Without a Trace

Batgirl POV's

Nothing. We couldn't find anything, no trace of the first Robin's whereabouts. I can feel the frustration, anger, and hopelessness radiating of those around me. I felt all of those feeling myself, no trace of my best friend. "Dick where are you?" I ask silently looking upwards at the star filled sky as I stood with the Team, Jason, and Bruce in the rubble of the building. I was regretting not accepting the invitation to join the team of young heroes more and more as we searched, maybe if I was here I could have made a difference. But I had turned it down out of jealousy, not wanting to meet those who were taking up more of Dick's time so I couldn't see him, to meet her his girlfriend. I remember the hurt look on his face when I had rejected his invite and I felt guilt rise in my stomach. I look around at his teammates, who were searching signs of him despite their injures. I wanted to hate them from the moment I had stepped into the Mountain, for getting Dick in this situation, but I couldn't seeing their grief stricken faces, and now how they refused to give up. I couldn't hate them only myself for not being there for him. "Dick I promise, I'll do everything I can to find you and fix this, I'll join the team"

"Hey Batgirl are you alright?" I hear a voice snapping me from my trance.

"What yeah Robin," the name felt like poison in my mouth, a horrible betrayal "I'm fine" I lie gazing down at Jason. The kid may act like he was untouchable, invulnerable but I could tell the disappearance of Dick was affecting him.

"Sure ya are" he remarks sarcastically gazing at the other heroes. We start to move rubble again, we he stops giving me a serious look. "Barbra? he asks nervously, keeping his voice low.

"What's up Jay?" I ask, same level of volume. I throw the piece of building aside and look at him.

"Is Dick really okay?" he asks his voice uncharacteristically vulnerable.

"I'm sure he's fine Jay, he's Robin right? First partner and the Boy Wonder?" I reassure him, trying to keep my own doubt in check. Jason looked so small in the Robin suit despite being taller then Dick. The 12 year old? didn't carry himself with the same confidence Dick did, does, likely because of the situation. Another dead giveaway that was not well, Jason has also been a cocky, sarcastic, violent person due to his upbringing and this quiet, sullen, serious side of him was so... wrong it screamed trouble.

"That he may be but he's human too Barbara, just human" Jay responds looking down. I give his shoulder a quick squeeze,noticing the blood my hand left behind on his suit. At that moment Bruce walks over to us and gives us both a look, before following with a small shake of his head that said more then any words could.

"He's not here and there is no move evidence beside the blood, we need to look elsewhere to find out who took him" Bruce says loudly so to spread to everyone else who was searching with us. The Team stops were they are, dropping the rubble, looking defeated, using each other for support due to their injures.

"But what will we do now?" Wally asks, looking the 2nd worse out of all his teammates, the girl with raven hair, Zatanna, taking first just standing there looking shocked and on the verge of breaking down.

"You will perform on missions as usual with Batgirl and Robin filling in for the meantime as I search for Robin" Bruce replies.

"What no way, we want to help!" Yells the archer, standing close to Wally, using him as a crutch. Her name was Artemis I think.

"You will be helping, the Team will be assisting us," Bruce says gesturing to Jay and I, "in Gotham so I have more time to search and I will keep you posted." Artemis opens her mouth to say more but Bruce silences her with a glare. "This matter is closed, Batgirl, Robin with me " Bruce says turning away and leading the two us us to the Batwing, leaving the Team to take their red ship, Bio-ship if I heard correctly. We board swiftly, taking of the moment we sit and I pull down my cowl allowing myself to become Barbara, the other two doing the same becoming their respective identities.

"Bruce?" I ask. The playboy, billionaire turned vigilante glances to me. "What are we going to tell Alfred?"

Zatanna's POV

Numbness sets in, paralyzing me as Batman calls off the search. My head still throbbing with my injury but the pain there did nothing to compare to the pain in my heart, if I hadn't gotten hurt Robin would be fine, laughing next to me on the couch as the Team celebrated the mission with a movie and popcorn. I feel a gentle pull on my arm, Rocket, and allow my friend to lead me to the Bio-Ship, instantly gravitating for a seat in the corner, sitting there and staring out the window listlessly, pulling my knees to my chest. I feel the burning stares of worry from my teammates but ignore them, trying not to cry. Not yet Zatanna, wait until you're alone. The ship lifts up from the ground, soaring through the sky only serving as a farther reminder as the one missing, he loved the air. My gaze shifts to his empty seat for an instant and I immediately wished I hadn't, nausea filling me at the sight of it, my gaze going back to the bright blue of the sky in an instant. White clouds dot here and there and I find the exhaustion finally setting into my bones, weighing on my eyelids. Another glance to the TEam confirms I wasn't the only one, Artemis using Wally as a pillow as they both dozed however before I can join them we reach the base and the couple perk up, leading the trudge out of the ship, the blonde and red head to the couch joined by Kaldur, Conner to the training room, M'Gann to the kitchen Raquel following to help leaving me a clear way to my room which I head to swiftly, unlocking the door and re-locking it behind me before collapsing onto my bed and sobbing my heart out. "I'm sorry Robin, I'm so sorry" I think aloud before passing out from the trauma of the last missions events.

Okay the explosion at Wally's house will be covered next chapter, in the timeline we can say it just happened or will happen in the very near future, anyway please, please
