Robin felt like his heart stopped mid-beat, and he felt like he was going to die. Right now he was being pushed between a rock and a hard place, he could tell Crawford what he wanted to hear and get out of this hell hole.
Or...
He could keep his mouth shut, and piss Crawford off even more and be mercilessly raped by an old man. Robin knew Crawford wasn't bluffing, and Crawford wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty in order to get what he wanted, and when he wanted it.
Crawford laughed and pushed Robin down, "Well?" He whispered in his ear, "What's it going to be love?" Crawford's grip tightened on Robin's wrists, as he pinned him down.
Robin struggled weakly, he knew this was going to be the end. He couldn't just spill league secrets just because he didn't want to get raped! He took a deep breath, "I'd rather kill myself then tell you anything you fucking bastard!" He growled, "You're fucking insane!"
Crawford let out a loud and amused laugh, and he slapped Robin's rear. (Im so sorry Robin ;-;) "I was secretly hoping you would say that, Pretty Boy." He purred, as he ran his hands down Robin's leg. "You are just so much fun, you cries are so...satisfying."
Robin clenched his teeth, and attempted to get out of Crawford's iron grip. "It doesn't have to end this way, Pretty Boy." Crawford said smiling as he pushed Robin back down, nearly crushing the boy. "Just tell me what I want to hear. And I will stop."
Robin growled, "Fuck you! I'll never tell you anything, you're a fucking messed up old bastard!"
Crawford sighed and shook his head, "You just don't know when to shut up do you, you're doing yourself more harm then good, boy." Crawford then let out a small laugh, "Well I suppose we shall get started...you can always tell me when you have enough."

Artemis paced back and forth in the Mountains living room, her phone in her hand. She had tried to call Wally about 15 times in the past hour and it kept going to voice mail. "This is starting to piss me off." She growled throwing her phone onto the couch. She didn't have time to waste, she couldn't just wait around for Wally to pick up his phone. Robin needed her, and she wanted to get to him as soon as possible.
She jumped slightly when her phone went off, she darted over to her phone and quickly answered it. "Hello?"
"Hey Artemis."
Artemis smiled, it was Wally. "Get to the Mountain right now."
There was a small pause, "I'll be there in a few seconds." Wally replied.
"T-" Before Artemis could even reply there was a swooshing sound and Wally was standing in front of her, the phone still in his hand.
"Here" He said smiling.
Artemis threw her phone down, and grabbed his. "This is no time for smiling and goofing off." She hissed, "Robin is in trouble and I wasted valuable time trying to get a hold of you, when we could have already helped Robin!"
Wally's facial expression changed from happy to confused, "In trouble?" He asked, "What do you mean?" His eyes widened, "WHATHAPPENEDPLEASETELLMEHEISOKAY!"
"Wally slow down!" Artemis shouted getting the panicking speedsters attention. "If you can repeat what you just said a little slower, I'd be able to answer your questions." She grumbled, she was beyond annoyed. But she couldn't really blame Wally for panicking, Robin was his best friend. And Artemis knew she'd react the same way if she were in Wally's shoes.
"What happened, is he okay!" Wally cried out, "Please tell me he's okay!"
Artemis bit her lip, "Well you know how you got captured when we went to that cabin?" She asked sheepishly.
Wally nodded, not really liking where this was going. "Yea...what about it?"
Artemis bit her lip, "Well after Robin got you out, well I kind of got ambushed along with his friend Barbara, then Robin did something and got himself caught so he could trade his freedom for me and his friends..."
"...How...do...you...know...Barbara?" He asked extremely confused.
"Well in the process of escaping Robin's identity was sort of revealed by the kidnapper who ended up being this old guy named Daniel Crawford." Artemis blurted out, "So then me and Barbara got knocked out and woke up at the docks, and I need to get back to where Robin is so I can help him out, and then I remembered that you knew where the building is a-"
"And you want my help finding it..so we can save Robin before the league does." Wally said finishing Artemis's sentence.
She bit her lip, "Pretty accurate, im not trying to find him before the league. I just need to get there before anything terrible happens." She paused, "There was something really off and unsettling about Crawford, I got the pedo vibe from him. And I don't want Robin to be around him longer then he has to be."
Wally nodded and disappeared for a second, then appeared back and he was back as Kid Flash. "Well lets not waste anytime then, Robin needs us."
Artemis felt a small smile appear on her face, and she ran off to her room to get suited up. Robin needed them, and she wasn't going to make him wait any longer. Who knows what he was going through.

Crawford let out a rough laugh as he pulled out of Robin roughly and pushed him aside. He heard Robin let out a muffled cry, the boy was persistent. And after about two hours he still refused to spill any league secrets. And in all honestly Crawford didn't think HE could go much longer. And He really didn't expect Robin to be able to last this long, but the boy was hell-bent on keeping his mouth shut, and Crawford knew Robin was indeed trained to take his life in order to hide the valuable knowledge he held.
But Crawford wasn't going to lie, he was glad the boy was persistent. It made all of this much more entertaining.
"Well, guess you aren't going to say anything." Crawford growled as he stood up and let out an annoyed sigh, "But this doesn't mean im going to let you off easy."
Robin didn't reply, he only let out a weak and pained groan.
"Lets make a...more suitable deal." He grabbed Robin by his hair and pulled him harshly in a sitting position, causing Robin to let out a pained yelp. "You see, I'm in a...bad situation at the moment." Crawford said frowning, "And I need my men to successfully gather a large amount of money." A small smile appeared on Crawford's face. "In order for it to be successful I need a good hacker, and you seem to be the best candidate."
Crawford smiled, "Either you do what I say and help me out, or I will sell you in order to get the money I need. I'm sure there are thousands of people out there who would like a piece of you"
