Hello! I'm sorry for the short chapters, but Map will in the end be a short story, just filling in the gaps between the first and the third. The reviews are all great, and for the disclaimer, see chapter one, oh, and I don't own any Harry Potter hints ;)
NIGHTWINGS POV
It was past midnight, and Nightwing was still awake, working on tracking the girls. Bella was still unconscious, Astrid and Grace were still missing, and the girls that had been found deep into worry.
He was thinking hard, why would Lydia break up with him? He needed a way to get her back, and started thinking about whatever she had said to him, back before Christmas.
INTRUDER ALERT, Nightwing spun round as the glowing light behind him diminished. He silently cursed the alarm, knowing the whole mountain was awake now. INTRUDER ALERT, the alarm paused for a second as the light faded completely, INTRUDER RECOGNIZED, ELOHIM B-27. Nightwing rushed over to the girl.
"Nightwing?" Astrid asked, barely having any energy to talk.
"Be quiet now, I'm taking you to the infirmary," He didn't need to speak, for Astrid was already unconscious. He laid her on the bed, and attached an IV line just before the doctors rushed in, and made him wait outside.
"Where is she?" Anna demanded, worried as she rounded the corner to the waiting room.
"The infirmity. We're not aloud in, the doctors are there," Nightwing blocked her path, glad Robin wasn't here tonight. Connor came up behind her and pulled her into a hug as her body was racked with sobs.
To door to the infirmary opened, revealing a tired and stressed looking doctor.
"She's alive," the doctor said, before continuing on about Astrids state.
"You go in, I'm going to tell Robin," Nightwing nodded towards Anna, and headed for the Batcave.
ANNA AND ASTRIDS POV
"Hey Astrid," Anna sat by her sisters bed, not really sure what to say.
"We only have to get Grace back now, and we'll all be fine. And Bellas on drugs, I'll take blackmail photos for you. You know we were missing for 9 days before we came back to Earth-16? It's strange, isn't it? Not having 9 days in our memory because we weren't anywhere. I was so worried about you," Anna leant forward and hugged her sister.
"I'll come visit tomorrow, OK?" The older girl said, before leaving the room, not letting her tears overflow.
BELLAS POV
Bella sat up in bed, the drugs that had kept her unconscious finally wearing off. She stood up, and looked around the infirmary. All was quiet, except the sound of two beeping machines. One of which she was attached to, the other Astrid was. Bella walked over to her friend, staring down at her.
"Trevor," she poked Astrid.
"Trevor wake up, I know you're a toad but wake up," Bella poked the angel again.
At that moment, Lydia walked in to visit her sister, and intercepted the third poke.
"Ginny!" Bella smiled, then, "Trevor, I told you to wake up."
"Bella," Lydia calmly laid a hand on Bella's shoulder. "Do you want to come to Narnia with me?"
"I'm not Bella, I'm Hermione. And... Narnia?" Bella, apparently now Hermione, squeaked, eyes rolling to the back of her skull as she fainted.
Lydia picked her sister up, and laid her back on her bed, before leaving the room again, glad her drugged sister wasn't too much hassle. Yet.
GRACES POV
Grace sipped from the river. It wasn't as clean as it could be, but it would have to do. She was living in the fruits and berries she found in the forest, traveling at night because it was cooler, and saved energy. She still had no clue were she was, and how the other girls were. But she was managing here, with the knife at her hip and food and water all around. In fact, she was even getting a tan. Running a hand through her hair, she walked on.
ROBIN AND BATMANS POV
"Anything on what the riddles answer Is?" Batman asked, turning to his protégé. Riddler was planning an attack on the city, and everything was hidden in the riddle he had given Batman.
"Not yet," Robin sighed. His full focus wasn't on the riddle, he had had no word if Astrid yet. NIGHTWING B-01 echoed from the zeta beam, as said vigilante walked in.
"Tim?" He asked, removing his mask. Tim knew it was serious from his older brothers tone.
"What is it?" Tim asked worried.
"We found Astrid," when Tim tried to push past him, he blocked the younger boys way.
"She's severely dehydrated, starving, lacking in vitamins and minerals. And her energy levels... I'm sorry Tim, the only way to keep her alive was if we put her into a medically induced coma."
