When Cam walked into the abandoned building, slowly. Her shoes echoed throughout the place.
"Where are you?!" she shouted into the abyss. "I know you're here!" When she got to the opening she saw something she didn't expect. "Dick? Jason?" She rushed over to them and untied them. They were bloody, bruised, and beaten. "Why are you here?"
"Joker...has...others," Dick choked out.
"Who? Who are the others?"
"Well well well," a sinister voice says. Cam stands up and looks around. Out of the corner of her she turns and see the man. "How have you been?" He comes out of the shadow and is holding Eve. Cam lets out a shriek and runs her hand through her hair.
"Please don't do anything to her," Cam said about to break down. "Don't do anything to her. I'll do anything. Anything you want."
"You think I would harm this precious girl. She's not even yours." Cam heard Eve giggle. The Joker looked at her and smiled. Something that soft has never been seen in something that evil.
"Who are the others? The others that Dick said to me. Who else do you have?!" she shouted at him.
"Let's say it's a little family reunion." A bright light turned on and shined over the family. Cam looked at them and choked up. Each were tied to a chair and someone had a gun pointing to their head. In order it was Tim, Damian, Duke, Taylor, Stephanie, Cassandra, and Barbara. Cam shrieked even louder and fell to her knees. "You said you'd do anything. Pick." Cam looked at him through the tears in her eyes.
"What?" she breathed out. She looked over and saw two men standing over Dick and Jason. Another person came out and fell to the floor. "Alfred?" He looked up at her and his eyes filled with water.
"I'm sorry Lady Camilla."
"Don't, Alfred. Not now." She looked at the Joker and saw he had the gun pointing to the baby's face.
"I won't ask again. Pick!"
"Why are you doing this?"
"I want your family to suffer loss. The same way I suffered loss when you were taken from me. I thought about you everyday when I was in Arkham. You left me for three years. I wanted you to have my baby. Instead you have it with her. I love you more than she ever will!" Everyone looked at the Joker with confusion. They saw he had tears. "I love you." Cam looked at him in disbelief.
"Your joking, right?" She stepped closer to him. "You think you love me? You love the idea I was willing to submit to you. The fact that I let you slap me around gets your dick hard. You live off of me being your slave. Your a sick bastard and one day I will put a bullet in your skull." They were face to face. Joker cocked his gun and so did everyone else.
"Pick." Cam looked at everyone and saw their tears. Their pain. She saw everyone but her eyes landed on Taylor. She looked especially weak. "I see your focus is elsewhere. If you don't pick they will all die. You have 5 seconds. 5."
"Cam pick me!" Stephanie shouted.
"No, me!" Dick also spoke.
"4."
"Cam it's okay," Jason said from behind her.
"Don't listen to him. It should be me," Dick said.
"3."
"God dammit!" Cam yelled.
"Cam just choose me!" Jason yelled at her.
"Jay, I can't."
"2."
"Just fucking do it!"
"I won't!"
"1." Then the lights went out. There was a great deal of commotion. It was completely dark and Cam couldn't see a thing. The light turned and there stood Batman with the Justice League. "Am I that special?" Joker asked while holding the baby tighter.
"Hand her over," Cam said stepping forward.
"One more step and blow her head off!" Cam stopped. A tear streamed down her face.
"Please," she said her voice shaking, "sir." He looked at her. His smile turned sinister. He lowered his gun.
"You do love me."
"I do," she said stepping closer. It was silent. Everyone was watching her. They were watching them.
"You missed me?" he asked in a low voice. Cam smiled slightly.
"Was it obvious?" Taylor was confused by this interaction. Everyone was.
"What the hell...?" Jason said in a low voice. Joker snapped his fingers and a man came forward. He handed the baby to him.
"Tell me."
"Tell you what?" she asked. Joker slapped her. Hard. He grabbed her throat and pulled her forward.
"Tell me you missed me." Cam looked him in the eyes.
"I missed you, sir." She looked away and saw Diana had gotten her baby.
"That's it. Say it again."
"Fuck you." He looked at her with wide eyes. Right when he was about to smack her she head butted him. He fell back and she decided to start punching him. ""You sack of shit! You raped me! Beat me! Humiliated me and you thought I would love you!" The team grabbed her but she kept fighting. "Get off me!" she yelled to them. "He has to pay."
"Cam," Taylor said. She kept thrashing. "Cam!" Camilla stopped. The team let go as she turned around. There she was holding her baby, looking as beautiful as ever. "Please. Stop." She was crying. Cam ran over to her and held them.
"I'm so sorry," she said. "Let's go home."
