A/N: I was going to never again write fanfiction after the whole "oops I didn't realize it had been six months since my last chapter" in the Criminal Minds archive, but nope I am going to write this and try to update a lot more often then I updated Criminal Minds okay.
Disclaimer: If I owned Young Justice or Jason Todd or... I don't know any DC characters really, Jason and Damian would definitely be in Young Justice. Also, it wouldn't be canceled and Damian would be alive and well like he is in the imaginary universe in my head... So that's a no, I do not own any of this... except the plot I guess...
Also, I would like to thank my beta and the most wonderful person in this universe (no seriously she is amazing and nice and kind and a wonderful author okay) batman-defeats-all
"Now Robin dear," The Joker snickered, "do really think you should be doing that?"
Jason had tried to drag himself away when the Joker went to wipe the blood off his shirt.
"Joker," Sheila spoke up raising her left eyebrow, "give the kid a break."
"Oh c'mon," The Joker snapped his fingers and the two thugs grabbed Sheila and made her look at her son, "you know you wanna watch."
"Fine," she retorted, "you can get your goons off me, I promise I'll watch you beat this brat to a pulp."
Joker thought for a second and snapped his fingers for his goons to back off. After that conversation was over they looked to see Robin had managed to get half way to the door.
"Birdie boy," the Joker said in a sickeningly sweet voice after walking the short distance to Jason, "you're only making things worse for yourself."
He grabbed the boy by his leg and dragged him back to the middle of the room.
"hahahaHAHAHAHAHAhahahaHA," the Joker laughed as he beat the already bruised boy.
"Mom," Jason begged, "please mom."
"He can still manage to talk," Sheila murmured, "wow, I thought you would have knocked that out of him by now."
"Oh, I can fix that," the Joker slammed the crowbar on Robin in between each word, "with a collapsed lung."
He put his foot on the boy and hit him with the crowbar again. Robin screamed but was suddenly cut off. The Joker had succeeded.
Jason looked up at his mother as the Joker brought the crowbar down on him again and again and again.
"Get the kid to stop looking at me," she ordered the Joker. The kid staring at her made her feel uneasy. His eyes bore into her soul and ate away at her conscience. But she refused to feel guilty. I'm not the one beating him with the crowbar, she thought, it's the Jokers fault, not mine.
The Joker kicked Jason flipping him onto his stomach.
"You know, kiddo," the Joker stated, "it's rude to stare."
He hit Jason in the abdominal. Then his thighs. Then his chest. The Joker brought the crowbar down on Jason's body a million times, but the boy would not look away from his mother. Getting frustrated the Joker slammed the crowbar on Jason's face.
"That should fix it," the Joker cackled evilly.
He hit his face several times when suddenly he stopped.
"It seems we have visitors," the Joker said when hearing a car screech, "give him too me."
One of the thugs lifted up Jason and handed him over to the Joker. The Joker held the boy tight -causing Jason's face to contort even more- and brought a gun to his head.
The Team stopped in front of the warehouse the tires of their motorcycles screeching. Everyone jumped off their vehicles and ran to the door, Wally going around the other way.
They opened the door to see the Joker holding a gun to Jason's head. The only way Jason was standing up was because of the Joker's tight grip on his neck. Jason looked half dead and, judging from his injuries, he probably was.
"Joker, don't do this," Dick started negotiating.
"Can't you see we were in the middle of a conversation." Joker drawled.
The Joker lifted up the boys chin and brought his mouth to Jason's ear. The team watched intently as he whispered something in his ear. They could see Jason's eyes widen in fear. Conner and Megan look to each other knowing what was said. It was not something they were looking forward to telling the team.
"Joker," Nightwing demanded, "let go of Robin."
"If you say so," he threw Jason on floor and a very loud bang was heard. Before any could approach the boy, the Joker had put the gun back on Jason's head. If they really thought about it, they would probably say they don't even remember the gun coming off his head.
"Oh, that looked like it hurt," the Joker laughed.
"Joker don't make me hurt you," Nightwing warned menacingly.
"hahahaHAHAHAHAHAHA"
The Joker stood up and put his foot on Jason, still pointing a gun at his head.
"HAHAHAHAHAhahahahaha"
He put pressure on the foot that was on Jason. Jason's face contorted further in pain.
"Aaaagg," Jason cried out. The Team looked at him sadly and Nightwing looked like he was going to jump the Joker.
"Stop this Joker," Nightwing demanded fiercly.
"hahahhahahahahahahahaHA"
When out of no where his gun was taken from his hand.
"Wha-" the Joker was stumped.
Suddenly his smile turned into a frown when he saw Kid Flash holding his gun.
"Now that wasn't nice," the Joker angrily kicked Jason, flipping him over, when Nightwing tackled him.
Aqualad, Artemis, and Superboy took out of the goons and Sheila, while Kid Flash and Miss Martian cared for Robin. Being the only person who had ever encountered the Joker before, Nightwing knew it would be his job to get the Joker, and he would have to leave his little brother in the hands of his Team.
Nightwing soon made his way to where the team was waiting for Superboy to stop letting anger out on the building. The building that had Robins blood all over the floor.
"Oh, the little team is worried for their little Robin," the Joker whispered to Nightwing, "if you ask me you were much better. You would have never fallen for that."
"What?" Nightwing asked confused.
"I got his mother to lure him here, ha, she watched the whole thing!" he laughed.
"You," Nightwing punched the Joker straight in the nose.
Dick had found out that Sheila was Jason's biological mother from Batman while on his way to the warehouse. He knew that Jason had gone in after his mother. But, he didn't expect that his mother was in on it or that she'd be okay with seeing her own son beaten to death. He thought that maybe Jason would have a protected. He thought wrong.
Jason had been searching for approval from Bruce, Dick and the Team ever since he first moved into the manor and became Robin. Dick predicted he would have trouble realizing that everyone here loved him. Now, he knew Jason would feel they would never accept him. With his own mother watching him get beat to death, Dick doubted Jason would ever get over it.
He couldn't control his emotions knowing this. Knowing that his little brother was in pain. Knowing he could have done something, anything to stop this from happening. He felt his body shaking, his fist curling up into a ball. Dick knew he wouldn't e able to keep his anger inside any longer. The only way he could get it out was by punching the psychopath who had done this to his brother.
"hahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahh ahaHA!"
A few seconds later, Superboy walked out of the warehouse angrily. Nightwing gagged the Joker, and everyone drove off scowling.
Jason looked as if he were going to drop dead any second. The Team decieded to let Wally carry him to the nearest hospital and they would meet there later. Wally held Jason tightly against his chest bridal style. Jason tried to stay awake but found it harder and harder with each drop of blood, soon enough he was sleeping. Wally just tried to ignore the blood that stained his suit.
A/N: So that was chapter one I hope you enjoyed it! Please Review!
