Chapter 7~ Bad Guy

"You know your eyes light up a bit when you use your powers." Jason said still holding my hand while we walk down a dark alleyway.

"Yeah? You've been staring or something?" I asked smiling.

"Or something." He says back with a smirk. Then he stops walking and turns to face me, his face not to far from mine. "You're very beautiful Y/n and so is what you can do."

"Beauty's in the eye of the beholder don't you think? I know what I can do can lead to bad things happening and I wouldn't exactly consider them pretty Jason."

"We can't focus on our pasts and forget the future." He says and brings my hand to his lips and kisses it. "I hope with me in your future you'll learn to trust me and your powers more."

"Jason are you okay? You're acting different..." I say cautiously.

"Yeah I know I just—I want you to trust me."

"All of a sudden?"

"Well not really....just remember this when we get inside." And he points to a door behind me which I didn't realize was there until now.

"Okay..." I say confused and Jason goes ahead and opens the door. Once I step inside I immediately smell beer and cigars and I lose sight of Jason. "What the hell?" I ask. First he talks about trust and futures then he dips out of no where? I walk farther into the club and sit down at the bar.

"What do you want?" He asks not even bothering to ask my age.

"Shirley temple please. Extra cherries." I said and smile wide. He rolls his eyes and goes to make the drink. Then I start hearing yelling. I get my finished drink and head farther into the club then I immediately started to smell blood. And low in behold in the middle of the whole building was this huge ring and who do I find next to it talking to someone? Jason. "Where the hell did you go?" I said walking up to him.

"Well I went to put you up for a fight." He said.

"What the fuck dude?! Why would you do that?!" I said and lightly smacked him on his head. Well deserved might I add.

"Hey, look you needed a breather so I got you one. Whoever you're gonna fight is some lowlife criminal anyways this place is full of them. You could use some letting off steam."

"Yeah but not in a god damn ring!"

"Hey! I said to trust me right? You'll love this I promise. Plus...with the cash I earn betting on you we can go do something even more fun."

"Oh fuck no. YOU BET ON ME?" I yelled at him but over the noise no one heard.

"Maybeeee I did but good news is that means I know you'll win."

"I swear to god Jason I'm going to kill you myself if I get my ass handed to me." I say to him and then the people fighting in the ring stepped out.

"How about this? When you win and admit you liked it I get to take you out with the money we win."

"Was that not always the plan??" I say annoyed.

"Well...yeah. But if you lose I'll tell Bruce I don't need to train you for the rest of the week."

"There's no way he'd believe you, you know that right?" I say and I kind of smile because Jason seems hopeful this will help me and at least it's a semi good gesture.

"Yeah I know but, I think you'll really like this. Just trust me. I'd never put you in harms way." He says and the guy Jason was talking to before waved at us.
