Arsenal, Red Arrow, Conner, and Dick were lazing around the cave, "Quiet day today. Where is everybody?" asked Arsenal.They all looked up, the guys literally made the living room a boy only zone since they always hung out there, with their guy nights and movie marathons. It was only the four of them there, Conner eating cereal, Dick on his phone, and Roy and Arsenal mingling.
"I better check on Jade and the baby, hey Arse, wanna see your niece?" asked Roy. Arsenal had warmed up to the thought of being cloned and interacting with said clone. "Well, even though you called me the british accent equivalent to an ass; though there is no other thing to call me since we're both Roy Harper. Yeah, I'll go see my little niece." he answered.
The two got up from the table and made their way to the zeta tubes. When they left, Dick began, "Its good to see those two getting along. You'd almost think that they were twins with how they act." "Yeah, its-" Conner was cut off by the zeta tube going off and Batman, Flash, and Aquaman storming in.
"Dick, this is an emergency. Assemble the team; La'gann, Kid Flash, impulse, Robin, and Garfield have all disappeared." shouted Batman. "Didn't La'gann and KF say they were taking some personal time?" asked Dick. "None of La'gann's teachers have marked him present for classes, no one has seen him at any of our libraries, and our security cameras haven't caught him entering or exiting his apartment." answered Aquaman.
"Wally's folks called Iris, telling her that they haven't seen him in three days." added Flash. Dick grew a concerned look on his face as he looked at the letter from the two sitting where he left them on the counter. "What about Bart, Gar, and Tim?" asked Conner.
The three leagers exchanged looks, then Batman typed a few thing on his arm interface and pulled up a recording file. "This is Robin, we've been ambushed… Aghh-" "This is puzzling, even for me." stated Batman.
LINEBREAK
Arsenal and RA were flipping around Gotham, trying to find any sort of clue or evidence at where Gar, Tim, and Bart could have gone. They reach the area where Robin's communicator last pinged before it was destroyed. "a green scale… and these claw marks on the wall." stated Arsenal as he caressed the marks on the concrete. "I don't know why, but they feel familiar." he added.
Red Arrow started taking scans of the area when he found something, and it scared him. "I'm picking up… traces of a boom tube. Arse this isn't good, we have to warn-" Red was cut off as a yellow and red blur punched him in the face, knocking him down. Arsenal readied one of tonfa, though he was unprepared when it was swiped from him.
Red Arrow managed to get up and made his way over to Arsenal taking a fighting stance with him. What they saw shocked them, the blur stopped itself right in front of them and it was revealed that it was Wally all along. Arsenal and Red Arrow lightened their stances, "I see you're back from your little R R, how is everything?" asked RA.
Wally was about to answer them when Arsenal got a call from Dick, he put it on speaker for everyone to hear. "Hello, Arsenal, Wally never made it home that night we got that letter, he and La'gann have been missing for four days, now Tim, Gar, and Bart are gone." Dick informed through the phone.
Arsenal and RA exchanged looks, and then cautiously glanced at Wally, only to be met with one punch flying towards them and everything fading to black. "Hello guys, are you there?" asked Dick trying to get a response. He then heard giggling which prompted him to put the call on speaker for everyone in the cave to hear.
"Who is this?" asked the detective. "We have the others, you and Supey are all that's left." Said the voice, which everyone recognized as Wally. Barry then shouted, "What's going on, are you okay? Your parents haven't seen you in four days."
A gruff voice could be heard approaching. "Oh my little Fire fox, you've done so well. Go home and rest; i'll take it from here." after a few seconds the voice. "Aaahh, such lovely children you've raised, very suitable for my wives. I as well as three of my boys shall come to fetch Kon-el and Richard soon; Darkseid Out." The call ended and the room was met filled with silence.
Superboy was the first to do anything. His eyes were wide as he wrapped his arms around his head covering his ears. He rocked back and forth while sitting on the floor. "It's happening again; I'm going to get taken. I can't do this, not again." he was shouting and crying, tears all over his face.
