Killing an Untitled and savior of a beauty

The next day, In the evening...

Jason made up a reason and went for a walk into the city. He has been cooped up in the penthouse for too long, which is not his style. He wore a red metallic mask after he went out of the house to hide his identity.

As he made his way towards the Gotham Cemetery, he saw the buildings and technology resembled 2003 of his previous world. It was a bit advanced than his previous world.

He took a bus in the nearby bus station and took a ticket. It took half hour to reach the destination. After that he walked for 5 minutes when he arrived at the cemetery. He did not enter the cemetery immediately.

He waited until it became dark and without getting any attention from the guards, he jumped onto the long walls and pulled himself up. He jumped too far away for anyone to see. He entered the Cemetery and kept strolling near the gravestones. 

When he reached the center of the graveyard he heard wailing coming from 8 gravestones at once. Slowly the number kept on increasing. 

"What's going on?" muttered Jason.

[Spirit Sorcery is able to detect the struggling souls host]

[By solving the problems of these spirits, you can free them and send them to afterlife]

"I see. But we should be selective about it, because we maybe unable to solve the problems of some spirits due to circumstances." said Jason.

[Use the "Appraisal" skill and extract only those you are able to solve]

"Very well." said Jason as he used the appraisal on the ground near the graveyard. He could see the body laying in the coffins and white colored ethereal body inside them scream.

He did Appraisal on 20 of them and selected 12 of the souls to be extracted using Spirit Sorcery.

"Spirit Sorcery" activate.

He extracted 12 souls at once and devoured their energies into his body.

Critical Quest: Kill the Untitled disguised a grave keeper and save little Pamela Isley.

Jason felt immense joy after hearing the level up notification. He gained level up of sharp shooter and spirit sorcery.

Jason's eyes widened. The situation is a lot different from previous world. The word "little" indicated that Pamela must be a child.

*scream

Jason came out of daze and immediately turned his attention towards the scream coming from the west side of the cemetery.

He did not hesitate even once because he is the Red Hood, who protected the innocent and the weak and killed those who ruin innocent lives. He ran and the speed astonished him. He felt the feeling of having a superpower.

He felt the tug coming from the All Blades. "It's time. Let us hunt together again." said Jason with a smirk and the All Blades came out.

Though the glow might have dimmed, the glow will increase after the blade pierced the evil. Within a minute, he arrived at the scene and saw half transformed grave keeper running after a child.

"No, you don't." growled Jason and took a high leap with both blades in his hand. The blades were the size of a dagger now. As he grows, the blades will grow.

While revolving in air, he brought those blades towards the Untitled. The grave keeper untitled feeling a threat from the air backed off a bit where Jason landed.

It could not see who it was as Jason covered his face. "Who are you?" came a distorted voice.

Jason saw a grotesque face with sand colored body and red eyes. Jason did not reply. Going by the build the Untitled understood that opposite part is a kid.

Pamela's foot hit a rock and fell down. When she looked back, she saw a guy wearing a red mouth guard and hoodie engaging the creature.

The Untitled came at Jason with its fangs and kept slashing as Jason avoided with ease. "Thanks to the training during these months." thought Jason.

He kept avoiding every slash and the Untitled even sent a kick which Jason avoided with a backflip in air.

The Untitled unable to land a hit turned its attention to Pamela who stood up and holding the sprained leg. It decided to use the girl for it's escape.

Jason understood it's intention and quickly ran and appeared in front of Pamela. Untitled has already appeared near the girl when the two blades in his hand pierced the throat of the Untitled killing the soul of the Untitled.

[Host has completed a "Critical Quest"]

[Host has been awarded "Power of Flight"]

Jason saw the glow of the blades has increased a bit. "Since I've only extracted the souls, that require the death of Joker, I'll finish the mission in the next 5 months." thought Jason.

"This time the enemy was pretty weak and untrained. I can't say the same for the others. I need to increase my arsenal and training." mumbled Jason.

"W..Who are you?" mumbled Pamela.

As soon as he turned, the mouth guard broke and fell down. He did not understand it at first but when he thought back a bit, he understand that while he plunged the blade, one of the fangs tore the guard.

Pamela looked at the body of her age. "You're just the same age as me." said Pamela.

Jason sighed and said "Let's get out before Police comes or worse Batman comes."

Pamela's eyes widened but she decided to trust the little boy in front of her.

Pamela tried to walk and she felt pain. "OUCH" uttered Pamela.

Jason silently came and lifted her body onto the shoulders without asking and Pamela was surprised.

He ran carrying her and jumped onto the walls and said "Hold me tight."

She held onto him with blush forming on her face. He pulled himself up and jumped outside the cemetery and ran for half kilometer and came to a restaurant nearby.

He put her on a nearby table and sat in front of her. "What were you doing in the cemetery alone?" asked Jason.

Pamela's eyes watered. "Hey stop crying. I am sorry for asking." said Jason unable to bear the tears of a little girl.

"I came to visit my mother's grave with my father, but my father left off without me." Pamela meekly said.

Jason clenched his fists. "One more scumbag like Willis Todd" thought Jason.

Jason used his thumb and cleared the tears. He did not understand what to do. He could take her to the Police but he had least amount of belief in GCPD.

"What's your father's name?" asked Jason.

"Reynold Isley." replied with crying gasps.

Jason thought for a while and said "Come with me. I'll take you to my house."

Pamela looked at him with eyes widened and said "I don't want to trouble you."

"Nonsense. Even if I were to call the cops and you were put into foster, there is only hell in this shitty city." said Jason.

A waiter arrived and asked "Kids, what's the problem?"

"Nothing. We'll be leaving in a bit." said Jason.

"Okay, be careful. Night time is very dangerous in the city." said the waiter.

Jason came near Ivy and put his hand on the sprained leg and in low voice uttered "Episkey".

The foot healed within an instant and said "Come".

Pamela who put her foot on the ground didn't feel any pain. Jason put a finger on his mouth and said "We'll talk after we reach my house."

Pamela just nodded and he lead her to the bus stop and there was a bus. He brought two tickets and both of them sat in one of the seats. The mouth guard which was broke was in Jason's pocket as he did not want to leave evidence for Bats to trace him.

Jason looked at the red headed girl beside him. She looked completely different from the Poison Ivy he knew. He caressed the head of distressed Pamela to calm her down. "Don't worry, my mother will have some solution." Jason assured.

She gave a meek nod. He saw a pure little girl. He used appraisal and saw she is only 3 months younger than him.

He also saw something else "Flora Control Metagene: Locked", "Magic: Plant affinity, Potions, Herbology".

"Damn, she is both a metahuman and a mage." thought Jason.

"I'll have to inform mom about this. Her magical riot might happen this year any time." thought Jason.

Both of them kept quiet until the bus reached the destination. Jason holding Pamela's hand took her to the huge building and took elevator to Penthouse.

He knocked on the door and Catherine opened the door with glare as Jason was late. Jason understood that there will be verbal pummeling.

"WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?" shouted Catherine.

She looked at the girl he's holding hands with.

"YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD REASON FOR A GIRL BESIDE YOU OR THERE WILL BE A SPANKING SESSION ALLOTTED FOR YOU." said Catherine menancingly.

"Mom, let's first go inside. Anybody might hear us." said Jason.

She let him and Pamela inside.

All three of them took seats and Jason immediately summoned the All Blades.

Catherine was surprised as she did not expect the blades from Jason's memories to appear.

"These are the All Blades. They are capable of sensing evil and eliminating it, they've arrived into this world along with my soul." said Jason.

"I did see them in your memories." said Catherine.

"Now listen to me carefully mom and you too, Pamela. The Untitled are a threat in my previous world. Many lives were lost over centuries and to counter them were the All Caste. They are Warrior Monks who dealt with all kinds of evil Supernatural threats. Today I made my way to Gotham cemetery because I felt the power of Spirit Sorcery inside me." said Jason.

Catherine's eyes widened and her mouth opened unable to believe that her son had a rare form of magic.

"I've tested my powers when I heard a scream. I ran towards it and saw Pamela being chased by an untitled. I've fought and killed it using All Blades." said Jason.

Catherine shouted "ARE YOU MAD? YOU COULD'VE BEEN KILLED."

"Mom, even in my previous life I've never turned away from helping the innocent and the weak. After your death, no one extended a helping hand and I had to steal food in the streets. When I was put into foster care I knew Ma Gunn was making the kids steal from museum and other places. I helped those kids by tipping Batman and entire Ma gunn's operations came down. 

When I have the power to save the innocents and decide not to save them, then the regret I feel and the weight I bear on my conscience is pretty high. I was not a hero or a villain. I was someone who wanted the things to change and paid a price. Still, I will not ignore an atrocity committed in front of me by some bastard and keep getting away. I will punish him that instant." said Jason with conviction.

Pamela felt her thoughts running fast unable to believe that reincarnation is real and there are many earths.

Catherine who was menancing a minute ago cooled down after hearing Jason's words. "So, what about the little villainess you brought home?" asked Catherine narrowing her eyes at Pamela.

"Her father left her in the Cemetery and left without looking back. I didn't have belief in GCPD or foster system, so I decided to bring her here so you might have some idea. As for her stint as a rogue in previous world, that won't happen because I stopped that the instant I saved her from the Untitled." said Jason.

Catherine fell into thought. Pamela kept fidgeting. Jason knew Pamela was nervous. He stood up and sat beside her and held her hand.

"Mom, one more thing. I can sense a metagene related to Flora and Magic related to Plants inside her." said Jason.

Catherine came out of her thoughts. Even Pamela was surprised. "H..H.How did you know?" asked Catherine.

Jason put his palm forward and said "Lumos" and bright light came out. Catherine was spellbound on seeing Lumos cast with a hand.

Jason extinguished the light and said "I've been trying wandless magic and developed some kind of magic sensing capability during these 3 months."

Catherine came over and took the other hand of Pamela and sent a little raw magic. She felt a reaction.

"Yes, she is a witch." said Catherine as she learned this technique during her time as Hit Wizard.

Pamela didn't know what to do after coming to know that she is a witch and panic began to come out.

"Don't worry. I have the powers of a wizard and my mother is also a witch." Jason assured Pamela.

Pamela gave a meek nod. Catherine declared "She will be living with us."

Jason gave a smile and nodded. "I'll file for her adoption tomorrow. We need to keep an eye because her magical riot might happen anytime this year." said Catherine.

"What is a magical riot?" asked Pamela innocently.

"We'll tell you tomorrow, Pamela. We should get some rest today. There is a spare room for guest there. You'll be living there." said Jason pointing.

Pamela stood up and made her way into guest room silently.

Catherine looked at Jason's expression and saw affection in it. 

"Do you like her?" asked Catherine.

"Maybe. She is not the Poison Ivy of my world. Her purity as a child hasn't vanished. I'd like to protect it." said Jason with determination.

Catherine was amused at her little boy who has a mature attitude. "You're not wrong. I'll arrange tutors for both her magical and non magical studies after her magical riot." said Catherine.

Jason nodded and yawned. He bade farewell and left for his room to sleep.
