One Night Gone Wrong

Chapter 10

Jason frowned as he and the clown separated again. Jason had always hated this clown, and it was rare that the clown caught him off guard like this. Jason pulled his gun out and faced the clown again with a growl.

"Oh, Little Red, I missed you…to DEATH," the Joker cackled, and Jason's scowl deepened as he growled at the clown he hated so much. "Actually, it was very hard to catch you off guard. You're so big and tough nowadays," the Joker cackled at his own joke. "However, word on the street was that you had caught a playmate and you were busy with him. I knew I could catch you now…Say," Joker said with a smile, "how did you like Ivy's new love gas? Looked like the two of you were having some fun until I arrived."

Jason's eyes widened, so that was why Dick had changed his mind so quickly about making out with him. Jason's eyes darkened; he was pissed. It was true he wanted Dick to love him, but he didn't want Dick to return his love because of some chemical, he wanted it because Dick really did love him that way. Apparently, that was not the case and Jason was pissed. He had never intended to force Dick to return his love, the thought had never even come to him because then it wouldn't be true love it would all be a lie.

Jason was about to shoot Joker when he felt a presence behind him. He jumped out of the way just in time to miss Harley's mallet. The fight really started after that. Jason was not fighting like he should, he was fighting in anger, and that made his fighting sloppy. He couldn't believe that he'd allowed himself to think that Dick actually cared about him. Joker shot a gun at Jason and Jason smirked.

"You're getting sloppy Clown, you missed," Jason said with a cocky smirk.

"I never miss," Joker smirked and that was when he'd felt the needle in the back of his knee. "You see while you were focused on me and my gun, my sweet Harley was across the room and she shot a needle in you. Now, you may be feeling a bit woozy," Joker said with a smirk, "and that is perfectly normal. We tripled the tranquilizing drug to make sure our new patient would go down."

Jason growled as he tried to stay standing. He could feel the woozy feeling starting to creep in, but he had to try to fight it. Joker approached him with a smile and kicked him square in the jaw. Jason went down. He tried to blink the fuzz and dots out of his quickly blackening vision and tried to stand back up. He only got as far as his knees when he passed out again, his world going black.

Back with Nightwing

Dick had hated leaving Jason. They were having a moment, but he knew Jay was right, it had to be him getting backup. If Jay had escaped to get Tim and Damian, then they would not have listened. There was no promise that they would listen to him and help him fight Joker to save Red, but he had to try.

It took a couple hours to find them. When Red Robin and Robin saw Nightwing running at them, they were surprised, after all, Dick had been missing for three days now.

"Guys, I need your help!" Dick gasped, almost out of breath.

"Where the HELL have you been Grayson! We've been searching for you for three days with no signs of you! We even had to call father," Damian said crossly.

"Yeah, are you hurt Nightwing? Where have you been," Red Robin asked with worry.

"There's no time for that now! Joker's on the lose and he's got Jay!"

Damian rolled his eyes, "Why should we care about Todd? He's not one of us!"

"Damian! He's our brother! And I LOVE him!"

Red Robin tilted his head for a moment, "Wing, I know you care about the lost Robin, that you consider him part of the family, but…"

"He's more than FAMILY!" Dick billowed, "I LOVE him!"

Tim sighed, "Sounds like Ivy has had him as her prisoner."

"Ivy," Nightwing asked confused. "Why would you think she had me?"

"Because, stupid, you've been dosed with her love gas," Robin said with annoyance, stabbing Nightwing in the arm.

"Ow! What was that for," Nightwing frowned but then his mind started to clear. "Damn! I'm going to kill Ivy, right after we stop Joker from whatever crazy scheme he has planned."

"What do you mean what Joker is up to? Start talking Nightwing. Was Joker who had you?"

Nightwing sighed and rolled his eyes, "It doesn't matter who had me, all that matters is that Red Hood freed me and now Joker has him! We need to save Jay!"

"Are you sure that the Ivy stuff wore off," Damian asked rolling his eyes.

"I'm fine! He saved me from Joker, I owe him! Besides, he is our brother, even if he stubbornly refuses to accept us. We need to rescue him!"

"He's right, no matter how much Jay hates us. We need to save Jay," Red Robin replied.

"FINE," Robin said rolling his eyes, "let's just get this over with!"

Dick smiled and suited up and the three of them geared up to go save Jason from Joker.
