Chapter 14
Jason's POV
I groaned as I opened my eyes. What happened? Where am I? Why are my hands tied behind my back? What- Tim!
My vision soon cleared as Tim came into focus. He was tied to a support beam and gagged. I could see that blood had soaked through his hoodie on his side. The kid looked like Hell as he slowly raised his head. His eyes met mine and pleaded for me run and leave him behind.
"Tim!" I yelled as I pushed myself onto my knees so I could reach my knife. "Hold on! I'm-"
"Your knife isn't there, Jason. You're not getting out of this alive." The cold voice stated as my old Robin costume was thrown in front of me.
"Let him go. I win." I growled as the head bastard stepped out of the shadows and appeared beside Tim.
"No, Jason. You lost. You were two minutes late and you allowed the youngest child to kill two of my men… I allowed the child and the Gypsy to live, but the boy belongs to me now. I can do whatever I desire to him." The mask replied as he cupped Tim's cheek.
"Take your fucking hands off of him!" I ordered as he dropped his hand and advanced in my direction.
"Didn't I remind you to watch that mouth of yours?" he stated before dragging a knife across my cheek. "Hmm, he bleeds… How did you survive your death?"
"I don't know."
"Liar! Tell me now!" he ordered pushing the blade against my throat.
"Go fuck yourself."
He slowly withdrew his knife as he laughed. "You've never changed, Jason. Never."
"That makes two of us. Now, let Tim go. You got what you wanted."
"Jason, tell your innocent little brother why he's here. Tell him what you did. Tell him why he has to suffer." He commanded as his blade traveled down the tattoo on my arm, making the eye sockets bleed.
"When I came back from the dead, I was alone. I didn't have anyone I could trust. I was on the streets again and that's when I found-"
"That's when you found us, Jason. I allowed you to join us! I made you my second in command! I protected you. I gave you everything! And you killed me for it!"
"No! I shot you because of what you did to that kid! You raped and strangled a seven year old! I walked in on you with blood all over your lips and teeth and a dead body! Damn right I shot you! You were out of control, Alec!"
The mask throws his head back and laughs as he kneels down. "Alec is dead. You did kill him. You killed the original master of the skulls. In fact, you killed all of them." he whispers into my ear before standing back up and moving over to Tim.
"When your big brother over there came back to life, he annihilated a little gang that called themselves The Crimson Skulls. Anyway, it was small. It had about five members. They all had tattoos and masks. They were led by your brother's old best friend. They crossed paths with the Red Hood one day. Bad thing is, Jason caught them gang raping this kid. Kid was already dead, not that it mattered. So, Jason killed them, all of them… All except one." He stated as he tucked a loose strand of hair behind Tim's ear. "I crossed paths with the dying leader and he told me everything I needed to know about Jason. But, the most important thing I learned was that Jason was alive. He survived."
"What the fuck are you talking about!" I demanded to know as he turned to face me.
"Come now, you surely had to have noticed that the tattoo on your arm is new… No? Well, I'll see if I can clear things up for you." He stated as he removed his mask.
No.
