Chapter 170 Chapter 170 [VIP]
The next morning, after Megan finished the breakfast made by Bob, she took the shuttle bus to the city library. When she got there, she didn't see Jason, so she just wandered around the lobby on the first floor.
The city library is very large. There is a popular literature area on the first floor, and there are many shops around it - selling books, peripherals, and food. There are tables and chairs nearby for eating and drinking, but food is not allowed in the reading area. Although drinks are allowed, there are signs in the library that if drinks contaminate books, compensation will be required.
Megan bought two glasses of hot orange juice and sat in the lounge waiting for someone. A moment later, a boy with black hair and blue eyes approached her. They smiled and greeted each other. Megan suddenly noticed a Band-Aid on his face, with a dark purple mark on the uncovered edge. So, after Jason sat down next to her, she leaned over and whispered, "What's wrong with your face?"
Jason took the hot orange juice from her and was not surprised by the hot drink. Megan was different from many people. She didn't like cold drinks very much. She only drank iced drinks during the hottest days of summer. On normal days, she would drink flavored water at room temperature. In slightly colder weather, she would definitely drink hot drinks.
He didn't care about his injury, but when his good friend asked him about it, he would still answer seriously and truthfully, whispering in her ear, "I ran into a group of motorcycle gangs who were making a deal last night, and then I was accidentally injured by an idiot in the process." He was still a little depressed. Although there were many motorcycle gangs, he was also paying attention to the situation. He didn't expect that one of them would get lucky and hit him in the face, causing his face to be injured.
Even if there was wound healing gel, it was obviously impossible to eliminate all the marks in one night, especially since Bruce didn't allow him to use the gel in order to teach him a lesson and made him come to see Megan with that scar.
Then he put a Band-Aid on himself before coming, just to cover up his mistake.
Seeing that he was a little angry, Megan poked his cheek with a finger and said, "Oh, then you have to be careful, it will hurt if you get hurt."
Jason laughed out loud and rubbed his head towards Megan, but they separated after a slight movement. It was spring break for the students, so there were quite a few people in the library. Although no one might be paying attention to them, Jason still didn't get too close to her. He said, "I remember, but I still have to tell you, I twisted that guy's arm and dislocated it, and I kicked him."
Although the young man was slightly injured, he was proud and high-spirited. "And Bruce, he insisted that I come to see you with this." His tone was slightly angry and dissatisfied. He pointed at the wound, his expression remained the same, but it seemed to carry some meaning and be expecting something.
Megan looked him in the eye, into his bright blue eyes, and said, "You're the best, Jason."
Jason was very satisfied. With his good friend's company, he gradually learned to express his care and encouragement, which made him feel very accomplished. "Then let's do our homework?"
"Um!"
The two children went upstairs. There was an area in the library for students or professionals to do homework and work. It was divided into small open compartments where they could talk quietly. If the decibel level exceeded a certain level, they would be reminded by the staff. There were also small closed reading rooms, but the management was relatively strict. Two or more people had to register before entering, and they would also be randomly checked for any illegal behavior.
Of course, they didn't need an enclosed reading room, so they found a small cubicle by the window. Jason handed Megan the backpack he was holding, and they took out their homework together. Since they were in different grades, their homework was of course different.
The homework assignments at school were not difficult for Jason. If he wanted to, he could have skipped a grade long ago. However, he enjoyed campus life very much, not to mention that he now had good friends. They could walk together after school, read books or go shopping, which was much more fun than being alone. He did not think that taking care of his friends was a hassle. On the contrary, he was happy with his efforts and gains.
Whenever Megan encountered a problem she didn't understand, Jason would explain it to her, carefully pointing out the solution ideas, and would give her similar questions again. After that, Megan would no longer make mistakes and would solve the same type of questions quite smoothly.
"Smart little bear!" Jason laughed.
Megan also raised her chin, looking very proud, and then when they looked at each other, both children laughed.
Although the grades were different and the homework was different, Gotham Middle School didn't usually assign much homework to its students. They had already finished all the homework they brought with them, and it was almost noon. After packing the homework into their backpacks, Megan didn't get up. Instead, she asked Jason next to her, "How do we treat the wound?"
Jason knew that she must have something wrong if she sat down and didn't leave, but he didn't expect Megan to ask this question. He saw the pure ignorance in her eyes, so he held her hand on the table and said, "You have been injured, you know how to treat the wound."
He was talking about the time when Megan was still very naughty. She always liked to climb up and down, often bumping and scraping herself. Although the bumps did not cause her to break bones and the scrapes were very shallow, those injuries still needed to be treated.
Bumps and collisions can cause local swelling. Use cold compresses within 24 hours, then switch to hot compresses. You also need to apply lotions and take medicine.
If there is no obvious bleeding from the abrasion, just apply iodine tincture externally. If there is slight bleeding, the wound needs to be cleaned and disinfected, and then apply medicine. Generally, bandaging is not required, but antibiotics should be taken to avoid infection.
Megan had never been seriously injured. Sometimes when Jason took her out to play, when they came back after handling a crime, he would find that Megan had injured herself. Then he would treat her wounds skillfully, but Jason suddenly remembered the time she said she fell from a shelf. Maybe she wanted to learn how to treat wounds in order to avoid being seriously injured again and not knowing how to deal with it?
He explained the general methods of wound treatment, and Megan said "Oh". They prepared to go to lunch. When they walked out, Jason was carrying his own backpack and reached out to take Megan's backpack.
At noon, they planned to have a fast food meal without a doubt. However, since there were many people in the fast food restaurant, they planned to pack up and eat somewhere else. Just as they got the paper bag of fast food from the clerk, they suddenly heard a noise outside the store.
Jason glanced outside the store and saw that a robbery had occurred in a store not far away. As the crowd screamed, there were also gunshots. He wanted to take action immediately, but he was still with Megan. So he took his schoolbag and paper bag, pulled Megan out of the side door of the fast food restaurant, and soon arrived at a nearby alley. Usually no one came here, and -
Here's a camera made by Bat.
Jason took out the flyers from the paper bag and spread them directly on a pile of miscellaneous items, letting Megan sit on them. He put the two school bags in a relatively clean place beside them and handed the paper bag to Megan. "You know what I'm going to do, right? Xiaomei, you stay here. Eat if you're hungry. I'll be back soon."
He looked at Megan with a firm gaze, not wanting her to go into danger. Megan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." So Jason left quickly.
Bruce had not gone out of Wayne Manor today. He noticed the message from Jason and saw the location he sent back. He took the elevator directly from the study to the Batcave. It happened that the command given to the Batcomputer had been processed. Real-time surveillance footage around Jason's current location appeared on the big screen, and his eyes stopped at one place.
He hadn't seen the child since that accidental encounter in the safe house. He only heard about her from Jason and Alfred, but Alfred still told him some things - when Jason first saw Megan, he thought she needed help, so they became good friends.
Jason liked his friend, so Alfred also chose to show his kindness. When he didn't know who Jason's friend was, he asked him to send desserts and snacks. Later, when he found out, he stopped Bruce when he wanted to check Megan's current situation through the surveillance.
The elegant old gentleman said, "Be patient, sir. Fate has bound us together, and it won't let you see each other more than a few times. Besides, do I need to tell you how presumptuous it is to spy on a young lady through a surveillance camera?"
Bruce was helpless. He respected Jason's friendships and his friends, so he didn't see Megan again until today from the surveillance. She was sitting in an empty alley with two school bags beside her and a paper bag for takeout from a fast food restaurant in her arms.
She was no longer the poor child she was at the beginning. Her hair was black and fluffy, tied into two fluffy braids hanging down at her sides. There was a lively expression on her fair face. She was waiting for someone.
Jason placed her here while he went to fight crime. Megan sat here waiting for him, but she didn't sit still. She occasionally looked up and looked around, or her eyes fell on the empty space. It was unknown what she saw, but her eyes were fixed on it. Of course, it was more likely that she was in a daze.
She sat on a pile of debris, stretched her legs out, watching her toes swing back and forth. When she heard the faint sound of sirens approaching, Jason, wearing a Robin uniform, fell from the sky and ran towards her.
Megan smiled almost the moment she saw him.
Bruce watched their interaction and suddenly realized why Jason chose to place Megan in the alley with a camera. Because he knew that the hidden camera was produced by the Batcave, then the Batcomputer would definitely be able to pay attention to this place. If anything happened to Megan, he would receive the news quickly.
That's why Jason sent him a message before setting out to fight crime.
So Jason is not as arrogant and unruly as he thinks. He has always been aware of the people he wants to protect and his responsibilities. He was just a little bit reckless. However, it was precisely because he hated evil that he embarked on this path.
Alfred had walked up behind him at some point and heard Bruce whisper, "Jason is undoubtedly a qualified Robin."
However, the old butler said, "I'm sorry, sir, this is most appropriate for you to say in front of Master Jason."
"But I know you always think he has shortcomings. You're aware of his immense potential and his untamed nature, but you never believe you can always keep him on this 'right path.' You believe this child will eventually slip out of your control, and perhaps bring you deep pain."
When Bruce opened his mouth to refute, Alfred continued, "Of course I know that it's not your desire for control that's at work. You treat him as your own son. You have higher expectations of him than yourself. You believe he can do more than you can. Because of this, you want to protect him."
"Master, you never tell Master Jason these things, these true thoughts. This is the biggest disagreement between you two."
"Could you please mend this rift before it causes more misunderstandings and regrets?"
After Alfred finished speaking, no one spoke in the Batcave. He raised his eyes and looked at the picture on the screen with Bruce.
Jason handled the sudden robbery. GCPD officers had arrived at the scene, took the suspect away, looked for witnesses, and checked if anyone was injured. By the way, a police officer asked the store owner if he had purchased insurance, so that he could file a claim with the insurance company if so.
He rushed back to Megan wearing his Robin uniform. It was obvious that he was not injured in the previous battle. He showed his fists and feet to his good friend and boasted about his heroic performance in defeating the enemy. In fact, he was just teasing Megan.
The two children laughed for a moment, then Megan held out her hand, and Jason high-fived her gently. Then Bird flew out of the alley, catching his grappling rifle, and returned moments later in his regular uniform. He picked up two schoolbags and slung them over one shoulder. He took the paper bag and led Megan out of the alley, asking, "Aren't you hungry? Why aren't you eating?"
Megan said, “Let’s eat together.”
