Twenty Minutes Later

Bruce had left the suite to attend one part of the peace conference about an hour ago, and when he returned, the twins still were not back. He figured they would go back to the arcade since their play time was interrupted, so he headed down there.

When he arrived, he saw Robin starting to stand up. The billionaire headed over to the boy wonder and helped him.

"Robin, where is my daughter?" Bruce calmly yet worriedly asked.

"Mercy; she came and attacked, her arm is a laser gun." Robin said as he rubbed his head. "Mr. Wayne, I'm sorry, I couldn't protect her, and Mercy took her."

Bruce was about to go full on Bat mode, but he kept it in so as not to draw attention to his secret. He looked around, and saw the taser, then walked over and examined it. The billionaire noticed, without picking it up, that it was set on a medium high voltage, so he knew that Reiena would be out for some time.

"I need to go check on my son, you better let Batman know what's going on." Bruce said, and with that the two went their separate ways, so as to keep up appearances.

In the Wayne Suite

Robin took the shortcut and was able to get back to the suite before Bruce got there with hotel security. He was in his regular clothes and lay on the bed to make it look like he wanted a quick nap. Soon enough, there was a knock at his door, and he sat up on the bed.

"Dick, I have to tell you something." Was all Bruce said.

"Come in." Dick said with a bit of tremble in his voice.

Bruce followed the order and opened the door, he was followed by two hotel security guards. "Reiena's been kidnapped, we don't know by whom or why."

Dick sat there stunned, and then he started to talk. "I didn't mean to fall asleep, I just wanted to rest my eyes for a moment. We were supposed to stay together after Metallo tried to take us."

"We are doing all we can to find your sister, and whoever took her." One of the guards said.

They had stayed at this hotel before so the security staff knew that Dick and Reiena were twins. The guards figured that the boy needed some time alone, and so they asked Bruce if they could talk to him in the living area of the suite.

"As soon as they leave, looks like Batman and Robin are going on the hunt." Dick said to himself as he got off the bed, still thinking about how he let his sister down.

Thirty Minutes Later

She started to wake up, and when her memories returned to her, the first thing she wanted to do was to punch Mercy right in the gut. It wasn't two seconds after she was completely conscious, the girl heard the door to the room, which she was now realizing she was in.

"I see you are conscious, that's good, since we want to show your father that you are unharmed." A familiar voice said.

"That voice, wait a minute, you're Luthor, I should have figured it when Mercy attacked me and…ROBIN." Reiena said, worry in her voice.

"The boy wonder will just have a nasty headache when he wakes up, andou are right that I am behind this. Don't worry, you won't be harmed Well as long as you cooperate with us during your stay here." Luthor said with a smile on his face.

"Why kidnap me, Luthor." Reiena said as she glared at him as she stood up.

"Well, you see, your father holds a property that is an excellent spot for Geneva's branch of Lexcorp, and there is one way to get him to relinquish his hold on it…"

"…by kidnapping one or both of his children. You sent Metallo after us." Reiena said as the pieces were falling into place. (well, for her civilian identity anyway).

"Very perceptive, but Wayne has to know that you are alright, along with how bad of a situation you are in." Luthor said, and with that Mercy came out from behind her boss and walked over to Reiena.

The fiery Reiena lashed out to protect herself, but as soon as she punched, Mercy grabbed her right arm and started messing with the purple banded bracelet that was on it. Then after the bracelet was removed and handed to Luthor, Reiena was restrained with rope at her wrists and ankles. The young Gothamite struggled, but the rope was tied too tight, and she couldn't use her fire power for risk of exposing not only her hero identity but her brother and father's as well.

Luthor had produced a camera while his right hand girl grabbed Reiena's hair and pulled her head back, and put a knife to her throat. The Metropolis villain then took a picture but was careful to make sure Mercy was not in it herself. It was an instant picture and soon enough the picture along with Reiena's bracelet were put into an envelope along with a note and sealed. The two captors then left the room with Reiena helpless.

Three Hours Later

Bruce and Dick were worried by now, as they had heard nothing from Luthor, who they knew did it, but they had to keep up their civilian appearances. Just as Bruce was about to wear a hole in the floor from pacing, there was a knock on the door to the suite. Dick flipped over the sofa he was sitting on, and the two raced to the door.

"I have a package for Mr. Wayne." The hotel Concierge said as she handed Bruce the envelope then left.

Bruce opened the envelope with Dick right beside him, and when they saw the contents, both were furious about the picture. The 13 year old acrobat noticed the bracelet and pulled it out. A few months ago, there was a movie that premiered in Gotham, Hotel Transylvania, and the twins received special bracelets that could only be gotten as promotional items. Reiena wore hers all the time, and one reason was that the bracelet had a metal part that was shaped like a bat and had the words Hotel Transylvania in the middle of it.

Dick was now furious, so furious that when he clutched the bracelet in his hand, the bat left an impression in his palm when he released it. Bruce was angry as well, but that anger turned to worry when he read the note that accompanied the photo and bracelet.

As you can see by the picture, your daughter is at my mercy.

You have a property here that you are going to use as a park,

Well I want it, and figured that the only way to get it from you was to

'presuade' you. Inside this envelope you will find Miss Grayson's bracelet.

That is to show you that the photograph is very real and that you can see

what is at stake if you fail to comply. I will contact you in 48 hours to be told

what you wish to do. I would try and keep Batman and his children out of this,

or young Reiena will pay for their interference.

"Bruce…." Dick started, as he had wanted to out and search all over for Luthor, but when the last line of the note was read, fear consumed that urge.

"We will find her, Dick, I promise that." Bruce said as Batman started to come out in his voice.

All Dick could do was think about what was going on and worry about Reiena.


okay, so a quick message to my friend and favorite reviewer Mala, I think you can start those funeral arrangements. LOL.

Also, I do not own the rights to Hotel Transylvania, but the bracelet mentioned in this chapter does exist. I have about four of them since my mother works for my local movie theatres and gets promo stuff all the time. I wear the bracelet and have already had to change once since the movie came out. I do not lie that it is shaped like a bat because it is, seeing how Mavis can change into on. just letting you know this.
