Jason's hand was beginning to tremble. He gripped his pen tighter, and tried to focus on his homework. Another screech. In true 'confined-madman' fashion, he thrashed around, successfuly knocking his calculator down.

"Would you stop tormenting that poor violin for ten fucking minutes?" He exclaimed and turned to glare at a very surprised, very offended Garfield, who was holding a violin.

"Dude!" He protested, pointing his bow at the older boy accusingly. "You could have told me it was bothering you! Besides, why are you doing your homework here?"

"Because D-Nightwing's driving me insane!" Jason yelled, as if God would hear and strike his fake older brother dead. He pushed his hair back in frustration.

"Where the hell did you get a violin anyway?"

"Megan bought it for me." The green boy said proudly. "She thinks I'm good at it." He jutted his chin at him.

Jason really wished he could strangle both the Martian and her blood-brother. Sure, they were getting over Marie's death and everything, but goddamn if they annoyed the shit of him. Whenever they were in the same room, they wouldn't shut up.

Tiredly, he bent down to pick up his calculator, and then tossed it on the table unceremoniously. Gar had taken the clue and had stopped trying to play, but that didn't stop him from being insufferable.

"Hey..." Gar started. Jason pretended not to hear him, and focused on the algebra problem.

"Hey." The green skinned boy had gotten up, and was leaning over Jason's shoulder. Then he flicked his head.

"Hey."

"What?!"

"Do you wanna play video games?"

Jason pinched the bridge of nose, earning a giggle- a giggle- from Gar.

"You look like Nightwing." Jason gave him his deluxe 'you're dead' look, but it would take more than that to scare the boy.

"If you haven't noticed..." Jason started, trying his best not to lunge at Gar, who was still grinning like an idiot. "I have algebra to do. I don't have time for video games."

Gar's tail fell with disappointment. "Oh c'mon!" He complained. "Everyone's always so busy."

"Ask Marvel." Jason answered, hoping this would give him at least ten more minutes of silence. Unfortunately for him, Gar not only considered the idea, he went and actually sent Captain Marvel an SOS. Literally.

Captain Marvel burst into the room, the disembodied computer voice having just announced his presence.

"What's wrong? Where are the evil monkeys?" He shouted, looking around bewildered.

"Their attacking my village!" Gar replied, equally loud.

Jason's head dropped to the head with a loud bang and a deep sigh. "You're kidding." He mumbled to himself.

Captain Marvel looked at Gar skeptically. "Well, I was supposed to help Martian Manhunter with something...Oh well, he can do it himself." And with that, they plopped down on the couch and went on a monkey killing spree, shouting and cheering each other on in the process.

J'onn scratched his head.

"I was sure I told Billy this was of utmost importance..."

"I don't think he knows what that means..." Hawkwoman answered with an exasperated sigh.
