Chapter 11

Robin, take it away.

Robin: I want to say no because I'm pretty sure you're going to torture me in this chapter.

Me: Nope, I'm giving you lollipops.

Robin: Hmm, What flavor?

Me: Blue Raspberry…?

Robin: yeah right. Well BB doesn't own YJ. IF YOU LOVE ME REVIEW OTHERWISE I THIINK SHE MIGHT KILL ME!

Me: that must have been pent up for a while. I won't kill him, though reviews are nice! (o,o) (still loving the panda!)

Robin groaned. He had heard everyone scream, yet he felt very disconnected. It had been horrible watching their blood soak into the ground. Their anguished screams. Her red hair sticky with crimson…

No! Don't think of her. Remember what happened to Kaldur. I wish someone was here now. Robin was alone. He had been alone for at least an hour now. He had watched Infinity kick Rocket out of a plane, but he wasn't sure. He had been whipped by Poison Ivy for about 30 min. when it happened. Harley had then come in and just sang twisted versions of nursery rhymes, while hitting him with the butt of a gun every other line.

Just to say he hurt was an understatement. The only reason he wasn't screaming his head off was because his throat was too raw from various toxins to make a sound. He was lying limply on the floor. He wasn't even tied up.

"Oh! Blunder Boy! Or do you prefer Boy Blunder? How are you? I hope everyone has been hospital to you." Robin groaned as the words reached his ears. Even if it hurt to scream, he was pretty sure this man, if you could even call him that, would make him do it.

"No answer for your Uncle J? How Rude!" the mock insult tone that Joker put on gave Robin a headache, not that he noticed.

"Oh poor birdy, poor poor birdy. Why don't I make you feel better?" Joker came over to Robin and picked up his head. Robin's eyes flickered open. If robin had had the strength, he would have jumped at how close the Joker was to his face. Robin did feel his insides go cold.

"I'm good." Robin got out. His heart was still pounding. Joker could tell because Robin's multiply wounds suddenly increased in blood flow.

"Oh, don't worry; I'm not at all like Penguin." Joker's lip curled in a sneer.

"I'm much worse." Then Joker laughed and laughed. Robin's gut twisted, he actually felt he was going to throw up.

Joker lifted Robin into a sitting position. Most of Robin's weight was being supported by Joker. Robin hated that.

"Let me go." He tried to put force into his words, but he was unable to with the amount of pain in his body. Joker put on a sad face. It was twice as scary as his laughing face.

"Oh, they hurt you too much! What am I going to do?" Joker's eyes lit up. He smiled ear to ear, literally.

Robin's uniform was torn and bloody, gashes and strips of clothing were what covered most of him. Robin thought this humiliation was part of the torture. Joker unbuttoned and removed the little bit of Robin's shirt that was left. Robin felt his brain go fuzzy.

No, I have to focus. I can't give up. He felt so exhausted. Joker had moved Robin so Robin was leaning against the Joker's chest.

Stay alert! He was actually pretty comfortable.

Focus on the pain; it will keep you alert and as ready as you can be! A sharp jab in his shoulder and the pain was receding.

"It is always a good idea to have some morphing on you." Joker laughed.

Well, there goes that plan… Robin's eyelids felt heavy.

No, focus… just focus… on what? It's warm, cozy… No! But… I got to…

"Hohoho! Don't fall asleep Boy Blunder! I haven't even started!" Joker, standing up, pulled Robin up with him. Robin had to lean heavily on Joker to stand.

No! It is better to fall down than rely on this thing! Robin leaned into Joker more. Joker laughed, seeing the boy's losing battle with himself.

Joker picked up Robin bridal style, just then Robin heard a beeping. It was quiet, but it was there. Joker then walked a little ways to a catwalk.

"Now, Robby, tell me, do you feel safe?" Joker's voice was laughing.

"No." Robin croaked out. He could never feel safe with such strong arms supporting him, making sure and cracked ribs weren't put under pressure…

"No!" Robin tried to roll out, but a cracked rib bumped into Joker's arm. Robin gasped and Joker tightened his hold.

"Now Robby boy, I don't like liars." Joker sneered. He started laughing as Robin struggled to get out.

Robin hated this, he needed to get out. These weren't protective arms they were preventive! Robin did not, not, not fee; safe.

That catwalk is a good ways from the floor. Maybe I shouldn't struggle; I mean he wouldn't drop me, would he? Robin stopped struggling. He was finding it hard to think and move at the same time. Joker laughed and rearranged Robin so that Robin's head leaned into his chest. Robin felt drowsy.

"No" he whispered, still trying to fight, but why?

"Dammit." Robin cursed. His head felt like someone was attacking it with bowling balls. Attacking his thought, his memories, his knowledge, his senses…

"Dammit." He said again, feeling ready to cry.

"Let me go!" he started struggling again.

"Why? You'll only drop fifty feet to you r sure death." Joker said smiling his sick smile.

"You! Let me go!" Robin struggled harder, but he was really to weak to do anything. "I know what you're trying to do it won't work!" Robin gasped; his ribs were defiantly more than cracked. Joker sighed and Infinity walked out of the shadows.

"Oh, yes. You are very smart. It is easier to breach the mind when it feels safe, as its guard is low. You are amazing and protecting your mind, I've been trying to get in ever since we captured you. Sadly, physical resistance controls the mental resistance. I merely had to wear both down. You watched, heard, and felt a little bit of what happened to your friends. You are physically exhausted. Now you are weak with drugs that hinder the mind too. Just relax, it hurts less that way." Robin was shocked to hear Infinity say that.

"Like you care." He spat, but she was right. Her attack hadn't stopped, and his fighting was much weaker now. He focused on the beeping that only he seemed to hear. Infinity shook her head.

"I do care. You are good material. I've been watching you since I came to this realm. You are perfect, strong, limber, high stamina, smart, and creative. You are the best meal I could find hear." She smiled, revealing long white fangs. Robin paled. He hadn't realized what he had been doing, but he was pushing himself into Joker's arms more and more.

"Look, you are done. You even go to your enemy to save yourself. I will no longer hold back!" Her black eyes glowed, Robin found a way to scream and he pushed his hands over his ears. He curled into Joker's chest while Joker laughed insanely.

"I love it, I love it! What about you Batsy? What about YOU?" Joker laughed and laughed. Robin heard eth beeping again, and saw Harley step out with a camera.

The beeping…

Ha! Got you! Pain exploded in Robin's head. He screamed again, clutching his hair, his body stiff. He had let his guard slip, and now she would get whatever she wanted unless he could stop her.

"Plecati demon. Plecati demon. Plecati demon." He muttered over and over again. He could tell Harley was right next to him, filming his broken body. He felt a crack in his head. As if his skull had actually been cracked open.

Joker laughed and spun around as Robin's blood stained his clothes.

"I love it! I LOVE IT!" he chanted over and over. Robin was white as a sheet. His chanting got weaker and weaker.

"Yes!" Infinity yelled. Robin suddenly slumped in Joker's arms.

"Oh! Whadya learn?" He asked. He dropped Robin's limp, lifeless body on the catwalk.

"How does this sound. Infinity turned to the camera.

"Barry Allen, Nice to meet the real you! Remember when you flashed you pretty teeth at me?" Infinity started to laugh. Joker just stared at her.

"Really, that's all you got?" He said.

"Hell no! I've also 'met' J'hn and M'gan. He is very stubborn. Don't worry. In a few hours I will have everything. I have won you see! He is defenseless now! Harley get that camera out of my face. Wait, Jason, come find me will you?" She smiled evilly, picked up Robin and threw his body over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Drops of Robin's blood dripped onto her body and the floor.

Jason paled when the video ended. They had just received it, and watched it. It was horrible.

'I can't decide which is worse, Infinity hitting on Jason, or Joker trying to be caring." Roy said.

"Doesn't matter." Jason said. "I have their location. According to some of my… contacts, Joker got his hands on a huge airship. The ones you can live in for a long time. They move slowly, don't show up on radar and it can take years before you have to fill them up with gas or air."

"So, how do we find them?" Wally asked.

"I think I can find him.' Megan whispered. Everyone turned to look at her.

"Because we are close friends, I can locate his consciousness even if he doesn't want me to. I can do that with anyone on the team. I don't think He'd like that though."

"Megan, why can J'hn not do this?" Batman asked. His voice was cold, the teens shivered.

"Because He is not a close friend of Robin's. I can't assure you I could find him, but I'll look for him. It'd be easier if I knew his real name…" Megan glanced at Jason and Batman. Batman waited five seconds; five seconds spent carefully analyzing his decision. He nodded. Megan received a thought and a name popped into her head. She tried not to scream it aloud in shock.

"Oh-OK." Her voice was shaky. She sent her thoughts out. Because she was stronger than J'hn she didn't need Robin conscious, but she did need him to have brain activity. That is why this scared her, she knew what was in Robin's mind, and she didn't think she could beat it in a fight. She breathed deeply and squeaked seconds later.

"You found him?" Batman asked.

"Yeah, they're, he is right above us!"

Plecati demon means be gone Demon in Romani.

WILL THEY SAVE ROBIN!

Robin: That was defiantly not Raspberry lollipops.

Me: Shouldn't you be in a coma like state battling for sanity and the identity of you friends and family?

Robin: … I'll be back.

Anyway, hope it is still good!

Love
