CHAPTER 127

With an audible yawn, I slowly opened my eyes, stretching my body as I sat up on my collapsible, pushing the covers to the side. Reminiscing about the happenings of the previous night, remembering I had technically kidnapped Red Hood. 

I put down the sound nullifying field around me and noticed how quiet the house actually was, which was surprising at the moment. Upon opening the door to my room, I could not help but burst into a mocking series of laughter the moment I saw the look on his face and with his mouth covered with duct tape. He must have been too loud for Leo who hated unnecessary inconvenience, considering how Jason was, it must have been the only way to shut him up without having to kill him or knock him out. 

"Good you are up." I walked closer to the bed and looked at the watch on my left wrist as I continued. "I guess it's about time to harvest your organs." I said with a mischievous smile as I watched his face slowly turn pale. "The organs of Boy Wonder would fetch good cash from the black market." I continued with a subtle lick of my lips, his eyes widened  and he suddenly started struggling to free himself. 'This kid must really see me as a monster if he believed that crap.' I thought to myself before letting out a short but loud laughter. 

"You should see your face right now, I didn't know you would be scared to die the second time. As someone who has also been there before, I know it isn't a fun trip." I said with a low tone as I aggressively ripped off the duct tape on his mouth. "Ouch, that hurts you bastard." He remarked as he made motions with his mouth to ease the pain since his hands were restricted. 

"Back then when I was Robin, I always knew something was off about you. Now I know you are just one sick bastard with a few screws loose."

"Awwn, don't say that." I teased the brat some more. "It wasn't a compliment you psycho. Now let me out of here."

Walking towards the side of the bed. "I guess it's only logical to speak over breakfast. After all, a hungry man is an angry man they say." I said as I uncuffed him. 

"Finally, I am out of here." Jason said out loud before getting up and threw a flip to get off the bed. He suddenly hung midair like he was stuck, like a very skilled mime being held in the air by unnoticeable wires. 

"Not so fast, Jase. You can't get out until I say u can, got that?" Jason turned his head over to me and saw my hand already stretched out, I had used telekinesis on him. 

"You and your annoying powers." He scuffed. "Alright, alright, I got it. Now let go of me already ." He replied. "Well, if you say so." I remarked as I  abruptly dropped him on the floor. 

"I won't leave now anyway, not until I get some answers at least." He gave me the stink eye, then headed out of the room. "Hey Snart, guess who's no longer cuffed to the bed. Why don't you get out here already, I've been itching to kick your ass since you shot me with your cold gun and still went ahead to duct tape me." Jason yelled out, walking through the house in search of Leo's room. 

Leo stepped out of the guest room with a book in hand and his cold gun in the other. "Hey kid, try to keep it down. I'm trying to read over here." Jason turned to look at him. "There you are." He said as he dashed towards him. I stood behind, watching as they were about clashing with one another. 

Leo aimed his gun at Jason who suddenly took a dive into a roll as he dodged the frost ray from Leo's gun. The blast hit a wall as the frost stretched out across it, and it made me realize that they wouldn't stop until one person was down and as a result would trash the entire place. 

Jason was right in front of Leo with his fist already clutched, while Leo had his finger on the trigger of his gun. I immediately dashed towards them, amplifying the force beneath my feet as I accelerated between both of them. Instantly I grabbed both by the neck and slammed them against the wall behind. 

"If you want to kill yourselves, fine. But not in my house." My pupil emitted a deep red glow as I spoke, at the same time I lifted them off the floor, gliding them against the wall as I slowly flew and my feet left the ground while I took intensed glances at both. 

Their eyes widened at the sudden occurrence, I had struck fear into their hearts. Turning to Jason I said. "Let's talk over breakfast,I would answer some of the questions I know you are dying to ask me. Then you would be offered a preposition, after that you can leave if you want to, I don't give a fuck either way."

Then I turned to Leo. "Keep your cool bro, I know he ticks you the wrong way but he'll eventually grow on you. So till then, just chill. Got that?" I directed that question to both of them but the response I got wasn't what I had expected. 

"You're choking us." They both struggled to say as their faces were slowly turning pale. "Oh, my bad." I said before dropping them on their feet, they leaned to their knees and tried to catch their breaths.

"Okay fine, now can you get started on breakfast already?" Leo remarked as he picked up his book and left for the living room. 

"Jason?" I asked, looking at the hot headed teenager. "Yeah I got it, you didn't have to go all beast mode on us." He said as he massaged his neck. "What's for breakfast anyway?" Jason asked. 

"I'm too lazy to make anything, so we'll just have cereal. They are over at the top shelves." Reaching for my phone, I walked past him and screwed down to Rae's line. Oh, that's just how I abbreviated Rachel's name. Rachel, Raven, Rae, they all have the exact same prefixes.

Staying home with Leo and Jason would be a major pain in the ass, I think I would just leave them be so they find their own way to bond instead of me getting between their fights. 

That was something I didn't want to have to deal with today. [Hey Rae, let's go see a movie later this evening. If you aren't occupied with whatever you heroes do, tonight would be perfect for a movie date. What do you say?] I texted her, hoping she didn't have any major things to do today. If she did, I would just fly off to some vacation villa to spend my day. Then come back home in hopes of my place still being in one piece as they adjust to each other. Or Jason would just go back to his place for peace to reign. 

"Master Tom, your presence is needed." Gwen's voice reached out to me, I instantly knew what she meant. Ghost must have received an email or maybe a request from the Architect of which needed my actual attention. 

Upon entering my room, I locked the door and logged in to my private computer which only I could unlock. I made a program which required me just placing my hand on the computer, closing my eyes and connecting to it for a few seconds as I bypassed my security and entered through a back door only I could locate.  

One fact about my powers that I kept shrugging off, was that the advanced brain I had attained made me more like a supercomputer but I tend to avoid that aspect as it might make life dull in some sense. I was kind of like Cyborg but smarter and without the robotic parts, if I had relied on it and not appreciated the little mundane things humans enjoy, maybe I would have become more like that guy known as Brainiac or Ultron from Marvel. 

As I scrolled through the notifications, I came across an assassination request from a mob boss which was one of my underlyings. The Gilzean crime family had stolen something from him but he didn't want it back, he wanted all of them dead. 

It was no biggie, I'll have DeathShot on it. 

*Beep*

The screen of my phone lit up, I reached for it and it was a reply from Rae. [A movie date sounds great to me but there's one problem. Can I bring a friend along? I initially had plans with her tonight in Gotham, it would be a great opportunity to drag her ass out of the house and so she could do better at enjoying the social life of a normal teenager. Rather than chasing criminals all the time. If it's okay with you, then I am game for tonight.] The text ended. 

A friend? Tonight was supposed to be just me and her, why the third wheel? And from the text, I could easily tell her friend is another hero. Well, so long as she doesn't interfere with my date I am fine with it. 

[I wanted it to be just the both of us. But it's okay, let's meet over there by 7pm]

With that, I resumed my previous task and came across a few requests through the Architect. They seemed like they were requests sent in by heroes because it was to save lives in a dangerous scenario. "I guess not only villains nor normies, but even the heroes want a taste of me."
