Enjoy the next chapter dudes! :D Thank you all for all the reviews, favorites and alerts, again! They really make my day.
I am terribly sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes. Also, please excuse me for my limited vocabulary D: I tend to use the same words alot in this chapter.
Btw, sorry if I ever confused you guys, cuz I keep switching in between the characters superhero and real names. I'm just too lazy to change it.
Last note, to all of those who thought Joker kidnapped them, you're absolutely right! XD You get a virtual cookie!
Anyways... On to the chapter!~ (I'm absolutely horrible in writing fight scenes! :X)
"Wait, what does that mean? They never got out?" asked Artemis frowning with worry. She was now really starting to panic. As she just got to know, anyone at the hands of Joker was not going to come out unscathed. Most people didn't even come out at all.
Kid flash came up next to her. "Maybe.. they just got lost?"
"Highly unlikely. It was an easy way out." Answered Robin. "They may be snobbish and spoiled, but definitely not stupid. Which means only one thing. The Joker's got them."
:D:D:D:D
"We'll split into groups of two." The dark knight instructed. 'Flash and I will secure the outside, while the rest of you will search inside. Aqualad with Kid Flash, Superboy with Miss Martian and Robin with Artemis. The minute you find something, report immediately."
"Roger." all of them replied in unison and ran into the building.
KF and Aqualad took the north side of school, Ms M and Superboy took the south side while Artemis and Robin searched below in the underground storage warehouse from before. Because, as Robin mentioned earlier, it was the perfect place for a crazed, psychotic, mad murderer to hide in.
After having to avoid and dodge a countless number of traps again, they eventually reached a suspicious looking grey metal door. A large letter J was painted in bloody red colour at its front.
Robin brought out his tools and started picking the lock, smirking happily when he heard the satisfying click of the gears coming undone. He motioned Artemis to stay still and to call in the team, before he proceeded to opening the doors.
A gun shot was heard from inside the room, as Robin ducked down instinctively. The bullet whizzed above his head ruffling his ebony hair. The boy wonder recovered quickly and sent a quick glance at the shocked archer, letting her know he was okay, before creeping silently into the room. He came face to face with none other than Joker himself, who was seated in a bright red leather chair, twirling a gun playfully in his hand.
"Well, well, well. Looks like little boy blunder has come to play." The Joker smiled sinisterly while eyeing his two hostages beside him on the floor. They were tied up and gagged, their wide eyes pleading for help.
Robin shot them a calming look, reassuring them that everything was gonna be alright, before sending his own version of bat glare to the Joker.
"Let them go Joker!" Robin snarled. "You've already got what you came for, so why don't you just leave them alone?"
"Oooh, but bird boy, I haven't had my fun yet." The Joker said pulling a sad face before quickly returning to his smile again. "I've just got sooo many more 'lessons' planned out for today."
"Well, it looks like we're cutting the class short!" Robin finished, grabbing his birdarang and threw it straight in the mad man's direction, before jumping into a roundhouse kick aimed at the man's head.
The Joker simply stepped out of the way of the flying device and blocked Robin's leg with his arm. Robin back flipped swiftly out of the way as Joker raised his gun and began shooting at the masked acrobat. And as the boy wonder was about to attack again, he stopped short as he noticed the Joker pointing his gun toward the captured teens instead.
"Nu uh. Wait a second boy blunder. I don't think there'd be any point in rescuing the children if their dead, now am I right?"
Robin reluctantly relaxed his body from his fighting stance as the Joker smiled satisfyingly at the boy. He whipped his gun back towards the young hero and was about to pull the trigger, when an arrow flew past and knocked the gun out of his hand.
He snarled angrily in surpise as Artemis strode into the room, stopping to stand next to Robin. Another arrow already readied in her bow.
"Thanks for the save." Robin smirked at her.
"Just returning the favor." She smiled back.
They didn't have a lot of time to chat though, as the Joker brought a pen knife out from his pocket and charged at them while swiping it madly through the air.
They both dodged sideways as the clown cut in between them, and returned a punch each. The Joker blocked both and slashed his knife down at Robin, who almost didn't move in time, as the sharp blade cut away a lock of his hair.
"Get Lindsay and Adrian!" Robin shouted out before returning his attention to the fight.
Artemis shot an arrow to the Joker's feet which he dodged, before running towards the captives. Using one of her arrows, she cut their ropes and helped them up off the floor and guided them towards the doors.
The Joker noticed this out of the corner of his eyes, and threw a playing card at Robin before lunging towards Artemis, laughing madly while griping the knife firmly in his hand. Robin jumped out of the way of the razored card, twisting himself so he landed in between Artemis and the crazed clown. He managed to kick the knife out of the man's hands, but couldn't avoid a hard punch to his face.
The Joker then knee'd Robin's stomach, knocking the air out of him. Robin fell to the floor gasping for air, when the Joker turned him to face upwards and brought down his leg to the bird's chest. The young hero could no longer hol din the pain and yelled out as he felt, and heard, two or three of his ribs make a sickening crack.
Artemis quickly set the two teens near the door before turning back to the help Robin, but instead found Joker leaping at her, knocking her to the ground. She let out a pained grunt as her ankle twisted underneath when she landed. The Joker seemed to find this amusing, laughing maniacally as Artemis held her injured ankle.
He crept closer to the archer, who still manage to grab her bow and arrow, aiming it at the villain. Before it barely left her bow, the Joker caught it in his hand. He used other free hand to rip the bow from her grasped and threw in to the ground. He then stomped at it hard till it eventually broke in two.
"Woo hoo! Look what I have here! Now, let's see how it feels to be killed by your own weapon!" The Joker laughed sinisterly, his creepy smile as wide as ever. He threw his arm into the air, tightly gripping the arrow, and brought it down on the unarmed Artemis who could only close her eyes and pray that she met a quick end.
But then, Joker suddenly flew across the room like a rag doll, colliding with hard stone wall. Miss Martian came into view, and floated over to Artemis.
"Are you okay?" the Martian asked concerned.
"I'm fine. Just a twisted ankle. Go check on Robin! He's really hurt!" Artemis pleaded to Megan who nodded and went over to the Boy wonder who lay unconscious on the floor.
Superboy then blasted through the room, followed by Kid Flash and Aqualad close behind. Wally zoomed over to his best friend, while Aqualad checked on Lindsay and Adrian. Superboy took a nearby pipe and twisted it around Joker's wrist preventing him from escaping.
"Me-Miss Martian! How'sRobin! Whathappened? Ishegonnabeokay?" Wally yelled in superspeed. Worry clear in his voice.
"I'm not sure, what happened. But it looks like he's got broken ribs. We better get him some medical attention as soon as possible." replied Megan as she put her hands to her temples. Robin's body glowed slighty before he started to gently lift off the ground.
Wally followed close behind Megan as she floated up through the opening Conner created earlier, up to the gym and out through the school doors. Not long after, the were joined by Kaldur, who had Artemis's arm around his shoulder, followed by the two rescued teens, and an angry Conner, dragging a still dazed Joker behind him.
Sorry if this was another weak ending, but I felt that it was an okay place to stop at. I still hoped you guys liked it though. Anyways... PLEASE REVIEW! :D
