Disclaimer: I do not own anything to do with Batman or DC. Any OC's I give freely to the Fanfic world.
I really have no set up for chapter 2 other than its shorter than chapter one but still a good amount to read.
Again please any feed back good or bad I always welcome. For anyone that is reading this Fic I am sorry for the delay.Hope my future chapter won't take as long to post. Well Enjoy.
The entrance to Wayne Manor stared Batman in the face. It was late afternoon, it must have took Batman a couple of days to reach his home. His hand went to reach for the door knob, he quickly remembered how pointless that would be, so he decided to walk right through the door.
"Alfred? Dick? Anyone?" Batman shouted as he began his journey towards the library to use the secret entrance to the Batcave. He was hoping that's where someone would be. He made his way through the book shelf and down the stairs to the Batcave. Sure enough there was Alfred and Robin having an intense discussion.
"The Philadelphia Project? What's that have to do with Batman?" Robin asked Alfred seeming quite annoyed that he wasn't able to figure out this mystery that name presented.
"I apologize Master Dick, I sometimes forget how young you are. The Philadelphia Project, back in 1943 the U.S. government was experimenting with theories of invisibility. They tested a theory on the USS Elridge. There are many theories as to what actually occurred that day in Delaware Bay but a small minority feel the government successfully transported the Elridge from Philadelphia to Virginia."
"Again Al what's this have to do with our situation? I mean I don't get it." Robin was getting more frustrated.
"Well, Sir what I am getting it is the experimental technology that was used in 1943 has now been enhanced and is being experimented with now by Goth-Tech."
"So how does this experimental technology work?"
"Right sir, I am getting to it." Alfred was trying his best to hold back his aggravation for his impatient master. "The original theory is that light can be bent around an object to make it invisible. In 1943 they wrapped the Elridge in a metal wire and passed a measured current through it. This caused a huge oscillating magnet, that then forms a magnetic field around the ship. This not only can bend light but the thoery also goes on to say it can bend space and time. Seems Einstein's Unified Field Theory are very true sir. This same idea was enhanced into a single magnetic computer chip. Goth Tech had an electromagnetic chamber within the same lab that was destroyed. The reason no one knew about this is because the experiment was a success, upon their first attempt of invisibility, the chamber and its contents within all disappeared. Within that chamber the computer chip was generating an oscillating magnetic field...----"
"Right, now I see where you're going with this. Something must have triggered the explosion and caused the chip to release the magnetic field and boom, almost everyone and everything in that lab is now gone" Robin was now visibly excited.
"Well, Sir not gone just invisible. There is a high possibility that Master Bruce is still very much alive."
Robin's fears, his doubts, his anger was all subsiding. A new hope was building from the depths within. "But Al how did you find all of this out?"
"Well with you and Master Bruce out saving the city a butler has to have a hobby you know. And Hacking seems to be most useful one at that." Alfred wore a huge smirk on his face.
"That's Awesome Al"
"Yea, that's awesome Alfred" Batman repeated, now fully understanding what had happened to him. He now only had to find out how to reverse what had happened.

"That asshole...Why do I always let him do this to me!"
"Well Barb ---"
"I mean, what's wrong with me. Am I not attractive enough for him?"
"I think your very attractive Barb---"
"I mean what is it? Why does he always leave! I poured my God damn heart and soul out to him and what's he do...he fucking goes and leaves...again!"
"He's just fucked in the head. The sooner you realize that Barb the better. You deserve someone better...someone like me!"
"Damnit Cole get off me. You know you're just saying that to get in my pants again."
"Come on Barb give me more credit than that. How long have I sat on the sidelines waiting for you?"
"I hardly consider fucking half of the cheerleading squad waiting."
"Look your not exactly an innocent either. Besides how many times are you going to let that little prick do this to you? I mean if you were mine ---"
"If I were yours? Listen Cole me and you just won't...no...just trust me on this Cole. We met at a dark time in my life and well we are what we are and that's it. I know you've been there for me when I need you...God damn it, how did you turn this into a you and I topic, you always do that. Just hurry up and get dressed. I have an eight o'clock."
"Fine...but next time don't come running to me when that cocksucker hurts you...'
Cole throws his letterman jacket and left Barbara sitting along in her dorm.
-What I am I doing? I only called Cole out of anger. Damn you Richard...why do you effect me this way. No matter how much you hurt me, it's like I realize you don't want to but...there's something...something your holding back. I know the real you...why can't you just say you love me...I know you do-

Richard arrived to Biology early this morning. Hoping to talk to Babs before class. He headed for their usual seats. A couple of students were also getting an early start. He plopped his backpack down by his side and slumped back in his chair. Richard knew he had screwed up big time. He remembered Babs sitting there in Rizzinni's...She loves me! It all makes sense. Around her is the only time I feel like myself. She doesn't judge me...she openly and honestly cares for me. If I were to tell her then she'd understand. She would know why I leave. She would...know I love her. You really fucked this one up Dick. All you had to say was 'I love you too'...thats it's...His mind shift backs in focus. An arms brushes up against his. "Babs look... I'm...Oh sorry I thought you were someone else"
"Like whatever dude" The arm brush was not Babs, just some typical college girl.
"Damn... I said I was sorry..." Dick grabs his backpack and decides he isn't in the mood for class. He turns and storms for the door and crashes into an incoming student.
"Watch where you're going jerk!" The students yells as she looks up at Dick. "Richard, its you" Barbara states letting the that last part fade away into a mumble.
"Babs, I am so glad to see you..We need to talk..."
Barbara now pushes past Dick "Talk? you had your chance. Remember you're the one that left. Far as I'm concerned you made your choice."
"Ms. Gordon. Mr. Grayson is there a problem?" Professor Jacobs asked from the bottom of the lecture hall.
Barbara quickly answered "No, no problem at all Professor. Infact Mr. Grayson was just leaving" Barbara then turned her head back towards Richard. "That is what you're good at right...leaving!"
The hall was empty, the students were all in class, all but Dick. He walked alone.

Gray colored walls. Tiled ceiling. Vast amounts of empty space. Robin had to rethink his path into Goth-Corp. This was the same place that exploded just a week ago. His hopes of finding a new lead was quickly fading. Was this room actually empty? Or was it all now invisible. Was Batman still in this very room? All these questions popped into Robins head. None of them had answers.
He had to think. He had to retrace what he knew. He swung from one roof top and then to the next.
-We know that the last known location of Batman was in the computer lab in Goth-Corp. According to Alfred they were experimenting with an electro magnetic stealth technology. It s very plausible for Batman to still be alive. I think I should start asking around about this technology, see who is shopping around for it.-
Robins thoughts converged into worring.
-How long until Commissioner Gordon realizes Batman isn;t around. I dread answering that question. Barbara, how have I let it get this bad. She must think I am the biggest asshole in Gotham. Let;s face it, I may be. Then what if some crazy turns up, the Joker, Two face...Am I ready to take one of them one on one? Even if I'm ready, who knows if I am even good enough to take one of them down...or to figure out one of their evil schemes before it can hatch...Just shut the fuck Robin, I have to pull myself together.-

"Looky what I spy Ms. Kitty. Let's go pay them a visit."
"Meow...Meow"
"Mmm my thoughts exactly..but there's only room for one pussy. Sorry Ms. Kitty."
Pussy pulls her boots tight and set of in pursuit of her prey.

The horizon was starting to show a glimmer of sunlight. Robin checked the time. "Oh shit it's almost five o'clock. I gotta get back and try and get a few hours of sleep."
Robins back hits the graveled roof top in which he previously stood. "what the...what just happened?"
"Meow" A long sexy leg was stretched out and another sexy leg was bent, giving Robin a nice view of Catwoman's better features, ash she squatted along the ledge of the rooftop.
Robin managed to get himself standing rather quickly. He shook off the tiny rocks of gravel stuck to his elbows "Catwoman, so very nice of you to drop in on me like that. I simple hello would have sufficed. So do what do I owe the pleasure of your troubled company?"
She was now slowly making her way closer to Robin "What makes you think I am trouble?"
"Whoa there little kitty back off." his arm up ready for any move she might make
"Aww what's the matter, the little birdy has never smelled a pussy this close before?" She now had her left arm wrapped around his waist and her right slowly making its way up his shoulder.
"Listen...stop with the games. I don't play the same kind of games you do with Batman. So you can make this real easy or real hard, what's it going to be?"
Catwoman forced Robin into her by surprising him. Grabbing his ass was not something Robin has expected. He pelvis jolted forward into her. " Seems like you're all ready doing it the hard way, Mmmm"
Her arm was quickly snatched up by Robin and ready to snap at his will. Though Catwoman had a few tricks up her sleeve. Her left hand was still free and wrapped around Robins waist, her claws quickly dug into his torso.
"wonder what are we to do? you snap my arm and I dig a hole to your kidney. The question you want to ask yourself is how well can a woman dressed in leather handle pain." She was now head to head with Robin, so close the cool mint breathe savor she swallowed hours earlier was all he could smell.
"Wait is this where I come up with some horrible pun of my own...lets see...nope nothing, sorry to disappoint."
Catwoman reached up into his ear "So how about a truce then? We'll call it even for now"
"Yea right, you expect me to trust you?"
"Sure, why not...what do you have to loose"
"Real funny...look you and me both we can stand here night and day. Why not just give up?"
Her smiled turned into a grin of amusement. "Well you know if you let me go, I can help you out with Goth-Corp"
Robin immediately gripped her arm tighter. "What makes you think I need to know anything about Goth-Corp?"
"Don't play coy with me boy, I saw you leaving there earlier. And I know what is it your looking for!"
Robin released her arm and pushed her back. His torso was safe. "So what am I looking for then?"
"Oh Robbie you don't think I would give my secret just yet, do you? Tomorrow night same time, Goth-Corp."
"No way, you tell me now..."
"Sorry a girls gotta get her beauty sleep you know." Catwoman tossed small ball of yarn at Robins. He caught it and looked dumbfounded. The smoke then quickly explodes in his face. After a few moments its clears Robins looks around. Nothing...she gone.
