Big, Big, Bang

"Batman. I have eyes on Veronica and the other hostage," Nightwing spoke, looking through his binoculars.

The bomb was ticking, Veronica was praying, the other girl had still had the bag over her head, and Harley was skipping around like all of this was some sort of interesting game.

"Two minutes 'til ya go kaboom!" Harley giggled, poking Veronica's bloodied and bruised cheek. Veronica glared up at Harley.

"He'll come. and when he does, your a*s is going straight to Arkham, as well as Joker's," Veronica growled.

"My, my, my! Big talk from the little girl with a bomb strapped to her chest, eh?" Harley smirked. Veronica looked away, biting the inside of her cheek. She kept trying to tell herself that Bruce and Richard would show up, but she was quickly losing her faith.

Why the Hell would they wait the whole week to show up? The warehouse was in plain sight, right by the docks, and it was bright green for crying out loud!

"Alright, NIghtwing... Try and get inside, we don't have much time," Batman instructed. Nightwing instantly began darting around the roof, trying to find a weak place to break into.

"Oh! thirty seconds, doll face! I best be on my way!" Harley smiled. She blew Veronica a kiss and grabbed her red and white baseball bat before sprinting out the door.

"Hey...Hey! Don't just leave us here!" Veronica yelled to the laughing clowns. Veronica wasn't ready to die. Not like this. Not now.

Now that she was alone, Veronica began struggling. She wiggled and twisted, only ending up with bloody wists. The vest let out a loud beep, signaling her time was up.

"What the Hell?" She muttered, watching the bubbles flow out of the vest. It wasn't even a real bomb, it was only a trick. Veronica caught sight of something blue in the corner of her eye, but instead, she continued to watch the bubbles flow up to the ceiling.

Watching, she set her gaze on the biggest bubble and let her eyes follow it, but saw something else.

A real bomb.
