A/N: hi guys, ive decided to use letters instead of dots and dashes as they dont seem to apear on the net (glares at computer)
Chapter 30:
Benson paced around impaiteintly in the room as he waited for his freind to return and was now beginning to fear for his safety.
I should have never let him go through with this he thought sadly. the poor assistant had tried to persuade him to return the boy to his ever-anxious freinds but James had never listened...
(flashback)
'Slade just called, im going to perform the exchange tonight' he said as he grabbed his trench coat.
'But are ou sure this Slade character is trust worthy? i mean, ive heard the stories-'
'Maybe Benson but as long as he provides us financial support, i really dont mind' James interrupted him
'Yes but...why dont we just forget about this whole thing and return the boy to his freinds? they are so worried'
'Crimeny Benson! i cant back out of this now, Slade will have my head if i dont deliver the boy to him...think about the project, we will finally be able to finish it'
Benson crossed his arms in front of his chest in a stubborn manner 'I dont want to ruin his life'
'we are not ruining his life, Slade will take care of him'
'What about Batman? you want him to feel the same way you felt when you lost Emily and your kids?'
silence
'You know what you are doing is wrong sir, why not correct it?' he said soothingly, his expression softening.
James's face suddenly hardened and he glared at his assistant, making him flinch 'i need the money Benson, i dont care right now so please just give me a sirenge and step out of my way'
Benson looked surprised...James had never talked to him like that before but nevertheless he stepped away, allowing the doctor to come near the sleeping boy.
(End flashback)
A beeping sound pulled him out of his thoughts and he turned himself to the computer screen which now showed two robots setting something on the wall of the house.
What in tarnation! he thought with surprise and leaned closer towards the screen to see a faint shadow showing on the left side of the trees.
His eyes clicked with understanding oh great, well isint this swell...but they dont call me a genius for nothing and he quickly typed a few words on the computer. the screen blinked and then showed the workings and the research they had done for the experiment which he and James were so proud of.
A Gold-colored disk popped out of the computer. Benson quickly grabbed it and made his way towards the nearest exit.

Did i hit my head on a rock or is it just James playing around? he thought with frustration as the pounding in his head grew close to a steady march.
He opened his glazed eyes, half expecting for Jame's face to be looming above him but what he found was some what more unpleasent.
'Had a nice nap Robin?' Slade asked from above him, an evil glint in his eye which could have given Trigon a run for his money.
'S-Slade?' he gasped through the gag but only came out as a muffled yell because of the stupid cloth. Slade took out a needle and injected it into his arm, making the pounding worse.
'You should rest, we have a long journey ahead of us' he said with the least concern in his voice as darkness consumed Robin once more and the last word he heard Slade say was 'my apprentice'

Wintergreen had an impaitient look on his face...could'nt the stupid robots work any faster?
As if on cue, the robots finished setting the contraption and stepped aside, obediently bowing for him.
'Its about ime' he muttered and then pointed towards a car which stood perfectly still some distance away 'get to the car' he rasped and the robots quickly obeyed.
Wintergreen took out a small remote from underneath the folds of his trench coat and faced the house while resting his thumb on the red button.
'So long' hemuttered and pressed it.
Huge purplish and blueish flames erupted from the contraption and spiraled the house like a tornado, reaching higher and higher until the house was completely engulfed in it but luckily, the flames did not travel towards the other houses as there was no wind.
Wintergreen stared at it for a long time until the sound of fire engines and police sirens filled the air and he had to make a run for it.
He quickly settled into the backseat of the car and slammed the door shut. 'Move!' he ordered and the robots sitting at front immediatly responded to his commands.
But poor Wintergreen could not keep his eyes of the burning house...somehow, it made him feel a bit sorry for the person living inside it.
(A/N:by the way have you guys ever wondered why its always the red button? it puzzles me so...but thats the only color i have seen on dangerous buttons...oh well)

The green snake gave an irritated hiss before morphing into the human shape with pointy ears.
'I have'nt slept in weeks! this is going to be bad for my beauty sleep' he yelled to himself as he felt small bags under his eyes with his grey-gloved hands 'i dont know how Robin stays up all night working...wait...he does not have insomnia does he?'
He sighed and turned his head to look around. he was near the peir and he could hear the sea waves crashing against the rocks below...
Beast boy had no idea what he was doing here but he was part animal, when he had morphed into a snake he had caught Robin's scent and had followed it, hoping he could end the nightmare...
Either Robin had decided to commit suicide and had jumped into the sea or Beast boy followed wrong.
He hoped it was'nt the first one though...even though Robin was the suicidical type...
All right think Beast boy, think...if his scent let you here then that means he must have been here but now where did he go? a bionic monkey could have kidnapped him for all he knew.
He smiled at the last thought. yeah right...
A beeping sound brought him back to his senses and he opened the flap of his yellow titan's commnicator to find a very angry Cyborg
'Man where are you? do you know how worried we are? Starfire is already out searching for your sorry green butt'
'Im sorry Cyborg but I thought I-'
'Then dont think! we are a team Beast boy, I dont want to lose you the same way we lost Robin! im already worried sick about that spiky-haired little obbsessed shortie'
'I said im sorry!' Beast boy exclaimed 'look, ill get to the tower as fast as I can ok?'
'Yeah you better!' the android glared and the screen turned blank.
Beast boy sighed 'great! first I get a dead end and now Cyborg is going to pound me! ... it isint easy being green' he said as he pocketed his communicator and was about to leave when he heard someone behind him, making him gasp.
But the look of surprise was quickly replaced by a look of pure anger as Beast boy narrowed his green eyes and took up a fighting stance.
'Its you' he hissed angrily
