Druiza: Okay here's this one :)
Warning: there is a bit of torture and reference to sexual things.
The song that goes with this is 'Roses' by Seether.

"Little bird, little bird come out~" His voice was soft but taunting, "You can't hide forever."
Robin curled tighter into himself trying to block out His voice. His voice always meant pain and Robin doesn't like pain.
He can't remember how long he's been here. He's tried but as the days blurred into weeks it was hopeless to keep track. It wasn't like he was coherent enough to know anyway.
Footsteps echoed closer to where the young boy was hiding. Robin's heart was beating faster and he began to tremble in fear.
"I grow tired of this game," His soft voice turned harsh, "come out now!"
Robin flinched and scooted backwards into something. It was a stand holding an elegant vase with plumb blossom branches and it toppled over at then sudden push. Vivid blue eyes widen in horror as he watched the vase fall and smash to pieces. Quickly he stood up muttering apologies. The man quickly hurried over to Robin. His normally beautiful face twisted in anger.
"How dare you!" He back handed the boy who held fast, "I offer my home to you and love and this is how you repay me?!"
Terrified Robin assumed the position that was beaten into him the first few days he was here. He also learned that He liked it when he obeyed. He knelt on the hard wood with his head bowed and hands behind him. The man's painted lips twisted into a cruel smile.
"Oh pretty, pretty bird" He cooed
It took all his will power not to flinch from His touch as caressed his raven locks.
"I need to teach you another lesson" He purred grinning viciously.
Robin's lips trembled as his eyes filled with tears, and his whole body shook with fear. He grabbed the little bird and took back to the bedroom

It's been almost three months since the Boy Wonder was taken. Everyone was looking for him but with nothing to go on they were just guessing. Batman had the young justice team bring in every villain they come across. However that turned up nothing.
Superboy blamed himself, if just held on tighter than maybe this wouldn't have happened. He was one of the few continuing to look everywhere. The guilt pushing him on. He never told anyone what happened, it was something he pushed into the back of his mind.
And Batman, well no one saw him since Robin vanished. Only when he demanded that they go find someone else or check that lead out. Now he wasn't easy to get along with but now he was down right harsh.
When they first got word that he was missing no one could believe it. They were all stunned. It just didn't happen to them. They were sidekicks, they got roughed up a bit. Never kidnapped. Each one took it hard, but Wally refused to believe he was gone.
This was changing them and not for the better.

He screamed as He added another cut across his back. The man giggled running his manicured hands down the going boys back.
"You sing so beautifully little bird."
The man stood up and sneered down at Robin.
"Yet you're an ugly bird," He said kicking Robin, "I will change that. I just need more time."
He fell over from the kick, today's lesson stole the energy out of him. The man left his there bleeding, he knew it wasn't enough to kill. Only to name him suffer. Robin tried to remain strong, he really did! But as the time went on his will was weakening. Who ever held him captive was good with physiological torture.
The man who kept him here confused him. He was kind to Robin but...but he was also mean to him too. It made him afraid. But if Robin was a good boy he would get rewarded! Robin wanted to be good.
~•~
The search was all but hopeless. As much as they missed Robin they knew they had a duty to protect the world. As months became years slowly the heroes assumed the youngest of them was dead.
Batman became self destructive. His identity as Bruce Wayne went from a playboy to a drunk. For once the crime in Gothem was not a problem. They were afraid of this new Batman. Not even the Joker dared cross his path. It was all over the that Robin was missing, and messing with Daddy Bats right now was suicide.
However the it was the young justice that took it just as hard. They refused to acknowledge Boy Wonder was dead. He was their Robin, the one who smiled and joked no matter what happened. He made them feel better and helped them out on missions with his experience in the field. With him missing things were more stained than normal.
Kid Flash and Superboy were at each other's throats. Blaming the other for Robin's disappearance. Conner blamed him for hurting Robin, for driving him away. Wally blamed Conner, he want as stupid as people thought. He was a science nerd; managed to create the accident that gave him his powers. He knew something was up. One didn't go from knowing about sex to the seductive boy he knew in bed. Wally would never accuse Robin of cheating, but one had to wonder.
The pain loosing someone came as a shock. It hit them just how dangerousthis line of work was. M'gann and Wally grew apart, which hurt the alien. She knew almost nothing about Earth's culture and it was his help that she was able to fit in. However she just smiled and tried to ignore it while crying at night.
Artemist was new and hardly knew the younger boy. She did her job as she always did. It didn't really affect her that much, but she did see an opportunity to get closer to the grieving members. Especially that Wally, he was cute. Now if only she could get that stupid girl away.

He knelt next to his master's feet, his head was resting on his master's thigh. My handwas carding through the long raven hair of my pet bird. It was hard and harrowing to train this bird. He resisted and fought back, refusing to follow instructions. I hated punishing him but he needed to learn. But withhis guidance his little bird was magnificent. He sang beautifully and the way he moved was captivating.
It saddened me I couldn't get him sooner, it would have been easier. Nonetheless everything worked out. He had his pet and my how he turned out. Now with his little bird at the ripe age of fifteen, he was ready.
Oh no, I never took the pretty bird. I prepared him though. Getting him ready for the up coming tasks. Soon I will have what I need.
Yes, very soon.
I stood motioning my pet to do the same.
"Come pretty bird, we have much to do"
He looked up at me with emotionless blue eyes, "Yes master."

"Are you sure we should be here?" Kaulder asked skeptically looking around the dirty, empty building.
"Yes. God, calm down I know how to read," the archer mumbled.
They were the only two at Mount. Justice when the note arrived on a robin. Artemist was the only one in the room when it got there. Thinking nothing of it her and Kaldur went alone.
They were sneaking quietly into the building. Looking for any sign of life. How ever none of them saw the blurt that ran past them.
"Kaldur. Artemist," the voice was quiet and soft.
They whirled around to face the voice and what they saw made their eyes widen.
"Robin," the dark whispered, "is that really you?"
The person who stood in front of them looked like the Robin they knew. His outfit was ripped and torn and he looked to be bleeding.
As Kaldur stepped forward to help a muffled cry was heard. Turning swiftly he saw Artemist knocked out and in a masked strangers arms. This new guy wore a mask that resembled a bird; it was white with red rimming the eyes and edges. His hair was black and long, it flowed over his shoulders and down his back.
The Alantian turned back to the boy to see him grinning and his form shift and change itself. The robin look alike changed into a tall feminine man that wore a tight fitting dress and sandy brown that was curled.
"Do you like him?" the man's painted pinks smiled at the question.
The teen glared at him, "What do you want?"
The man motioned for the other guy to come forward. He was still holding on to the archer.
"Oh it's not what I want," his manicured hand played with the masked man's hair, "it's what my pretty bird wants."
Kaldur's eyes never left the masked figure. He felt familiar to him some how.
"And what does he want?" he asked carefully.
The man walked forward, his high heels clicking with each step. He threw a folded note and the sidekick caught it.
"That's all you need," the man turned and walked away, "come pet. We have more to do."
The smaller male nodded and followed after the crossdresser.
Kaldur stood frozen unable to comprehend what just happened. He knew that the League needed to be informed right a way.
