It's showtime...

Nightwing's body was rigid, face emotionless, eyes blank and lost; a complete opposite to the rest of the heroes. All yelling, struggling, worried, fearing for their little bird. Yet no matter how strong they were, now they're bound in a prison build with titanium so tough and cold it took away their freedom, this affecting them literally and psychologically; because they felt truly hopeless as if there was no way to escape.

The Joker snaked his right arm around Nightwing's slim waist, smiling so wide his disgusting yellow teeth took half of his face, slowly his smile became a mischievous smirk, staring intently at the younger bird. His left hand touched the strong thigh of the bird, making its way towards the other's hip and resting there, thumbing at the hipbone that showed through the suit emphasizing how much skinnier the hero now was. So very small and delicate, so very easy to break.

"Get your hands off of him!" Roared a weak and raspy voice, Jason had woken up a little while ago, still in a bit of a haze due to the power of the mind control; however, now in the right mind and present.

"Awww~ but I wanna play with my lil toy~" Whined the Joker, a slight, pathetic excuse of a pout resting on his crimson painted lips.

"I don't give a damn about what you want! Let. Him. Go!" Jason yelled harder, struggling against his restraints, trying to get to his "more" than a brother.

"Joker! Let him go! I swear I will break you!" Batman regained a bit of strength after hearing that his second oldest was now awake.

"HAHAHAHA! What a joke, Batsy! You can't do more than just sit because of the way you're tied up~" The Joker sang before letting go of the little bird and pushing Nightwing forward towards the heroes. "Now, let us begin, hmm?" The Joker smirked once more, before backing away a bit with the other villains.

Suddenly, light shined right above Nightwing in his dazed state, making every hero blinded by the sudden light; a couple of gasps came from a few surprised heroes.

A beautiful sound of a piano began to echo around the theatre, seeming sad, only the young heroes seemed to know what the song was and began to struggle even more.

~Play the song~

As the time came after the sweet melody played, Nightwing began to sing.

"I'm sorry mom and dad-" That only line was enough for Batman to stiffen up, and look into Dick's emotionless, masked eyes. "-I know I messed up bad. I should've, should've done, should've done better-" Tears gradually began to appear in Bruce's eyes, no matter how hard he tried he could not push them down.

"I'm sorry mum and dad, for all the time I had~ To get my life, to get my life together.
But I didn't-" Nightwing's eyes were downcast until they settled on the dark ground, he took a deep breath in and continued.

"1993, you gave birth to me~ Sweet little baby girl, had the world in my feet. Before I could even stand~" He sang softly, holding his hands together towards his chest as if shielding his weak heart. "Cradled me in your right and left hand, a precious bundle of unmade plans~" a slight bitter smile crawled to Nightwing's face, eyes still downcast.

"Hopes and dreams of bigger things-" his head rolled back, smile now gone. "- a bright future so it seemed." For the first time, Dick locked eyes with Bruce, and even through the mask Bruce could see all the sadness wound up in his son's eyes.

"Oh, but that light grew a little less bright; as I grew and we began to fight~" Sudden flashbacks of father and son fighting because Batman wanted to save his son from becoming like him, Robin furious and at the edge of crying because Batman would be taking a part of his identity.

"When I was 13, I was so damn mean-" Nightwing held his wrist and pulled it to his chest, a pained expression on his face.

'No Dick... I tried to take Robin from you, none of it was your fault...' Bruce wanted to shout it, break the bonds and not even escape, but to just hold his son, nothing more.

"Running away, had nothing more to say than 'I hate you'." Remembering the dreaded night of when Robin escaped and went to Jump City, to reconnect with himself, and even finding new heros.

"But that's not true now~" A sob ripping from his chest, putting his head down as he continued to sing. "I just don't, I just don't know how to say!" He raised his head again, voice singing beautifully and clearly, if it weren't for the situation the heros would be clapping to the bird's talent.

"I'm sorry mom and dad, I know I messed up bad; I should've, should've done, should've done better." Every hero that was awake felt their heart sinking to their empty stomachs, trusted friends knowing the poor bird's past and feeling nothing but empathy for being forced to recall and recite all of his hardships, with this oddly fitting depressive song.

"I'm sorry mom and dad! For all the time I had, to get my life, to get my life together. But I didn't~" Tears began to fall from Dick's eyes, and slowly running down his pale thin cheeks.

"You never talk about your friends. Because you must be so embarrassed~" Dick sings softly shaking his head lightly.

"No..." Batman whispered softly, tears about to escape his eyes.

It was true that he almost never spoke about Dick; however, it was because the Romanian government wouldn't allow him to adopt Dick, so when he would refer to Dick he would call him his ward and or student, because there's nothing more he could do.

"I dropped out of college without any plans. Moved back home I couldn't even pay rent, I was living on your couch trying to figure it out. Putting myself up and tearing myself down~" When Dick was forced to come back to the manor, it wasn't because Bruce dragged him there, Dick went willingly. The reason however, was not for a family reunion... a villain had sexually assaulted him...

"I'm sorry mom and dad, I know I messed up bad; I should've, should've done, should've done better-" a choked sob and a shaky breath were taken in by the oldest bird till he continued to sing, not missing a beat.

"I'm sorry mum and dad for all the time I had..." this not only being a song for his family that he had now, but also the one HE failed to save. "... To get my life, to get my life together, but I didn't~" Another sob broke from another person in the room, Red Hood, leaned towards his chest, heart filled with agony not only because of the poison, but seemingly his family's pain as well.

The Joker's cackles roared through the theater, yet Nightwing did not stop singing. "I'm sorry that I couldn't buy you, that house upon the hill~" The bird listed some of the things he wished to do for his parents before they died years back. "Or take care of all your medical bills~"

Dick looked at Bruce dead in the eye as he continued. "I know I didn't make you proud, I should've been someone by now, but I never figured out how-" Dick then gripped his hair tightly, not looking away from his fatherly figure. "I'm sorry that I couldn't buy you! That house upon the hill~ Or take care of all your medical bills!" He sang with passion taking a few steps forward until he stood right in front of Batman.

"Chum..." Bruce whispered so lightly, so quiet that it was very hard to hear even for those around them. Staring at his son pleadingly, wishing that his little bird would break away from the spell, tears still holding on for dear life at the corners of his eyes.

"I know I didn't make you proud! I should've been someone by now!" Dick sang even louder at Bruce, tear rolling down his cheeks and falling onto Batman's dark suit.

"But I never figured out how!" Dick backed away from his father, the light above him following his everywhere he went.

"I'm sorry mom and dad, I know I messed up bad; I should've, should've done, should've done better!" Most heros were in tears, trying to break away from their unbreakable bonds that held them to those chairs.

"I'm sorry mom and dad, for all the time I had! To get my life, to get my life together!" Dick's knees buckled and he fell on his knees to the floor, clutching his head with great force.

After a deep breath, and his arms falling from his head, laying limply by his sides. "I'm sorry mom and dad,I know I messed up bad... I should've, should've done, should've done better..." Dick sang softly, as if defeated, lightly hiccuping before singing once again. "I'm sorry mum and dad, for all the time I had. To get my life, to get my life together, but I didn't..." After shaking his head lightly, before rolling his head back to the roof of the theater, the darkness overflowing making it impossible to see the actual roof. "Sincerely your daughter..." was all that was uttered out before Dick collapsed onto his back, tear tracks imprinted on his perfect cheeks. So much pain flowed through him like water, and as he drowned into his self pity, he finally fell unconscious; to be able to escape the cruel reality in which he lived in.

Sobs echoed through the theater, eliminating any trace of hope that the heros had left. Nothing would ever be the same, whether they escaped or not their minds had become prisoners to these mind games.

Joker once again stepped up, clapping as he stepped forward. The tension in the room thickened, with every step that the clown took the rage stored in the heros increased as if it had no limit. Then he put his hands behind his back and leaned a little bit forward, still walking until he reached the fallen bird on the floor.

"Get away from him!!" Jason roared just as a caged lion, tears still streaming and falling from his covered eyes, not even the tears being visible due to the helmet.

"Oh birdey, what are you going to do about it? It's been a while now, and you're all still locked up~" Joker taunted, scrunched his nose a bit, and widened his smile. He then picked up the sleeping bird bride like style and looked at the unconscious bird's face, the ethereal beauty of the bird leaving the clown speechless for a moment, then pretended that it didn't happen by leaning to lick and suck at the hero's jawline, leaving away traces of red blood lipstick.

The villain chuckled once more and said. "You'll all run outta time real soon~"
