"My Love"
(By: Lene Marlin)
Please, come and find me, my love
I'm ready now, to come home
Please, come and find me, my love
Let's leave this place, let's leave no trace
Can you feel me, my love, I'm hurting so bad
Can you feel it
Can tell you about my thoughts, I wish that
You were here
Do you know it
The time that I've had, don't need any more
You're the one I wait for
"I'm as much as a hero as you all are! My age has nothing to do with my performance in the battlefield! You can't just leave me here while you fight!" Dick yelled at Wally, tears of rage gathering in his eyes.
"I'm not saying that, Dick. I just think that maybe you should sit this one out. You are exactly what this predator likes, you could be a victim!" Why couldn't his boyfriend understand his worries? They were investigating a sociopath that enjoyed raping and kidnapping boys, bellow 15 years old. Dick was exactly the type of boy he was looking for small, lithe, blue eyes and black haired. Wally didn't want him to become another victim.
"I already told you Wally! I can defend myself, I am not helpless!" They had been arguing for a while now, and Dick kept saying that, why didn't he realize that Wally never thought of him as weak, he was just worried.
"Look Dick, I just worry about you! I don't want anything bad happening to you." Wally approached the boy with a hand outstretched, trying to take a hold of the boy's cheek. His hand was fiercely slapped away. Wally was stunned, Dick never refused his touch…
"Leave me alone Wally, I don't want to see you right now." Dick spoke softly, but his voice still shook with anger. He walked out of Wally's room, leaving a sad redhead behind.
"Why can't you understand…I love you…so much." Wally sat on his bed, wishing his boyfriend wasn't so stubborn.
Robin left the mountain and climbed on his bike. He was so angry at Wally, how dare he question his ability? He was the most experienced, he was the one that trained the most, the one that had the most demanding mentor. He could protect himself and he would prove it.
He sped up, going back to Gotham. He would find that perverted man and take him down on his own.
"Robin? Robin, open up, I'm sorry. Please, forgive me?" Wally was leaning his forehead against Dick's door, knocking on it, trying to get the boy to open it. It had been around 2 hours since they had fought and Wally hoped the boy had calmed down by now. "Come on, I'm sorry…" Wally sighed and turned, leaning his back against it, sliding down to the floor, pulling his legs to his chest, surrounding them with his arms and leaning his head against them.
"I don't think he's in there Wally, I can't hear movement." Wally looked up and found Superboy looking down at him, a confused look on his face.
"Are you sure?" The speedster stood up and looked at Dick's door worried. "Not even his breathing?"
"No, there's no one in there." Superboy walked until he was standing next to Wally. "Do you want me to knock the door down?"
"No, that's fine Supey, I'll just call him, he probably just went home." Wally smiled at him, no need to make the whole team worried because he had fought with his boyfriend.
"Okay, then." Superboy left and Wally went looking for Dick around the cave, finding out his bike was gone too. He ran to his room while trying to call Dick to his cell phone, but as he passed Dick's room he heard it's ringtone coming from inside, he felt an uneasy feeling settle on his gut.
He ran to his room and got his comm. link to contact Dick, but the boy's device was turned off. Wally started worrying, Robin never turned his comm. link off, made the bat all worried and paranoid. Now, it was doing the same to Wally. He tried to calm down and decided to call directly to Wayne Manor, at least he would know he was okay.
"Wayne household, how may I help you?" Alfred's voice was heard from the other line.
"Alfred? Is Dick there?"
"Good evening, Master West. No Master Richard has not come back yet, I thought he was there." Wally heard Alfred's worry and that made him even more uneasy. He realized this could be serious, that Dick could be in real danger.
"He left, but I don't know how long ago, I looked through the whole cave, and his bike's missing too. I couldn't reach him on his link and his cell phone is in his room. I'm worried Alfred…" Wally's voice shook at the end of the sentence, showing how afraid he really was.
"I'll contact Master Bruce, if you could please search for him around the mountain, on the beach, anywhere you can master West."
"Okay Alfred, I'll do that, tell me if Batman knows anything?"
"Will do master West." Alfred hung up and Wally sped up outside, running to the beach and to the forest around mount justice, he found nothing. He was running through the highway, hoping not to find Dick in some traffic accident, when his comm. link beeped.
"Dick?" Wally's voice was panicked as he answered, hints of relieve finding its way into his tone. He stopped running and stood on a side from the highway.
"No, it's Batman and it would be Robin, Kid Flash." Batman's rough voice was heard through the device, and Wally realized his mistake, luckily it was Bruce and not some of his teammates.
"Sorry, is he there with you?" The worry left somewhat, he knew that Batman would surely help him find his missing boyfriend.
"No, I'm currently in Germany. But that's what I'm calling about. I can't trace him and there's no way to contact him." Wally felt the worry come back ten times worse. "I'm going back right now. Tell Red Tornado to check the security cameras, we need to know how long he's been missing."
"Okay, I…I'll do that…" Wally felt totally lost, what if Dick was in trouble? What if he was hurt? How could Wally help him if he didn't know where he was?
"Don't worry, we'll find him." Batman's voice was softer, Wally knew he was trying to reassure himself as much as him.
Robin walked into the sociopath's house, slowly and silently. He had finally found the kidnapper's location after investigating each disappearance meticulously, and having reduced the locations to this particular house. He had actually infiltrated the FBI's files so he could find as much information about the victims as possible.
He was looking for a place where the boy could be hidden, but found nothing in the top floors, or in the basement, not even in the garage. He walked out of the house, through the back door and looked for some kind of warehouse or trap door, but found nothing. He leaned down and started looking for traces on the floor. After pushing some pants around, he found some footprints on the mud. The house was located near a mountain, and the back of the house led to a forest from which the mountain rose. Robin followed the footprints and the path that had somewhat formed from all the times it had been walked, until he reached the mountain and he saw a small cave. The entrance was small and Robin had to bend to fit through, he guessed a grown man would have to crawl in.
He walked forward discreetly. He could hear some soft shifting sounds, like someone was moving further inside. Robin walked into a bigger part of the cave. The only light came from a small candle, placed in a table, covered with some paper cuts and some other papers. Robin walked around, seeing various cages around the walls, and many candles, even if only one was on. He approached one of the cages and saw a boy inside, he seemed to be around fifteen years old. He was sitting with his knees pulled up to his chest and his face hidden against them. The boy was shaking and he was clutching his arms tightly, he seemed scared.
"Hey, are you hurt?" Dick started working on opening the lock on the cage as the boy looked at him. He had clear blue eyes and dark brown hair, the boy crawled towards Robin.
"N-no, but I-I wanna go home." The boy seemed to recognize him even in the dark since he approached and stood directly in front of him. "There's a man, he came in earlier, he was dirty and weird. He took me when I was walking home. I don't know what happened, I don't remember anything."
"It's okay, I'll get you out of here." Dick started working on the lock as he said it. It was an old padlock, rusty and with a huge keyhole. Robin was having some trouble to unlock it since his technology wasn't ready for such old devices. "You're Darren Evans aren't you? He took you a week ago. He hasn't hurt you?"
"I am and no, he kept saying that my hair was wrong that it should be darker, I think that's why he didn't do anything to me yet." The boy looked at him as he fumbled with the padlock.
"You were wrong, you were too different." A man walked in from the direction of the entrance. "They all were, with blue eyes that were too clear, or too dark. With the wrong hair, they weren't you, Boy Wonder." the man smirked evilly and walked forward with a metal crowbar on his hand.
Robin took a fighting stance and Darren tensed behind him, he had noticed the lust in the man's eyes too.
The man rushed forward and Robin managed to avoid him and the weapon, the man chased him around the cave, trying to hit him with the pipe, but he never let Robin close to the exit of the cave. The ceiling was too low for him to jump over the man and get out of the cave, besides he couldn't just leave Darren there.
"Let's stop playing games, shall we? I have a proposition for you, little bird." The man smiled slyly at him, and Robin knew it wouldn't end up right for him.
"What is it?"
The man walked backwards toward the desk placed against a wall and moved some papers around until he found a brown leather binder. He pulled it out and threw it to the floor in front of Robin. The boy picked it up and walked a little further from the man. Opening it he saw the first page had the picture of a small boy, with dark hair and green eyes, next to the picture was a "Missing" poster with the boy's picture and name. Robin passed the page and almost dropped the binder in shock. The picture showed the boy dead and placed in a hole on the ground. Dick looked under the picture and saw that there was an address written there. Robin passed the page, to find another kid's photo, this time there was no poster, but the boy's name was written underneath. Robin skipped past some pages and he could see that all the pages where filled with pictures of boys, their names and burial locations written next to the pictures. Robin looked up at him and the man smiled evilly.
"The boy can go, he can take that and I'll even give him my ID…" He approached Robin slowly as the small hero walked backwards away from him. "But you stay."
Robin heard the proposal and didn't like it at all. He knew it would be terrible for him to agree, but he had to think of Darren. He had to think about all the boy's parents that needed to know what happened to their kids, if only to finally have some closure.
"You won't take the deal? well that's a pity, you can leave then. But the kid stays here, with me." He grinned in that unnerving way again.
The police needed that binder if they would ever catch the guy. And if they knew who he was they would be able to catch him. Robin couldn't leave, he knew he couldn't. He was a hero after all.
"Fine. Let him go, I'll stay." He heard a gasp from behind him. He looked at Darren to find him staring at him surprised. The man walked forward Robin let him approach, he took his gloves off, and his belt, before patting him down, searching for another weapon, then he pushed him towards one of the cages and pushed him in. He touched his cheek tenderly, before locking it.
"Your lucky day, Darren." The guy smiled at him and let him out. He took the binder and pushed it into his hands, then taking his wallet out of his pocket and handing it to Darren. "You can leave." He gestured the exit of the cave as if it was an invitation. Darren stared back at Robin, worriedly and frightened.
"I'll bring help." He said softly as the man grunted in annoyance at him. Darren ran out taking the binder and ID with him, trying his best to get out of the woods fast and find someone that could help him.
The man turned around and started walking towards him.
"I finally have you…" He got to the cage and passed his hand through, trying to touch his cheek, but Robin moved away from him. The man laughed and turned, he started collecting some of the things on the cave. "We may have to change location, we don't want the league interrupting our fun, do we?"
The man smiled evilly again and Dick walked to the edge of the cage he was in and sat on the ground, trying to think of a way to escape. He didn't know how to get out of the situation this time. He didn't have his gloves, so there were no gadgets to use, not that he could've used them with the man so close. He didn't have any way to contact Bruce either, and it wouldn't really matter, he was somewhere in the world working on a league mission so he wouldn't suddenly appear to save him. His team wouldn't notice for some time, he was alone.
He wished he had listened to Wally's advice and stayed away from the mission. He wished he could be in Mount Justice now, away from this cave. He wished Wally was there to save him. He wanted the redhead with him, his boyfriend would've protected him, he would save him. He wondered how much it would take them to realize he was in trouble, how long it would be for Wally to save him. Once again he wished he was back in Wally's room, with the redhead's arms around him, safe and happy.
"Please Wally come and find me…"
