Thanks for the wait guys, so enjoy!
The holographic computer popped up, the screen starting off in static as all heads turned in bewilderment. Batman rushed over, but then a familiar face appeared before the screen.
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen," the Joker appeared upon the screen, there were people moving behind him and the camera was shaking a lot. "What no gasps of despair? No spit takes or anxiety attacks? Okay, how about an applaud then?"
"Joker," Batman snarled in rage, his fists clenched tightly as though he was trying not to smash something, "you're not going to get away with this. I'm going to find Robin even if I have to beat it out of you-"
"If you really want the kid back then fine," Joker smirked, all hearts stopped, "maybe I'll chop his head off and put in a box full of cards for you to find in some alleyway!"
Nearly everyone in the room unintentionally gasped only making the Joker's face scrunch from his growing smile.
"Joker! If you touch a single hair on his-"
"Well, it's far too late for that Bats!" Joker cackled hysterically as he flicked his hand up revealing the 'R' he torn off of Robin's uniform, making Batman flinch as he tried keeping his rage towards the man. "You know, after your little sidekicks destroyed Ivy's plants she wasn't too happy. Her mother plant had been destroyed and she wanted revenge, SO I said, I wonder which one of those little sidekicks blew the her precious plant up? Well, you wouldn't guess whose name came up."
"So this is for revenge!" Green Arrow stepped up. "Then you might as well come face the whole team, because Robin wasn't the only stopping her demon plants from attacking the cities."
"You would think differently if you'd seen Ivy after her 'babies' were destroyed," Joker replied seeming usually calm, but that didn't last long, "but revenge, that's her department. I've just been having a little fun is all! Now, don't look so worried. If you're that concerned I'll let you see the kid. . . ." The camera began to shake, the sound of the Joker laughter in the background making them cringe.
Then suddenly the camera stopped at a small cage, except the door was wide open and the cuffs to that had been unlocked. The cement was covered in splattered blood, but Robin was nowhere to be found. Just then the camera crashed to the floor going in and out of static.
"Where'd he go!" they heard Harley's voice yell in the background.
"Where'd he go! Where'd he go!" Joker screamed. "When I left the room I assumed that you and Ivy would stay and watch him, not go spend girl time together."
"Ivy did such a number on him it didn't seem like he'd be moving for a while, besides he's . . . blind."
That's when the camera went black and they lost transmission.
Meanwhile:
Robin dragged himself through long hallways as quick as he could, streaks of blood began to dry to his face and his horribly bruised stomach began to throb with every step. When Robin had awaken this morning his sight had returned to his, at first to blurry to even make out a face, but finally he was able to see again. As much as he had wanted to fight off Poison Ivy from torturing him some more, he had been waiting for this moment to make his escape. If he could only find his way out, but he was close.
Darkness like a swamp around his feet, but up ahead there was a room with iridescent lights shining. That's when he heard footsteps and Harley's loud voice saying something he couldn't make out, forcing himself to run his whole body screamed at him from the excruciating pain.
Making it to the room it was practically empty, except for a table with some small containers full of a bluish, green vapor like substance. Seeing the small door next to the garage door Robin knew he had found his way out, but just as he did Harley came skidding in as she threw a knife at him.
Robin groaned the knife suddenly pierced into his back, stumbling for a moment.
"Where do you think you're going!" she yelled out in a mocking manor.
Ripping the knife out from his shoulder Robin turned to see a rope tied to a hook on the ground, the rope was holding some medium sized crates. Lifting his arm to throw the knife Harley yelled out to stop his, but it was too late and the rope snapped. Letting the crates crash down between them, but some fell too close to the table holding the containers and next thing he could hear was the sound of shattering glass.
The substance puffed up everywhere, filling the room in bluish, green fog. Coughing hysterically the substance burning in his lungs like fire and made his eyes water, trying to breathe any more of it he threw himself out of the building and sprinted to town.
Meanwhile:
Wally was cracking up, his loud laughter making the team's recently anxious minds feel unnerved and Batman's furious mind only that much more on edge.
"Wally, would you stop already!" Artemis exploded at him.
"Did you hear them!" Wally calmed down. "When they came back and Robin was gone! Now that was hilarious, serves them right."
"There was also blood all over the floor," M'gann said lifeless as though she hadn't meant to say it aloud. Just the word 'blood' was making Batman's stomach turn at this point.
"And we don't even know if he actually got away from them," Superboy added.
"Guys, its Rob, the best member when it comes to stealth," Wally smirked, "one second he's standing there and the next he's gone. Give him one chance to slip away and he's disappeared, trust me, he certainly got away." Wally kicked back feeling hopeful.
"Well, we're not making any assumptions yet," Batman growled, "better safe than sorry so either help me try to figure out where this video came from or leave me to concentrate."
With that order the team shuffled into the living area.
"Just watch, when Robin shows up here," Wally went on, "I'm going to have to say I told you so."
"Oh, how could you restrain yourself from an opportunity like that!" Artemis scoffed in a sarcastic manor as he flopped down on the couch.
"I'm going to see if there's anything I can help with," Kaldur excused himself randomly.
"You all need a little more faith in Robin," Wally smirked, "like he said from day one, he's not going to hold anyone's hand so we shouldn't have to hold his."
"This is completely different," Artemis snapped, "he was kidnapped by the Joker Wally, any of could have been and you act as though it's no big deal. If you haven't noticed, Batman seems to be on his way to murder and the teams feeling pretty incomplete. God, you can be so simple minded you know that!"
After a pause Wally continued, "Look, Artemis, I'm sorry, that wasn't cool of me. . . . I just think we should be happy now that we know Robin's gonna be alright."
"We don't know anything for sure," Zatanna stepped in.
Wally sighed, "Fine, you're all right. . . . But don't think if he shows up here I'm not going to say I told you so, because I am."
"Of course, Wally," Artemis laughed under her breath.
I had a couple idea's on where I was going to take this story, I eventually came down to this one (sorry you don't know what it is yet) but I'm actually kind of worried on what you guys will think of it. If you've read my stories before they usually go into crazy, action stuff and this time I'm going at a more dramatic approach. But anyways, thanks for all the reviews and favorite stories guys. Means a lot.
