Disclaimer: I do not own Young Justice... no matter how much I wish I did.

Thank you for the reviews! And.. only one person got the riddle. A lot of ppl guessed leap-year, though... the answer was 'he was born in room 1936'

Robin: I can't believe I'm alive.

Me: Yes, Robin, we covered that 23 times.

Robin: So... I've been held by the Joker.

Me: Yep

Robin: for almost a year?

Me: Yeah, isn't it awesome?

Robin: No... it's terrifying!

Me: Your terror is my entertainment :)

Robin: Seriously? I thought I was your favorite.

Me: Well, now Kid Flash is my favorite

Robin: You're not whelmed, not whelmed at all

Kid Flash: Should I be scared?


The pain coursed through his body, but he couldn't scream out... only because the Joker had placed duct tape over his mouth, and he couldn't make a sound. If the tape had been gone, the boy wonder would have been screaming.

He had been forced to go through this shock torture every day for who knows how long, and nobody had known he was missing... Not even KF, his best friend! He still didn't know why nobody had found him, and it made him wonder if anybody was even looking for him. He didn't even know how he had gotten where he was.

The pain lasted for about five minutes, before the Joker finally shut it down. Like he usually was after it was turned off, he was trembling.

"You're still not going to tell me what I want to know? We've been doing this for nearly a year." Joker said, and Robin did his best to ignore him, and continued to stare at the ground. It's not like he could answer back, anyways.

"I saw someone here today... a friend of yours." This caught Robin's attention, but he still refused to look up. "It was that clone," Superboy. "And I'm guessing he along with the rest of your pathetic team will eventually show up... and I can't let them hear you if you yell for them... that is if their already here. It doesn't matter if their here though. I've set a little... surprise for them."

At the word surprise, Robin's head shot up. What did he mean by that? At the moment, he was glad there was the tape over his mouth to prevent him from talking. If he could, he would have called the Joker some not-so-nice names. Instead, he tried to get out of his restraints, and then the Joker decided to flip the switch and torture him some more.

"Robin, as fun as this is, it's getting tiring. Just tell me all that I want to know, and you can go free, back to your friends." the Joker told him, but Robin couldn't even hear him. Even if he couldn't hear him, though, he knew what he had said. It was the usual 'tell me this and i'll let you go', but he wasn't stupid. The Joker had no intention of letting him go. Suddenly, the pain stopped, and the boy wonder was left trembling worse than ever. His eyes were, once again, staring at the floor. He was only half-conscious.

He felt a needle enter his arm, and knew that he was injecting into his body the same thing they used every once in a while... the one that hurt and put him to sleep. It didn't hurt as much as it did in the beginning... probably because his body was use to it now. That didn't change it's effects, though, and he already felt himself slipping back into darkness.

"It's all set, Mistah' J." Was the last thing Robin heard before slipping into darkness... again.


"Look around for clues." Batman told the young heroes. "You four check around the rest of Arkham. Superboy you go with them. Kid Flash and I will finish searching in here."

"Don't give me orders." Superboy grumbled under his breath before jumping up to join the others, and walking away with them into another room.

"Batman... what if we're too late?" Kid asked.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean... what if they're already in a new location." Kid said, being more specific, and Batman didn't reply for a moment.

"We'll worry about that if we get to it."

Then, he walked out the doors into the hallway, and Kid hurried to follow. "So, this place is huge. How-" he cut off when he saw someone walk out of a room down the hall. She obviously worked for the Joker... and obviously, Batman recognized her.

"Harley!"

She looked over in surprise. "Puddin'! We've got company!" she yelled, and then disappeared down the dark hall.

"Go after her." Batman told Kid, and he immediately did as he was told, and sped down the hallway. He was shocked when he realized she had disappeared.

"Batman... she's go-" he was cut off when someone hit him from behind, hard, and Kid Flash went flying into a wall.

"Kid, where is she?" Batman called, coming down the hall, just as KF stood up. "What happened?"

"Someone hit me when I stopped... Harley just disappeared!" He said, walking over.

"More like you ran by her and didn't notice." Batman said. "And she more than likely hit you."

"I know that." Kid said, sounding a little irritated.

"Come on... let's check the room she came from."

The two of them walked over to the door, and opened it cautiously to find the room empty except for an arrow Kid recognized as Artemis's.

"She must have tried to shoot Harley." He said, picking it up. "She usually gets her arrows back before leaving... do you think something happened to the others?"

Before anybody could say another word, someone else walked into the room.

"It's not nice to show up at someone's home uninvited." The Joker said, and Batman walked right over to him, batarang in his hand.

"Where's Robin?"

"Robin? The Boy Blunder? No idea... I thought he flew away to a better place." the Joker said, who was making it obvious he was lieing. He wanted to mess with them.

"We know you have him here," Kid said, walked over behind Batman. "Just tell us where he is."

"Now, why would he be he-" The Joker couldn't finish his sentence, because Batman had punched him in the face, sending him crashing onto the floor.

"Batman, is that the best you got? You've lost your touch this past year." The Joker said, pulling out a gun. Where the heck did he get that? KF was about to help him when Harley showed up, with a gun of her own.

"Nu uh, Flash boy, that wouldn't be fair!" she said, before pulling the trigger.

"It's Kid Flash! Is that so hard to remember!" Kid Flash yelled as he dodged the bullet.

The Joker suddenly ran out of the room, and Batman followed. Deciding he didn't really want to waste time fighting Harley, he ran by her, following them. They had run a few rooms down, and he knew Harley was following.

He sped into the room just in time to see Batman throw the Joker against the wall, hand to his throat.

"I'll give you one more chance; where is he?"

"Are you aware this is the third time you've asked that?" he asked, before pulling out a knife and stabbing Batman's hand, causing him to pull away.

"I wouldn't attack again... or the kid's will get it." the Joker told Batman before he could attack again. KF was confused for a second, and then saw a metal cage on he far side of the room. Inside were the others, each tied up. Artemis, Roy, and M'gann were all unconscious. Superboy was trying to escape his restraints. Obviously, the cage was mixed with kryptonite. There were cable's attatched to the cage, and it took KF a moment to realize what they were for. Turn on the machine, and it worked like the table Supey had seen Robin on.

Batman just noticed them, and turned to the Joker. He was about to say something when two, loud gunshots echoed throughout the room. KF only heard it at first... and then he felt it, in both his legs, and then he crashed to the ground, holding back a shout. He started to panic. He couldn't walk! How was he going to help?

It took Batman a moment to realize what had happened, and the Joker grabbed some huge hammer, and hit his head as hard as he could while his back was turned. Batman then fell to the ground, unconscious.

"This is going to be fun." the Joker said before laughing. KF looked over at Harley, just in time to get knocked unconscious himself.


Congrats to DaughteroftheKing97... for being the only one to get the riddle :P


Riddle:
