On the outskirts of Gotham, Wayne Manor, Night

Bruce Wayne walks through the lighten up halls of his home, he nonchalantly looks at paintings on walls depicting his family history, expecting to see the Wayne Family helping the people of Gotham, but as he looked at the first painting his eyes widen and was stopped dead in his tracks.

The painting of his ancestor Nathaniel Wayne is normally shows Nathaniel standing in a pristine fashion, but this time the painting was of Nathaniel burning a woman at the stake, while laughing.

Now Bruce was no fool, he knew of Nathaniel or Brother Malleus as he was called during the witch hunts and his horrific actions at the time, but only very few people shared this truth, he look at the painting next to Nathaniel's and the space that would usually be empty was filled with a painting of Thomas Wayne or Dr. Hurt as he would later be known, sacrificing people. As Bruce continued through the hall way he found more of the painting changed, like the painting and that's when he notices the other painting of the Wayne men, showing them either in deep pain or inflicting it on others.

"What is this?" said Bruce, a voice from behind responds, "Well our legacy, Bruce." Bruce turns around to see a man clad in black and silver armor with a silver owl mask covering his face, but Bruce knew who it was under there, it was Lincoln March, high ranking member of the secret society the Court of Owls and possibly Bruce's long-lost brother. He looked had Dick Grayson hostage with a knife to throat.

Lincoln then chuckles and says "Wayne's are either victims or devils." Lincoln puts the blade closer to Dick's throat, Lincoln continues to say "I'm tired of being the victim." Bruce tries to move, but something is keeping his body from moving, all he could do is see Dick's face as he begging for help, up until Lincoln slits his throat.

Bruce wakes up in his bedroom in a cold sweat, revealing that what he saw was but a dream.

"He's gone." Bruce said to himself, reminding himself that though Dick Grayson was killed by the Lincoln and Court, they were also gone, him and Damien made sure of that.

He quickly realizes that he was not alone in the room and says, "How long have you been watching me?" Bruce said to his uninvited guest hiding in shadows of his room.

The guest walks out of the shadows revealing it to be Batman. "Not long Father." Batman said in a calm voice.

"I just was surprised to see you in bed already." Said Batman as he walks towards his father. "I know you're not here just to say high. What's happened?" Bruce asks while getting out his bed and reaching for his cane.

"Koriand'r Grayson, it seems she been taken." Batman says with an only a small inkling of concern. Bruce's eyes widen, Bruce then asks "Mar'i, is she O.K?" Batman answers him with a "Yes. She's in the living room."

Living room

Mar'i is sitting on the couch playing with Alfred the Cat, but stops when she sees Bruce and Batman walk into them room. "Grampa!" Mar'I said in joy, she flies straight to Bruce arms hugging him. Bruce hug her, back smiles at her.

Mar'i let's go of Bruce and then flies away.

Bruce and Batman look at each other, knowing where she was going, they head into the main study.

Main Study

Bruce and Batman see Mar'i looking at the grandfather clock "Come on we need to get to the cave." Said Mar'i anxiously, trying to figure out how to activate the entrance to the cave. "Now what was time,was it 2:25 or is it 4:36?" Mar'i asked herself.

Bruce pulled her way from the clock, he then says "Mar'i calm down, just tell us what happened." Mar'i tries to calm and down and like Bruce said tell them what happened. "O.K…school just ended I was waiting for Mom to pick me off like usual, but she never showed up, I tried calling her, texting her, but nothing. Eventually I just flew home and…"

Batman interrupts her "You Flew." Mar'i looks at him annoyed ad says "Look, it would have taken an hour to get home, plus know saw me."

"Mar'i." Bruce said sternly. Mar'i focuses on the story and then continues "So when I got home, the whole pace was trashed, I looked for Mom everywhere, but she was gone and to make things worse I found..." Mar'i pauses for a moment. "It's O.K Mar'i just tell us what you found." Bruce said calmly. Mar'i looked at them both with tears in her eyes and says "I found a small puddle of blood and a J.L. communicator smashed up, lying next to it."

Bruce gives Mar'i a hug, knowing what she is going through. Batman looks at Mar'i with sympathy, like his father, understand what it's like losing someone close to him, with first Maya, members from his Titans team, Cassandra, and the Dick Grayson, it was the very reason he left Wayne Manor and started going solo.

"O.K Father, when do we start?" Said Batman, Bruce looked at him and responds "Mar'i and…" Mar'i then interrupts him "Nightstar, call me by my superhero name." Bruce smiles at her and continues "Nightstar and you will go to her house, get a blood sample and look for clues to see if we can get some clear signs on who did this." Batman agrees and then asks "You coming?"

Before Bruce could answer, all three of them hear a winding sound, they all turn to see that grandfather clocks hand are moving at a quick rate until the little hand reaches 10 and the big hand hits 47, the grandfather clock opens to the entrance to the cave,.

Batman takes out his batarangs, Mar'i charges up an attack, while Bruce takes his cane, revealing a sword inside.

They all walk toward the entrance.

Batcave

As they walk down to the cave Mar'i in silence looks at it with ah, this was her first time being in the cave, even though her father was once Batman, he and her mother wanted to wait until she was older to see it.

The only reason she knew about the entrance was because she spied on her father when he talking about possibly changing the time.

As they went through the cave they noticed a series of lights, whoever this is was still in the cave.

They eventually reach the center of the cave as the intruder is a man going through the computer, loopking at files on Blüdhaven, Mar'is and Korys old home before Dicks passing.

"We don't have time for a fight. "Said the man, Bruce and Batmans eyes widen, recognizing the voice, they put their weapons down.

The man then says in a calm fashion "Mar'I don't worry I'm gonna help you."

He the turn to face them them, revealing that the man had no face or at least appeared to have no face.

He wore a black suit, black tie, hat, and gloves, with a grey under shirt, he was Caucasian with black hair. Bruce and Batman were not expecting to see Tim Drake, the third Robin and Red Robin, but now he was The Question.

A/N So here is chapter 2, hoped you liked it. I would like to give credit to my friend jankmaster98, who through in the idea for Tim Drake. As for the third chapter that will be a while till that is done, but I will try to get it done around next month. Next chapter will dive a little deeper in what happened in the war and what the questions (No pun intended.) will be answered when it comes to Starfires disappearance.
