Author's Note: Ok so part two of this! I'm going to split it into Alex's point of view and Daisy's point of view too. Enjoy guys!

Alex:

I groaned and brought my head forward. I slowly opened my eyes, well I thought I did. Everything was black, I blinked hard a couple of times making sure that I had opened them. But the room was pitch black. I reached out trying to feel my surroundings. I was sitting on a chair, my hands were tied behind my back, and as I tried to move my legs my legs were tied too. Daisy, the memory hit me like a freight train. Where was she, was she hurt? I struggled against my bonds.

"Easy there Blade," A disembodied voice told me.

I looked around, but it was useless, I couldn't see, "What do you want Joker? I know it's you."

"Tut, tut, tut. Not willing to play along with my little game? Well we can just continue with the show," The Joker cackled somewhere to my right.

"What's your game? Where is Shadow?" I growled.

"Come now, you're little one is safe and sound. I know as a mother you worry," He moved around the room. I clenched my jaw, he knew that I was Daisy's mother, that meant he knew that Dick was her father.

"Leave her alone Joker, she is just a child," I said.

"Ha! Well it doesn't really bother me to be honest. That dear Jason, and then well you and Batgirl, we all had a bit of fun? Remember the last time we met? That isn't the same kid is it? I thought the other one the crow bar dealt with?" He jeered.

I felt my blood boil, if I wasn't tied down I would be choking him, "You shut up Joker. You are a sick, insane bastard that deserves to die."

"Well why didn't you? Why didn't your Bat Dad end me? I'll tell you why, it's because he doesn't love all of you, what he loves is the cape and cowl. The drama, the fame. He loves Gotham's need for him. And without me there is no need for him really. We make each other; Jing and Yang, Chaos and Order, good and evil, if you want a simpler term, but I personally don't like it." I could hear his feet scuff off the floor as he walked around me.

"You're wrong," I said quietly, fear began to grow in my chest.

"Am I?" He whispered close to my ear. "You know it Blade, he is just bat-shit crazy. And you let your daughter into this world. Do you not love her?"

I shook my head trying to make him stop, "Shut up you sick son-of-a-bitch! I love my daughter more then anything! Everything was going well until you showed up!"

"But I'm always going to show up Blade. Always." And then he was gone. Silence fell. It was just me and my thoughts.

Daisy:

Mom, Mom, Mommy? Get a grip Daisy, I scolded myself, Mom and Dad would never be like this, think. I looked around the room, were my eyes open? It was so dark, pitch black. Grandpa had done a training exercise like this, I had to try and find him and Uncle Damien, but I had failed each time. I had to get a grip on my surrounding like Mom always told me to do. I took a deep breath and tried to centre myself. Suddenly I snapped my eyes open, there was a noise in the room, someone was here with me.

"Who's there?" I asked.

"Who, whoooo..? Are you asking little Owl?" A broken, cracking voice asked me.

"Stop playing games. Who are you?!" I demand.

"Oh but little Shadow, you don't know who I am, what a pity. Ha ha ha," He sneered.

Then it hit me, "Joker!" Oh god, my heart started to race, "Where are Blade and Nightwing?'

"Don't worry little bird Mommy and Daddy are fine, for now," Joker said, his voice seemed closer.

I struggled in my seat, "What ever you're doing stop it!"

"Why would I? I'm mad, insane, over the hill, off my rocker, lost my marbles." He laughed horribly.

I shook my head, Jason had told me about him, told me what he did to him, "You're not as mad as you like to pretend you are. You just say you're mad so you can justify all the sick, twisted things that you do!"

"Why aren't you clever!? But alas I think you are right." He sighed, "Did Mommy ever tell you what I did to her?" I gulped. What was he talking about? "Well by your little silence there I think not. It was about, oh I don't know, eleven or so years ago, and she was a little foolish lets say and came running to the 'rescue' of your dear Uncle. She walked right into my little trap, and what a silly girl she was."

I was fighting back the tears, he was pure evil, nothing more.

"And well she was strong, but you're older brother or sister to-be wasn't." I could practically hear him grin.

"You're a sick. You murder people and laugh about it. I hope Red Hood, Batman, Blade and Nightwing get here so I can laugh as they beat you to a pulp," I hissed at him.

"I see you have that old Robin fight in you, maybe I can get that out of you," I felt him right near my ear, I had my escrima sticks he would be on the floor already.

"Piss off," I growled at him.

"Manners little hero, manners," He scolded me. "Well I tire of this, I think I might go say hi to my other guests." I hear him walk out of a door and then shut behind him. I was alone in the dark again. All alone.

I felt a tear roll down my face, I wanted Mom, I wanted Dad. Just to sit with them, talk to them. I loved on the weekends when Dad would get Mom a cup of tea and we'd all get into their bed together and watch Saturday morning TV, just us as a family. I wanted to go to the gym with Dad and watch him train his students, then when they didn't get something he would show them, flipping high into the air with such ease. Then run down to Mom's work and surprise her at her office, she'd always greeted me with a smile and a huge hug. Then she'd take me out for lunch and we'd go walking in the park or Grandpa would take us somewhere. I missed Damien too, he was such a good uncle. Always fun and coaching me when Mom couldn't. Barbara and Jason were like second parents to me, some times I would go to their place when Mom and Dad were out on a mission or patrol and Jason would make popcorn or take us to the cinema. And Grandpa, he might not be the warmest person in the world, but when it was just us I would sit on his lap and he would tell me stories about missions and Mom and Dad back in the day, he was always there, our family's massive safety net. We were a family, all together. But now I didn't know what was going to happen. I closed my eyes and exhaled, I had to be patient.

Alex:

I jolted awake. I couldn't move my mouth, I couldn't' move my face. I could see a dim light through a hemp sack that was covering my head. Was that a person opposite me? I could make out shapes, I tried to move my body forward but I was sitting at some kind of table.

Then I heard him speak, "Ta Da! Dinner is served. Oh don't worry old friend, they're fine and dandy. Just bound and gagged, silent listeners at the table. I've kept them entertained though. Been talking to them for hours, letting them know what you really think of them." I saw the Joker's outline move to the person opposite me and I realised that I recognised the uniform, it was Dick. Joker put his hands over Dick's ears. I wanted to scream at him.

"In about six seconds Joker I'll be free and I'm going to break…" Dad's voice growl from somewhere near the top of the table.

"Not so fast Bats! I wouldn't get up if I were you, after all, do you smell something?" The Joker seemed to grin.

"Gasoline," Dad said quietly.

"That's right. I have anointed them and they await your judgement! They're are flints under your chair legs and under the table. So if you feel that this dinner is getting a little taxing then all you have to do is rise and leave the table and they will all burn in shame. Oh and I have old Jeeves here too," He paused and I heard something move in the back of the room, that wasn't a good sign. "Now listen Alfie old boy, I think it's time for the first course!"

Suddenly the hemp sack flew off my head and I nearly got sick. I looked across wide eyed at Dick and beside him was Daisy. Their faces were bandaged and I could see blood on the wrappings. Barbara, Tim, Damien and Jason were at the table too, all in the same state.

"Joker! What have you done!?" Dad shouted.

"What have I done? I've dressed them for the party or rather undressed them. Taken off the clothes that have been invisible to everyone but you my king. Expooooooosed them. And speaking off, would you mind Jeeves?" The Joker gestured to Alfred.

I looked up as Alfred lurched across the floor. I saw him, he was drugged up to the nines. He had been dosed with some Joker Gas. He reached over me and he pulled up the cloche that was covering a plate in front of me. When my eyes fell on what was there, I screamed into my gag and jumped back. My own face was staring at me from a bowl of ice. I looked around the room, Dick's handsome face was in a bowl in front of him and little Daisy looked like she was having a panic attack staring down at her own little face in a bowl.

"How could you?" Dad demanded.

The Joker turned and grinned at him, "How? It was easy Bats! Just slice, pull, chill and serve. 30 minute recipe and they come off so easily. There's nothing beneath these pretty things after all, they're not like you and me, you see, under the skin. Beneath it all there is only flesh," He poked Tim in the cheek with a finger.

"I hate nothing more on this Earth than you Joker," Dad said through gritted teeth.

"Tut tut! I beg to differ. You have never revealed me for who I really am, before all of this!" Joker grinned in triumph.

"There has never been any DNA to link you?" I saw Dad look at the floor, what was he planning?

"Well then. Why didn't you just kill me? After all I've done?" The Joker leaned down to him. I saw Jason narrow his eyes.

"Because you'd win then," Dad said into his lap.

"Exactly! Because I'd win! But you see Bats I win by living! But you have you're moral code and you stick to it, for what reason I will never know. So let me tell them the reason why you don't end it. The one you don't want to admit in front of all of them. The one you'll never admit to anyone, but me." He turned to us, "So you wanna know kiddies? You wanna know why the doors and windows are left unlocked at night? Why he lets me creep in," He pointed to me, "to get you," - to Dick - "and you" - to Jason - "And you (again)" - to Damien and Daisy - "To both of you" - and Babs - "And of course you".

He reached into his pocket and took out a lighter, "Well I think we have just about done all we can here."

I looked over at Dick and Daisy, I wanted to hold them, hug them again. But then Dad caught my eye, he nodded. Joker dropped the lighter and the room went up like a bonfire. Dad was loose in seconds.

"You forgot one thing Joker. I know these caves better than anyone," He threw an explosive into the ceiling and then suddenly water poured down on top of us.

I wiggled in my chair and snapped my ties. I untied my legs and quickly untied Damien beside me. I reached up to my face. I had to see, I unwrapped the bandages. They fell away and I touched my face and gasped. I was ok. I looked over at Dick and Daisy. I ran over to them and wrapped Daisy in a hug.

"Baby are you ok?" I said into her hair.

"Mom, oh my god Mom," She said, tears flowing down her face.

"Hush, it's gonna be ok," I said. Daisy coughed into my chest and rubbed her face against my costume. I looked up to see if everyone else was alright. Dick was standing with Dad telling him to go after Joker, Jason and Tim were holding back Alfred to make sure he didn't hurt himself and Damien was helping Barbara out of the her ties. I kissed Daisy on the head and pulled her away from me, "Come on honey, lets see what's going on."

I walked over with Daisy in toe to Dick. Dad turned and ran down after Joker, I smiled to myself, Joker was going to deeply regret what he had done. Suddenly someone ran past me, I reached out and grabbed them.

"Jason! Stay here," I looked up at him.

"But he has to pay Alex!" He demanded.

I pulled him back with the help of Damien, "And he will. Now we need to get out of here, Babs, Tim. Have you got Alfred?"

"Yeah," Tim answered, "I've scanned his blood work and we have the antidote in the Batcave."

I nodded, "Computer, scanned the area and find an exit." I felt Dick put his hand on my lower back, I knew he was freaked, he only did that when he was nervous about something.

"Ha ha ha….. bomb…. ha ha," Alfred suddenly coughed.

My eyes grew wide and I turned to the centre piece of the table and I could hear the beeping. I had to think quickly, I couldn't let my family come to harm again, there was no way. I looked around the room…..15… 14…. "Everyone down into the shaft that Alfred came out of! Now!" I barked. We all ran forward but then I heard something that made my heart stop.

"Mom!" Daisy shouted. I whipped around, Daisy's cape was caught.

"No!" I screamed. I went to run to help her but Damien held me back. "Let me go!" Then out of no where Jason and Dick ran together towards my little girl. I looked at the timer…. 5…..4…., no this could happen.

The world slowed down, I felt Damien pull me below. I struggled but he was taller and stronger than me, he wasn't a ten year old boy now. The blast ripped through the room above, I shielded my eyes from the light and dropped to my knees. I felt Barbara put her arms around me, trying to tell me that it was going to be ok. Once I knew that the room was clear, I didn't care if it was unsafe, I pushed open the doors and leapt out.

"Alex!" Tim shouted, "You might not want to see what's there." The rest of them jumped out after me bar Alfred as Damien had tied him.

I looked around the room, the table was in pieces, and some of the roof had caved in. But where were they? I felt tears roll down my face, not all of them, not today, not ever and for one, not again.

Something caught my eye, something was moving. I ran over just as something black and something else stood, rising to their feet letting the rubble fall to the ground.

"You're alive," I breathed.

Jason dusted off his biker jacket, "Come on, I don't die that easily."

"Mom!" Daisy's little voice came from behind Dick's hip. She ran out, her cape torn and her eye bruised but she was alive. I hugged her close and tight, "Ow Mom, my ribs."

I laughed, "Sorry baby." Jason walked past me and I grabbed his arm, "Jay, you ran out to save her. Ran out to a bomb."

"She's family Alex, you know how much that means to me," Jason smiled down at Daisy who was wrapped around my waist. She broke from me and hugged Jason tightly, he hugged her back and ran his hand over her head.

I felt Dick take my hand, I squeezed it back. "You ok?" I asked.

"Yeah fine," He smiled down at me.

We made it back to the Batcave finally and gave Alfred the antidote. The whole team was fried, exhausted. I went up stairs and made up beds for everyone, there was no way that we would make it home tonight. I went into my old room and made up my bed. I felt a little tug on my t-shirt, I turned to see Daisy, her eyes filled with tears.

"Oh baby, its ok," I sat on the bed and pulled her too me. "You talk about what happened whenever you want ok." I rocked her from side to side. "I'm so sorry, I should have never brought you into this."

"I want it Mom, before when it was just me and you and Dad. It was so much fun, but then the Joker got me in the apartment, I couldn't get away. I thought I was going to die Mom, that he was going to get me." Her voice was breaking. "Then I was just in a dark room, on my own, I thought I was never going to see you and Dad again. The Joker, he said horrible things about you, but I know they aren't true." She said forcefully.

"Hush," I said and held her closely. I heard a knock at the door, I looked up, Dick was standing there. I remembered back to the first time he stood in my door way; a lithe, small ten year old boy with a grin across his face and a twinkle in his eye. Now he was tall, athletic, powerful, but there was no smile until he looked up. His hair fell back from his eyes and they glistened blue, and the corner of his mouth lifted in a smile.

"Room for one more?" He asked. I nodded and he crossed the room and sat on the other side of Daisy, wrapping us both in a hug.

I smiled to myself, "One thing you need to know Daisy. Your Dad, me, your Grandpa, Damien, Tim, Barbara, Jason and Alfred, we are always here, and some times you might not be able to see us, we'll always come back. We are a family, and nothing the Joker, TwoFace or anyone that tries will stop that. You are a Grayson and half a Wayne, and from what I've seen of your Dad over the last twenty seven years Grayson's are something to be reckoned with, and well in terms of being a Wayne, you know your Grandfather. So what I'm trying to say is Daisy, what ever you choose to do with your life, you are going to be great at it."

The End…..

PS Author's Note: So guys! The end has come! I'm going to take a little break and cook up ideas and head back to my other fanfic Out of the Past, so have a look at that if you all want. Thank you all so much for following this, I'm glad that you all enjoyed it and who knows I might revisit it in time, but I think Dick, Alex and Daisy need a break.
