Yay! Thanks for all the reviews guys! You don't know how much each one means to me ;)
When the place was finally starting to look halfway decent again, Jason dropped the broom he was using to clean the last shards of glass from a lamp that had shattered in their recent original take on WWE.
"Ok, that's all I'm doing." He turned to go to the door, and opened it, but his exodus was cut short by the slavemaster.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Jason stopped and sighed heavily. Oh, that Moses would appear and perform a miracle to set him free from this cruel situation….Death of the firstborn would work just fine…
"You don't seriously expect me to actually stay here after what you did do you? The bet is OFF, I'm outta here." Without another word, he slammed the door and was gone. But Dick just stood there smiling. After a long moment, the door was opened again, and there stood a very annoyed Jason. He took a deep breath.
"Where's my key?.." He asked in a dangerous tone.
Dick continued smiling, he had swiped Jason's key to his place when he wasn't looking.
"You'll get your key back…when you've carried out the loser's side of the bet."
Jason glared. "Forget it. I'll just break a window.." He turned to leave again.
"Aren't your windows like practically unbreakable cause your like obsessive compulsive?" Dick stopped him.
"…I'll spend the night outside then!" Jason countered angrily.
"And then what?...You still won't have a key in the morning…."
Jason turned on him again. "I'll ask one more time. Where. Is. My. Key?...
"I'll show you…When the night's through."
Jason knew he wasn't going to get anywhere with a stubborn Dick. When Dick decided on something, he stuck to it with his life, and nothing could change his mind. Jason could kill him...But that wouldn't change the fact that he still wouldn't have his key.
Exasperated and defeated, Jason let out a sigh.
"Fine…" His voice was barely above a whisper.
"I'm sorry…what?" Dick pretended not to hear.
"Fine." He said louder.
"Fine what?..."
"I'LL STAY OK?!" Jason shouted, and slammed the door shut.
Dick let out a squeal and ran over and hugged his brother.
"See? You DO love me!"
"Dick, you are SUCH A GIRL!" Jason screamed at his brother angrily trying to get away.
"And you're such a big baby!" Dick squeezed him tighter.
"Dick, if you do not let go of me this instant, then so help me, I will-"
"What?" Dick interrupted.
"send an army of mutant carrots after me?"
"DROP THE CARROT ALREADY!" Jason finally managed to pull himself free from Dick, with his added boost of rage from the comment.
"I don't have any…" Dick held out both his empty hands smiling.
Jason was about to blow a fuse right there and then, when suddenly the forgotten cell started to vibrate in his pocket, causing him to jump.
"Wow…you jumped from a phone vibrating? Maybe all your enemies should just have a cell phone handy, and have it vibrate when your least expecting it…"
Jason shot him a death glare, and pulled the phone out.
From Tim: Hey Dick, Joker just escaped from Arkham…Again. And he's in Bludhaven. But Bruce is away on a business trip, and he can't really get out of it right now, so he's wondering if you'll take this?
Jason started typing 'No problem'. And sent it. He went for the door again.
"We're outta here."
"Where are we going?..." Dick inquired.
"The replacement just sent you a job. Joker."
"But we're supposed to be taking today off.." Dick pouted.
"I can't stand being in this place any longer. If you want to live to see sunrise, I suggest you get out there now." Jason warned, opening the door.
"Fine, but on one condition… you have to promise no killing…
"…Fine." Jason agreed after a long pause.
Dick thought he agreed too easily to that…suddenly he caught on to Jason's game.
"And no guns…"
Long pause. Jason finally looked him seriously in the eye.
"…You drive a hard bargain….Deal."
"Good…by the way, any chance I can have my phone back?"
"As soon as you give me my keys back…"
Thus ends chapter 3! Thanks again for all the reviews!
