Chapter Text

Chapter 1-

 

Drip Drip Drip



The sound of the drops echoed all around him, but where was he? How did he get there? The last thing he remembered was going into a building… Then an explosion. He remembered that he was chasing -

 

“For fuck's sake someone fix that damn pipe!”  

 

Joker. It was him. His high distinct high pitched voice sounded loudly through the chamber. That's who he was after. Although now, it was Joker who had captured Robin, instead of the other way around. 

 

But it should be fine… right? Batman would save him. He always did. 

 

Robin felt pain around his chest, his arms…And his back, what… Was that? Should he open his eyes just a bit to see what it was? Or should he wait for the Joker to step away. 

He knew Joker was near him just a few feet away. He could feel the clown near him. Jittering with excitement….. 

 

Suddenly he heard two pairs of footsteps heading towards him, more goons perhaps? He was taken by surprise when cold water was dumped on his head. He managed to keep his eyes shut, thankfully. Batman had instilled this in him in training. 

 

“Dammit!! He's still out like a light? Does Bats not let this kid sleep during the day or WHAT?” Joker whined

 

The frustration was clear in his voice. Jason kept still, breathing-even slightly, hurt. His chest was bursting with pain, he couldn't even feel his legs entirely, he wasn't sure what it was but it was digging into his arms and chest. From all directions. Forcing him to stay leaned over, if he moved, they'd dig right into his back. 

 

That all didn't matter though as the next thing he felt was a powerful kick right on his chest. The spikes went deeper into his skin and Jason couldn't stop the cry that escaped his lips. He was sent crashing onto the floor, his head banged on the floor as the leg of the wooden chair he was tied to broke. The spikes dug ever so deeper into his back. 

 

“Aha! Now you're awake!” Joker said cheerfully, grinning down at the injured teen. 

 

Robin finally opened his eyes and looked around. 

He was on a stone floor. Probably in a cave, Joker was standing there, in the dark, his eyes fixed right into Jason's when he saw them, his grin widened. 

 

The cave they were in was massive Jason couldn't see the top at least. Jason didn't have the chance to look at anything else however, Joker grabbed his collar and pulled him up. Keeping the chair from falling.

 

“It was very helpful of you to pass out like that! It made transporting you here easier!” Joker said, still in that sick high pitched voice, grinning like the madman he was. 

 

Jason spat blood on the floor, his mouth tasting like copper. “You won't get away with this you clown! Batman will find me!” Jason said, glaring up at him. Joker looked at him. Then chuckled. And then burst out into laughter. Tears coming out of his eyes. “O-Oh! You stupid boy! Bat-HAHAHAH-Batman won't come for you! You're mine now!” 

 

And Jason lost all consciousness as his head was slammed on the stone floor. Joker hummed an old song to himself as he grabbed something else. Grinning sinisterly. Hopefully Batman came soon… . .
