(Gotham's Western Borders 02:13 am)
"We got him, we have Robin" The female informed someone on her cellphone ..."Yes!"..."Trust me, there's no need to rush it"..."I will send you the updates" she hang up
"Well now that we have got the boy, our mission is accomplished" The male bragged
"Trust me, It just began"
(Mount Justice 02:16 am)
"I told you, Megan said there was party at her school, and they all went" Captain Marvel was explaining to both Green Lantern and Black Canary
"Then why would they take the bioship?" the archer asked
"For transportation, Daah!"
The trainer and the mentor both exchanged a disappointed glance
"You know that they can't really use the bioship as normal teenagers" Black Canary added with a disappointed tune
"Recognize Batman 01"
"Recognize Flash 07"
"Recognize Superman 02"
"We received a s.o.s signal from Kid Flash " Superman added
"Where are they?" the archer asked
"Somewhere in Gotham" the speedster answered
...
The exact location wasn't really known, It was definitely a deserted place, cold too as it may seem
"Are we there yet?" the female asked the driver and the sound of car engines stopped
"We are!"
"Good, get the kid" she ordered one of the men
a secret passage appeared leading to an underground building and they all entered
...
(Gotham city, Micro Technology Factory 3:56 am)
"You have done enough" the dark knight stated
"We were just trying to help" the archer added
"No you were trying to prove that you no longer need our guidance, but you don't have to prove this anymore, the league have decided, this team is over" Superman interrupted
"You can't do this, this team is our life beside we wouldn't have acted on our own if Batman had informed us with the updates" Kid flash shouted
"You still don't get it, there was no updates! you're only here because you have been deceived, it was a trap" Batman answered coldly
"That's enough I think we should let the league handle it, not trusting them is what got us here in the first place" the young leader spoke
"Exactly! everyone return to your houses, as for Megan and superboy you will stay in Mount Justice for now till we settle other arrangements" Green lantern informed the young heroes then walked to the rest of the league, leaving the teenagers alone
"Hey Kaldur'ahm do you really mean what you said?" Artemis whispered
"No! but for now we need to think everything through"
"You know! Robin knew" Kid flash added seriously
"Knew what?" the whole team wondered but it was Superboy who finally asked
"He knew we shouldn't do it, he tried to warn me before we got off the bioship, if I had listened to him maybe he would... well still be here"
"Don't be so hard on yourself Wally, we were all wrong" Megan placed her hand on his shoulder
"Yes, me the most" The atlantian interrupted
"But we will get him back" Superboy added
...
Robin was suspended by his wrists, obvously still unconscious. About six men were present in the room
"Did you set all the equipment" the female entered the room
"Yes, all is set" one of the men answered
"Good ! you can leave now, I will call you if I need anything" they all left leaving only one man
"why did you send them away?"
"We are the only ones who need to know his identity"
"You will actually remove his mask !Aren't you afraid of dady bats" the man stated sarcastically
"if we want this to work then we need to find out everything about him, beside I think we already crossed the line with the dark knight"
Robin's mask was removed
"Do you know who he is ?"
"Who wouldn't? it's Bruce Wayne's foster kid Dick Grayson"
"Bruce Wayne?" he laughed "Who knows maybe we can get a decent ransom if we fail at our mission"
"No one is getting anything, actually knowing his identity makes our task really easy"
The young hero regained his conscious as they were speaking, usually he would try to make a smart remark but was shocked to see his mask in the young woman's hand
"He's awake" the man smiled
"Finally!" she smiled too "Hello Robin or Dick, whatever you prefer"
she waited for him to answer but he didn't respond
"Let me introduce myself I am doctor Ava a physiatrist and this is my brother Ethan"
Dick didn't respond too
"I am trying to tell you we mean you no harm and we're even you know who we are, as we know who you are"
"How would I know it's really who you are?" the teenager finally spoke
"Because I am not lying! " she smiled " You I understand you should be suspicious, something I presume the Dark knight taught you"
"He also taught me how to escape which is something I intend to do very soon"
"It's such a shame if you ask me"
"What is?"
"The fact that he use you like this"
"He's not using me"
"Did he Dick, you know you're a smart kid, you must have wondered why he took you in"
"It's something people like you wouldn't understand"
"Really? I will tell you why, Bruce and the dark knight meet charity cases daily and we both know some stories are way worse than yours yet he only took you in, and trust me it wasn't out of the goodness of his heart...think about it he knew you had potentials to be his side kick from the very first moment, he trained you to help him instead of helping you have a normal life"
"I asked him to do it, I wanted this"
"At the age of nine who wouldn't wanna be a hero Robin, but a parent should know better the truth is, he only care about himself, he knew the danger he exposed you to, he knew you might face something like this, but he doesn't care"
"He didn't want to train me, I made him!"
"Yes because we all know how can the great Batman be easily persuaded don't we" she added sarcastically "Let me ask you something Dick, do you love him?"
"Yes!" Ethan shock him with a taser and he screamed
"Don't, he caused you this pain because he exposed you to this in the first place"
