AN (aka rambling section): So there's been a lot of good Robin/Jason moments as in he doesn't appear to hate her forever like I thought he was supposed to. :-P So this chapter is going to go along with that (man I wish you could have seen my face the first time I was tuned in for one of those moments…Really hadn't been expecting it).

Commenting Back: Hmm jealous. Jason is something, but it's not jealous, well not yet. :-P

Warning:Spinelli may be REALLY overdone or maybe overdone is how Spinelli is done…Oh well good luck with reading because the majority of the chapter is through his eyes.

Thanks for reading!!

Attempting to Suspend Reality

"I need you to move your stuff into Sam's room," Jason said coming down the stairs as Spinelli walked in the door.

"All of the Jackal's numerous belongings?"

"Yea," he quickly nodded as he pulled out his phone. "And put her stuff back where it was."

"Stained tee-shirts and half used shampoo bottles?"

"And her sheets, they're in the closet."

"She's moving back in?"

Jason's eyes widened in annoyance over this continued discussion, "I don't know. You're in her room. Be glad I'm just asking you to change rooms."

"I am, I am," his hands lifted, "not that you would ever put the J-"

Jason just looked at him, the phone in his hand still waiting for a call to be made.

"I'll just go," he nodded nervously and nearly hopped out of the room.

Jason shook his head as his friend scampered up the stairs, hearing him stumble over his feet as he reached the top, Jason's thumb quickly scrolled through his contacts before finding the number he needed, "Robin, it's Jason."

-x-X-x-

The Jackal mumbled the indignities of being cast out of his room as he tried to reassure himself that at least the move to Sam's room would allow a more appealing aspect to the ladies, should he ever figure out how to get a lady up there. Surely the Fair Nadine would be more impressed or at least less horrified by the neutrals.

He paused as he lifted onto his toes as he tried to reach Brenda's comforter, cursing Stone Cold for as always not remembering there were those shorter than him in the apartment and refusing to pull out the step Sam kept in the closet for such occurrences. Then his head turned and the sheets were forgotten as he heard voices. Was that the brilliant Dr. Robin he heard?

"I don't understand why she would be at his house," positive, that raised voice was the impeccable, resourceful, brave under- "Jason, if she gets involved with him again-" very very angry Dr. Robin.

Surely if Persephone chose to take a bite of the pomegranate once more it was her choice to live the contrary existence. The Godfather's girlfriend who broke bread with the police commissioner. Contrary seemed to be Persephone's only path in life, she had been a Morgan and a Quartermaine, a path too daunting even for Stone Cold.

"She is not going to get involved with him again," Stone Cold's force was evident. He had heard the tales of the strong stand Stone Cold had taken in opposition to his sister's and the Godfather's relationship…

"And how are you going to prevent it Jason?" Dr. Robin demanded answers that the Jackal was indeed very curious to hear. "You married her and she was still kissing him."

There was a momentary silence, "She knows better than to get involved with Sonny again."

"Oh really? Are you sure about that? Because the Brenda I know sometimes forgets that she prefers living to being with him."

That was harsh of Dr. Robin, especially so soon after the death of-

"Do you think I don't know that?" Stone Cold's voice once more lifted, Stone Cold normally did not display such anger towards Dr. Robin; it was why the Jackal had felt assured to call his mentor during the inexplicable failure on his part during Dr. Robin's quest for progeny.

"Maybe this was just a fluke," her voice softened, tender in an effort to console him, the Jackal not for the first time wondered what they had been like as a couple. Her compassion, his strength…

"He seems happy with Kate," she continued.

"She isn't Brenda," Stone Cold now icily informed his former mate. "He can't have her, so he wants her."

And why couldn't the Godfather have Persephone??? He wondered nearly falling into the stairway trying to urge on the information.

"They weren't like that Jason, don't make them like that," annoyance in Dr. Robin's voice, that too was unusual.

"They were bad for each other," the quick response.

"They were in love," the Jackal could see the smile on her face through her tone, "madly, passionately, crazily in love."

"Crazy yes," the curt response.

"They would have done anything for each other," she ignored him.

"Except what was best for them."

"He left Jason; he left Port Charles, left the business, left everything."

The Jackal had heard stories of this, the year the Godfather had disappeared for, preceded by Persephone being left at the altar.

"No he tried to leave," Stone Cold corrected once more with his voice lifting. "How long do you think he would have lasted if he hadn't thought she was dead?"

"That's something we'll never know," her voice continued to be soft.

"He would have come back, it was impossible to keep him away."

"She wants more than that Jason, she deserves more than that, she knows that, she made you marry her in order-"

"She thought she was dying-"

"Still though-"

"Do you remember why Jax called off their wedding?"

"Jason it was one kiss and Sonny-"

"Sonny was with Carly-"

"And now he has Kate," she pointed out.

"He was married to Carly, they had Michael and he still-"

"Maybe it'll be fine," she conceded, despite the fact that she had been yelling at him for answers. "Maybe Rivera's threat-"

"We think it might be safe, they can't track down everyone Robin, the threat's still out there. Worse people that know about the threat, even if there's no money to be gained, but they think there is..."

"Jason," she once more tenderly began.

"The reason he left her is still there, but Sonny…He'll talk himself out of it. He almost did before. He'll convince himself that it's safe, that he can keep her safe, if he can't Robin…"

"She's smart Jason, she knows better," the compassion in Dr. Robin's voice was almost palpable.

"You know we're taking about Brenda right?"

The Jackal stopped himself from laughing just in time.

"Be nice," her voice suddenly lifted in amusement and the Jackal thought he could hear a slight swat, which he assumed was Dr. Robin hitting Stone Cold. So very odd. Maybe the sound was just in his mind."I'm gonna go check on her."

'Oh shit,' the Jackal panicked.

"What about-" Stone Cold tried to ask and the Jackal froze waiting for the tale to go on, more interested by it than he was worried about discovery.

"I talked to Alice, they thought she was sleeping, she promised to tell them she was at my place."

Another dead silence and Spinelli wondered if he should be running for the safety of his room. Slight footsteps and he started to slowly back away from the stairs, ready to break into a dash if need be.

" Alice said she'd been in Jason's room."

The Jackal's footsteps froze as his head creaked forward to hear better.

"That she was in his bed clutching the Mighty Mouse that Emily won for him."

"The what?" the Jackal's heart almost broke hearing Stone Cold's pain.

"Mighty Mouse," Dr. Robin let out a pained laugh, "it was this superhero mouse, who always saved the day. Brenda and I took Emily to the county fair, a girl's day. Brenda and Emily got it in their head that they had to win you-him a Mighty Mouse when they saw it. Emily also had about twenty goldfish that lasted a day," Robin let out another bittersweet laugh. "We sang that damn song for days," the Jackal could almost hear the tears in her laughter.

"I…" and see his mentor's frustration.

"Here I come to save the day," she half sung/half spoke to him.

"I…I wish I could remember that."

Oh the Jackal was glad the Blonde One had been forbidden from being picked up in the seriously sweet ride Persephone possessed. That last statement would had resulted in a large, 'Oh…' and a thud as she hit the ground with emotion.

"You were always her hero Jason," the Jackal would not cry, he would not cry!

"She put her faith in the wrong person," his voice suddenly broke up and it took a moment to return, "I should have stayed away from her like they always told me to."

"She wouldn't have let you Jason, she was your sister, you were her brother."

"I…I should go check on Spinelli, he's probably sitting in front of his computer-"

The Jackal's eyes widened and his feet took off without daring to risk waiting around to see if the story was continued.

Umm soo glad you wanted it to continue or not?
