Complicatons have arose for the author again...but I'm sure she can fix it...I think O.o

"That actually turned out better than I thought it would. Well done everyone." the author spoke as the cast and staff began to leave for the day after rehearsing the scene for chapter 19. "Can someone please tell Jervis to stop acting? We're done for the day."

Nick rolled his eyes as he walked over to Jervis, kneeling down. "Hey, you can stop playing dead. The scene is over."

No response.

"Jervis?" Nick said, poking at him a bit before shaking his shoulder. "Dude are you okay? Get up." he shook a little harder. "Must have hit your head against the ground a little harder than we thought."

It wasn't until the coppery smell of blood hit Nick's face, causing him to almost gag from the smell. He looked closer at the supposed fake neck wound and lightly touched the still bleeding wound, only to realize that it wasn't fake blood. Nick felt his body freeze in place, unable to move as he stared at the dead body in fear, his mind still trying to process the new information.

"H-H-Hey...I n-n-need h-help!" he stuttered, saying it loud enough to grab the author's attention.

She walked over to Nick and stared at him with a look of confusion. "What's wrong with you? Why are you stuttering?" she asked.

"He's dead." Nick simply said, unsure of how else to say it.

"What!" the author replied, kneeling down beside Nick to check Jervis' body for a pulse.

No pulse. No heartbeat.

Only silence.

"Shit, shit! How the fuck did this happen!" she shouted, loud enough to grab Batman's attention.

He walked over to them and stared down at them questioningly. "What happened?" he asked, noticing that Jervis still had not moved from his spot.

The author did not want Batman to even know what was going on for fear that he would do something to Amy. "Nothing. Nothing happened. Everything's okay!" she said, trying to sound happy as she elbowed Nick, gesturing him to act normal.

"Uh yeah...everything's A okay here. No one died or anything like that." he spoke, the nervous tone in his voice being easily heard.

Batman was not stupid and knew there was something wrong. Using his bat vision he stared at Jervis' body, seeing no vital signs of life. He was dead. Amy had actually killed Jervis' in cold blood and did not try to tell anyone. He could feel his anger boiling and rising inside him as he gave a hateful glare before lashing out, punching the wall next to him which left a nice-sized hole from his fist.

"Where is she." he asked, hatred filling his tone.

"I...she...I don't know where she is. She left before I even noticed." the author replied, secretly lying to him.

Batman glared at the author. "When you see Amy, tell her I would like to have a word with her." and with that said he left.

Nick watched Batman walk away, looking at the author after he left the room completely. "She's hiding in the other story, isn't she?" he asked.

The author gave a nod. "Yeah. She knows he can't cross over there unless I allow it."

Nick scoffed. "Good luck on dragging her ass out from that story. Right now that's the only thing keeping Batman from finding her and beating the shit out of her." he glanced at Jervis' body and shuddered. "What are you going to do with him?" he gestured to the body.

"Don't worry, I have an idea on how to bring him back...just hope it works." then the sound of radio static filled the area, nearly scaring them both. "Goddamnit Mangle! Would you knock that shit off?"

"What the fuck is THAT thing doing here!" Nick asked, his voice holding a slight hint of fear. "It died in a vat of acid! There's no reason for it to be here!"

"Actually..." the author began, smiling nervously at Nick. "I plan on having Mangle make another appearance. I don't think she had enough spotlight so it's only fair if she got a little more attention. Plus the reader's wanted to see more of her."

"But...how...it...how exactly are you going to bring it back? It melted in acid! Therefore it is destroyed beyond repair!"

The author gave a sly grin. "I have my ways. Now let's start cleaning this mess up and preserve the body."

So many surprises she had in store for everyone that no one would ever guess what will happen next.
