Disclaimer: I do not own Smallville. If I did, we would have had the entire Justice League on the season premiere.
Summary: The kidnappers were cocky. They always got away, even though the FBI would be working on the cases. None of the cases, however, brought in the Justice League, until now when a member in their secret identity is kidnapped by them.
"Call me!" the beautiful blonde yelled over the noise of the club. Her short skirt and strapless shirt bounced with her as she moved to the rap song playing. She was in the most popular club in Metropolis. She had been dancing with the cute guy. She couldn't even convince him to stay and go home with her. So, she gave him her cell phone number.
"Definitely," shouted the guy she had just given her phone number to. He curled it around his finger and slipped it into his pocket along with his cell phone and glasses. It's not like he really needed to take them along just in case a mission were to happen. He just liked putting them on to annoy people when the song "Sunglasses at Night" came on.
He stepped out into the chilled air and shivered. He rolled down the sleeves of his tradition red hooded sweatshirt and started walking through the crowds in front of the club. He couldn't speed away In front of all the people, so he went into a side alley. His mind had been set on getting home and the girl he just met that he didn't notice the person standing behind him. In one sweep, the person had his arm behind his back and a chloroform soaked cloth on his mouth and nose. After struggling for a minute, he finally passed out. Another person joined them.
Their performance was clean, well rehearsed. The person that had performed the task set about taping his arms behind his back. One then taped his mouth while another wrapped a cloth around his eyes. They picked up him up and carried him to a waiting van. The person wrapped his legs at strategic areas to allow for the least chance of escape and the easiest carrying.

Oliver Queen paced. He went up to Bart's room after eight when he didn't come down for the beginning of football. He tried the kitchen and then thought about the club on West Avenue. "Victor, did you hear anything about Bart going out tonight?" he asked.
"No. But then I haven't been listening to anything he's been saying for the last couple of days." Victor went back to the game he was watching.
Oliver then went to Arthur, who was in the swimming pool. "AC, did you hear where Bart was heading tonight?"
"Haven't paid attention to him."
Oliver then went to Dinah's room. He knocked a couple of times before hearing her come to the door. "Have you seen Bart?"
"He didn't think I was listening, but he went to the club. He figured on picking up girls and if that didn't work, he was going to come back at about 11."
"Thank you." Though now he had information, he wouldn't be happy until Bart came home. "It's a school night." He walked into the living room when his phone going off.
He checked it before trying to answer it. Which was a good idea because it wasn't an incoming call, it was a message. He opened it to see Bart. The picture was of his head and shoulders. He could see that he was blindfolded, gagged and unconscious. He looked at the bottom of the page. "Six million in twelve hours. You'll get more information in six hours."
Dinah came into the living room. "Did you get…" she started.
"Yes. Victor, check your phone." Victor got his phone out and opened up the message.
"Is this some type of joke?" AC said, walking into the room. He held his phone's screen out, somewhat pointing it at them.
"I don't think it's a joke." Victor said, holding his phone for him to see the picture.
"Everyone else has it?" Dinah and Oliver held up their cell phones.
"Okay, someone has the fastest person alive, and they don't exploit him. Does something seem wrong with this picture?" Victor pointed out.
"I don't think this has to do with Bart's abilities. I think it has to do with Oliver's roll as his guardian. Over the last five months, several kids have been kidnapped for ransom," Dinah said.
"So, Bart's been taken for ransom," AC said.

Bart woke up to no vision. That usually didn't happen. (Unless you think of the time where his nails were painted a bright red by the girls while he was asleep.) So he tried to see if this was the prank (or something worse) over again and found he couldn't move his hands.
"Hey, guys," he tried saying, finding his mouth was covered in duct tape. He thought of two things. One, the guys were going to the extreme to keep him from making smart comments. Two, he had been kidnapped. He thought the second when he heard voices he didn't recognize.
Bart had been testing the duct tape on his wrists when someone knelt close to him. "Are you awake?" the voice asked. Bart's smart answer was to flip the person off. He received a blow to the back of the head for that. "Smart aleck. We figured that out when we watched you for the past few weeks."
"Few weeks! Why didn't I know about it until now?" Bart thought.
"Now listen. You don't try to escape. You don't call for help. You don't do anything unless we tell you, got it?" Bart's response ended in another hit to the head. "Move your head." Bart couldn't move his arms or his legs and he couldn't talk his way out. He nodded his head in defeat.
Yeah, the only episode that I have watched with any of these characters is Justice. (And Run for Bart) If they're totally off, please don't kill me over it. Review if you please.
