"Ivy," Batman growled as he landed on the top of he police station, "The Bat Signal is for the police to use, not you."
Sauntering toward him, Ivy stopped just a few feet away from him, "I know where she is." She spoke, placing her hands on her hips.
Reaching out, Batman gripped her roughly by the shoulders, "Tell me where!" He demanded, shaking her.
"I saw her through the plants," She said slowly, flicking her hair to one side, "with the Joker, Scarecrow and Harley."
Throwing her to the ground, Batman towered over her, "For God Sake just tell me where!" He yelled.
"Charming." She grunted, standing up. "You know that motel out in the woods?"
"East end?"
"There." Ivy smiled, "If I were you I'd get there fast."
Nodding, Batman turned his back to her, "I will."
As he was about to jump, a hand gently grasped his hand, "Batman..." Ivy said softly, "T-Tell her I'm sorry."
Letting go of her hand, he looked over his shoulder at her, "That's a little out of character for you, Ivy."
Sighing, Ivy bowed her head, "I do have the ability to feel you know." She said slowly, "And right now I feel pretty low."
"So you should." Batman growled before leaping off the edge of the building.
Groaning, Selina lifted her heavy eyelids, feeling the sharp pain shoot through her head, then continue to ripple through her aching body until she was shuddering with agony at even the slightest movement. She lay still for a while, no sure how long she'd been unconscious or how she'd gotten into this room. The only thing she could remember was Hush attacking her, strangling her until her vision blurred and he lungs burned; then he still didn't stop; he still beat her until she could no loner gather the strength to put up any fight at all, and even that didn't stop him from carrying on. She couldn't quite remember when she's passed out, all she could gather from that time was the crippling pain the entire was through, which never seemed to end, it was always there in the back of her mind, whether she was conscious or not.
Whimpering, she pushed herself up, her arms shaking from her weight, "O-Oh God..." She murmured, her head spinning.
"Have a nice nap, kitty-cat?" A male voice chuckled.
Inhaling shakily, she turned her head slowly to see Hush stood by the door, leaning against the wall as he smirked at her. "R-Relaxing..." She breathed.
Staggering over to her, he gripped her hair in his hand and yanked her head up to face him. "Good. So are you ready for round two?"
The sentence unnerved her; she expected him to ask for his money, or simply mock her, but he obviously wanted her to suffer even more. "W-What?" She stammered, her eyes wide.
"Oh," His smile tore through her, "you didn't think it was over, did you?"
The mock sympathy in his voice shook her as she stared into his scarred face. She couldn't deny that looking up at Bruce Wayne's face was hurting her almost as much as the torture she'd been through, despite the fact she knew it wasn't him, she still couldn't help but feel her insides crumble as the face of the man she loved twisted into a scarred, sadistic stranger who only wanted to cause her pain. "H-Hush..." She choked, "I-I'll give you y-your money back, I-I swear..."
"Too late Kitty." He hissed.
Batman rushed through the trees until he reached the clearing leading up to the motel. He didn't pause once as he sprinted up to the doors and broke it down with his shoulder. Once inside he was ambushed by a group of well built men. He struggled as he threw one of them off his back, then turned to see around ten of the charging at him in the dim light.
"Someone get the boss!" One of them yelled, as he ran at Batman, who easily tossed him to one side.
Another one of them backed away from Batman, "I'll go!"
Batman gripped a red haired thug by the throat as he dodged the blows f the other men, "Where is he!"
"W-Who?" The thug choked.
"Hush!" He roared, throwing the thug at two other men running at him, "Where is he!"
"Now, now Kitty, how about some surgery?" Hush grinned as he pinned Selina down.
"N-No..." Selina sobbed weakly, "P-Please d-d-don't."
Pulling out a pocket Knife, Hush held it above her chest, "Don't worry honey, we might not have any anaesthetic, but it shouldn't hurt too much."
Selina thrashed around as he pulled her catsuit down, but he kept her firmly held down with one hand, while the other rested the tip of the blade on her scar. "D-Don't..."
"Aww look, you even have guidelines." He sneered as the knife sliced her skin. She screamed as he pressed a little harder, cutting deeper, "Slow and steady wins the race..." he chuckled as he removed the knife from the small incision, "And I have all day to spend slicing you open."
The door suddenly burst open as a man ran into the room. "Boss! It's Batman, he's here!"
Batman was breathing heavily as he looked at the men surrounding him, most of them injured. "Now, Where is he?" He growled.
There was no answer.
Kicking a man in the stomach, Batman looked around again, "Where is he?" He hissed.
"I'm right here." A voice suddenly spoke.
"Hush." Batman grunted.
Laughing, Hush stepped a little closer, bandages ones again hiding his face, "It's been a while."
"What have you done with Selina?" He muttered in response.
"It's always the same with you," Hush smiled, reaching into his pocket, "straight to the point."
Clenching his fists, Batman glared at Hush, "I'm not playing around anymore!"
"Neither am I." Hush said, pulling a gun from his pocket. "I didn't appreciate being interrupted Batman; Selina and I were having such a wonderful time."
"What have you done to her!" Batman roared.
Chuckling, Hush circled Batman, never averting his aim, "Oh, we've had a good talk...Of course, we did have a lot of issues to resolve." He paused, staring at Batman, "And I was just about to give her some medical attention when you dropped by."
"I swear to God if you've hurt her, I'll-" Batman started before a gunshot cut him off.
