The Dawn Trail in the World of American Comics

o share the results with me. ”

”Haha, deal. ”

The Flash laughed.

This young man, who is known as the ”Harmonious Duo ” with Green Lantern, waved his hand casually to Mason and then, with a swoosh, he disappeared along with the biological missile at the side of the crime alley.

He also took away the small gangsters and criminals who were knocked out and tied up by Green Arrow and sent them back to where they belonged.

”The power of super speed… ”

Mason watched The Flash disappear and said with some longing:

”If I could replicate this ability, even if it ’s just running at supersonic speed…
sigh, dreams really have everything. ”

He shook his head and turned back to the small shop, telling Harley, who was dozing off behind the counter, to take a rest, and then he lowered the rolling shutter to make more potions before going to work.

The city has just experienced a chaotic night, and Leslie ’s clinic will definitely be busy today.

Mason doesn ’t want to miss this great opportunity to practice emergency medical skills.

”Cough cough ”

In the forest outside Gotham, Talia, who had escaped from death, was dragged out of the water by a pair of strong arms while coughing.

She had been hiding in the water for nearly three hours to avoid the bat drones hovering nearby, but for an assassin master who had been stabbed three times by her rival, it was still unbearable torture.

She had started to have a high fever and was weak all over, unable to exert any strength.

Fortunately, she had a companion by her side.

Red Hood, also known as Jason Todd, was in a much better condition than Talia.

He didn ’t suffer serious injuries when escaping from Arkham, although he was severely beaten by the master.

He took Talia into a cave, made a fire, and took out the medicine he carried to treat her.

Because of the wetness, the whole process could be described as ”intimate ”, but Jason Todd remained expressionless throughout, even when administering first aid to Talia, he remained very restrained.

He seemed to have no interest in this charming and alluring woman in front of him.

When dawn arrived, Talia finally regained consciousness.

The aftereffects of the high fever still made her weak, but as the master of the League of Assassins and the daughter of the Demon ’s Head, her physical fitness far surpassed ordinary people and even touched the threshold of ”superhuman. ”

As long as it ’s not a fatal injury, she will recover after a few days of rest.

Talia, wrapped in a tattered cloak, sat up and saw Jason Todd sitting by the campfire.

This young man no longer had the madness and anger he had when he confronted the master before.
He sat by the bonfire in a daze, staring straight at the flickering flames in front of him.

It seemed that he no longer cared about everything around him.

”Do you want to leave here with me? ”

Talia coughed a few times and asked.

Jason didn ’t answer.
The master assassin spoke again:

”Returning to South Dard is the best choice for your current situation, Jason.
Although my father is dead, he is immortal.
Just wait patiently and he will be reborn in the Lazarus Pit to continue leading us.

Jason, this failure is just… ”

”Our cooperation is over. ”

Jason said coldly:

”We agreed on this before! I didn ’t save you because I wanted to convey goodwill to the Assassin ’s League, but because between us…
forget it, that ’s not a good thing.

Rest here, I ’m leaving soon, don ’t come looking for me again!

Your people will bear the consequences if they dare to approach me! ”

Talia frowned at this answer.

She said coldly:

”We brought you back to life, Jason.
You will never be able to repay this favor! You have the mark of the assassins on you, and you will always be one of us. ”

”Just like Batman? ”

Jason sneered and said:

”He also has your mark on him! But he shattered all your arrogant illusions just a few hours ago.

Talia, you are just a group of losers.
Perhaps you were once glorious, but after the rise of Batman, you have never won even a single victory against him!

I warned you before, those outsiders are not good partners.

They are only using you to achieve their goals.
Even a young man like me can see the truth.
Your father, who has lived for nearly nine centuries, is kept in the dark.

The fact proves that the foresight Batman taught me is much more useful than what you taught me. ”

”Ah, Jason… ”

Talia sighed and said:

”You think you have seen the whole truth, but in fact, you still don ’t understand anything.

Forget it, if you want to leave, then leave.
You will continue to entangle with that man in Gotham.
I see loneliness and abandonment in your eyes.

The more you hate him, the more you desire him.

You are such a greedy and pitiful child.

But I have something to ask of you, not as the master of the Assassin ’s League, but as Talia.
Before I return to this city, I hope you can secretly take care of my son for me.

Damian has returned to his father ’s embrace.

This was also something I had been planning.
Fate has brought us to this point, and I will not try to change it. ”

”Batman will change him! ”

Jason stood up and said:

”Just like he changed me.
Your son will eventually choose to leave you, Talia.
Because you, who are cold-blooded, are not a qualified mother. ”

”A fledgling bird must learn to fly alone.
If he has the ability to break free from me, it only means that my son has grown up and is even more outstanding than I imagined.

I will only leave sadness to myself and bless my son to achieve great things in this world. ”

The master assassin smiled, remained silent for a few seconds, and said to Jason:

”Do you want to hug me? Jason, this may be the last time we are alone together. ”

”That ’s enough! ”

Jason gritted his teeth and took a few steps back.

Looking at the woman with long hair in front of him, he said firmly:

”Forget about those things! That was something that shouldn ’t have happened under the confusion and chaos of my rebirth! You are Damian ’s mother, Bruce ’s lover…

I shouldn ’t have done that! ”

”Hehe. ”

Talia laughed meaningfully a few times and said:

”You see Batman as your father, so in terms of my relationship with him, I am also your…
Jason, you are really a young man who says one thing and means another.
I still remember that night when you called for your mother in my arms, helpless like a stubborn little bird that never grows up.

Well, don ’t look at me with so much anger.

I won ’t tease you anymore.

Tell me, what are you going to do next?

I see endless anger in your eyes.
It seems that you have transferred your hatred to another person.
Forgive me for speaking frankly, but making such a choice right after experiencing a failure doesn ’t seem wise. ”

”Mason Cooper! ”

The Crimson Knight didn ’t hide it and said:

”He ruined my confrontation with Bruce.
He took away the power to execute the Joker from me.
He destroyed my carefully planned revenge!

Grayson, Tim, Barbara…

They are all members of the Bat family, but Mason is not! ”He had no reason to get involved in this matter, but he still came crashing in and disrupted it.
This account must be settled, and this is my new plan. ”

After saying that, Jason Todd left several weapons in the cave and turned to face the dawn, disappearing into the woods.

Meanwhile, Talia rested for a few minutes and, after confirming that Jason had left, picked up the communication device he had left behind.
Like a cunning fox, the master assassin dialed a number on it and patiently waited.

After a dozen seconds, the call connected.

”Hello? ”

Mason ’s voice echoed through the communicator, and Talia, stroking her long hair, said:

”Mason Cooper, I want to make a deal with you! ”
