A/N: For KKCopper~ Who asked for this and then fixed my counting at least...seven billion times.
Robin blinked rapidly as he sprinted past the three brightly colored henchmen. Each man wore flashing lights over their costumes that sent Robin's mind into a throbbing disaster zone. He groaned past the pain and took a deep breath. He forced his eyes closed as a strobe of light whited out his vision.
This isn't so bad, he reasoned, I've still got my four other senses.
Suddenly, the Joker sent out a shot that burst loudly in a resounding BANG. Robin's ears popped. He could only hear a static buzz. Okay, he thought, three senses is manageable too...
Robin cringed inwardly as he groped for leverage on the ladder. He climbed as quickly as he dared in his condition. He knew he was stressed beyond belief. He had to calm down and fast. Who knows what Joker could be doing right behind my back right now, out of sight and out of earshot?
Robin laughed to himself. If a Joker falls in a forest but no one is there to hear him fall, does he make a sound?
Robin wanted to roll his eyes at his own joke. Honestly, he was getting as bad as Joker. Hell, that's what Jack is probably doing right now, Robin realized. He's just making bad jokes which I, luckily, cannot hear...
Robin thought to himself as he climbed another step upward. Joker loves stupid puns...it's always 's' plus 'laughter' is slaughter this and orange you glad to see me that. He really needs a new gimmick...
Robin shifted his weight precariously as he pulled up to another step. Holy shit, he thought. I'm still climbing? How long have I been climbing?
Robin trusted his limbs to take him in the right direction. It's not like I have any other choice, he reasoned. He laughed as he reached the ledge at last and pulled himself to the top of the ladder.
Holy shit, Batman should have been here by now. I mean holy shit! There's like...only so much a guy can take...
Robin grouped around for some evidence of his surroundings.
Holy shit...Holy shit...Holy sh-what thing I am touching here, Batman? Batman! Where are you Batman? Why aren't you here, Batman? Holy unreasonable expectations, Batman! Holy unlucky odds, Batman! Holy death DYING stunts, Batman!
Robin choked on his bitter laughter. These hollies are kind of funny, even the pun-y ones; they certainly take the pressure off and help calm me down. I think I'll make them my schtick.
Yeah...that's a good idea. Holy new ideas, Batman! Holy sense deprivation, Batman! Holy chocolate starfish, Batman!
Robin laughed at his new game. Holy purple semiglosses, Batman! Holy Rice-A-Roni, Batman! Robin let the henchman he'd met at the top of the ladder lead him away. Holy kidnapping, Batman!
To him, his game was still funny. He kept laughing. In fact, he couldn't stop laughing even if he wanted to.
Holy involuntary chemical reaction, Batman!
