A/N so new update, the result of the poll was Alice, try and work out what you were voting about. It is pretty obvious when you think about it.

Also a huge huge thank you to the final person who voted for Alice, because you are the reason this chapter is up, so is everyone else who took the 10 to 20 seconds needed to vote.

So, i am really tired but managed to get this chapter out, so i would really appreciate the feedback for this and since this story is almost at the end I would like your feedback, about the entire story.
So on with the story...


Alice's pov

Alice cautiously turned around but could only see people transfixed by the film even though it had just started. Shaking off the cold feeling that had come over her she turned back to the film and tried to enjoy it.

She did, but the feeling never went away. Lizzie and Alice nudged each other at funny parts which was quite a lot. No doubt they would wake up with a bruise the next morning.

Once the film had finished Lizzie and Jess parted ways. While waiting for her dad or Roger to come pick her up, someone crept up behind her.

Before she could even scream for help or even acknowledge what was happening a gloved hand covered Alice's mouth and dragged her away. Alice struggled but something was injected in her arm and she immediately went limp.

Roger saw this and his first reaction was to call Jess.

Jess's pov

At the pizza place, the group of 5 were chatting and laughing, eating their favourite pizzas. Since Jess and Dick's first date they had come here more and more and were now considered regulars with their own usual.

The group were in the middle of laughing at a joke James had told when Jess's phone rang. She quickly answered it and her once happy face turned to a face of hate and yet worried at the same time.

"Hello?….. Roger what is it?... No, how could this happen?... Alright, I'll be right over, Bye," Jess ended the phone call leaving her boyfriend and best friends bewildered.
"Jess, is everything alright?" Jenna asked her best friend.
"Yes, just peachy, I've got to go,"

Jess gathered up her things and quickly left. Dick wasn't very far behind.

"Jess, what's happened? What's the matter?" Dick ran round the front of Jess and put his hands on her shoulders.
"It's Alice, Glooms got her. This is all Batman's fault,"
"Jess, how is Gloom kidnapping your sister again his fault,"
"Oh, I don't know, maybe when he had the chance all those years ago he should've caught him and saved my mother instead,"
"But then you would all be dead,"
"What do you mean?"
"There were bombs hidden around the city, Gloom would've set them off and the one where your mother was if Batman tried to get him,"
"So?"
"So, by letting your mother die he saved yours, Alice's, your dad's, Rogers and hundreds more innocent people's lives,"

Jess let this new piece of information sink in. Dick pulled her into a hug and she cried into his shoulder. He manoeuvred round to her side without her head leaving his shoulder and slowly he guided her to the nearest zeta tube.

When they arrived at the cave, Dick guided Jess to her room, he had put on his shades and left Jess to come to terms with the news. In her room she calmed down a bit and decided to come up with a plan to get her sister back and stop gloom once and for all.

Nightwing's pov

Even though he was in civvies, Nightwing called the entire team together to discuss what they were going to do.

"Nightwing, you're back early I didn't expect to see you until tonight,"
"Well, something came up rob,"
"And that would be something to do with Jess and Alice? Don't deny it, I saw you arrive with Jess," Impulse put in.

Nightwing sat down and sighed, putting his head in his hands.
"It is to do with Alice, Glooms got her," Collective gasps echoed throughout the room.

"How?" Conner asked.
"Outside the cinema, she was waiting and she was captured, sedated,"
"Well how are we going to get her back before that crazy psychopath does something to her, maybe kill her," Impulse said defiantly.
"Yes, but how?"

Through this second part of the conversation Jess had arrived at the door, watching in silence unnoticed. She decided to join the conversation when this question was asked.

"I have a plan," Nightwing was shocked to see her there, considering her earlier state.
"Jess, what are you doing here? You have a plan?"
"Well, you can guess by my earlier statement that I have a plan and that is the reason why I am here, in this room. If you want to know why I am here on this earth you might want to take that up with my dad or even yours," Jess was trying to lighten the mood, what she was about to say was pretty big.

"Alright, just tell us the plan, stop being a smart alec,"
"So, this is what I've come up with,"

Alice's pov

Alice woke up disorientated, in a place she didn't know. The room was dark and she could feel her hands tied behind her with something in between in. Her neck was stiff and she knew she wasn't on the floor.

She recognised the texture and hardness underneath her. She was in the same chair she had been in when Gloom decided to experiment on her.

"Well, well, well, the princess awakes,"
