Red Hood Halloween Special Part 3 of 3

Halloween 2 PJL

 

 

————————————————————————————————

 

 

Scarlet pulled up her glove to complete her costume as Jason stepped into the room using his hand to cover where she stood.

 

 

“You finished getting ready?” He asked. Smirking, Scarlet answered,

 

 

“Yes, I am.” Jason dropped his hand to see her costume and nodded while saying,

 

 

“Well, you look…” He searched for a word to say that wouldn’t directly give away his new affection for her before settling on, “…accurate.”

 

 

“Accurate?” Scarlet said with a laugh as she adjusted her boots and exited the room with Jason.

 

 

“Yeah, accurate. I mean, I never saw or read Watchmen but from the posters online…”

 

 

“You look great.” Scarlet said, cutting off Jason’s stuttering as she examined his Nite Owl costume.

 

 

“This old thing?” Jason asked, looking up and down his suit, “Found part of it in a trash can. It’s not the best or accurate but, you know.” As they spoke, John and Landon approached in their costumes causing Scarlet to burst into laughter.

 

 

“I couldn’t find that weird black thong Manhattan wears so this had to do.” John said as Jason raised his eyebrows while mouthing the word ‘bulge’ to Landon. The latter nodded before saying,

 

 

“I don’t think my voice is raspy enough for Rorschach.” Jason shrugged before asking,

 

 

“So…should we get this show on the road?” The group nodded as they all exited their hideout and joined a crowd of various boys and girls in different costumes.

 

 

“What is it with people dressing as supervillains?” Scarlet asked as they passed two children dressed as Sinestro and Captain Cold, “Doesn’t that put their egos into hyperdrive?”

 

 

“They’re a product as long as they’re out of the spotlight I guess,” Jason answered before stepping towards the first apartment and saying, “Trick or treat.” A man in a skeleton mask handed the group candy before Jason turned to Landon to ask, “How’s it going with the Sionis lead?”

 

 

“Alright,” Landon said as he made a ‘so-so’ gesture with his hand, “He’s just hired some kids called the Skull twins. Hear they’ll be pulling off a series of major heist in the next few months.”

 

 

“Any word on his connection with you-know-who?” Realizing Jason was referencing the Joker caused Landon’s heart to skip a beat in remembering exactly what the man meant to him.

 

 

“None. But Sionis is definitely hiding something. Something he knows about the clown.” Jason smiled,

 

 

“At least we have that.” All of a sudden, a figure leapt out from behind a row of bushes nearby, yelling,

 

 

“Boo!” Scarlet screamed, as she was the closest to the figure, prompting Jason to quickly retrieve his pistol and aim it at the new person’s head. It turned out they were just a kid in a costume, who immediately began to cry and run away as Jason lowered his weapon. In the rush of everything that had just happened, he had not noticed that his other hand had ended up wrapped in Scarlet’s, whose body was now pressed to his. Noticing this as well, she moved away slightly, but left her hand in Jason’s as John and Landon both whistled in between bouts of laughter. Jason and Scarlet continued to walk ahead of the group to the next apartment before the latter moved the former’s arm around her shoulder, bringing them close together again as they said,

 

 

“Happy Halloween Scarlet.”

 

 

“Happy Halloween Jason.”

Sorry that took much longer than I had anticipated (as I wrapped the first part of the special yesterday my friends showed up at my house and we ended up out and about until about midnight so it took until now to upload the last two parts). That being said, this will be the last Red Hood released for a little while (at least until Chris' Batman and my Robin catch up) because all of our stories need to be at the same time as this new arc starts for fear of spoilers. In the meantime, the last issue in the first volume of my Robin reboot will end tomorrow most likely and the second issue (which will lead directly into the end of the year event) will begin some time this week. I hope you enjoyed this and had a Happy and spoopy Halloween, but either way thanks for reading!
