Gotham City
Abandon Toy Factory
Dick woke with a groan. His body hurt even worse than when he woke up last time. His throat was sore and raw from the laughing. And his cheeks hurt from smiling so much. He looked around realizing he was still the dark room they had placed him in. He shifted in his seat a little. Only for a jolt of pain to go up his left arm; he muffled a cry. He looked down at his left wrist. Blood was still coming out of his hand. Only a lot less than before, the cuff they had put on his hand was stopping the blood from flowing.
'Bruce, please hurry.'
Gotham City
Park Row
Batman stalked through Park Row. He was standing outside of a building waiting for someone. He had called in for back up after he couldn't find any of the bombs. A shadow appeared above him and dropped down in front of him.
"Why'd you call Bats? Aren't you supposed to be doing some sort of hero business with that little bird of yours?" a feminine voice said in the darkness.
"I need your help Selina." The shadowed figure stepped out. Showing a woman in a cat like outfit, with a whip on her side. She was admiring her sharp claws that were attached to her black gloves.
"Wow, the big bad Batman needs help from little old me?"
"I need to know on Joker's recent activity."
"I heard he teamed up with Two Face and Ivy. Is it true?" she asked curiously.
Batman simply nodded.
"That's Red for you. Moving up in this world well others have to deal with the low life scum. And maybe I should stop by Harv's and congratulate him. But you know how much he would loath that."
"Have anyone been talking about any bombs?" Ignoring what she had said before.
"Not that I'm aware of. But Riddler did say something about you the other day."
"What?"
"I remember going to the Ice Pick Club, he was sitting at one of the stools talking to a bunch of idiots. He started talking about how Joker was finally going to beat you. That he was finally going to get the money he needed. Some of the men asked how he knew this. He said something… oh what was it?"
"I need you to remember Selina."
"I'm just joking with you Bats. If it's really that important to you… I guess I can tell you. I shouldn't… but… you are The Batman." Selina smirked. "He said, and I quote: "How do you keep a secret from a bat? You stick it right in front of his long pointy nose… and wait." Most of the men at the table started laughing. As if they thought it was just one of Riddler's stupid games."
"Joker told me this once."
"What did it mean?"
"He had a decoy for me to follow and take down instead of him. I didn't figure out until it was almost too late."
"How did you win then, because you obviously haven't lost to the Joker yet?"
"Robin figured it out minutes before I found out the decoy was Clay Face. He took Joker down just before he could finish his task at hand."
"Speaking of the bird tell him I said hi. I don't see him as often now. But anyway, have fun trying to figure it out this time." With that Catwoman grabbed her whip and attached it to a lamp post. She started swinging off away from the Bat.
Gotham City
Bioship
The team flew over Gotham, looking for any clues at where this Dick Grayson kid could be. The video gave them no clues as to where they were. And they knew the boy – and possibly the city – didn't have much time left. They needed to hurry and find something that would lead them to him. Superboy looked at his team for a second. Just now realizing the empty seat to the right of Miss. M. "Batman didn't explain why Robin wasn't coming." Superboy stated.
The rest of the team looked at him. Wally was starting to panic. He was hoping the team wouldn't notice the absence of a certain raven haired hacker. "Yeah, where is bird boy?" Artemis asked, glancing in Wally's direction.
"He… uh… called me saying that he wouldn't make it." Wally lied through his teeth. "He said that… uh… he got hit with… um…. Joker venom last night. He told me that Bru-… uh… Batman ordered him to stay home. He's not breathing very well. So… he's taking a day of."
"Why would he tell you, Baywatch?" Artemis asked, not fully convinced.
"Were best friends, we tell each other everything." It wasn't a lie at least.
"If he tells you everything, then did he tell you about any villains that would be most likely to work with Ivy, Joker, or Two Face? You know, ones that we can get answers out of?"
"…Um…" Wally thought for a second, and then he remembered something. "Yes! He did tell me something! Miss. M, change our course."
"Where to?" she asked confused.
"Arkham Asylum."
Robin: What's with you and cliff hangers?

Robin: So who's this villain their going to get answers out of?
Me: You'll just have to find out!

Me: Don't get used to it! This was a one time thing!
Robin: Review!
