Chương 31: Stopping a Bank robbery...Sigh

"Just like that" Jasper said ruffling Nathan's hair, He had taken to teaching Nathan how to fight, even though he was only 5 years old, it would do some good for him to learn, just in case.

Nathan smiled as he continued his weak air punches, watched on by Jasper and Rize, who was currently reading a book she had assigned for her class.

"Anything new with your 'job'? Maybe it's time to put the suit away and get a real job... you know, one that earns money?" Rize said hopefully as Jasper just rolled his eyes.

"I'll have you know I made over 6.3 million last week, it was a good donation for my services," Jasper said with a smile as Rize deadpanned.

"Yeah, stolen money, real heroic..." She replied and flipped the pages on her book as Jasper went into deep thought.

She was right, the justice league hadn't called him for anything for months, and the most heroic thing he'd done in the past year was stopping a child from getting bullied on the streets.

Jasper sighed as he lay down on the grass and closed his eyes, feeling the breeze tool over him as he brainstormed.

"I'm back... 5 years of my plans... I'll get you, joker... you too Batman," Red Hood said as he looked out-upon Gotham before a newspaper flew up and hit him in the face.

GHOUL MISSING?:

It's been almost a year seen we've seen the vigilante known as Ghoul, reporters theorize that he has been caught by the police and held inside the Asylum, Commissioner Gordon has neither Falsified nor Corrected these statements, Leading to the question, Is Batman Next? (Read page 12 for more info)

Jason crumbled up the paper seeing the old picture of His 'Brother' there, in the middle of stopping a robbery.

"You too... Jasper" He said and jumped off the roof in a freefall...

"What?... I just wanted some noodles..." Jasper sighed as he looked over at the bank that had alarms sounding.

Jasper looked around for a few minutes and when no one showed up he sighed again and put his groceries on the ground near the bank before walking towards the entrance, he didn't have his mask, oh well who cares if they know who he is?

Jasper didn't care, he just wore it for convenience, and also everyone else wore one so he didn't want to be left out.

"Hey, that's as far as you go!" A man at the door raised his gun towards Jasper and yelled, Jasper just kept walking as he looked at the two men, confirming one thing.

"Seems penguin wanted to restock on money... well I guess I should stop him..." Jasper said as the penguin thug yelled angrily for him to stop, before firing his gun full blast into Jasper.

"Oh yeah... so much damage," Jasper said as he looked at his ruined clothes, when joker had shot him, his demon side was constricting his Ghoul side, letting it have some damage, but now that he wasn't constricted, these normal weapons wouldn't do anything to him.

"What the-" The man tried to say before Jasper jumped forward kneeling the man in the face and using the momentum to spin kick the other man, quickly knocking both of them out.

"Hm, good they aren't dead, guess I won't be scolded..." Jasper said opening the door quietly, he'd rather do this stealthily until he knew how many he was dealing with.

Jasper jumped into the air and landed on a gargoyle before catching a sandal that had been about to fall down on top of a goon.

"Maybe I should have gone home first... well whatever too late now" Jasper whispered to himself and looked across the room to see around 15 penguin goons, all armed, not that it would help them any...

"Hey, assholes!" The penguin goons turned around to see a man standing there in a black coat and shorts with sandals.

"Kill him!" They immediately responded how they would if anyone got close to them, by shooting them, Jasper smirked as he walked forward, completely fine and hitting every one of them knocking them out in one hit.

"Now... should I go get penguin?" Jasper asks himself before dodging a first and looking behind him at another penguin goon.

He was much larger, and definitely wearing body armor, seemed he'd be a harder target.

Jasper kept the momentum when turning around and jumped kneeling the man in the jaw causing him to stumble, the man had also asked a punch to hit Jaspers midsection.

Luckily, Jasper had learned gymnastics all his life, making him have an insane amount. of agility, letting him dodge the punch and using the man's arm to twist in the air and perform a vertical windmill kick to his face, making him fly back.

"You... are strong" The large man steps up and was going to attack if not for the foot that had kicked him in the face, Jasper wasn't going his hardest, if he did he might kill him, and he didn't feel like getting scolded.

He was already going to be in trouble for showing his face, there was no reason to add more to the mix.

"Yes... I am, but you're not much of a challenge..." Jasper said as the man started standing up and grabbed a syringe with green liquid inside, then injecting himself his veins started to pop out as he looked at Jasper with an enraged expression.

"Die!" He yelled and charged Jasper, breaking the floor tiles as he stomped through them and tried to grab Jasper.

"What the hell? you're just a copy of bane... I kicked his ass back in elementary school" Jasper said doing a 360 corkscrew over the now even larger man and grabbing him from behind, choking him out quickly.

"Now... I guess I'll visit penguin... I should tell dad about this,,, having Titan serum might suggest he is working with others..." Jasper sighs as he walks out of the bank after tying the goons up and grabs his bag of groceries, then digging in, he grabs the pack of cigarettes he'd secretly bought, old habits tend to resurface...

(A/N: so... fuck CW lol it's shit every time I see it tbh... so imma do what I want, things are going to progress differently than I first said)
