Arsenal rapping
Jason Todd singing
Jason looked at Arsenal, "You're doing the rap parts!"
"What? I don't rap!"
"Don't care. It starts with one…"
Roy's eyes looked panicked as he tried to follow the rapping, "One thing I don't know why, it doesn't even matter how hard you try. Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme to explain in due time."
Though the rapping wasn't the best from Arsenal, the other heroes still cheered and clapped along to the beat for him. "All I know…"
Roy smiled as the crowd got more into it, "Time is a valuable thing, watch it fly by as the pendulum swings, watch it count down to the end of the day the clock ticks life away."
The corners of Jason's mouth began to turn up in a smile at the excitement of the crowd, "It's so unreal…"
"Didn't look out below, watch the time go right out the window. Trying to hold on but didn't even know, I wasted it all just to watch you go. I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart. What it meant to be will eventually be a memory of a time when…"
Jason stepped out in front of Arsenal, who looked at him like he was crazy for suddenly wanting the spotlight, "I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it doesn't even matter. I had to fall to lose it all, but in the end it doesn't even matter!"
The crowd cheered despite the couple of sour notes hit, it is only karaoke after all. Nightwing rolled his eyes at the fact that they both knew the song perfectly and it even seemed as though they had practiced it before.
Arsenal stepped back up beside Jason, grin plastered on his face, "One thing I don't know why, it doesn't even matter how hard you try. Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme to explain in due time. In spite of the way you were mocking me, acting like I was part of your property. Remembering all the times you fought with me, I'm surprised it got so far. Things aren't the way they were before. You wouldn't even recognize me anymore, not that you knew me back then, but it all comes back to me in the end."
Arsenal sang the pre-chorus and was once again shoved out of the way by the attention seeking missile that was Jason Todd, "I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it doesn't even matter! I had to fall to lose it all, but in the end it doesn't even matter!" The music slowed and Jason looked towards Batman dramatically, "I've put my trust in you, pushed as far as I can go. For all this, there's only one thing you should know," he got down on his knees and bowed his head, belting out the next lines, "I've put my trust in you, pushed as far as I can go. For all this, there's only one thing you should know!" He belted out the final chorus, dropping his mic on the floor dramatically and smirking at the applause that followed. Arsenal shook his head as he dragged Jason off stage and back to their seats.
Green Arrow and Batman glanced at each other, the lyrics their ex-sidekicks had sung hitting a little too close to home for comfort. Nightwing took to the stage again as the cheers started to die down, "That was quite the performance. Unexpected. Great job guys. Since the list was forgotten long ago, who wants to go next?"
"I'll go," everyone muttered in shock as the usually serious Con-El stood up to take the stage.
"Alright, let's give it up for Superboy!" Nightwing smiled as the teenager walked on stage and the other heroes cheered, Tim, Bart, and Superman cheering the loudest.
