Chapter 4 - Drugged
I slowly wake up to the groan of machinery, I groan from the pounding headache and slowly open my eyes to a blinding glare from a light hitting the white room. As my eyes ajust I start to notice I'm strapped into a chair of sorts like the girl was and there is a needle that is slowly groaning towards me. "Oh good you're awake, the Bat ain't saving another one of my subjects." The Joker said just as the needle plunged itself into my arm, I expected to start laughing but nothing happened. I looked over at the needle and saw it still in my arm and there's no liquid pumping into me, I try to wiggle the needle out by jolting my arm but I can't, it's stuck in tight.
After what seemed like hours a man with a psychotic grin stepped into the room. "I presume you're the Joker." I say yawning. "Why is is this needle still in me?" I ask. "All in good time." He said with a grin that makes me want to back away, he walks over and picks a tube up from the floor and attaches it to the needle and it starts pumping me this yellowy-green liquid. It makes me feel slightly woozy and strange. "What is this sttuff?" I slur trying to make my mouth work, the Joker grins. "Something that makes you forget your worries." He says and disconnects the tube and unstraps me, I can't move and I slowly black out.
I wake up feeling like I had forgotten something and stand up in an alley, I wobble slightly and stumble out of the alley into the street. It's night and I feel like hell as I walk down the street, I try to remember what happened after I got tranqed in the alley but I can't remember anything. I notice a shadow is following me about 13 minutes after I left the alley, I ignore it but it seems to get closer as I walk, I ignore it still and keep walking shaking off whatever was in my system. I take another step and end up falling face first into the pavement, I catch myself but I get jumped. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!" I yell struggling to turn over to look at him, he stabs something into my arm and I pass out.
I wake up strapped to a table with a guy in a cowl, suit and cape next to me mixing chemicals. "Uh, where am I?" I ask, slightly daunted when I looked up. We are in a massive cave, I thought trying to break the straps. "In the Batcave." The guy answered, his voice gravelly. "Who are you?" I ask looking round and spotting a guy in a suit, I look back at the guy as he looks up at me. "You don't know?" He says sounding slightly surprised. "Yeah that's why I'm asking." I say a bit put out. "I'm Batman." he says and goes back to mixing chemicals. "Why am I here?" I ask fairly annoyed he hadn't answered the most obvious question. "Because I have reasons to believe you have been infected with one of Joker's new concoctions."
