A/N Thanks to all who reviewed, and, as I'm sure you could tell, no, Robin isn't dead. Anyways, sorry for taking so long to update, please enjoy!

Chapter 3

When he arrived at the spot the GPS tracker said he was, however, what he saw caused him to think only one word, and turn all his optimistic thoughts into negative thoughts.

No.

When Wally returned with the utility belt, and not Robin, aat first everyone assumed that Robin had fought Wally, and had done a 'Batman', but it became abundantly clear that Robin had ditched the utility belt in an attempt to ensure that he didn't return to the manor, giving them a false trail.

Batman gave them a list of things Robin might do, before sending the Team and League out into the city. In the morning, the Team had to go to school, but everyone had to report to Batman about what had happened during the search. Artemis was first.

"I didn't find him, just like the old man said." Artemis said.

"Old man?" Batman asked, wondering if Robin had made himself appear as an old man.

"Yeah, he was wearing ratty clothes, and he was covered in dirt and grime." Artemis said, and she shuddered. "He told me there were a million boys out there fitting Robin's description, and that I wouldn't find him."

"Tell me everything you remember." Batman ordered.

"Well, when I approached him, he ranted about having 'nothing left', and me mentioned children and grandchildren. He seemed to think I was there to hurt him or something." Artemis said. "If I'd thought he'd been lying, I would've attacked him."

"Could you see his eye color?" Batman said.

"He was blind." Artemis said. "I could tell from the way he kept tilting his head as though trying to figure out who I was and where I was."

"So nothing that made him stand out?" Batman asked.

"One thing." Artemis said. "He seemed to have some sort of grudge against everyone alive." Batman nodded. "That, and being right about not finding Robin."

"Alright, go. Send Wally in." Artemis nodded, before leaving.

Later Batman was going through all the information he was given, and realized it was odd Artemis was the only person to see the old man, even though Wally was working in the general area as well. He brought up security cameras, and looked for him, and saw the Flash save him from running into a car.

"Hey! What was dat fo'?" He read his lips, and Barry, with his back to the camera, said something in reply. "There was a car there? Why'd ya let me step in front of it?" Barry said something selse. "Thank ya, I guess. Shoo now." He waved his hands in Barry's general vacinity. With a sigh, Barry took off, and the old man glanced around, before tilting his head, listening for more cars.

Batman clicked on another camera, deciding there was nothing he could do about the ungrateful old man, and focused on looking for his son.

Beep! He heard an alarm on the Batcomputer, and he clicked on it, before a small smile found it's way to his face. Richard had grabbed clothes with trackers on them, and one of them was telling him that it was within a hundred feet of the main Wayne Enterprises building.

He stood, deciding there was no way that he was going to allow anyone else to check this out, climbed into the Batmobile, and took off. Within minutes, he was at his destination.

He watched the kid, and quickly decided that he didn't walk like Dick, nor he he have the same easygoing attitude. The chances that the kid wearing the clothes being Dick was getting lower by the second, so he decided to do the one true test to determine weither or not this was his son.

He dropped down right in front of him. The boy jumped back, unable to speak, fear shining through his brown eyes, and Batman turned to go, knowing that this wasn't Dick, before an idea entered his mind.

"Where did you get those clothes?" He asked.

"A- a guy." Batman turned around, surprised at his bravery.

"Did you get his name?" Batman asked, and the kid shook his head, and Batman knew he was lying, although he admired the kids bravery. "I can tell you're lying to me. I want a name."

"My names Jason Todd." Batman was honestly surprised the kid- Jason- was still protecting the kid who'd given him the clothes- probably Dick- and was considering training him, despite his background.

"No." Batman said. "Listen up, Jason. I want the name of the guy who gave you these clothes. Now." He narrowed his eyes, and the boy firmly kept his mouth shut for a few more seconds.

"Dick West." Jason held up his hands in surrender, eyes closed tight. "Dick West, 'e said his name was Dick West. Please don't kill me!" Batman shot his grappling hook into the wall, and was soon gone, but Superman was there seconds later.

"Batman doesn't kill." He said, before continuing. "And neither do I. The name he gave you was probably an alias, but thank you for giving us a name."

"What'd 'e do?" Jason asked, but Superman was already gone, and Batman had a name.

"Batman to everyone." He said. "Robin gave at least one pair of his civvies to Jason Todd under the alias Dick West. If you see this Dick West, bring him to the Batcave, do you understand?"

"Yeah." Everyone replied as Batman climbed back into the Batmobile, where he noticed Robin's handwriting. I'm sorry Bruce. And a tear fell from each eye as Batman drove home.
