Once we arrived at the safe house which was an underground train station in New York I paced relentlessly. "Vertis, Robin will be fine." Wally tried to soothe me but I couldn't relax. Not until Robin was safe.

Bruce's POV
I groaned as a bright light was shown in my face. I squinted and moved my head to the side trying to escape the beacon. "Wakey wakey little batsy. Time to question some answers. Or the other way around. I wouldn't know." He laughed crazily.
Joker flipped out a switchblade and carved in Bruce for what it felt like the 800th time. "Why would I tell you anything?" I spat. "Because if you don't then I'll have to get my answers a bloodier way." Joker threatened but I wasn't fazed.
"We don't want that do we?" Joker cackled and I glared at him. "Your empty threats are pitiful." I smirked. "We'll see who's laughing after this." Joker grinned. He took a Electric whip off of a table nearby and chuckled. "I would not want to Batsy right now." He said.

Vertis's POV
"Man I wish I was Batman right now." I said looking out into the darkness as the noises coming from the abandoned stairwell got closer. "Wally I thought you said that this place was secret!" I whisper/yelled. "It is." He said frowning.
"The figure emerged into the light and I gasped. It was Robin. He was covered in blood and he held his side where I saw blood gushing out. "Dick!" I shouted rushing over to him Wally beside me.
He fell down and Wally caught him in his arms. Wally gently laid Robin down and I raised Robin's hand off his wound. It was a clean shot and I could tell it was created by Superman. His blood traced the groves in my bionic limb and outlined the metal plates.
"Artemis and Roy?" I asked putting pressure on his wound. Robin's gaze fell. "Robin?" I asked desperately. "Roy was captured. Artemis-Artemis told me to tell you that she doesn't blame you for anything, an-and that she has no regrets." Robin said looking away from me tears in his eyes.
"No, she didn't- she didn't..." I couldn't finish my sentence. "Her own mentor. Looked her in the eye and-" Robin took a shaky breath. "Oh god. This is out of hand. And we haven't even found Joker yet." I said placing my head in my hands.
This price is too high. Too high for us.
No one can pay it.
