Ring! Ring! Ring!
Damian glared at his phone and clicked it off, Dick had been trying to reach him for the past hour but Damian had instead gone to the manor to see what his brother wanted. He was too tired to pick up the phone and head to a different place in Gotham just because Robin had a bad feeling about something.
He opened the front door and it was surprisingly dark it didn't bother him but usually one light was on. He placed his car keys on the desk with a clack. He lifted his head and stared in to the dark. He felt like something was wrong. Then the lights turned on and Damian pulled out his gun.
There stood Ra`s al Ghul looking a content as ever, like he was in his own home.
"Damian," he nodded, "it`s nice of you to join us."
Damian smiled sarcastically, he took in his grandfather`s appearance, he looked younger than he did last time, he must have token another body as his victim.
"Thought you were locked up." He said glancing at the ninja`s advancing on him.
"Ah you know nothing can hold me for very long."
"Enough jokes why are you here!" he snapped. He was done working his way around things it only made it more complicated! Now he was going to get the strait truth, or someone was going home with a bullet in them.
"Damian you betrayed me," Ra`s breathed, "you could have been great, the little lab experiment that went rough for that you must pay." The was a hint of a growl in Ra`s al Ghul`s voice but other than that the man kept himself composed.
"I can wait till your wounds heal and then take your body as my own, I can continue to switch bodies till I break your spirit completely and you beg for the sweet release of death."
"Have you met me, I never break, never." He spat the last word with venom.
"Maybe the dead body of the boy wonder can persuade you." Ra`s smiled darkly.
"You won't lay one filthy finger on him!"
"Why do you sound so sure?" Ra`s laughed. The ninja`s shifted in amusement along with their master.
"You won't hurt anyone after I rip off your fingers and shove them up your-"
"Oh language dear boy." Damian turned around and his blood boiled "White ghost!"
"Yes, come with us Damian and you might actually have the chance to be the great leader you were made to be." White Ghost said sorrow lacing his voice.
"You almost seem sad to kill me." Red Hood said a bit confused by the emotion.
"I am you could have destroyed so much, built so much, it`s sad to see such a legacy die before it started." White Ghost shook his head.
Damian`s eyes caught a ninja getting to close and pulled the trigger on the man. Suddenly they all started to move in on him and he barely noticed the man in the rugged mask behind him till he turned and caught him on the face with some nasty toxin, he knew the second he breathed it he knew this man was Scarecrow. He read enough from the man`s profile to know he anything he saw wouldn't be real.
Damian started to get woozy and couldn't do a thing when a man threw something over his head knocking him out cold.

Robin looked around the hall there was blood, not a lot but enough to know that Damian was no long free. He had probably come here to do whatever and had been caught, but that didn't matter.
"Those ass holes!" Wally yelled looking around the room for anything that might be use full.
"Where could they have gone, Ra`s couldn't have gone to the mountains again could he?" Rocket asked worry lacing her voice, "Because I don't think the monks will be very happy to see us again."
"No," Aqualad said lowering his eyes in concentration, "He wouldn't be able to sneak that far with a knocked out body, he`ll be close, probably still in Gotham."
"Agreed," Rex nodded his teammate glanced at him, "Would Batman know any extra hide outs are?"
"Yes, but it's not that simple."
Robin turned around glad to see the dark knight when he needed him the most to find his missing brother. "What do you mean?" Wally said.
Robin lowered his gaze, "He means Ra`s is bound to have a backup plan, but what?"
Ra`s al Ghul was tedious and cunning, he would find a way to hurt everyone with one move. This was a man you really shouldn't mess with, but Robin had no other choice. He had to find Damian. This was the second time Damian had been captured by his own grandfather, would Ra`s live through this?
"I`ll give you all coordinates for the known locations of Ra`s al Ghul, there with be teams of two, no one will do anything if they find Damian, you`ll wait for back up understood?"
Everyone nodded knowing they couldn't really disobey the man a second time. Robin looked at Kid Flash and Wonder girl, "KF and Wonder girl take the north sector and bank out there, Me and Aqualad will head west to the more higher ground of Gotham, and Rex and Rocket go south we need to keep an eye on the docks to make sure Ra`s doesn't try anything, Zatanna and Artemis, you`ve got the east, low grounds be careful, Now that Arkam Asylum has no more prisoners its likely most of them went there." Robin said.
Every one nodded and he turned to Megan and Conner, "Search the skies we need to see If Ra`s has any surprises and If not the best we can do is hit him with an air attack, also a quick getaway."
Super-boy and Miss Martian nodded their understanding and left the mansion with the others, Robin turned to batman. Bruce nodded to him, "Good work Robin, I`ll be in the cave I want to get a satellite view of the mountains just to be sure he`s not there." Without another word Batman left the mansion and headed to the Cave.
Robin sighed and walked to where Aqualad was waiting for him, "Robin, don't let your emotions get in the way, we need you on this."
"I never let my emotions in the way…not ever." He said coldly, "Come on we can take the Bat mobile its faster than walking."
