Chapter 11 - Rescue

"It was a decoy all along!" the Flash growled, slamming his fist on the table.
"Chill man," Cyborg said quietly.
"How can I?!" the Flash burst out, "My best friends girl friend is out there somewhere, and god knows what she's going through right now! It's my fault. I shouldn't have let her out of my sight!"
"It's no ones fault." Raven said quietly.
"Don't go all-" the Flash started.
"Watch it," she growled.
"We have to do something," Robin's voice came from the screen close by. Batgirl beside him. "Terra's under no threat so we'll be joining in the search."
"Sure she won't get angry?" Supergirl asked, nervously.
"Right now, our main priority is finding her, Batman and Nightwing." Robin continued, seriously. "I am not going to loose my family like this."

"We clear?" Nightwing murmured quietly, hearing the sound of cars close by.
"Uh-huh." Batman nodded, distractedly.
"You sure?"
"Uh-huh."
"We gonna get help?"
"Uh-huh." Nightwing frowned. This was typical Batman. He waited impatiently, as the dark knight pushed the grate out of the way, when someone pulled the dark knight up.
"Batman!" he bellowed.
"Chill man, it's us." Beast Boy hissed, helping the Titan's leader out from the sewers.
"Beast Boy?"
"We got some bad news." Supergirl said quietly.
"Where's Barbara?" Nightwing aske alarmed.
"That's the bad news." Supergirl said weakly. "Slade's got her." Nightwing instantly reacted, jumping back down to the sewers. However, Batman stopped him before he could go any further.
"We need a plan, Nightwing." Batman said, quietly.
"Screw it. The one person I really care about is back there. I have to save her."
"We have to work together, Nightwing."
"F-"
"You aren't the only person who cares for her, Nightwing." Supergirl cried out, "She's my best friend! Batgirl's mentor and..." she didn't finish her sentence. She wasn't sure if she was allow to. Nightwing's eyes fell. Supergirl was right. "Flash's alrady beating himself up, saying it's his fault." She noticed that the Titan leader was looking agitated.
"Dick?"
"It's no ones fault but mine. I brought her into this. And I'm going to bring her out of it." pushing Batman aside, he went back, retracing he's steps.
"What are we going to do?" Beast Boy asked, after a moment of awkward silence.
"Get everyone to meet me here," Batman ordered, walking away.
"Where are you going?!" the shape shifter called after him.
"Getting help."

"Stubborn," Blackfire mused, as Oracle struggled to stand up. "You'd better fess up before it's too late."
"I'm the sort that doesn't talk," Oracle smirked, retreiving her ninja forks.
"Please, you can't hurt me." Blackfire growled, her hand and eys glowing again.
"Who said they were for you?" Oracle asked, throwing them to a chain, holding a cage above the alien. The chain cut, trapping Blackfire.
"Cute," the alien narrowed her purple eyes, breaking the cage, "But it can't hold me. Nothing can." Oracle backed up against the wall as Blackfire made her way towards her, a smile growing on her face.

"You could've at least try to stop him." Speedy exclaimed, pacing up and down at the Titan's Tower.
"He has issues," Raven said, "I don't blame him."
"I'm sure you don't." Supergirl rolled her eyes.
"Watch it," the hooded hero growled, standing up.
"Chill!" Batgirl exclaimed, getting up.
"You know Oracle." Cyborg said, "How long will she last?"
"She's good, so maybe a while." Batgirl sighed, sitting down again.
"Blackfire's better," Starfire said, helplessly.
"Great," Supergirl frowned.
"Why so glum?" the Flash grinned, appearing in the room.
"What do you-" Beast Boy stopped in mid-sentence, seeing the founding members of the Justice League, minus Jonz, behind the scarlet speeder. "Alright!"
"Where did you last see Oracle?" Superman asked, advancing towards the computer.
"We're heading to where we last saw Nightwing," Batman said, leaving the tower.
"We'll split into teams." John Stewart said, "It's our only way of finding her."
"Nightwing's already out there." Wonder Woman murmured, "We have to stop him before he does something he regrets."
"She has a point," Shyera pointed out, swinging her mace.
"Hey! Watch where you swing that thing!" Raven muttered. The Flash shook his head, and glanced at where Batman was standing, only to find him gone.
"Uh... guys?"
"What?" Batgirl asked, turning around. "Oh." she too had noted Batman was missing.
"He's headed to where we last saw Nightwing," Robin said, entering the room.
"And you didn't stop him?" Batgirl asked.
"This is Batman we're talking about," the boy wonder frowned, "He's way or the high way."
"Point taken."
"Let's go." Robin said, gesturing Batgirl to follow him.
"You're not leaving without back up." Superman said.
"I already have my back up." Robin muttered, as the two dark knights prepared to leave the room.
"John." Superman warned. Suddenly a green wall blocked their means of exitting the building.
"Give it a rest," Robin said, quietly.
"Not until one of us is following you and Batgirl." Superman responded, evenly.
"You do not want to get on my bad side," Robin growled. Batgirl nodded in agreement.
"I don't care," Superman responded, calmly. Robin glared at the League at the corner of his eye. "Oracle is a valued member of the League."
"Part time," Robin corrected, "As is I." he paused, "The only reason we joined was because Batman wanted us to."
"So you always do as he says?" John asked. Batgirl glanced nervoursly at Robin, who narrowed he's eyes.
"I only joined because Oracle agreed to help. Now put down the wall."
"No." Batgirl saw Robin secretly whipping something out from his utility belt.
"If that's the way you want it." he smirked, throwing out some small discs. A bright light emerged, blinding every- one in the room. The wall went down. Grabbing Batgirl by the arm, Robin made his quick getaway before the wall could go up again.
"What happened?" Wonder Woman asked, as the light died down.
"They escaped." Superman frowned, watching from the screen as they watched the Titan sub take off.
"Hey! They hijacked my sub!" Cyborg cried out rushing towards the window.

He could hear his heart pounding with every step he took. He had to stay focus. He had to find her. He had to stop him. If he didn't, he didn't know what he'd do. He could feel beads of sweat falling from his face. He quickly wiped them away, retracing his steps. He pulled to a stop, to see a damaged room. He could hear the sound of water dripping, followed by his heart beating and heavy breathing. He quickly scanned the area. He had to find her. Some- thing caught his eye. Two silver ninja forks.
"No..." he whispered to himself, rushing to where the items lay. He slowly picked them up. "Barbara..." He could hear someone close by breathing heavily. "Barbara?!" he called aloud. No one responded. "Babs, are you here?" Still no one responded. He threw the thought aside that maybe she could be here. He had his hopes too high. He's eyes fell as he continued his way down to the narrow corridor. "Fresh..." He could hear a faint groan. He turned around sharply. He definately wasn't hearing things. Someone was here. But who? "Who's there?!" he demanded.

'Dick? Is that you?' she silently thought, as she tried to move. 'Ow.' Her battle with Blackfire was all a blur. The purple light... the pain... she couldn't remember how Blackfire knocked her out. She didn't remember how she ended up at the end of the room, where she was. She groaned again. Everything ached. Her legs, her arms, her body, her head, she even swore her hair ached. She could hear foot steps fading away. She could hear him, but she couldn't answer.
"Dick..." she called out softly, her voice only a whisper. "Here..." Her vision became a blur.
"Barbara?" Someone was beside her. Was it Dick? "Oh god," he said, hoarsely.
"Dick..." she could feel her world going dark.
"Stay with me," he whispered, "Come on baby, don't close your eyes. Stay with me..." she forced a smile, as she tried to reach out for his cheek. He quickly grabbed her hand, holding it tightly.
"Sooo tired," she slured, before closing her eyes.

"Will she be O.K?"
"She will be," Raven said quietly, "You're lucky to have gotten to me before I left." Nightwing looked to the side.
"Wanna talk about it?" she asked uncertainly.
"No." he frowned. Raven sighed.
"I know you're worried about her, Dick but-"
"But nothing," Nightwing turned around stubbornly.
"You have to go help them. I'll stay here."
"He knows she's here." he said, "He's waiting for me to go. I'm not leaving her alone."
"She won't be alone."
"I'm not going to leave her alone!" he shouted, causing the sleeping woman to stir.
"Now look what you've done," Raven scowled, rushing to the woman's side.
"I didn't do anything," he muttered, following her.
"What did they want?" Raven asked quietly.
"Files... I think."
