AN: Sorry that I love cliffhangers so much, but I do have a reason. If I don't write one, I don't have the feeling that I need to write, but if I do I want to write again as soon as possible. So you can call me a monkey or a troll all you want, I'd rather write cliffhangers, okay? Thanks for all the reviews, I think it might just be me, but they seem to be getting funnier as the story goes on.
See, if I did own Young Justice there would be more of it on right now, but there isn't so I don't, oh well.
"Do you think that'll work?" Bobby asked after hearing Dick's plan.
"Of course, we just need to time it right." The Boy Wonder answered, not taking his eyes off of the madman below. "Be ready for my signal."
"What are you two doing?" Mark accused.
"Nothing really." Dick lied easily.
"Just don't get hurt." Mark sighed, he knew there would be no way to stop whatever those two were doing.
"Go now." The young hero ordered already springing into action.
Dick flipped across the abyss to the other platform quickly and then signaled for his friend to go. They both jumped off the platform with a single flip and then aimed for the little green speck a hundred feet below. Just as he hoped, everyone was too focused on the crazy man to notice two falling figures until it was too late.
Joker looked up from the screams just as the two boys hit the net. Dick's plan worked perfectly, they both got on leg through one of the holes in the net, and the other on the rope to prevent them from falling completely through; the force of two bodies hitting the safety feature at exactly the same time made it cave in fast enough to make the two feet colliding with the man's face enough to knock him down before snapping back up. The net flung the two high into the air, at the height of their arc they shared a high five and then flopped back to land the normal way on the net.
The two rolled off the net to their left and landed right in front of Kid Flash, who immediately asked, "Are you guys okay? That was amazing, something my teammate would've thought of." He sent a quick glance towards Dick to tell him the secret was out.
"We're fine it was totally aster…" Dick started to say.
"That wasn't very nice of you to hit little old Uncle J." Joker interrupted, wiping a bit of blood from his mouth as he stood up.
"Sorry, I don't feel the need to be nice to someone who is… hmm I don't know, evil!" Dick quipped.
"Why little Dickie boy, haven't you learned that flattery gets you nowhere?" Joker laughed.
"What do you want Joker?" Kid Flash demanded.
"Just to help little Dickie here see his parents again, or have Wayne grovel for his life at my feet." Joker said maniacally.
"That's not going to happen." Superboy growled from behind the madman.
"Oh no? And who's going to stop me, a few poorly trained kids?" Joker challenged.
"No, a highly trained team." Aqualad answered, stepping into the ring.
"And two extras." Bobby added defiantly. The speedster looked over in surprise and made eye contact with the Boy Wonder. The two had a quick silent conversation before the red head nodded slightly before looking determinedly back at the Joker.
"So sad, I don't even get to play with the Boy Blunder." Joker said sadly, "Oh well it'll be like a game, keep away." The sadistic laugh followed before the man sprung into action. He launched straight for Dick, only to be intercepted by a certain speedster.
Kid Flash got in a few quick punches before he had to spin away to avoid a knife. Aqualad was positioned between the madman and his prey next, he had an better time avoiding the knife. As always, Joker got impatient and struck a low blow, immediately grounding the young hero. With a roar, Conner charged forward; faking a yawn, Joker sidestepped the boy letting him collide instead with a recovering Aqualad. Miss M. attempted to take over the man's mind, but found herself overwhelmed by the madness; in a desperate act to save her mind from becoming just as convoluted, she forced herself into a resting state.
Joker thought his way was clear, but forgot about the blonde of the group. An arrow blew up on contact with the Joker's face, but he quickly recovered, swinging his head to find the girl he was met with a fist to the face. Artemis continued pounding on the man, not letting him recover but she didn't notice his hand rising to his shirt. Joker squeezed the flower always on his jacket, releasing toxin into the air around Artemis' face. She fell down, laughing uncontrollably.
"Ah, now Dickie, are you ready to see your parents again after so long?"
