Clark and Bruce were in the cave going over some files. Clark had come over to ask Bruce for some help. Him and the league had been working on a case for a while and hadn't quite been able to crack it. Bruce was gloating over the fact that the league couldn't operate without him when Dick radioed in.

"Hey Bruce."

"What's up Dick?"

"Remember that cult we were investigating? Remember we thought their headquarters was in that warehouse by the docks? I was going to go check it out."

"No Dick I don't want you going in there by yourself it's too dangerous. Wait until some backup is available."

"No I can handle it. It's just a dusty old warehouse there probably won't be anybody in there anyway. They probably packed up and left already. Besides if it turns out to be more I can radio for help if I need it."

"No Dick I really don't want you going in there. I'm telling you its too dangerous wait for backup.

"No! I'm telling you I can handle it's not that big a deal and I promise I will radio for help if I need it although I doubt I will.

"Dick I'm telling you not to go in there that's an order." Bruce said in his sternest voice.

"An order huh? You lost the right to give me orders a long time ago. Look I am almost there anyway. I will call you later ok?

"Dick I mean it I don't want you to- the next thing Bruce heard was a Boom! Then a Crash! Then Arrghhh!" then the line went dead

"Dick? Dick? Dick!" but the line was dead.

Both Clark and Bruce stood there in shock for a moment.

"We have to get out there." Clark nodded

"I can trace his signal and pinpoint his exact location."

Bruce went to get in his car but Clark put a hand on his shoulder.

"Let me fly you there it will be faster."

"Ok" Bruce said.

When they got there they saw signs of an explosion but no signs of Dick.

Nightwing? Nightwing? Nightwing? Bruce shouted as he moved about the wreckage.

Clark moved around the wreckage using his x ray vision to survey the entire area.

He was also intently listening to anything and everything in the area to see if there was anything that could give them a clue but there was nothing.

"Clark come over here."

Clark went over to where Bruce was standing. There was Dick's bike completely charred and beyond repair.

"And look over here."

Clark went to look and saw tire tracks that lead off in one direction. They followed them about a half mile but then the tracks ended.

"It looks like they were heading to the docks."

"Yes but they could've gone anywhere from here." Bruce said shaking his head in despair.

"Did you find anything?"

Clark shook his head.

"Don't get discouraged Bruce we will find him." "They couldn't have gotten that far."

Bruce nodded. Alright I think we should examine the site a bit more and then head back to the cave. I'm afraid that league case will have to be put on the back burner until this gets resolved.

Clark nodded. "Of course and I'm sure the whole league would be more than willing to help with this."

Bruce nodded.

"Alright then let's get to it."
