WATCHTOWER, FEBRUARY
Nightwing sat at the desk in Batman's office, he rested his head in his hands. The door opened and Batman walked in.
"Damian, how long have you been in here." Dick asked his little brother. Damian jumped. "I'm awake!" He said
"Not long, just trying to find were Blood may have taken the team." Damian said.
"Ginny told me that you have been in the office four sixteen hours." Dick said peeling off his cowl.
"Tattle tale." Damian said. "Dami you need to go home." Dick said. "Dick I almost have it, I just don't have confirmation." Damian said.
"Where do you think." Dick asked, Damian looked at Dick seriously, "His old base, inside Mount St. Helens." Dick looked at Damian bewilderingly. "That's not possible, we blew it up after I.." Dick said. "Killed him."
"If he survived, who's to say his fortress didn't?" Damian said. "Take the Titans there, only to investigate. If you find anything, call for back up." Batman said sitting at his desk. Damian nodded, strapping his batons to his back, and putting on his bird shaped domino mask, he walked out the door.
H.I.V.E. Headquarters, Mount St. Helens, 96 miles south of Seattle
"So do you like trail mix?" Brendon asked the Dee Dee twins, neither of them answered. Micheal spoke, "I like trail mix."
"Me too, I't so mixy." Brendon said, the two boys started laughing. The villain twins rolled their eyes, and mocked the two. Who kept quipping at them. As this was happening Kathrine took a batarang out from her belt and cut the leather straps holding her. She quietly jumped down from the table and dashed to the computer. She then found the inhibitor collar switch, she then turned the boy's collars off. She then turned to Brendon, without the Dee Dees knowing she told him in hand signals to viberate out of the restraint. He smiled and did so. Dee Dee didn't see it coming, as he phased right through the straps and punched the twin on the right in the temple.
Time seemed to slow for a minute. But not for the speedster. "Too slow." He said to the other Dee Dee twin who was kicking at him, he grabbed her leg and moved it. And took the one he already punched and put her stomach right in front of her sister's foot. He then picked up a chair and put it on top of the kicking twin's head.
Time then went back to normal and a quick crack of lightning flickered in the room. As the kicking twin side kicked her sister in the stomach and a chair fell on top of her. With the twins knocked out Kat ran over to Micheal and cut his restraint. He jumped down and looked at his teammates as he readjusted his mask.
"What now?" He asked. "Now we run." Kathrine said. Brendon smirked.
"Got that covered. I'll scout ahead." Red Streak said snapping his goggles over his eyes, and ran out the door and a loud sonic boom echoed in the room along with multiple cracks of lightning. "Brendon wait!" Micheal said. "He's probably on the other side of the building by now." Shadow said. "Roulette, can you make these two believe we are still prisoner?"
"I guess, I haven't trained long term effects yet." He said, then he telepathically implanted a image of the team captive in the twins minds. "We got two minutes before they wake." He said.
Brendon ran down almost every hall of the facility. In a door and back out, trying to find the rest of the team. Then he came to a room. "Wonder Boy." He whispered to himself as he just saw the African teen in a cage. "Amazon Girl, and Surge. That's just one missing. I'd call in Ginny, but no comm signal, guess we're doing this old school."
He ran in, a blast of ice hit his shoulder, but he ran towards the cold girl. Time slowed down as he approached. He then slammed his should into her sternum. Snowstorm was launched across the room when Red Streak hit her in the chest with his shoulder. She hit the wall and fell on the floor. Poison stood to attention she went to punch him, he moved to the left and she missed and Brendon slipped his foot in front of her legs, before she fell on the floor he grabbed her and punched her in the stomach. He picked up the collar and cage remote. He flicked off the collars and cages. "Where are the others?" Rupert asked Brendon as they rushed to help a barley conscious Amazon Girl to stand up. "Kat and Micheal are down the East hall away and I have no clue where Abby is, and we have no comm signal here so we can't call Ginny." Brendon said, wrapping one of Yesenia's arms around his shoulder. "You left them." Rupert said. "I was scouting ahead." Brendon started, "And then I found you." Rupert was still weary of the situation. "I took a look of this bases blueprints, it has nine levels, Abby could be on any of the of the other eight." Brendon said, carrying Amazon out of the room with Wonder Boy and Surge following behind.
