A/N Hello all my reader's and reviewers, what did you think of my latest chapter? I am sorry if it takes me a little while to update, but life can get hard at times, so this chapter is for you guys! Please enjoy.
WARNING: THIS CHAPTER IS RATED T FOR SOME BLOODY SCENS, AND VIOLENCE! JUST THOUGHT I SHOULD GIVE YOU GUYS A FAIR WARNING!
Previously: "Well, the boss said to watch you, but he never said we couldn't rough you up a little." The goon said with a laugh.
Robin's eyes widened as the goon started to run at him with the sharp knife.
*Justice League Head Quarters*
"I want all available League member's searching for any trace or clue to Joker's whereabouts." Batman said to Superman as they made their way into the JL counsel room.
"We already have Green Lantern and Wonder Women down at the warehouse searching for anything that might get us a little closer to Joker's hideout." Clark replied while following closely behind Batman.
"Have they found anything at all?" Batman questioned, sounding a little flustered.
"No, there was no evidence or any sign of where he might be. The only thing they found was this note." Superman said upon entering the council room.
"Let me see that." Batman demanded as he grabbed the note off of the table, he then unwrapped the note and read it out loud.
Dear Batsy,
Stick around for the show tonight at 6:00 A.M sharp, it will be a shocker!
Sincerely the Joker.
Batman then crushed the fragile pieces of paper in his hand. "I swear if that maniac does anything to Robin I will personally kill him." Batman threatened, as he roughly threw the crinkled letter across the table and walked towards a large glass covered window.
"Bruce you need to calm down." Clark said, as he cautiously approached the now enraged man.
"Don't you tell me to calm down; you don't know how it feels because you don't have a child!" He screamed at the man of steel. He then slammed his fist with great force into the nearest wall, giving it a good sized dent.
Superman stood there shocked. Even though Bruce didn't want to admit it; nevertheless, Superman could see that his colleague (His close friend) was in distress about this whole situation and more than anything Clark wanted to help relieve some of it. "We will find him Bruce, I can promise you that."
Bruce didn't reply or object to Clark's words, he just stared out the large window.
"Bruce I…" Superman started to say again, but was cut off by Batman.
"I just… I just need a minute." The Dark Knight simply stated not turning away from the window.
Superman silently nodded and then slowly made his way to the door lost deeply in his own thoughts. When Bruce had finally heard the double doors shut, he slowly slid down to the floor, and let out a long sigh.
"Where are you Dick?" Bruce whispered slamming his fists into the hard cold floor.
*Back at Jokers hideout*
Robin quickly tried to dodge the knife that was coming at him, but it was too late. Too late to do anything…
The knife instantly struck him in his abdomen and blood immediately poured from his wound and hit the floor. Everything in the room started to spin, as pain started to take its toll on him once again. Soon enough there was a small pool of blood covering the cement floor.
The goon stood there still holding the knife in Robin's abdomen. He just stood there looking utterly shocked, so Robin quickly took the opportunity to try and get away from the goon why he was in his dazed state. Robin swiftly pulled himself backwards and then he flipped his feet into the air and kicked the goon in the face. As soon as the goon hit the ground, Robin tried to take a run for the back door but his abdomen instantly started to burn; however, he kept moving.
His battered body was screaming for him to stop, but Robin knew as soon as he stopped moving those goons would get a hold of him again and he would surely be punished for trying to run for it.
"Get back here you little brat." One of the goon yelled as he pulled himself off of the ground and started to run after Robin.
"Where did he go?" The other goon questioned.
"Great, now I have to take these dummy's down before I can get out of here." Robin said to himself.
"I'm home! And I…" Joker never got to finish his sentence before he saw both of his goons lying on the ground.
"What happened? Where is the Bat's little brat?" Joker growled at his two goons. Joker then took a step forward and started to slip in something wet; he looked down to see a small puddle of blood beneath his feet. He then looked over to his goons. "Who's responsible for this?" Joker questioned pointing to the crimson puddle.
Both of the goons quickly stood up and started to brush themselves off. "Well, it was kind of my fault boss," one of the goons started to admit. "I kind of stabbed him because he was trying too…" Suddenly there was a loud bang and the goon who was spilling his guts to Joker was dead.
The goon instantly fell to the ground with a thud as red liquid started to pore from his head onto the floor.
"What are you standing around for?" Joker yelled at the goon that was staring at the still body in front of him. "Get out there and start looking for him, unless you want to end up like our little friend here." Joker said motioning the gun towards the backdoor which was now wide open.
The goon instantly pulled his gaze away from his now dead partner and then turned back and faced Joker again. "Yes, right away sir." The goon replied as he hurried out the backdoor.
"Quit bleeding all over my floor." Joker said, while giving the now dead goon a kick the side.
Joker then turned and saw a bloody knife laying on the floor, with a trail of blood leading out the backdoor. Joker smiled, knowing that this trail of blood could lead him right to Robin.
"Good little birdie." Joker said as he made his way out the backdoor.
*Outside not far from the warehouse*
Robin was trying to get as far away from the warehouse as he could, but he couldn't move as fast as he usually due to his injuries.
"I need to move a little faster before Joker's dummies start looking for me." Robin thought to himself.
He looked down at his abdomen and saw that his poor attempt to stop the bleeding by applying pressure wasn't working. Robin slowly leaned up against a tall tree that he was hiding behind and tried to take a couple of deep breaths.
Suddenly Robin heard footsteps behind him; he slowly peeked over the side of the tree and saw one of Joker's goons.
"Here little birdie, come out come out wherever you are." The goon said in a sing-song voice.
"Does he really think I'm that stupid?" Robin whispered to himself.
Robin quickly looked up the tree that he was leaning against. The tree looked about 35 feet high, maybe taller. Robin thought for a moment and then looked around, there was no other option, so he slowly grabbed a hold of the side of the tree and started to pull himself up.
It wasn't easy climbing the tree because of the snow that was still melting from there recent snow storm, and the fact that everything hurt like hell, but he knew he had to at least make it half way up the tree or else he would be a goner for sure. Robin slowly grabbed a hold of another tree branch, and started to pull himself up; however, the tree branch that he grabbed was loose and couldn't handle his weight. Just at that moment, the fragile limb gave away and Dick started to fall.
Robin quickly tried to grab for anything to stop his fall, but it was too late. Robin landed hard onto the snowy ground, instantly he felt the cold snow start to seep through his costume.
Breathing instantly became harder and black spots started to cloud his vision, but he still had to keep moving. Which seemed pretty impossible to do at that moment.
Finally after a few hard tries, Robin was finally back on his feet. Slowly he turned around to make sure nobody was behind him and thankfully no one was. Robin let out a small sigh of relief, and then he slowly turned back around.
"BOO!" Joker screamed as he jumped out from behind a tree.
Robin quickly jumped back and almost lost his balance, but was able to keep himself standing.
"Where did you think you were going little Birdie? Did you think you were going to get away? Were at the edge of Gotham city kiddo in some secluded forest! There's nowhere to run, and there's nowhere to hide and nobody will come looking for you out here!" Joker stated with a devilish grin.
Robin quickly tried to run, but Joker knew that Robin wasn't going to get far with his injuries. "This is going to be a blast." Joker thought to himself with a smile.
(Break)
Robin's sides ached. He so desperately wanted to stop, but he knew that, that deranged nut case wasn't far behind him.
"There has to be some way out of this forest, I need to find a way." Robin pondered to himself.
Robin finally came to a deserted road. There were no cars; there were no people, there was nothing. The only thing that was there was a sign that read "Leaving Gotham."Robin instantly lit up knowing that there was some hope of escaping this freak, but he was wrong. As soon as Robin took a step forward he was instantly hit in the head with something hard.
Robin quickly fell to the ground, as something warm started to trickle down the side of his head. Everything around him started to spin, as darkness started to invade his vision. The last thing Robin saw before he lost consciousness was the Joker smiling and than nothing.
