Chapter 10
When Jason woke up, he was cuffed to a chair in a dark room. He looked around and found all that was in the room was two chairs, one which he occupied, and a table. Curious on what had occured he attempted to stand. He was restricted by the cuffs. As he cussed under his breath, the door into the small room opened. Robin entered and sat at the chair opposite himself.

"We know why your here." Robin spoke slowly. Jason sighed and leaned back in his chair.

His experssion showed no sign of concern. However, inside, he was screaming at himself. How did they know? He hadn't told a soul. As far as he knew, his cover hadn't been blown. Did they really know why he was there or was Robin just taking a shot in the dark? Either way, he had to play it cool. "I don't know what you're talking about," his voice monotone.

Robin began glaring at him. He wasn't particularly in a joking mood. Along with his glaring, he began to stare down Jason. Jason looked back at him with a face unintrested. Their stare down lasted minutes. The minutes seemed like hours, going by at the rate paint drys. The whole time, neither seemed to move a muscle. The stare down continued for another few minutes, before Robin stood up, and walked out.

"We're not getting anywhere with him, maybe I should talk to him..." she spoke. She had been watching from the other side of the glass. Waiting to hear a name, an explanation of why he did what he did.

The way she spoke, was calm, Robin seemed surprised. "Can you interrogate him without breaking bones?" he asked rather jokingly. Raven glared at him. "Not a good time for jokes, got it." He replied to her rather annoyed stare. Instead of questioning her ability, he moved from the way of the door and let her by.

When she entered the dark room, Jason's hair stood on end. He kept his facials in check, but Raven could feel the panicked vibes coming from him. He seemed to wince as she stepped closer. He was probably concerned for his safety and wellbeing. Rather than punching him like she wanted, she picked up the chair and sat it against the glass. She was trying not tempt herself to resort to... Different tactics of getting information.

As she sat down, Jason was on edge. His thoughts were jumbled, he couldn't decide what to do. Raven didn't even have to read his mind to know that, his aura said everything. "I'm not going to injure you," she assured. "As long as you tell us who hired you."

Jason still seemed jittery. He began to speak, "Well, you know I never really met the guy..." He tried to make excuses, but Raven didn't care. She was determined to get the information she wanted. "I hate to tell you, but he didn't exactly leave me his card," he spoke. His tone was rather joke like, but Raven wasn't amused.

Raven's piercing glare continued to stab through him. Not being able to suffer her wrath any longer, he turned his head away. Staring at the floor was so much simpler to handle. If he hadn't have become so close to her, he could have proven his innocents and have been halfway to his bosses place. But, he had gotten close to her. And that had put him at a disadvantage. His emotions were jumbled, his stomach knotted, and his heart seemed to be pounding in his chest.

For Jason's emotions, he felt pain for hurting her; guilt for lying to her; worry for how Wally and Lucky would react; terror of what Raven would do to him if he angered her any more; and entertainment from Robin's reaction of how he had unsuccessfully received information from him. His stomach was knotted because of his pain, guilt, worry, and terror. And his heart was especially beginning to pound because of his fear of Raven's reputation when she became angry. Should he tell her? Could he risk it? Could he trust her? Would he still have a place to stay? Would they protect him?

The questions continued spinning through his head. So much, that he even became a slightly dizzy. How was he to answer these questions? If he gave in and explained everything, he would never be trusted as a villain again. Not that he was really trusted by many now. He might as well throw in the hypothetical towel. As far as other villains knew, he already had turned good.

Jason began imagining himself as a titan. Saving dames, rescuing kids, helping little old ladies across the street, and helping little kittens out trees. He shuttered at the thought. Although, the idea of seeing Raven so often was rather nice. Seeing her glaring face every day would make the torture so much easier. He snickered in his head, not wanting to draw too much attention to himself. Though, at the moment, all eyes in the room (only being her beautiful sapphires) were on him already. His lips curled as he thought of ways to change the topic.

"What are you grinning about?" Raven asked in a monotone voice.

Jason simply winked at her. He moved his cuffed hands to his lips, pantomiming to turn a key as to lock his lips. Raven was not amused at his small bit of mime. If anything, her stabbing stare became even more violent. Jason rolled his eyes and continued grinning devilishly.

Raven stood, growing tired of his little games. She pushed her chair back under the table and began to leave.

Jason sat up, trying to stop her from leaving, while being silent. But, she continued to walk out. Not wanting her to leave, he gave them what they wanted,"Who do you think hired me?" Raven stopped, as she had just begun to turn the knob of the door handle.

"We don't know, we have a rather long list of enemies. You used to be on it, if I remember correctly," Raven spoke with a "matter-o'- factly" kind of way.

Jason forced a fake laugh. "Right, well. How about this? In order for you all to get the information you want, I get to stay, free of charge?"

Raven looked at him with a mix of annoyance and curiosity. "What do you mean? If you tell us, you get to stay?" she asked curiously. Jason nodded, with the same sly grin.

She turned to the glass. Beginning to speak with Robin telepathically. She nodded toward the window and turned back to Jason. "It's a deal," she spoke.

Jason smiled. But before he told her, he felt obligated to apologize. "Raven, I'm really..." he was cut off by the raising of her hand. She moved her head to look over her shoulder. Nodding for Robin to leave the observation room. She turned back to Jason and nodded. "Anyway... I'm really sorry. I didn't mean for you to get in the middle of this." As he began apologizing, she lowered her head, as if she couldn't stand to look at him. "I'm sorry..." he repeated.

"Save it," she spoke with a shaky voice. "Now, who hired you?" she repeated her question.

Jason spoke again,"I'm not telling you until you until you accept my apology." Raven seemed like she was holding back tears. She nodded her head, like she could not gain her voice to speak. "Slade," he spoke coldly. The name didn't seem to shock her. "Slade wanted to discover Robin's identity. Not a shocker?" Raven nodded no.

Raven began to leave the room. She was stopped by a nagging feeling. Turning back to the chair, she walked up to him fuming. Rather than yelling or screaming at him, she grabbed him by his shirt, and pecked him on the check. As she began blushing, he started grinning. "Let's go find that ass-hole. Agree?" Jason nodded enthusiastically.
