A/N: Hey guys, here's another chapter. I've been having a major writers block and I really want you guys to tell me what you thought about this chapter because I'm not sure it's as good as the other ones. So tell me what you think :)


In the Joker's hideout…

Aaliyah stared down at the floor. She couldn't move, having being freezing for the past… well she couldn't remember how long she had been here. She couldn't feel her hands, and her legs had collapsed under her. The door burst open again, making Aaliyah look away. "Good morning Bat brat!" Aaliyah inhaled sharply, hearing the voice of the one and only Joker. Even though the Bats never showed it, every time they encountered the crazy man, they always felt the slightest bit of fear. "Awww are you cold?" Poison Ivy said, walking up to her. "Don't worry, we're transferring you. First day of villain training love." She said, grabbing Aaliyah's arm. Aaliyah cringed, feeling the bruises. Suddenly, she felt the chains release from her hands and legs and she fell, on the ground, hard. All the pain rushed through her body and she tried rolling into a ball for warmth. She was too numb to move or speak.

"Oh look at that, a Bat too weak to move or smart talk. It's been a while since I saw that." Aaliyah managed to turn her head to look up at Joker's pale white face.

"Come on then, time to move." Joker said. Aaliyah felt a pair of arms pick her up and she was swung over Joker's shoulder. She wanted to move, she really did, but she just couldn't. She could feel movement, but the coldness never left her body. It was humiliating. If Bats saw this… she thought. This was the first time since her family left her that she felt absolutely helpless, but she had to keep her mind strong to keep the darker side of her calm. I wouldn't be easy, as at the current moment, she wanted to just die. She had lost so much blood from the stab wound on her side that her vision would go blurry at random times and her arms were so painful it felt like she had pulled all the muscles in her body at once.

Just as she started gaining feeling in her hands again, she was slammed down onto a metal chair with clamps for her arms and legs. Classic, she thought. Seriously, her body couldn't gain any strength until now? "You guys really need more comfortable furniture. I mean I know you're trying to keep me in uh 'good' condition, but you're doing a really bad job on that." She said, managing a smirk. Joker narrowed his eyes and turned away. "The thing is girlie, we're weakening you just to get into your brain.. and now that you're regaining your snarky attitude, well it's time to get into that pretty little head of yours." Joker said, letting out a laugh. He turned to Poison Ivy and nodded. "Ivy, bring Psimon in and stay outside with Riddler." He said. Poison Ivy liked disappointed. "Why do I have to stay outside? I want to see the Bat Brat suffer!" She whined.

"IVY!" Joker yelled, agitated. Poison Ivy backed away quickly and ran out the door. Once that happened, it was silence. Just the two of them in the room. Aaliyah's breath deepened and she was trying to think of a way out of the situation. Suddenly, the door opened. "Hello dear Delta! Pleasure to finally meet you! Ready for a great time?" A voice yelled. Aaliyah looked up to see Psimon. Shit, she thought to herself.

Psimon moved so that he was in front of her. He looked at Joker and nodded. "You know, it's been a while. You would think the Bats would find you by now." He muttered, walking around. What was he getting to? "Makes us think that he doesn't want to find you." As he said that, Delta flashed him a glare. No… she thought to herself. "Girlie, haven't you noticed? Don't you think that the rest of the Bat brats are jealous? After all, Batman favorites his only girl 'daughter' if you could even call yourself that. They're probably just dealing with little miss perfect just so Bats won't kill them." Joker said, smiling. Delta gulped and her breathing got heavier. That's not true. It's not. She thought to herself. "Or how about your little friends. Don't you think they want to lead too? Don't you ever think of what they'll eventually do to you?" Joker turned to her and grabbed her chin. "Dearie, they want you off the team. You're just a distraction." He said. Delta's breath hitched. The one thing she feared the most was rejection and failure. She tried to think it wasn't true but what he said just sounded so real. Suddenly, she heard Psimon's voice enter her head. Keep the powers hidden Delta. Don't get mad. She thought. "Or how about your little boyfriend? The speedster right? Dash?" Joker questioned. Delta's eyes widened behind her mask. No… "Please stop." She managed to get out. Joker smiled his signature Joker smile.

"Don't you think you're just a distraction to him?" She could feel the anger build up in her and she started to flinch. "He could reach his full potential, but you're holding him back." He could feel the control in her mind wash away. The fact that Psimon was in her head didn't help either. "You're just a distraction Delta. They never loved you anyways. You're just a freak." That's what broke her. "You're just a freak." That's what her dad said before leaving her. All her control washed away. No… no, no, no. "That's it. Slip away. Use your powers." She heard Psimon say. She didn't know what had gotten into her - she listened. "Agh!" She yelled as she stared Joker down. Joker collapsed and suddenly, all the hate and anger washed over her. She couldn't remember anything besides the fact that she wasn't wanted. It was all hate… then silence.

Delta looked up slowly and smirked. "Huh, you know, if they don't like me, might as well join you guys. I've always wanted to see what it was like to be evil." Delta said, looking at the two villains. Joker let out his infamous laugh. "Yes!" He shouted. He looked at Psimon. "We did it. A Bat… under our control." He said. Simon smiled and Joker pulled out a camera. Snap! He took a picture and rote something on it. Delta's restraints loosened and she stood up and stretched. "Great to be out. Speaking of which, I think I need a new costume, a change in color perhaps? There's a lot of blood on this one." She said, walking up to Joker. Joker nodded.

"Let's go then." Joker said, motioning out the door. He looked at Psimon as Delta walked away.

"Get this to that boy, Dash." He said, holding out a picture of Delta.

In the mountain…

Matthew sped around the mountain, trying to look for Jimmy who had taken his laptop. Bruce had given them the time off and the Justice Leaguers had a mission somewhere in South Africa. "Jimmy! Goddamit why are you so good at hiding?" He yelled. Suddenly, he heard a voice in his head. "Go outside." It said. For some reason, he listened. Jimmy peaked out of the air vent he was hiding in and saw Matthew change direction. Just as Matt reached the door, he saw a piece of paper. What? He thought. As he picked it up, his eyes grew wide. It was a picture… of Delta, bruised and battered. Of course, it was hard to look at. The stab would on her side was still open and she was bleeding from different places. He started shaking. What made him shake though was this look she had in her eyes. A look of hatred, however, that got hidden by the blood. Blood writing - spelling out the words 'No more distractions'. Matthew shook his head. No. This couldn't be. Jimmy then appeared right next to him, which made him jump. "What's wrong?" Jimmy asked. Matthew slowly handed him the photo, not looking up. He was feeling furious.

"Oh my god." Jimmy muttered. He shook Matt, which got his attention. "Matt. Get this to Batman, you're the fastest out of all of us. I'll – I'll tell the others." Jimmy said. Matthew was still in shock so Jimmy shook him hard. "Ah what?" Matthew said, blinking.

"Matthew! Run! Get this to Batman! Now!" He yelled, shoving the picture at Matthew. Without saying anything else, Jimmy ran to the living room to tell the others, while Matthew ran… faster than he ever had before… to the Wayne Manor.

At the Wayne Manor:

Matthew got to the Wayne Manor, the shoes he was wearing heating up. He wasn't wearing his uniform. He knocked on the door, Hard. BANG BANG BANG! The sound of the metal echoed through the yard. Alfred opened the door to see a panting Matthew. He knew Matthew knew about the Wayne's but the speedster this tired concerned him. "Master Matthew! Come in, what's wrong?" He asked, helping the young man into he manor.

"Alfred, Batman…Dick…please…" He panted, clutching the picture in his hand. Alfred nodded and hurried away. Matthew caught his breath and looked at the sight before him. Deciding to sit down on a couch, he thought about what 'no distractions' could mean, however his thoughts were interrupted by footsteps running and in burst Bruce and Dick in casual clothes. "Matt what is it?" Bruce asked.

"I - uh Iwasrunningthenavoiceandandpictureanditwasdelta…" Matthew said quickly. Dick put a hand on his shoulder. "Woah, slow down." He said.

"I was running and there was a voice and it said to go outside then I got to the door then - then I got this picture…" He said, holding the picture up. Bruce took it and let out a breath. He looked at Dick. "Dick, stay here and talk to him. I need to see where this came from." He said, a glare on his face. Dick nodded and sat next to Matthew. The concern on his face wasn't masked by anything and he dug his face into his palms. "Matt… what? Who gave this to you?" He asked.

"I don't know. It was just outside." He muttered. Dick nodded, trying to keep calm.

"Ok. Did you tell the team?" Dick asked. Matthew nodded, remembering Jimmy saying he was going to do it. Suddenly, Dick sat up and gasped. "What is it?" Matthew asked.

"I know what they did… no… no no no no!" He yelled. He turned to Matthew. "Matt get back to the mountain. Bat and I will be there in a while. Get the team in their uniforms. We need to prepare you all for what's gonna happen. We need a plan. Be ready in 2 hours." He said, standing up. Matthew trusted his decision and nodded. He sprinted out and ran to the Mountain.

Dick sprinted to the Bat Cave where Bruce was putting coordinates onto a map. "Bruce! I know what they did." He yelled. Bruce turned around.

"So do I…" He hit his fist on the table. "I was too late." He muttered. Dick placed a hand on his shoulder. "Bruce." Bruce didn't look up. "Dad!" He yelled. Bruce looked at him concern on his face. "We need to hurry and formulate a plan - a plan involving the younger team." Dick said.

"They're not ready." Bruce said, putting the coordinates onto his watch.

"They're her team. They're ready, believe me." Dick said. Silence. Bruce stood in silence. "No, the last thing I want is for more of them to get hurt." Bruce said. Dick sighed.

"Bruce, you need to let them go with us. Seeing how Matthew reacted he's not going to want to get left behind." Dick reasoned. Bruce nooded.

"Alright. Get your things. We're going to the mountain. We need to explain that whatever happens, we don't hurt her as bad as them." Bruce said, still looking down at the picture. Dick nodded and ran to his room to put his costume on. They were going to get her sister back. No matter what. Bruce looked at the photo. The last time he saw one as bad as this… it was when Jason… when Jason died. He wouldn't let that happen again, especially not to the girl all the Bats loved like a real sister and a real daughter.
