Grrrrr I hate being sick it sucks! Anyway... I have become a Jason Todd fan. Omg Red Hood is such a BOSS! What bugs me is that they (the Young Justice writers) totally skipped Jason! I mean completely skipped him, didn't even mention the guy! He was the Robin after Dick, but no they skip him and use Tim which is the Robin after Jason! (By the way I love Tim he's awesome! Have nothing against him.) Well he's pretty important, he became one of Batman's greatest failures! I mean I don't know he did get BEAT TO DEATH WITH A CROWBAR BY THE JOKER AND BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE THEN BECOMING AN ANTIHERO! That's pretty important! At least put him in Young Justice as a plot twist!...

I'm sorry about the ranting fangirl came out. But I'm completely serious about this. And If you haven't seen Batman Under the Red Hood, you should see it. Because it's epic mind blowing stuff! It has Jason and Dick, I love Dick in that movie lol he's so funny! Neil Patrick Haris is Dick's voice :D Whoo! Anyway Enjoy the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Young Justice, I just help Mal with command central.

Why do I feel like I've been hit with a ton of bricks? What happened to me? My eyes begin to flutter open, I feel warm. Whatever I'm lying on is soft and comfortable. I just want to curl up and fall asleep again. I feel something petting my head. It's nice.

I glance around the room, it's fancy like a penthouse. The room is filled with expensive furniture and everything is lined with gold. There's a huge window replacing the wall in front of me, it shows Gotham's skyline.

I turn on my back, and I can make out a figure above me. I focus on it, and I see Chris's vampire-like face. My eyes widen, I remember what happened. Chris kidnapped me, and now I'm lying on his lap while he's petting my head! I also realize that my coat is gone, and my dress is exposed. It's a short black long sleeve dress, but the collar is low...I'm not liking this. Ah! Kate why did you suggest this dress, Chris is such a pervert!

I sit up immediately, but something comes over me. I begin to lose energy and I feel sleepy. I fall back into Chris's arms, and my head rests on his chest. What's going on?

"There, there," he whispers, still petting my head, "The poppy serum hasn't worn off yet." My eyes shoot open, HE DRUGGED ME! I react fast, and I start pushing him away. Slapping him in the face, trying to get away.

"Birdy stop it!" he yells.

"No get away!" I manage to get off of him. I make it on my feet and bolt my way to the other side of the room. He gets up from the couch we were sitting on. I pick up a pillow in defense...yes a pillow. "I have a pillow and I'm not afraid to use it!"

He raises an eyebrow, "Ariana?" I hold it up ready to throw, and he takes a step forward towards me. I throw it at him, unfortunately he dodges. I pick up another pillow, Chris pulls off one of his leather gloves exposing his hand. My heart stops, he wouldn't dare!

Chris has the ability to turn anything he touches into stone, but only for a limited amount of time. It wears off, but still being a lifeless object for that amount of time. I shudder at the thought. He takes a step closer, "Ariana don't make me use this." I give him a stern look and throw the pillow at him. He grabs it and it turns to stone.

I keep grabbing things around me, and throwing them at him. But he always comes one step closer to me.

I grab a vase, "This is for kidnapping me!" It turns to stone. I pick up a lamp.

"This is for being such a pervert!" he grabs it and it falls to the ground with the others. I pick up a metal chair...where did this come from? But I notice I am face to face with Chris. His golden eyes staring deeply into my maroon ones. Anger surges through me, "AND THIS IS FOR BREAKING MY HEART!" I slam the chair on his head, I feel like a wrestler. He stumbles to the ground. He holds his head and gives me a confused look. I huff at him, he catches on. He gives me that smug look on his face like he always does.

"Well I can't help it that I have moves like Jagger?"

That's it! I start to hit him with the chair continually. "You're. Not. Helping!" He grabs the chair, turning it into stone. I quickly let go of it before it spread onto me. He gets up and glares at me, now being serious. He slips his glove back on. "Look I never meant to hurt you like that."

Tears start to form in my eyes, "What dumping me for some other chick! Throwing me on the curb like I was trash!"

Grief washes over his face, and he steps closer to me. I try to back away but I bump into a wall. Chris blocks my way of escape, I glare angrily at him. But it quickly fades away as I look at his big golden puppy-dog eyes. I grit my teeth, Chris knows me too well. I try to advert my eyes from his but he just keeps getting closer. Eventually his forehead brushes on mine. I look up at him, and he leans in. His lips brush against mine, and I feel his gloved hand makes its way to caress the back of my neck. I start to feel weak, like I always do when I kiss him. I give in and kiss him back, I really did miss him...

I wrap my arms around his neck, leaning in to get closer. But this doesn't feel right...what am I doing! I pull away from him, trying to escape from his arms. I do and walk away from him, but I sense something strange about Chris. I rapidly turn around to face him, but I can't read that cold murderous expression of his. He steps closer, I shake my head. "Stay away."

But he ignores me. "You're so cruel to me Ariana."

"What do you mean?" I try to hide the fact that my voice cracked.

"It's not like I don't know about that hero of yours."

I freeze, what! What is he talking about, "I...I don't understand."

"Nightwing of course." How! How does he know about that!

"How...?"

"I have my way of finding information," he says coldly.

"Well what does that have to do with anything!"

"Everything! Are you a villain or are you a hero! Tell me!"

"I'm neutral!" I shout.

He was taken aback, "Neutral?"

"Yes, I'm not a villain or a hero."

His face darkens, "I see...but you still take that Bat Brat over me!"

I stare at him dumbfounded, "Well I don't want to hurt anymore people! I want these nightmares to go away!"

I could tell that didn't fly so well with him, "You don't think I know that! He knows nothing about you, yet you trust him so freely! I know what you go through! The pain, the struggle, the nightmares, the curses, and the rejection!" He grabs onto me, I pull back away from him. Unfortunately he rips of one of the sleeves off my dress. He tightens his grip on the loose fabric in his hand.

He pulls out a knife, and swings at me. It cuts my face right under my left eye. I fall back onto the wooden floor. I glare up at Chris with horror in my eyes. He raises the knife above me, with those cold murderous eyes of his glaring back down at me.

His eyes soften and he drops the knife, he falls to ground. He looks at me, he reaches for my face. I flinch when he touches me, but all he does is wipes the dripping blood away from my face.

"Tell you what," he whispers, "I'll keep your secret about working with heroes from the other villains if…"

"If what?"

He gives me a cold look, his thoughts enter my mind. I'm stricken with horror, I start to shake my head violently, no...no...NO! I scurry away from him, but he grabs me. He picks me up, but I'm flailing all over the place. He throws me onto the bed and pins me down.

I look up at his determined face, I squirm trying to break from his grasp. "Chris let me go!" He ignores me and leans in closer. I snap at him, "Chris I'm warning you stop it now!" He starts to unzip my dress, alright you asked for it. I slam my head right into his nose. He flails back, clutching his nose. He looks back at me, he looks down at his hand and I see that his nose is bleeding. I sit up crossing my legs on the bed, so he won't get any more ideas.

"Birdy!" he yells.

I huff at him angrily, "Well you deserved it! I think that mob boss thing has finally got to your head!"

He looks back at me, with his golden eyes filled with tears, I sigh. He will still be the same old Chris. "I'm not forgiving you!"

"But Birdy?" he coos. I give him a stern look, and look away in annoyance. Next thing I know he is sitting next to me on the bed. I put my defenses up, he just glares back at me and I know the Chris I know is back and the perverted one is locked up.

"I'm sorry I wasn't thinking straight," he says with a ton of apology.

I slap him in the face, "You never think you idiot!"

He nods, "You're right this mob boss thing is getting to my head."

I sigh, "No you've always be like this."

He faintly smiles, "True."

We sit there awkwardly. "Have any nightmares?" he asks.

I nod. "About what?" he asks.

"People dying like always," tears started to form. He leans in closer to me, and I lay my head on his chest. "It's horrible."

"I know," he softly whispers. I looked down at his gloved hand, and he stretches the hem in a nervous habit like he always does. I'm not the only one who is cursed. I like the fact that we share the same pain, it means I'm not alone in this fight of life. "Does he know?" Chris asks.

I look up at him, "No."

He just nods, "Did he break you out of your cage?"

I shake my head, "Someone else released me. He just found a poor broken winged bird on the ground, and took it under his wing."

"I see," he says quietly.

We sit there for a few minutes until he breaks the silence, "I'll keep your secret."

"You will?"

He nods, "With no charge."

"Why the change of heart?"

"If I look back on it, you've always have been there for me and I just want you to be happy. I thought working with these heroes wouldn't make you as happy as you were with me. I was just being selfish, and it's clear to me now that you've moved on. Besides you like that Bat Brat now..."

"What! I do not! We're just friends."

"Right...to him it didn't sound like you two were just friends."

My eyes widen, "What do you mean by that."

He realizes what he said, "Oh nothing."

I give him the evil eye, he just shrugs. I give in, he's not going to tell me either way. He leans in closer. "Hey," he whispers.

"What?"

"Love you." I smile as he leans his head on my shoulder.

I just roll my eyes, "Love you too." He leans over and kisses me on the cheek.

"You're pushing it," I growl. He quickly backs away.

There's suddenly a knock at the door, "Midas!" It sounds like a minion of his.

"I'll be there soon," he harshly replies. He turns towards me and raises an eyebrow. "Well you better get going...," he holds out his hands to make them look like claws, "before I decide to rape you again!" He says jokingly. I elbow him in the stomach.

"Not funny!"

He laughs. "I know," he becomes all serious, "We'll still say in touch right?"

I give him a faint smile, "Of course..."

He raises an eyebrow, "Promise?"

I chuckle, "Promise." He quickly leads over and kisses me in a short chaste kiss. I blush as I look at his big sad golden eyes. "Chris," I softly whisper.

He nods his head towards the window, "You better getting going Birdy."

I just nod in reply, I leap off the bed and bolt to window. I slide it open, I hop onto the balcony. I look back at Chris, he just glares at me with that puppy dog look. "Nightwing is letting the Birdy out of her cage?"

I smirk, "He has no idea." I leap off the edge into the black abyss below.

I walk out of the zeta tube of the cave. I look around to see if anybody was there, unfortunately there was Nightwing standing right in front of me. He looks shocked at my appearance, well I would be too if you saw me. I have ripped clothes and a bleeding cut under my left eye. I hear someone walk in, it's Kate. She stops in her tracks when she sees me. A confused/worried look appears on her face. I roll my eyes, and walk on.

Nightwing reaches out to touch me, but I just grab his hand. I sense his thoughts. I give him a sympathetic glare, and a faint smile.

"I can take care of myself." Hot tears start to run down my cheek, I wrap my arms around him in a hug. "Thank you for worrying about me," I whisper so only we could hear. I let go and bolt to my room before either one could respond.

Yes yes fluff I know I'm evil! I really feel bad for Chris (Midas) because sunflower totally hates him! *pouts* I absolutely love him as a character. But it's either you love him or hate him. (Well I've always had a thing for villains) So tell us what you think of Midas, because there will more of him later on! And to be clear on one thing, it's totally ArianaxNightwing. Because someone (sunflower!) doesn't like my sort-of attempt of a love triangle!

Well sunflower has the next chapter...let's hope Kate doesn't throw Midas off the Wayne Inc. building *crosses fingers*.

As you can see he is an unstable character. Between us. No but seriously tell us your thoughts about Midas, REVIEW because I own all of your souls! Dictator out... (will not post new chapter unless I get 5 reviews :D)

P.S: When I wrote this chapter I had 13 followers, which is an unlucky number XD! Hahaha, sunflower and I were totally laughing about it. But seriously I'm super happy that people like this story, thanks to all of you who follow and fave me!

Sunflower: Hey! Yes, I totally hate Chris, and yes he's going to pay for what he did to Ariana. Revenge is sooooo sweet….
