Dick's POV
Tim was getting worse as more and more time went past. After, according to the beetle, another day went past, Tim broke. "Hahahahahahaha… Silly Ra's… Capturing all of the 'partners' was a set-up for failure. Teehee! Daddy's gonna kill him!" He sang in a creepy tone as a large grin grew across his face. His skin began paling considerably and his hair took a green tinge.
"Red Robin?" I asked. He didn't respond. "Tim?" Nothing. "Timmy?" He looked up at me, still grinning.
"Yes Wing?" Tim responded in a creepy voice.
"Are you okay? Are you still… Tim?" I asked shakily.
"Nope! Tim's someone else… someone else trapped up here. Teehee!" He tapped his head. "He's trapped like Zubair, Reaper, Begonia, Stray and like I usually am. Hehe! But now I'm out! We can have such fun! Hahahaha!" Tim rocked back and forth, but seemed so happy… it was so different than what I'm used to him being like. It was a good change.
"Can I talk to Tim, then?" I asked. Even if it was good to see him happy, it wasn't really him.
Madcap immediately jumped up and stomped his foot saying, "No! It's my turn! He never lets us fully out! It's! My! Turn!" He got very close to me as he threw a tantrum.
"Whoah, whoah, whoah! Okay, okay Madcap! When will he be back?" I asked, a bit shocked from the whiplash of Madcap being so happy to so mad.
"It'll be a while." Madcap said, rocking back and forth on his heels, back to being happy. "You see, I get from now, to halfway through tomorrow, then Reaper gets a day, then Zubair, Stray, and Begonia. It'll be a while, teehee!"
Damnit. "Okay, well, we need to get out of here. Will you help?" I asked. Please be willing to help, please be willing to help! Please don't make me hurt you or leave you…
"Sure! It sounds like such fun! Hahaha! Ohh, what's this?" Madcap extended Robin's bo staff and held it in front of him for a few seconds before swinging it like a bat. "It'll do I suppose… Crowbars are better though… or tire irons." Madcap skipped over to the door of the room and hummed. "Well, how're we flying the coop?"
"Superboy?" I asked, motioning to the door. He nodded and rammed into it, knocking it off of its hinges.
"I suppose that works… not my style though." Madcap sighed then attacked one of the ninjas. Even as I fought, I watched him take enemies down with Robin's precision, Tim's precision but Joker's ferocity and carelessness for his own well-being. I hope Tim comes back soon…

Tim/Madcap's POV (Bold later is Zubair, Underlined is Begonia, /_/ is Reaper, and [_] is Stray)
Teehee. They just don't get it. They think that psychologist can 'fix me' but she can't! Tim needs to be the one to take the meds or I'll still be in charge! And was breaking the door down really necessary? Jeez, Bats! No style… not as much fun! But I can fix that. Hehehehe!
I can feel their eyes on me as I take out the assassins who were trying to kill me. Ninjas, really Grandfather? That's the best you can do? Let me come out, Madcap! I want to make them suffer!
No! It's my turn!
"Tim, he's down." Nightwing's voice jolted me back to the present and I looked under me to see an assassin that was on the wrong side of unconscious.
"Hehe, whoops! Got stuck up here! Oh, and, I'm not Tim! I'm Timmy, aka Madcap, silly!" I stood up and tapped my head. You aren't stuck. I am. LET. ME. OUT! "NO! It's my turn! You'll get your turn later!" I stomped my foot angrily, yelling at Zubair. Back off, Zubair! It is his turn! [And we never bother you when it is your turn!]
"No one's here…" I heard Beast Boy say.
I spun towards him, knowing I looked even more insane than usual as I grinned and explained "That's what you think! But there is! They all are here, up here!" I tapped my head again. "They want out, but it's. my. TURN!" I stomped my foot to emphasize each sentence. "They keep fighting me, but it's my turn! It's not fair!" Stop whining, insolent, psycho brat! Leave him alone, Zubair! "I'm. not. Psycho! I'm crazy, insane even, but not psycho! I never hurt anyone! So shut up you. Fucking. Bratty. Sociopathic. Assassin!" I felt tears beginning to drip down my face. "I'm not psycho…" No, you aren't. Someone wrapped me in a tight hug as I sobbed. "I just want to be me! They keep calling me names… I know I'm crazy, but I'm not psycho… I'm not! They're always in my head and they never shut up! I just want them to shut up and let me be me, just for a while. Then it's their turn and I get that, but they don't have to call me psycho! I'm not. I'm really not." I realized it was Nightwing hugging me as I clung on to him to anchor myself in reality. "They scare me." /We should/ I won't hurt you, Madcap. I never would. [I won't let them hurt you.]
"Shhhh, it's okay. You aren't psycho. You may have issues, but you aren't psycho. Now, Madcap, we gotta go. More assassins will be here any second." Nightwing said, helping me up. I grabbed onto a pipe on the wall next to me and yanked a portion of it off.
"Th-this'll work better for me than a bo staff… Let's go!" I cart wheeled down the hallway towards where Tim knew the bioship thingy would be. The team loudly followed behind me. When we got nearer to the entrance, Zubair began to talk again. Please, you really think they'll let us out again! They only want Tim, not you! No one wants you, Madcap! You are a disgrace! I felt my steps falter and I fell, hurting my ankle before Nightwing picked me up and carried me. Ha. Can't even run right. Shut up. No. You have no power in your own mind. "Shut up. J-just shut up." I whispered. Nightwing stiffened, still holding me as I buried my face in his shoulder. Shut up, Zubair!
We got to the bioship and seats formed, belting us in as the ship took off. "Hey, when we get there, what do you want to eat?" Nightwing asked. I knew he was just trying to keep my mind here.
"Are there any cheeseburgers? I like cheeseburgers!" at his nod, I then asked "Can I have ice cream later, too?" He nodded, looking shocked at my change in character. "Yayy!" I clapped my hands together and bounced up and down in my seat.
Once we got to cruising altitude, Nightwing got up and said "I'm just going to take a look at your ankle, okay?" I nodded, happily looking at him. When he took off my boot, I couldn't help but wince and whimper. It really hurt and my ankle was slightly bruised and swollen. "Good news, I don't think it's broken, but it is sprained. You'll have stay off it as much as possible, at least today. We'll have to see how it is tomorrow."
"Okay… How're we gonna explain me to Mr. B?" I asked. Dumbass, he'll never let us out! He doesn't care about anyone but Tim! Only Tim and I are wanted! "Shut up, Zubair! Mommy and Daddy want me!" I yelled, glaring at the floor. That's it. Don't listen to him. [You are wanted.]
Nightwing ignore my outburst and said "We tell him the truth."
"But he won't let any of us out again!" I pouted.
"I'll make sure he does." Nightwing said, putting his hand on my shoulder. "You deserve to be you, at least for a while. Maybe you all could make a schedule of when you all can come out… Just take turns having the body to do whatever. Just tell us when you aren't Tim… We should be able to talk to Tim about it too. Maybe we can get him to agree to it too, okay?"
"Mhmm." Can I visit the garden when we get there? "Begonia wants to know if he can visit the Mountain's garden when we get there." I said.
"Uhh, sure. But why aren't you getting all defensive about it being 'your turn' in the body?" Nightwing asked, sitting down as we began to descend to the landing pad in the Mountain.
"Because Begonia is nice. He doesn't call me mean names or talk in my head unless it is necessary! I like him. He's my friend!" I said and grinned.
The bioship landed and we all walked out into the Mountain. When we reached the debriefing room, Mr. B looked straight at me and growled "What. Happened. And why is Madcap here?"
Nightwing stepped forward. "We were captured by the League of Shadows and imprisoned. Ra's AlGhul told us about how Robin has extreme multiple personality disorder and his medication was wearing off after two days. On the third day, his walls broke and the personalities came out. Tim won't be back for a few days. Madcap said he'll be here until halfway through tomorrow."
"Who all are we dealing with?" Mr. B asked.
"Madcap, Stray, Begonia, Reaper, and Zubair. From what it sounds like, Zubair will be awful to deal with. It sounds like Zubair is cruel, especially to Madcap. The others don't sound like they want to hurt people… except maybe Reaper." Nightwing told him.
"Hehe, yupp! Reaper's mean too… He just doesn't come out as much during the day. It's usually at night that he uses my fears against me in dreams… He's horrible." I whispered the last part. [Yeah…]
"Okay… Can any of you give us any warning when Zubair or Reaper are next to come out?" Nightwing asked, turning to me.
"Let me ask, but I know they're not next." Are you guys willing to tell them when Zubair and Reaper are going to have the next day?
No.
/Never!/
[Why not?]
Of course. They hurt plants for toxins!
"They say they will… well, except for Zubair and Reaper, but the others will! Teehee!" I giggled, overjoyed that they agreed.
"Good. He will stay here until he is Tim again and no one is allowed to know, clear?" Batman said.
"Yes sir." All the team said.
"Good. Damian, you're coming home with me." Damian ran after Batman as he strode towards the zetas.
