Aqualad screamed as Joker hit him in the ribs again with his crowbar. He heard the screams of his teammates in the background, begging him to stop. Blackout had surrounded them with a forcefield so they couldn't interrupt their play time.

"Hehehehe. You sing almost as good as boy wonder. Sing more for me fish boy!" Joker begged, as he delivered a hit to the back of Kaldur's neck. He gritted his teeth and fell to the ground. Joker pouted slightly.

"Do want to sing for me eh?"

He got no answer. The young hero just glared at him. The clown turned to Blackout who was smirking at the team's misery.

"Blackout, he won't sing for me." Joker complained.

Blackout turned sharply to the teen. Then he walked over and forced him to his feet.

"Look after the brats. I'll handle this one."

"Goodie!"

Blackout looked the teen in the eye before kicking his knee cap inward. Kaldur screamed and fell to the ground holding his knee. The villain reached in his belt and pulled out a tazer. The team paled at this and started banging on the force field harder. He wasn't just their leader, he was their brother. Kaldur's body convulsed on the ground in pain as the electricity flowed through him. M'Gann cried into Conner's chest while he yelled and screamed at the man. When Blackout turned off the tazer, Kaldur laid on the ground groaning.

"Had enough hero?" Blackout asked, bending down to his level.

"Never." Kaldur said, through gritted teeth.

Blackout glared at him and then stomped on his stomach. Aqualad started coughing violently and Raquel saw blood come out the side of his mouth.

"Stop it! You're killing him!" she yelled.

Blackout turned to her.

"Well if you want to blame somebody, blame Green Arrow."

"What did he do?" Artemis asked, looking up from Wally whose head was in her lap.

"I gave him a choice. I'd give you the antidote and he chooses which teammate I get to torture and as you can see, he choose fish boy."

Artemis stared wide eyed at the villain and shook her head. Green Arrow couldn't do this. He wouldn't do this.

"You're lying."

"Ok, fine don't believe me, think what you want." He said, grabbing something else from his belt. Everyone's face paled when they saw that it was a pistol. Everyone started pounding harder on the force field, especially Raquel.

"Leave him alone!" she yelled.

Blackout ignored her and put the gun in Kaldur's face. He just kept a straight face.

"Aren't you going to beg? Beg for me to spare your life?"

Kaldur just remained silent.

"Come on, nothing? Any last words?"

"You will not win. The League will find us."

"Oh silly boy, don't you see. I've already won."

Blackout coaked the gun and aimed it at Kaldur as he held his finger firmly on the trigger.

"KALDUR!" Rocket yelled, at the top of her lungs. Then he pulled the trigger.

Meanwhile

Aquaman took the nearest zeta- tube to Atlantis. While he was swimming, he was trying to figure out a way to tell Mera and Tula about Kaldur, but nothing seemed right. Before he knew it, he was inside the palace. When he looked up, he saw his brother swimming towards him.

"Brother, you are home early." Prince Orin said, hugging him.

"Yes, I am." Arthur said, sadly.

"Brother, what is wrong? You seem upset."

"I need to talk to Mera and Tula. Do you know where they are?"

"Yes, they are in the sleeping chambers preparing for the arrival of your child." His brother said.

Arthur swam off leaving his worried brother behind him. Meanwhile, Tula was putting the finishing touches on the baby's room.

"My queen, do you like it?" she asked, hopefully.

"Yes, Tula. It is marvelous. I am sure my child will sleep soundly here." She said, rubbing her swollen stomach. Mera smiled as she saw her husband in the door.

"Arthur, you are home early." Mera said, kissing him on the lips.

"Hello my king." Tula said, bowing.

"Hello to you both." Arthur said, with an overwhelming sadness in his voice.

"Arthur, is something wrong? You seem distressed."

"Oh Mera. It's Kaldur. He and the team were kidnapped yesterday by Joker and a villain named Blackout. In order to save Artemis, the young archer, one of the Leaguers had to choose who would be tortured and he chose Kaldur."

Mera's eyes widened and Tula gasped.

"This cannot be, my king." Tula said.

"Sadly, it is. We are searching for them at this moment. I decided to tell the two of you in person." Arthur said.

"Excuse me my king, but I must inform Garth of this."

"Go."

Tula swam out of the room with tears in her eyes. Mera hugged her husband tightly and he put a hand on her stomach. Kaldur was no is a son to both of them and a friend to all. The thought of losing him is unbearable. King Orin could've sworn he heard Garth's voice in the distance. Suddenly, Aquaman's communicator went off.

"Aquaman here."

"Aquaman, we have a problem." Superman said.

"What is it?"

"You may want to sit down."

Arthur looked at his wife and she swam out of the room. After she was gone, he sat down on a chair in the room.

"I am listening."

"Arthur, there's no easy way to say this, so I'm just going to say it. A couple of campers found a body in the woods that matches Kaldur's description."

Please review and I'll send you a Blackout punching bag! =)
