Jason singing
Nightwing singing
Batman groaned, knowing the worst was yet to come if it was Jason and Dick singing. Jason grinned and whispered something in Nightwing's ear, who laughed and clicked on a new song. The familiar beat began as they slowly and dramatically turned to face Batman. The room froze as they listened to the music and waited for his reaction to the song.
Jason brought the microphone up to his lips and stared into Batman's eyes, "Pressure! Pushing down on me, pressing down on you," he pointed to Robin briefly, "No man ask for!"
Nightwing cut in here quickly and sang with him, "Under pressure!"
"That burns a building down, splits a family in two. Puts people on streets."
As Jason stared down the Bat, Nightwing sang, "Um ba ba be, um ba ba be, de day da, ee day da, that's okay!"
Jason tapped his foot to the beat, "It's the terror of knowing what this world is about, watching some good friends screaming, 'Let me out!'"
"Pray tomorrow gets me higher."
"Pressure on people, people on streets," Jason and Nightwing stared directly at Batman, who was currently looking everywhere else to avoid them and Robin's piercing gazes, and glaring at anyone else who dared glance his way.
Nightwing danced a little to the music, "Da da da ba ba, okay! Chipping around, kick my brains around the floor. These are the days it never rains but it pours!" Nightwing couldn't quite hit the high notes, but it didn't stop him from trying. The whole room winced as his voice cracked at the highest point it could go. Nightwing laughed with the room, not even embarrassed.
Jason could barely quit laughing to jump in and sing his part with Nightwing, "People on streets!"
"Ee da de da de!"
"People on streets!"
"Ee da de da de da de da!"
Jason ran over to the table that the original Leaguers were sitting at and jumped on the table, sitting cross-legged in front of Batman, "It's the terror of knowing what this world is about, watching some good friends screaming…"
"'Let me out!'" Batman leaned as far away from Jason as he could and looked blankly into the corner of the room.
Nightwing slowly stalked over to Robin and put his hand on the teen's shoulder, "Pray tomorrow gets me higher, higher, high!"
"Pressure on people, people on streets."
"Turned away from it all like a blind man. Sat on a fence, but it don't work,"
Jason jumped off the table and slowly walked back to the stage, "Keep coming up with love, but it's so slashed and torn!"
"Why, why, why?"
Nightwing and Jason jumped back on the stage together, "Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking," Jason stared at Batman, reminding him of the stint he tried to keep Jason under lockdown in Arkham. Batman just grumbled and buried himself deeper into his cape while the other Leaguers watched the performance intently.
"Can't we give ourselves one more chance? Why can't we give love that one more chance?" Nightwing walked over to Starfire and laid across the table in front of her, "Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love…"
Jason sat down on the stage as though he had given up trying to get Batman's attention, "Because love's such an old fashioned word, and love dares you to care for the people on the…"
"People on streets…"
"Edge of the night, and love…"
"People on streets…"
"Dares you to change our way of…"
"Caring about ourselves. This is our last dance, this is our last dance. This is ourselves…"
"Under pressure."
"Under pressure."
"Pressure!" The music died out and the room roared with cheers.
Nightwing grinned broadly and wrapped his arm around Jason's shoulders, dragging them both down in a deep bow. Jason walked back to his seat as the crowd died down. Nightwing stood on the stage and waited for the room to go silent before he spoke, "Ok everyone, I think it's time," he looked around at all the Titans in the room, who all grinned knowingly while the others looked on confused, "Time for a little segment of the night I like to call…"
