Everyone had gone back to there homes last night to process the information that they had heard but promised to return the next to help with Tweety. She herself stayed at the cave in the med bay having test run on her throughout the night and through this morning. She slept through most of it waking only when nightmares struck her. And strike her they did. Screams could be heard echoing through the hall ways of the cave as Batman franticly tried to wake her along with robin.

"Please stop! Please!" She screamed in pain frantically thrashing in the sheets of the hospital bed. A scream of pain ripped through her lips as she sobbed. Bruce was in the room quickly with Robin on his tail. Grabbing Charlie's shoulders he held her down to stop her thrashing, a rip was heard as claw marks were suddenly shown on the bed sheets. With a jolt Charlie sat up her breathing erratic her eyes a crimson red.

"Dad?" She practically whimpered out as she looked around still trying to come back to reality after her nightmare...well memory actually.

"I'm right here baby girl I've got you," he whispered wrapping his large arms around her as Dick leaned forward to hold her hand that still had claws sprouting from the nail. Slowly she began I calm till she went limp in Bruce's arms falling back to sleep as he hummed to her.

Once morning came more showed up to hear what the results of the tests had to offer.

At the moment Charlie sat on one of the couches in the large living room of the cave curled up in a blanket staring of at nothing. Any loud noise would make her flinch and it seemed that the lights were brighter then usual. All of her senses were heightened and her emotions were going crazy. She might have laughed at the moment at how off the wall her mood was but all she felt was guilt and sadness, it seemed like there wasn't really any room left in her to feel anything else.

Bruce made his was through the room with the test results in hand ready to break the news to the group. Clearing his throat to get all there attention he began.

"What ever joker did is impossible to change but we can try some treatments if-" he was cut off by Charlie standing quickly dropping the cup of water she was holding making it shatter on the floor.

Her eyes were flickering from red to blue as she franticly looked around the room. Many stepped back in fear as she did this. She began to shake as she curled into herself like she was trying to hold herself together. Little whimpers of fear left her lips as he eyes shut tightly.

"No! No more treatments!" She suddenly dropped to the floor holding her head rocking back in forth. "Please! No more! PLEASE!" She kept up the screams as Robin bolted to her side.

"Tweety!" He collapsed on the ground next to her lopping his arms around her. "Shh it's alright. No ones going to hurt you...I got ya..it's going to be ok." He rocked them back and forth calmingly. Looking up at Bruce with worried eyes he shock his head. A lot was going to have to be done to bring their little bird back to the way she was before. 10 minutes of soft whispers of reassurance and humming Dick had her slowly stand from her spot on the ground thou he never let her go.

Once she was fully calm and understood no one wanted to do any treatments on her anymore she sat back on the chair.

"Tweety I know this is a lot to ask but I need to know what he did to you," Batman asked quietly spiking everyone's interest in the conversation making them tune in.

Nodding softly she swallowed audible as she began her gruesome tale.

"When he kidnapped me he chained me up in a dark room and put this gas in there. I think it was a down graded version of joker toxin because it had similar effects but it didn't kill me." She stopped a moment to catch her breath as she was almost crying again. "The next day he started t-treatments as he called it." She closed her eyes letting a small tear slide down her face.

"It hurt so bad, ever needle burned like fire. It made me feel like I was dieing from the inside out. He then would strap me to this table." She shuddered softly as she continued. "It would electrocute me." She whimpered out holding herself. Everyone in the room hung there head as they watched the youngest of the bunch here slowly unravel and fall apart. She was so young and strong to endear even this much. "God I-I didn't know it would do this. None of them did....it was supposed to rewire my brain to make me his little soldier but it did this to me!" She yelled looking up her eyes as red as blood her nails had turned to claws and sharp fangs protruded from her mouth. Gasp were echoed through the room as they all backed away.

Looking down at her hands she closed her eyes and took a few heavy breaths. Slowly she lost the fangs and claws turning back to normal. Once her eyes were open they came back to their beautiful blue.

"I didn't know how to control it..but somewhere something in the back of my brain wanted me to kill them. It felt good. But at the same time I hated it. I lost control and I wanted it back." She sounded so disappointed in herself.

"This isn't your fault, it's jokers." Her face changed the second those words left Bruce's lips and the look almost scared him.

"Your right." She said quietly. Looking up her eyes were red again. "It's his fault and he needs to pay. He needs to die." Her voice was scary but her words were worse. Like a flip of a switch she was a completely different person.

"Tweety no we can't go around and just kill him."

"WHY NOT!" She screamed she growled after she spoke shocking them at how animalistic it was. "He deserves to die. To be ripped to shreds. I want to tear his throat out. I want to pull him limb from limb." The pure animosity in her voice and the crazed look in her eye had everyone get a small shiver of fear down their spine.

"Tweety!" The call of her name brought her out of her murderous state for a moment.

"You can't stoop to his level! Your better then him. Prove it. Show him your stronger and your gunna live through this. That your going to grow from this." Robin said taking her shoulders in her hand staring straight into her crimson eyes. She seemed to be having an inner battle with herself as she thought about what to do. Her eyes were flickering from blue to red but finally settled showing her answer.

Blue.
