Batman sat impatiently in a room in the medical bay as Diana was treating the wound around his torso. Most of the Leaguers had suffered only minor injuries, but Arthur and J'onn had to be taken to the medical unit to be treated for severe burns. If Flash hadn't had found them when he did, the League would be missing two members. Bruce tapped his gloved fingers on the table. He told her he was fine, but she refused to let him leave the room until she treated his burn. Knowing that his girlfriend always kept her word, he agreed. Bruce didn't even notice that she was finished until she cleared her throat and stood up in front of him. He looked up at her.

"Yes?"

"I'm finished." Diana said, putting the supplies back in the first aid kit.

"So can I go now, nurse?" Bruce asked, standing up.

"Just one more thing." she said, stepping closer to him.

"Well, wha-" he was cut off by Diana kissing him on the lips and wrapping her arms around his neck. He kissed her back and slowly put his arms around her tiny waist. Since both of them are powerful heroes and some of the founders, their schedules were always packed and they never had time for each other. They savored every moment of the kiss until Diana ended it.

"Bruce, I'm worried about Richard and the others. Have you ever seen Joker do things this sinister?" she asked, sitting on the bed.

"Sadly, I have, but this Blackout, whoever he is, seems to always be one step ahead of us."

"He must be the brains of the operation." Diana said.

"It's the only possible explanation. We need to find out more information on Blackout." he said, turning on his wrist computer. He typed in the name Blackout in the police database and immediately got a laundry list of hits. The two heroes looked at the screen before staring at each other. Batman pulled out his communicator from his utility belt.

"Batman to all Leaguers. Report to the conference room immediately. Repeat, report of the conference room for immediately."

He hung up before anybody could protest or ask any questions. Then the couple headed over to the conference room. They entered the room and all eyes were on them. Superman was the first to speak up.

"Bruce, what's going on?" he asked.

"I found out something about Blackout."

"Really? What have you found?" Aquaman asked, hoping that it would help find Kaldur sooner.

"It turns out that Blackout has a long history of violence."

"Like what?" Flash asked.

"Theft, assault, kidnapping, rape, and murder." he explained.

The entire League stared at him.

"Blackout is much more dangerous than we thought." John Stewart said.

"And it gets worse."

"How could it possibly get worse?" Green Arrow asked, rubbing his temples.

"All of his victims were children ranging from ages 6-16 and none of them are alive."

Everyone in the room gasped and stared at Batman as the reality of the situation slowly sank in.

"Batman, does this mean what I think it means?" Zatara asked.

"Yes, if the team is still alive, they won't be for long."

The room went silent and sadness swept over everybody. Suddenly the computer turned on by itself and a video feed popped up. It showed Blackout on the screen standing next to M'Gann. She was half naked and had bruises and bleeding wounds all over her body. Her ankle was chained to a nearby pipe and she had tears running down her face. J'onn stood up and stared at the screen in disbelief.

"Hello J'onn. You have a very pretty niece. She's much prettier than any of the other girls I've been with." Blackout said, rubbing her cheek.

"What have you done to her?!" J'onn yelled.

"I just played a little game with her. Now, you all can see the end of it."

Blackout got on top of the teenager and kissed her hard on the lips. She tried to fight him, but he was much stronger than her and pinned her wrists above her head easily. He sat up and started rubbing her bottom lip with his thumb while his other hand started tracing the outline of her bra. She screamed through her gag, but he slapped her into silence.

"Get off of her!" J'onn yelled, as he felt his heart aching.

Blackout looked up at the screen and stood up off the girl.

"We will find you." Batman said, glaring at him.

"If you were going to find me, than why haven't you?" he asked.

He chuckled a little as he heard no response.

"I thought so. So anyway, J'onn I want to ask you a question."

"What?" he asked, through gritted teeth.

"How much do you love your niece?"

"More than anything on this planet."

"What would you do to protect her?" Blackout asked.

"I would do anything."

"Hummm. Interesting." he said, stroking his chin.

"Cut the crap and tell us what you want!" Black Canary said, getting annoyed.

"I'll make a deal with you J'onn and only you."

"I am listening."

"I'll let your niece go and drop her off at a location in Star City. In order for me to do this, you have to do something for me."

"Like?"

"I want you to bring me Superman's head."

Please review and I'll let torture Joker.

Joker: Hey! I never agreed to that!

Me: Quiet you! Please review! =)
