Wally didn't feel training, he really couldn't knowing that his best friend was out there somewhere. Most likely in trouble. You can't really be the boy wonder and not get in to trouble, well any super hero in general. Black Canary, though also worried, decided they still needed to train. Wherever Dick was he could handle himself until the league found him, he was trained for a reason. BC called Artemis and Kaldur to spar and as they where entering the arena BC received a message through her com.
"Black Canary I need you here now." Came the deep, commanding voice of Batman.
"What is it?" Black Canary started towards the door of the training room ushering the team to follow.
"I'm receiving a video message from the Joker, concerning Dick."
She and the team ran to the main room of the mountain where Batman was waiting. On a large screen you could see the face of the Joker, Wally shivered. Batman had the video paused so they could watch it with him.
"Hello Batman, I bet your wondering where your precious boy wonder is aren't you. Well I can give you a hint," the Joker's eyes looked odd to the side. Then he moved the camera to face Dick, Dick looked angry, more angry then anyone had ever seen him before, but also very scared, "He's right here. You have three hours to find him or he will go BOOM!" as he said revealing the large bomb. "Or maybe if you don't want him to go BOOM! You could just pay me $10 million and I will simply tell you where he is. Anyways gotta run I've got places to be people to kill you know regular errands. Toodeloo." The video ended and everyone stared wide-eyed.
"What are we gonna do Batman?" M'gann was the first to speak up.
Batman turned to look at the team. "You will search all of Gothom city, leave no stone unturned. I will send some of the leaguers to help look for him. I myself will try and trace this video and find out where it was sent from. Batman zeta-tuned back to the Bat Cave and began his trace. He busily typed unable to think about anything else but Dick's face in that video. He thought back on the year he adopted him and the great times they had as a family, well when they weren't in costume. He was not going to let anything happen to Dick, ever. He jumped out of his chair when his computer froze and began flashing strange images and sentences. A few moment later it burst into flames melting into a blob of metal.
"Aww crap, Joker must have had one of his buddies set up a new virus." He knew he could have avoided it but must have been to distracted to notice it before it took over the computer. I most likely lost the video so he could no longer try and trace it. He raced from the Bat Cave to help the team and the league in the search, since his computer was now useless.
Wally raced up and down the streets of Gothom running into creepy warehouses and old abandoned apartment buildings. Typical places a criminal would be. M'gann was flying over each building trying to sense if Dick was in any of them. Artemis, Conner, and Kaldur where helping Wally and checking some of Joker's past hideouts. None of them proved any good. The team regrouped in the center of Gothom hoping that one or the other found something good.
"I looked everywhere and didn't see anything." Wally panted a little. His stomach growled but he ignored it.
"I mind swept each building but I couldn't sense him." M'gann said also a little tired from so much flying around and mind work.
"We checked the Joker's old hide outs but didn't find anything either." Conner spoke up before sitting down on a nearby bench.
Wally could smell hotdogs a little ways away. He really wanted one but he knew he needed to Keep searching for Dick. "Ok maybe just one." He thought to himself. He sped over to the hotdog cart and grabbed a hotdog eating it quickly as he walked back over to his team. "Maybe it's a good thing I got this I was feeling a little woozy." He thought as he swallowed the last bite. Suddenly Batman appeared in an alley behind them telling them to follow him. Once everyone was there he spoke.
"Ok so my computer is fried and I lost the video so I was unable to trace the video. Did any of you have any luck locating Dick?" Batman seemed different when he spoke, much more frantic then usual.
"No sir, we couldn't find him anywhere I swept over the buildings and Wally checked all abandoned warehouses and such while Kaldur and the rest searched his old hideouts. We have nothing." M'gann's eyes started to fill with tears as she thought of loosing a friend as good as Dick. "No!" She reassured herself, "He'll be fine."
Dick looked down and the bomb sitting at his feet.
"2 hours left," Dick couldn't stand that he could not move. He stared at the bomb watching each second go bye, "Come on Batman where are you."
