This story will end soon. I think like in about three chapter it should end. Thanks for the reviews and hope you like this chapter.

Ideas come from the lovely Dragonsinger13. Thanks for the wonderful ideas. I couldn't have done it without you.


Bruce paced frustrated inside his home. He had no idea were the Joker was hiding and it was eating him up inside. Time was running out and it scared him of what the Joker might do to them. He looked out the window and saw Gotham's bright buildings in the distance. The city that he loved was going into ruins because of the Joker and mafia gangs alike. He was just one man, but so many people counted on him and right now Sarah and Dave needed him. He needed to be Batman.

"Master Wayne," said Alfred behind him.

"Yeah?" he asked annoyed.

"The location where the Joker is hiding has been found," he said.

Bruce turned and looked at him in disbelief. "Why didn't you say something sooner," said Bruce, quickly going to his batcave.

"But, there's something else, Master Wayne," Alfred said.

"What is it?" he said, still walking quickly.

"It seems that there is a time bomb under Miss Adams' home," he explained.

Bruce stopped and looked at him. "What?" he whispered.

Alfred nodded. "It's planted underground."

Bruce cursed under his breath and took off running to the front door of his home. He threw the windows open and started to run towards Lily's mansion. Bruce was thrown off his feet as a huge explosion overtook the manor. He watched in horror as the flames engulfed on Waterfall Manor. "LILY!" he yelled with all his might. He ran towards the burning building, but Alfred held him back. "Let me go, Alfred," he growled, trying to shake the older man off.

"Bruce," said a meekly voice to the left of him. He smiled in relief seeing Lily a few feet away.

"Lily," he said softly. She ran to him and hugged him tightly. "I was so scared that I might have lost you."

"I-I came to see you. I was worried about you and then..." Her voice trailed in a sob.

"It's OK," he said. "I won't let anyone hurt you." Bruce cupped her face and kissed her deeply. "I will sacrifice myself," he said between their lips, "to keep you safe."


Batman ran from roof top to roof top. The apartment was getting closer. How could he have been so stupid? Of course he wouldn't do this so open. Underground. Apparently they built a basement to keep their victims. He stopped at the edge of the building across from where they were. He magnified the place with his sonar and saw henchmen guarding every inch the building with rifles at hand.

Batman turned his head, picking up something. He has heard the voice before and realized who it was.

"She made a fool out of me," he heard. It was Mario Costa. "She betrayed me and now I made her pay. She's probably in a millions of pieces and ash. She learned the hard way. If I couldn't have her then no one can now."

Bastard, though Batman. He shot is gripping hook across the building. Making sure it was tight and secured, he swung to the side of the run-down apartment. It had gaping hole and barely any glass windows so it was easy to go into it without actually breaking into it. He knew there was going to be a fight and he was well prepared to kick some ass.


Sarah's heart felt like it was going to pop out of her chest. Dave and her were sweaty, filthy, and starving. She and Dave both jumped as the timer rang beside them. The Joker came around and turned off the timer, looking wickedly at them both. He pulled out his knife and slowly thought of who he should cut first. "What do you think, babe?" he asked Bubbles, who was laying on the table looking seductively at him. "The princess over here or the charmer?"

Bubbles giggled and walked towards the Joker, boots clicking while at it. "Her," she hissed, glaring at Sarah.

"Get away from her," barked Dave, but he only received a slap from Bubbles.

"Torture her, baby. I want to see him in pain. Let's see how big is their love," she spat. "You know what they: 'The best way to torture someone is to hurt the one they love'."

Sarah's eyes widened as the Joker walked her way. "Smile for me, princess," he snickered. Sarah shrieked as the blade touched her skin. "I think," he giggled, "this is going to hurt a lot." There was a blood-chill scream that came from Sarah's mouth as the blade began to dig into her skin. Dave closed his eyes, tears falling, not being able to see the horrific scene, but Bubbles snatched his head and forced his eyes open with her nails.

"Look at her," she hissed. "Doesn't she look beautiful in pain." Dave watched helpless as Sarah screamed in agony and pain. Blood flowed across her arm. He felt a sting of pain coming from his arm. He felt the same torture as her.

Sarah panted in pain. She saw the Joker grinning, his scars stretching and yellow teeth glistening. She whimpered in pain as the knife dug into her skin. Tears fell from her eyes like a waterfall. She gasped as the Joker finally pulled the bloody knife away. She slightly turned her head and saw Dave being tortured because of her pain. She would rather suffer a thousand more cuts than see him like that. She whimpered as the Joker grabbed her face, making her stare at him.

"Did it hurt?" he hissed in her ear. She growled silently and spit in his face. The Joker laughed as he wiped the spit out of his face. He then raised his hand up and slapped the taste out of Sarah's mouth. "Fucking whore," he barked.

Dave began to struggle again. "You son of a bitch. I'll kill you!"

The Joker snickered and also punched Dave on the jaw. "Stupid boy."


Lily paced irritated across the floor of Wayne Mansion. More than twenty-four hours have past and still no word from her friends or Batman. Even Bruce seemed to be missing, now when she needed him the most. She groaned angrily, wishing she could do something.

"Miss Adams," said Alfred. "Forgive me for saying this, but by any chance, do you and Master Wayne share the same nervous symptoms?"

Lily huffed. "I can't just stand here and do nothing, Alfred. My friends are being tortured and I'm here like an idiot!"

"Miss Adams, just calm yourself down," said Alfred, handing her a cup of tea.

"How can I when...? What is that?" she asked, hearing a ringing noise coming from Bruce's office. She looked at Alfred, but his face was emotionless. Before he could stop her, Lily marched into Bruce's office and noticed that the noise was coming from Bruce's computer. She looked at the computer's screen in deep concentration and saw the location of an abandoned apartment building. "What is this?" Lily looked up at Alfred. "Is this where Sarah and Dave are at?"

Alfred sighed. "Miss Adams, you need to stay here. Master Wayne gave me specific instructions."

"I don't know how Bruce go this, but we're going to talk about this when I get back," said Lily, leaving Wayne Manor.

Alfred shook his head in her stubbornness. "Hopefully, they all come back."


Lily carefully walked through the unbalanced pavement through the dark alleys of Gotham. If Bruce or Batman ever found out about this, they'll probably kill her if someone else hadn't already. She finally saw the apartment that resembled the one on Bruce's computer. She saw men guarding the building from the distance. She quickly thought of a way to sneak in. She went through the back of the apartment building, thinking that no one was there. She pushed the door open and gently closing the door behind her. There were many halls and rooms that she didn't know where to start.

"Well, hello, Beautiful," said someone behind her. She turned and saw Mario, staring daggers at her. "Looks like you escaped."

Lily shook her head in disgust. "You put the bomb there, didn't you? And now you're working for the Joker."

"With the Joker, not for, but what can I say. Your lover boy has already been through here. Beat all my men and Joker's henchmen to a pulp. I wonder how he does it," he said, stepping closer to her, but Lily moved back.

"And you're proud of that?" she asked suspiciously.

Mario smirked. "He took advantage of my men, now I'm going to take advantage of his girl," he said, grabbing Lily. Lily screamed, but he covered her mouth with his hand. She struggled against his hold and did all she could to shake him off. She moaned in pain as he slammed her into the wall behind them. "If you didn't give yourself to me freely then I'm just going to take you," he said, crushing his lips to hers.

Lily almost gagged at his touch. She opened her mouth and bit his lip as hard as she could until she drew blood. Mario yelled in pain and released her. Lily took this opportunity and kicked him where it hurt most. Mario groaned in pain. She grabbed his pistol and pointed it at him. Mario looked at her fearfully. "I told you that next time you touch me that I would kill you," she panted.

Mario shook his head. "No, please," he begged.

"But that would only make me as bad as you," she said to his relief. She took his gun and smashed it across his head, knocking him out cold. She sighed in relief, but gasped in pain as her hair was pulled back. From the corner of her eye she saw Bubbles with a snarl on her face.

"I'm sure you'll be quiet handy, Miss Rose," she growled. Lily winced and felt her eyes water from the yanking of the hair. "Come here," she ordered, dragging her across the building. They finally arrived down the basement where Lily was shocked to see Batman fighting the Joker and other henchmen. "Yoo hoo, Batman! Look what I've got," snickered Bubbles.

Batman's eyes met Lily's. "Let her go," he rasped, still trying to fight the men off.

"You don't want your friends to die, do you, Bunny," she sneered in Lily's ear. "Or Batman either, huh? Or how about that baby of yours." Lily's eyes widened when she mentioned her pregnancy. "Yes, I know all about your love child with Batman. Now, if you want to live along with your pathetic friends, you have to convince Batman to reveal himself to us and all of Gotham."

"Go to hell," hissed Lily.

"Yeah, I'll probably go there, but aren't you a bit curious who the man behind the mask is? I can tell you that he's very handsome," she whispered. Lily looked at her again. "Yep," she giggled. "I know who he is, but don't you think it'll be more fun to have him show us who he really is?"

"Fuck you," growled Lily, stomping on Bubbles foot. She shrieked in pain and let Lily go. Lily pulled her fist out and smashed it across Bubbles face. Her face connected to the wall and slumped down. Lily hissed from the pain in her hand. She looked back and Batman was still fighting. Not wasting time, she went down the hall, trying to look for the engaged couple. She past many rooms, but found no one.

Finally, she burst into one of the rooms and found Sarah and Dave tied up on chairs. Lily almost cried seeing Sarah beaten and bloody. "What did they do to you, Sarah," she sobbed.

"She's past out, Bell," grunted Dave out. Lily turned to him and immediately began to untie the rope on his arms and hands. He hissed as he rubbed the blisters on his wrists that had dry blood on them. They quickly went to Sarah as untied her. Her body slumped onto Dave as she was freed from the ropes. Dave picked her up and proceeded to carry her.

"Go, Dave," said Lily. "I have to help Batman."

"You're crazy, Bell. You can't..."

"I have to. I love him," she said, sadly.

Dave sighed. "I won't leave without you."

"Sarah needs medical attention. Please, trust me," she begged.

Dave nodded and kissed the top of Lily's head. "Be careful," he warned.

Lily nodded and quickly made her way back to the main room of the basement. Bubbles was still knocked out, but Batman was now against the wall, being held by the Joker's henchmen. "Leave," he grunted out as the Joker choked.

Lily shook her head. "No," she pulled out a gun and pointed at them.

"No!" growled Batman. "Leave now!" he ordered.

"Bunny wants to play," laughed the Joker. "Maybe we should join her with Batsy over here."

"LEAVE!" growled Batman. Lily mouthed 'I love you' to him and sprung from the place. Her feet seemed to be moving on their own. Her vision was blurred, but what could she do. She almost became a murder that night, twice, but Batman wouldn't allow it. He saved her more than countless times and for that she loved him. Her heart stayed with him, hoping it'll give him the strength to fight.


As you can see, Bruce still has his batcave. Just so you know. Also, I didn't write a fight scene because I don't know how and I didn't want to take something from a movie. Thanks for reading and please review.
