Robins POV

I grimaced as he took out a knife and cut a thin line on my right cheek.

"No!" Zatanna sobbed. I closed my eyes tightly, not wanting to hear the obvious pain in her voice. "Robin, please" she begged.

I winced this time. Her voice sounded so…hurt. Pain, fear, abandonment, it sounded loud and clear in her tone. And what made it worse, was that I knew it was all because of me.

I saw Joker turn his head as if something or someone was speaking to him. He smiled at the direction of the unknown guest.

"I didn't mean to leave you out of the fun." His gaze turned back towards me, that same, sadistic grin on his face. "I just got excited"

My eyes narrowed as I realized he wasn't the only person in here that took my death as an opportunity to see a good show.

From the shadows I saw Harley slowly come out, a smirk on her face.

"Hi Robby, long time no see" she grinned.

She came up to me, nuzzling my neck as she placed a hand on my chest.

"I've missed you" she cooed.

I grimaced. "The feeling is not mutual" I hissed.

She moaned. "Cold as always" she batted her eyelashes flirtatiously. "Just the way I like it"

I scowled at her. "Get the hell away from me" I said dangerously. Each word was precise and distinct.

"Why?" she asked innocently. "Don't you like having me around?"

I grimaced. "Go to hell" I growled inside my head.

Joker laughed, throwing his head back again. He placed a hand on Harleys shoulder, guiding her away from me.

"Apparently Bird Boy already had his heart stolen by somebody else." He mocked.

"Who?"she hissed. I didn't know if she was actually angered or upset or if it was just all a ploy.

"You snooze, you lose Harley" he mocked, laughing at her.

She looked like she was ready to murder him.

"I have business here, if you dont mind" He said it in this obviously bored tone.

I almost sighed in relief when she left for the door without turning back.

He turned back to me. "You have an affinity for attracting people who want to kill you, Boy Wonder"

I smirked, mocking him. "Im just that good, I cant help it."

I could have sworn I saw him grimace for a moment, but that same, self satisfying smile was back just as soon. He took a button from his inner pocket and smirked at me.

"Not good" I thought in my head.

"Im sure having fun, sharing my new toys with you." He pressed the button.

My eyes widened as bolts of electricity coursed through my body. I screamed.

I heard Zatanna scream. "Robin!" I heard her sob. "Stop..Stop!..please!" she begged.

I saw him smirk. He stopped pressing it.

I went limp, my vision dimming. I tasted the metalic taste of blood in my mouth.

"Did that hurt?" he mocked. I spat out blood.

I smiled a little. "Like I said, do your worst"

I saw him actually grimace this time. The expression almost looked scary on his face. I saw him press it again before I closed my eyes tightly, waiting for the impact. My fists balled up as I felt the shock.

I bit down on my tounge to prevent myself from screaming. This probrably hurt Zee and the others more than it did me.

"Robin!" Artemis yelled. "No!" That was Wally's voice I realized.

I cursed inside my head. I had been biting down so hard, blood was filling up in my mouth.

"Stay awake...stay awake...stay awake" I chanted inside my head. I was having a hard time just keeping myself concious.

It was weird, the pain was felt strangely like a numbing feeling.

Numb. That was the perfect word. I felt completely numb. Emotionless, painless. I felt nothing.

"I cant..." I gave up. I was grateful that this was nothing like the pain of losing her, in a way, it was better.

I sank into a black oblivion.
