Chapter 8: Saving You From Drowning
Usually when you have a night terror you think its real, but for Danny he knows it's not because this time he lived this before, but the memory is slightly altered.
He was back in his little room in Arkham, with his sister as they where about to leave, when the door slammed open to reveal Danny's least favorite person and his guards flooding the room. It was exactly how the memory went, but Jazz instead of being escorted out, Vlad order her to be shot in the forehead between the eyes in front of an already traumatized Danny. When her body hit the floor, Danny pleaded, "JAZZ! JAZZ! GET UP! GET UP, PLEASE!". Tears where streaming so fluidly down his eyes you could have stood in a 3in puddle. Vlad was just smiling his creepy smile as he hoisted Danny over his shoulders, and walked out the cell with him.
Every end mate stared at the screaming child as Vlad carried him down the hall. Danny, if he got any louder, would accidentally activate his Ghostly Wail, and more than likely hurt everyone in the building.
Vlad whispered to the child, "That Little Badger is only the beginning of what you will see when your by my side ruling the world as my son. I warned you, about rejecting me that week you learned your ice powers. Now Daniel, you need to stop crying, NOW!"
Danny shook his head frustration as he kicked, screamed, punched and cried to be released from Vlad's cold grasps.
Stopping in the middle of the isle with all the inmates watching, thousands upon thousands of Volts of electricity entered the small child, making his howl in agony, as his body shut down, and his motor movements stops, leaving him draped over his shoulder unconscious...
Meanwhile...
Bruce jerked awake as his consciousness returned to him. Him being Batman immediately noticed he was tied to a chair, and that it was steel chains and not ropes. And Since Batman isn't Superman he doesn't have his suit nor utility belt on him, but he did have a tracker on his collar and a transmitter device connected with it. After a quick scan of the room he knew he was alone. He quickly pushed it hoping one of the bird brains would answer.
When someone picked up, he was more worried then relieved the hear, "What! I'm in the middle of a Freaking test!-"
Bruce whispered, "Jason shut up and listen. Danny and I have been kidnapped i need you to reach Dick and Tim, and tell them of my location. I need you to find Danny...And before you even ask yes, you a greatly injure the person holding him hostage but under no circumstances will you leave them dead, near dead, or missing bodily parts."
Jason grumbled before calling the boy wonder. But before they cut the connection the door to the room slammed open revealing figure, that was average hit, had little to average muscular build, and a wicked smile on his face as he stepped towards Bruce.
His cynical laughter, announced, "Well it seems mister money bags has finally awoken. So tell me are feeling happy?"
Bruce asked in a staged concerned voice, "What's going on? Why did you kidnap me and my son? Where is my son?"
The Joker walked over to Bruce and laid an arm on his shoulder as he, replied, "Don't worry I didn't do any harm to the kid, we were Prison mates after all. No he's just resting, in the other room across the facility, down a couple flight of stares, peace f-"
A high pitched scream rang though out the building nearly shacking it, cutting the Joker off.
Joker sighed before smirking towards Bruce stating, "We'll i think he just woke up-"
Bruce tried to reason, "You don't understand he's suffering from PTSP- He's having a night terror!"
Joker frowned before just shrugging walking over to the door, before replying, "Well its a good thing our lovely friend Harlene is on guard as Scarecrow watch-"
In the next second Nightwing and Robin bet up Joker and successfully rescue Bruce.
However when the reach Danny's location its to see Danny staring wide eyes as Red Hood, was shown to be Jason, due to Danny holding his mask. Whom was also shaking on the floor, obviously being effected by Scarecrows fear toxin gas. Scarecrow on the other hand looks like he's being replenished in strength by his fears. Shaking off the frozen look Danny turns his attention to Scarecrow, who's smirk wasn't as wicked as Vlad nor a sadistic as his future self. Danny hopped to his feet, raising a glowing fist, and ran towards Scarecrow with determination in his eyes yelling, "NO ONE IS GONNA HURT MY FAMILY ANYMORE!"
The blast connected with Scarecrow knocking him unconscious, as Danny collapsed from using so much energy, but he new he was safe now because he fell into Bruce's arms.
