Joker lifted another needle and began to pace around. "I wonder where Harly is with the rest of our guests...?"
He then jammed another needle into Falcon's thigh, and danced as she screamed in agony.
*****
"Affirmative O," Nightwing replied examining the tracks. "Batman has a cycle close by. I'm going to follow the tracks."
Soon Nightwing was on the road following the tracks that had been left by the Toy Truck. He recieved many odd stares as he drove his bike through the city. It was rare when the Gotham Knights were seen during the day.
Meanwhile....
"I shouldn't be here..." Robin scowled. "I should be out their looking for her."

She couldn't help to scream as the second needle was jabbed into her theigh. There was a reason she always hated needles, this just worsened that hatred of shots. "Wh--what other guest." She managed through gritted teeth of determination.
**** "No. We both know that your to emotionaly involved in this case. " Barbara said as she turned towards Tim. "Tim, what happened during your time traveling adventure. It had something to do with this, doesnt it. It's important to Rachaels safety that I know, Tim. What. Happened." It didn't take a genious to tell that whatever they had seen in the future, both Robin and Falcon had been greatly sobbered by it.

"Oh, how rude of me!" Joker said balancing the third needle on his index finger. "Just a few more of you costumed freaks."
"Well you see, as you know I hate Batman right? I mean, I'm coo coo with dislike for the costume rodent, but all in all he's the side show for now."
"Did you know that I once killed Robin?" he asked. "My greatest achievement! I can still remember the screams he gave as I beat him to death and I my happiest memories are when Batham came to get me to confess! Ahh... those were the salad days!"
"But then..." Joker's face went to absoulte rage. "You're boyfriend showed up! He stole my victory! When I killed the last kid, I almost had Bats completey broken! All I needed to to push him a little more and... oh...!"
Joker began to pace around angerily. "I'm going to break the Bat this time girl! And to do that, I'm going to clip the wings of his birds!"
****
Robin looked at Oracle. He knew this was going to come up sooner or later. He knew that Batman, Nightwing, Oracle, Alfred even Huntress had been wondering what was up with him.
"Babs... I don't think..." Yet before Robin coudl finish they heard the sounds of guns shots and metal scraping against concrete, all coming from Nightwing's com-link.

"Your an idiot Joker, Red-hood." She glared. She had told the Bat-clan who he formerly was some time ago, though she doubt that he knew that they knew. "Batman, and Robin, will ALWAYS whip your bleached butt. The good guys always win in the end." She said as she eyed the third needle, she could already feel her body get weaker...She wished she could believe her own words, but the future had shown her otherwise.
******* "Nightwing! Whats goiing on?" Oracle snapped back to action at the sound of a scuffle.

Joker slapped Falcon painfully just as he had her daughter in her future. "Shut up! What do you know?" He began to pace back and forth again.
"No, no, no...." he began to repeat. "This time I WILL win. I'm going to kill that @#$% ing bird and he is going to stay dead!" At that moment just as Joker was about to raise the final injection, his cellphone rang.
"Yeah?!" he snarled and then his face broke into a wide grin! "Excellent! Bring him up!" Joker turned back to Falcon with a superior grin. "Looks like you'll be getting some company girl! Boys take her back to her cell!"
Joker danced out of the room, completely fogeting to give Rachel the final injection. "I must prepare!" he laughed.
*****
Robin and Oracle didn't recieve a response from Nightwing but only static. "Why isn't he responding?" Robin demanded.
"I can't keep sitting around here! 've gotta go out and get him!" he said making for the door.

"NO. LET. ME. GO!" She tried to fight as they unstrapped her, but the poisen was already going to work. Her body was already weakened enough that she didn't put up much of a fight as the guards dragged her back to her cell.
*****
"Robin..." Oracle started out--

Joker's men threw Falcon into her cell again. At least an hour had passed, before the door opened again and another form was thrown into her cells. He wore a black and blue uniform covered in blood.
It was obvious as to who her new roomie was...
****
"Babs you don't understand!" Robin screamed looking at the former Batgirl. "I just found out that everything in my life is going to go to hell because of the Joker!"
He instantly froze as he looked into the eyes of Barbara Gordon, and felt like completely like crap for opening his mouth. Of course she knew what it was like. She had to live with the results of Joker's maddness every single day of her life.
He looked at her chair, and felt his eyes filling with tears. "Oh god... Babs... I'm so sorry..."

"Nightwing!" She exclaimed as she pushed herself from where she layup to lean/sit against the cement wall behind her. "Nightwing, can you hear me." She hoped that he was somewhat conscious.
******
"Robin..." Barbara felt tears in her own eyes as her eyes filled with fire, her jaw clenched, and her knuckles became white. She knew exactly what it was like, he knew better that to say she didn't. "Start from the beginning and tell me what happened to the future. It may be our only chance to rescue them." This time, he had better not avoid the subject. Now, not only did her little sisters life hang on a thread, so did her own lover.

"Hey Half-pint..." Nightwing coughed up a bit of blood. "Knew I'd find you sitting on you butt..." he tried to smile, but it faded quickly. "What's Joker got planned this time...?"
Meanwhile...
A helicopter landed on the roof of the Jolly-Dandy Toy store and Harly hoped out with her henchmen lugging the body of Shinobi!
"Honey! I'm home!" She laughed only to revieve a jab in the stomach from Joker.
"Good to see you too Harl," Joker said walking to the Ninja. "Hello! I don't belive we've met! I'm the Joker and I'm going to kill you!"

Robin looked at Barbara and felt every wall he built fall crashing down! He collapsed to his knees as he began to explain everything to her.
About their entire trip through Tim and to the Future. He told her about how he was destined to battle against the Joker for the lives of the Titans and was to loose his sight and voice during the fight. He told her about how Nightwing was supposed to die avenging him, and how he was forced into the life of Batman.
He told her about Rachel and him having an illagitamet child together, Skyla. And how he ended up pushing everyone away, and being alone. And finally he told her how she would die to save Falcon's life.
"I just don't know what to do Barbara..." he sobbed.

"He's--he's." She got dizzy and felt for a second she was going to loose her lunch, she lowered herself back down to the ground. "He's rounding up the ones....Robin cares about. ..He plans to kill us with some kind of disease." a stab of pain shook her body. The venom, was worked quickly. The stab marks in her legs were obvious even in her black costume. her entire body ached. Every limb, every muscle.

"Ooo..." Joker smiled. "This one has spunk! Throw him with the others! And bring me Wing-boy! Time for him to get the point of my plan!" He bust out laughing and returned into the building with Harly crawling in behind him.

Just then the doors of Falcon's cell burst open again and Joker's mime's came in holding Shinobi's limp body. He was thrown painfully next to Nightwing who was then picked up and taken out of the room.
"Don't worry kiddies! He'll be right back!" Joker's voice laughed through their intercom. "And then the real fun will begin!"

"Arent clowns...supposed to make balloon animals and entertain children." Shinobi tried to yell at the voice as he layed on the floor assesing his injuries.
