Robin stood his ground, inside he was afraid was what was to come, but on the outside he kept his cool exterior. His eyes flickered again to the titans; they were all struggling with their bonds. He then looked at the three mad men before him, he couldn't take on all three, the only way he could beat them was if the titan's were free, but that would prove to be a tricky task.

"Where is Starfire?" He demanded, Joker's grin only grew and Slade chuckled.

"Oh I thought I'd save the best for last Robin, but you probably won't make it that far." Slade purred sounding delighted by the events taking place. "I must say Robin; she is a pretty one…very pretty."

"You'll stay away from her Slade!" Robin snarled.

"Does that mean that I can still have some fun?" Red X asked innocently from his perch. Robin growled deep in his throat his eyes becoming like slits.

"But I do believe Robin, you have an unsatisfied customer…you remember the Joker don't you?" Slade said gesturing to the grinning man beside him; he was fingering his guns in an almost caring way, when he realized he was being addressed he looked up and Robin, his grin never faltered.

"Ah Birdie, you wanna know something, when you came Gotham I thought we'd get on great, we both like to kill, we both like to steal…but our main difference is that I only like chicks who bend to my every whim…take Harley for example she-"

"You're getting off subject Joker." Slade hissed. Joker eyes flickered with anger; he didn't like to be interrupted.

"Anyway, I gave you a job did you carry it out?" Robin stared at the Joker in frustration he didn't want to be messed around if the Joker wanted to fight then he would fight, he didn't come here to talk. "I said did you carry it out?"

"No."

"Why?" The Joker said, no matter how much anger and impatience entered the Jokers eyes he still grinned, baring his yellow teeth.

"I ran into someone who needed to talk."

"Oh…and who might that be?" Slade inquired, now taking interest.

"Who a man I met along time ago, he made me feel better back then and now…he opened my eyes." Robin said slowly taking his time to look at the reaction in Slade's eye, but it didn't change.

"Answer the question boy!" Slade snarled.

"The Joker likes to call him 'Batsy' but I always knew him as Batman." Robin sneered, enjoying how Red X uncrossed his arms in amazement.

"You know what Robin, I'm becoming tiresome with this, Joker, do what you wish, but leave him alive. X lets go keep our other guest company." Slade said waving his arm. Robin frowned, he ran at the retreating figures he so hated, but then an arm barred his path, he ran into, knocked off of his feet he skidded a few meters on his back, his cape trailing behind him. The Joker cackled.

"You're not forgetting about me are you birdie?" He cackled. The Titans looked on, able to do nothing as Robin scrambled to his feet, only have to dodge gun shots which now flew at his defenseless body, he rolled fast and carried on running, knowing he wouldn't last if the Joker hit his target.

You have to win, you have to fight, or Starfire will die. No.weakess.allowed!

He fished in his belt and found a short steel stick (three guesses people come on). He squeezed it, thinking that it might work again like on the grappling hook, and was rewarded when it extended into a bo-staff, one just like his old one. He span it in his fingers, dodging the Jokers bullets, a grin crept onto his features. But before be knew it, the Joker was in the air, he span and threw out his leg, knocking past Robin's staff, sending it flying out of his grasp and then right in the face, Robin flew back into the wall creating a small crater.

Robin pulled himself out; his body ached from the impact. He then braced himself as the Joker ran at him again, Robin ducked under his fist, and rolling under his arm he kicked the clown's back, sending him into the crater. The Joker growled, no longer amused, he then pulled out his two guns taking aim once more, he shot two rounds which caused Robin to roll painfully, but he didn't make it back up, he stopped and fell back with a cry as the Joker stepped on his cape harshly. Robin then flipped back over kicked Joker in the chest, it was the Joker who cried out this time as he stumbled back letting go of Robin's cape in the process.

"You know Joker; I always thought you were a better fighter than this." Robin mocked, seeing the clown frown (lol) at him with malice.

"Ah but Birdie the thing is, it's not my fighting that makes me so…funny…it's my tactics, like this one!" He screeched as he threw four cards at Robin, they flew at him, pinning him to the wall. Robin struggled, but his cape was stuck. The Joker turned his gun onto Robin. "Wanna know what else makes me FUNNY! Birdie? Huh, huh! Well answer me!"

"No what." Robin growled glaring a look that could kill in an instant.

"Well because you asked! I'm not gunner kill you first, I'm gunner kill your friends HA! Isn't that just FUNNY!"

(Am I getting the Joker right? I'm winging it here people?)

Robin struggled harder. "Leave them alone Joker! Your fight is with me." Robin snarled. Joker only screeched with laughter.

"THAT'S THE BEATY OF IT HAHA!" The Joker shouted, as he turned his gun to point it at Beastboy, whose eyes widened dramatically.

"Dude! Really don't kill me! I'll give you every joke I know! Jus don't kill me…I'm too young to die!" He pleaded as he and the other Titans struggled, the remark did cause Raven to roll her eyes for a moment, but she had to help her friend.

"Sorry kiddo! But I know every Joke in the book, why dya' think they call me Joker!" He said gleefully. He then pulled the trigger.

"BEASTBOY!" Cyborg roared in alarm, the bullet flew towards Beastboy almost in slow motion, Raven's eyes flew as wide as they could from her binds, wishing more than ever she had her powers, she screamed from behind her gag. Beastboy closed his eyes waiting for the impact.

But it never came.

He slowly opened his eyes, wondering if he was dead and what he saw shocked him, a towering figure of black, his cape flew around his body as he shielded himself and Beastboy, his body was shaped to his body, you could see every muscle there, his face was covered in a mask, only his eyes visible and they were narrowed and focused…slowly then Beastboy looked on top of his head, confirming his suspicions, two bat ears sat on top of his mask.

"Batman." He whispered his eyes alight with boyish wonder. Batman smiled slightly from under his mask before spinning to face the Joker, the bullet had hit the cape but it was made with a strong fabric, as strong as titanium. The Joker stood there in shock, his guns hanging limply at his side. Finally the Joker found his voice and he was not pleased.

"Why are you ALWAYS there WHENEVER I want to kill someone?" He roared infuriated by the Batman's presence. Robin however had never been happier to see a man wearing ears in his life.

"I'm always there because you always need stopping Joker." The Batman stated smugly. "It's about time you and your cushiony cell at Arkham got better acquainted."

"Yeah right Batsy!" Joker cackled laughing once more. He then threw up his hands and shot at Batman with a vengeance, but the Batman jumped up so it almost looked like he was flying and kicked the Joker right in the chin, sending him flying back onto the floor writhing in pain. He then ran to Robin and set him free. Robin smiled in thanks and ran towards the Titans. He looked around for away to set them free, using his bird-a-rang he cuts the bonds from Raven first. He ripped off her own gag. She gave him the smallest of smiles.

"Robin go. Starfire needs you." She said so quietly that no one but him heard her. Robin not needing telling twice ran past her towards the darkness that Slade and X disappeared to.

Starfire felt tears run down her cheeks as Slade approached her again, giving a swift kick to her side she flew back to the edge of the roof they were on, storm clouds covered the night sky, and she hit her head on stone floor. She squeezed her eyes shut in pain, a cry of pain flying out of her lips. Slade's eye was filled with a sick happiness as he heard her cries of pain. He strolled up to her and wiped one of her tears away, she scrambled away from him, still with out powers, even if she had them she was in too much pain to do much.

"It pains me to hurt such a pretty girl, but it must be done." Slade whispered and she flinched as she felt his breath on her ear. He then ran a gloved finger up her side and she struggled in his grasp despite her pain, he rewarded her by taking hold of the back of her neck, she shook in his hands, not able to move he cupped her cheek from behind her, he felt her tears on his gloves and felt a thrill of knowing the emotional and physical pain he was causing the girl.

"Please…" She whispered. "No more."

"Maybe…but first, I need something from you." He whispered. She forced herself to look at him, fear in her face. "Scream."

"What?" She muttered.

He took her by her bruised arms, and squeezed, she flinched. "Scream."

"No." She said stubbornly, not wanting to feed his madness.

"Scream." He said squeezing harder still.

"I will not." He growled to bared teeth, her teeth grinding together in pain.

"Scream." He snarled. He dug his fingers in her arms to leave marks. She threw her head back in pain but did not utter a single word. He squeezed harder and she gasped sweat and tears pouring down her fore head.

"SCREAM!" He roared. And she obliged. "Good girl."

Robin ran threw the darkness, he couldn't hear or see anything. He guided his way, making sure he didn't run into anything. He stopped to look in his belt, finding a small torch he lit it up, to find himself in a large hall, just like the one before. He looked around, not seeing anything. Then suddenly he heard it a shrill scream that rang out throughout the entire building. He stopped.

"Starfire!" He shouted, hoping for her to hear him, he didn't want her to be hurt, it would be his fault, the thought of Slade hurting her in any way was angering him to know end, he just wanted to take something sharp and ram it into Slade's stone cold heart, but he promised himself when he came there that night. He would kill no one. He was to be a hero now, and heroes do NOT kill.

He looked up to see the cloudy night sky above him, he was close to warehouse again, he was going in circle, he had to find her and soon. Slade couldn't be that far with her. He just hoped he wouldn't be to late.

"You know Robin; you look ridicules in that outfit." Sneered a voice. Robin span around to see Red X there, his X's extended and ready; he had a relaxed pose about him.

"You know X, I've always thought the same way about you." Robin snarled back. Red X laughed softly.

"Actually, can I rephrase that sentence; you're quite pathetic when you're in love."

"Oh you'll find it makes me quite a better fighter, you see I have something to fight for…do you X?"

Red X didn't answer, instead he flew at Robin, his X's extended, and Robin pulled out his bo-staff and blocked them, both warriors stood against each other, both staring into each others masks, both knowing this would be a fight like no other.
