And unknown to everyone else the reader lives thanks to some miracle and later finds out they are pregnant with dicks baby and then the media finds out Dick Grayson's long lost S/o is alive and you can go full blast angst with this or just end it with rainbows and sunshine, your choice!

Dick knew something was off the minute he entered his apartment. It wasn't even that anything had been disturbed or that Y/N wasn't home from work yet. There was just an indescribable change in the air that made him tense up.

This tension multiplied when he noticed the purple envelope that had been carefully placed on the counter. Any other time, he would have approached the mysterious packet with caution, but he knew who sent it and, judging from how quiet his apartment was, he had a good guess as to what it was about.

"To my favorite Bird Brain," the letter read, "I have taken a couple of your things, which you will probably be wanting back LOL. To reclaim one of your prizes, come to this address."

Dick didn't spend too much time wondering what the Joker meant by that. He slipped into his suit and out the window. As he hurried through the streets, he sent off a quick message to Bruce, hoping that he would get there in time to help.

The location that Joker had sent him to turned out to be an abandoned apartment building. Dick arrived at the top floor and opened the door to find a large television showing static on the screen. On the coffee table, there was a large switch. As Dick slowly approached the setup, the screen came to life.

"Well, hello there, Batbrat." The Joker laughed, "So nice of you to join us. We are going to play a little game called 'Who is more important?' It should turn out to be interesting."

His laugh became louder as the screen changed. It showed a red haired woman, who appeared to be heavily sedated, was tied to a chair.

"Barbara." Dick gasped.

"On the first try!" Joker giggled. "Let's see if you recognize our second contestant."

A Y/H/C woman was bound in a similar fashion, but she appeared to be awake and fighting her restraints.

"Y/N!" Dick cried out, moving closer to the screen. Right as he reached out to touch her image, the Joker's face appeared again.

"We got to keep things movie, Little Birdie. Wouldn't want the timer to run down before our fun begins." Joker giggled. "You will have 10 seconds to choose which woman you want to save. If you don't flip the switch, both women will die."

Panic began to fill Dick's head as he realized what was going on. Bruce hadn't showed up yet and he couldn't get to them in time to save them.

"Time starts now." Joker whispered as the screen changed. It was split between the two women, with a countdown telling him how long he had left.

The choice between who lives and who dies.

Barbara or Y/N.

Dick's hand moved before he realized what he was doing. He blinked and realized he had turned the switch to Barbara's side.

His heart sank as he watched the screen change. Y/N's terrified face filled the screen before a live feed of a warehouse exploding took over. Dick could hear the explosion in the distance.

"NO!" Dick cried out as he fell to his knees. He felt a hand grip his shoulder and he turned to find Batman standing there. Bruce didn't say a word as Dick got to his feet and collapsed against him.
