Twisted-Wayleska part 3

At Wayne Manor, Alfred paces back and forth. Bruce left to go talk to Jeremiah 4 hours ago.

"No sign of Bruce still?" Selina says, standing by the balcony door.

"No. I'm beginning to worry. I don't quite trust that bloody clown's brother. But Bruce has been blindly following him around like a little puppy for the last 6 weeks." Alfred says quietly.

"Hey, that's diluted, blind, desperate young love for you." Selina says quietly. "Y'know, he's probably at Jeremiah's bunker right now, and I bet they're just... doing whatever the hell it is they do there. I don't know."

"Well, I have a pretty good idea of what could be going on. I'm going down there. It's been 4 bloody hours with that psychopath's twin brother. Master Bruce could be in trouble." Alfred says.

"If he is in trouble, if Jerome has somehow taken control of the bunker and is holding Bruce and Jeremiah hostage, how do you expect to get in?" Selina says, confused.

"Pick the lock on the front door, perhaps?" Alfred says with a shrug. Selina rolls her eyes.

At the bunker, Bruce sits in the broom closet, crying softly. Jeremiah was his friend, his lover even. What did Jerome do to him to make him this insane? Just then, Bruce remembers the laughing gas. He had overhead Captain Gordon saying something about it recently. If it's like a disease, then there can surely be a cure. He can surely get his friend back.

One can only hope...

Just then, a warning siren goes off. Through the crack under the door and the space under the cabinet, Bruce can see the red lights flashing.

"Where's Bruce?! What have you maniacs done with him?!" Alfred yells. Suddenly the door of Jeremiah's office opens. Bruce hears familiar quiet, cat-like footsteps walking in.

"Bruce?" Selina says, looking around the room for her friend.

"In here." Bruce says weakly, crying softly. The cabinet scrapes across the floor and suddenly the closet door is thrown open. Selina gasps at Bruce's disheveled, tattered state.

"Alfred! I found him!" Selina calls out. A roughed up Alfred comes rushing in.

"Oh, bloody hell. What did that maniac do you, Master B?" Alfred says quietly, crouching down in front of Bruce.

"H-He raped me. J-Jerome, H-He raped me...and Jeremiah is completely insane." Bruce sobs out, emotionally exhausted.

"Bloody hell. Come on, we've gotta get you to the hospital. Get you checked out." Alfred says, carefully helping Bruce to his feet. "And if I ever see those giggling maniac Jeremiah ever again again, I'll stick that ridiculous hat where the sun don't shine."
