Hey everybody! I got a lot of reviews over night! I think that's awesome. I love my fans! Shout out to the Whomping Pillow, shadowtail43, and GGCharms!

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters below.

Batman looked at his watch for the fourth time that night. The team was to be back hours ago. He looked up at the other Leaguer's and saw them trying (key word) not to freak out. Zatara and Barry was failing horribly. Barry got tired of waiting and jumped from his chair.

"That's it! It can't take it anymore. Where are they?!" Flash screamed.

Suddenly the video projector turned on and a dark figure was shown on the screen. Batman was the first to react, you know being the leader and all.

"Who are you?"

"Oh, Bruce. I thought you were the World's Greatest Detective."

"Adam."

"Yep."

He stepped into the light it was truly revealed to be Adam a.k.a Shadow Walker. He was dressed in a black over coat

"What do you want?" Superman asked.

"Clark, it's not what I want. It's what you want. All of you."

Everyone looked at Batman who just stared at the screen.

"Haven't the sidekicks been gone a little too long?"

Everyone's eyes widened as they realized what the man was saying.

"What did you do to them?!" Zatara yelled.

"Relax magician. You daughter and her team are fine. For now."

"Where are they?!" Flash screamed.

He moved out of the way and revealed the Team chained to a wall with their hands above their heads. M'Gann had a cut above her eye, but was other wise alright.

"See they're fine"

"Let them go now." Bruce growled.

"No. You all have to earn them back."

"How?" Wonderwoman asked.

"Simple. Get my brother out of jail."

"Absolutely not." Aquaman stated.

"I suggest that you all think about your answers again."

"Why?" Billy said speaking up.

"Because if you don't do what I say, your little sidekicks won't be the only ones dying."

Adam turned the camera around and revealed something so shocking that it made everyone's jaw drop. The whole League's family were chained in this room. Here's the list of people who are there.

Superman: Ma, Pa, Conner, and Lois.

Batman: Robin and Alfred.

Wonderwoman: Queen Hippolyta ( mother)

"As you can see, I've been very busy. Now, if my brother isn't out of jail by midnight tomorrow and brought to the location I'm sending you, they all die and I'll make you all watch. What is your answer?"

Most of the Leaguer were scared and some were even crying. Hawkman had to hold his wife back just to keep her from smashing the screen. Shayera was crying into his chest. Hector was only 19. Barely an adult.

"We'll do it." Batman stated trying to keep calm.

"Smart choice. I guess you have received the location."

Batman's communicator beeped and the location appeared on it.

"Yes."

"Good. I will be calling every 6 hours for updates. If someone doesn't answer, someone loses a body part. I want my brother in mint condition, that means not ruffing him up. By tomorrow at 11:00 pm, I want to see him in this room, on camera or someone loses their life. Understood?"

"Yes."

"Very good. See you in 6 hours."

The screen went blank.
