Nothing To Fear Chapter 14
A/N: GASP?! COULD THIS BE TRUE?! AM I ACTUALLY FINALLY UPDATING THIS STORY? YES! Look guys, I am so sorry for how long I made you all wait for this, I've just had some massive writers block when it came to how I was going to start this one. This is the final chapter, so if you have any questions, or if you'd like to request something for me to do next, feel free.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters... I just wish I did...
The heist was perfect. Well... almost perfect...
Jonathan had run out of the chemicals that he needed for his toxin and had set out for the night to find a new 'supplier'. Jervis had gone with him just for the sake of supplying some company. Everything had gone smoothly, until they tried to brighten the warehouse up a little.
Apparently, a busy-body neighbour had seen one too many lights on in the building's windows for their own personal liking, and had called the cops to report 'suspicious activity.' The GCPD had responded almost immediately, sending a few of their nearby squad cars to the scene. Unfortunately for our beloved rogues, a certain Bat had decided to tag along to the scene as well just to check things out.
Jonathan cursed quietly under his breath and the sirens blared from outside the building's walls.
"I suppose we must have just set a record for getting caught so quickly..." Jervis said quietly, adjusting his hat absentmindedly. Jonathan's mouth formed into a tight line.
"No.. There's got to be an emergency exit of some sort around here..." He said, glancing around the warehouse's vast space. He soon spotted a fire exit on the far wall, and ran towards it. "Hmmmm... It says an alarm will sound when it's opened... should we risk it?"
Jervis shrugged, "I don't see why not... however, if we could cut the power, it would probably turn the alarm off before it would become a problem." He pointed to the main power grid to his right.
"Hm. Sounds all well and good, but won't that also shut off all the lights? I think that might be a tad obvious to the people outside.."
"Oh, don't worry." Jervis said. "I'll only shut off the parts that we need." Having said that, he flipped off only two of the many different switches on the board. The entire building was quickly plunged into darkness, temporarily leaving both men blind.
"I thought you weren't going to turn the lights off!!" Jonathan cried, desperately groping in the darkness for the door's push handle.
"I'm sorry!! It's been a fair while since I've had to work on a power grid..." He paused. "At least the door's alarm is turned off..."
As he said that, Jonathan found the door's handle and pushed down on it. The silence of the room they were in then echoed with the ear-splitting cry of the alarm.
"You're an idiot." Jonathan said simply, stumbling out of the doorway and into the dimly lit alley way.
"I said I was sorry..." Jervis said weakly, rubbing at his eyes like a tired child. Jonathan took a few more steps further, his eyes still trying to adjust to the new lighting, when he suddenly walked into what seemed to be a solid wall. He looked closer and locked eyes with the soul crushing glare of none other than the Batman himself.
In a split second, he found himself being dragged across the ground by the collar of his jacket towards an open cop car. Jonathan groaned, mentally berating himself for being such an easy catch. He looked over and noticed that Jervis was also getting the same treatment from a rather burly looking cop, who was currently shoving him into the same car he was headed to.
Once the two men had been safely stowed away in the back of the police cruiser (with more force than what was really necessary) Jonathan and Jervis had time to contemplate their new options.
"Hmph. We're going back to Arkham, aren't we?" Jervis whined.
"Where else?" Jonathan replied, tilting his head against the back of his seat and sighing. Jervis smiled up at the man beside him.
"I don't think it'll be as bad now though..." He said quietly. Jonathan kept his eyes closed and mumbled:
"Really? And why is that, exactly?"
"Because I have you now..."
Jonathan felt a light blush work its way into his face and he smiled slightly. He leaned down and pulled Jervis into a passionate kiss. That kiss was unfortunately interrupted quite abruptly by the cop in the front throwing a pencil and the two of them.
"Eh, save your homo-fag antics for when you're in prison, 'kay?" He grumbled.
"Hmm... A little on the homophobic side, are you?" Jonathan asked, grinning. The cop paled slightly and shook his head.
"No." He said curtly. Too curtly. Both men looked at each other and smiled.
"Oh, this'll be a fun ride back home..."
