Chapter 8:
I was about to help Bruce, but a couple of the league's ninja's decided to finally do something besides watch. I tried to beat them a quickly as i could. Jason pulled out a knife and approached Bruce. "You're time is done old man." he said as he raised the blade in the air. But before he could stab Bruce, he heard the voice of the girl he loved. "JASON NO!" she yelled. Jason looked back to see Barbra. I don't know what she was doing there, but she crawled into the room. Jason dropped the knife and rushed over to her. "What are you doing here?" he asked.
"Jason please you have to stop this." she pleaded.
"I can't stop. I won't stop." He said.
"Jason look around. Look at what you're doing. Look at the madness." She said.
Jason looked around. He saw me holding Bruce in my arms. I shot him a hateful look. He then looked over to see Nightwing and Robin wake up and struggle to their feet.
"Jason I'm begging you. Come back to us." Barbra pleaded.
Tim was about to rush over to her, when Barbra raised her hand to signal Tim to stop. She caressed Jason's cheek with her other hand. "The joker wanted you to become a monster like him. Unless you do something to stop this, that means he won." Barbra said.
A ninja walked over to them. "Shall i dispatch this trash for you sir." he asked. Jason didn't like that at all. He drove his fist straight into the Ninja's knee and mend it bend the wrong way. Jason the picked up Barbra, carried her over to Tim, and handed her off to him. "Get Barbra out of here. I'm gonna hold of these assholes." Jason said. Tim nodded. "Take care of her." Jason said coldly. Again Tim nodded. Jason gave Barbra one last look as he walked over to Dick and I. We were helping up Bruce when he approached us.
"I'm sorry." Is all he had to say as he walked past us. Dick and I helped Bruce out of the hideout as Jason fought off the army of ninja's. "Traitor!" they shouted. Jason didn't say anything. He just brutally fought them off. Jason put up a hell of a fight. He was out numbered but he didn't hold back. He pulled out a couple of pistols and shot some of them. It looked a lot like the church fight scene in the movie Kingsman. Jason went into survival mode. He ended up killing all of the members of the league. Talia vanished. We never heard from that bitch ever again.
We got back to the cave. Bruce and I went to bed. We didn't make love, we just held each other and were thankful for the fact that we both got out of there alive. "I love you." i whispered in his ear. He grinned. "I love you too." he said back softly.
A couple weeks later, after Bruce was fully healed he went out looking for Jason. He had heard some stories of the Red Hood doing some random acts of vigilantism. But he couldn't get any clue's on where Jason might be hiding. The only thing he saw was a security image of Jason fighting a group of bad guys. Jason's gear was a little different. He wasn't wearing a black jacket anymore. His jacket was brown now, his shirt was grey but had a red bat-symbol painted on it. He still used guns but only to wound people. He wasn't killing anymore.
Bruce asked Barbra if knew if she had anything to do with Jason changing his ways. She denied any contact with him, but i think she was lying trying to protect Jason. She knew he didn't want to have anything to do with Bruce. I feel bad for Jason sometimes. He's had a rough upbringing and an even rougher young adult life. Dying and coming back to life tends to mess with your mind. But he's trying hard to become a good man. Plus the girl of his dreams is in a relationship with a man he see's as his replacement. And that stings. But i hope he can pull it together.
Well i guess this is the end. Bruce and I went on to have a lot of crazy nights together. Whether it was in the streets or in the sheets, every night was a fun night. I'm with the man of my dreams. And he tells me he's with the girl of his dreams. The Bat and The Cat, together forever. Sounds good to me.
The End.
