I like these reviews guys. Keep it up. This is for everyone who posted a review. P.s I know time doesn't really go as fast as I'm going to make it, but the story would get boring if I did all 24 hours of looking for the Joker.

Thanks

Bruce's POV

I watched my little boy get farther and farther from the manor. I wanted to keep thinking that I'd see him again when this is all over, but my gut tells me I'll never see him again. I head down to the bat-cave gathering things I need to try and stop the Joker. I knew I needed to hurry but I just couldn't stop thinking about Dick. When this is over, he'll get my company, my home, 90% of my money, and the list goes on. I had made Dick my heir a few weeks ago and had a talk with Alfred the very next day.

"Something on your mind sir?" Alfred asked me.

"It's about Dickie. I'm just thinking, what if something happens to me when Dickie is still young. He's such a sweet lad that he doesn't deserve to go back to the orphanage until he's old enough to take over".

"I doubt that will happen sir. But I love the young master as much as I cared about you when you were his age. And if something does happen, I personally will stay and take care of the young master for as long as I live." That made me smile.

After finally getting everything I needed, I took off in the bat-copter. I saw so many cars heading out of Gotham, and I knew one of those cars help my Dickie.

Third person

Dick couldn't stop looking out the window. He'd been on the road for only fifteen minutes and he'd already missed his daddy. HE held his stuffed elephant peanut close and started crying who he could not hid from Alfred.

I believe Master Bruce left you something in your suitcase sir. Alfred told him. Dick grabbed his suitcase and opened it. Inside was a letter with his name on it.

Dickie,

I'm sorry you have to go like this, but I don't want you anywhere near the Venom. I know you've faced the Joker before, but he's too dangerous while he's taken over Arkham. I want you to be a brave boy and listen to Alfred. I'll see you as soon as this is over. I love you.

Daddy

I'll be a good boy daddy. I promise.

Bat-transition

22:30

Batman went back to Arkham to try and capture the Joker. He had set a timer that told him how much time he had left before the Venom hits Gotham. Since Joker had taken control of the whole island, he was tracking Batman's every movement. Suddenly he started coughing and breathing funny. Going in to the next room he noticed a room that stretch out a very long hallway. He knew this would be a long walk so he got started.

"I can't believe you insisted on seeing that movie again Bruce. Come on, we'll be late for Alfred"

"I'm sorry daddy"

"Go easy on him Tom. He loved it so. Alfred will wait. Keep up Bruce."

Batman tried as hard as he could to block out the memory that was his worst nightmare. Then the scene changed. He wasn't in Crime Ally anymore; he was in the streets of Gotham. He saw so many people lying on the ground, dead. Then he saw a different body. A small child's body that stuck out over all the others. Batman slowly walked towards the child's body that was lying on his stomach and arm was covering his face. Batman then turned the child's body around. What he saw made his heart stop.

"D-dickie?" Batman asked. Bruce picked him up and held him to his chest and put his fingers to Dick's neck. Nothing.

Don't do this to me Dickie-Bird, Bruce begged. Bruce tried again for his pulse. Nothing. "No…..Not Dickie…..NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Bruce crushed Dick into his chest and kissed his forehead. Bruce started sobbing. Suddenly Dick felt lighter then he originally was. Bruce looked up and saw Dick fading away. "Dick?! Dickie!?" Suddenly Dick was gone. "NO!" Bruce shouted when suddenly he saw Scarecrow's little world of platforms and crumbling building.

What are you doing little bat? He asked.

Batman saw something that looked like the bat-signal at the top of all of Scarecrow's platforms, also by the Bat-signal was…

"Dickie." Bruce whispered. Batman then knew he would have to go to the top to make Scarecrow leave and get Dick out of here, even though he was dead. Batman hid from Scarecrow's gaze and climbed up higher and higher.

"Twinkle Twinkle little bat. How I wonder where you're at." Scarecrow taunted.

"Hold on Dickie, I'm coming." Batman whispered. Finally he made it to the very top when he ducked down quickly so scarecrow wouldn't see him. As soon as he was looking the other way, Batman ran to the Bat-signal and shined the light on him.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Scarecrow screamed and Batman was back in the room where he started coughing. Almost afraid to look at the clock, he looked and saw he had 5 minutes to find the Joker and stop him. He went around the gardens looking for the Joker. He went inside a room that was completely empty. Just when he was about to turn around…
"Hello Bats. Come to watch the party. No way will everyone in Gotham get out on time."

"You better stop this right now Joker."

"Hummm, I think not, so let's see everyone's favorite hero die like the rest of Gotham." Joker threw his venom right in Batman's face. Batman fell to the ground and started breathing faster.

"Catch you later bats. Or maybe I won't". Joker said and ran away.

Batman knew he was dying, and wanted to look at something before he met his parents. Pressing a button on his wrist, a picture of Dick popped up.

"I l-love you Dickie," Bruce said with his last words and before his eyes closed, he flicked a baterang at a nearby fan.

Oh gosh. Is Bruce gonna die? Will Dickie be all alone again? Review to find out. Not updating unless I get some reviews.
