Sadistic Joy

Nightwing's POV

I come to slowly, my entire body burning in pain. I'm unable to hold in a small groan from the pain in my head.

"Yay you're awake we can finally have some fun!" I hear Joker's voice from my left. I turn to face him, opening my eyes all the while taking in my surroundings. Another warehouse, how cliche can one get?

"What do you want Joker?" I growl, my voice still weak from the laughing gas. I realize my hands are tied behind my back and all of my weapons were gone, including my gloves and boots, not that I expecting anything less.

"To have some fun Birdie Boy 1! I miss ya, the second one's not nearly as fun! Besides I'm sure you'd love to spend some time with you're good old Uncle J! Remember all the good times we've had?" he asks walking towards me with a crowbar. I remain silent. "Awwww fine be like that then Robby, I'll make you sing soon enough!" he says with a laugh bring down the crowbar on my chest. I cringe and he continues to beat me with the weapon and try to focus on the good in the situation. At least I saved Jay. "Come on Birdie Boy, speak to your old Uncle J!" Joker says grabbing the front of my suit and dragging me into a sitting position. I try to regain my breath before looking at him a giving him a glare. He whacks me in the face with the crowbar, cutting open my cheek, and ripping off part of my mask. "Wow that looked like it really hurt." he says before grinning sadistically bring the crowbar back down on me.

"Come on Grayson, you can do this, the Team and Bruce will get here soon"I tell myself as Joker continues hitting me around with the crowbar."Please hurry guys..."Joker slams me in the chest, undoubtedly cracking a rib and I hit my head on the ground, staring up at the ceiling from on my back.

"Whoa now hang on that looked like it hurt a lot more" he remarks as I struggle to breath. "So, let's try to clear this up, ok Pumpkin? What hurts more... A?" he says slamming the crowbar down on my already hurt chest. "Or B?" he asks hitting my face. "Forehand?" another hit to the face knocking me to the side. "or backhand" another hard strike to the ribs. By now I knew I had at least 3 broken ribs and possibly a collapsed lung. I was not feeling the aster to say the least. Joker brings the crowbar down again, mercilessly and I taste blood filling my mouth. He hits me again and again before he finally stops for a while to bask in the glory, laughing manically, as I lay face down.

"Damn you" I try to tell him glaring up at him. He bends down and mimics me, coping my choked sounds.

"A little louder lambchop , I think you might have a collapsed lung, that always impedes the auditory " he mocks messing with my hair. I collect blood in my mouth and spit it at him, hitting him in the face in a way that would have made Jason proud. Joker however doesn't like it and he slams my face into the ground before standing and whipping the blood off his face. "Now that was rude," he starts and I resist the urge to roll my eyes. Like beating me with a crowbar isn't?"I remember back when you were a Boy Blunder you at least had some manners." I glare at him. "I suppose I should reteach you those manners... Naw I'm just going to keep beating you with this crowbar" he says Stomping on my back before bring down the metal object once more.

"Bruce please hurry"I pray silently closing my eyes as Joker continued to beat me, all while laughing manically. He beats me a bit more, for what seems like hours, before packing away his crowbar and walking towards the door. I'm so exhausted I can't even move as he speaks again.

"Okay kiddo I got to go, it's been fun though right?" he calls. I can't even move my head to glare at him. "Well maybe a smidge more fun for me then you, I'm just guessing since you're being awful quiet. Anyway, be a good boy, finish your homework, and be in bed by 9, and hey! Please tell the big man and the mini Boy Blunder I said hello... who knows maybe next time I'll pay him a visit" Joker says before laughing and slamming the door shut.

"No I can't let him get Jay"I force my eyes open, half exposed due to the rip, and roll over and back so I can get my hands in front of me. I then stand and try to control the dizziness in my head, as I try and walk to the door. That doesn't go over well and I trip falling forward. But I refused to give up. I drag myself forward, inch by inch towards the door, finally reaching it. I reach upwards and pull on the handle trying to get out. It was locked. I turn and slump against the door in defeat. That's when I hear the beeping. I look around until my gaze lands on a stack of dynamite connecting to a detonator counting down from 30 seconds. Shit...

Dun Dun Dun... Next chapter is back to the Team! Anyway please please
