Chapter 3

…Bludhaven

Nightwing was chasing Red Hood through an alley. He was furious. Over the past few weeks half of his family had been killed and Red Hood was responsible.

"Get back here!" he yelled furiously, launching several Batarangs at him. But he easily swatted them away.

*BLAMBLAMBLAM*

He fired three shots that gave him a chance to slip away.

Nightwing followed. "Why did you betray us?!" He acted like he knew who Red Hood was, but it wasn't an act and they both knew it. "Jason!"

Nightwing tackled Red Hood off a building and they both plummeted into the street, horrifying the pedestrians.

They traded blow after blow after blow. Each time they seemed to get stronger, both hated the other, but it was Nightwing who came out on top. Red Hood was already tired from fighting street gang after street gang, but Nightwing was fresh from the manor and well rested.

"Tell me why?" Nightwing pressed his Escrima against Jason's throat.

Jason's helmet was cracked, one of his eyes visible through the missing area of his helmet. Nightwing was bleeding and he guessed that Jason was just as hurt as he was, but he wasn't letting go.

…

Black Bat and Robin where on their way. They were both on bikes, racing to the beacon that Nightwing had triggered. When they got there, they saw Nightwing interrogating Red Hood, but they also saw a knife pierce Dick's back.

It didn't kill him, but it did give time for Talia to drag Jason from the sidewalk. Both of them stood before Damian and Black Bat.

Talia and Jason were better than both of them, beating them both with expert teamwork. "Your helmet is broken"

"I can see that" Jason said, slightly annoyed.

"Come on. Let's go. We need to formulate a plan."

...Hotel, safehouse

Talia was getting out of the shower, having already dried off she was only wearing her underwear, Jason had already showered and was sitting on the edge of a bed. "Nice shower?" he asked.

"Yeah. Stop worrying. You lost one fight but you'll get him eventually." She reassured him, sitting behind him and wrapping her arms around his neck. "Forget about them. At least for tonight."

She kissed him gently on the cheek. He turned and kissed her passionately. He pushed her back on the bed so that he was on top of her, they continued to kiss, he slid his hand up her back and undid her bra.

She removed his shirt and tossed the bra aside, closing one of his hands around her breast and massaging it erotically to which she moaned gently in response.

They continued to kiss, he slid off his boxers and thrusted deeply into her making her moan and he continued to thrust rhythmically, she continued to moan. He kissed her neck and she kissed his.

"Ja-son" she struggled as she reached her climax, but he didn't stop. He continued to thrust rhythmically until her climaxed as well.

…

The next morning, he woke up with Talia lying on his chest, breathing softly. He couldn't help but smile when he watched her sleep. But then she woke up and caught him staring which made her smile. "Watching me sleep huh? That isn't polite."

"You're cute when you sleep." He blushed slightly. She smiled. Sometimes with how brutal he could be she forgot that he was still young and naïve. But before she found herself lost in his blue eyes she sat up, stretching.

"What's your plan?" she asked him.

"You think I had time to think that through? I mean I'm good but not that good" he smiled slightly. She did too. They stared at each other for a moment but both broke off before they lost focus, he coughed awkwardly, and she moved to a drawer which had her clothes in.

"You're going to need a plan. And I'm helping this time" she stated concretely.

He sighed. "Fine, I won't argue, but we also need a plan. We should start by taking out the newbies and leave the tougher targets for last."

"You're suggesting we go for Damian first?"

"Not him. Black Bat first. She's not exactly a team player, and she's paired with Batgirl which makes her and easier target than going for Robin and Nightwing."

"Alright. Are you sure you can kill her though?"

"Yeah. No problem. She's one of them after all."

...Gotham

Black Bat and Batgirl were on a roof, watching over the city while watching out for Red Hood and Talia, who had been reported as working with him.

*BLAMBLAM*

Two shots. One missed, the other hit Black Bat in the leg. But it didn't take her down. Talia dropped onto the roof and began fighting the two of them. Red Hood didn't follow, instead he remained on the building ledge, but he pulled a larger gun from beside him and took aim.

He fired and hit Black Bat again. He fired whenever he saw an opening that gave him an opportunity to hit one of them.

He had Talia were well coordinated and it showed, within a minute Black Bat was dying and Talia had restrained Batgirl. But they could hear the Batmobile closing in. "Move Talia. I'll kill her now" Jason jumped down and aimed at Barbara.

She waited until the last possible second before stopping him. Talia grabbed the gun and span him, pulling him close she kissed him. When they parted she smiled softly. "No. I have another way to remove her. You don't have to kill her. We can make her join us."

Holstering his weapon, he and Talia left. Black Bat bleeding at the buildings ledge. Talia stabbed her as they passed. Jason carrying the unconscious Batgirl.

…

"Damian is next then. But I'll deal with the kid alone. Do whatever you want with her" Jason waved and grappled from the building they stopped on. Batman and Nightwing were on their trail, but they were several minutes behind.

Talia sighed, but she knew killing her son was the only way to complete Jason's ambition, and that was more important, so he could finally move on with her.

…Batcave

Damian was waiting for Jason, his mask removed, sitting at the main computer in the cave. "I figured that you'd come here eventually. They tried to keep quiet about you to begin with, pretend that there was no way a Robin could be doing all this. I knew though. Only someone with my father's training could pull this all off, too bad you've lost."

"And how'd you figure that? I've killed half of you, and soon you'll join them."

"I trained with both my father and grandfather. You're beneath me" he said proudly.

"Oh yeah. No kidding. I've trained with Ras too, and I got special training from your mom. Not to mention the extra years I had training with Bruce in comparison to you. I also toured the world with Talia, training in everything you could think of just so I could do this." He aimed and fired.

Damian dodged and threw several Batarangs. Jason blocked them, but didn't move from the spot. Then with two Batarangs sticking out of his gauntlet he fired again, then removed them and threw them in front of Damian to force him to dodge.

*BLAM*

He missed again.

He moved gracefully, leaping toward Damian and starting to fight him. Damian was good, landing in some hits, but Jason was better. He grabbed the kid and slammed him into a console, shocking him then putting a bullet in his leg.

Damian whined at the pain, but he didn't give up. He slammed his foot into Jason's knee and knocked him back.

Sliding forward he elbowed Jason in the stomach then jumped and span, kicking him in the face.

Jason was shocked that Damian could still move so fast, and with the beating Damian dished out while he was distracted Jason's head was spinning.

Damian stabbed him with a Batarang and kicked him again, but this time his kick was caught and Jason threw him against the wall and repeatedly began striking him in the face.

But he took too long. Batman and Nightwing emerged. Jason fired into Damian's chest and kicked Bruce before he could hit him.

Nightwing however managed to hit him in the chest with his Escrima and then grabbed him, putting him in a headlock and wrapping his legs around his stomach so that Jason couldn't escape.

They hit him with gas and knocked him out.

…

Jason woke up in the back of an armoured truck with his gear removed. There was a metal case with his gear in it, or at least that's what he thought was in it, he was probably right. There were four cops in the back with him, each with guns aimed at him. His hands and legs were both chained and he could barely move.

"Do you seriously think that this'll hold me?" Jason snarled.

"The Bat beat you. Like he does with everyone. You're just another criminal."

"Just another criminal huh. I killed half of the bats by myself. Batwoman, Robin, Red Robin, Bluebird, Spoiler that kid with the yellow suit, Black Bat and Batgirl… actually she's not dead, but she's mine now" he threatened, grinning cruelly.

The officers gulped. They could tell he wasn't lying.

...Arkham

He was thrown into a cell. He was next to the Joker and Harley, in between the crazed couple. "Great, it's you" he sighed, realising who he was next to, from the light chuckling.

"One of Batsie's kids is back to play. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

*BANG*

His fisted echoed as it hit the metal wall. "Shut up clown!" he demanded, but the Joker continued to laugh. "You're on my list too. Laugh while you can."

He collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep, after some effort of ignoring the laughter.

...Undisclosed Location

"WRAAAAH!" Talia tossed an assassin across the room, then flipped a table. Tears were rolling down her face as she raged. She had just heard that Jason had been captured. She had accepted that Damian had died but it was harder to accept that Jason was apart from her.

"Ugh" the assassin groaned. She stabbed him and as she watched his body fall sighed heavily.

"We need to get him back. Find a way into that prison. And prepare a distraction for Batman." She left the room angry, wiping away her tears.

Ras was in the other room waiting for her. "I'm disappointed in you, daughter" he said plainly.

"Why? You wanted me to love him and now I do. I tried not to but it didn't work, after two years with him I accepted him as my beloved and my betrothed. I will not let them take him away from me."

"Jason will find his own way out or he doesn't deserve you" he left without saying another word, but she knew she couldn't disobey, so she called her assassins off.

…Arkham

Jason was throwing a ball against a metal plate in the wall that adjoined his cell to Harley's. She was looking through the grate in the wall with a massive smile. "Whatcha doin'?"

"Same thing as five seconds ago" he said plainly.

She repeated her question over and over, until her couldn't take it anymore. He stood up and kicked the grate, knocking it out of the wall.

He couldn't fit through it but he could pull her through. She was smaller and more flexible. He pushed her against the wall and hid her as the guard came to check each of the cells.

By coincidence he had kicked the grate as Croc was being moved back into his cell so the sound was covered up by the monster. "Heh" she giggled when he pressed her harder against the wall.

"Shut up" he threatened.

He had no idea why. Maybe he was just wound up too much but he kissed her, unlike when he kisses Talia his kiss with Harley was rough and forceful. The guards weren't paying much attention and he kept her silent with a kiss.

She bit his lip. It bled but he ignored it and opened her prison shirt and slipped off her orange trousers. Just like this kiss he thrust into her deeply and roughly. She moaned but he bit her lip and deepened the kiss further. He grabbed her butt with one hand and with the other he supported her back.

He had lifted her off the ground and she was pressed against the ground. She seemed delighted, consumed by whatever drove her lust.

"AH… ah, ah, ah, ah… Yahtzee!" she yelled as she climaxed. He climaxed a second later, not bothering to pull out, finishing inside her and dropping her onto the sorry excuse for a bed he had.

…

The guards didn't discover what they did. She happily slid back through the grate and pushed the grate back into place so it looked like nothing hand changed.

It was rumoured that Harley and the Joker had fallen out, apparently, he tried to kill her too many times and she actually split from him. It was messed up but it might work in Jason's favour, it didn't occur to him the first time, but if he could get her to go nuts for him he could use her to escape.

He couldn't get out if it was just him, Bruce and Dick would be keeping a close eye on him, and he doubted that Ras would let Talia get involved so he had to get out on his own. Harley was crazy, but she could fight too and that would be handy if they were going to escape.

For the next few days he played the part of the good, slightly insane prisoner.

He and Harley grew closer and he felt as though he could control her, at least partially. "When are we gonna bust outta this dump" she rocked impatiently.

"Tonight" he whispered.

She smiled and started to laugh manically, which he ignored.

…

The guards were changing shifts when Jason slipped out of his cell, typing in the code, he opened Harley's cell too, closing the doors behind them both.

Jason was quick, elegant but Harley fought brutally. She beat a guard's head onto the wall and he had to hold her back before she bit off his ear.

"What's wrong little Bats-" he cut her off by kissing her roughly.

"Shut up and do as I say" he pulled her along by her hand. She blushed slightly and followed, skipping slightly.

They knocked out guard after guard on their way to the upper levels, where they found a storage room. Red Hood's stuff wasn't there but Harley's was and she changed quickly, emerging with a gun and massive mallet. Red Hood opened the container that belonged to Deadshot, something they confiscated when they briefly caught him. He now had guns.

The rest was easy for the duo. They broke out. But waiting for them was Batman, with Nightwing by his side. The last fighting members of the family. "Hehehe" Harley giggled before cartwheeling toward Nightwing, kicking him. "Let's let them have some alone time" she fought erratically and he still hadn't healed from when Talia stabbed him.

"Why do all this? Why Jason?" Batman asked.

"You left me… you left me with the clone. You left me to do. Even when I was gone, coming back would've been easy, but you replaced me in no time, you didn't even get revenge for me. What kind of a father are you?!" he was enraged, Batman could tell. Harley was intrigued by what he was saying and Nightwing cuffed her in the window that she was distracted.

*KRAK*

Jason span, kicking Nightwing in the head and knocking him over. Batman moved to intervene but Talia arrived. "We need to talk about her love" she stated, grinning slightly, already knowing what he had done to get Harley onside.

Jason and Dick fought, evenly matched, or at least it seemed that way despite the injuries they had endured. But the fight ended. Several quick strikes to the gut followed by three.

*BLAMBLAMBLAM*

Each one penetrating Nightwing's armour, he was dead and only Batman remained. Batman's anger took hold, he easily beat Talia and beat Red Hood like a drum, punching and kicking erratically, and yet it seemed calculated.

"You… you'll fight… this hard for… *cough* him" Jason stated through the blood. "He was always… your favourite."

*BONK*

Harley came to Jason's rescue, hitting Batman into a wall, while laughing, she helped Jason to his feet and Talia followed as they left. They had killed one more member of the Bat family and gained a member of their own in Harley.
