Chapter 8: Save Me
Dick's POV
I groaned as I tried to open my eyes. What had happened? Where am I? Questions like this swam in my head until a flood of memories came back to me. Catgirl, the Joker, captured, screaming, pain, darkness.I groaned again. "Yes, I understand what's going on Selina." I heard Bruce's voice say. Selina? As in Selina Kyle? Why would Bruce be talking to her? "You'd had better fix this Bruce! If you can't find her and bring her back-"
"Calm down Selina, I'll find her." Bruce's demanding voice said."You'd better." Selina seemed to be on the brink of tears. "Promise me that you'll call me when you find her?" Silence....I heard the end call noise and started to get up. A sharp pain shot through my right side and I fell back. "You mustn't strain yourself Master Dick."
"A-Alfred. Wh-what happened?" I could faintly make out the shapes of Alfred. "Catgirl was taken by the Joker." Bruce said. I could hear the swish of his cape. "Okay, just give me a second I'll come with you." I tried to get up only to have Alfred stop me."No Master Dick. You must stay here and rest." Alfred said. "Alfred is right. Stay here. This won't take lo-"
"Hello Batsy!" A sickening voice said.
Ruby's POV
I groaned. "Wakey Wakey little kitty." Someone said. When I didn't move I felt a hard slap go across my face. "WAKE UP!" I opened my eyes. The Joker was in front of me... dressed as a doctor? "Good you're awake. Now we can commence our experiments." He pulled out a huge syringe that contained a yellow serum. I tried to run away, but I was bound to my table with leather straps on my hands, torso, and feet. Joker laughed at my struggling. "Now stay still dear. And please do look at the camera, will you?" He stepped aside for me to see a camera set up. Joker got really close to it and said, "I hope you can trace this video quick Batsy, or else I just might have to much fun with our dear kitty." He gave a sickening laugh and I started to fall back into the darkness. Joker slapped me again."Stay awake!" He demanded. "Nurse Harley! We're losing the patient!" Out of the darkness a woman with a red and black jester hat and a nurse uniform walked over to me. "Hold on kitty." She said, pressing on my shoulders to keep me still. "Doctor J is gonna make ya feel all better!" Joker came closer with that syringe again. I tried to move, to scream, but I was just too weak. The needle slipped into my shoulder with ease and I tried not to flinch. "It'll take awhile to set in. So please, holler when it does." Joker laughed before leaving with Harley.
I felt sick. My stomach was churning and I started seeing green and white. I could feel my canines growing sharp and I tasted blood. I groaned and looked over at the camera. "You'd better get here soon, Wonder Boy. I don't think I can last much longer like this." I sighed. I was talking to a camera. For all I know Robin can't even see me right now.
Robin was right I am a damsel in distress. I mean I'm stuck here, overheating like a cake in an oven and I can't do anything about- wait! I can do something. I have a nail filer, maybe its sharp enough to cut the leather!I reached for my file that was in my utility belt. I stretched to grab it, only to find that my utility belt wasn't around my waist. I sighed. "Still not feeling it?" Joker asked, making me jump. He had another syringe in his hand, but this time the liquid was bright red. "I can help with that." He stalked towards me. I could feel tears wanting to form in my eyes. I started blubbering out weak protests as he slipped the needle into my neck. He had pushed about half the serum into me when a window broke. "Wonder Boy." I muttered before going out cold.
