Batman threw his batarangs, which Deathstroke dodged with ease. "Your toys are wasted on me! I'm not some common thug like you are accustomed to battling!" Deathstroke scoffed as he hit Batman in the stomach with the end of his metal staff. Blocking a blow to the side of his head, Batman grabbed the staff and the two began to struggle for control of it.

Batman brought up his knee into Deathstroke's stomach and then his chin, staggering the assassin and allowing him to wallop the side of Slade's head with it before breaking it into two pieces with his knee.

"Any true warrior would have attempted a killing blow by now! You've had plenty of opportunities to kill me, why have you not taken them?!" Deathstroke demanded.

When Batman only responded with a scowl, Slade withdrew his broadsword. "We shall see how far you will go...to avoid killing. I'll force you to realize how wasted you are on vigilantism!"

Slade charged Batman to strike at him with his blade, but Batman leaped overhead and kicked Slade's mask off from behind him.

He was revealed to be a white haired man with a goatee and eyepatch over his right eye.

The mercenary was angered and slashed at Batman's head, slicing the cowl open on the side of his face and causing blood to stain it. "Be grateful that wasn't your ear!"

Batman smashed his fist into Slade's vulnurable face, breaking his nose. "Be grateful that wasn't your last good eye!" Batman shouted back.

Sebastian from his spot at the side of Ciel in watching the fight gave a small golf applause for Batman. "That's another round for the caped crusader."

"Hmph. You'd beat someone like Slade Wilson with one hand tied behind your back." Ciel commented.

"Ah yes. There is one other matter. I re looked at the list again and the most likely to go the extra mile would be the one they call Bane. No idea what his real name is, but he leads his own goons in the city. There also seems to be a rumor that they're talking about reopening an asylum." Sebastian said in his update.

"Of course they would talk of such things. It's relatively all the same. Throw the extra crazy into the asylum." Ciel sighed. "Fetch me some Tea."

"At once Master." With that, Sebastian left the room to prepare said refreshment. Watching Batman run about the city was almost refreshing. Eventually, Sebastian will have to find a way to placate the Bat's fears that he's being spied on by an enemy, which is not the case.

After a quick exchange of blows, Batman knocked Slade out and restrained him to a nearby dumpster. "You can come out now, Sionis." Batman called over his shoulder.

His answer was the slamming of van doors and the screech of tires from down the alleyway. Rushing toward the sound just in time to see it driving off he tossed a tracking device onto the bumper. The Batmobile screeched up behind him and he leaped inside, blasting off after the van.

Two armored vehicles pulled in front of the Batmobile, protecting the kidnapper's van. Men in clown masks fired heavy weapons at the caped crusader's car. Batman fired an explosive at the rear tire of the armored truck on the right. Needless to say, it crashed along the side of the road.

The chase had caught the attention of the GCPD, who were tracking by helicopter and snipers. A large freight liner with a trailer attached joined the chase by plowing through a corner store. "Wahahahaha! Now THIS is a party! Rack 'em up, boys! Can't have the Gotham's finest ruining this!"

Two men fired cables into the GCPD and news choppers, both of them got caught in the cables and exploded into the sides of buildings.

Ciel and Sebastian watched this chaos via their monitors...until the feed was interrupted by Joker's ghastly face taking up each of the screens. "We're sorry, but it seems your party's been...disconnected! Please hang up and try again! Have a blessed day, now!" Joker cut the feed.

"Tch!" Ciel nearly cracked his teacup. "How the hell did he hack into here?! Am I working with 20th century security?!"

"It would seem even the Joker is aware of us. Shall I teach him the meaning of respect?" Sebastian asked.

"This is an order Sebastian. Make his men understand his folly of insulting me." Ciel stated. "Make sure it's done legally and it can't trace back to me."

"Yes my lord." Sebastian stated and left the room.

------

Several of Joker's goons chuckled. "Did ya see the boss?"

"Yeah, he and the bat went at it good tonight. Hey, what's that?" Asked another goon. Before both of them knew it, they were beaten down.

"So sorry gentlemen, but I'm just giving your boss a warning. Hacking into my master's affairs is not a habit any of Gotham's rogues should do. Back in the day he was the one you had to watch out for in London." Sebastian put a finger to his lips. "Ah, but I'm getting ahead of myself. You two are going to be my pen and paper for this warning. I have my orders, and after all, I am simply one hell of a Butler."

"Like hell! Joker's gonna run the Bat off'a the road!" One of the masked clown goons shouted at Sebastian. Outside on the Gotham streets, Joker opened the door of the truck which had green and purple spray paint on it reading: "LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE" The Batmobile was ahead of the freight liner as Joker produced a large RPG launcher.

"KABOOM!" He cackled as the missile fired but blew up one of the armored vehicles filled with his own henchmen. "Oops! Wasn't me, heh!" He went back inside the trailer and pulled the door shut as the Batmobile did a U-turn and faced the freight liner. Throwing the shaken driver out of the seat and onto the road, Joker took the wheel.

"S'cuse me! I wanna drive!" He laughed as he floored it.

Batman revved the engine and shot out a spike trap into the left front tire, causing the entire freight liner, trailer and all, to flip on it's side. Joker crawled out of the broken window frantically, with an automatic rifle in his hands...and strode toward the Batmobile.

"Come on....do it! I want you to do it!" He shot several bullets into a passing car, the feed to Ciel had returned at this moment.

The Batmobile drove closer.

"Come on come on, COME ON!" He shot another driver to death. The batmobile was floored by Bats, who was screaming in rage behind the wheel.

"COME ON! HIT ME!" As soon as the Batmobile made contact with Joker's body, an electric shock sent him flying back down the street...a precaution built into the vehicle to prevent running over civilians. Batman leaped out of the Batmobile and began punching Joker's face in and smashing it into the side of the flipped truck.

"Hahahahaha! That's the spirit!! Oofgh!" Batman knocked Joker out finally and stood there among the destruction. Without turning around he spoke to Sebastian: "I know you're there. If possible...I would like to talk to you and your master....in private."

"Privacy implies a meeting place of mutual grounds." Sebastian stated. "I'm merely ensuring a private affair in which I deal out the consequences. I'd hate to go toe to toe with you on the subject manner, as you've seen what damage I can do to a perfectly good custom automobile, which looks to be from a certain company."

Sebastian turned to leave. "There is only one condition. I doubt you'll do it but, if this word with us must be private, the mask comes off in our Manor. Oh don't worry. I am good at certain secrets. Of course, you may think I'm lying but that is where I say I'm different from you. I never lie." With that it seemed that Sebastian faded into shadow. His voice still remained.

"I'll expect your arrival around Luncheon. I hope you will be there promptly." Was all that was heard as a Raven flew past Batman. Sebastian was in a busy schedule. And decided he must in order to get back into the swing of things, apply for a consulting license. The young Master could do it if he shifted his age to a more suitable look, but Sebastian would in the end do it himself.

After all, he is a Phantomhive Butler, so what kind would he be if he didn't do that much for his Master?

The next day at Phantomhive mansion, around lunchtime the back doorbell rang. Ciel and Sebastian went to the door to greet their new guest. It was understandable how he'd use the back door, how odd would it look to passerby to see the Batman standing on their front stoop.

When the door was opened, sure enough, the notorious vigilante was standing there in full costume. "Can I uh...come in? Mask'll come off inside, you have my word."

He was let in and the door closed behind him, Batman saw Ciel Phantomhive...though he appeared to have been aged to a young adult. Batman frowned, "Are you certain you two aren't metahumans?" he asked as he reached to the front of the cowl and pulled upward to reveal his true face.

The face of...Bruce Wayne.

"Again with the metahuman term. You really shouldn't classify Sebastian or even I that Mr. Wayne." Ciel said, before clearing his throat. "God I hate being in a young adult form, but if Sebastian tells me I must for the nature of this upcoming alliance between us, I might as well. Come in."

Ciel walked using his cane as Sebastian walked alongside him like a shadow. "I am most definitely of this planet. My name is Ciel, Earl of Phantomhive, owner and CEO of of Funtom. However, I inherited the company at the age of 13, in.. what was it? 1892." Ciel looked at Bruce Wayne again.

"Which is the second reason why I decided to have this meeting with you. I read the news article. I sensed a somewhat kindred spirit in terms of how the world's black underbelly decided to rear its ugly head and ruined both our lives. But then I met Sebastian and formed a contract. I gain revenge, and he devours my soul."

"For you see Mister Wayne, I am simply, one hell of a Butler." As Sebastian said this, his eyes turned pink and his pupils turned to slits.

"But due to a slight reformation of the contract, it seems so long ago now, Sebastian is now one hell of a Demon's Butler. So you see now Bruce, we are not meta humans. We are a part of this world, in the infernal sense. But as it is the 21st century, my old position as Queen's guard dog doesn't apply to Gotham. So I had Sebastian get myself a consultant license." Ciel finished explaining as he sat in a dining room that had an array of dishes.

"Do you take tea or Coffee with lunch Mr. Wayne?" Sebastian asked.

Bruce found it a lot to take in at once, but he had learned to believe what most people would consider impossible or irrational. "Had a feeling there was something more supernatural about you two...after I saw Sebastian's abilities for myself. I'm glad I can trust you both...and I appreciate the 'kindred spirit' idea. I apologize if I was a bit guarded before. And tea is fine." Bruce said as he sat down at the table.

"I've only been at this for half a year, and I was beginning to question whether Batman is truly doing the city any good....but then I think to all the corruption in the GCPD, Commissioner Loeb and for the most part the corrupt cops have been weeded out. The crime families of Maroni and Falcone are slipping more each day. I wonder if this Joker fellow is just a sign of things to come, a new breed to replace the organized crime families."

"But then I hear the talk of how scared the underworld is, and how hopeful the normal citizens are...and it makes it all worth it. People were scared...they were hiding and turning a blind eye....that's not the case anymore."

When Sebastian brought Bruce's tea he nodded in thanks before turning to Ciel, "I attempted to find out who the Joker is when I arrived home last night. I've had zero luck in finding a true ID other than what he used to go by: the Red Hood. It was a while back, Ace Chemicals was being robbed by the Red Hood Gang. I cornered their leader on the catwalk...the railing on his side gave out and he fell into a vat of unknown chemicals. I thought he was dead..."

"Genetic mutations are a rare backfire Mr. Wayne. It seems our clown friend must've barely survived such a thing." Ciel stated. "Never doubt human tenacity."

"Indeed. Our searches on the Joker's past came up silent. He may wish to talk about it but then again maybe not." Sebastian said. "However, since it seems everyone is in agreement to this Alliance, I have papers for you to sign Master."

"Of course. Being a Private Consultant is as close to my old position back in my old days. The fringe benefits are the same though, same contacts, as some of them are present in Gotham." Ciel stated as he signed the papers. "I'm sure you'll end up meeting them should we cooperate."

"They are a rather, interesting bunch." Sebastian explained. "Congratulations sir, you are now a consulting private detective for the GCPD."

"That takes care of that part. Now then Bruce, shall we work over what occurred last Night?" The question hung in the air.

"I hope you don't mind but I brought along my own butler and closest friend..he was wanting to meet you both but I insisted he wait outside...I hope it's alright? He's aware of everything." Bruce said as Sebastian escorted Alfred Pennyworth to the table. "I did instruct him to bring along any of our findings...he hacked into the GCPD database to find any criminal record and to monitor Joker while he was being booked." Bruce explained.

Alfred had a folder with case files and photographs, "Lieutenant Jim Gordon was made Commissioner today, it seems you'll have a close ally with the head of the GCPD now...which should prove useful...since you've been in close contact with him throughout this ordeal."

"He wished me to inform you that he's calling off the hunt for the Batman, and said that was Loeb's idea in the first place." Alfred said to them, it occurred to the England natives that Alfred sounded British as they did.

Opening the case file on the table, Alfred read the notes: "From the information gathered from the GCPD....he's got no prior criminal record, no fingerprints...he apparently burned them off, no name or other alias. What we DO know is that last night he broke into Roman Sionis' apartment, killed his girlfriend and proceeded to ambush him and impersonate him to seal the hit on you."

"Where are the remaining assassins?" Bruce asked.

"In hiding, it would seem. However there is something you should know...District Attorney Harvey Dent never made it home last night. It's possible he's being held hostage somewhere." Alfred stated. "Then we need to find out what he's after...." Bruce said.

"With respect Master Bruce...perhaps it's not as simple as you may think. The organized crime in Gotham is one thing....this is an entirely different beast."

"It's no different than anyone before..." Bruce sipped his tea.

"That's just it, Master Wayne....it is."

Bruce's skepticism was evident, until Alfred spoke again:

"A long time ago I was in Burma working for the local government....they were trying to buy the loyalty of the local tribes by bribing them with precious stones, but their caravans were being raided by a bandit. So we went looking for them....but in six entire months we never met a single person who traded with him."

"A few weeks later I came across a child playing with a ruby the size of my fist....the bandit had been throwing them away."

Bruce looked confused, "Then why'd he steal them?"

"Because he thought it was fun of course. Some men aren't looking for anything logical....like money...and they cannot be bought, bullied or reasoned and negotiated with. Some men seem to just want to watch the world burn."

"As my contact would say, men like that don't stop unless they stop on their own, or someone makes them stop. It would seem this Joker has singled you out as the latter Mr. Wayne." Ciel stated, as he sipped his tea. "Which means that tonight shall be a showdown. Or in the case for you Bruce, a battle of wits against a psycho, we shall have to see. The commissioner has invited me to the interrogation and will no doubt want to do something. I believe I know just what to do. Sebastian, you and Bruce discuss the arrangements."

"Yes my Lord."

-----

"Thank you for the invite to this. Everything is ready?" Ciel asked as he walked with Gordon to the interrogation room.

"It is. We both talk to him, and then exit and then we watch." Gordon said as Ciel nodded.

"You catch on quick." The Earl said as he opened the door to let him in first as he then walked in himself.

"Good evening John Doe. I would call you Joker but after the stunt you pulled on me earlier last night," Ciel started as he waited for Gordon to sit. "I feel that the pleasantries went out the window like Bardroy's method of cooking."

Naturally of course, he is speaking fondly of his Darling servants. He and Sebastian had decided, through secret means, to make immortal copies of those three as he had need of their talents once more. "But I'm not here for that. I'm here on a different matter. Commissioner, you have the floor."

Gordon cleared his throat, "Harvey Dent never made it home last night....neither did his wife: Gilda. What did you do?" Joker looked affronted, "Me? I was right here!" He held up his handcuffed wrists. "How do ya think I would've gotten to him?"
"Some of your goons haven't been caught yet..." Gordon said.

"Yeah....such a shame....and our tax dollars go to pay you jerks, too." Joker said, looking at the two-way mirror in the wall. "What's the time?" He asked casually. "What difference does it make?" Gordon was losing patience, it was evident from his voice.

"Well...depending upon the time..he could be here...or there....or pieces of him scattered across town. Ya like scavenger hunts?"
Gordon stood up and removed Joker's handcuffs as he led Ciel out, "If we're gonna play games...I'm gonna need some coffee." He and Ciel exited the room and shut the door behind them as they walked around to the window.

Suddenly the lights in the room came on and Batman was behind Joker...and slamming his forehead into the table. "Oww!" Joker cried out dramatically, "Never start with the head! Your victim gets all fuzzy, he can't feel the next-" Batman smashed one of Joker's fingers with his fist...eliciting no response from the villain. "See?"

"Where's Dent?" Batman demanded. "Y'know the crime families of Gotham want you gone so they can get back to the good ol' days...but I know the truth, you've CHANGED things...forever. There's no going back...not after this." Joker said.

"Then why do you want to kill me?"

"Ahahahahahaha!! I don't wanna kill you! What the hell would I do without you?! No...YOU. COMPLETE. ME."

"You didn't say anything about the wife being missing, or at least I didn't catch that bit of news." Ciel said as he sipped from a mug offered by one of Gordon's men. He almost gagged the coffee in before sighing. "What do you men put in your coffee? Do you just drink straight from the kettle? Not a way to enjoy it that's for certain."

Ciel simply rubbed the ring in his right ring finger as he adjusted his tie and pressed a hidden device several times as Sebastian looked a screen from the limousine he came in with. The Butler sighed. "He wishes for me to get the District Attorney's wife undamaged? Goodness gracious, I suppose since I must be doing this, I may as well go on foot. No need for the master to get any cinders on his suit."

With that, Sebastian simply locked the limo and activated the anti theft mode on it and then started what one would call, a midnight walk through town. One of which could become an enthusiastic walk.

After all, Sebastian was simply one hell of a Butler.

Gordon nodded, "She was abducted separately...after Harvey went missing. What worries me though is something I've kept away from most everyone...due to a respect for Dent's privacy." Jim looked around and took Ciel aside. "Harvey has been seeing a therapist for quite some time. He suffers from a severe case of Dissociative Identity Disorder that crops up under times of stress or agitation. I've seen it myself, it's like he turns into an entirely different person. However, he's been doing very well with therapy and medication...but he didn't want anyone to know lest it impact his work for the DA's office."

"I'm worried that whatever the Joker has arranged to do to him could result in something very bad..."

Joker was heard by them from the interrogation room:

"These people need you right now...but when they don't? They'll cast you out like a leper! The morals...their code? It's a bad joke which is dropped at the first sign of trouble." Joker ranted as he approached the glass and peered into the mirror, knowing the GCPD and Ciel were on the other side. "You're all only as good as the world allows you to be....and I'll show you Bats....when the chips are down these so called civilized people?"

"They'll EAT each other."

Batman had heard enough, and grabbed the back of Joker's head and smashed his face into the glass. "Where are they?!"

"Hahahahahahaha!!" Joker cackled as he fell to the floor and Batman began smashing his fist into the clown's face and stomping on him. "You have NOTHING! Nothing you can do to threaten me!! Nothing you can do with all that strength!"

Batman grabbed Joker by the throat, "Don't worry! I'll tell you where they are!! And that's the point...you'll have to choose between two lives...but only be able to save one! HA HA HA HA!"

Batman loosened his grip slightly, "What did you do?"

"I took Gotham's favorite attorney...and brought him down to our level! It's not hard..considering he's already halfway there..y'see madness is like gravity!"

"All it takes...is a little...push!"

=Unknown Location...a short while later=

Harvey stirred awake, bound to a chair...he was hearing it...a growling voice...in his head. "Harvey....poor sad little Harvey...looks like you're in need of some help. How the mighty have fallen, eh?"

"Y-you....leave me alone...I don't...I don't need you!" Harvey's brow began to bead with sweat from concentration.

"Oh, but you do! You'll be dead if you don't!"

"Harvey?!" A voice came over a nearby speaker.

"Gilda!?" Dent called out.

"Harvey..I'm scared...he...he said only one of us would make it out." Gilda tearfully said.

"N-no....no! I won't let anything happen to you!" Harvey said as he began to rock the chair back and forth until he fell over and knocked a nearby oil drum onto it's side.

As the murky liquid poured out and Dent lay on his side with it pooling onto his face and left arm...he screamed.

Burning

Sizzling

Scorching pain the likes of which he'd never felt before.

"Harvey!? Harvey!" Gilda cried out just as Sebastian burst into her location and Batman burst into Harvey's. Batman untied Harvey and hauled him up, still screaming and wailing about his face. Batman's white slits widened, "My...god..."

Later, the ambulances arrived and Harvey was placed on a gurney and the left side of his badly scalded and burned body was covered in bandages. "Mr. Dent, please we're only trying to-!" an EMT cried out as Harvey swatted at his face, badly scratching his cheek deeply.

"NO NO! GET AWAY! AAARGH!" Dent writhed and shrieked, his vocal cords had been badly damaged by the acid it sounded.

"He's shattered." Said the doctors as they were talking to Gilda Dent, who was now at the hospital, unharmed. Ciel's orders did that much good. However, Sebastian ensured she wouldn't remember him, that she'd believe some passerby helped heard her screams and got to her in time before her fate was sealed.

Outside the hospital Ciel was waiting for Bruce Wayne. Sebastian was dusting the bookcases at the Manor. When the billionaire playboy did arrive at the location Ciel chuckled ruefully. "It's funny how humanity works. I almost forgotten what it felt like. The internal struggle we all face. Something tells me poor Harvey's lost his struggle, and it'll only be a long battle upwards for him to even try to be free of it." The Earl sighed.

"Sometimes I wonder, if being a Watchdog against the criminal underworld is enough to keep it in check. The criminal element evolves, and sometimes we lose in the harshest of ways. But then I realize, we just keep fighting regardless." Ciel turned his one eye to Bruce. "I look forward to the partnership Bruce Wayne. Stop by tomorrow and I'll have you meet the other members of my staff and we will visit an associate of mine for information on a case Gordon wishes me to handle. A serial burgler, and of course, anything else of interest to our mutual friend."

Bruce sighed, "GCPD made a gruesome discovery in an abandoned building. Joker'd apparently been testing some type of poison he'd invented on over twelve people they found. They were all dead...but the strange part is they each had big smiles on their faces which in some cases unhinged their jaws or caused their gums to bleed." Bruce stated grimly.

"Wherever he's keeping the poison stash, Gordon hasn't found it yet." Bruce said. "How are those servants of yours adjusting to modern life?" Bruce asked with a wry smile.

"Bane is still out there somewhere...but he must be keeping a low profile."

Meanwhile...a certain fear-obsessed villain was secretly pouring barrels of fear liquid into Gotham's water supply...on orders from a mysterious man known as Ra's al Ghul: the Demon's Head.

=Wayne Manor, One o' clock in the morning =

"Mr. Wayne?" Lucius Fox's voice said on the other end of Bruce's cell phone in the middle of the night.

"Yeah? Lucius it's really-" Bruce began, only for Lucius to interrupt: "I know. But Bruce, something's happened. The Micro-Wave Emitter has been stolen. The ship it was on was attacked in the middle of the ocean, whoever did this must've had a helicopter to make off with it."

In the Phantomhive manor, things were anything but quie thatt. Why? Because it had a mouse infestation. Now it would be solved quickly by Sebastian if ordered. However, the other servants were the ones panicking.

"Get the mouse!" Shouted a tall man in a chef's uniform.

"'e went this way!!" Shouted a maid as a Gardener grabbed a hold of a marble bust.

"I've got him!!" The chase was on for the mouse as the three servants gave chase.

"Different century, same problems." Ciel muttered as he sat in his study and drank his tea. "I often wonder if it was worth bringing them back after all."

Of course, the head of Funtom knew it was worth it. With what the Joker did, he didn't want to leave the manor unguarded. An Englishman's home is his Castle. He wouldn't dare let anyone malicious to him in, or out.

"What a noisy start of the day." Was all he commented on as his cell phone rang. Naturally he answered. "Earl of Phantomhive Speaking."

"Mister Phantomhive! Thank goodness, this is an emergency...but I cannot risk calling the police!" Alfred cried into Ciel's ear. Alfred explained Bruce had come into contact as Batman with someone who poisoned him with some sort of drug. And now he had fled Wayne Manor and was missing!

"Perhaps you should use your abilities to lock onto his mind...so to speak..and peer through his eyes to try to decipher where he is." Sebastian suggested.

=Crime Alley=

Gordon and his men were trying to catch the raving Bruce Wayne as he shot through crime alley, sobbing and wailing. "Run, mother!"

"Mister Wayne! Calm down! We need you to come with us!" Gordon tried to calm the man down. But as Ciel would see, when Bruce turned he didn't see Gordon...he saw Joe Chill.

Ciel would see that in Bruce's memories, young nine-year-old Bruce had suggested his mother wear the pearl necklace for their special movie night.

Bruce turned and ran, Gordon shouting after him. Bruce was wailing "He wants the pearls!"

Wayne ran into the Gotham Cemetary and collapsed in front of his mother's grave...sobbing: "S-sorry! So sorry! He wants the pearls!!"

"How interesting."

"Hm?" Sebastian hummed as he stood in attention.

"Sebastian, he's at the cemetery. He's hallucinating, the drug in his system is inducing buried fears." Ciel mused. "Go fetch him and we'll purge it ourselves."

"Consider it done. As a member of the Phantomhive Household, doing this small task is next to nothing." Sebastian stated. "I will be certain to give him the full Phantomhive treatment."

----

It was moments later Sebastian appeared near the grave sites of the Late Thomas and Martha Wayne. "Now now, there's no need for dramatics Mr. Wayne. If the fidgeting and the addressing of fears is anything, you're experiencing a torturing dosage of a rare Tibetan herb, usually breathed in incense by monks to confront their innermost demons. An intriguing notion." Sebastian heaved a sigh and moved closer to Bruce.

"But regardless, I have my orders. We're going to my Master's for proper treatment and detoxification." The Butler gave Bruce a chop to render Bruce unconscious so that he could transport him easier. "When we return I shall contact Alfred. Such a devoted colleague in this field of being a Butler."

-----

Sebastian was walking to check on Bruce's progress on the detox as he noticed Mey-Rin, and Finny chasing two mice as he stood still and suddenly,

Smack!

Sebastian deposited the stunned rodents and dusted his hands. "There. Now will you please get on with your work?"

"Y-yes sir!" With that the two ran off.

"Hm, I must check with Bardroy after I check in on our guest. He has been busy in the kitchen. Let's hope he hasn't burned it yet." He mused as he walked to the guest room.
