Jason vanished from sight the moment the villains blinked.By the time they realized he'd moved, his palm was already pressed against Cheetah's face—just shy of cutting it open.
A black-red tendril snapped from the ground, yanking her away in the last instant.
Black Adam capitalized immediately, speeding forward with a thunderous punch aimed at Jason's head.Jason caught the punch with one hand. Effortlessly.
He tilted his head toward Diana.
"You take care of this guy."A single blow to Black Adam's gut turned the demigod into a projectile, slamming him straight toward Wonder Woman.
Jason turned back toward the others.
"Don't worry," he said, pointing lazily at Atomic Skull. "I'll deal with you in a second."
His eyes shifted to Klarion.
"But you… I want to know who sent you here."
Atomic Skull didn't wait for permission. He lunged, radioactive fist swinging.Jason sidestepped it casually.
"Dangerous to touch, huh? Doesn't matter."He snapped his fingers.
Mahoraga materialized behind him, its blade-limb swinging in a brutal arc. The punch that followed sent Atomic Skull flying, his torso caving inward. Mahoraga's hand melted slightly from the radiation—but it healed just as quickly.
"Ohhh, so you brought friends," Klarion said with a grin. "Then I will too! Teekl—go!"
The small cat leapt from his arms, instantly warping into a monstrous, fanged beast. Klarion conjured a barrage of magic circles, hurling spell after spell toward Jason.
Not a single one reached him. They were sliced apart mid-air as if the spells walked willingly into a cutting machine.
Jason ignored the projectiles, his focus shifting between Teekl and the slashing attacks of Cheetah. He moved first against her, several dismantles slicing toward her body—
But Klarion's magic intercepted just in time, deflecting the cuts away.
The giant Teekl lunged, trying to swallow Jason whole.Jason sidestepped, planted a kick into the beast's ribs, and sent it crashing through two buildings.
"I don't like hurting animals," he muttered. "But you don't count."
"YOU BASTARD!" Klarion roared as chaos-tendrils erupted from the ground, wrapping Jason from every direction—before being shredded cleanly in seconds.
Klarion leapt back, dodging another invisible barrage, helping Cheetah avoid one as well.
"Those curses of yours!" Klarion hissed.
Jason raised an eyebrow. "You can see them?"
"Of course I can!" Klarion snapped. "Chaos magic, cursed magic—whatever flavor you use, boy, I SEE it."
Jason smirked and prepared the sign for his domain.
"Can you se—"
Klarion vanished.He blinked out of the 200-meter perimeter before the domain could even materialize.
Jason's eyes narrowed.
'This little shit… he sensed the domain forming? Even Fate can't detect cursed energy this clearly'
"So you're really that good with magic, huh?" Jason said aloud.
Klarion grinned. "What can I say? Always the best, always the great—"
He froze.
Mahoraga walked back toward Jason dragging Atomic Skull's legs—the only pieces left—his torso hollowed out.And Diana descended beside Jason, her sword dripping blood, Black Adam's head dangling from her hand.
Jason spread his arms mockingly.
"Did you seriously think this group of idiots would survive us? Me and Diana? Or did you think we'd play by the League's rules?No holding back. No mercy. I told you—"
His eyes hardened.
"—I'm the guillotine. And you're the inmates with a death sentence."
Klarion's confidence shattered.He snatched Teekl, reverting her to a cat, while stammering:
"Cheetah—let's—"
He stopped.Cheetah lay on the ground, legs severed, bleeding out.
"You escaped my range," Jason said. "She didn't."
Klarion trembled with rage. "You… the Gods of Chaos will not forget this! UGH!"
A portal ripped open behind him, and he fled instantly.
Silence fell.
Jason looked at Diana. "Good work. I expected you'd take longer handling him."
Diana's divine aura faded, her eyes returning to normal as she slid her bracelets back into place. "He was strong… but as you said—we're not holding back anymore."
"Good girl," Jason said with a low chuckle.
He walked toward the crawling, sobbing Cheetah. She tried to drag herself away, but Jason grabbed her by the hair and lifted her head.
"So," he said calmly. "You want to sing like a bird… or screech like a crow?Your choice."
Cheetah shook, eyes darting around in terror before she finally gave in.
"…What do you want to know?"
Jason's grip on Cheetah's hair loosened, his voice cold but steady.
"Who sent you here and orchestrated all this bullshit? And why?"
Cheetah swallowed hard, beaten and cornered, her animal bravado gone.
"It—It was Vandal Savage and Queen Bee," she said, eyes darting between Jason and Diana. "They told us to stall you. Fight you. Keep you here for as long as possible."
"Why?" Jason pressed.
"I'm not sure… Savage only said Joker needed time to complete something in Gotham. That we had to keep you away."
Diana stepped forward, her voice sharp as steel.
"Why Joker? What is he planning? And why would Savage help him?"
Cheetah shook her head desperately.
"I don't know! I swear! Savage said Joker would… kill many of the League. Or something like that. I don't know the details. Please—I told you everything!"
Jason looked at her for a long moment. Something about her trembling posture told him she wasn't lying.
"I believe you," he said quietly.
Diana noticed it a split second before it happened—Jason's hand leaving her shoulder, the way his posture shifted as he turned away.
Cheetah managed a shaky breath of relief.
And then her severed head hit the ground with a wet thud.
Her body collapsed beside it a fraction later.
Jason didn't even turn around.
"Let's go," he said to Diana.
....
The battlefield looked like the aftermath of a nuclear blast. Buildings shredded, streets cratered, fire and smoke rising into a trembling sky. And at the center of it all, drenched in blood, laughing like a deranged god…
Joker.
He lifted Hal Jordan's head by the hair, swinging the corpse like a macabre trophy.
"OOOH, HAL! I always knew you were hard-headed, but THIS—THIS is ART!" he cackled.
Then, with a grotesque casualness, Joker jabbed his fingers into the empty skull cavity, tugging out what remained of Jordan's intestines and threading them through the eye sockets like string.
"A necklace!" he said with mock delight. "I'll call it… Lantern Chic! Doesn't it just SCREAM 'I died horribly'?"
He wrapped the ghastly chain around his neck and posed theatrically.
The sight froze every hero still conscious.
Some trembled.
Some vomited.
Some just stared in mute horror.
Superman slowly rose from a demolished taxi, dust and debris sliding off him. His breath shook with fury.
"JOKER!" he roared, voice cracking the pavement. "I WILL KILL YOU!"
Joker's head snapped toward him instantly, that painted grin stretching wider than humanly possible.
"OOOH! HE'S MAD!" Joker clapped like a delighted child. "THE BOY SCOUT'S REALLY MAD! Come on then! Come on! Show me that righteous baby-rage!"
Superman shot forward in a crimson blur.
Joker opened his arms like he was welcoming an old friend.
"COME COME!" he shrieked. "LET'S PLAY SOME MOOOORE!"
