̶N̶o̶t̶ Made For You

The Shiftiest of Deals

Like I said on my conversations tab, it was my birthday yesterday. I really wanted to write and upload this yesterday but I was also working and very tired and sore by the end of the day 😅 Anyway, enjoy the chap! It was still fun to write this morning and I'm excited to move forward with it!

Jackie and Mia both stared at Anti as if . . . well he was already crazy but this was even weirder.

The hero scoffed at him, "Really? You honestly expect me to believe that?"

Anti chuckled, still holding his hands out in surrender, "Why not? Stranger things have happened"

'Something weird is going on here' Mia thought to herself, 'I don't necessarily know him but I know enough about him to say he's not the kind to just turn himself in.'

Mia stepped forward a bit coming up behind Jackie, "Why, though? What's your play?"

Anti snickered, "Why does there have to be one?" he looked away, though as if watching for something, "I'm just giving you all what you want. I'm tired of this pitiful game"

"Hah!" Jackie outright laughed, "That's hilarious. And why should we trust you?"

The glitch smirked, "Because that's what Seany-boy wants . . . isn't it?"

Jackie frowned but motioned for the police to lower their weapons, not they'd do anything against the ego.

Mia was surprised, "Wait . . you're not actually thinking about it, are you!?"

He glanced back at Mia but he DID look unsure, "I don't know. . . . He's right, though. As much as I hate to admit it"

Mia, apparently being the sane one marched up to Jackie and pulled at his arm, "We should at least call Sean first about it. AND the others." she glanced over to Anti who just looked bored now and she squinted at him, "I don't trust him. He's hurt you all, hasn't he?"

"Yeah . . . you're right." Jackie agreed, "You go cuff him and I'll make the calls"

"Uh-uh, slick" she pushed him, "YOU go cuff him!"

Jackie made a face, "But . . . why me?"

"Why ME?! You're the strong one, here, not me!"

Jackie hated to admit it but she had a point and groaned, "Fine . . . ugh, he's so creepy, though"

Anti just raised a brow at them, "Are you two gonna take my surrender or what? I don't have all fucking day, here"

Jackie huffed, "What's YOUR hurry?"

Mia took out her phone and dialed Sean's number while she shoved Jackie forward towards the glitch, "Get to it"

Cautiously, the hero went up to Anti and carefully took out a special set of cuffs Marvin had spelled for this very occasion. Anti just smiled at him, making it weirder.

"Don't smile at me. It's creepy."

"Why not?" he wiggled his eyebrows and glanced back at Mia with just as creepy of a smile, "She calling him? You know he'll say yes"

"Don't smile at her, either, you weirdo. And yes, she's calling Sean. Why are you surrendering to us? Got some extravagant plan for killing us all in one place or something, because it won't work"

"Nah"

Jackie finished cuffing him and felt marginally more confident, "Nah? The fuck you mean, 'NAH'?! It's what you've wanted since you broke out of the incubator!"
