3 days after Joker attacked the Mountain
Chapter 2
"Find anything?" M'Gann asked telepathically as she flew around Gotham, hoping for a sign of oen of the villians who took her friend or Robin himself.
"Nothing! He has to be in Gotham somewhere... he was just here the other day, robbing a bank with-" Wally stopped himself before he finished. Just two days previously, Dick Grayson had been seen with the Joker and Harley robbing the Gotham Bank.
"What about in Arkham?"
"Nothing. It's deserted." Superboy replied to them.
"Artemis?"
"Nothing! I swear, they could be in a hidden cave or somewhere in the sky!"
"As awesome as that sounds, we all know that would NOT be possible." Wally said.
"It was a statement, Baywatch. I know they wouldn't be in the sky."
"I didn't say you were wrong! I only said it wasn't possible!"
"Both of you, shut up!" Red Arrow snapped at them, as he sat down where they had all agreed was where they were to meet up at 5:00.
"... she started it!"
"I did not, Kid Mouth!"
That got the speedster angry. Robin was the only one who called him Kid Mouth, and for some reason, it was only fine when he did it. Probably because he called him that all the time, since they met.
"Why don't you just take your arrows and-"
"Kid! Artemis! Enough! Our friend is in trouble, and you two are arguing like five year olds." Kaldur suddenly said angrily. It wasn't normal for the Atlantean to get angry when they argued, so they fell silent almost immediately.
"I'm going to take a quick run around Arkham again, just to make sure. If anyone was hiding, they would probably come out again after Supey left." Wally finally said, breaking the silence.
"I'm positive nobody is there. I would have heard something." Superboy told him, sounding slightly annoyed. Or maybe that was just him.
"But-"
"Wally, just get back here! We need to get back before Batman realizes what we're doing." Roy interrupted the speedster. He then looked over as Kaldur joined him, along with Superboy.
"What if we don't find him? What if we're looking in the wrong place! What if-" M'Gann's worried voice could be heard in all their minds.
"Calm down, Megalicous! We'll find him." Wally said, as he ran off.
Artemis' glare could be felt, even when they couldn't see her. "Enough, Kid Idiot! Your best friend is missing, and your flirting with Megan!" she stated angrily.
He didn't reply. Joking around, arguing with Artemis, and flirting with Megan was just how he was getting by. They didn't get that... if he didn't do what he had been doing, he'd probably end up doing something supid.
So, he blocked her out, and started back to where he was to meet the others. He reached them quickly, obviously... he was last back. Big shocker.
"Finally! Now let's go." Artemis said impatiently, and started walking away.
"We have about an hour before we have to." Roy told reminded her.
"So? What if Batman decides to show up early?" she asked him, not in the friendliest way. That did seem likely, though. He would want to make sure they weren't searching.
"I thought I told you six to stay out of it." A voice behind them said, surprising them. Damn that bat and his perfect timing...
"It was Roy's idea!" Wally immediately said, spinning around and pointing at the archer. That earned him a glare, of course.
"I don't care whose idea it was. I want you all-"
"I'm going to stay and keep searching." Red Arrow said before he could finish, and disappared before the Dark Knight could say anything.
He glared after him, before turning back to the others. "I told you to stay out of it for now." he repeated, turning his glare to the teens.
"We wanted to search for our friend! Is that so bad?" Artemis asked him, glaring back.
"How long has this been going on?" Batman asked, ignoring her.
Conner was the one to answer. "Since the first night."
The Bat raised an eyebrow. "How is it I haven't noticed until now."
"We weren't as careful as we usually were." Wally told him truthfully.
The dark knight sighed, and turned around. "I want you to return to the mountain immediately." he repeated. "" He added before getting into the bat-mobile, which they hadn't seen until now, and driving away.
"We're in trouble." Artemis said unnecessarily.
KF rolled his eyes, before started towards where the 'out of order' telephone was.
"Are we going to come back tomorrow night?" M'gann asked a few minutes later, once they reached where it was.
"Why wouldn't we?" Wally asked as Kaldur stepped in first.
"Recognized: Aqualad B02"
"Batman-"
Superboy walked past them and entered next after their older friend disappeared.
"Recognized: Superboy B04"
"Beautiful, Batman won't stop me from searching."
Wally tried to go next, but he was pushed out of the way by the blonde archer, who was followed by M'Gann.
"Recognized: Artemis B07"
"Recognized: Miss Martian B05"
He sighed, and finally entered himself... only to be knocked out of the way by a red-headed archer.
"Dude!"
"Sorry, Kid!"
"Recognized: Red Arrow B06"
Deciding he didn't want to be stopped again, the speedster rushed into the telephone booth.
"Recognized: Kid Flash B03"
Seconds later, he walked out of the zeta tubes and joined the team. Batman wasn't there yet, but Black Canary was.
"Batman will be here soon." she told him as she walked past him into the zeta tubes. He walked by her as if hadn't heard her and went to sit down on the couch.
"We won't get another chance to go out and look." Artemis said, sitting next to Wally. "He'll have Black Canary watching us!"
"We'll sneak out." Wally said, as if that solved the problem.
"We cannot just sneak out. They would come after us immediately." Kaldur pointed out, sitting down and taking out his book.
"Why not! They are not stopping me! I'm going to search for my best friend until I find him!"
"Calm down, baywatch."
"I AM CALM!"
"Could've fooled me..."
Wally glared at the archer again, as M'Gann walked over.
"Wally, we're just as worried as you are... we'll find him." M'Gann promised.
Superboy was still over near the tubes, watching them.
Wally sighed. "Fine, I'm calm now." he said.
"Recognized: Batman 02"
"We received a message about Robin from the Joker." He immediately told them as he walked in with a paper.
"Really! Show me!" Wally said, running by and grabbing the note. He ignored the bat-glare. He squinted at it. "Hey, I can't read this!"
"It's Morse Code." he told him. "Didn't you ever learn how to read it?" he then asked, taking the paper away from the speedster.
"Pisssh! Ya, I mean, of course I- uh, no."
"Didn't think so."
"What does it say?" Superboy asked, walking over to stand next to the speedster. M'Gann joined them next to him, as well as Artemis.
"Just that we have 5 days to find him before-" he was cut off, again, by the Flash's nephew.
"He kills him!"
"No. Before he 'breaks'."
"Breaks?" M'Gann echoed. "What's does that mean?"
"Whatever he's using to control him, it's probably too much for his brain to handle." Batman explained.
"Then let's go! We have to find him!" Wally said, starting past him. He was stopped by the atlantean.
"We can not just go off after him. We need to know where to look." He told him.
"Weren't you just over by the couch!"
"I walked over while you were looking at the note."
"We know they are definitely still in Gotham." Batman said, as Artemis and Roy joined them.
"Duh." The speedster said under his breath, which only earned him yet another glare from the Dark Knight.
"Although it is not the best thing to do, right now it's the only thing. Your team," he turned to Kaldur. "will search in Gotham for him. I have a few ideas about where the Joker would hide."
The Atlantean nodded, and M'Gann smiled. "Well, let's go!" she said cheerfully.
"One more thing-" Batman started.
"Recognized: unavailable B08"
"Who's B08-" Artemis began to ask, before someone stepped out of the tubes. Everyone froze when they saw who it was.
It was Robin.
