The babysitter

Forty-Four

"You ready to go? The demon's gonna get pissy if I don't bring you home soon." Jason got up and dusted his pants off. "I basically had to strap him to a chair to keep him home."

"Why didn't you let him come?" I asked.

"I figured you might need a break from his smothering." Jason rolled his eyes and offered me a hand. I took it and stumbled up.

"You look exhausted." Jason comments, making sure he had a tight grip on my shoulders as I dusted myself off.

"I wonder why." I roll my eyes and grumble.

Jason stared at me. "Alright." Jason grabbed my arm and slung me over his shoulder.

"What are you doing?"

"You look like your about to pass out. Good for you, I just have the drive you back to the closest zeta tube which is about thirty minutes away." Jason grabbed my backpack and started walking to his motorcycle.

"Why didn't you just park at the cabin?" I asked, not even trying to walk on my own.

"Because I didn't know which one was yours. Tim was actually asleep so I didn't ask him to look up your cabin number." Jason grumbled.

I felt a smile pull on my lips, "Aww, you actually care about him."

"I'm gonna drop you and leave you here."

"You wouldn't do that. If you came here just to make sure I was okay, I high doubt you would leave me here. You went through all the trouble." I smirked.

Jason didn't say anything and just kept walking to his bike. After we got there he got on and waited for me to get on. The last time I had been on a motorcycle was probably my first quest. It was weird to think about how much has changed. Although my thoughts got cut short as Jason pulled me on the bike behind him. "If you fall off I'm not going back and getting you."

"Whatever. Were you not listening to our last conversation?"

Jason rolled his eyes and put his helmet on my head before making sure I had a tight grip. Then he sped off, probably going over the speed limit. I wasn't going to lie, I kind of liked being so close to him. Although he was a little grumpy, he was still very fun to be around. It was probably the nerves of me leaving with no explanation. The ride was quiet as we made it back to the cave, not that I could have heard him if he was talking.

When he parked his bike, he slung me over his shoulder again. I rolled my eyes. "You know I can walk, right?"

"Please, you could barley stand up, Doll." Jason scoffed.

"Whatever, can we at least take a back way up? I'd rather not walk past Bruce like this." I pleaded.

"Sure." Jason shrugged lightly and took me up the back way, which put us in the game room.

Tim looked up, staring for a little bit, then looked back at up his phone. He obviously checked if I had any injuries. Tim finished up what he was doing and put his phone down. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm-"

"She will be once she takes a nap." Jason grumbled.

"I think you both need to take a nap, he's been extra grumpy since you left. Barley slept." Tim smirked.

"Shut up, replacement. No one asked you." Jason started walking out but I stopped him by grabbing onto the door frame.

"Look who's talking. When was the last time you slept? Either you take a nap now or I'm going to duct tape you to the bed until you pass out!"
