Dicks POV
Happy Harbor [December 2, 18:34]
Things just aren't working out for me this week. Someone close to me is being attacked, I m in the center and I think I'm going to die.
Just an average week for a hero. Of course just because I think I'm gonna die doesn't mean I m going to just roll over for the bad guys.
"Zatanna! I shouted. Cover your nose and mouth, and shut your eyes!"I quickly pulled out a gas bomb and a flash bang grenade and threw them next to the injustice league.
Next I grabbed Zatanna and ducked us behind a steel container. I know your thinking. Why didn't we just run?
Well the answer is simple. That's actually worse than trying to fight them. They would hunt us down and kill us not to mention the fact that innocent people could get hurt.
"Zatanna,stay here and hide. I said. I'm going to stop them." Zatanna looked at me like I was going off to kill myself, which was probably the case considering who I was fighting. "You cant go alone! She protested.
If you go out their you'll be killed and then they win! Don't …" I put my fingers to her lips signaling for her to stop talking. "If you go out there and they abduct you then they really win because they get exacty what they want. I explained. I'm not gonna just stand by while you get taken away by people like the. Forget it."
I put my hand on her shoulder and squeezed it slightly.
'I'll be alright. I said. Once I beat these guys we can go back on with our lives. I got up and ran back towards the smoke putting on my rebreather as I went. The flash bang had worn off but the gas had not taken its effect.
"Do you think you can hide from us with a measly smoke bomb? Joker laughed. Please! Bizarro! Sinestro!" Bizarro quickly used his lungs to inhale all the gas while Sinestro created a yellow vacuum cleaner meaning the smoke goes in his ring and on to his body. When the gas cleared both Bizarro and Sinestro were on the ground out cold.
"Its not smoke. I said taking off my rebreather. It's anesthetic gas (Knockout Gas), and considering those idiots just sucked in a ton of it they'll be out for an hour or two."
I saw how stunned they were and saw my chance. Take out the next two most powerful.
I quickly slammed Dr. Destiny, and Giganta's heads together knocking them out. I heard gunfire behind me and realized Deadshot was shooting at me. Okay I told myself.
Think you've trained how to beat this loser. I threw two batarang's, and Deadshot took the bait instantly. I jumped up as he shot the two batarang's.
Before he could react I punched him in the face so hard his mask cracked, making him fall to the ground.
Was about to congratulate myself on how awesome I was, but everything from that point was horrible, so their was no point.
I was so busy worrying about all the others I forgot about the joker himself. I guess it's hard to forget about him when he's slamming a crowbar into your back.
He hit me again laughing as he did it. And he kept doing it over and over. The pain was so horrible.
The crowbar kept landing on me like I was just a punching bag. I protected my slept from any head blows or broken bones, but that doesn't mean anything. Eventually he'd get lucky and hit me in the right place to kill me.
I'm going to die. I know that. I just wish I had the chance to talk my friends, Batman, Alfred and Zatanna more time.
But I guess that's just too much to ask for. I'm sorry guy's.
Zatanna's Pov
Happy Harbor Pier [December 2, 18:49]
I cant watch this any longer. Every blow Robin takes is like I'm getting hit myself. I want to run to him , but he told me to stay behind. I…I cant do it. I jumpd up and chanted a spell
"Rabwroc ot sneogip!"As the pigeons flew away I ran to Robin who looked like he had been run over by a truck.
"Robin! I ran towards him. Robin, are you alright?" I never even got the chance to say goodbye. Scorn quickly grabbed me and put his hand on my mouth to stop me from chanting a spell.
"Stay still little girl. he hissed as I struggled viciously with him. I looked at Robin, who stared back at me intensely, His face had no expression, and his eyes…his eyes were soulless. He stared at me with the eyes of a corpse.
"Joker. Scorn said. I have her. Time to go." The joker looked at Scorn, and I, merely chuckling.
"Your boyfriend sure looks dead! He told me kicking robin in the stomach. There was no moan, no scream. Robin merely just rolled. I closed my eyes unable to look at what was once a hero.
He was a hero far too brave to ever be a man.
A hero that ignored his limits, and pushed too far beyond them. I struggled with Scorn more but his grip was like iron.
"I told you to stay still and quiet little girl. He threatened again pulling out a knife. I guess I'll just have to mess up your pretty face, or remove a few fingers, or…"
"Stupid Scorn! Joker chuckled. We need her in prime condition for the next part of the plan! After all the brat wonder is down for the count, so until he's back we cant do anything yet! He smiled holding my chin. Birdboy needs to watch me kill her." I looked into the Jokers eyes.
They were menacing. Like insanity was born and raised in his eye's. They burned with the fire of hate and insanity at the world.
"You better stop talking about me like I'm not around you clown!" The joker's expression turned to shock.
Clutching his leg was Robin, who was repeatedly stabbing the jokers leg with a batarang. "Let her go Joker, or I swear I'll…" Joker stomped on his fingers and grabbed the batarang.
I screamed Robin's name, but it just came out as muffled wimper.
"Here. Joker said stabbing Robin in the leg with his own batarang making him cry out in pain. I think this is your's" I looked at Robin who seemed to be fading in and out of consciousness.
I looked at the other villains Robin had defeated, and realized they were beginning to come back around.
"Execllent. Joker said. Come on! We have to do some last minute shopping at S.T.A.R Labs!" S.T.A.R labs? There is some serious high tech stuff their. They could blow up an entire city with stuff their!
"Giganta! Deadshot! Joker called. Stay here and finish off the brat wonder. I wanted him to be there for Zatanna's death, but he's in the way. Make sure you bring his corpse back!"
I watched Giganta grow to an enormous size, pick up Robin and try to crush him in her fist. I watched as Scorn dragged me away. A person I loved was dying. And I'll I could do was stand their and watch. Robin…Find a way out of this…please…

Happy Harbor [December 2, 19:00]
Just like everyone says… your life really does flash before your eyes. I saw my parents, Batman, Alfred, Wally, Zatanna, and everyone else on the team. But all these memorys jut bring me back to the same place…Getting crushed to death by some stupid science experiment gone wrong.
Definetley not how I thought I would go out. It's a crime really. Now that im on this team, well… We had so much potential.
We could've replaced the Justice League one day. I hope there okay. I wish I had more energy. I could help. Help Zatanna get away, but I have no energy.
No more.. Im too tired. And all can think about is…what a coward ive been towards her. I never said anything to Zatanna. Ever I guess actions speak louder than words, but words are still powerful.
I guess its too late now. I can't take this crushing. Just let the pain stop. No more. Too tired. I'm losing consciousness…
