Rider", there is the very delicious Ugly Ha, and the Batman blessed by Chip Jack.
