Recap:

I felt my back hit the wall as the lights switched off again. He heard his footsteps and I saw him closer. The lights flickered off again.

They stayed off for a bit this time. I didn't hear anything.

I felt someone's breath of my face. Then the lights switched on, the insane green eyes were all I could see. He was smiling like he won the lottery. My eyes were wide as I tried to move back. But the wall wanted me to stay. I looked in either direction and saw I was in a corner. I couldn't move.

My breaths were caught in my lungs; I could barely breathe as I saw him stand tall in front of me.

"Looks like you're stuck between a rock and a hard place." He said and laughed. My heart stopped as I saw his fist come and connect with my face. My head slammed against the wall as his foot came in connected with my stomach. I wheezed out as he kicked me against the wall. "You won't do that again. Understood?" he said and my body froze.

The beating didn't scare me. The one thing that scared me was of how much he sounded like Dad.

A touchy subject to me is love. I loved my parents regardless of what they did to me. But; in the words of Edgar Allen Poe, 'I was never insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched.'

Sure, both my parents abused me harshly, but I could never hate them. I love them to much that it makes me scared of them.

"Never!" I yelled and wiggled in my leather restraints. The fear in my voice was defined. I was terrified. Just the thought of what she said was terrifying. She simply laughed. Joker made the choice to bring Poison Ivy here. "I'll never become a killer!" I yanked and pulled at the leather cuffs around my wrists and ankles.

"Shhh Birdie. You're being too loud." she cooed and trailed a finger down my side. My body went frigid under her touch. I shook under her touched. For once, I was generally scared. The lights flickered lightly as I felt the metal examination table under her vibrate lightly. "Who could that be?" she mumbled to herself.

I saw the door bust open and I flinched at the noise of the door hitting the wall with a loud bang. Bane walked through the doors. "Hola amigos." he said, his Hispanic accent showing, he wasn't hyped up on Cobra Venom for once in his life. His luchador mask in the shape almost like a spider, it was before. Now it was a much more defined one, the mask moved as he talked. The spider moved all over the mask. "Yo soy aquί." he spoke in Spanish. Ivy rolled her eyes. His Spanish was horrible. I feel like something good or bad will happen, I can't tell though. My mind was running at a million miles an hour.

"I don't speak Spanish. Robin undoubtingly does." she crossed her arms and Bane rolled his eyes. It's not until now that I realized how much villains actually argue with each other.

"I said.'I'm here.'" Bane replied and looked at me. I felt something dig into my side and I bit the inside of my cheek. Thorns. I clenched my eyes closed. I've never felt this scared, not even with my parents. I hate it.

"Tch. Tch. Tch." She clicked her tongue at me and took out the thorn, my body was already sweating, it didn't help that the examination lamp was over me. I don't like Morgues. "Not very smart for you to get caught, Robin. Running away from your group was childish." she taunted, wanting me to get angry. My eyes snapped open, but all I saw was her disorienting face. Joker gave me this orange chemical. I think its fear gas. But I couldn't since everyone was fuzzy.

"Huh. I thought that'd be a touchier subject for you." she said and made a cut down my jaw. After the 11 somewhat hours of torture she and Harley have been giving me, I'd say I look awful.

"Don't worry Ivy. He'll be fine. Not too sure about you though." Bane said and knocked Ivy out. My eyes widened slightly as I flinched, I didn't know why he would do that. Wait. M'gaan.

She morphed out of Bane and let out a relieved sight. "Robin. Thank god you're okay." she said and started to undo my leather cuffs. I'm sure, no, I'm positive that my wrists were raw.

I felt a gust of cold air flow into the room. Beside her I could barely make out Wally. "Robin!" he yelled and wrapped my cape would me. He picked me up, I felt dizzy. It might be taking me to my dreams. "Stay with me." he said and looked down at me. I felt a sensation of warm spread through my forehead as I rested my head against his shoulder.

"Yeah Bats. We found him." Wally said and I closed my eyes. My chest moved up and down evenly. "Yeah. We're inbound now."

"You got him KF?" I heard Roy. Soon, I couldn't hear anything. There was a distant buzzing in the distance. I couldn't make it out. Then it developed to a loud ringing.

"We need to get him to the Medical Bay immediately. His ears are bleeding!" I heard distant yelling until I felt nothing. All I saw blackness. Soon; my subconscious shut off too.

"ROBIN!!"
