*At the batcave*
Dick's Pov

As we entered the batcave, the dimly lit room seemed to hum with anticipation. The monitors flickered with images of the chaos that the Joker had unleashed on Gotham City. I knew that every second counted, and I quickly took my place at the central computer, determined to analyze any clue or pattern that could lead us to the Joker's next move. The weight of our mission pressed down on me, but I couldn't let it overwhelm me. We had to act swiftly and decisively. "Tim, can you explain your plan?" Jason asks. Tim took a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves before responding to Jason's question. "Sure," He replied, his voice filled with determination. "First, we need to gather all available information on the Joker's previous attacks and analyze them for any recurring patterns or hidden messages. Then, we can cross-reference that data with the latest reports from our informants in Gotham's underworld. With this comprehensive analysis, we'll be able to anticipate his next move and intercept him before he can cause further damage. " Okay, that's good. What about Wally, Roy, Conner, and Jon, and how are we going to save them from the Joker?" Damian asks.

Damian, we must prioritize gathering intelligence on the Joker's previous attacks and analyzing them first. Once we have a clear understanding of his patterns and hidden messages, we can devise a strategic plan to save Wally, Roy, Conner, and Jon from his clutches. Rest assured, their safety is of the utmost importance and will be our next course of action once we have gathered the necessary information. " That's a great plan, little wing; let's go suit up." Dick, tell me. We go get suited up, and then Batman walks in and asks, " Please tell me you are not going to hand yourselves over to the Joker." Dick responds with a confident smile. "No way, Batman. We've analyzed the Joker's patterns and messages extensively. Our plan is to infiltrate his hideout and rescue our friends without putting ourselves at risk." Batman's stern expression softens slightly as he realizes the determination in Dick's voice. "Alright, but remember, teamwork is crucial here. We need to be cautious and rely on each other's strengths to ensure everyone comes back safely."

I roll my eyes at Batman's emphasis on teamwork. As if I need anyone's help to take down the Joker. But deep down, I know he's right. This mission is too dangerous to tackle alone, even for me. Plus, it wouldn't hurt to prove to Batman and the others that I can work well with a team. "Let's go and show the Joker that we are not someone to be underestimated," I say, my voice filled with determination. Batman nods approvingly, his eyes conveying a sense of trust in me. With that, we all set off towards the Joker's hideout, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

*At the Joker's Hideout*

"God, I hate this place." I says. Dick looks at me with guilt in his eyes. "I know, Jason. But we have to do this for the greater good," Dick replies softly, understanding the weight of our mission. I take a deep breath, pushing aside my personal feelings, and steel myself for what lies ahead. As we enter, I see Roy, Conner, Wally, and Jon tied to chairs. Their faces are bruised and bloodied, evidence of the torture they have endured. The Joker stands in the center of the room, a sadistic grin on his face, as he taunts us with his twisted laughter. " I'm going to kill him, Dick." I tell Dick with a voice filled with hatred for the Joker. Dick looks at me, his eyes filled with determination and understanding. "We will get them out of here, Jaybird," he says firmly, his voice steady despite the anger simmering beneath the surface. "But we have to stay focused and work together. Revenge can wait until our friends are safe." I look at Tim, and he is pissed off so much that it makes me a little uncomfortable. His clenched fists and gritted teeth show his intense frustration. "I can't just sit here and do nothing," Tim mutters, his voice laced with determination. "We need to come up with a plan to rescue them now." I nod in agreement, feeling the weight of responsibility settle on my shoulders. " I know your there Bat brothers, so come and play with us." The Joker says it with an evil smile.

The Joker is starting to piss me off even more. His taunting words and sadistic grin only fuel my anger further. I can feel my blood boiling as I clench my fists, ready to confront him head-on. Me and my brothers step out of the shadows. " Give us Kidflash, Red Arrow, and the Superboys." Dick demands. I take a deep breath, trying to keep my composure as I lock eyes with the Joker. "You underestimate us, Joker," I say firmly. "We won't let you harm our friends. Prepare to face the consequences of your actions." The Joker smiles and then says, I have a deal for you, Bat brothers." The Joker's sinister smile sends chills down my spine, but I refuse to let fear consume me. I raise an eyebrow, intrigued by his proposition. "What kind of deal could you possibly offer us?" I ask, my voice laced with skepticism. " Yourselves for them, what do you say?" The Joker says it with a sinister smirk. I exchanged a quick glance with my fellow Bat brother, silently communicating our shared determination. "Trading ourselves for our friends? That's a tempting offer, Joker," I reply, maintaining a steely resolve.

"Take it, and they will be let go." The Joker says. I pause for a moment, weighing the options in my mind. The lives of our friends hang in the balance, and making a deal with the devil himself seems like the only way to save them. But deep down, I know that dealing with the Joker always comes with a hefty price. With a determined nod, I finally respond, "Fine, Joker. We'll take your deal. But remember, if anything happens to them, you'll regret it." The Joker and his gang untied them. "Kidflash, get Red Arrow and the Superboys to Wayne Manor. Wally walks up to me. and asks, : What about you, Nightwing?" I look at Wally, my eyes filled with determination. "I'll stay here and handle the Joker. We can't let him get away with this." I give him a reassuring smile before turning to face the chaos unfolding in front of us. "No, I won't leave without you." Wally tells me. I looked at Wally, then took off my mask and kissed him. As we shared a brief moment, I whispered, "I'll be fine, Wally. Trust me." With that, I put my mask back on and leaped into action, ready to confront the Joker and bring justice to Gotham City.

" Go with Kidflash and head to Wayne Manor, Jon." I told him. I knew that Jon would be safer there, away from the danger. He nodded and quickly followed Wally, leaving me to face the chaos alone. "Dick, we need to stop the Joker before he changes his mind," I say. Dick nodded, his eyes filled with determination. "We can't let him get away with this, Damian. Gotham needs us now more than ever." Together, we raced towards the source of the chaos, ready to do whatever it took to protect our city and bring the Joker to justice. I remember Jon's face as he left. I hoped that he would stay out of harm's way and find solace in a safer environment. As we sprinted through the chaotic streets, I couldn't shake the image of Jon's worried expression from my mind, fueling my determination to put an end to the Joker's madness and ensure Jon's safety.

I pulled Roy out of the Joker's hideout and then took off my helmet. "Roy, I'm sorry for fucking lying, but go with Conner and head to the Manor." I told him. I walked close to him and kissed him, then broke the kiss. " Roy, me and my brothers can handle the Joker; just make you and the others get to the Manor." I tell him with a sense of urgency. Roy looked at me with concern in his eyes but nodded in agreement. "Jason, please be careful," he said softly before turning to join Conner and the others. As they disappeared into the distance, I couldn't help but feel a mix of determination and fear for what lay ahead. I put my helmet back on, then headed back into the Joker's hideout. " Okay, Joker, are you ready to fucking die?" I yelled. The Joker's laughter echoed through the hideout as he emerged from the shadows. "Oh, Red Hood, always so eager for a showdown," he taunted, his voice dripping with malice. I tightened my grip on my guns, ready to face him head-on and put an end to his reign of terror once and for all.

I pushed Conner out of the Joker's hideout and took off my mask. "Tim, your Red Robin?" Conner asked me. " Conner, there is no time to discuss, but yes, please head to the manor. Me and my brothers will handle the Joker." I tell him. Conner pulls me close to him and then kisses me. I broke the kiss and said, " Conner, get to the manor, and I will see you soon." I told him. I put my mask back on. I turned and headed into the Joker's hideout. As I entered the hideout, adrenaline coursed through my veins. The time for games was over; it was time to end this once and for all. "Joker, it's just you and Us." I shouted with my battle staff.
