[Jason scoffs. Right. They had other crap to deal with first. The sooner they got this over with, the better it was for everyone. Still, this isn't how Jason would like to work with an apparent villain. He'd rather they follow his rules and under his control. Just like what he did in Gotham.

Before Jason and Robbie could realize it, they're in this memory (Up to 2:05).

Jason's lurking up on a catwalk in the dark as he watches Gotham's top drug dealers gather for the meeting. He's armed with an AK-47 and there's a bloodied duffel bag besides his feet. He watches and listens as the dealers are suspicious and speculating who called them all together. Their conversation reinforces Jason's intel about how no one's been happy about being under Black Mask's control.

Once one of the dealers grows impatient and is about to leave, Jason announces his presence in a commanding voice. Time to establish who's got power. When the dealers whip out their guns, Jason calmly fires his AK-47 around and near the dealers. He had anticipated their reactions and knew they would cower when he shows his firepower. They already had given to Black Mask. Giving in to him would be easy. He just has to show who's got more power.

He snarls a command at them again but it's just for intimidation. Internally, he's still calm. Things were still going according to plan. Jason then presents his terms to the thugs. They're simple enough and they'll be allowed to continue their businesses for the most part. Any transactions involving kids though means he'll execute the dealers who were involved. Gotham has too many traumatized kids and broken homes as it is. He doesn't want any kid to go through what he did.

Then one of the dealers questions him. Jason had anticipated that as well. Without another word, he tosses the bloodied duffel bag over the railing. It lands on the table for the dealers to take a look. As soon as the bag is opened and the dealers step back in horror, Jason knows he's got them now. Good. They should be scared. There are going to be some new rules in Gotham. He's going to take the reins better than Bruce ever could. Crime can't be stopped but it can be controlled.

Jason coldly finishes his terms to the drug dealers. Then he ends the meeting by firing his gun again. A little more fear to make sure they don't forget who's the new crime lord.

Unlike with Robbie's memory, Jason's memory simply ends. For Jason's part, there's no rage or shame at all for what he's done, only anger that his memories and feelings are being exposed without his consent]
