"Hey, master!"

Lancer walked out of light from spiritron transit. Opening the eyes, Jason stopped meditating and greeted him with a nod.

"Lancer. It seems your mission went well. Your good mood has flowed into me."

"Well, it's always satisfying to hunt some deserving scumbags. And I found something interesting."

The blue lancer fished out several metal pieces from the subspace Jason made for his servants. He arranged the pieces and they made a medallion.

"This talisman was on our one of targets. I'm sure it's a work of witchcraft, it smells Morríghan all over it."

"So the warden has suspected something afoot here while unaware of the extent of this… circumstances."frowning, Jason nodded.

"That's about right." Lancer blew out of his strand hair from the face. "Morríghan is not a right patron for this shitshow."

"Indeed. In addition to that, he intended to lure her out."

"Her?"

"Morgan le fey, she is an avatāra of the goddess. Her own person and self, but a small part of greater being. Why do you think she was born with the ownership of British Isle?"

"…...Damn. And I thought it was my imagination to feel iffy around her."

Cú Chulainn had bitter experience with Morríghan.

First time they met, he tried to catch a suspected cattle rustler by stomping on their shoulder and pointing the spear against their neck. As it turned out it was not a cattle rustler but the goddess in disguise, she swore revenge in spite of his protest that he didn't know it was her because of the disguise.

Second time they met, he tried to fight off Lóch mac Mofemis and his band of warriors. A beautiful woman proclaimed her love for him, but Cú Chulainn turned it down. As it turned out she was, in fact, Morríghan, she declared she would hamper his fight.

She did so as an eel, as a wolf, and as a cow, receiving injuries for her trouble.
And as a hag, she milked a cow three times and gave him the milk three times.
Three times he drank, three times he thanked her for milk.
For they are considered as a bless for each, she recovered from the injuries one by one.

She revealed herself and left, leaving him to grumble about the unintended mercy he gave out.

And the last time they met, she, in disguise of a hag, tried to warn him about the plot to make him break the Geis. He went to the battlefield even as he knew he would die. When he died, a raven that was Morríghan settled on his shoulder bidding farewell.

Jason chuckled.

"Yes, I wondered when you would figure it out." He became serious again. "Thus, I will exclude her and Mordron from Gotham's happening this time. We have no spare time for his shit or Merlin's."

"Ah, yes, Merlin…..." Lacer's face turn grim. A rogue Grand Caster was no joking matter after all.

"The clown takede action, Contractor." said Assassin, standing next to Jason as if he was there in the first place. There was no time for Lancer to be surprised by his abrupt appearance, however.

"Master, Shadow Assassins are on the move!" Ruler shouted out running to him.

Jason sprang on his feet.

"Where?"

"It's Port Adams. It seems one of the Fake masters is their target."

Standing in front of Tetra Anax, Jason wordlessly ordered Laplace to bring the map of Gotham up. Dozens of red dots moved in the speed a normal car couldn't achieve to the Port of which a green dot stayed on the 3D map.

"So, the bait works. Who is this fake master?"

"It's mister Nygma according to Geis signal."

"Hm, yes. If there is anyone other than the Bat who can lure the enemy without endanger himself, it's him. Alright, an agreement is an agreement. Rider, protect the fake master of Grey Berserker."

"On it. Just in case, I take Saber with me."

"As you wish."

Jason then beckon to the Assassin with the hand to come to next to him. Tri-Hermes scanned Assassin and showed the movement of the clown, the Joker, and his gang with purple dots. Assassin reported what they were going to do where and how, and what he had done to some of rogue elements Jason permitted him to remove. With Revelation, Jason could pick out more of danger he couldn't foresee.

He still didn't forget the mess of St. Dumas. Fucking witches and heretic!

The Suite of Sorrow was the product of the ritual that constantly need to sacrifice the blood and life of the faithful(whichever faith one had).
The Sword of Sin consumed the soul of its user and the Sword of Salvation the soul of its victims.
And they dared to call their agent, the monstrosity and miserable victim, Azrael.

And they had succeeded to hide it from Corrigan with their witchery and sorcery. If not for the true Azrael who had spotted it, Spectre would have been deceived again and let their sin and immorality be.

Spectre Force had almost gone ballistic and come very close to smite the entire section in which had the church. Good thing that Assassin beheaded all accomplices and mercy-killed the current Azrael, sending his crippled and damaged soul to Presence, and burned down that infernal den of soul robbers.

Jason obsessively searched any malice hidden by any kind of Mystic since then. It paid off because the Joker was not only one who was messing with something that must not be messed. It was evident since there were Servants running around Gotham.

"Thank you, Assassin. But I have more mission for you, for you are only one who can take action without the Bat's notice. Stop gangs that try to harm wrong persons. Even they do not deserve to be consumed by Red Rider."

Assassin nodded and disappeared again.

Jason sighed and sat down again in meditation stance.

"Ruler."

"Yes, master?"

"Neutralize the warden and seal him. He is nothing but hindrance for now. We can not afford to distract ourselves to save him. And assume the command until I return. I have a brother to give the mother of all wake-up calls."

Jeanne blinked.

"Brother?"

Jason ignored her inquiry and closed his eyes.

["Long time no see."]

[Postscript]

And long time no see, people! Sorry to come late and thanks to wait. Real life was so hectic and still is.

Billy will show up, that I can promise.
Confusing narrative is entirely my fault because English is not my first language.

The meeting among Bats will have some intensity since, you know, Jason killed amount people worth to a continent. But I don't know it will be as good as Under the Red Hood, that one is a masterpiece. Other than that, I can not reveal yet.

Shining Knight will show up eventually. When he will do, that I can't tell since I too am not sure myself.

Thank you for Favs, Fels and Revs!
