A/N So, not much to add just telling you that the italics are the mental conversations. Enjoy!
MY DARLING BETA: The Silver Pen Of Fate
Chapter 2 - Kidnapping
'Hello, kiddies!' he said in a happy tone
'Uncle J. has come to visit!'
'Oh, Mista' J! You forgot me!'
A sickly sweet voice had joined Joker's entrance speech:
'Harley Quinn likes parties too!' a young woman stepped out of the shadows. She was wearing a domino suit, only thing was it wasn't black and white, it was red and black. She was also wearing a mask, similar to Robins. Joker grinned.
'Oh Harley baby, I'll never forget you!' he said and they joined hands, though one of Joker's hand was still pressing the blade of the knife to Wally's neck.
Robin had already pulled out two of his red and silver discs; Artemis was loading on double arrows on her bow. Robin had tensed up, anger blazing through his sunglasses. Artemis was gritting her teeth,
'Let. Kid. Flash. Go.' She said, pushing the words through her teeth, 'No one but me gets to threaten him like that.'
Robin shot her a look; it was one of those not-a-good-time-to-joke ones. Then he turned back to Joker,
'What do you want, Joker?' He said coldly. Joker was not fazed a bit by it. In fact he tutted at Robin,
'Oh dear Robbie poo, no manners at all to the guest.'
Robin grew even angrier,
'You're not a guest in here.'
Joker grinned,
'Well, it's double the fun to be a party-pooper!' He grinned at Harley,
'Harley babe! Let's blow the roof off the mountain.' Harley's smile strained even more,
'Course' Mista' J!' but then a thought came across to her, 'but wouldn't we get hit?'
Joker frowned,
'Oh dear, I missed that point,' then he started thinking.
Robin clenched his fist, he threw his first disc, Joker used a second knife to block it, the disc bounced off and hit one of the many walls. It exploded. The entire group, not counting Joker and anyone around him, was blown backwards by the force of the explosion. Joker smiled,
'No, exploding things don't mix well with small spaces.' Harley suddenly smiled a genuine smile,
'Oh, Mista' J, can't we kidnap them? It'll be even more fun!'
Then Kaldur, Superboy and Miss Martian arrived, Kaldur visibly tensed, Superboy let out a growl and Miss Martian gasped and clutched tighter to Superboy.
Kaldur decided to try and find out what the situation was; he stepped slowly towards Robin and Artemis.
When he reached their sides he quietly whispered a question that was meant for both of them,
'What is Joker doing here?'
Robin threw a quick glance at Aqualad, before returning his gaze at Wally, who during the time had paled considerably, both in fear and not much oxygen supply. Then Robin decided to reply, since it seemed that Artemis was too scared to even try answer, in fear of that she would anger Joker, and angering Joker while he had Wally with him wasn't a good idea.
'Joker had come to explode the mountain, but he was stopped by his partner,' Robin gestured slightly to Harley Quinn, who was waving at them, ' Dr. Harleen Quinzel, former psychologist for Arkham, mostly known as Harley Quinn.'
Kaldur's brown eyebrows furrowed,
'But, what made Joker stop?' Aqualad said, 'I don't think Joker is the type of person to change from their plan that quickly.' He added
Robin snorted slightly,
'Well exploding the mountain is no good if you are in it and Joker has multiple personalities, he changes from his plans all the time, believe me.'
Aqualad nodded.
'Children.' It was Joker and he didn't exactly look happy 'It's rude to whisper behind someone's back you know." Robin looked up and glared at him, even though his glare was dampened by his sunglasses, the entire team still felt the wrath of the glare. Joker did nothing to acknowledge that he was being glared at.
'Well, now, now children,' chided Joker, 'it's time to be kidnapped!'
And him and his partner started laughing manically, Joker was still holding on to Wally though and if possible, pressing even harder on Wally's neck. A small cut was opened by Joker's blade. Beads of red blood started rolling down.
While Joker and Harley had been busy laughing, Aqualad had quietly whispered to M'gann that they needed a link, that included Wally. Miss Martian, who was a shade lighter than she normally was, nodded and quickly set up a link.
Everyone on? Asked Aqualad.
Yes (Robin)
Same here (Artemis)
Y-yes (Kid Flash)
Here (Superboy)
Yes (Miss Martian)
Good, said Aqualad, Maybe we should make a run for it, head for the Zeta Beam Tubes? Considering that Joker is distracted?
No, was Robin's immediate reply, They have Wally and I don't think that those two will be handing him over anytime soon. He's the bargaining chip.
Then Wally had suddenly butted in.
Uh you guys, I'm on the link too!
We know that, Baywatch!
Yeah well, you lot seem to be talking about me as if I'm not there. And can't you save me? Joker is not such a hard target. I mean, Rob, can't you just make some guns drop down from the ceiling or something?
Robin mentally snorted.
Ironically, I was working on it for cave security, but you were distracting and annoying, so I only got three quarters of the proper code done.
Wally went quiet, but Artemis cut through the silence:
So, what now?
Miss Martian then decided to put in an idea.
I could phase through the floor! I have been practicing with Uncle J'ohn, but I can only bring along one person. I can't tak –
'So! Children, get ready!' cackled Joker 'Fire in the hole!'
Joker pushed Kid Flash to the team, then chucked a few Joker bombs at them. When the bombs hit the ground it started releasing green gas. It soon filled the room, but Harley and Joker were un-affected by it since they had both put on gas masks. When the gas started coming out Robin had urgently passed a mental thought around the link,
Is that Joker Venom! Everyone! Gas masks!
Robin had then put on his own, before he suddenly realized that no one replied in the link. He turned his head to see his teammates already down and unconscious.
Miss M? Aqualad? KF? Supey? Arty? Oh no.
A crazy laugh jerked Robin out of his thoughts,
'Oh Robbie, smart boy, but not smart enough.'
Joker and his tricks.
Robin whirled around completely in time to see a pale white hand grabbing his gas mask and replacing it with a too sweet handkerchief. Robin instantly recognized the smell: Chloroform.
This is disastrous.
Robin struggled against the effect of the gas; he fought against it for a good minute before finally submitting to the sweet smell.
Heavy on the 'dis'
And he blacked out.
A/N Well what do you think? It that a cliffy again? Or was that boring? Well anyways, next chapter is the start of some Robin torture (MWAHAHAHA! XD), just to tell you.
Reviews would be nice, though optional, it would be kind to tell me what I have been doing wrong.
