Yeah, I own only Nighthunter and Nyx Grayson, anything else is not mine and belongs to someone else.


Nighthunter grabbed his wrist and led him down the halls, not really giving him much choice, her grip was like iron and he was pretty sure that she was cutting off circulation to his hand, also, how could he say no to that face, he was pretty sure she had superpowers since she had just killed someone and he was following her.

She dragged him to a large room and sat down at one of the tables a few kids were chattering at other tables, all that were talking to each other looked related, like there were little clans and they were all rivals.

"Not a lot of Mini-me's here are there?"

"No, I'm the only one they made from you, lunch should be here soon, it tastes like cat poop but it's good for you"

As if on command, a bowl filled with little grey cubes grew from the table, okay, Dick was pretty sure he didn't want to eat anything that grows from a table in three seconds.

Nighthunter glared at him before saying

"Eat it so you can have your strength, I've got something real special for tonight"

He glared but still ate the… whatever it was, it didn't taste like cat poop (yes, he knows what cat poop tastes like) but it didn't taste good.

Nyx smiled and ate her own, finishing in two minutes flat, Dick raised an eyebrow

"Fast."

"Do you hate me for killing that boy?"

"A little, if we get out of here I'm going to train you not to kill"

"That a promise or a threat?"

"A little bit of both"

He finished and managed not to barf, it wasn't poison but now that he thought of it, it really did taste like poop, maybe not cat poop but poop nonetheless.


"So, where do you think he is?"

Red Hood looked at Jaime, who had asked the question

"Well, I'm narrowing it down but so far there are eighty possible places"

"Eighty?"

"I said I'm narrowing it down"

The red masked boy continued typing and hacking surveillence cameras all over the world, Batgirl looked at Robin

"You still think Red is on our side?"

"You saw the shapes of Wing's cells, they were plants, unless he somehow exchanged the body"

"Yeah, Jay might be insane but he still respects Nightwing enough not to disturb his body"

"Hood was jealous of Nightwing since he became Robin"

"Not to this point, unless this is a big plot to get back at Batman"

Tim nodded, he replied

"Red Hood did say that Batman wwasn't ever there for him, maybe he's just trying to recreate the feeling? I mean, if Batman wasn't gone then he might have been able to save Wing, Bats'll feel guilty about it, probably more then when Todd died"

"Remember, he's still alive, don't ever doubt it"

Barbara walked away, Robin looked down, Batgirl never gave up, so she wasn't going to just believe that Nightwing was dead and take the Teams' word for it, she was going to explore any possibility that he was still alive.

"So, Lady Firecrotch still being stubborn?"

Robin jumped and looked up to see Jason in front of him, smirking

"Yes, do you need help?"

"Sure, Sir Hugsalot"

Robin scowled at the elder raven, Red Hood smiled and went back to the holographic computer, Robin followed and started eliminating possible spots on the glowing map between them.

After a while Batgirl joined in, the rest of the Team watched the batkids work, they didn't want to mess up the search.

Cassie twirled her thumbs and glanced around, she was scared, mostly scared that Red was lying and the their leader really was dead, there wasn't a back-up for this, no-one could plan for this, who would lead them, Robin was trainging for it but he wasn't ready, the mentors were all off planet, who would save them from collapsing now?

Suddenly, Red Hood said

"Got it down to three locations, we can split up and look for him"

Batgirl poked his ribs

"Hey, you're not the leader here"

"Who is?"

No-one replied, Jason nodded

"That's what I thought"


A few hours later (I've noticed that the Team has amazing patience)

"Dumb"

"What?"

"Do you really think this is the kind of place that bad guys would stash Nightwing?"

"It's not where I would put him but I'm not a criminal"

Robin and Jaime were watching the park construction site, there was just a big hole in the ground, Gar glanced at them

"You think Hood sent us here because we're the weakest and this is the most unlikely place?"

"Most likely, if Nightwing was taken before Red Hood killed his clone then the bad guys must be good"

Jaime nodded, Robin rolled over and glanced at the green parrot next to him

"No-one's come out yet so I suppose that we can head in, Blue, any dangerous readings?"

"Nada, it's just a hole"

They got out of their hiding spot and walked slowly into the crevace, well, slowly until Blue Beetle's stupid metal boot slid on a piece of metal that was conveniently sticking out, they all fell to the bottom in a dusty heap.

"Stealth and covert are not in your dictionairy are they?"

Robin commented while standing up, completely unruffled by their fall. Gar giggled, just a little.


Batgirl looked up at Superboy

"See anything?"

"No, there's nothing"

Red Hood sighed

"Let's go then"

They stealthly went to the dome-shaped greenhouse, it was empty, Jason was about to swear but Batgirl slapped the back of his helmet, shushing him.


Miss Martian, Wonder Girl and Bumblebee sat there, watching the white egg-shaped object, it didn't do anything the green vines and moss that covered it showed that it hadn't been touched in a while, Karen said

"Looks like the place"

"Yep, we should check first, just in case it's a false alarm and there's just a big egg-shaped thingy in the middle of a jungle"

Cassie smiled sheepishly, it was a really lame excuse, she wanted to get in there and get their leader out, not wait for backup.

Megan looked around and put her hand to her temple, her eyes glowed breifly before she said

"There's a lot of people in there, also a lot of telepathic interference, I can't tell one mind from the other, Nightwing could be anywhere"

"Let's go and find him then!"

Cassie jumped up despite her teammate's protests, she flew through the wall, well, tried to. She sunk into it like it was made of rubber and was bounced out.

Wonder Girl smiled up at M'gann, who smirked, putting her hand to her commlink

"Miss Martian to Team, rendez-vous at my location, we found something… a huge bouncy egg"


Author's Note: Is this okay? I'm hoping that people can review so I can know if this really sucks or if it's just me.

Don't get upset at me for making this horrible, review just in case so I won't be worse.
