Kidnapping the Heroes

Chapter 15

They had lost count on how long they had been in here.

Julia had told them that time was wibbly wobbly, timey wimey here, while specifically looking at the Doctor, but to everyone, it felt like years. Years.

They hadn't really seen much of Juliana either, to be honest. All they knew was that sometimes, when Julia looked angry, and everyone was expecting her to drag him away, she would simply walk into the mirror, ignoring everyone, and wouldn't come out for a long time. That was worrisome.
"How are my boys doing this fine... whatever time of day it is. I can't even keep time down here." Julia said one day, walking in her usual cheerful and sadistic self.

"How long are you planning to keep us here?" The Doctor groaned out. His tounge was swollen, making his voice sound thick and slurred, as the last torture session had gone a bit too far.

"I dunno. When it gets boring, I guess. Then maybe I'll torture the side characters. AKA, your friends." Julia said, shrugging and smiling.

"You stay away from them!" Percy shouted, running as far as the chain could let him. They were all still chained in the same positions as the first time they had woken up to this nightmare.
"Wow, Percy. You're a sight for sore eyes. Gaea really did a number on you." Julia said thoughtfully, grabbing his chin and examining his face.
Gaea really had done a number on him. One eye was completely swollen shut, while the other had a dark, purple, bruise surrounding it. There were cuts and fingernail scratches on his face and arms, and everyone knew it was worse beneath the ragged shirt. It was all the same with them.

"Our friends aren't stupid, they won't come for us without a plan." Robin spoke up, spitting some blood out of his mouth as he did. His mask was cut in different places, and you could now see one of his eyes from behind it. He was now literally black and blue, the Joker loving his crowbar way too much.

"I don't know, some of them can be a bit clueless." Julia said, absent-mindedly wandering around the room, hands behind her back. She was getting ready to say something else when a loud bang rang through the corridor. Everyone was silent, even Julia, as they listened intently.

"Spread out, everyone! This place is huge and we need to find them!" A voice could be heard, sounding far away, but certainly heard.

"Annabeth." Percy breathed out, and Julia viciously turned and kicked his head against the wall, immediately knocking him unconscious.

"Sorry boys, lights out." Julia said, all traces of amusement gone. In a flash, she had pulled out a smoke bomb full of the Scarecrows special nightmare gas, and had thrown it down, disappearing herself before it could even reach her. Robin noticed it quickly.

"Hold your breaths! Hold them!" Robin managed to choke out before holding his own. They all listened to him- minus Percy, of course- as the gas filled the cell, all of them trying not to breath it in. Unfortunately, one by one, they all began to choke and we're soon unconscious with terrible nightmares.

Meanwhile, the rescue team had weapons, wands, and powers at the ready. Rory was in his Centurion outfit, while Amy had a stun gun she had found in the TARDIS. (Don't ask.)
Everyone called for their friends name, hoping desperately that they would find them.

"Should we kill them?" Voldemort asked Julia as he and all the other villains watched on the security cameras.
"No you idiot. No one dies intentionally. And I'm afraid to say this, but you're all now useless to this plot. Laterz!" Before anyone could say anything, she snapped her fingers and they were gone- back to their own universes.
"Now then," she cracked her knuckles.
"Let's have some fun."

"Percy! Percy!" Nico called, looking up and down the long hallway. There were so many doors, and such little time to find everyone. Why did Percy have to be so heroic anyways? Gods, that adorable idiot. He continued walking until he froze and backtracked. He had passed a mirror, nothing too unusual about that, but this one was different.

It looked like a mirror from a vanity set, looking elegant and old. The problem was, however, was that his reflection didn't quite show up. I mean, sure, you could see him in said mirror, he was just... translucent. And that was a bit suspicious. He walked closer, eyes right against the glass, and realized it wasn't a mirror at all.
It was a window.
And of course, inside that window was not other than the good Julia from earlier, chained to a wall and looking as if she was bleeding.

"Guys! Over here!" He called down the hall, before taking actions of his own. He grabbed his stygian iron sword and swung, shattering the window immediately. Minding the broken glass, he carefully climbed inside, before running over to the girl.

She looked like death, and believe me, he knew what that looked like. She wasn't dead though, he could feel her soul. He was looking for a way to get her down when one of the Camelot knights came in.

"Percival, right?" Nico asked the burly knight. He nodded wordlessly.

"I need you to hold her while I cut her down." He said, turning back to Julia.
"Of course." The knight said walking over. Cautiously, he held Julia's legs as Nico cut off the manacles suspending her, and she collapsed onto Percival, who shifted and carried her bridal style.
"She needs medical help." Nico said firmly, and Percival nodded. Nico climbed back out first and dragged Julia carefully out, wincing when some of the glass cut into her skin. He gently laid her on the ground when they were out.
"Hazel! You have nectar, right?" Nico asked, turning to his half-sister. Finding the good Julia had gathered everyone's attention.

"Yeah. But, what if she's mortal? This could kill her." Hazel said worriedly.

"I don't think she's mortal. Call it a gut feeling." Annabeth said.

"She probably knows where the others are as well." Rory mentioned. Making up his mind, Nico poured a bit of nectar into her mouth. At first, nothing happened. Then, a glowing came from her mouth, deep in her throat, before exploding and dousing her body in bright light. In a heart beat, she was upright and inhaling.

"Thanks." She breathed, looking at Nico. He blushed slightly.

"Right. Ok. Come along, heroes. Let's go find... more heroes." She said, jumping up and hurrying down the hall. They figured it was best to follow.

They reached the door that the evil Julia had shown them on their tour, and Julia pushed it open. A bit of black fog came out, making everyone cough and shudder, but it had no other affect. Everyone nearly trampled one another to get inside.

There were screams of horror and a string of profanities as everyone looked over their beaten friends.

"Oh my gods Percy! Your eye-"

"Merlin, what have they done to you..?"

"Doctor? Doctor! Wake up, listen to me!"

"Robin, oh gosh dude, you look awful!"

"Harry? Harry can you hear me? Ron, hand me my wand, I may know how to revive him-"

"It's nightmare gas." Julia said throughout all the commotion. Everyone froze and looked at her.
"It'll last for a while, we'll just have to drag them out and mind the thrashing." She was right. Though they hadn't noticed before, the heroes were squirming around, swatting at imaginary things and muttering under their breaths.

"Can't you do something to reverse it?" Hermione asked.

"Well, there is this one thing. But it's a bit inappropriate." She said, rubbing the back of her head.

"We're desperate, just do it already!" Amy shouted.

Not wasting another second, Julia went to the closest captive, the Doctor, and kissed him full on the lips. As she moved to Merlin, the Doctor's head snapped up and gasped, before coughing violently.

"Doctor!" Amy and Rory cried, rushing over.

One by one, Julia kissed each hero and they were revived from the vicious gas.

"Oh gods Percy, are you okay?" Annabeth asked, looking him over again.

"I am now." He rasped out, swollen eyes focused on Annabeth. She smiled, same old Percy.

"Sorry to break up this very fluffy reunion," a voice called from the doorway, cliche gasps coming from multiple people.

The dark Julia stood in the doorway, smiling maliciously.

But it appears this is coming to an end. And believe me." Her eyes got darker and her smile got wider.

"It won't be a happily ever after."
