Death. What a funny thing it is. Everyone fears it and hates to speak of it, but when it nears no one cares. They finally admit they're ready... but what if one of these deaths weren't ready? What if this one death returns for a revenge he seeks aga...
Inside the base for the League of Assassins, Ra's Al Gul's servant is seen looking at him as Ra's looks out the window. The the head of the LoA drops his cup of wine to the floor, spilling it.
Ra's Al Gul: I should have never allied myself with that madman.
He turns around and walks up to his servant.
Ra's Al Ghul: Where are they?
Servant: In Sarajevo, sir. And...he has the boy.
Sarajevo
At night, Batman is seen on his motorcycles as he rides through the snow, struggling to go faster.
Meanwhile, in an abandoned warehouse, Caleb Todd, aka Robin, is seen sitting down on his knees as he looks down to the ground. His Robin suit was slightly covered in blood as his domino mask was torn. He looks up, only to be hit in the face by a crowbar and fall to his side.
???: Wow, that looked like it really hurt.

The madman smiles evilly, raising the crowbar once more and striking Caleb in the face with it more as Caleb cries out in pain.
Joker: Oh, now hang on that looked like it hurt a lot more so, let's try to clear this up, kay, pumpkin?
The Joker smiles as he raises the crowbar into the air once more.
Joker: What hurts more? A? *strike and grunt* or B? *strike and grunt* forehand? *strike and grunt* or backhand? *strike and grunt*
The Joker laughs, enjoying the torture he's bringing upon Robin as the boy turns around and mumbles something.
Joker: A little louder lambchop I think you may have a collapsed lung, that always impedes the oratory.
The Clown Prince of Crime says as he lowers himself to Caleb's level, only for the black haired teen to spit blood on the Joker's white face, this makes the Joker slam Robin's face into the ground
Joker: Now that was rude, the first Boy Blunder has manners.
Joker says as he cleans off his face with a handkerchief, looking at Caleb to see that he was smiling at him with bloodied teeth.

Joker: I suppose I'm going to have to teach you a lesson so you can better follow in your brother's footsteps. *pauses* nah, I'm just gonna keep beating you with this crowbar.
The Joker laughs maniacally as he steps on Caleb's back, making him grunt from the pain as he looks at the Joker with his blue eyes.
Back with Ra's Al Gul, he walks up to a window.
Ra's Al Gul: Where is the detective?
Servant: "He's on his way............but sir...he won't make it there on time.
Ra's Al Gul closes his eyes as he lowers his head in shame, knowing very well he caused this boy's death.
Back in Sarajevo, Batman was speed his way through the empty and snow-covered streets of an abandoned town as he struggle to reach Caleb, but he will be too late. At the warehouse, the door opens to reveal the Joker putting a winter coat over his suit.
Joker: Okay, kido, I gotta go It's been fun, though, right?
He tells and asks Robin as he stares into the darkness of the building, seeing Caleb scrunched up on the floor in pain.
Joker: Well, maybe a smidge more fun for me than you I'm just guessing since you're being awfully quiet. *places coat around his body* anyway, be a good boy, finish your homework, and be in bed by nine, and hey! Please tell the big man I said "Hello".
He laughs once more, closing the door as he walks out into the snowy night, his laugh echoes through the night as Caleb could be seen opening his eyes he rolls onto his back and slips his cuffed hands over his feet bringing them in front of him as he pushes himself to his feet, Caleb stands with a hunched back, looking around as he stumbled across the floor in an attempt to reach the door, he doesn't. Instead he falls face first into the ground with a grunt. He the goes with a new plan, crawling his way across the floor as his blood trails behind him, painting the grey floor crimson red with each heave he grunts as he crawls across the floor, only to find that the door to the building was locked. He couldn't escape, realizing he just had to wait for Batman to come and rescue him, he lays his back against the metal door in wait.
Beep... Beep... Beep... Beep...
Caleb's eyes snap open in surprise, turning his head to see a nearby bomb nearly ready to blow.

Just nine seconds left, nine seconds until he dies he knew not even Batman could save him now, so he stopped panicking and he accepted it, he was ready for death.
Outside, Batman jumps off his bike as he run to the warehouse to save his partner until an explosion cut them off.
Batman then began running over to the blown debris in search for his son only to find the dead body of his adopted son.
Batman: No...
Batman walks over to his dead son's body, lifting it up as shock fell onto his face.
