Chapter 85: Death Do Us Part

Jason's POV

I scowl as I see Dick's new girlfriend, Melody, on his bed. I do not like her. I have a bad vibe about this bitch. She's not even a redhead! Barbara and Dick broke up again about two days ago. I figured they'd make up, but now Dick has Melody. Unfortunately… How does he even get so many girls that fast! I mean it's been two days! Two freaking days!

Melody is about 5'6, fit, extremely sexy, dirty blonde, light brown eyes, nice boobs and amazing ass. Yet, I'm not turned on. Then again, I do have a girlfriend… There's just something weird about Melody.

"Hello, Jason." She greets seductively and moves towards me.

"Hi." I reply coldly. "Where's Dick?"

"Not here. It's just us." She replies and smiles at me.

I turn to leave, but she moves in front of me, blocking the door. "Didn't you hear me? Dick's not here. We're alone."

"Yeah, I heard you. I'm not freaking deaf… Move." I growl.

She reaches out and lays her hand on my chest. Forcibly, I grab her hand and swing her around so my back's against the doorway. A look of pure fear enters her eyes.

"Please, don't hurt me. Please don't make me do this. I… I love Dick." She pleads.

"Huh?"

"Jason! What the hell are you doing!" Dick screams.

I turn to find Dick, incredibly pissed, standing in the doorway. I immediately let go of her hand and she runs towards Dick and throws her arms around him.

"I… she… it's not what it looks like!"

"Thank God, you got here in time." The bitch exclaims.

"Come on, Mel. We're going." Dick growls as the bitch winks at me and blows me a kiss from behind Dick as they leave.

What just happened?

********Break********

"Dick, I need to talk to you about what happened earlier." I say as I enter his room.

"There's nothing to say. Melody already told me what happened." He replies without looking up from his textbook.

"Come on. You know me better than that. You know I wouldn't do something like that. I already have a girlfriend! I love Donna and I wouldn't do anything to hurt you!"

"No, I thought I knew you better than that." He replies coldly. "Get out, Jason."

"Don't you want to hear my side of the story? I'm your brother!"

He shuts his textbook and moves towards me. We're standing face to face.

"Listen very carefully. Stay away from her." He threatens.

"Dick, you have to believe me! The bitch-"

"Enough! I don't want to hear it! She told me what happened about what you were trying to do! If you know what's good for you, you'll stay away from her!" he replies before pushing past me and leaving the room.

********Break********

This bitch is trying to ruin my relationship with my brother and that is not going to happen. Climbing off of my bike, I look at the address Tim gave me. Yeah, this is her apartment. As I make my way towards her apartment, I can see the bitch talking to someone on her phone through the window. I move closer, so I can eavesdrop easier.

"I'm planning our wedding is tomorrow." She pauses. "Of course, Grayson will go through with the wedding. After all, he is in love with me. Just remember what your part is. While we're on the honeymoon, arrange for him to have… a tragic accident. But, first I'll need you to take care of the eavesdropper under my window."

Oh shit. I turn to find myself staring at the barrel of a pistol. Well, my day just got worse.

"Already taken care of." The unknown guy holding the gun replies and closes his cellphone before sliding it into his pocket. "Move." he orders, gesturing to the apartment.

Tim's POV

"Dick, have you seen Jay? He promised to patrol with me tonight." I asked while coming into his room.

"No." Dick replies coldly.

"Did you two get in a fight?" I ask.

"Timmy, I'm a little busy right now. So, if you don't mind-"

"But, what about Jay?"

"I don't know where he is and I really don't care right now."

"You should care. He's your little brother and you love him, just like you love me and Damian." I reply before leaving.

Jason's POV

I glare at the smirking bitch as her hitman ties me to a chair. I snarl as the bitch kisses her hitman on the cheek and he turns to leave us alone.

"You're not going to get away with this. You can't keep me here forever." I growl.

She smiles at me and moves to sit in my lap. "You know, I would have preferred you. You're forceful and strong and you take what you want. Dick's too much of a gentleman, but he is the only one who can access your daddy's money. None of you can touch anything until you turn twenty-one. Besides, I've gotten away with it before. And I can keep you here as long as I want to." She replies while reaching into my back pocket and pulling my knife out. Damn, how the frick did she know that was there?

"So, this is about money."

"Isn't it always about money?" she asks and leans her lips towards mine.

"Come any closer and I'll bite you." I threaten.

"Is that a threat or a promise?" she purrs.

"It's a promise. You're wasting your time. Dick is never going to marry you. Now, untie me." I growl.

"You didn't ask me nicely."

"Sorry. Untie me now, bitch."

Completely ignoring my last statement, she reached for a role of duct tape and cut a strip off with my knife, before slapping the strip over my lips. "And he will marry me. I'm sure Dick wouldn't want his little brother to get hurt if he got cold feet at our wedding." She replied, as my cellphone rang.

Reaching into my pocket, she removed my phone. "Well, well. It's your big brother. I bet he's worried about you. He should be." She replied, while ignoring the call and planting a kiss onto my forehead.

"Now, you be a good boy and I'll be-" she was interrupted by her doorbell.

"Melody, it's me, Dick. We need to talk." Dick's voice called from behind the door.

"Just a minute." she calls.

I watch as she moves over to a box sitting in the corner of the room. She lifts the box carefully and approaches me. She shakes the contents of the box. Then, very carefully the box is tipped onto my knee. My eyes grow large as a spider slowly crawls out. I freaking hate spiders.

"I wouldn't move if I were you. That's a brown recluse spider. The most poisonous spider in the world. You'll die if she decides to bite. Don't worry, they're normally not aggressive, but this spider just happens to be extremely pissed." She whispers before moving over to the door and stepping outside, closing the door behind her.

"Is something wrong?" she asks.

"Look, I don't know what happened with you and Jason earlier today and I really don't care. But, Jason is my little brother and he comes first. And I know that he'd never do anything to hurt me. I've only known you for a couple of days, but I've Jay since I was thirteen. Melody, we can't be together. I'm sorry. Besides, I'm in love with someone else."

"No! You can't do this to me!" she yells.

"Look, I'm sorry, but-"

"No! You're going to be sorry. You will marry me if you ever want to see your little brother again!"

"What did you do to him! Where's Jason!" Dick demands in his Batman voice.

I'm in here! Just kick her ass and come get this damn spider off me!

"If you want to see him again, then I'd suggest we find a church." She threatens.

"If you hurt my brother, I'll-"

"You'll do nothing; not as long as I have him!"

"What do you want?" Dick growls.

"We can discuss that on the way to the church. You drive." She orders.

Soon their voices stop talking. I'm left alone with a freaking pissed off spider! I hate spiders! Okay, I just need to remain calm. It's only an itsy, bitsy, bloodthirsty, poisonous, deadly, pissed, spider that can kill me! I am going to die. I practically stop breathing as the thing slowly starts to crawl up my chest.

The door suddenly opens, revealing Tim and Damian.

"I told you he was in trouble! You owe me twenty bucks!" Tim yells at Damian.

"No Drake, I told you he was humiliatingly captured and left in a death trap by a villain, therefore I am right. That spider crawling on his neck is extremely poisonous. Therefore, you owe me twenty dollars!" Damian counters.

Are you freaking serious! A freaking spider is crawling on my face! Oh my God! Oh my God! But, Damian and Tim are too busy betting on my life! What the hell! I am going to die! I'm too young to die. I haven't graduated yet. I haven't even gotten to drink legally yet. I haven't even gotten to go to Vegas as an adult yet. Donna and I haven't even had sex yet! I'm too young to die.

"Ha! You said villain! Dick's girlfriend did it!" Tim counters.

"Very well. Shall we call it a draw?" Damian asks.

"I guess so." Tim adds as they move towards me.

Damian plucks the spider from my face and Tim pulls the tape from my mouth and starts to untie me.

"Kill it! Kill it!" I scream.

"Todd, stop acting like a girl… I think I'll keep her." Damian replies and strokes the spider.

Jumping up, I quickly knock the carrier of death from his hands and calmly throw the chair at it. Then, I drag Tim and Damian away from the house.

"Damian, I need a grenade!" I shout as soon as we are outside.

"Of course, Todd. I actually carry grenades in my jeans." Damian replied sarcastically.

"Jason, forget the spider! What happened? Where's Melody?" Tim asks.

"Oh yeah… Dick! We need to get to the church!" I shout.

"Which one?" Tim asks.

"I don't know!" I reply.

"Was Dick driving?" Tim asked as I nodded. "Good. Now we track his car to see where they are."

"Very well, I shall drive." Damian replies and heads for my car. My car? My car!

"You drove my Hummer!" I shout.

Jason's POV

"The door's locked!" I yelled as we arrived at the church. "I don't suppose either of you have a lock pick?"

"No." they both reply as I let out a frustrated sigh.

"Where's Dick?" Barbara Gordon asks, coming towards us.

"What are you doing here?" Damian asks.

"I saw Dick's car and he doesn't even go to church here… and I want him back." she replies as I roll my eyes.

It's only been two days! Two freaking days!

"Dick's about marry some girl!" Tm shouts as Barbara's face flushes in anger.

"The Hell he is!" she screams before pushing the doors open.

"How did she do that?" Tim whispered as I shrugged.

"I have no idea, but we should probably never piss her off."

"Hey bitch! Back off my boyfriend!" Barbara screams, marching her way down the aisle.

Dick looks up stunned as Melody looks pissed. Me, Tim, and Damian watch as she the girls meet each other halfway.

"I don't know who you think you are, but-" Melody begins before Barbara sucker punches her in the face, knocking her out cold.

Holy shit!

Dick's POV

I watch in amazement as Barbara steps over Melody and walks right up to me.

"Richard John Grayson-Wayne, how dare you try to marry her! If you didn't want to be with me-" she shouts as I pull her towards me.

"I don't want any other girl. It's always been you, Babs. It's always been you." I whisper before kissing her.

"Good… You're mine, Dick. My one and only." She whispers back as I move to kiss her again.

********Break********

"I'm sorry I didn't listen to you earlier, Jay. I should have believed you. You're my brother and I know you better than that." I say as he rolls his eyes.

"You're forgiven, Big Bird… Besides, you would have married her to save me."

"Did she hurt you, Little Wing?"

"Dick, I'm like a rock. Nothing can hurt me." He confidently replied.

"Todd was crying when we rescued him!" Damian shouted as Jason turned red.

"Dick, she put a spider on me! A poisonous spider!"

"Is that why her apartment suddenly blew up today?"

"Um, it was a big spider."
