Day two for these guys. XD...or should I say beginning of day two? Idk, I may have to have the third part of this arc be the same day as this chapter because of...what's supposed to happen (please note: supposed. As of yet, not definite.) Also, just a note, but next chapter should actually have a title. So don't worry, it's still part of the Trapped Arc; I just want to hint what's next. ;D


It was the next morning...Already.

Jude could tell because he woke up wincing for his poor ears which were suffering due to high off-key lyrics in a foreign language. Groaning to himself, ramming the pillow over his head, he waited it out as long as he could manage then growled, ripping the covers off to roll out of bed. He swore, he was going to kill him. He was going to kill him. If this was what Titan expected him to deal with for the rest of the karking week, he might have to deal with the report as to why Jude would positively and shamelessly murdered a 'patient.'

Especially if the patient was Dick.

Clenching his teeth, he dragged himself to the holding cells where Dick and Mason sat behind their bars, sing-well, belting (couldn't really be called singing) out what sounded like a pop song but in a different language. Jude knew he personally knew nothing about linguistics, but he was pretty sure how they were pronouncing the words was incorrect compared to how the female singer was fluently gracing the heavens with her voice.

The comparison was painful.

''Dick, would you stop that infernal noise!?''

Dramatically appalled, Dick paused, gasping (complete with facial expression and grasping his hand over his heart in shock), ''You think this singer and the song is infernal!? Sir, how dare you!''

Hanging his head tiredly, Jude muttered, ''No, just you.''

...Mason continued 'singing' out of key...

''And your partner in crime.''

Mason slouched in his bunk, scowling playfully.

''Juuuude,'' Dick shook his head, clicking his tongue disappointedly. ''Are you trying to keep us from learning new stuff like a different language? Are you trying to keep us brainwashed with the stuff we learned in Kamino?''

Not hesitating for a moment save to consider his options, the medic returned Dick's question with a question: ''Well, considering the implications, which is worse? You learning new material and going crazy with it or you remaining brainwashed and still remaining at least somewhat controllable?''

As disgruntled protests bounced off the stone walls, Jude held up his hands placatingly.

''From personal experience, I'd go with the later when it comes to you two.''

Scowling, Dick exchanged a glance with Mason before turning to glare at their 'prison guard.'

''You know,'' Mason snarked, ''it's people like you that are the reason why we can't have nice things.''

''It's also people like you that are the reason why other's can't advance...So when you turn into a dictator and take control of your own little island, be sure to call me so I can be an advisor there.''

''And you,'' Jude smirked, crossing his arms over his chest, ''are still something called 'immature' if you're casting blame on some one other than yourselves for your personal predicaments. Now, go back to bed and maybe I'll be nice and bring you breakfast-'' he sighed, ''Yes, Dick?''

The adventurer dropped his raised hand, doing his best interpretation of tooka-eyes. ''Do we get it in bed?''

''No.''

''Stang'n kriff it.''

''Now, back to your beds.''

He waited, arms still crossed and he tapped his foot against the hard tile.

''Well?''

With groans and eyerolls, he was obeyed.

''Good. I'll be back in thirty minutes...assuming you behave.''

Of course, the moment he turned his back, they restarted the playlist again and began 'singing' - if it dare be called - off key. But it was a simple fix. All he had to do was disconnect the holo-connection and then no more music. It was a simple solution.

...Which he promptly did without any feelings of penitence.


XD I was listening to the Arabic version of Aladdin's ''Speechless'' (personally, I think it sounds better. Couldn't understand a word of it, but I want to. The Middle East has always fascinated me)) for this one and also the Arabic version of Frozen's ''Show Yourself'' and ''Million Dreams'' from the Greatest Showman.

As usual, despite how random this is, I hope you enjoyed reading it! :D

Holy cow, when was the last time I did this? O.O Special thanks to KarajeJinsta, Revee, and STARWARZMYLIFE for reviewing the last chapter! Thanks guys! :D
