Chapter 7:
It hadn't even been a full minute after Wally left before Jim and a few other cops arrived. While Harvey Bullock and Renee Montoya started setting up the phone tracer in-case Deadshot decided to call, though Bruce thought that would be unlikely since Deadshot knew better than to call him after alerting the entire city that he had taken his son 'Or at least he should', Jim sat next to Bruce and looked a little confused when he saw Barry sitting on the opposite side,
"And who is this" He asked Bruce
"I'm Barry, a friend of Bruce's, I saw the footage and came over as fast as I could" Barry answered smiling weakly. Jim looked at Bruce for conformation,
"Barry is basically Dick's uncle" Bruce told him. "Have you found anything yet?"
"No sorry Bruce but we couldn't find anything in the video that was helpful and Deadshot didn't say when he would contact you"
Then the TV flickered once again showing Dick. He looked even worse now, he was covered in deep cuts and lots of blood was running down his left leg starting from his thigh. Barry gasped and felt a few tears fall down his face. The only other difference was that Dick was lying on the floor concious this time.
["Hello again everyone, I just wanted to give you a heads up on where I want you to deliver the money, Gotham docks pier 14 and just to remind you to hurry up" he pulled out his gun and shot Dick in his right shoulder just below the collarbone, Dick screamed loudly in pure agony "See ya round Brucey" Deadshot said merrily then it ended]
Bruce was truly terrified now. His heart broke when he heard Dick scream. He looked over at Barry who had a few tears falling down his face and a look of pure terror as did Bruce. The room was dead silent until Bruce stood up and grabbed the ransom money.
Jim stood up "No Bruce, your not paying the ransom, you still have 3 hours left"
"But Dick might not have that long"
"I'm sorry Bruce but I can't let you go yet, wait 1 hour"
"Fine, 1 hour"
Then Miss Martian walked into the room,
"Sorry if I am intruding but I was sent to ask you some questions"
"Who sent you?" Bruce asked her clearly angry
"Batman, Sir"
Bruce made a mental note to have a chat with Wally.
"Ask away"

Megan had been let in by a british man, 'Probably the butler' Megan thought, that didn't seem at all shocked to see a green girl at his front door.
"Uh... Can I come in?" She asked
The butler nodded and opened the door for her.
Megan stood in the doorway to the living room taking in the scene around her, there were 3 people on the couch she only recognized 2 of them, Bruce Wayne and Commissioner Gordon but the 3rd man looked the least traught 'I need to spend less time with Robin' she thought as she was about to enter the room the TV changed images.
Revealing a small boy laying on the floor covered in blood with a really bad stab wound on his left thigh still tied to the chair. Megan held back a gasp and felt worry take over her mind as she watched the tape.
["Hello again everyone, I just wanted to give you a heads up on where I want you to deliver the money, Gotham docks pier 14 and just to remind you to hurry up" he pulled out his gun and shot Dick in his right shoulder just below the collarbone, Dick screamed loudly in pure agony "See ya round Brucey" Deadshot said merrily then it ended]
When Megan re-gained her ability to move and breathe she walked into the room after half listening to Bruce and the Commissioner argue.
"Sorry if I am intruding but I was sent to ask you some questions"
"Who sent you?" Bruce asked her clearly angry
"Batman, Sir"
"Ask away"
