Ballistic and Velocity

After the surgeries, the sisters were unconscious for a couple of days. Cassandra had the longer surgery that put more stress on her body while Carin's body was put under extreme stress due to all of the grafting done to her.

'So not only is my humanity limit insanely high, but I also recover from my surgeries faster,' Jason thought to himself while watching the pair recover

During their recovery period, both Talia and Rose stopped by to check on the prisoners but were surprised that Jason had decided to get himself two subordinates.

"Of course, he went and got some people from that room. My student, you are a hoarder."

"Stop kidding, Talia. These two have potential and you know it."

Talia smiled faintly. She also agreed that their powers made their potential incredible. The issue was their mentality but if Jason was able to fix that, then he would gain himself some powerful allies.

"That's just Jason, Teacher," Rose knew that Jason was looking for people to be loyal to him for his future plans so she fully supported Cassandra and Carin. She met them both while she was still under her father so she understood them better than even Jason. They were the type of people that would repay anything they were given with 10x as much.

When both of the girls woke up, they were surprised to see Rose was there instead of Jason but figured it made sense. She was training under the same teacher so Jason may have asked her to watch them while he was doing something.

And he had. Jason was assigned a mission by Talia where he needed to assassinate some Japanese official who was using something to poison something.

Jason didn't really read the dossier on the mission. He just read who he had to kill and where the target would be. Besides those two things, Jason didn't really care about him. He was simply a hit that Jason was being paid to take care of.

The main issue with the mission was that Jason was currently at his weakest. He had to uninstall his previous chipware and replace them with the new ones from Deadshot and Catman. But since he had just installed them and they had yet to fully download into his body, Jason was stuck at +1.

Talia recommended that he should wait for the official to leave a meeting and take the chance then but Jason had other plans.

Jason bought himself a Militech MAN-PACK Artillery Rocket and waited on a rooftop that was 1865 meters away from where his target would get off his car with a clear line of sight. Jason waited in his position for 2 days before his target showed up.

Jason's rocket was already in place and aimed at the spot so all he had to do was press a button.

The rocket burst from the muzzle and soared through the air. It was able to reach the location in only a few seconds and destroyed its target as well as the few men guarding him. But Jason didn't stay to watch. He jumped off the roof and broke through the window of one of the buildings near it before rushing to the ground.

While Jason was running through the street, he got a message.

[Laser sensors have been triggered. Someone got blown to bits, hehe :)]

Jason had set up a trap to not only destroy the evidence of his weapon being the one that killed the official but also killed off the initial pursuers and threw them off their game. Because of his planning, Jason was able to make it onto the private plane that he had booked.

But he didn't expect one thing to happen. And he wouldn't figure it out until he got back home.

"Greetings, Boss!" the two girls greeted Jason when he got back to the compound. They had been resting for 5 days now and the medicine that Jason had left for them healed their bodies almost completely. The pair were able to move around better than before.

Jason nodded at them while looking over their bodies. He appreciated the skinweave he had put on Carin's body. He was thinking about doing it for himself but he did not want to worry about having to replace it later. He also planned to be more of a mid-range to a long-range fighter that didn't worry about getting shot as often.

"Good that you are both up. From now on, Carin and Cassandra Taylor are only to be used by the two of you in private with one another. Outside of that, you will be Velocity and Ballistic respectively."

"Yes, Sir!"

"You both can rest up for a few days. Talia already has a mission lined up for all of us. I expect it to go flawlessly."

The young women nodded once again. Jason was going to give an inspiring speech but he was interrupted by Damian who was looking at a tablet.

"Impressive, Todd."

"Thanks. But you haven't even seen them in action."

"Oh. I'm not talking about them. I meant your mission. I think you are the only assassin that can do their job so well that some clown gets to take credit for it."

Jason used his Sandevistan to rush toward Damian and snatch the tablet from him. A video was playing on the screen and they were all speaking Japanese.

It was a video of a man claiming that he had killed the official. Or at least he sounded like a man. The person had a very androgynous body and a skull for a head. Not a skull mask but a literal skull for a head.

"I am Lord Deathman! I have killed Toshiba Nokia and will soon slay every hero of Japan!"

The worst part was not that this clown was taking credit for Jason's kill. It was that his voice was so annoying that Jason wanted to shoot him through the tablet. And he did.

Jason pulled out his Kyubi and shot the tablet 5 times.

"That was mine, Todd!"

"Stuff it, Wayne!"
