"What do you mean she's gone?! She can't just disappear!" Dick snapped, gripping Bruce's shoulders so hard that it might've left bruises the next morning. The older man shrugged him off and boomed in an even louder voice,
"It's like I said. One minute she was doing recon, the next gone."
"Where?" Dick asked
"The Caribbean. We got information that the Injustice League had a secret base located there. We sent Zatanna there to check it out" Alfred stood by the door as Bruce grabbed his jacket from him. He slipped his arms into his coat, his biceps fitting tightly into the material. Dick and Alfred followed him out of the parlor and towards the front door.
"So you just send her into the field all by herself?" Dick said angrily.
"We weren't sure the island was really a base or not, however it did have some sort of magical vibe coming from it. We sent Zatanna because she's the only one who can use magic besides Doctor Fate." Bruce leaned against the doorframe.
"Then why not send Doctor Fate?"
"Zatanna said she could do it by herself. She's strong enough and a lot more experienced now. I thought she could do it herself too."
"Damn it Bruce! You should have had back up with her. If it was a base then she could've gotten herself killed!" "Dick, we only sent her for recon." He interrupted.
"She was to investigate the island and see if there was any threat. If there was she would report back as soon as possible." Bruce yanked open the door, letting a cool burst of spring wind engulf the foyer. "And I'm not stupid. Of course she had back up waiting for her, just in case something went wrong."
"Then why isn't she here?!" Dick was so tempted to strangle the man to death right now.
"Because once she stepped foot onto that island every tracker and microphone we put on her lost its signal. We had Martian Manhunter establish a psychic link with her and that also lost connection. Dick, once we found out we lost her we started searching every inch of that damn island. She was gone, like she vanished into thin air." Bruce started walking out of the door. He stopped in his tracks and spun around. Looking Dick straight in the eyes he said, "Look I know how much she meant to you, but she's part of the Justice League now and we will be the ones to look for her. She's our responsibility, not the Team's. As much as you want to go search for her yourself, I'm sorry."
Felt like it was time to start a new story, sorry the prologue is kind of short, it's midnight right now and I got school tomorrow. I hope you guys enjoy this one as much as "What are Friends for?". Feedback and reviews are greatly welcomed.
