"Hold it, none of you are going anywhere yet." Jack cut in, earning a collective groan from the look-allies gathered in front of him.

"Then what's the point of being out in the real world?" Chase spoke up with a frown.

"If you all manage to not blow up the house while I'm gone on my date with Signe, then I'll consider letting you all go out adventuring." Jack replied in an uncharacteristically serious tone, his expression stern as he glanced between the egos.

"Explains zhe suit." Schneep mused aloud.

"Can do Jack!" Jackaboy-Man exclaimed enthusiastically, earning a light smile from the Irish gamer.

"There's that PMA I know you all have! Signe and I will be back in a couple of hours, just...don't do anything I would do." Jack finishes hastily as Signe walked down the hall wearing a nice dress.

"Ready?" Signe asked as she extended an arm towards Jack.

"Born ready." Jack smiled back, linking arms with her before the couple left the house.

The seven egos stood in silence for a moment as they stared at the spot Signe and Jack were just standing in, none of them sure what to do with their newfound freedom.

"So...what can we do here?" Chase finally spoke up.

Jameson shrugged in response, his expression thoughtful.

"Robbie sleep." The zombie decided, going into the living room and falling asleep on the couch.

"Aww, I can't use my powers." Jackaboy-Man whined as he tried to fly to no avail.

"Same here." Marvin added, his magic ineffective.

"Me too." Anti grumbled darkly before storming into the kitchen, returning with a deadly kitchen knife.

"Woah woah woah, what are you doing with that?!" Chase yelped in surprise as he backed away from the demon.

"I'm bored, I wanna kill some fuckers." Anti stated simply as he moved towards the door.

"Anti, we can't leave." Marvin reminded Anti with an exasperated sigh.

"Watch me bitch." Anti taunted as he strode towards the door, raising the knife as he swung it open.

Jackaboy-Man shoved Anti away and slammed the door shut, kicking Anti hard in the face so the demon would release the weapon.

Marvin quickly picked up the knife while Jackaboy-Man grabbed Anti by the collar of his shirt and lifted him up high in the air so he couldn't touch the ground.

Anti grimaced in pain as he gently placed a hand over the dark bruise beginning to form on his cheek, his lip split and dripping blood down his chin.

"I'm not letting you ruin our chances of freedom. Not now, not ever." Jackaboy-Man told Anti in a dangerously calm tone before releasing his grip on Anti's shirt.

Schneep stepped in between the pair and examined Anti's wound, taking the demon to the bathroom so he could bandage him up.

Jameson's eyes betrayed his fear and surprise as he quickly retreated from the room, avoiding making eye contact with Jackaboy-Man.

Jackaboy-Man muttered something under his breath as he strode towards Jack's recording room, locking himself inside.

Marvin and Chase exchanged glances before the pair sat at the couch with Robbie, the zombie snuggling closer to them as they flipped on the tv.

"Ow!" Anti hissed sharply, wincing as Schneep gently cleaned the cut on Anti's lower lip.

"I know it hurts, just please hold still vhile I vork." Schneep directed Anti as he stepped back to admire his handiwork.

"If I had my powers..." Anti trailed off, leaving the empty threat hanging in the air as he pressed the ice pack to the bruise on his cheek.

"I'll try talking to him, although I've never seen him so angry before." Schneep remarked as he left the bathroom.

"Jackaboy-Man?" Schneep called out as he rapped his knuckles on the door.

There was no response.

Schneep tried knocking again, louder than before.

Schneep retreated back a step when Jackaboy-Man swung the door open, the hero seeming less angry than before much to the German doctor's relief.

"Is he okay? I-I just didn't want anything to screw up our chances at freedom." Jackaboy-Man stammered out.

"He has a nasty bruise on his cheek and a cut on his lip, but he should be fine." Schneep assured him.

"Where is he? I want to apologize and try to make things right since we'll be stuck in the house together for who knows how long." The hero explained.

"He's in the-"

Schneep broke off when he turned around to see that Anti was no longer in the bathroom, the demon having disappeared.

"Zhis motherfucker!" Schneep snapped angrily as he stormed into the living room, the front door left ajar.

"Marvin, Chase, did either of you see Anti leave?" Jackaboy-Man questioned the two.

"No, we were just watching tv and watching Robbie." Marvin replied as he jumped off of the couch with Chase.

"Um guys, we have a problem." Chase spoke up, pointing out the window.

Jack and Signe were walking towards the house, the couple about to arrive at any moment.
