Kylie watched as her brother attempted to make a call. It didn't get through. There was no phone line anywhere in the house where she could reach and she had been here much longer than James had. "Why does he have a phone if it doesn't work?"

Kylie shrugged. It was probably because he liked to mess with people's minds half the time. Kylie walked down to the kitchen and started making some breakfast for herself and her brother.

Zee looked outside the window of the train seeing the city of Gotham passing by swiftly. It had been quiet and quite uneventful. They hadn't had a run in with the NSA for several weeks and that was bothering Zee. Had they actually given up on ever finding him or was there a more important mission that they had to take care of.

"It's been a little quiet hasn't it tinman?"

"Maybe your brother knows something about it?" Zee suggested.

"Yeah I'll see." Zee watched as Ro searched for a classified from her brother. She found one that looked like it. "Yesterdays newspaper for sale." Ro clicked on it.

"Hey Rosalie wondering why the NSA haven't been following you for a while? Take a look at this…"

Troubled Father tried to commit suicide after finding his children all missing.

Ro gasped as she saw a picture of a familiar NSA Agent. "Zee it's Bennet."

"Why would he do such a thing?"

"I don't know Zee. I know killing himself won't help anything. Surely it won't help bring back his kids any faster."

A troubled father under the stress of being a NSA special agent, his wife leaving him and then finally all of his four children being kidnapped. They said it was far too much stress and having previous depression problems resurfacing causing the man to try and unsuccessfully commit suicide as he tried shooting himself in the head but his wife knocked it out of his hand with his son, James Bennet Jr.'s bat and was able to grab a set of handcuffs place it on him and call the police.

"We have to have find his children for him."

"Why should we?" Ro said coldly. "He obviously didn't care that much for them before being a workaholic."

"It doesn't matter how would you feel if that was your father?"

"I guess so. Where are we going to start looking?"

"In Gotham City." Zee said looking at the picture of the children. "What are their names?"

"James, Sandy, and Dawn."

"That's only three."

"Huh, yeah what's the name of the fourth one." Ro typed up a search upon the fourth child. Suddenly something popped up. "Kylie Bennet"

"Why wasn't she mentioned in the article?"

"She's dead."

"What?" Zee pointed to the two dates. Born: April 23, 2029 Deceased: September 16, 2041. Death was caused by falling from a cliff into the ocean.

"Ouch, that had to hurt." Ro said looking at the cliff upon where she died.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kylie watched as her brother as he tried escaping a dozen different ways. There was no way that they could just walk out of the building. Kylie wrote a note to her brother telling him to wait till tonight.

Kylie turned and slipped the note in her brother's pocket motioning for him not to make a move. "Hello James I heard you've tried to escape thirty two different ways today. A new record I must say but I'm sure your sister has tried to tell you, you can't escape."

"Well she didn't even try to help me."

"Perhaps that's because she doesn't want to leave?" Halim said with an arrogant smirk on his face. Kylie walked away from both of them. Kylie looked out at the city at night. It was just as active at noon as it was at midnight. It was a city that never slept.

Kylie turned, as she knew her brother was dangerously messing with Halim's temper. "Lock him in his room!" One of the guards took James kicking and screaming to his room threw him in and lock him in there.

Halim growled as he let his frustrations out on one of the stronger walls of the room. Kylie walked over touching his arm gently. He growled as he turned towards her and softened as he saw it was her. Kylie flinched lightly as he took her in his arm. He pulled her close burying his face into her blonde hair taking the scent in deeply.

"I'm sorry…" He murmured to her as he held her gently. Halim pulled away holding her out in front of him to have a look at her. "Your power it's growing."

Kylie shook her head. She didn't want it to grow. She never wanted it in the first place. "You cannot deny what you were destined to do my dear. Nobody can. That is how I found you, you know. Because of your powers. They're so powerful I often wondered why you didn't use them to get back at your father."

Kylie looked down at the ground. She knew she had to get out of this place. Dinner and the rest of the evening was uneventful. Kylie stayed in the living room during most of the night. Halim knew she was probably going to sleep out there since she was afraid of him from his earlier outburst.

Kylie went into where her brother and sisters were staying. She sneaked in as she unlocked the door carefully. Kylie shook her brother's shoulder waking him. "Huh Kylie what's wrong?"

Kylie handed him his shoes and a helmet she found. He was going to put them on but she stopped him. James was going to speak but Kylie motioned for her brother to stay silent. It wouldn't be long before Halim found that she was missing. James swiftly walked with his socks on down the slippery marble-floored hall. He held onto his sister hoping she could help him keep his balance.

Kylie walked over to the elevator and pressed the button. It made the sound telling that it was at that floor. Kylie pushed James in quickly as the doors open. She pushed the bottom that took them to the underground garage. Kylie placed her shoes on and helmet. They were going to need to get out of there quickly.

Halim woke up hearing the elevator. "KYLIE!!!!"

Halim searched through the house growling. Halim swore to himself as he ran to the elevator ripping the doors open and jumping down the shaft. James felt the large thump on top of the elevator. "He's found us."

Kylie grabbed her brother's hand and turned around shutting the doors with her physic powers. Kylie ran towards one of the pillars in the garage holding a hand over her brother's mouth. She heard the sound of metal being crushed. Halim had found his way out of the elevator. "Kylie you can run but you can't hide!"

Kylie looked for a way out of this and saw that there was a bike about twenty feet away. She prayed that it wouldn't stall and had enough gas. Kylie grabbed James's hand and ran for it. Halim heard them and instantly ran after them.

Kylie was relieved when it started up instantly. Kylie winced as she saw Halim come within an inch of grabbing her off the bike. James hung tightly onto her waist. Kylie zoomed out of the garage.

Halim growled loudly before running after them. Kylie had gotten to the street that was beside the building Halim called the Hawk's Nest. James looked behind them to see they weren't out of hot water yet.
