Chapter 12! I own nothing! Also I noticed I have been spelling "Lucius" wrong in earlier chapters and had minor grammar problems as far as small words like "off and the use of their, there, and they're." I know how to use that stuff properly, but I type these stories so late at night I get tired! Anyway the story! Emjoy!

Jason and Bruce wasted no time in running towards the end of the room, but Jason looked back at Lucius's corpse and knew they couldn't leave him there.

"Bruce. You go to Alfred and I'll take care of Lucius." Jason said.

Bruce looked at Jason and then Lucius.

"Okay Jason." Bruce said.

Jason nodded and Bruce opened the sliding doors out to the balcony and called for the BatWing.

It showed up very fast. He got into the cockpit and flew off towards Wayne Manor. Wayne Manor was located a very fair distance away from Gotham, but it wasn't unreachable, just a lengthy drive. He got to Wayne Manor and landed the BatWing. He got out and ran out and into the large house.

"ALFRED! ALFRED!" Bruce yelled.

Bruce ran all over and couldn't find Alfred anywhere. He got worried. He thought maybe Pyg had taken him, but heard a faint noise.

"M...master Wayne..." Alfred said.

Bruce looked over his shoulder and Alfred was in one of Bruce's guest rooms tied up and had multiple stab wounds in his body. It was surprising he was even still alive.

"Alfred...Alfred stay with me. What happened?" Bruce asked.

"He came in...and...and...this person with a white face grabbed me and another shorter one...choked me..when I woke up we were in here...and..he was attempting to "fix" me he said...when he saw I had a birthmark..he got wild...and stabbed me at lest..fifteen times...I'm...afraid this is it...for me Master Wayne..." Alfred said between heavy breaths.

"Alfred you'll be fine..don't talk like that please..you're all I have left..he's killed Lucius.." Bruce said tearing up.

"He has Selena...Master Wayne...she was so badly beaten..you know how she feels about you right sir?" Alfred said.

Bruce's eyes widened. This monster had Selena? What was he doing with her? What was his plan?

"She..she said she loves me Alfred..but I can't bring her into all of my problems..it would only get her killed.." Bruce said, head hanging low.

"Sir. If she really cared about that, would she go through all of this for you...that's what...love is sir..she'd die if it meant you..could live..you.. can't keep going through life alone..Master Bruce..."

Bruce looked away. He didn't know what to say.

"I'll finally get to see them again Master Wayne...your parents...I've done my job..raised you into a great young man...Good...bye...Master Bruce.." Alfred said while breathing his last breath.

Bruce stared at Alfred's lifeless body. Anger, guilt, and many more emotions ran through his body. He screamed as loud as he could. Pyg was going to pay for this.

"Valentin. I'm coming for you. Selena..stay alive please.." Bruce said, closing Alfred's eyes and leaving Wayne Manor.

BACK WITH PYG

Pyg and company got out of the car after hours of non stop driving. They were in some type of forest area. It was an open area. All that sat in the wide space. An abandoned circus tent. On the opening a sign that read 'Circus Of Strange.' Pyg got out and took a big whiff.

"Don't you just love the fresh air Janoz!" Pyg said happily.

Janoz of course didn't answer him.

"Janoz my son, please do daddy a favor and wake up our guest!" Pyg instructed.

Janoz looked at Pyg and then opened the back door to reveal a sleeping Selena. Janoz pulled her out of the car and she landed on her face.

"Ughh...where...where am I?" Selena said.

"My darling you are at Pyg's headquarters! You will spend a long time here my dear!" Pyg said.

Selena looked up at the big top from the ground and put her face back down on the soft, wet grass. Pyg grabbed her and stood her up.

"The more Pyg looks at you in this attire, Pyg just wants to throw up! Exposing yourself like this. Oooooooo Pyg should beat you right now!" Pyg said angrily. "But there's no need for that. Pyg will provide you with the proper attire." Pyg said smiling. "Now! No more time to waste!" Pyg said as he and company made their way inside the big top.

Inside it smelled like something had died. There were bleachers on both ends of the tent, and a giant circle in the middle for possibly acts when the circus was in its prime. Pyg threw Selena to the ground and walked over to a control panel that looked to be once used for lighting, and other effects.

He typed in a code and the giant circle opened up to another platform.

"Come come! On to the platform!" Pyg instructed.

Janoz dragged Selena onto the platform and the dollotron followed. Pyg got on as well and the platform slowly descended. As it went further underground it became darker and colder. Eventually they hit the bottom and Pyg activated the lights. They were in the main hall. A giant circular area that and both ends and four different paths a piece.

'Anyone he's brought down here probably never got out...it's basically a labyrinth..' Selena thought.

As she thought that, she started to lose faith and confidence that anyone would possibly find her. No. She couldn't lose faith. Bruce would find her, she knows he would. She thought about Lucius and Alfred, who she watched Pyg and Janoz kill in cold blood, and knew after Bruce saw that he wouldn't give up...he couldn't give up.

"Alright Janoz. You go and check on the others, I'll take the cat lady to her cage!" Pyg said.

Janoz looked at Selena and Selena back at him. His lip started to quiver and a tear formed in his good eye. He turned around and walked with the dollotron to the other chambers.

'Did he..did he..just...' Catwoman couldn't finish her thought before she was grabbed by Pyg.

He took her into hallway 5 and walked for what seemed like miles, until steel doors with sliding peep holes in them, which means something or someone were behind those doors. Eventually at the very end of the hall there was a door wide open. That's where Selena would be staying. Pyg shoved her into the room. It was about the size of your standard prison cell. It had a bed that was suspended off the ground only by two chains, a sink, a tub, and a toilet. Also on the bed, clothes.

"All for you to do now is put those clothes on and wait your turn Ms. Cat Lady! I have quite a few appointments before you!" Pyg said as he left the room and slammed the door. That was it. She was trapped with no way out. She put on her hospital like clothing and lay on her bed. She balled up and closed her eyes. Bruce was the only one to come to mind. She cried heavily but silently, wondering what he was doing. She needed him now more than ever.

BEHIND WAYNE MANOR

Bruce and Jason had just finished burying Alfred and Lucius. Now they could be on their way.

"Alright Bruce. Next stop?" Jason asked.

"Next we go to Arkham City." Bruce said

"The abandoned mega prison? What's there?" Jason wondered.

"Selena told me she freed Hush from my cells down below Wayne Manor, he had a hideout there, maybe he can fill me in on anything." Bruce said.

"You sure you can trust him Bruce? I mean, doesn't that guy hate you?"

"He cared enough to let Selena live after freeing him. Maybe he'll show the same to me."

Jason shrugged and nodded then made his way to Bruce's BatBike. The bat mobile was a one seater and Jason had always wanted to drive it. Jason revved the engine ready to go, until Bruce came by.

"I forgot. We need to go to the GCPD so I can grab a few things from there as well." Batman said.

"I'm following you Bruce." Jason responded.

Bruce got in his Batmobile and they made way towards the GCPD. When they arrived the bodies of men and women who were killed in the massacre were being brought out and put into ambulances. Bruce and Jason got out of their vehicles and walked with confusion through the crowd until they got to the front steps, where commissioner Gordon was waiting.

"Gordon what happened here?" Bruce asked.

Rather than explain. Gordon just pointed with his head, signaling to follow him. The trio made their way into the holding cells when Bruce noticed all the dollotrons were missing.

"Gordon?! Where are the dollotrons?" Bruce asked demandingly.

Again. No answer from the commissioner. He just walked Bruce into the high security area, but he wasn't going in there without smack talk from prisoners.

"Awwwwe rich boy WAYNE showed up." "You're dead Wayne!" "You and everyone you love? FINISHED!"

Bruce was unfazed by their threats. He just wanted to know what was going on. Finally they reached the high security room. They were met with dried blood everywhere and outlines of bodies all over.

"Gordon.." Bruce said.

"Pyg happened...he broke out and had the dollotrons kill all of these cops..there was also a suicide..The riddler was killed..and..Cash died.." Gordon said tearing up.

Bruce looked over to Cash's desk and looked down at the outline.

"I'm so sorry Cash..." Bruce said.

"We have to kill this freak Bruce...for eveyone he's killed." Gordon said.

Bruce walked over to the high security cell.

"Well. If it isn't Wayne. You've got a pretty big target on your head now. How's you say I take a few of your targeters off of the list..for a price of course." Deathstroke said.

Bruce ignored him and looked over to see The Riddlers blood and outline on the cell wall. Jason walked up behind Bruce.

"Do any of you know where Valentin went?" Bruce asked.

"Even if we did, why would tell your arse? AHAHAHAH!" The Penguin said.

Jason walked up and put a pistol to his head.

"Because if you don't you're a dead man." Jason said coldly.

"AHHH I'M SORRY!" The Penguin reacted.

"Sorry Batman..none of us knows where that freak went..only that he left with his son and one of those masked things." Cheif Underhill said.

Bruce looked down. Then back up and nodded. He turned around to exit the room and go towards the super villain weapons put on display. He went in and grabbed his synchronizer out of a display and went and grabbed Talia's sword. Jason on the other hand, grabbed most of the weapons confiscated from Penguin and Two-face during the course of the night. Bruce looked at Jason and Jason at Bruce. They were ready.

As they left Barbara blocked their way from going out of the front doors. She had an angry and disappointment look on her face.

"Barb.." Bruce started.

"No...don't 'Barb' me...all night I was telling you he wanted to help..and time after time you denied him..then you lock him in a cell to be taken by the enemy?! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! WHY WOULDN'T YOU LET HIM HELP YOU BRUCE? I LOVED HIM...I...I loved him so much...Jason...oh my god."Barbara said as she realized who stood in front of her.

"Hey Barb.." Jason said.

Everything Barb had gone throught with all of these Robins. It was too much. She started to break down again. Bruce went to comfort her.

"NO! DON'T TOUCH ME! DON'T HELP ME! JUST LIKE YOU DON'T NEED HELP!" Barbara said before she wheeled off.

Bruce had no remark. He just continued on outside and to the BatMobile.

"Alright Jason Arkham City is our next stop." Bruce said.

Jason put on his red hood mask and nodded.

Hush could be the first big lead they needed. They'd better hope so. There was almost no other leads to follow..in fact..there weren't any..if Hush couldn't help..this would be a disaster.
