XTORTURE USEDX

Batman struggled down the shaft, he was still healing, but he was determined to see his son again, after 6 years, he at least wanted to see if Robin had changed at all since the showdown at Arkam Asylum...

"Robin will be so confused, but I have the feeling, he'll get by that and we can be a team again"

(AN: In my story, Batman was 'killed' and Robin was sent away, therefore meeting the TT, Slade and not knowing of his fathers recovery, ok, meaning Batman doesn't know about the Titans, my story my rules :P)

Batman lost his footing and fell off the roof, landing on the hard concrete...

"It's a damn good thing I am the Batman, Bruce Wayne could handle a fall like this..."

Batman said as he got up painfully and limped into Gotham city, a few children stared in amazement as he limped to the fountain, distractions, were not a thing he could afford right now, not with his son out there, he knew to check Gotham orphanage, just to be sure, the pier house, he loved that place, Arkam Park and, the Bat Cave, if need be...but he was certain that Robin wouldn't be there...after 6 years, why would he?

"Worth a try anyway..."

Batman thought as he looked in the fountain, a few faint lines showed around his mouth...

"The lines are really showing old timer..."

A sultry voice sounded, Batman smirked at the woman that walked up to him

"Catwoman, been a long time since I saw you around Arkam"

Batman smirked as the woman jumped in front of him

"Oh you know me, Batty, I prefer my parks to have, a view"

Catwoman purred

"Down kitty, I'm not here to flirt, I need some questions answered, 6 years worth of questions"

Catwoman gave a smutty smirk and sat on the fountain rim

"Shoot, Batty"

Catwoman purred as she stared at the bat in front of her, he may have aged but, damn! He was fine as hell, it made her purr in pleasure as he rambled on about things.

"So what I really need to know is...have you seen my foster-son, Robin?"

Batman asked her

"Well..."

Catwoman debated whether to tell him that his son was carted off to a different city orphanage...or make up a random lie...she chose to change the subject all together

"Have you seen my new mask? I have a black bat shaped one now"

She smirked, he pushed by her, clearly not in the mood for obstacles

"Ok, ok Batty, I'll spill"

The feline pouted as she stretched, Batman tapped impatiently on the fountain base.

"Alright, Alright, here's the truth, after you were, 'killed' Robin ran from the scene, I didn't know at the time what Joker had done, so I just kept an eye on him, motherly, eh? Like a cat looking after he kittens-"

Batman growled in annoyance

"CONTINUE!"

Catwoman jumped a little, he'd never yelled like that before, not at her anyway...

"Ok, as I was saying, the police caught him and escorted him to the police car and shut the door, I was a little worried about the bird, that and I am a cat, he's-"

Batman glared at the cat

"Ok, I heard that he was sent away..."

The bench next to her was cracked in two, she jumped into a nearby bush until he dragged her by the tail, she yowled in pain as he swung her down and growled.

"Where. Is. My. SON!"

He snarled in anger at the scared cat

"F-From what I h-heard, he was taken about 6 miles from here, don't do anything naughty bats, please"

She tried to be sultry but her dumped her in the fountain and stormed away

"Yeah? WELL YOUR NOT SO COOL AS WELL BATSY!"

With Robin

Joker got the knife ready and smirked at the struggling teen, he was chained to a table

"Oh relax, let's put a smile on that face"

He said then slashed at Robin's face, he screamed in agony as blood dripped down from one side, he grimaced in pain, Joker stared at him as if anyalising before pouting.

"Still not in a smiling mood? I'll change that"

He smiled as he slashed the other side of Robins face, now he had two large lines like Joker, he wasn't laughing though he looked like he was, he was still grimacing with anger, this made the Joker mad.

"Oh dear, looks like someone needs the happy gas, eh, Robin"

Joker smirked as he walked over to a table and got a needle, Robin began to struggle as he saw it was a truth serum, Joker smirked in cruelness.

"Get used to smiling, because once this is in you, smiles will all you see"

Joker laughed madly as he let some of the serum out to scare the teen, all though he was already scared enough, he kept a straight enough face. Joker smirked.

"Tell me...Why. So. Serious. Son?"

In Jump City, Titans Tower...

Petal jolted up, sweat covered her forehead, Kit looked at her

"What is it"

The demon asked

"I don't know why...but I have the feeling that something is about to happen...something very bad..."

Petal said when all of a sudden a blue energy was sent into the building, a voice boomed.

"Alright you Slade bots, BOO...YAH? Hey who are you?"

The voice was Cyborg, followed by, Raven, Beast Boy and finally Starfire.

"Well, I'm Kit and this is Petal, and right now we were in the middle of relaxing"

Kit muttered

"Well this is our tower, so beat it!"

Raven growled

"Not since you died, became puppets and tried to kill Petal and Robin, your basically dead"

The gang looked at them with confusion

"This will be one long night of questions..."

After 1 hour and 35 minutes...

"So this...Joker? Brought us back from the dead, set us on Robin and almost made us annihilate half of our city?"

Raven asked

"Well, that blows chunks out of what Slade would have mad us do!"

Beast Boy said

"Slade, as far as we know is dead, well he was battered by Robin so I would think he would be dead..."

Kit explained

"I dunno, dudes real tough, even lava didn't stop the guy, so, what can?"

Cyborg sighed, Starfire flew to the wide window and whispered

"One person can and that one is missing..."

In Arkam Asylum, Deep Within the dark stalls...

The man shed his mask...for now, he needed to feel human, or somewhat human...it would help him discover his missing boy.

"He is mine and mine alone, I will not share him!"

The man growled as he came across the familiar yellow object with a T etched on it, it was glowing red, he picked it up and traced the DNA on it, this was his boy.

"Got you now little bird, you can't fly when I clip your wings"

He smirked as he began to walk to his location...

Unaware of the sight he was about to see...

With the Joker

He had almost laughed himself to death at the result of his experiment, it was a success, a smiling success...the boy was all but laughs now.

"Feeling...cheerful, Robin?"

He asked, the boy tried to speak, scream, do something, but...

all he could do...

Was laugh...

Slade burst through the door and his heart stopped as he stared at the...thing, in front of him, this...this...creature, could not possibly be his boy, just as he entered, so did Batman from above the room, both of them had the same thing on their minds...

'That's my boy!'

Both stared in silence, too scared and too shocked to speak or move, it was Joker that broke the silence. With his famous catch phrase.

"Why so...serious?"

Ok I think I'll end it here

I was cruel wasn't I?
