Author's Note: Not much to say here, the language I'm using for the League of Shadows is Indonesian because they are normally and mostly biased in that area of the world and it's a language they are hoping Batman hasn't taught Robin yet. I only did minimal research for the plant that she uses to recognize where she is so my apologies if I get it wrong… So I'm just gonna give the usual disclaimer, I own nothing! Please review and enjoy.

2. Daggers Log

When Talia finally removed the blindfold they were in a simple room that looked very Japanese in its style, the paper walls and the sliding doors. There was a set of clothing waiting folded on the pillow of the Japanese style cot. They were black and looked similar to what Talia was wearing. Talia motioned for her to change out of her soaked silk pajamas. Diane eyed Talia closely. Talia smiled.

"Oh come now little Robin, don't tell me you're shy. I know my love better than you think, he'll have taught you everything he knows, maybe more, but he'll have taught you to find a way out the second you are left alone. You aren't going to get that chance, not yet anyway little one but I can't blame you for trying." Diane's eyes narrowed and Talia smiled recognizing it as the same glare her beloved gave when he was angry. But just as quickly it disappeared and Diane's face was back to the stoic analyzing expression she'd had even while blindfolded.

"I really don't want to hear about you and Bruce, seriously way too much information." Diane shuddered and stuck out her tongue. She turned around and began to change into the clothes they had provided for her. As she did she spoke, she had used this tactic a lot against almost every member of the Rouges Gallery, talk to stall and maybe get information out of them. Most of the time when Robin was caught it was done intentionally to get information. Batman hated this tactic of hers and constantly told her to stop, that she was going to get herself killed but she almost never listened.

"You guys know my size? That is beyond creepy. Do I even want to know how you guys know that?" Talia knew what Diane was doing, she was trying to gather information. She wouldn't get much out of Talia. She seemed to have given up on trying to figure out how she had come to be in this situation for the moment at least. Talia doubted she would ask directly mostly because she wouldn't trust Talia's word and with good reason.

"Woman's intuition." Talia responded and Diane laughed.

"Bullshit. But funny, I'll give you a few points there. Most of the Rouges can't really joke around very well." Diane finished zipping up the Kevlar suit. It made her feel a bit more relaxed to be back in some kind of protective gear again. Talia would have figured that it would probably make her more cooperative if she had some kind of protection but she was wrong. Diane wasn't going to be cooperative any more than she absolutely had to. She had figured out that she was somewhere deep in the territory of the League of Shadows, hence the blindfold. They didn't want her to see anything of importance. But they had to bring her here. Why? The answer to that was obvious, the Lazarus Pit. So she clearly hadn't been in any shape to do anything at all when they got her. And she'd been out of uniform. In her pajamas no less. There were a few ways that might have been the case but she couldn't be sure of the exact circumstances. She also knew that there was only one way that batman could track her now. She needed a computer, a cell phone something, anything, with internet access. But it looked like that was going to have to wait as Talia stood once more holding out the blindfold. Diane grinned slightly.

"It's like you don't trust me or something." Talia smirked.

"Would you?"

"Touché." Diane allowed Talia to retie the blindfold. When she finished she must have pulled a length of rope from somewhere because Diane felt her tying her hands together behind her back. Diane was starting to get some of her strength back, Talia was smarter than she looked. Diane felt Talia leading her out of the room and down several hallways. Diane was counting her footsteps and storing away the relative size of the parts of the compound she had been in and the noises, though few, she heard around her. She heard a set of doors opening and fresh air met her nose. Flowers and the ocean, a coast or an Island then. She took a deep breath tasting the air, Batman had taught her how to figure out where she was with a sensory impediment pretty early on and that skill had served her well so far, it wasn't about to fail her now. She recognized one of the flowers and heard a helicopter landing. She was led, rather gently given her other experiences with kidnappings both as Diane and as Robin, to the helicopter as she went over plants in her mind. It was a flower. It took her a moment to place it. She took another deep breath and it clicked.

It was a flower commonly called Dagger's log or Batta Lob, the flowering staff of the Agave plant, a member of the lily family and it only grew on the Caribbean Islands. Diane grinned. She had some kind of baring now and that gave her at least a card to play. She was loaded onto the helicopter and strapped into one of the seats. She could hear Talia shouting over the sounds of the rotating blades of the helicopter.

"Sekarang kita pergi ke makam gipsi." Diane knew that language. It took her a second to place it but she did as the pilot responded.

"Tentu saja Talia." Indonesian. They must be hoping she didn't speak it. Diane just about told them that she did in fact speak it and probably most of the other languages they could throw at her but there was no need to dash their hopes just yet. Diane had to work hard to keep her face straight as she settled into the chair and waited to make her move.
