"Where is he? We've been waiting forever!" Wally groaned, closing his eyes as he slouched in his seat inside the bio-ship. He just wanted to go. One, because he couldn't stand waiting or the Dark Knight. Two, because he really wanted to find his best friend.

"We've only been here for two minutes, genius!" Artemis' voice sounded from in front of him. He opened his eyes to see her standing there, arms crossed. Miss M was waiting patiently next to Superboy and Aqualad. The martian was talking quietly with her boyfriend while the Atlantean kept watch for Batman.

The speedster rolled his eyes, and allowed them to stray over to the cave. Usually, it was Bats wanting them to hurry up; not the other way around. Wally made a mental note that, next time they were rushed, he would remind him about how long he took today. Bored, he looked at the sky and allowed himself to just watch the clouds passing by. "That one looks like a bunny." He said. Behind him, Redbird rolled his eyes.

"A bunny? All the things you could see; you see a bunny?" he asked. The speedster glared at the newbie. So what if he saw a bunny? They could be cool... sorta. He was about to respond to the older boys words when he noticed Batman walking over to the bio-ship with two other people.

"Who is with him?" Aqualad asked the others outloud.

Kid Flash, who was too lazy to look, shrugged. "One is Matt; the other? No idea. Maybe it's yet another member of the Bat-clan!" He said sarcastically, watching the top of the bioship. Roy took a seat next to him, and Rick finally sat down instead of walking around. Aqualad was about to say something when a new voice spoke up.

"Wow, how did you guess?"

He looked over, and saw someone who was obviously Batgirl, another partner of Batmans. He had seen her on TV at one point, but had never met her in real life. Even with where they were about to go, his thoughts strayed to the fact that she was hot.

Megan smiled at the red-head. "Hi! I'm M'Gann; but you can call me Megan." she said, not moving from where she was. Aqualad and Superboy went over to sit down, while Batman went over to take one of the vacant seats in the back, and Batgirl followed.

Kid Flash grinned. "So, does this mean we can finally go?" he asked, ignoring the curious look Batgirl was giving Redbird while turning around.

"I thought were were leaving to rescue Robin; so who's that?" She asked.

Before the speedster could react, Rick spoke up. "Not Robin, obviously. I'm just someone making sure nobody discovers his or Batmans identity." he told her, in a tone that clearly told her, that was all she needed to know. She got the message, and turning to face front.

Nobody talked as the bio-ship rose into the air, and started off towards the old Arkham Asylum. Wally had hoped he would never have to go there again. Asylums weren't fun, whether your a patient or not. Even with it being abandoned; that just made it creepier.

They all were silent throughout the whole ride; unless you count the usual bickering between him and Artemis. Batman had them shut-up the minute they started arguing, though. Arguing was something they never needed.

"So, what? Just pop in, get Robin back, then leave? What did that message in morse code say again? How did you get it?" KF started asking, until Batman turned to him, eyes narrowed.

"Hopefully, that's how it will work out, if luck happens to be on our side. The message was just telling us we had so many days to save him, and I got the message when Joker sent a video in morse code. You already knew that." he told him, before turning away. Not wanting to say anything else that would make him sound stupid, the speedster was quiet for the rest of the trip.

Once they reached the outside of the old Arkham Asylum, Kid Flash raced to get out first. He was last through the tubes; he didn't want to always be last. Also, he wanted to get out and find where his best friend was hidden. They had one, hopefully two, days to save him.

He waited outside impatiently for the rest. The only ones that seemed just as eager to save the Boy Wonder was Red Arrow, which he understood perfectly, and Red Bird. Did he really hate being a hero so much he couldn't wait to get away from it? That was a little... offensive.

"Hey, RB?" Wally walked over to the other. Redbird raised an eyebrow at him.

"RB?"

"Yeah. Short for 'Redbird'!" he said, grinning while Matt started to walk away. They all followed. "After this, are we going to see each other again?" he asked curiously.

He shrugged. "I'll see you plenty; not sure if you'll see me."

Wally raised an eyebrow. "That sounds very stalkerish, you know. What do you mean by-"

"You're on TV."

"Oh yeah." he said, as Red Arrow came up next to Redbird.

"I need to talk to you." The archer told him. RB looked hesitant, but he nodded, and they fell back so they wouldn't be overheard.

"Remember you two: Superboy has super hearing." he reminded them, as Matt turned to him and signaled for him to shut up. Just as he did, Batman moved him out of the way, and went into the hole in the ground.

Everyone else hesitated, and Aqualad was first to move, following. At this, everyone else followed. It was dark, and they could only just see each other. All around them, there was dirt; metal was around them as well, keeping the place from caving in.

"Stick together; make sure you're with at least one of your teammates at all times." Batman's voice said through the darkness. The group started moving stealthily through. Once or twice they came across a pipe in the ground, which Wally tripped over. Another pipe was higher; The speedster and Redbird had both managed to walk into it. That had sent the team, except Roy and Batman, into silent fits of laughter. They continued to walk, oblivious to the glares from their friends. Of course, they didn't even know if they were glaring at the right place.

"Ow! Wally, that was my foot." Artemis said from next to him. He looked over, and could just see her blonde hair. From that, he could tell she was facing him.

"Sorry Artie." he said, walking ahead of her.

She eventually came up next to him again. "How are we supposed to find Robin? Joker will find us before we find him in this place." she said. She had her bow in her hand, with an arrow. He could see she was tense.

He smiled at her through the darkness. "You're forgetting who we're with; Batman can probably see through this." he pointed out. Behind him, he heard Roy and Rick still talking. He could just catch their words.

"-you telling them?" Roy's voice; obviously.

"Hopefully never; nobody needs to know. You weren't supposed to know." Rick hissed back at him. "You just found out because the ball hit my face!"

He turned around, to ask what was wrong, just as a rubber ball flew at him and hit him in the face. "What the- dude, what was that for?" Wally asked; he lowered his voice when he realized he had been a little loud.

"That... wasn't us." Roy said, confused, before something hit him, knocking him against the wall. He hit the ground, and didn't move. Rick turned around to see their attacker, and ducked down just in time. Batman was over there withing seconds, his eyes scanning the area. While Rick walked over to Roy and pulled him away to the rest, Batman's eyes scanned the area. Seconds later, a huge hammer swung out, hitting him. He only staggered a bit before regaining his balance.

A loud laugh echoed through the darkness. "Batsy and the Jr. Justice League! I was wondering when you would shot up!" The Joker said, and they all watched as lights flicked on. "Do not ask how we got lights in here." he said, smile wider than usual. Behind him stood Harley and Robin.

It angered Kid Flash to see his best friend, controlled, and working with the Joker. He belonged with them; his friends. Then the thought that had been bothering him since his friend disappeared popped up. What if they were too late? Did the Joker do any permanent damage?

"Matt! I was wondering where you were; you're sister missed you." he said, putting his arms behind his back. "Robin, Harley; why don't you two bring our... guests to where they'll be staying?" he then asked. The Boy Wonder waited a second. In a short moment of hope, Wally wondered if his friend broke away from the control. Then he lunged at them with a knife.

Nobody was surprised when his target was Batman; or when the Dark Knight didn't fight back. How could he fight against his own son? Since he had been watching them, he didn't noticed when Harley came at him. He sped out of the way, and she changed her target to Artemis. She got her right in the head, causing the archers head to smash against a pipe. She fell unconscious.

"ARTEMIS!" Wally yelled angrily, and he lunged at the Jokers girlfriend. She smiled at him, which just made him angrier. As he ran at her again, she swung her giant hammer and knocked him into the wall next to Artemis.

He saw Robin beating the crap out of his mentor. Did he know what he was doing, just unable to stop himself? Or was he locked away? Or was he just... gone? Mentally, he winced at the idea. He wasn't gone; he was fine.

He watched as Robin kicked his father in the head, knocking him to the ground. Whether Batman was faking or was really unconscious, he didn't know.

"Is this going to happen every time we come to rescue you?" he groaned, as if he was talking to his best friend. Robin turned to look at him, and walked over. "Rob..." he looked up at him. He saw him smile; not in his way. In his 'im-gonna-get-you' way. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his teammates on the ground. He then saw Joker standing over a figure with a bloody knife. He couldn't make out who it was, but he was already worrying. What if Artemis was seriously hurt? Or Kaldur... or someone.

His eyes shifted back to Robin, just as the Boy Wonder aimed a kick right at his temple. First time, it just dazed him. "Dude; stop! Snap out of it!" he nearly yelled. The Joker's laugh started up again, as his friend kicked him again, knocking him unconscious.

:) Okay, I won't be updating Fridays anymore. It'll just be any time during the weekend.

My excuse for not posting Friday: I am re-writing In The Year, and it will be called 'Torn Wings'. It's all written, and should be posted some time this week.
