Broken (Jason Todd x OC)

Dick spit sprays his water everywhere, while I see Jason look just as surprised, but he manages to not sputter food everywhere.

"Meet me in the gym once your ready. We can do once you have them pinned for five seconds. Unless you want to do tap out?" I manage to hide my state of shock and make plans to go through with this.

This is almost comical. The

I look towards Bruce and nod, waiting for his next move. He gets into a fighting stance and lunges at me, going for a jab at my stomach. I step out of the way in time and pull his arm, turning it and putting it behind his back. I  bring my knee up and go to push him to the ground, but he kicks his leg back aiming to trip me so he can pin me, but I move my leg to wrap around his before he can.

He lets out a low growl and forcefully pulls himself from me, making me stumble. Before I can recover he launches at me again and lands a solid punch across my face. 

I fall on my back and my head hits the mat. I lift my head, surprised with his actions, and stare at him. Dick looks horrified while Bruce looks like he is waiting for my next move. I debate letting loose and just attacking, but decide against it.

Instead, I jump up, wipe my face, and get into a fighting stance. With a smirk I pretend to go for a punch at his face, last minute changing course and slipping through his legs, grabbing his ankles and tripping him. As soon as he is falling I get back up and turn around, pretending to do a roundhouse kick, but instead, I punched his rib. He fell to the ground with a thud.

He looked more surprised that he did hurt.

I took a step back and smirked. He thought he could beat me.

Instead of waiting for him to come at me again, I lunged forward and faked a punch at his head getting him to block it. When he was focused on the punch I did a reverse scissor kick and brought him to the ground. Before he could get back up I flipped him over so he is laying on his stomach and pin him down, making sure to leave one of his hands open enough so he could tap out if he wanted. 

However instead of tapping out, he managed to throw me off of him, and in seconds get on top of me. Suddenly he punched me in the gut, making me jerk upwards and cry out. 

When my head fell back against the mat, he seemed to go wild. He started throwing punches at my face and neck. I heard yelling and suddenly Buce's pressure leaving me for a second, before he was back again this time grippping my throat.

I tried to push him off, but he kept me pinned down. I started gasping for air, and my vision started to blur. I knew I had to tap out or I would pass out. 

But do I really want to lose to him?

When Bruce noticed I wouldn't tap out he applied more force, making my eyes widen and my vision starts to get black.

Suddenly I hear Dick's yelling, and the pressure on my neck was off. I pushed my head back and gasped for air, taking in as much as I could. Suddenly I turned on my side and tried to get as much air in my lungs as possible.

I see Dick crouch in front of me and offer me a hand, which I gladly take. I see Jason is holding Bruce to the ground, saying something to him. Dick helps me stand up and leads me towards the door. Before we get out I hear Bruce talk from behind me. I turn and notice that Jason is nowhere to be seen, and Bruce is standing on his own.

"You need three main acts. Set up the preparations beforehand. Get everything done and set up." He has coldly and brushes past me out the door.

"I don't know what got into him, really. There have been some things going on and I guess maybe they all got to him... I'm sorry for his behavior." I don't know why Dick feels the need to apologize for Bruce, considering neither of them did anything wrong.

It was a tap out match, and I never tapped out. I made my choice not to tap out, it's not like he had restricted my hands so I couldn't, or like I had tapped out but he ignored it.

I didn't tap out.

"Listen," I start, my voice sounding gravelly and scratching my throat. "you don't need to blame him. This was a fair consented fight, and it's not like I died. I mean, if I died then we would have a problem" I try to joke at the end and show him there are no hard feelings, but I don't think it makes him feel any better.

"No, really. I know you didn't tap out but there could have been serious injuries, I mean you were about to pass out. I don't think he should've taken it that far over a performance." Dick starts to lead me back to my room, supporting me even though I can probably walk on my own.

I know he must want to support me or be there for me now. I mean, he just witnessed his long-lost little sister get beat up by his adoptive dad. Obviously, he is going to be a little weird now.

He leads me to my door and 'helps' me inside, by trying to support me to help me walk, even though my legs are fine.

"I will speak to him. I hope he won't scare you away and you will stay here for a while. Goodnight I guess." He gives me a small smile and is on his way down the hall, leaving me to myself once again.

I close the door with a sigh and head towards the bed, climbing the steps sluggishly. I collapse on it and pull the covers up to my chest and close my eyes softly.

Today has been such a weird day.

I am SOOO sorry this took so long to get up. 

I had written the chapter a few days ago or something and was going to edit it before I posted it, and I noticed I had completely forgotten to write Jason into it. I had Dick and Bruce but there was no Jason. He didn't play a big part in this chapter but I figured the book is about him soo...

Anyways thanks for being patient. I will hopefully write more soon.

Also, I'm doing an online course this summer and that is the main reason why I don't have a lot of time to write. (Although I think I will drop out of the course soon. Eek don't tell anyone.)
