RWBY Under the Red Hood AU

Chapter 1

Raven Branwen POV:

Raven is in a luxurious palace listening to a report from her assistant, details of Team RWBY and their partner and is shocked about what she hears.

Raven:(dropping her glass of wine in shock) I knew I shouldn't have allied myself with a madman.

At the same time Team RWBY the other three in their car and Yang on her bike desperately hitting the throttle just trying to get there.

Raven: Where are They?

Assistant: (sifting through his paperwork) In Vacuo Ma'am. And he has the boy.

In Vacuo in an abandoned warehouse Robin AKA Jason Todd is being heled by one of Team RWBY's most dangerous enemy and being beaten up.

Joker swings his crowbar hitting Jason on the chin and knocking him down.

Jason: (coughing)

Joker: Wow! That looked like it really hurt? (smiling) he swings the crowbar down again continuing to beat him mercilessly.

Jason is struggling to breathe.

Joker: Whoop! Now hold on that looked like it hurt a lot more (patting the crowbar in his other hand)So lets try and clear this up more okay pumpkin? So what hurts more?

Joker: (swinging the crowbar down and hitting him again) A or B? continuing the beating Forehand? Or Backhand? swinging down for one final time HA! HA! HA! HA!

Jason: (struggling to speak)

Joker leans down on the ground closer to hear him

Joker: (mockingly imitating his struggle) A little louder Lambchop. I think you have a collapsed lunge. That always impedes the oratory. stroking his hair.

Jason leans his head up to spit his own blood at him.

Joker: (angrily smacks his head onto the ground) Now that was rude. taking out a handkerchief The knight boy had some manners. He then proceeds to wipe the blood off his cheek.

Jason just turns back to him just smiling.

Joker: (after wiping the blood off him) I suppose I'm gonna have to teach you a lesson, so you can better follow in his footsteps. ( he stops to process for a bit) Nah! I'm just gonna keep beating you with this crowbar. (raising the crowbar to swing down again) he then plants his foot in Jason's back laughing.

Jason can do nothing but just close his eyes.

Back at Raven's Palace:

Raven: Where are the Huntresses? 

Assistant: Their on there way.

Team RWBY is moving as fast as they can trying to get to Jason. following Yang.

Assistant: But Ma'am they won't make it there in time.

Raven looks down closing her eyes.

Yang is hitting the throttle on her bike with the others behind her.

Back at the Warehouse: 

Joker is heading out the door adjusting his tie.

Joker: Okay kiddo I gotta go, It's been fun though right! while putting on his coat Well maybe a smidge more fun for me than you I'm just guessing since you're being awfully quiet. Anyway be a good boy and finish your homework and be in bed by 9:00! And hey! Please tell the Big Man I said Hello. HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! leaving closing the door behind him his laugh can still be heard.

Jason is left struggling moving off his back flipping over moving his hands free and allowing him to stand. he starts to struggle trying to find a way out, he tries to walk only to fall down. But still looks on too the door crawling on his chest and stomach forward.
