JayDick : How It All Began

Change

panting fills the cave

Pull them out! A dark brooding voice demands.
But they are....
PULL THEM OUT Dinah!
Bruce calm down, they'll be okay.
Dinah, I specifically said, if I we were gonna put them through this training simulation, that you can allow anything to happen. Except one thing.
Bruce, I know your frustrated with me, but you know that they have to be ready for anything.
Dinah, there is a reason I said no to the idea of allowing a computer simulation Joker to be put in this simulation.
He's not real they'll be fine.
He may not be real, he may not be physically in front of them, but you along with everyone else underestimates him. You don't understand even in a simulation, his laugh alone can leave mental scars, scars that leave you ruined, leave you defenseless, broken.
Bruce.... I know he's taken from you, the things you love, but they have to be prepared.
Dinah... You don't get it, there is no preperation for him, you can't understand his methods unless you are him, and I am not losing anymore because of him, not anymore of my own!
I'm.... I'm sorry Bruce. You're right, I don't understand him. That's why these kids need to. Because just like in the simulation, when we fail, they're earth's last defense.
Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep
Pull them out now!
Okay!
Beep....Beep....Beep....Beep
They'll be up in a minute.
Not anymore of my own Dinah!
A soft voice breaks in to their conversation
Bruce, what do you mean anymore of your own? We're all fine! Where were we?
Dick, you were in a training simulation, you and Jason were the two people I believed would be best to try it out on. And it's being dissasmbled, I can't risk that.
Risk what?
If you die in that world, you die in ours.
And you put Jason and I first?
You knew how to survive!
But he didn't, he could've been hurt Bruce!
But he wasn't!
That's not the point! If he were to die, it would be your fault, and Selina would see it that way too! If your going to risk someone's life... Inform them! And can you tell me what the hell you mean lose anymore of your own?
Dick... While you were in there.... Barbara was shot.
She's not?
No, but paralyzed.
Tim's taking care of her right?
They broke up?
Babs? Who was it?
....
Bruce?
I can't tell you that.
Stop treating me like a child dammit! This... This is why I left!
Jason starts to wake up
What happenend?
Bruce put us through a simulation, that could've killed us and now Babs has been shot.
She'll be okay Dick. If she's anything like you, she'll be fine.
Good. Glad you feel that way, because we're going to visit her!
But she barely knows me?
She risked things just so we could meet? She needs us.
Okay.
Flashback~ 2 hours before Barbara gets shot

"Okay Tim, you can do this! Barbara is one of your bestfriends, she'll understand when you tell her that you like guys right?"

Hey Tim! What you need to talk about?
Barbara, I feel so bad doing this because you mean so much to me, but when I started dating you, it was because, I was too scared to hurt you. But I realize now, that if I wait too long it would paralyze you later.
Tim spit it out!
Fine, I'm... I'm .... I'm
Gay?
How did you?
Because Dick went through this same thing with me, it's fine I'm here for you.
No hard feelings?
Of course not Timmy! Huh? Guess I'm the gay maker?
She laughs to herself, and walks to her apartment, to a night which she thought would be like any other night, but tonight was the day her life would change... Forever

Ding- Dong

Arty, is that you again?

She opens the door, to a figure in hawaiin apparel covered by a jungle discorvers hat, he looks up

CANDYGRAM!

He takes his shot, the Joker had made a killer entrance.

Tell Batsy, I don't respect him bringing children into this crazy little game of ours!

He laughs then pulls out his camera to capture the moment

Ahh... Well this is my favorite part od the trip, though the sights seem to be a little... Dead! Ahahhahahahah

He slams the door shut behind him

Normal Time: Elliot Memorial Hospital

Babs? Are you okay?
Dick? Is that you?
Yeah, who did this?
Joker, Dick don't do something you'll regret!
I won't, but I can't make any promises that I won't make him regret something he did!
Who's with you?
Jason.
Did you two finally ever... You know?
Not yet. We kissed though.
Not even the first date? You work fast Birdbrat!

They laugh

Dick... Promise me... You'll not blame yourself?
I'm not. But I feel like you just have had the worst month of your life, and it all started with me.

Barbara laughs

Yeah, but I would rather see my ass-kicking bestfriend be with the perso, he loves.

Dick looks at Jason

Speaking of Babs, why did you and Tim?

He's gay.
Damn, two in a month?

They laugh slightly together once again

Maybe, I'll take a break from dating for a while?

We do everything together.
Oh Dick, If you say that you would wait for me to start dating again to chase Jason, I'll magically gain my ability to walk again and kick your ass! He wants you want him! So Dick you will not wait for me! You go out there, put on a show that he'll take you in and comfort you! And get yourself what you deserve!
What's that excactly?
Happiness! Tell Jason I wan't to talk to him... Alone.
Okay, Miss Oracle.
Oracle... I like it.

Jason walks in

Hey Barb! You feeling better? I'm sorry I don't know what else to say? I'm new to this!

She shakes her head annoyed

Jason.
Yes?
Ask him out now or I will pull this cord to kill myself!
Is right now?
Yes, before it's too late, you both need this, and I know he'll accept it!
Are you sure?
Yes! You love him! And that's what he needs! It's not like I can walk over to him to give him a hug anymore, now can I?
Barbs you got some killer jokes!

She laughs at his sass

Jason you got 5 minutes or me dying is gonna be your fault!

Yes ma'am!

A smile spreads across her face, and Jason walks out of the room

Hey Dick! I've been meaning to talk to you about something.
Yeah Jay?
Do you wanna go out on a date with me?
God Jason you knows he's gonna say no
Yes! I would love to!
Dick kisses Jason from joy
What was that for?
It was the real one.
