'They're on to me.' Dawson thought bringing his bike, the one he lifted from Bruce's garage, to a stop outside a drug store.
Hopping off the bike he began searching through every bit of it until he found-
'Bugged.' He thought with a sneer then dropped the bat-shaped tracker to the ground and took to the streets on foot.
The good thing about Gotham was that it was always dark and had plenty of shadows, then again, some people looked at that as a bad thing.
Nightwing slowed his bike to a stop next to Dawson's, he sighed spotting the tracker blinking on the ground, "He figured us out," He voiced out loud as Batman landed beside him, "He's on foot now."
The Bruce Wayne inside of Batman wanted to say, 'No duh, when did you figure that out? And I thought I was the great detective.' But he brushed the thoughts away like dust in an abandoned room, "He won't be too far then."
Nightwing nodded starting his bike up again, he glanced over his shoulder to say something but found only empty air.

"You know it's not going to end pretty," Jennifer sighed watching Logan pace from her position on the couch, "There's not going be an happily ever after… not with him."
Logan stopped, his eyes slid about the room at the many pictures that decorated it. The girls had decorated this room with pictures of everyone, said that it's what every family did. Everyone had at least one picture. Rob with Roberto playing cards on a lawn chair by the pool, Rogue and Piotr with Jennifer before her first day of school, Nikki with Luke in his wolf form playing fetch, Jamie, Kitty and Stephanie posing with silly grins, Hayley, Jack, Danny and Cane playing volleyball in the pool, Jubilee, Roberto and Tommy sitting at the kitchen table eating cereal in silence, Virginia, Bruce and Blake all staring at the camera in confusion as though someone caught them off guard, Rahne and Bobby with their new daughter Lilly, and then there was himself and Dawson.
"Logan?"
He snapped out of his thoughts and turned to Jennifer staring at him with concern in her eyes, "I should go an' try an'-"
"No." Jennifer interrupted shaking her head, "Bruce will stop him. He'll kill himself trying."
Logan scowled, "Or him." He grunted then ran a hand through his hair irritably, "I can't just stand here an' do nothing." He growled through clenched teeth.
He was about ready to head to the Danger Room when Luke and Nikki walked in, Luke holding something in his hands, "The mail just came," He smiled slightly, "This came for you Jennifer." He handed her the magazine and she gasped slightly.
"It's the next issue."
Logan froze having gone back to pacing, "This is it." He mumbled folding his arms over his chest, "Go on."
Luke, to curious for his own good and having heard about Dawson, sat down on the Lazy-boy nearest to him to listen. Nikki quickly flopped down in his lap giving Luke a quizzical look before he too listened.

He ran through the shadows of the alley avoiding any lights, he froze watching as a bat-shaped shadow began to grow in the center of the alley. He turned to run finding Nightwing blocking his way, with a growl Dawson lunged at Nightwing with a sidekick. Nightwing easily dodged but wasn't so lucky with the second blow Dawson dealt him, a roundhouse kick right into his jaw.
"Damn it Dawson!" Nightwing shouted stumbling back as he wiped away the blood running down his chin.
Dawson sneered underneath his cloth mask, "Back off Nightwing." He growled.
'There, now's my chance.' Batman thought as he darted towards Dawson and grabbed his arms pulling them behind his back, he then kicked the backs of his knees making him drop to the ground. A string of cuss words both Japanese and English streamed out of Dawson as he panted face down on the ground.
"Get off me!" He screamed his shoulder blades burning with pain.
Batman tightened his hold, "You're acting like a common crook, and so I'm going to treat you like one." He hissed into Dawson's ear.
Dawson tensed, "You have part of that right," He growled lifting his forehead off the cement, "but you forget, I'm not 'common'."
Before either Nightwing or Batman new it, Dawson had Batman pinned to the ground with a knife drawn to his throat. He pulled the cowl off and tossed it to the ground, "Hey dad." He hissed glaring down at Bruce.

A/N: This was a tough chapter to end. I was going to make it longer and just end the story with it but I decided, obviously, not too. The next chapter is the last though. Or I think so anyways. .
Whatever the outcome, please review! :-D
