Chapter 77: Witch Hunt

Bruce's POV

"Jason. I need you to watch Damian and his friends tonight. I won't be back until later on."

A look of pure terror flashed across his face. "No! No! No!"

"Jason, I'm sure Damian will behave. He's older now and-"

"He tried to kill me!"

Actually, I came home and found Jason tied to a target, while Damian threw throwing knives at him the last time I left them alone.

"Jason, I'm sure Damian won't kill you." I responded.

"He's a demon! Ask anyone, except Dick!"

"Jason. You will keep an eye on him tonight and that is final."

Jason's POV

I'm all alone tonight. Bruce abandoned me to go to a party with some chick. Dick's out with Barbara. Tim's at some little blonde girl's house doing a project. Damian's upstairs with Colin, Mia, and AJ. And Alfred's at Leslie's to "discuss medical notes." Everyone's got a date and something to do but me. I have to stay home and babysit four midgets.

I pause 21 Jump Street as the sound of tiny footsteps pound down the staircase. What do they want know? Can't they just leave me alone for five minutes?

"Todd, my companions are bored and we order you to entertain us." Damian ordered as I rolled my eyes at him.

"Damian, I'm watching a movie. Go play in the road or something." I responded as he narrowed his eyes at me.

"I could get hit by a car." He replied as I rolled my eyes again.

"We live in the middle of freaking nowhere! You'll be fine." I reply as he and his friends stomp back up stairs.

"Annoying brats." I mumble as I turn my movie back on.

Damian's POV

"Damian, I'm still bored." Colin whines as AJ continues creating miniature tidal waves out of his juice.

"I am aware of that, Colin! And AJ, stop doing that before you spill juice onto my carpet!" I snapped.

"What are we going to do for fun?" Colin asked as I rolled my eyes. They expect me to do everything.

"Hmm… Have either of you played witch hunt before?" I ask as Colin and AJ shake their heads.

"I have!" Mia exclaimed. "And we have the perfect person to play the witch."

Jason's POV

"What the Hell!" I screamed as a knife whizzed by my head. "Damian!"

"Kill the witch!" the savages screamed as I turned to face them.

The witch? Is Klarion here? Why are they looking at me like that? Hmm, me versus Robin, Speedy, Abuse, and Aqualad... I think I should run.

I leapt of off the couch as a throwing knife impaled the couch. Why can't they be normal and use nerf guns?

"Ha! You missed!" I exclaimed as an arrow whizzed by my head.

"Get the witch!" Damian screamed as a tidal wave crashed next to me.

"AJ stop! Bruce will kill me if water gets everywhere!" I screamed, narrowly avoiding the wave.

I quickly retreated as arrows, knives, and water tried to kill me. Turning the corner, I smacked into something that felt like a mountain. My eyes traveled up the form of Abuse… oh shit.

Dick's POV

I cannot believe Commissioner Gordon got off work early. So much for sex! So, our date finished early.

"Jason!" I screamed as I entered the house.

He was gagged and tied to a kitchen chair.

"You okay What happen-?" I asked, peeling the tape off of his mouth.

"Behind you!" Jason screamed as I turned to find Damian, Mia, Colin, and AJ running towards me with rope and duct tape.

Oh shit.

Jason's POV

"Today, we are holding a trial to determine if the accused are actually witches." The 'honorable judge' Damian declared. "Will the defendants please come forward?"

Immediately, Dick and I were shoved forward and pushed onto our knees.

"And what do you have to say for yourselves?" our soon-to-be murdered little brother asked.

"Mmmphh!" We cried beneath the tape covering our mouths.

"Your honor, I currently represent the defendants, since they are choosing not to speak for themselves." Mia replied.

"Very well." Damian responded.

"My clients plead guilty to all accusations of witchcraft." Mia responded.

"Since they have chosen to plead guilty, the jury will now give the ruling. Damian called as AJ stood.

"That the defendants… Burn!" AJ shouted.

"It's agreed. Bailiff Colin, escort them to the stake." Damian ordered.

Dick's POV

God, please forgive Damian. He's a little misguided at times.

Jason and I swapped nervous glances as we were tied back-to-back to a tree. Slowly, Damian approached us with Jay's cigarette lighter.

Oh my God! I'm too young to die!

"Damian! What are you doing!" Bruce yelled.

Daddy! We're saved! Thank God!

"Father, we were just merely playing a game with Grayson and Todd." Damian replied innocently.

"Alright, but I don't want you playing with a cigarette lighter." Bruce ordered as he confiscated the lighter. "Have fun boys, Mia."

"Bye Mr. Wayne!" Mia shouted pleasantly as Bruce walked inside.

No! Bruce! Come back!

"Now what?" Colin asked as Damian shrugged.

"We can drown them in the pool." AJ suggested.

"We can make them listen to Justin Beber." Mia suggested.

"Colin, get the headphones and Drake's Lego set. This is going to be painful." Damian replied.

No! Nothing hurts worse than stepping on a Lego and listening to Justin Beber! Bruce! Bruce!
