Nightshift 39: M51-60 Hallway

...was that Landel snoring? No matter. Miles clicked on his flashlight - or thought he was. The batteries seemed dead. He cursed to himself, swapping in a fresh set. There. That would be enough light to use for changing into his suit, which he did quickly

Jason cocked his head as the intercom came to life, listening to the head doctor... snore apparently. He'd heard him gloating over the system last night, before he presumably was knocked out and dragged back to his room. He'd been expecting to hear something similar, since it was obvious he got some sick pleasure watching them fight to get out of here but apparently the fucker was napping on them. Jason was almost insulted, but it had to be a good thing that they weren't being watched tonight. Except that there had to be cameras and they'd still be working so it made no fucking difference. All it did was piss him off and he sure as hell had plenty of anger to work out without any extra.

Stalking over to his bed, Jason fished the flashlight out from under the pillow, testing it to make sure it was still working properly. Glancing over at his roommate he waited to see what Luke intended to do now that his little psychic conversation was over.

Shaking himself out of the distracted haze the conversation with Asch had left him in, Luke folded up his diary and left it on the bed. Apparently night had fallen while they were talking, and it was time to get moving.

"You can meet him yourself, if you want." Not that Asch was ever very good company. Well, maybe he could be. It wasn't as if he didn't have special reason to hate Luke. Anyway, he wouldn't object to Asch making a friend or anything. "He looks like me." Plus, Luke really didn't want his roommate thinking he was insane. Though he was pretty sure that had just been a joke. Probably. For some reason it was a little hard to tell with Jason, and he guessed having a conversation with someone in his head did look a little crazy

Made sense for Luke and this Asch to look alike if one was supposed to be a copy of the other. And god, wasn't that a funny thought? It wasn't like he was a carbon-copy of Dick but Jason looked enough like the first Robin - and his replacement enough like him - it was hard to pass off as a coincidence. Maybe the next time he saw Luke he'd ask about the whole 'replica' thing. Not that he was looking for someone to spill his guts to or to play counsellor for anyone else but it was worth investigating. Any scrap of information could be useful and all of that crap

"You too," Luke replied quietly to his roommate as the other headed out into the dark hall way.

It wasn't as if he couldn't do this alone, but Luke was used to working in a group, and with the way even Guy had warned him of how dangerous this place, Luke must have a 'death wish' for doing this alone.

But Jason had been out there already, and didn't seem to hesitate to head out there alone now, and Jason might be a little reckless, but Luke wouldn't guess he had a death wish. So it couldn't be that big a deal. Anyway, there was only one to find out, and he didn't want to keep Anise waiting. Sighing he pushed out the door himself, making sure as it closed behind him that it didn't lock itself again, then he looked around.

There wasn't much to see, though. Certainly no monsters within his very small range of vision. He didn't hear anything, either. Things definitely felt a little more sinister, but that could just be his own nerves
