++++++ This chapter was super, super hard for me to right.
I do apologize if it triggers anything-I really, really am.
Keep in mind for later, that the characters in this chapter will be around again.
I will also remind you that all my DC-verse fics are 50% canon and 50% AU.

Twenty-Two
The first thing I hear is the sound of dripping water in room.
Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
Over and over again.
My body is completely numb.
I can breathe fine and move my eyes but I can't move my body. I was lying on my side on a thin mattress in a muggy, humid room.
"Note to self-little less Ketamine next time." Someone kicked me over onto my back-the woman in the mask but without the mask. I could see her clearly now, she was young, about River's age. She most definitely would stick out in a crowd with her white hair and the eyepatch she was wearing-wait-they eyepatch. She smirked. "I can see it in your little brain-you just figured it out, didn't you? My name is Rose. Rose Wilson."
Jesus, how many kids did this guy have?
She smiled and cupped my face. "I have to say, this has been quite an entertaining enterprise, kidnapping the great hero Pisces herself. Twenty-four hours and no one has even noticed you're missing."
Yeah right, I thought, rolling my eyes.
"You're just a means to an end," Rose smirked, "it's my little sister we want."
We? I thought. Looking to the corner of my eyes, I could see a figure standing behind Rose and he was the dead spitting image of Slade Wilson
"Speaking of, sister mine," the clone frowned, "should you not be heading out to fetch the little bitch?" he asked.
"Patience brother mine," Rose replied. "She'll have her show. Just don't touch the girl until I get back." She walked from my field of vision and the man remained.
"In case you're wondering, it's Joseph," he smirked. "Be patient-she'll be back soon," he whispered. "Then we can have some fun."
"The original plan was to extend our fathers invitation to Suki," Joseph spoke once Rose was gone. "But finding out what she did to him-helping the Arrow and his little friends imprison our father-well the plan is to use her to get him out. Or kill her and do it anyway. You're just the fun part out of all this."
He came over and easily sat me up against the wall. "Handy little drug this," he told me, "stops you from being able to move anything but your eyes and to breathe." Joseph stuck a needle in my neck and threw it across the room once he was done. "Every three hours to stop those pesky little powers of yours."
I gave him my best I'm gonna kill you stare.
Joseph stood and pulled his shirt off revealing a series of scars and tattoos littered across his chest and arms. "This is going to get a little messy," he exclaimed before he backhanded me across the face.
Blood dribbled down my chin after he hit me a second time. God I couldn't even spit it out.
Joseph balls his fist and punched me. "Hell it's no fun when they can't scream back." He smirked and started to remove his belt, "
I looked around the room in a panic, trying to focus all my attention on the water in the room. I couldn't even move the sweat on my back.
Joseph ripped through the dress that I was wearing, cutting into my skin as he did so. I cried out internally in pain as the knife sliced through my skin like butter. "The look in their eyes, the panic," Joseph whispered, biting the space between my shoulder and my neck
I closed my eyes and winced at the sudden and unwanted intrusion. I'm so sorry, I whispered in my head over and over again. Oh Barry I'm so, so sorry.
He wrapped his hands around my throat and started choking me. He'd relieve the pressure for a split second but when he drove himself into my body he press down hard until my face turned red.
Using my throat to prop himself up, Joseph raised his fist and punched me in the face. "Wait until she sees my master piece," he whispered in my ear seconds before he bit down on my breast, drawing blood.
Joseph laughed at the screams in the back of my throat. "Rose is never this much fun," he smirked. He started strangling me again, pushing all his body weight down on my throat as I tried to focus on the wall to the right.
He punched me again, I felt blood in the back of my throat as his movements became sharper, more violent until he lunged one more time. Joseph kept his grip on my throat as he came inside me.
I closed my eyes as tears rolled out, pooling in my ears and my hair.
He bit down on my skin above my breast one more time and got up to light a cigarette. "Such a supple beauty," Joseph whispered. "You're mine now. I think I might keep you." He put his pants back on and puffed some smoke in my face. Crossing the room, he looked out the window. "Ah-sister mine is back…and she has her prize."
A few minutes later door opened and I heard footsteps come in.
"CHARLIE!" Suki screamed.
Hearing her voice pulled me out of the little daze I was in.
"CHARLIE! WHAT DID YOU DO!" She screamed. I couldn't see her but I could hear the commotion that was going on ahead of me. She screamed in anger. "YOU HARM A SINGLE HAIR ON HER HEAD I WILL KILL YOU ALL!"
"Brother mine, what exactly did you do whilst I was gone?" Rose demanded to know.
He shrugged. "Sampled the goods. She's rather smooth, sister mine."
Rose screamed in a rage. I couldn't see but soon I heard the sound off a guy screaming and Joseph laughing. Then Suki screamed.
"They're just eyeballs, sister mine," Joseph laughed.
I heard the sound of smashing glass and I heard someone scream until something suddenly stopped them.
"Charlie why aren't you healing?" Suki demanded to know. "Charlie!"
"She's been drugged," Rose told her. "So she can't use those pesky little powers of hers." She learn over Suki and ripped her head back via a vice grip on her hair. "You're going to contact Amanda Waller for a trade-off."
Suki laughed. "You are a dumb bitch," she told her. "Amanda Waller trades nothing for nobody. She's more than likely to bomb the entire city over and over again than trade anyone for me. I don't even work for her anymore. And even if I did, I'd never do what you want."
Rose looked over at Joseph who smirked. "Since you've spoilt the fun, I'm sure Suki would enjoy the view of her little fish with some of the guys."
"FUCK YOU, WHORE!" Suki screamed. Suki grunted in pain when Joseph punched her in the face.
He grabbed Suki under the chin. "We're going to have some fun with you," he smirked.
She spat blood in his face and he hit her again.
"Hands off fuckwit," spoke a familiar gravelly voice. Joseph was struck in the back of the head and knocked to the ground when Nightwing burst into the room.
I couldn't see what was going on but a few minutes later, gunfire erupted through the warehouse and I could feel hands on my body again. Looking up, Suki wrapped her arms around me and held me close as the fight carried on around us. She looked down at me. "I'm so sorry I have to do this," she whispered. She pressed down on the area behind the back of my ears.
Panic started to set in when I noticed my vision starting to blur…the last thing I felt was Suki rocking me in her arms and humming…
