-A Dark Past of The Boy Wonder-

Chapter 10: Fear

  I jolted forward to see Joker in front of me.

"How did you like that serum, fun right. I can change everything and make you think something happend and you wouldn't be able to tell reality from the dream." He cackled and spun in circles. My breath was heavy, I looked around and saw injuries but not like the ones in the dream. What was he testing on me?

Joker walked over with a syringe, it contained a blue serum. He started to get closer. I jerked away trying to move as far away as possible. To late. He jabbed the needle in my neck and everything went black again.

I felt my head throbbing as I came to.

A soft groan slipped past my lips when I slowly pried my eyes open behind my domino mask.

My vision blurred slightly at first, then it focused on the squirming figures a few feet in front of me.

I blinked  a few times when i saw his team in front of me, trying to break free from their bonds. they all had ropes binding their feet together and their wrist behind their backs with inhibitor collars around their necks, excepts for Artemis of course

I took the chance to look around at the rest of the place.

A few feet to the left of me, were two people I didn't know. A teenage boy and girl. They were tied the same way my teams were and they looked completely terrified. I averted my gaze from them to try to find an exit, but no avail.

They were currently in a large, cemented room with two locked doors, no windows. It looked like one of those hospital rooms in an insane asylum. Where they send deranged lunatics to get cured or go threw therapy lessons.

I moved my hands to find that they weren't bound like the others.

Instead, I had chains connected onto his ankles, keeping me grounded where I was. My boots, gloved and utility belt had been removed, so no explosives or hacking.

Why was he and the teams there?

I furrowed my brows at the floor in thought. Joker.......

I snapped out of my thoughts when the same cackle echoed in the room they were in. The teams immediately froze, along with the two terrified civilian teens, who instantly stopped their fearful shaking.

The Joker was nowhere to be found in the room, but his voice continued, "I see the birdy has finally woken up form his nap! Now we can play that new game,Kiddos!" Cued in the deranged clown's signature laugh.

The young heros winced slightly at the laud sound of his voice ringing throughout the room. Did the damn speakers need to be so loud?

"Let us go!" Wally yelled at the ceiling, hopelessly starting to squirm against his bonds again.

"Oh....I'm afraid thats not up to me, flash jr."

After that was said, a small table slid out below me. I looked up at the ceiling where the dark opening was, furrowing my brows.

My eyes widening when a black object was on the table.

It was a gun. I stared at it in silence for a few seconds. I had a feeling this wasn't going to end well, it the Joker. It never ends well with him.

"I bet you're wondering what thats for, Robbie! Well yo see, there are about 12 of you, including those two teens over there, and you see, thats a bit too many for me, say do you hear that ticking noise?" 

I looked in confusion before hearing a faint Tick, tick, tick... coming from the slides of the room. My eyes widened Oh hell no...he didn't plan to..oh god.

"Oh look, birdboy seems to be catching on! Well, I'll still explain in case on of your little friends don't get it. You, little birdy, have to pick up that gun, and kill one of your friends, or if you can choose you have those other two kids!" The teens tensed, "Once one of them are dead, I will deactivate the bombs!"

I looked at the gun in horror.

"The clock is ticking!"

I reached forward and hesitantly pick up the weapon, trying hard to keep my hands form shaking. 

I closed my eyes thinking about how much I hated Joker right now. But then I realized something I didn't have to kill them. It was a nightmare and just like any nightmare you can wake up. I open my eyes and load the weapon. The teens and teams watching me as I placed the gun to my temple. I closed my eyes and pulled the trigger. 

Bang!

Jokers laughter started up and I opened my eyes. Back at square one.
