11 Wilson and Wayne

While Talia was making plans of her own above, Jason was struggling with Damian and Rose. Jason couldn't beat either of them alone, yet alone together. The only reason Jason was able to hold them off for so long was due to his cybernetic arm holding out for so long. But even that could only last for so long.

After 10 minutes of fighting, Jason was left battered and bruised with several cut wounds since Damian decided that throwing knives made the match fair. Little demon.

'At least fighting these guys gives me a better understanding of my abilities. Damian is probably around +4 while Rose should be +4 as well but seems like a stronger one. Talia is around a +6 then since she can easily handle both of them and myself at once.'

Jason bought himself a MAXDOC MK.1 to speed up the healing process. After taking a puff of the inhaler, Jason could feel his wounds heating up and itching.

Rose and Damian looked at the inhaler in Jason's hand while feeling very jealous. Neither of them was allowed to use such a miraculous medicine during their training. They simply had to endure the pain and train while they were healing.

"Todd," Damian called out

"Wayne."

"I told you not to call me that. I am an Al Ghul. I am the grandson of the Demon and shall be the next leader of the League of Assassins. Do not place me in the same category as some man that likes to dress up as a bat."

"Whatever, Wayne. What do you want?"

Damian wanted to pull out another throwing knife he had hidden on his body and stab Jason in one of his eyes but he held back on the urge.

"Todd. How much for a cybernetic upgrade? I am willing to pay triple the amount," Damian offered, feeling like he was lacking compared to the two before him.

Rose had basically consumed a super-soldier serum that increased her physical abilities far beyond what a normal teenage girl should have. Jason was also much stronger than most other teens physically and he had a cybernetic arm as well as other upgrades.

Damian could already see that there would be a gap in power between them in the future. Rose was already stronger than him and Jason would surpass him sooner or later so Damian wanted to get an upgrade to catch up with him.

"Sorry, Wayne. You can't get an upgrade until you're at least 15 or 16. Or at least it would be a waste to get them earlier. Your body is still growing which means that you would outgrow the cyberware that's fitted to your body or it would stunt your growth and you'd be a halfling forever."

"Then what about me?" Rose asked. She wasn't interested in most cyberware but she wanted to get her eye replaced. She destroyed it about 2 years prior to save her brother's life from her father. If she had a chance to get it back, she wanted to take it.

"Sure. 4500 eddies for the Neuralware Processor and the eye as well as installation. Can get that thing installed and working within a couple of hours," Jason said with a straight face as he ripped off his friend. Even if they had gotten closer over the past few months, Jason still needed to make money off of selling cyberware.

Rose also knew that Jason was overcharging her but she didn't care. Rules of supply and demand.

"You got any swords? Preferably western ones but I can use a katana."

Jason browsed through the weapons he had but frowned when he saw the lack of western type swords.

'Whoever created Cyberpunk was kinda a weeb.'

"The Kendachi series has some pretty good katanas. Each of them is very sharp and much more durable than a normal sword. They also have a variant with micro-serrated blades that vibrates at a high speed to cut up whatever stands in front of it. Another 3k and they're yours."

"Piss off, Jason. I know that even if I bought two of the variants, it wouldn't cost over 2k. You can get 2500 for them and that's it."

"Deal. 7000 total for everything and they're yours."

While Rose and Jason were discussing the price, Damian was looking on from the side and feeling annoyed. He had never met anyone that would ignore him as the pair did.

'What is this emotion I am feeling? It feels close to seething rage but it is something different.'

Damian walked off to contemplate the emotion he was feeling around the time that Jason and Rose had finally decided on a final price and when they would do it. The latter needed a couple of days to gather her funds before they could actually buy anything.

When Rose left to go talk with her father about getting the money for her cybernetics, Jason went to find Bane to find what the man was up to.

Ever since they had come here, the paid had only seen each other 4 times. Both of them were extremely busy with Bane being trained as a possible successor of Ra's and Jason being trained by Talia.

And just like many of the other times, when Jason arrived at Bane's residence, the guards turned him away on orders of Ra's.

'Oh well. Guess I will just go back to training.'
