Only four hours were remaining of the previous twenty-four hours. Damian had stayed unconsious throughout, until Joker entered through the doors once again and began to use the crowbar (what is wrong with him and crowbars?).

"Aghh" Screams echoed throughout the whole building, but no one came to help. Joker's so called 'friends' were just laughing throughout the whole thing. It kind of made it obvious that Joker used something to change them into that state, the state which reflects himself.

Damian had given up on hope. He knew his father would be looking for him but the Joker has managed to kill before and theres nothing from stopping him now, and Joker isn't one to hesitate.

"we've come a long way out of the city Jon" Clark mentioned to his son.

"It was quite far away from Gotham and Metropolis" Jon replied. He was so eager on finding his friend.

An extra three hours approached on them until the search would no longer be needed. One hour was left. The inside of Bruce clenched up. He hasn't felt this way since Jason was killed, then when he found out he was alive (Characters coming back to life brought to you by DC Comics) it was as it all that pain had washed away. He wasn't going to lose another member of his family, especially if it was his blood related son.

"I hear screaming" Clark stated. Good thing there was someone who had super hearing.

Bruce was too deep in thought and didn't hear a word that Clark said. "Bruce?" Clark said snapping Bruce to of his thoughts.

"Yes?" he responded.

"I said I hear screaming" Clark repeated. He wouldn't have told Bruce that he heard screams if it was anybody. Clark knew who's screams they were. They were Damian's.

"Where are they coming from?" Bruce asked, eagerly.

"Follow me!"

Time was wearing thin. Damian's body wanted to shut down but Damian tried his best to prevent it. Although he wasn't sure how much more pain he could take.

He was knocked out of his thoughts when he started to hear loud sounds. Sounds of a fight. Had Batman made it in time?

As if on cue, Joker came running into the same room as Damian, holding another needle. He approached the boy and separated him from the chains being his back then he stood next to him with the needle a little while away from his neck. If Damian wasn't feeling as weak as he was he would have made some snarky remark, but didn't as he wasn't aware of what was going on.

Within the next five minutes Batman managed to make his way down to the same room while Superman and Superboy continued to hold back the accomplices.

"Hello Batsy!" Joker greeted the minute that Batman entered.

"Joker" Batman snarled.

"Don't act like that Batsy, or this needle will go straight into your little birdies neck" Joker said bringing Damian closer to him. Damian was non the wiser of what was occurring around him, he didn't even notice his father was in the room.

Bruce didn't know what to do (thats a first), he didn't want to chance anything. Before he could even think about a way to get out of this something, or someone, approached from behind and whacked him on the head. He didn't go unconscious but his vision was blurred while Joker made his exit with Damian still clenched in this hands.

As soon as his vision restored he followed in the same direction as Joker went. Once he had appeared outside he instantly noticed the Joker right ahead of him. Using one of his bat-a-rangs, Batman through it straight at the Jokers head making fall to the ground.

Bruce approached his son and gently said "Robin".

To which he received a one worked answer of "Father" before darkness clouded his vision.
