"Red Robin," Damian addressed, face a little bit red, "I assume that you can handle this?" He tossed his communicator at Tim, who fumbled with the device, but caught it automatically, and hurriedly grappled to the next building.

Tim looked at the face on the screen. He too, almost dropped the device.

"Tim? Mind telling me what happened?" Barbara's voice crackled on the other end, and her face was stony and red with rage.

Tim was silent. He had never felt the Oracle's rage upon him, but he heard of the stories of the woman making even the Dark Night fidgety. It was a wonder how the happy-go-lucky Dick Grayson had been able to pair up with her. He had never been that close to her, but had known her through his girlfriend, Stephanie.

"What?" Tim said, after a few seconds. He did not want to feel the rage of Barbara, but he felt her pain. If Stephanie had gone missing for a day without a ransom note or any evidence, Tim would have wanted to know too.

"You know what I'm talking about! What happened? I tried to call Dick to get him to tell me, but his phone was off. I asked Bruce, and he pushed me off to Damian. I asked him, and he pushed me off to you. So tell me. What am I missing?" Barbara was clearly frustrated, her face now as red as her hair. She seethed, totally forgetting about the 'no names on the field' rule.

Tim sighed, and decided not to aggravate her more by pushing her off of him to Alfred.

"Nightwing's missing." He winced as the words rolled off his tongue, the look on Barbara's face was of pure anger and surprise. Maybe he shouldn't have told her.

"How long." Barbara's voice was cold and Tim was relieved that she didn't start screaming at him.

"Yesterday. Robin and I are investigating right now." Barbara didn't even thank him before blurting out.

"I'm sending Batgirl to your location." There was a click, and before Tim could respond, the screen turned black.

He sighed, and tucked the device into his Red Robin belt. He had not anticipated his girlfriend joining the investigation. If he was correct, than Bruce had not wanted anyone else to know of Dick's disappearance. He was glad that Stephanie was helping, he could deal with the Devil child Damian if she was there, but he didn't want Bruce to be mad at him because he had introduced another person to search for Dick. Oh well.

Tim took out his grappling gun and went in the direction that Robin had disappeared to. The darkness developed around him, wrapping him in a soothing comfortable feeling that he was completely used to. The shadows warped to show his body smoothly gliding over building after building. His black cape billowed out behind him, making a soothing noise. It didn't take long before he saw Damian on a random rooftop, waiting for him.

"Here." Tim tossed the communicator at Robin, whom gracefully caught it. "Thanks a lot." He added sarcastically, making a face at him underneath his mask.

"You're welcome." Damian smirked, and fiddled with the buttons on his communicator.

Tim rolled his eyes at Damian's cockiness. How did Dick deal with the child? He was so annoying and stuck up.

"She's sending in Batgirl." Tim informed him as he pulled out his own comm.

He jumped onto another building, he didn't need to use his grappling gun since it was close enough so that you couldn't even put a trashcan between the spaces. He heard Damian start talking, presumably to Bruce. Tim called Stephanie.

He had been very busy, and hadn't seen his girlfriend for at least a week. In fact, the two had been very busy with their hero work, Tim in Gotham and Stephanie training the new members of the Teen Titans.

"Hello?" Her melodious beautiful voice answered on the other end of the device. The background noises indicated that she was moving very quickly.

"Did Oracle tell you yet?" He asked, sitting down on the rooftop and leaning against one of the AC vents.

"Yeah. I'm coming over right now. I hitchhiked on this train that was going to Gotham." Tim chuckled, imagining her seated on the top of a train that was going about 70 mph, completely unaffected as the people inside of it stared and gawked.

"How long do you estimate it will take you to get here?" Tim looked at the blank screen of his comm. Stephanie did not have the camera on her communicator, since she hadn't been there when Damian had been kind enough to tinker with all the Bat' s communicators and update the systems. Tim wished that she had been there, he wanted to see her face.

"Well, if this train doesn't make stop, then maybe about 40 minutes." Stephanie answered, and Tim almost groaned. Forty minutes was a lot.

"Ok. We meeting up at the Batcave or…?" He started his sentence but trailed off at the end. Of course she was going to the Batcave, which was the whole reason that he was calling her; to tell her their coordinates. Tim inwardly groaned, and cursed his awkwardness.

There was a momentarily lapse of silence, and then Stephanie said something that reminded him of why they got together in the first place. "Sorry. I swallowed a bug."

The uncomfortable quiet was broken when she made him chuckle. Tim silently thanked her, smiling widely even though she couldn't see it.

An angry Damian, whom stormed up to Tim and snatched the communicator away from him, interrupting the moment.

"Is this Fatgirl?" Damian rudely spat, glaring at Tim while holding the device just out of his reach.

"Give that back!" Tim yelled jumping up grabbing at the communicator. Even though Damian was three heads shorter than him, Tim couldn't get the gadget from him.

'Stupid Damian and his stupid years of ninja training' Tim thought, as Damian lithely jumped onto the AC vents that he had been leaning on, and stuck his tongue out at him.

"Yeah, Batman called, he told me to give you these coordinates." Damian turned serious, his face stoning up, causing Tim to stop in his tracks, wondering why he was turned so cold all of a sudden.

"We're meeting at the Al Ghuls's." He didn't give Stephanie time to say anything, before he shut the communicator off and threw it at Tim. Damian abruptly turned, and started grappling his way off in the direction of the Wayne Manor.

Tim sighed and started after him.
