Disclaimer- . . . I only want to own the first season. The second season can go rot in a hole. (How can they make AQUALAD EVIL? . . . Obviously, I had a problem with that . . . )

So I'm back with some good news: school ends on the 23rd! XD So instead of updating on weekends, I'll try to update like every other day. (NO PROMISES!) Anyway, I wrote that one shot about Spitfire (I loved all the reviews ^-^) so if you're looking for a bittersweet one shot about those two, look me up. Oh and seeing as everyone seems to want happy ending for this fanfic (there were some people who wanted a sad or a bittersweet one), I . . . Ah, who am I kidding? I'm actually going to write three different endings, one being happy, one being bittersweet and one sad. So everyone will get the ending they wanted. ^-^ (Yes, that means on the last day of this fanfic, I'm going to publish THREE chapters at the same time, all of them being alternate endings.)

Note- Yeah, Batman is kind of OOC (out of character) because of Robin's disappearance. It's really bothering him . . . (In other words, Bats is being emotional. :p)

Note 2- Oh and I don't know much about Black Canary so if I decide to give her an apartment building that's in a certain city, it should be okay.

Chapter 9

"Wally, what do you want?" Batman said roughly, his emotional pain taking its toll on him.

Wally shuffled his feet and stared at Batman, barking a laugh. "Bats, there are a lot of things I want. Like my best friend. But somehow, he's disappeared into thin air!"

Batman hid his flinch, covering it up with a glare. "Wally, you've got five-"

"Ah, I don't have the TIME to listen to your speech about how you're going to kill me if I don't shut up! The deal is that we have a way of finding Robin if you're willingly to not be so . . . you," Wally nearly shouted, the past few hours causing his emotions to snap.

" . . . How?" Batman asked quietly with his face emotionless, looking like the old Batman.

Wally rubbed the back of his neck, mentally preparing himself for the yelling that would surely ensue when he told Batman how. " . . . If M'gann touches the letter Robin left, she'll be able to read whatever he was thinking about when he wrote it and when he left it . . . She might even be able to tell us where he went."

_Batman's POV_

When Wally stopped talking, Batman turned and headed towards the living room in Mount Justice which was just down the hall. He didn't hear Wally's concern questions that were directed at him. All Batman could hear was his own thoughts.

Will it work? What if it doesn't? What if she only learns about why Dick left? What if she learns of my secret identity? And Dick's? . . . No, that doesn't matter. They were bound to learn them eventually. I don't think Dick would be able to lie to them much longer.

. . . But will this work? What if Dick took precautions and made sure to empty his mind before touching the letter? . . .But what if he didn't?

Batman's heart swelled with hope and dread at that thought. If he didn't . . . If they could find him . . . Would they learn that Robin HADN'T lied in the letter? Would they find a changed Robin? Would they find him alive?

No! I can't afford to think like this! If I do . . . I'll go insane.

Shoving his emotions and thoughts aside, Batman walked into the living room and stared down at the teens who were sitting down.

"Are you sure?" Batman asked M'gann, his covered eyes locked on her face.

M'gann nodded. "I'm positive."

"Can you do it now?" Batman asked her, his heart steeling itself for her answer.

"Yep."

"Good because I have the letter with me."

_Black Canary's POV_

Dinah was currently in her car, jeans covering the bruises she had gotten from a surprise attack on her legs. Even though she was driving, she was very much lost in thought . . .

Batman is acting so . . . human. It's actually quite scary. I mean, sure it's good to know he does have a heart under all that cold armor but to know that he could emotionally HURT is . . . mind-blowing. Not in a good way though. More like when you realize that your parents are eventually going to die and you're going to have learn how deal with your loss. Or when you find out that fairy tales aren't real and that reality is so much harsher. It's so . . . sad.

Dinah sniffed gently and wiped a tear from her eye with a finger. She couldn't help but want to cry for Batman, the one who would probably never let himself go that much . . .

Yet. She finished mentally, grimacing. If they didn't find Robin soon . . . Batman might actually lose it and CRY which was something that no one could handle. Well, maybe everyone except Robin himself.

Oh, Robin. Where are you? Why did you do this to Batman . . . to Young Justice . . . to the Justice League? What could have driven you to leave? Did we do something to upset you? Did we do something wrong?

Why, Robin? Why?

A/N- The chapter ended up being longer than planned . . . Anyway, anyone like Dinah's part? I thought you guys needed to see how she (and the league) are seeing this. Please review! This was published on 5-18-12 with the length of 1,018 words. (I'm in the middle of the newest chapters for "Tainted Blood" and "The Taken Path".)
