The awakening was a rude one as smelling salts were not a kind way to come out of unconciousness. Not to mention the fact he still had a headache from the baseball bat to the noggin. There were two slender arms around his neck as the now familiar voice of the Joker cooed from behind. As she walked around he looked at her with hunger in his eyes, she had done something to him, he couldn't put his finger on it quite yet, and the kiss she laid on him was deep, he returned it unwillingly, and he grew more and more aroused.<br/><br/>With little choice but to listen Batman heard the proposal of this<i>deal</i>she touted to him, it was an interesting offer, but making such a move would prove to be career suicide. His days being taken seriously as Batman would be finished and the Gotham City Police Department would be sure to hunt him down for vigilante activity that they had so far let slide.<br/><br/>The rope he was bound to the chair with held him well, but whoever had tied him up had a flaw, they put rope to close to the gauntlets on his forearms, and while he looked at his suit his arms made small movements to begin to fray the rope. Whoever had moved him had not been kind, he saw scuff marks on his thighs, the emblem on his chest had some scratches on it, and there were various dents all over. Needless to say he had been roughed up just a bit.<br/><br/>It was not too long before the structure of the rope was compromised and he felt the binds loosen to the point he could move his arms. He shifted and shimmied until finally the ropes were loose enough he could fully move his arms. He used the sharp gauntlets on his forearms to cut the rest of the binds and rose up to his feet on wobbly legs. While he did not have a full blown concussion his head was still spinning a little from the bat and the drug he had been injected with played havoc on his balance.<br/><br/>If he had to venture a guess it was designed to prevent him from fighting back, but he was going to try. "I hate to disappoint you, well not really, but this isn't going to happen. Although maybe you will get the chance to try and escape my binds," his right hand produced a pair of shiny metal handcuffs from his utiliy belt that had not been taken from him. He tossed a smoke pellet her way and as quickly as his legs would allow Batman made it over to the Joker and slapped a cuff on her left wrist while now going for her right one.
