Mediator

This is the third short in Diamond Man's Untitled Series. Enjoy!

Short
Owen is sitting at a desk with 3 buttons on them, and in the other corner of the room, Sarth and Icease are in two tubes, with wires attached to them.

Owen: I hope they're not mad.

Icease: Of course I'm mad, you put us in here against our will!

Owen: But this is the only thing that'll work!

Sarth: I'm positive we can resolve our differences without shock therapy!

Owen pushes a button and Icease and Sarth are shocked.

Owen: Now dad, it's not polite to talk to the mediator like that. I'm here to help!

Icease: You can't help, we just can't get along!

Sarth: How could I with a total jerk?

Icease: You're the jerk here!

They both growl at each other. Owen presses the button 3 times, shocking them that many times. They then stop.

Owen: There we go. Now, Dad. Tell me why you hate Icease.

Sarth: He used to be a villain, and he almost killed me multiple times.

Owen: I see. And Icease, why do you hate dad?

Icease: He's very unlikable. Why would I not hate him?

Sarth: Why you-

Owen presses a button, shocking them.

Owen: Icease, we are not here to antagonize each other. Even if you ARE right.

Icease snickers.

Owem: Ok, now.....Has there ever been a situation where you two worked together?

Sarth and Icease: No.

Owen: Ok......How about talking like friends would?

Sarth and Icease: No.

Owen: Oooookkkkk....Have you two EVER had any friendly interaction?

Sarth and Icease: No.

Owen sighs.

Owen: Ok, so.

Owen stands up.

Owen: So I have come to this conclusion.

Sarth and Iceas: What? What?

Owen: It's totally hopeless. There's nothing more I can do.

He walks upstairs.

Sarth: Owen! You forgot to let us out of these tubes!

Icease: Owen come back!

The episode ends as they call for Owen.
