Mount Justice: October 5
"Anything?"
Robin looked up at Artemis who just came back from her search and shook his head. It was a half hour ago when M'gann notified the rest of the team that Alex was missing. So they began the search for Alex in Happy Harbor and all the other cities, by then the rest of the team had arrived to the cave and still no sight of her.
"Maybe she turned off her com link and cell phone." suggested M'gann, trying to hide her worry.
Wally shook his head. "Even if she turned it off, we still be able to track it, but this is weird. The com links were made by the Justice League that can reach about anywhere."
"Unless someone is blocking the signal." added Artemis.
"It's been a half hour and we have yet to locate Alex, soon Black Canary will arrive and I feel that if she comes before we locate Alex we may have to inform the League." stated Kaldur.
"Don't know what they can do, if we can't find her they won't be able to! We have been doing everything they would have done!" snapped Artemis.
"Artemis relax." said Robin.
Artemis leaned against the wall. "Sorry it's just that, I don't…I can't stand the fact that something might have happened to her."
M'gann let out a small sob as Wally leaned against the table (with his good arm) Robin was working on.
"We have to find her." whispered Wally.
Robin sighed. "I know" he looked over to Kaldur. "But calling the League is our last option now."
Kaldur looked at Robin and gave him a nod.
Unknown Location: October 5
When Alex crawled out of the air vent she was met by pitch black.
"Great" she groaned as she squirmed out of the vent and tried to find her way again around the room while trying to keep her balance. Suddenly she lost her footing and hit something cold and wet. She backed away and began to search for the wall again.
Finally Alex found something that appeared to be a light switch, she flicked the switch on and covered her mouth to conceal her scream.
Standing in front of her were giant ice blocks with people inside.
Mount Justice: October 5
Robin started to type into the computer. "I think I might know what happened to Alex."
He was on the computer and pulled up the case report of the sixteen missing girls.
"Hey, I remember this, we all talked about this with Alex." announced M'gann.
"Yeah, this was that report about those girls that were kidnapped and-….oh no." gasped Wally.
"Sixteen girls that all look like Alex." whispered Artemis.
Robin nodded.
"Yep, no doubt in my mind Alex was kidnapped by the same person that took these girls."
Unknown Location: October 5
Alex held back a surprised scream that was now caught in her throat. Even in her blurred vision she could still make out what was standing in front of her. She recognized the faces of the girls from the news, these were the sixteen missing girls that the Justice League was working to find. And since Alex was here that meant….
She was there next victim.
She still took one step closer to the five feet block of ice cubes containing human girls, there were ten of them and they all had black hair and blue eyes. She knew that because their eyes were wide open staring at her. She looked down and noticed that connected to the ice cubes were computers showing each heart rate of the girls
So they weren't dead, just frozen somehow. Alex glanced around the room, where were the other girls? Alex thought there were sixteen girls missing but there were only six here. She turned around to the door in front of her, reaching forward she felt that it was unlocked. Slowly she opened the door to a small crack just to look through; on the other end was a dark empty hallway. She opened the door all the way and stepped out; she took a glance at the room behind her.
She knew she couldn't stay here, she had to find a way out, and also she needed to find the other girls. So she closed the door and made her way down the empty dark hallway. With each step she took it made a small tapping sound that echoed, and with her leaning against the wall for support, breathing harsh she figured she was making a lot of noise. But to Alex's surprise no one came.
The halls were dark but she was able to see at one of the halls a door cracked open with a light glowing inside. Reaching the door she slowly opened it to find no one inside here as well, she took a step in.
Inside was a lab with test tubes, goggles, microscopes, and other stuff that Alex would see in her science class. Then there was knifes and drills that looked like it was for human dissection. They Alex saw that reminded her of those "supposed to be" scary movies that Wally shows her.
She was almost about to leave the room when she saw a phone sitting on the desk in front of her. She walked over to it, it was a simple phone that you see in any work office. She picked up the receiver and placed to her ear. It made a beeping noise to let Alex know it was still working.
It seemed almost too easy to pick up the phone and call for help but at the same time Alex was desperate. There was a chance that her call wouldn't even go through but she had at least give it a try.
So she picked the phone up and dialed the first number that came to her.
Mount Justice: October 5
In the end (to Robin's annoyance) the League had figured out what was going on. Sort of.
"Okay let me see if I can get this right." said Superman. "Supergirl has been kidnapped."
"Yep" replied Robin in a demeanor.
"And the people that kidnapped her are the same ones behind the kidnaps of the 16 missing girls." asked Black Canary.
"That's right." said M'gann.
The Justice League all looked at each other before turning to the team.
Flash scratched the back of his head. "It's not like we don't believe you kids, it's just that….."
"You don't really have anything besides a theory." stated Green Arrow.
"It's more than a theory!" snapped Wally.
"Didn't the Justice League have a theory that Happy Harbor City was going to be the next destination for targeting girls?" pointed out Artemis.
Batman shot a glare over to Robin.
"Okay I might have filled them in a little bit on the case." admitted Robin. "But I really was just trying to give Alex a heads up."
"Whether or not Alex was abducted by the same kidnappers makes no difference. She is missing and we must find her." stated Martian Manhunter.
Kaldur nodded his head.
"Agreed" said Black Canary.
"This is ridiculous, Supergirl is probably hiding somewhere and doesn't want to be found. She's probably upset because I scolded her yesterday." said Superman.
Artemis turned to glare at Superman finally losing her patience with him.
"Okay I had enough!" she shouted. "Why is he here" she pointed a finger to Superman.
"Artemis" warned Green Arrow.
"No, I get why you are all here because you're mentors to this team, but why he, is here I have no idea!" yelled Artemis.
"I have a right-"
"No, no you do not! You were the last one to see her before she disappeared so it's your fault she's gone!" yelled Artemis.
Superman was taken back. "How is it my-"
"You probably said something awful to her like the ass you are and got her all upset, which caused her to run off and get kidnapped!" shouted Artemis.
Kaldur placed a hand on Artemis shoulder to calm her down.
"It does not matter if you don't believe us or not, these are the facts." stated Kaldur.
During the whole time Batman was standing in the back, watching the young heroes and their mentor's argue.
Finally Superman turned to him with an extremely annoyed look on his face.
"Care to do something about this." he snapped.
Batman folded his arms. "You asking me to take care of the team or the teenage girl that you ignore unless to yell at."
Superman flinched; he should have known that Batman saw that, Batman see's everything.
M'gann turned to Batman "You have to believe us." she begged.
Batman turned his eyes away from Superman and turned too looked at the team. "Robin, bring up all the information on the sixteen missing girls and where Supergirl's last location." he ordered.
"Batman, you aren't really buying this are you?" asked Green Arrow.
Batman turned to his own teammates. "Alex is missing, we don't know for positive if her disappearance has anything to do with the recent disappearance of the girls, but standing around disagreeing will not find answers."
"Yeah but-" Green Arrow stopped and finally sighed. "Okay, let's find the kid."
Artemis smiled at her mentor and he returned the smile.
Robin pulled up the information and together the young heroes and their mentors started to work together. Superman in the background watched before turning around and walking to leave.
Robin and Artemis watched him leave.
"Should we really just let him go." she growled.
"First we find Alex, and then we deal with him." said Robin
Artemis nodded and went back to the others.
That's when Robin's cell phone rang.
Unknown location: October 5
Alex kept waiting for Robin to pick up.
"Alex?"
Alex's could feel her heart jump for joy. "Robin, its me." she said.
"Alex, man we were so worried about you, are you okay?"
"Yeah, for someone that has been drugged and kidnapped."
"Where are you?"
"I have no idea, but I found at least six of the missing girls from the news."
She leaned against the desk and caused something to fall off and hit the floor. When she bent down to see what it was, her heart stopped.
"Robin" called Alex
"Yeah"
"I know where I am now."
"Where?"
She picked up the pen that had fallen and read what was on it.
"Cadmus"
