Chpater 9.
KylePOV
So, after they threw me into a van drove off, I turned my concentration on to waking up. This was easy, since they were way too quiet. But I guess we can contribute that to the mind control cards attached to their heads. I closed my eyes and concentrated. I concentrated on my mom's face. Her laugh, her smile. I concentrated on my dad's smell of aftershave, his stubble, his eyes. I thought about how much I wanted to see them again, and I was sure it would work.
But I didn't wake up.
I sighed and opened my eyes again. I had no sense of where we were, since the van didn't have windows. After about fifteen minutes, we came to a sudden and unexpected stop. So unexpected, that I yelped.
Suddenly, the ceiling of the van was torn open to reveal a grinning Robin.
"Need a hand?" He asked, jumping down along with Batman, who took care of the goons as Robin untied me.
"Thanks." I said gratefully. "I've had enough excitement to last a life time."
"Then let's get you home." He said, grabbing me then grappling us out of there and pulling us into an abandoned building. Batman followed shortly after.
"Thanks you guys." I said again. Batman nodded. His gaze shifted to behind my back, toward the doorway of the building, then got into a fighting position as Robin pulled me behind him.
The Joker was back.
I shot a glance at Batman, wondering how he got away after they chased him out of the warehouse. But he was the Joker.
Joker looked mad. He looked really mad. Not just the usual, 'you didn't laugh at my joke', mad, but the, 'you pissed me off so now you die', mad. In his hand he held a pistol, hand on the trigger, just itching to squeeze it.
"Aw Kyle, we never finished our game." He whined. "Because Batsy here had to ruin it."
"Give it up Joker." Batman growled. "It's over."
"On the contrary," Joker said. "Things are just getting started." He said maliciously, then pointed the gun up and fired it into a light, which started a chain reaction and blew out the rest of the lights of the whole place.
We were engulfed by sparks and then blackness. I could see absolutely nothing. I heard scuffling and felt along the wall, groping in the darkness as my eyes tried to adjust.
Of course I knew that Batman and Robin had night vision in their masks. But I unfortunately didn't have this luxury, so it made seeing quite a task.
I continued to feel along the wall when I hit something soft.
"Kyle, get out of there!" I heard Batman call from somewhere.
I felt it, when I didn't feel a mask or cape, I panicked and froze.
"Oh crap." I said, and then was thrust to the Joker's side with a gun to my temple.
"I'm done with this dammed game." Joker growled in my ear. "The only way I'm getting out of here is with you Kylie. So be a good kid and do what you're told alright?" He asked.
I froze and gulped. What was I supposed to do? Go with him? No. It was then I decided. It wasn't like I was ever going to see my parents again. I might as well not let the Joker escape. I was done with this crap either way; I wasn't getting out of Gotham. No way in Hell was I going to be his pawn.
I stood up straighter. "Go to Hell." I spat at him. Next thing I knew I was on the ground, and I felt the cold barrel of the gun on my chest.
"Wrong answer kid." He said.
Then he fired.
The last thing I remembered was the entail shock of getting shot. And then the pain. The increasing agony of my insides bleeding. My breathing staggered as I fell over. I heard a thump, which is what I assumed one of the heroes taking down the Joker. Then someone was leaning over me, and holding me up. I couldn't tell who it was, and I honestly didn't care.
"Come on Kyle, stay with me." Bruce's voice echoed in my ears. So it was Bruce holding me up. "Hang on." He said.
I managed to shake my head. "Bye Bruce…" I whispered.
Then let darkness overtake me.
