Chapter 122: The More Things Change.(4/4)

igure fitting of a sword master. (Fencer) He was impeccably dressed in his british butler uniform, tails included.

Alfred answered the door and smiled at both Lash, and Vyllith. Vyllith and Alfred hit it off last time they were in town visiting. They swapped tips, and tricks of serving each others masters. Lash, and Vyllith bowed from their waist, and the etiquette was returned by Alfred. He stepped to the side with out a word and gestured them inside. He softly closed the door behind them and let out a sigh. That was never a good sign. Alfred didn't sigh, it believed it was disrespectful.

“What happened?” Lash asked softly, even with his Transformation state he tried his best to keep it level.

“Master Jason is... Come.” Alfred said, and refused to answer.

Lash could feel Selina was in the house so he reached out with his Pack Bond and established the link between them. The link snapped into place and they both gained a 30% increase to their overall abilities. But Lash could also feel the turmoil, and depression across the link. Selina desperately wanted Lash to fix the problem, but she knew he couldn't. Lash tried to ask what the problem was, but Selina refused to answer. He would find out soon enough.

Alfred led them both to the cave. Passed the grandfather clock and down the winding stair well through the pitch black. With soft ambient light from the stairwell lighting their way. Lash could hear shouting coming from the cave. It was Jason. He was angry, clearly! But it was the type of anger that he didn't want. He was angry because he was afraid.

Coming around the bend of the carved rock of the bat cave Lash saw Bruce in his uniform but his mask was down. Selina who stood off to the side with tears streaming down her face. Richard was trying to calm Jason down but was being held back by Barbara. They were both in uniform but had their masks off as well. While Kate stood off to the side in full uniform, mask on. She glanced up at Lash as he came down. Jason whipped around to stare at him and....

Blood-Kindred....New born. -Saurian said across the link they shared. Lash stopped mid step so suddenly that Vyllith nearly walked into him. She stepped off to the side just in time and looked at him, then at Jason not understanding the situation.

Jason looked....Amazing! He stood approximately at 6' 0” (182 cm). Short black hair, with blue eyes that had a shallow red ring around them. He had a good solid muscle structure on him in the shape of an inverted triangle. He moved with grace, and a almost predatory presence. He wore black boots, black pants, a black t-shirt that was tight on him. His hands were stretched out like claws, and his nails were extending ever so slightly. Lash cast Insight on him.
