When Diana woke up, a very cold breeze was the first thing that hit her. She shivered, finally noticing just how cold the place they were at was. Wait, wasn't she supposed to be at the museum? Yeah, she was supposed to meet up with Falcon and Robin, then they would head towards an ice cream shop for free ice cream. Why was it so dang cold?
She looked around the room, to see all blue. She narrowed her eyes, able to see that they were in some kind of freezer. A giant one at that. There was a large window high up, but she didn't see anything outside of it.
"Wher-re ar-re we?" She heard someone ask from her side.
She looked down, to find Oracle and Robin bundled up together, both of them shivering. "I don't know, guys." She answered them.
They both shivered, then they heard a grunt. They all turned to see Falcon running up to the door and trying to slam it down, only to fall back on his butt. "Falcon, stop that!" Robin told him, worried for his brother.
Falcon turned to them, eyes wide and looking crazy, and shook his head. "We're getting out of here!" And the twelve year old renewed his actions.
Diana sighed, then looked down to find Red Bat. "When did he get here?" She asked her siblings.
Both of them shook their heads, not knowing how to answer, and suddenly a bright spotlight was on them. The kids all cringed at it, but they felt somewhat warmer with the light directing on them.
"Welcome, Miny Bats!" The insane voice of the Joker told them, making all of them scowl slightly.
"Where are we?" Falcon yelled, speeding over to his siblings, standing in front of them as if to protect them.
"Aww, you're no fun!" Harley remarked, then they heard a squeal.
"Don't touch the mike, Harley! It's my time to shine!" They heard the Joker whisper shout, a whimper, then the clown was back to them. "As I was saying before I was interrupted, Welcome to the state of the art Freeze-a-torium in downtown Gotham!"
Now the kids were confused. "There's no freeze-a-what's it in Gotham." Robin told them. "I'm sure Batman would've told us something about it."
"You hear that, clown?!" Falcon yelled. He was never clear-headed when he was kidnapped. He always hated being taken away. "We're calling your bluff!"
There was a heavy sigh from the speakers, then a new voice took over. "Right you are, children. There is no freeze-a-torium. This is a warehouse, renovated to my liking to become my new home."
The voice chilled them all to the bone, for they knew that nothing good happened whenever Mr. Freeze was around. "What do you want with us, Freeze?" Diana asked, standing up and covering Falcon's mouth before he spouted an insult to him.
There was a low chuckle, then Freeze spoke again. "You're one of the newest brats, huh?" He asked. "I never knew archery was a Gotham thing. I thought it was strictly Star City."
Diana glared at him, not liking the fact that there was a specific weapon type for Gotham, and said, "And I thought using ice for a weapon was strictly for Central, ya bully!"
The chuckles stopped abruptly, then there was a yell and some scuffling, and Joker's voice came back unto the speakers. "Bad news, kiddies! It seems that the big bad Bat is on his way!"
They were all worried because of the joy in his voice.
"What are you going to do to us?" Robin asked, shivering somewhat in his space cuddled between a knocked out Red Bat and fully conscious Oracle.
"We are going to do nothing to you, little bird!" Joker said, but they knew better than to believe the villains would let them go. "We're going to let the elements get ta ya!"
All of their eyes widened because of this, then the speakers cut off, signaling that their conversation was now over.
"What are we going to do?" Oracle asked Falcon, who was now seething.
He really wasn't good in hostage situations. "We have to get out." Diana told her.
She nodded, then looked down as Red Bat groaned awake. "I could teleport us out."
"Teleport us out of where?" Red Bat asked groggily, not sure what was going on.
"The freeze-a-torium." Robin answered, not smiling for once in his life.
"Wait, what?" Red Bat asked, actually wondering what his siblings had done while he was out of it.
Diana sighed, placed a comforting hand on Falcon's shoulder, and said, "We were knocked out by Freeze, kidnapped, and now we're in a meat locker. The only one here that's new to our little patrol group is you."
Red Bat nodded, then his eyes widened as he shot up, looking around wildly. "What's wrong, Red Bat?" Diana asked, worried about her brother.
"Rocket!" He called, seeming to ignore her question.
"What about Rocket? Weren't you with her on patrol?" Oracle asked.
"What did you do?" Falcon growled. He was highly protective of all the girls in the family.
"Rocket! She was with me when we answered your call!" Red Bat told them.
Their eyes widened as Red Bat continued to look around, searching wildly for his sister. "Wait, if she was with you, what happened? Why don't you know where she is?"
Red Bat actually stopped at this and seemed to blush, and answered meekly. "I-I slipped on ice and blacked out. I have no idea what happened with her."
They all stayed quiet in this, their anger and fear slowly building as they thought about what could be happening right at this moment. But, Falcon cut the tension short quickly. "We won't help her if we freeze in here. First of all, we have to get out of here. Anyone have their utility belts?"
All of the kids but Diana went to their waists, only to find nothing. "Nothing." Robin huffed.
"Those psychos most probably stole them." Oracle told them.
"Diana, you have anything in your jacket?" Falcon asked, deciding to ignore the youngest of their team.
Diana brightened at this, and opened her jacket, to show them the stash of weapons and useful things she kept in there. "Oh, Joker's so going to regret doing this."
"Ah, you're no more fun, Batsy!" Joker exclaimed crazily as he barely dodged a fierce uppercut from the Dark Knight.
Batman had arrived only a few minutes before, along with Tempest, Speedy, and a new adult hero, who seemed to love fighting off the goons as the others attacked the main villains.
"Where are they?" Batman growled, faking to his left and grabbing Joker's neck with his right hand.
Joker only giggled insanely, making Batman growl and hit him against the wall. Twice. Okay, four times, but can you blame him?
"Uh uh uh, Batsy. Don't want to wake the kid up." Joker told him, smiling widely.
Batman wondered what he was talking about, then looked to the side to find one of the worst things he could ever see. Raquel was tied up to a chair, with chains tying her down, bombs scattered all around her body. Luckily, she was still asleep, but that didn't calm hit down at all. Batman's eyes widened at this, but he quickly glared at Joker as the mad man cackled wildly.
"How do I defuse it?" He growled.
"Don't forget about the other kids, puddin'!" He heard Harley Quinn yell, then he looked down a window, and saw his other five children, huddled up closely together, trying to shield one another from the cold.
"Ah, Batsy. Such a hard choice. Save one child that's about to be blown to smithereens, or save the five others, slowly dying from the cold, cruel winter." The Joker mocked him, then cackled wildly.
Batman knew there wasn't much time, but he couldn't help himself. He smashed the Joker against the window that held Raquel, drawing blood from the clown, and dropped him to the floor.
"Speedy, Tempest, let King finish the rest. Get your brothers."
Freeze was gone. They never found him, and luckily, they didn't have to worry about him either. Both boys nodded, attacked Harley Quinn and knocked her out, then went to try to save his siblings.
Batman ran towards Rocket, and started to cut away at the blue wires. It's always the blue wires. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a fail safe mechanism, because the timer went from five minutes, to one minute. Batman's eyes widened at this, because it was a password bomb, which used a phone, and went for a more direct approach. He picked the locks on Rocket's body, managed to get the chains off and grab her, then ran at his top speed as the bomb hit thirty seconds.
"King, where are the kids?!" Batman asked as he passed the fighting Spartan.
"They got the other five out of the room! They are waiting for us!" King answered, throwing a goon over his shoulder, finalizing the fight.
Batman nodded, and said, "Let's get out."
And he took off running. King quickly ran after him, not sure what was going on, but not asking why he was in such a rush. Once they were in the Batmobile and on their way to the Manor, he saw the explosion in the warehouse they had just been in.
"What was-"
"Leonidas, when we get to the cave, I will need some time to speak with my chidren. Will you look for the rest and bring them down?" Batman asked in an angry voice.
He could tell that Batman was not in the mood for questions and nodded. "As quickly as I can, Batman."
Yeah, the kids may be a little screwed. Please review.
