What made her parents think that camping in Bludhaven was a good idea? What made her think it was a good idea to go along!? She really regretted going camping with them because she knew if she had just stayed home she wouldn't be here stuck with some crazy man. She covered herself with a thin blanket and bit her lip. She wasn't hurt, just really shaken up. Was this what it felt like to be kidnapped?

Obviously.

She sighed and stared at the plain white brick walls, she had been stuck in this small room for who knows how long. She'd lost track awhile ago or at least it felt like a while ago, she really couldn't keep track of time. And she really couldn't remember how she got here of course she knew she was kidnapped. But she didn't know how since all she could remember was going to sleep in the cabin she had been staying in, and then waking up here with a terrible headache and a terrifying man standing over her.

She looked down at her nails dry blood under them. She made sure to scratch the hell out of his gross face and he seemed pissed. But he didn't hurt her which she honestly found odd. He said something around the lines of her being too pretty to ruin. Evelyn shivered and looked up at the door when it opened and an unfamiliar man walked in. He was incredibly short, had a long face and an incredibly crooked nose. Why were criminals always so ugly? The man smiled and grabbed her by her hair, "Time to go to your new home," The man said starting to drag her out of the room and into the hall.

"Hey let me go! Ow, what?!" She screamed trying to get him to let go of her hair. And after a few seconds he let go and pushed her to the floor and another man came up to her with a baseball bat and before she could scream he hit her in the head.

"Shit I think I hit her too hard," The man with the bat said frowning.

"Eh as long as her insides are alright she'll sell for enough," The crooked nosed man said shrugging.


"This is a horrible idea," Roy said frowning, watching as Wally and Dick tossed another case of Mountain Dew into the shopping cart.

"Shh, this is a genius idea." Wally smiled grabbing another case, at the moment they were at Walmart raiding the soda isle and putting as much mountain Dew in the cart as they could. Why you may ask? Because it was Saturday and after a 'stressful' week, Wally and Dick decided to have a 'fun' weekend full of stupid shenanigans.

"You're both idiots," Roy grumbled.

"Don't be a killjoy Roy, you know you want to swim in mountain dew too." Dick smirked grabbing the last case of mountain dew left. He then stepped back and counted the cases, "Alright I doubt 15 cases is enough," He mumbled. "Wanna hit the other Walmart?"

"Hell yeah," Wally smiled giving Dick a hi-five.

"No this is enough." Roy rubbed his temples, why did he agree to driving these guys around today?! Oh yeah because he had to keep an eye on the two since whenever they hung out something always exploded.

"Fine we'll just buy all the marshmallows here then..." Wally then started to push the heavy cart to the isle with all the sugary stuff in it.

"What why!?" Roy hissed stopping Wally.

"So we can melt them and mix them into the mountain dew, duh," Dick replied appearing next to him with a bag of marshmallows in hand.

Roy scowled and grabbed the bag of marshmallows and tossed them aside, "No this is enough."

"But ROOOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYY," Wally whined like the mature teenager he was.

"No, this is enough."

"KillJoy," Wally frowned.

"Sor-" Roy was about to say but was cut off by the sound of someone dropping something heavy and they turned around and saw a man frantically picking up a bunch of cans. Roy sighed and turned back to Wally, "Sorry but that's a stupid idea...and Bruce will kill you both."

"Why would he do that?" Dick asked.

"I know you both are planning on doing this at the manor," Roy said pushing the cart to the checkout.

"Dangit, you ruin all the fun!" Wally said crossing his arms.

Roy just rolled his eyes and got in line at a checkout, of course only two where open and the lines were huge. So they'd be here awhile. Wally was silent and a small smile appeared on his face and he went to Dick and nudged him, "Wanna go find some snacks?"

Dick raised his eyebrows, "We ate alrea-'' He paused when he saw the look on his face. "Oh sure, hey Roy. Wally and I are going to find some snacks for tonight," Roy just sighed and the two took that as an okay and they walked away. And when they were out of sight Dick turned to Wally, "We're grabbing the marshmallows aren't we?"

"Yeah, we're gonna die tonight."

Dick laughed and walked to where the marshmallows were, "The worst that's gonna happen to me is I gotta go to another stupid party or something," He said grabbing as many bags of marsh mellows as he could.

"That's pretty much death," Wally said cringing, "Being around rich snobs."

"Rich snobs aren't that bad, on Monday I went to one. And there was just a creepy old guy..." Dick shuddered. "Didn't help that it was painfully boring there," He said scowling.

"Betcha 50 bucks he's a pedophile," Wally replied grabbing the last of the marshmallows.

Dick was about to reply but went silent and frowned, "Do you see that guy?" He whispered.

Wally raised his eyebrows and looked to where Dick was looking and saw a guy looking at the floor. "Uh..."

"That's the guy that dropped a bunch of cans when we were getting the mountain Dew..." Dick mumbled.

The man looked up and paled when he saw them looking at him and he scurried off, "Dude he looks like he got punched in the nose."

"Yeah..." Dick bit his lip, "Lets go Roy is probably getting annoyed that we left him in the line." Dick then walked to the front of the store and Wally followed after him.


"Why did Roy let us do this..." Wally looked at the mess they made in Dicks bathroom, marshmallow everywhere and the bathtub was full of mountain dew...and marshmallow. "HE'S SUPPOSED TO KEEP US OUT OF TROUBLE!"

"We done goofed," Dick said staring at the mess, "We done, diddly goofed."

"Alfred's gonna be so mad," Wally paled just thinking about Alfred's wrath.

"And Bruce will kill us..." Dick said biting his lip. Roy had warned them that this was a stupid idea, and well of course it ended in disaster. (Ah the joys of being young and dumb) "I'll go get the cleaning stuff...don't make the mess bigger."

"I can add this to the list of what not to do in a bathroom...right next to fireworks in the bathtub." Wally shook his head. Dick just sighed and went into the hall and started to make his way downstairs to where Alfred had all the cleaning stuff. He was honestly glad that Bruce and Alfred weren't home because that gave him time to get this mess cleaned up.

He walked down the stairs and froze when he heard a door slam shut. He narrowed his eyes and slowly made his way down the stairs being as quiet as he could. It sounded like it came from down here...not a good thing considering no one was down here but him. He scowled and walked into the kitchen and everything was normal in here. "Huh..." Maybe a window was just open and the wind made a door slam?

There was no one down here and he knew no one could get in here. Security was obviously the best...and who the hell would want to break into Wayne Manor? Well someone with a death wish. He just sighed and opened a closet door and grabbed a mop and some other cleaning supplies and made his way upstairs.

He really didn't want Bruce to see the mess they made...yikes.


He didn't feel right.

All weekend he had this creeping feeling that he was being watched. Like someone was following him everywhere he went. It got to the point where he'd check behind doors and curtains in every room he had gone into in the manor.

Although he felt the worst in his room. The moment he went into his room the hair on his arms stood up and he felt wrong. He felt like there was something just creeping on him, watching him from outside his window.

He couldn't even sleep.

Hence why he was currently trying to take a nap in study hall. But that wasn't really going to well, everyone was incredibly loud. And by everyone he meant a group of girls sitting behind him, it was really annoying and it wasn't really helping boost his mood.

He wanted to tell them to shut up really badly. But that would end terribly considering one of the girls was dating some 'badass' who really liked to slam his locker shut right when he was trying to get stuff out of it.

He'd always make fun of his name too.

HA you're named Dick. HA HA, I'm mature.

But it was obvious who the real dick was. And he secretly wished someday that 'bad ass' would break the law or something. Rot in juvie or something.

Oh well... In the meantime he should probably try and sleep for at least five minutes? He felt dead on his feet.

"Dick wake up!"

Dick sat up quickly half awake and rubbed his eyes, "Huh?" He then sighed and saw Barbara sitting in front of him a scowl on her face. "Five more minutes?"

She rolled her eyes, "You look dead inside..." She commented, placing a giant math textbook on his desk. He sunk down in his seat and groaned, he felt dead inside to be honest. He really had a shitty sleep. "Well do you wanna help me with my math homework...?" She questioned a hopeful smile on her face.

"Come on Babs," He whined, he was running on an hour of sleep. And he already had math today, he didn't really want to deal with even more math right now. His head was killing him, and he wanted nothing more than to curl up under a mountain of blankets and sleep.

"Please?" She asked, "You know i suck at this advanced stuff..."

"And you know I don't do homework for other people," He replied.

"Unless the other people threaten to shove you in the gym lockers," She said scowling.

He sighed, "That was one time..." Not really his proudest moment but he had no choice. Not like he could fight them or anything. He would probably win...but he'd in a ton of trouble from Bruce. So he had to play the weakling here...ugh.

"If i shove you in a locker would you do my homework?" Barbara asked an innocent smile on her face.

"I'd rather be dead then do your homework Babs," He grumbled standing up.

"Where are you going?" She asked frowning.

"Getting something to drink, i'll be back in a few," Came his mumbled response, he walked to the door grabbed a hall pass and walked down the empty hall. He wasn't actually getting a drink, he just wanted some peace and quiet. He felt like he was going to go insane in that room.

School was killing him slowly and painfully.

Dick sighed and leaned against the wall and closed his eyes. He knew he probably wouldn't have a good sleep tonight either. He didn't have time to lay down and do nothing, he had to head to the mountain tonight. He promised M'gann he'd fix her computer, apparently she lent it to Wally and it got a bad virus and so far she couldn't find anyone who'd fix it for a decent price.

So he offered to do it for free...like two weeks ago. So he wanted to get it done and over with now and not procrastinate.

Dick frowned and turned away from the wall and started to make his way down the hall and back to class but was stopped when he felt a hand grab his shoulder out of nowhere. He jumped and quickly turned around and grabbed the wrist of whoever grabbed him. And he furrowed his brows when he saw a short girl standing there. She had big hazel eyes, and a curly mess of blonde hair. And she looked absolutely terrified.

"A-Andrew?" The girl whispered, "Are you okay? Did he get you yet?" She asked, becoming louder.

Dick raised his eyebrows incredibly confused, and let go of her wrist and stepped back, he had no idea who this girl was. "Uh sorry i think you've got the wrong person..." He replied slowly. Who was Andrew? Or well which one? It was a common name in this school.

"D-Don't you...? Do you remember? A-Andrew?" She reached for him but Dick stepped away and she stepped back quickly and she seemed to be equally confused. "Uh, I'm sorry. W-Wrong person, m-my bad. Forget you ever s-saw me." She then turned away and ran down the hall and was soon out of sight.

He just stood there completely still and insanely confused. What...just happened? Could what just happened even be explained?

Drugs? Yeah that could explain that, kids here always were doing drugs. Not even the wealthiest of Gotham were safe from drugs and bad influences. Those rich families could try and try all they want. But this was Gotham and here no one was safe from that stuff.

That girl was a prime example.

Such a shame.

Dick sighed and headed back to his study hall. He only had one more class after this then today was over. Well over for school...he still had a ton of stuff he had to do.

Sleep could wait a little more...sadly.


Robin scowled and looked up at Wally, "What did you do to this laptop...?" He asked looking back at the spazzing out screen. "I've never seen anything like this..." The moment he turned it on it started to go all crazy. He couldn't click anything and it took ages for anything to even load.

"Can you fix it...?" M'gann asked hopefully. "I really need this for school."

Artemis walked into the living room and crossed her arms. "Lesson 1, don't lend anything to Baywatch," She said rolling her eyes.

"Hey!" Wally cried out greatly offended, "All i did was go on Reddit!" He scowled and glared at Artemis, "I didn't think that'd give the laptop a virus," He grumbled sitting down on the couch next to Robin.

M'gann just frowned "So you can help it...?" She asked, "It's not bad?"

Robin yawned and bit his lip, he really should have dealt with this sooner. Today was not a good day. "Uh...good question."

"So you can't?" Wally asked moving closer so he could see the screen, "It doesn't look that bad..."

Robin really would rather be doing anything else but this right now. "Wally...this looks like you went on every free movie scam website that exists, or the dark web." He replied scowling. "This is absolutely terrible." He was just being brutally honest right now.

"Well sorry...someone cranky," Wally said standing up. "What's your problem?" He asked.

Robin narrowed his eyes, "I'm not cranky."

Wally huffed, "Dude i know you better than anyone. You're cranky," He said crossing his arms sending a less threatening glare right back at Robin.

Robin took a deep breath. "M'gann I'm not sure if i can fix this...if i can it may take awhile." He completely changed the subject of the conversation. Something he was quite good at.

"Oh..." M'gann said sadly, "That's okay I guess..."

"Good going Wally," Artemis sneered.

Robin rubbed his temples and closed his eyes. He was currently trying to block out Artemis and Wally's bickering. Those two fought non-stop. It wasn't pleasant to hear and right now Artemis was really feeding the fire between her and Wally.

"Team report to the briefing room," Batman's voice echoed throughout the mountain.

Wally and Artemis stopped the bickering and Wally immediately zoomed off towards the briefing room, Artemis, Conner, and M'gann following after him. Robin stayed on the couch for a few seconds and sighed closing the poor laptop. He stood up and went to the briefing room and stood next to Wally. And bit his lip, he really hoped this wouldn't be a super serious mission. Or way too long, he really was not feeling great right now.

"On the outskirts of Bludhaven is an abandoned factory, and i have reasons to believe drugs are being smuggled from there to Gotham and other major cities," Batman started to explain.

"So...we just stop a drug ring?" Artemis asked scowling. "Isn't that something the police can handle?" She didn't see why they had to take care of this. Sounded pretty small to her.

Batman sent a glare her way and she shut her mouth and crossed her arms. "I also have reasons to believe that a small human trafficking ring is being organized there," He said scowling.

"Human trafficking?" M'gann asked, seeming to be completely clueless, "What's that?" She questioned.

"Human trafficking is when people are sold for various reasons, like for their organs or for labor," Robin explained, "Or for much worse."

Batman nodded, and M'gann's eyes widened. "T-That's horrible! Why would people sell other people?"

"People are sick sometimes," Artemis mumbled.

Batman cleared his throat getting the team's attention so he could continue speaking, "I've been monitoring the factory for the past month, i don't believe there are people in there. But i do believe there is evidence that could help with figuring out what exactly is going on." He paused, "The factory and the property it is on is about 50 acres, so you'll have to break into two teams, but i trust you all can decide on what to do about that."

The team nodded.


"This place doesn't seem too big," Kid Flash said frowning. They had just arrived and exited the bioship. "Do you think it's a good idea to split up?"

"There could be other buildings out here," Robin spoke up. "We can have one group go inside the main building and another out here." At the moment it was just Superboy, Miss Martian, Artemis, Kid Flash and Robin. Aqualad wasn't here today. He was probably in Atlantis helping Aquaman . "We can have Miss M and Superboy out here," He suggested.

"Then you and I could go into the main building?" Kid flash asked.

"Artemis to," Robin replied.

Kid Flash groaned and Artemis just smirked, "And don't you dare fight," Robin said glaring at them. They've been fighting like an old married couple. "Now let's go, we can't be here too long." Artemis and Kid Flash nodded and Miss M and Superboy went to start with walking around the perimeter.

"So we gotta go inside the creepy factory?" Kid Flash asked frowning.

Robin sighed, "Yup," He said starting to walk over to the old building. The outside was an absolute wreck, a lot of the windows were missing and some of the weeds were almost as tall as Superboy. "Let's get going, we shouldn't be out in the open."

"Least there's a gravel path," Artemis mumbled following Robin, "The grass is probably crawling with snakes and stuff..." She shuddered. Snakes...snakes were gross.

"Ha the grass is almost as tall as you Rob, we'd probably lose you in there," Kid Flash teased nudging him but he frowned when he got a glare in return. "Sheesh my bad..."

"...Can we just focus on the mission please?" Robin asked, the lack of sleep was really making him testy. And he'd rather not be in Bludhaven in an abandoned Factory where people were possibly being sold for their organs. Not a pleasant thing.

"Sorry..." Kid Flash scowled.

Artemis looked at the door once they arrived at one of the side doors. "Someone's most definitely been here recently. This door looks brand new compared to the rest of this building," She commented. She figured that was an obvious sign that this place was being used for something, why else would a brand new door be here while the rest of the building was rusted and falling apart? Hell this looked like it had been abandoned for a century.

"Then we should be cautious." Robin stepped back and looked up hoping maybe there was another entrance to this place. This door could possibly set an alarm off. "The door might set something off, I say we go through a broken window. Less risky." The windows wouldn't set anything off. They were smashed in.

"Good idea," Kid Flash replied.

Robin didn't waste any time and he quickly made his way to a window and easily climbed inside and he soon found himself in a very dark hallway glass littering the floor along with old nails and bits of the cracking ceiling and tile. "Damn this place is gross..." Artemis scowled taking out a flashlight.

Robin nodded and turned on his flashlight, "It's like something out of a scary movie," Kid Flash mumbled standing next to him.

Robin walked over to the door and looked at it, this was a heavy duty door. Someone was trying to keep other people out but they were clearly idiots. The windows were all smashed...so this door was not really helping. He looked to the ceiling and frowned, wires were going from the door and up into the ceiling. "There's gotta be something on the second floor."

"There's probably a lot of stuff on the second floor, the third too, and maybe the fourth." Artemis said looking around, "Maybe we should split up. So we can cover more ground quickly?"

"There doesn't seem to be anyone here," Kid Flash replied. "So we wouldn't really be in any danger."

"I don't think that's a good idea," Robin responded heading down the hall. "There could be security here..." He was all for getting this done quickly he was exhausted. But he did not want anyone getting caught. This was a big deal this place may be empty right now but they could never be too sure. People who ran drug trafficking and human trafficking rings were usually really cautious, although whoever was running this place was a idiot. This place was easy to get into.

"Robin, I doubt there's any security here." Kid Flash said starting to walk up the stairs that lead up to the second floor, "If there was we'd be spotted by now."

"He's got a point," Artemis frowned, "And it really hurts to agree with baywatch."

"Fine," Robin said sighing. He really didn't want to argue, "Be cautious, be very, very, very cautious," He couldn't stress that enough. "I'll take the second floor, Artemis the third, and KF you take the bottom floor. If someone is approaching this place you could quickly warn us and hide."

KF and Artemis nodded and wasted no time with getting where they were supposed to be. So Robin quickly went to the second floor.

This building was eerie. It had this heavy feeling of dread or like a heavy dark cloud hanging over it at all times. He sighed and walked into the first room he saw. It was a small room that seemed to be a storage room, and it was pretty empty aside from a desk in the middle of the room and an old fold up chair. And it seemed that someone was in here very recently, since the floor that was caked in dust had a trail of footsteps leading to the desk and back into the hall. "Huh..." He walked over to the desk and opened the drawers and found a flashdrive. Possible information? Hopefully, it had to be something at least. Why else would a flashdrive be in a creepy old Factory that was abandoned in the 60s?

After digging through the desk for about five minutes he found nothing else so he went back into the hall and checked every room he found. This went on for about 30 minutes, thankfully in that period of time nothing had gone wrong. Artemis came and handed him a flashdrive she had found in a room full of old newspapers, and Kid Flash still hadn't found anything. So he moved to the fourth floor and Artemis took his place downstairs after clearing the third floor.

Everything was going fairly smoothly.

And for some reason that felt wrong. Deep deep down Robin still had that bad dreaded feeling he had the night before. He felt watched, very watched. Like someone was looking over his shoulder at all times.

Thankfully this mission was almost over.

Robin was about to turn back and make his way downstairs but instead he went the opposite direction of the stairs. He felt like he missed something.

"Yo Rob, Miss M and Conner found a cabin a little ways behind the main building," Kid Flash said over the com link.

"A cabin?" He replied slightly confused, hey wasn't this place pretty close to a campground?

"Do you want us to go inside?" Miss Martian asked.

"No we'll tell Batman about it, that may not even be a part of this property. A campground is around here somewhere...that could be a part of it." He said stopping in his tracks. "Uh i found something, one sec."

There was a door that looked just like the one that was downstairs. How did he not see this? He could have sworn he walked down here already. "Hm..." A door like this could only mean one thing. There HAD to be something in there.

He went over to the door and looked it over, it didn't seem to be connected to any kind of alarm or security. He slowly put his hand on the door knob and he jumped when the door just opened. He stood there frozen for a moment but after a minute he walked into the room.

Unlike the other rooms in this building it wasn't covered in dust. And this room was fully furnished, it had bookshelves and cabinets filled with files. And a desk with a computer and papers all over the place. He walked over to the desk and saw a desk lamp and he turned it on. Place had electricity? Duh there was a computer here.

He looked down at the papers and raised an eyebrow, files with names on them. He picked up a file and opened it and there was a picture of a girl. She had straight black hair, blue eyes. And she looked very familiar...he just couldn't put a name to this face. He set the picture aside and his eyes widened, it was a detailed document of Evelyn Myers, the girl who went missing recently...the girl who everyone was talking about at school. This document had her name, age, her date of birth...the time she was born. Where she was born, who her parents were. Her ethnicity, height, weight...and a list of places she hung out or had been seen. There were even pictures of her in her bedroom? In her house?! At school?!

It didn't take a genius to figure out what the hell was going on here. She was being stalked and she'd been abducted. He put the file aside, Batman was most certainly seeing that. That was disgusting and beyond disturbing.

He'd never understood how some people would target children, and he really hoped that now that they had this information maybe this could give them a lead on to where she and other possible victims were being kept...maybe they'd find her? He hoped so, no one deserved to be kidnapped and sold. Sickening.

Robin dug around the desk for about three more minutes and then moved onto the filing cabinets. And was honestly surprised by how organized all the files were. They were alphabetized. He went through all of them, one by one.

"Yo Rob, are you alright?" Kid Flash asked.

Robin yawned, "Yeah one moment," he replied. He was almost done with the files under F, he was taking notes of all the names in these files. All were kids between the ages of 9-16. Pretty sick, "I found a room full of files and names on the second floor." He explained. Now to move on to G, he opened the file and he felt his heart stop.

Grayson

He stayed there still for who knows how long, just staring at the last name on the file. Grayson, Grayson. He didn't want to open it, he didn't want to.

"Rob you okay? You got all quiet? You want us to head up there?" Kid Flash asked concerned.

Robin was silent for a moment, "Y-Yeah...I-I'm fine. I'll be down in a moment," He lied.

"Okay, don't be long. It's almost one in the morning," KF replied.

Robin grabbed the file and opened it and he really wished he hadn't. Richard Grayson. Name, age, height, weight, family, his address, his school. His cellphone number?! And there were multiple pictures. Pictures of him with Bruce, at home, when he was younger, while he was at school. In his room.

This was not good.

This was bad, very very bad.

He was a target!? Where the people who were running this place after him?! He was obviously being stalked, just like Evelyn! He was an obvious target! Hell his name was underlined! That was bad! All of this was bad.

He felt like he was going to faint to be completely honest.

He knew what Human trafficking rings were, he knew what happened. He'd be dead within days if they got him. He quickly stood up and grabbed all the files he could carry, including the file with his own name on it.

Looks like he was going to have another sleepless night tonight.
