Red Alert

Chapter 1

Jason hated this! He absolutely hated this! He had been in the middle of a drug bust up and of course Bats had to show up and finish the party. Jason was cross as Batman chose to take him to Arkham himself. It was true that Batman and Gordon had a good standing relationship, but of course Bats wouldn't trust anyone to lock Jay up other then himself and maybe "Officer" Grayson.

So, here they were at Arkham. Jason's red helmet and mask had been removed as well as all of his weapons and gear. Batman had been very careful in his search and found every one of Jay's hidden weapons and put them in lock up at the prison. It wasn't as if Jason couldn't get out of the prison, he'd done it many times before, it was just inconvenient.

He sighed when Batman insisted on going with him through the whole check in process to make sure he really didn't run. As if Jason would run right now, there would be no fun in that, no show. He would escape when no one was looking, not right now when everyone was looking. Contrary to Batman's beliefs, he never harmed the innocent people, only the bad guys. But Batman had made up his mind about his "lost" son.

They had gotten through check in and Jason had changed into his prison uniform and Batman was escorting Jason to his cell. "Jason, I know you don't believe me, but this is for the best. I am doing this for you. I don't want you to be like all the other criminals, I raised you better then that."

Jason's eyes flashed with anger, "Of course you raised me better then that! You raised me to die for trying to protect my family!" It was a low blow and Jason knew it, but he didn't care.

Hurt flashed across Bruce's eyes, but then he was Batman again. Stern and unfeeling, escorting a prisoner to his cell. And that was when it had happened. Without warning the red alert went off, signaling that there was a prison break out in the process and prisoners had managed to break out of their cells. Here in Arkham that was a very bad thing!

"Batman give me a weapon so I can help you fight! You have no chance in here alone," Jason argued quickly.

"No Red Hood, you are going into your cell and I am going to help the guards break this up," Batman argued steering Jason to his cell.

Out of the corner of his eye, Jason saw the ambush coming, "Batman look out!"

Jason moved quickly and shoved a shocked Batman out of the way just as a foot collided with Jason's ribs, knocking him down. He grunted but before he could react, he was stabbed in the side just as Batman had been slammed in the gut with a foot and it knocked him backwards into a cell. Their assailants grabbed Jason and held the knife to his throat as they looked at Batman.

"Alright Bats, hand over the belt and any other hidden toys or the Hood gets it," the guy holding Jason hissed. Jason growled but could not move because of where the knife was placed.

Jason knew the guy holding him, he was known on the streets as "The Surgeon" because of his doctor abilities. He'd once been a doctor but when his career had been ruined, he chose this life of crime. He was best known for his torture techniques on his victims, inflicting damage without causing too much, keeping them alive but making them wish they were dead. Currently his knife was poised over a major artery and Jason knew that he would die a very slow and painful death if it was sliced just right, and knowing who was holding him, he knew it would be sliced just right.

Batman growled but slowly removed his belt. The Surgeon was smarter then that and knew Batman had other hidden weapons on him. He looked at the five other men who were with them. "Search him, he's got to have more hidden weapons then just the belt."

Jason cursed, he knew that Batman did indeed have other hidden weapons and he knew that this was not going to play out well for him, the leverage. Batman got in a fighting position to defend himself, but a hiss of pain from Jason where the knife was digging in and Batman slowed and held his hands up in defeat. After being searched, the goons found four knives hidden in various places, a couple of batarangs, a few lock picks and a few extra "goodies" hidden. Surgeon smiled as Batman scowled. He nodded and the goons took Batman's boots, gloves, and top off as well, just in case they had missed something, but they were kind enough to leave his mask on. Jason figured that would come off eventually, a lot of guys here had it out for Batman, but they would play with him first.

"It seems you are unable to follow even the simplest of instructions Batman, that's too bad. It seems that your son will have to pay the price for your defiance," Surgeon replied with a smirk as the men locked Batman in his new cell.

"Leave Red Hood alone! Your grudge is against me, so take it out on me," Batman growled and Jason just rolled his eyes, that was giving these men what they wanted, a weakness, though Jason didn't know why it mattered, it wasn't as if Batman cared about Jason, he had long since given that up.

"Ah, but you see, Hood has quite a few enemies in here. You were a fool to lock him up in here, what with how many people want him dead. Did you not stop to think that all the guys you "save" from his wrath either end up here or at Blackgate? Sure on a normal day he is able to protect himself, but this isn't normal. You made sure he had no weapons, and he hasn't escaped yet, so he's pretty screwed. And since you didn't follow instructions very well, I think it only fair to let the boy have ten minutes alone with the Joker…"

The color in Jason's face drained and Batman growled. He grabbed the bars of his cell door and yelled, but his protests were ignored as Jason was dragged away. Jason tried to hide the fear in his face, but he could do nothing about the fast pounding of his heart, which he knew Surgeon could feel because of where his hand were placed. Jason knew that no matter what he would put up a fight, there was no way he would face the clown without fighting.

However, as his grand plans of defense were being formed, Surgeon's own plans had formed. He squeezed a muscle on Jason, and Jason's eyes widened. That particular muscle made his whole body go limp and he was paralyzed, at least for the moment. He tried to control his breathing as they came close to Joker's cell and Jason saw the crowbar in Joker's hand. There was, however, one other thing Jason noticed, the guards were all taken down, at least the guards that were dumb enough to stay in this place, and they were all in very real danger.

He could see Scarecrow dosing some of the guards with his fear toxin, and Ivy was controlling some with her mind smoke. Jason hated that his inner "bat-family" instincts kicked in, but he couldn't help it.

"W…Wait…" Jason said quickly and Surgeon smirked. "I…I wanna make a deal with you…"

"There's nothing you have that I want," Surgeon stated crossly.

"There's something I have that you all want, I know all of Batman's weaknesses. I know how to cause him the most pain…I also know that you all plan to escape eventually and I know all the escape routes, even the ones the cops don't know about…" Jason said talking fast.

"And you want us to what, let you live," Surgeon asked amused.

"No…I'm not stupid enough to believe that you would let me live, even if we did make a deal…" Jason sighed, hating this so much. He knew that this would not end well for him, but he also knew at least five of the guards that were still held captive here had families at home that they cared about, Jason had heard them talking about it through the vents when he had escaped one time. He couldn't let them be tortured and killed on his watch. He may be a bad ass, but he wasn't a murder, and he didn't let these scumbags kill when he was around, and that included in here.

"What is it you want," Surgeon asked mildly intrigued.

"Let these guards go. You don't need them as captives as long as you have Batman, the hero of Gotham, and you have me to keep Batman in line…You don't need the guards…" Jason was still talking fast, but he kept his voice even, calm.

"I don't know, lotta these guys in here hate the boys in blue, why should we just let them go?"

"Because as much as they hate the guards, most of them hate me or Batman more," Jason argued.

"And you're proposing to sacrifice yourself for them? The guards that would have kept you locked up in here," Surgeon asked mildly amused.

"Well think about it logically Surgeon, most of these guys hate me or Bats more then anything. It's obvious you have the upper hand over both of us, and I know all of the ways to hurt Batman…So, why keep guards who know nothing about us when you have a wellspring of information right here…"

Surgeon paused and looked at all the prisoners who had gathered in the rec area. "What do you say boys? Would you be willing to let the boys in blue go to keep Hood here where we cam do whatever we want to him without him fighting?"

One of the men who was holding a guard shoved the guard over to his partner and walked up to Jason, running his finger over Jason's face. Jason knew the man all too well, he was a pimp and drug lord on Crime Alley. Jason had killed his brother just last week before Batman had intervened and saved this cock sucking rapist. Jason kept his gaze study and didn't flinch away from the man.

"Well, well, if it isn't the famous Red Hood. You know you killed my brother last week…I've been aching to pay you back for that, but death was too easy for you…" his eyes narrowed at Jason's. "If we let these boys in blue go, you're saying you will do everything we tell you to?"

Jason frowned at the man, "You have my word, you let the guards go, I'll cooperate…"

"I believe I'd like to see a demonstration," the man smirked and Jason's eyes narrowed.

"What the hell do you want," he growled.

"Suck my cock, then you'd be no better then those of us you call 'cock suckers,' or don't you remember that," the man smirked and Jason growled. "However, if you don't want to, we can always have our fun with the guards." He slowly started his way back over to the guard they had been holding and Jason's eyes narrowed even more. The poor guard was a newbie, he had only worked here a month, had only just started the last time Jason had escaped. He couldn't be more then twenty-two.

"FINE," Jason growled, "I'll do what you ask, but leave the guards alone!"

Jason was pissed and it was clear on his face. Surgeon released his hold on Jason and Jason fell forward, still not having use of his limbs. It was true he still had use of his mouth, but from the neck down he was useless. It didn't really help him in this situation because if these guys decided to keep the guards anyways, there would be nothing he could do. He could only hope that in agreeing to this, the other prisoners here would see it as a bargain and let all the guards go.

Maroni, the man who had made the demand, strutted up to Jason with a smirk. He undid his pants and looked down at Jason, waiting expectantly.

"Yeah, thanks to Surgeon, you're going to have to lift my head as I only have use of my facilities from the neck up," Jason said in a hate filled tone.

Maroni seemed to be loving Jason's helplessness and took his time in lifting Jason's head up to his crotch. "Now do your job and suck me good, suck until I cum so you're my new bitch. If you don't, then our deal is off." Jason's eyes narrowed again, but he would do it, if only to protect the new guard, who no doubt would have had this fate had Jason not stepped in.

Five minutes later Maroni jacked off in Jason's mouth and his lips were forces shut so he was forced to swallow every last drop. Jason had hated every minute of that, and how he had become a spectacle for all the prisoners there, but it had the desired effect, they all could tell that Jason would keep his word. They were all no doubt looking forward to making him their new bitch, but he could handle that, or at least he hoped he could. Maroni smirked and all the other prisoners smirked too as the guards were now safe. Jason was walked down the hall to where the bars were blocking the exit and Gordon and his men were waiting. The knife was replaced at Jason's neck as the guards of the prison were pushed forward.

"Count it on our good graces Commish that we let your men go…Or rather on Red Hood's sacrifice…Either way, the guards are free to go, but rest assured that we will not hesitate to kill Batman and Red Hood if you try to break in here…"

The commissioner looked like he would come in anyways, but Officer Grayson stepped in the way, whispering something to the commissioner. Gordon didn't look happy, but he nodded. The prisoners made their way back into the deeper parts of Arkham and the guards were able to escape, but Red Hood and Batman would not be so lucky.

"Alright Hood, you got your way, the guards were let free, but now it's time for you to visit your old friend Joker," Surgeon said with a smile.

"What," Jason asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry, did you think that little show of compliance would be enough to get you away from the Joker? Well I did tell Batman I was going to leave you with the Joker, didn't I? I would hate to disappoint him…" Surgeon shoved Jason over in the direction of Joker's cell and Harley Quinn grabbed him. He was forced into Joker's "crazy jacket", and with his arms securely behind him, the beatings with the crowbar started. Jason just closed his eyes and chose not to watch it all.
