I woke up with a groan and noticed that I was freezing. Looking around I saw a open window that lead to a snowy landscape. "Vertis!" A voice called. "Bruce!" I yelled back. I struggled to go to him but found that I was bound. My vibranium arm was numb. Joker probably shut it off with a high voltage of electricity or something.
"Don't worsen your wounds." Bruce halted me and I realized that the entire right side of my body was stinging or numb. Looking down I saw three puncture wounds. One in my shoulder. Another my stomach were it was bleeding heavily and my thigh which was worse than my stomach.
"Ow." I said. "What happened." I asked looking at Bruce and seeing Robin and Wally both is the room with us. "We refused to give the Joker information." Robin said and I noticed that his mask was missing. "Robin your mask-" I said but he cut me off.
"Joker knows who I am." I looked down. "I'm so sorry. I can't do anything right." I said leaning my head back until it hit the rock behind me very hard. "Vertis. Stop moving." Bruce commanded. "I know, I know. Don't make your wounds worse and bleed out." I finished Bruce's sentence but he shook his head.
"Joker is coming." He warned and I looked at the door just as it opened. "Ah! Now all of our party guests are awake! Isn't this fun Brucy!" The Joker said patting my shoulder. I winced and he stuck his finger into my wound. Caught off guard it make my scream. I quickly clamped my mouth shut but the damage was done.
"Don't. Touch. Her." Dick said a dangerous edge to his voice that I'd never heard before. "Or what?" The Joker laughed and he stabbed his finger deeper into me shoulder. "Oh what's this! A bone?" The Joker questioned out loud as he hit bone. I bit my lip and could taste blood but I refused to scream again.
"What happens if I do... this!" And the Joker yanked my bone up. It snapped and I unwillingly let out a whimper. Using my own blood he drew a smile on my face. "All better!" He exclaimed energetically.
"If you're going to hurt someone hurt me. Just leave them alone." Bruce was practically begging. I shook my head violently. "Awww. Good hearted Bruce, sacrificing himself for others. I'm having so much I'll just torture you all. But Bruce. You'll have to watch." The Joker laughed gleefully at his horrified face.
"No. NO!" He screamed as the Joker took out various torture devices and hit Wally, Dick and I multiple times. After an hour he left. As soon as he was gone I gave Bruce a smile of reassurance but it must have been gruesome because I was covered with my own blood. Blood streaked down silver metal turning it a maroon colour. My skin were pale and faded. Robin was no better and Wally was the worst.
"Hey guys. The rooms spinning. Is that bad?" Wally asked breathlessly. There was probably more blood on the ground than in Wally's body and I grew very worried. "Bruce, your closest. Can you get a pulse?" I asked hurriedly. "Bruce he's not breathing!" I started panicking. I already killed Artemis was Wally destined to the same fate? "He has a pulse but it's weak. He probably won't make it." Bruce said sadly. "Where's the rest of the team?" He asked suddenly realizing that they weren't here.
"Captured, missing or dead." I murmured softly. "Dead!" Bruce shouted. "Green Arrow killed Artemis." I choked out. "Wait- Oliver!" Bruce shouted again. "I think the League is under some sort of control or something because Superman has tried to kill us many times in the past day." I said.
"We need to get out!" Bruce said struggling against his restraints. "Yeah. But how?" Robin asked looking at Wally worriedly. "I don't know." Bruce said looking defeated. For once in his entire life looking completely lost. "I don't know."
