Sorry for the wait, but I'm losing steam with this. Much more interested in Divided at the moment.

Yes, it's short. Oh well.

Anyway, enjoy the chapter. This story is starting to come to a close, so enjoy it while you can.

DISCLAIMER: Yeah, no. Uh uh. Not gonna happen.

The team decided to split up in an attempt to cover more ground to find their missing teammates. Red Hood had muttered something about how maybe that wasn't the best idea, since none of them knew how the heck to survive Gotham despite the extensive study session. Regardless of his protests, they had split up. Unfortunately, it hadn't made much of a difference.

It was nearing dawn, and the team was still no closer to finding Robin, Batgirl, and Kid Flash. They knew that if they didn't find them son, Batman would likely murder them. Violently. With help from Catwoman. And Flash.

Aqualad's voice sounded over the link.

Everyone, meet back at Wayne Towers. We need to regroup and come up with a new strategy.

Will it make any difference? Superboy grumbled. Batman's going to murder us anyway.

Aqualad bit back a sigh. Yes, it will make a difference. If we can find him before we are to meet at the cave, perhaps we can hide this from Batman.

Good luck with that. Artemis muttered. Batman knows everything that happens in Gotham. He'll know about this.

Then why isn't he here helping us?

Add another bullet onto the list of things that don't add up about this. Artemis retorted. Look, something is going on here, and we're not in on it.

Artemis is right. Megan said quietly. Robin, Batgirl, and Kid Flash were expecting something like this. They were blocking their thoughts from me, but Wally isn't so good. He was anticipating that something would happen… something more than just routine crime.

Everyone turned towards her.

And you didn't tell us this earlier why?

I didn't think it mattered. Megan shrugged.

By this point, everyone was on the roof.

"Alright." Aqualad said. "What we normally would do is not working. We need a new plan- something that will work in this environment. Red Hood, Red Robin, perhaps you can help us with this. How do Batman and Robin track down criminals?"

Hood thought for a moment. "Well, first off, they investigate the crime scene. Look for clues there."

"Perhaps we should return to the warehouse then." Aqualad suggested. Hood shook his head. "Abandoned warehouses don't stay abandoned for long in Gotham. Someone will probably have been there already tonight; plus, any evidence would be old. That's probably going to be a no-go. That's why Batman always goes there first."

"Alright. What do they do next?"

"Bring up their file on the Batcomputer." Red Robin answered promptly. "Look at old hideouts and stuff."

"Well, going back to the cave is out." Hood mused. "Red, you got your hologlove?"

In answer, Red Robin brought up Poison Ivy's file on his glove. "No fair." Artemis muttered. "Bats have all the cool toys."

RR grinned at her. "OK, typical hideouts. Um.. parks-"

"Nope. We would have noticed by now."

"-Wherever Babs is-"

"That doesn't really help us."

"-oh, greenhouse, duh. 9 times out of 10."

"Greenhouse it is." Hood grinned. "And I know which one's closest to that warehouse. C'mon!"

"Well, it's about time." Batman growled. "They have no observational skills. And did they really not realize that I would have Wayne Towers completely covered?"

"Well, they're certainly not up to Bat standards." Alfred commented. "They're young and mostly untrained, Master Bruce. Perhaps you should remedy that."

"Oh, I will." Batman muttered. "If this had been a real captive situation, Robin could be dead by now. This is not acceptable."

He glanced over to another window- one showing Robin, Batgirl, Kid Flash, and the various villains that had 'kidnapped' them. Well, at least they were having a good time.

I have nothing to say down here.
