Well here we are again, another filler chapter, nothin much. Read on.
"Im not kidding Cy, you dont let me go and i'll dismember you and your car." Jake yelled at the top of his lungs, he had been at this for the last half hour, apparently when he didn't immediately wake up with Raven, everyone left the room. None even considered undoing his restraints, and so here he lay, tied to a bed, yelling at a security camera at 3:30 in the morning.
Jake proceeded to try his restraints for weaknesses again, a few kicks of the feet and failed movements of the hands quickly eliminated that as a course of action for the third time. "One prison for another. Should have stared down that fucking turret." He muttered to himself.
As boredom set in one can only find so much to with arms and legs bound. Jake settled for drumming his fingers on the bedrailing. After wo minutes of keeping time with the electronic beat of his heart rate monitor his eyes widened in realization, and he slammed his head into the pillow. The only reason his palm wasn't repeatedly slamming into his forehead was a two inch belt. "Thats it, I'm officially a fuckin dumbass." He located the plastic device on his middle finger and none too gently ripped it from its resting place.
The monotone electronic beep was accompanied with the door being thrown open and Cyborg charging through. "JAKE? Whats going on?" A confused Cyborg asked.
"Oh nothing, just that you guys left me here all alone, TIED TO A FUCKING BED!" He yelled while trying to move his arms for emphasis.
After suppressing a laugh Cyborg, walked over and undid the clasps on his ankles, "Oh, thats my bad" he spoke.
After Jake was released, under the condition that he cause no bodily harm to Cyborg for this incident, he checked the time and saw that it was 3:42. "Damn, I was out for a long while." He said motioning to the clock.
"Yeah, well getting blown to hell will do that to you" Cy said shutting down the equipment that was hooked up to Jake.
"Well doc, though this has been fun I'ma get the hell out of here, See you tomorrow." He said standing up and walking toward the door.
Cyborg stepped between Jake and the door, "Just a sec, Raven wouldn't tell but I know something went down while you were out. Care to fill me in?"
"Wish I could say." He said leaning back on the bed. "All I know for shure is that Blood still as a link to me, its not strong enough for him to possess me, yet."
"Mabey Rae could help you out, strengthen your mental resistance nd all that."
Jake got back on his feet and started toward the door again, "Mabey, I'm not shure what good it'll do as of now though."
"Alright, just promise to bring it up with someone." Cy called out.
"Will do" Came the shout from down the hall. Now he was free he decided food was in his best intrest, and set off to the common room. Jake tried to use his down time to think but for all his effort he just couldn't steer his thoughts away from Blood. All his training all the help in the world couldn't help him now. He slumped against the wall and put his head in the palm of his hand. He chuckled grimly with a dark grin on his face, "Ah fuck me." He said aloud. After sitting around for a while he picked himself up, no use in just sitting on his ass all day. Continuing where he left off on his journey and proceeded to the common room.
When he arrived at the room he found it was already occupied, Robin and Raven stood in front of the tv unaware of Jake's presence. "Your don't have the authority to make that call." Raven spoke in a heated tone.
"I'm the leader of this team, I have the authority to cut anyone I want." Robin said in an equally agitated voice.
"Your the leader only because you appointed yourself there and none of us objected. Now you will not just throw him back there, not while he can still be helped."
Robin threw his hands in the air in frustration "Fine, you get one chance, just one. The first time Blood take's control, he's back in prison." Robin said storming off, almost knocking over Jake on his way out.
Raven turned to the new arrival, "Sorry you had to hear that. He's normally not such an ass, but..."
"But I am a timebomb waiting to kill off the team. He's right you know, it'd be better for everyone it I just went back to my cell." Jake said in a depressing tone.
Raven marched over and slapped Jake across his face with almost enough force to rearrange his teeth. "Do not speak like that!" She yelled. "I won't stand aside and watch you just give up and throw your life away.
Jake brought his hand to his face to make shure his jaw was not broken. "Can't you see Raven, there's nothing that can or ever could have been done. I can't fight myself and expect to win. It was a lost cause from the start." That said he turned and walked to the door.
Raven's hand shot out and captured his arm. "Damn it Jake listen to me!" She said turning him to face her, "Your not a lost cause, not yet. If you let me help we can fight him."
His face held no emotion and his eyes held even less, "How?" He asked voice just as devoid of emotion.
"I can open a link from my mind to yours, much like Blood has." She looked away for a second before looking him in the eyes, "It's not something to be taken lightly, you will be permanently bonded to me and my demonic counterpart, but its your only chance short of killing Blood."
For a second he showed no response, then he looked away. "I'm sorry but if he can get to me then he could reach you through me. I can't let that happen."
Their moment was interrupted by a blaring siren and every other teammate charging into the room. Raven looked away toward the screen, in doing so she missed the pained look on Jake's face as he looked back up.
"Looks like Control Freak is holding up another electronic store." Cyborg spoke from the computer.
"Aw man, didn't we just lock him up last week." Beastboy complained.
"Titans, move out." Robin ordered, despite ignoring Beastboy the best he could he found himself thinking the exact same thing.
