Chapter 52
Sirius paced back and forth anxiously, hesitating whether he should simply run to the police station and go directly to the sheriff—but who could guarantee that the sheriff would be like that.
As the Minister of Magic, Fudge is quite dark and incompetent, but he didn't evade his responsibility.
In human form?First of all, he doesn't have a wand license, which is a bureaucratic thing that only North America needs; moreover, he hasn't fought again in ten years, and he doesn't think he can beat a gang of human trafficking by himself-these guys have gun.
If it was him and James, riding a motorcycle with the skills they had back then, it would be no problem, but...
Sirius was immersed in the memories and regrets of his flying motorcycle, and he didn't notice a black, larger and more advanced motorcycle parked in front of him.
A pair of strong arms lifted the back of his neck, ignoring his struggle, and directly lifted him up who was not light.
Sirius just looked at each other with a red hood, oh, there are two eyes on this hood.
"What did you see, dog? Or did you smell something?"
The owner of the arm is a strong Muggle man (considering that the other party can easily lift him with one hand), under the hood is a well-fitting dark gray uniform, with a blood-red bat chart on the chest, and a brown jacket Jacket.
"..." What kind of Muggle trend is this that he doesn't understand?Or are American Muggles all this weird?
Sirius thumped twice more, and who knows what dangers will happen to the clerk girl if he delays any longer.Fortunately, the masked man understood what he meant and put him down.At the same time, he stepped off the motorcycle, drew two guns from behind where Sirius could not see, and followed him to the dark alley.
"..." This action was very decisive, Sirius expressed his appreciation for this strange young man.
"Jason?" Artemis was carrying a big axe, staring at the man who suddenly changed course midway.The Outlaw team consisting of her, Red Hood, and the Superman clone Bizarro had just completed a mission in Egypt, and they were planning to return to the Outlaw headquarters at Mrs. Gunn's problem school.
Jason suddenly changed direction because of a dog in the middle of the journey—like Batman, Red Hood also loves the city of Gotham deeply.
"This smart dog seems to be taking me somewhere." Jason observed the surrounding environment. This area has always been the place with the highest frequency of kidnapping cases in Gotham in his memory.
"Are you sure?" Artemis sighed, "Even Bizarro is tired, are you sure you want to continue?"
Despite what he said, Artemis followed Jason to the Vietnamese restaurant.At this time, the black van was gone. The good news is that they don't have to deal with two groups of people at the same time. The bad news is that the group of people in the car will definitely go to kidnap and sell other girls.
Jason made a silent gesture, observing the subtle clues in front of the Vietnamese restaurant.
There are trails of dragging footprints on the floor, and there are particles of glitter in the cracks in the walls of the iron door - like the kind a stripper/dancing girl would use.
Combined with the power map of Gotham's big and small gangs in his mind, Jason already had a guess.
Unexpectedly, there would be such a harvest today, and the corners of Jason's mouth under the hood had already curled up.
"Bissaro, you wait outside with this dog." He lowered his voice, gestured to Artemis to follow him, and at the same time instructed Bizarro.
"Wo wants to help!"
Bizarro probably thought he was lowering his voice, but Jason suspected that the whole neighborhood could hear it...
"Shh!...It's useless, if this is the place I suspect...they are all little soldiers and generals."
"Look at the gate from the outside, and if someone escapes from inside, catch him... You are here to help, the biggest help!"
Just like that, Bizarro was coaxed by Jason.
Sirius was finally relieved, whether this strange Muggle with a hood was capable or not, at least he was carrying a gun; and the lady behind him, with her strong muscles and arms, made him very relieved.
But...this big, stupid guy in a blue uniform staying with me?Is it Superman?This pale and gray complexion is not like the majestic and upright image in the newspaper.
Moreover, the "S" on his chest is reversed.
So it's a parody?
Lying at the door to prevent the fish from slipping through the net, Sirius fell into deep thinking about the mental state of the American Muggle community.
Not long after entering the door, there were screams and curses one after another, as well as the sound of tables and chairs collapsing, a few sporadic gunshots, and of course the dull sound of physical beating—more than Sirius The Muggle action movies I've seen are much more exaggerated.
He felt that he had meddled enough and the girl should have been out of danger, so he planned to leave quietly to avoid being suspected by these Muggles.
But when he turned around just now, he was grabbed by the tail by the imitation show Superman!
"Hold on, you're a hot boy!" Bizarro grabbed the black dog by the neck and dragged it back to his side.
Sirius didn't know how strong Superman's hand was - he didn't have the honor to experience it; but the strength of the guy in front of him may not be weaker than Superman's!
He felt that he was about to be strangled.
To make matters worse, the fake Superman tore a small piece of cloth from the hem of his torn cape and wrapped it roughly around Sirius' face.
"Phew! It's done!" Jason strode out of the Vietnamese restaurant, followed by Artemis who was a bit bored.
"We don't need to have anything to do with Gordon..." Jason took out a locator from a hidden place in the corner of his clothes, and threw it into the restaurant, "The old guy thought I didn't know he stuck this thing on me... ...and look down on me too much."
"Let's go, Batman should appear within 2 minutes, and leave the aftermath work here to him and the police, anyway, this is what they are best at."
As soon as Jason turned around, he saw the big black dog that was about to be smothered to death by Bizarro.
"...Let it go, Bizarro, we should go too."
"No!" Bizzarotti slipped the black dog in his hand and held it up to Jason, as if asking for credit.
"Superman has Batman and Miss Rocchi, so there are male reds and female reds in the nest; Batman has bat dogs, so male reds should also have red-headed dogs!"
"This logic... I can't fault it." Artemis' voice came faintly from behind Jason.
To avoid confronting Bruce, Jason didn't argue much with Bizarro.
Rescuing the big black dog from Bizarro's pincer-like palm, Jason untied the red cloth on its face, carried it on the motorcycle, and hurried back to the headquarters with the Outlaws' teammates.
Sirius on the motorcycle was still dizzy and hadn't gathered enough strength to escape. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was taken to a huge basement. Inside were all kinds of Muggle high-tech equipment that dazzled him. The computer screen in front of him was as tall as him.
"Are we really going to raise this dog?" Artemis poked the black dog's head, "Do you want to make a hood for it?"
Bizarro had lost any interest in the "red-headed dog" he had captured. As soon as he entered the base, he took the Superman puppet that Jason had given him before, and ran away to play computer games with the controller.
"Of course not! I struggle to raise myself!" Jason rummaged through the refrigerator, only found frozen pizza, threw it into the microwave to heat it, and then turned around slowly, looking at the pet that Bizarro brought back, " I'll take care of it, leave it alone."
Also, the name "Red Dog" is so stupid.
*************
"Master Jason," Ah Fu's voice sounded unsurprisingly 1 minute after Jason arrived at the Batcave, "Since Harley went to school, every time you go back to the manor, Master Bruce always seems to be absent."
The old butler must have superpowers, otherwise how could he seem to know everything that happened in the corner of the mansion at any time forever?
At this point, Afu is scarier than the old guy.
"I know how to pick the time." Jason replied perfunctorily.
Turning around, Jason sighed when he saw Ah Fu's calm and inquisitive eyes, "Our relationship has long been irreversible, Ah Fu, you must know better than everyone else."
"Halley was just a reason I had to come back, someone had to keep an eye on the old guy to prevent him from sending another kid down my path - and my end."
"What ending, Master Jason? If you mean a hero who becomes independent and self-reliant, I certainly have no objection to Harley becoming someone like you."
Jason felt that his irritability was about to break out again, "I'm not a hero! We are outlaws..."
"I've always thought 'Outlaw' is a cool code name, like 'Black Canary', of course Dana is not a bird," Afu's voice was still calm, "so I never cared about the meaning of this word .”
Jason shook his head, remembering what he had to do when he came to the mansion.
"Bizarro snatched a dog for me. I don't have time or place to raise it. If you can even train the clown's watchdog to be a bat dog, the dog must be fine."
At this time, Damian's impatient voice sounded at the door of the Batcave.
"Pennyworth, where's my exploding batarang?"
Sirius didn't care about the bat darts at all, or any strange decorations in the Batcave, he just combined the words "Harry", "Alf" and "Pennyworth"...
This... is too coincidental!
He immediately lay down and made a gesture of submission, hoping that this old British gentleman could stay with him!
"Master Jason, you can rest assured that you can give this dog to me, and you can come back and take it away at any time. Does it have a name?"
Jason shook his head, "Halley can get up when she comes back from school; besides, I haven't had time to check whether the dog is sick; and, you probably need to take it for neutering."
Sirius felt his ass hurt, literally.
The author has something to say:
*Gotham population figures for the previous chapter are from Rebirth Batman Annual 1
*About the question of why Sirius didn’t know that Harley had gone to school, the setting here is this: He escaped as soon as he saw the newspaper saying that Harley was missing, and then crossed the North Sea and went to Privet Drive. There was no communication with the wizarding world; through Dumbledore's reply to Mrs. Figg's letter, he set off immediately after knowing that Harley was in the United States. He didn't go back to the British wizarding world to collect information, and came to Gotham dully.So even though word got back to England some time after Halle's appearance at Ilvermorny, by that time Sirius was already on his way.
*Dog Dad should be 31 years old at this time.
*It seems that this chapter is not very fat _(:з」∠)_The coding speed is not fast enough, and I fell into sadness...
