New Orleans
Five Years Later

"Long time no see Dickie Bird; kid's almost as good as his uncle, only poor kid's not a meta," the black haired male laughed, dropping down onto his previous teammate. "Who's the Nightwing copycat? Oh wait I forgot, Bruce got a new Baby Bat after I disappeared. Well, at least I don't. And, just so you know, I followed them in, made sure they didn't die. What happened to Timmy by the way? Isn't he suppose to be eleven, not like fifteen. I can tell it's not Jay-Bird, he would have longer hair."
Dick looked over at Derek Drake, dressed in a black muscle tanktop with his first emblem on it, a pair of red MX XS O FRAME Oakley Dirt Goggles on his black Demon Wolf hat, a pair of baggy Mondo shorts that Wally had had given him for his seventeeth birthday a little less than five years ago, a pair of combat boots, and two necklaces hanging around his neck, one with a Black Lantren ring, the other Wally had given him the day before Derek had disappeared. No wonder he was getting strange looks from the people of New Orleans, since it was the middle of winter. True it wasn't that cold compared to Gotham in the winter. "He got aged by something when he was nine. And my protegé's name is Adam Roman," Dick replied, trying not to tell his older brother about their younger one. "And how did they not see you? You're not exactly hard to see with a bunch of small green aliens." The two Bats climbed up to the top of a building so their conversation wouldn't be heard.
Derek flicked in and out of visiblity. "New power; well not exactly new, got it a few years ago. And I already know about Jason, and Ferret, and my daughter. Don't worry, knew you couldn't stop it. More pissed I couldn't stop it. Heard he's back too, two different alieses, Talon and Red Hood. Interesting. Figured Ferret would run, and Les, I don't know, she's like me," Derek told him, looking at the bars they passed. "How's Seth? And W-Wa-KF?" He couldn't even say his ex-boyfriend's name, it was pathetic.
"Seth's got a spot in the Justice League, but bet you knew that, probably at the induction cerimony; you and Leslie, maybe Ferret. No way you guys would miss something like that," Dick replied trying to lighten up Derek's mood. "KF... He was really torn up, did everything to try and find you. Hasn't given up on finding you. Gone for months at a time searching everywhere he can think of. How long have you been unfrozen?"
"The October after I disappeared," Derek replied, pulling a Coke out of his pocket, taking a long drink.
Dick stared at the older male for a long moment. "Why didn't you come back?" He nearly yelled.
"I wanted to find my brother; I was a danger to everyone! You don't know how much it killed me to stay away from Wally for five years. Last time I saw him, he was happy; sorry for not wanting to walk back into his life and ruining that. I always feared I'd miss too many years again, and he'd be dead, or he would have moved on. I fucking love him Dick. Not even Arsenal got under my skin like that, or Linda, or anyone! My wolf sees him as my mate; I'm sure you've researched it by now, that means I'm screwed if he hates me and never wants to see me again. He's got so much power over me, it's bloodcurdling. One word, I'd step in front of a train for him," Derek yelled, voice breaking. He slid the goggles over his eyes to hide the tears that were trying to spill out. The ginger streak fell over the edge of the goggle and out from under his hat. "Okay, real reason I'm here," Derek finally announced, his voice nearly steady. "I need you to find Andrew and Roy. Both of them are unfrozen, and as far as I'm aware still together. I had Andrew come get Roy when I escaped."
"Why didn't you take him with you?" Dick hissed at his brother angerly.
"Because he only had his arm chopped off, and I was on the verge of turning with Demon taking over, it wasn't safe for him. I told Andrew where he was and to fucking get him. I can't heal something that drastic anyways Dick; Andrew can. He could heal someone who had their body chopped in half as long as their heart's still beating," Derek growled. "I haven't found him yet, either of them, and I have bigger problems at the moment. So can you try and find them, please Dick, I'm begging you. He's twenty, I haven't seen him in over twenty years, that sentence alone doesn't make sense. Please, I want my twin back, my real twin. Not some clone. The twin I spent nine months in the womb with, the one Barry saved so I could basically send my bio-mom to her death bed. Please Dick."
"Can you give me any leads on where he might be?" Dick asked the demigod.
Derek shook his head but paused for a moment, "Well I can think of one."

Mount Justice

"John Constantine, also known as Hellblazer," Nightwing told the team, the picture of a brown haired man in a tan trench coat, matching slacks, a white dress shirt and black tie, a lit cigirette hanging between his lips. He looked at Ferret, who he hadn't seen in five years. She looked worse than when Derek disappeared. Her hair was no longer the purple she had dyed it but the dirty blond she was born. There were bags under her orange eyes and her uniform was tattered, also changed from the one she had back then.
She refused to go to Gotham and ran, but neither him, nor Batman could track her after her disappearance. He still wondered who convinced her to come back to the Mountain. Probably Raven, who had a way of finding people who ran. But then again so did Nighthawk. "He is a distant realitive of Andrew, Derek, and Robin, he also raised Andrew after Derek disappeared the second time and Jackson was married to Robin's mother. He was the last one to see Raccoon Man, thirteen years ago. Afterwards Raccoon Man moved in with Bruce Wayne until he was eighteen. I presume in the time before he moved in with Mr. Wayne was when he was cloned," Nightwing told them.
Jamie butted in, "So you believe that Vandle has been planning this since 2005?"
"Probably longer," Raven replied. "He is 50,000 years old Blue Beatle."
Robin stared at the man for a long time. He was related to this guy? How was that possible. True, he questioned how he was related to Leslie and Seth at one point in time, but this guy looked like a rebel tax accountaint. The image was replaced with two pictures of Andrew and Roy Harper. "These are the two men we are searching for." Ferret looked at Nightwing harshly, nearly attacking him as she stomped over to her ex-boyfriend. Her claws dug through the Kevlar suit when she grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the main hall.
"What the fuck Dick, you know as well as I do both of them have been MIA for eight and thirteen years; why the hell are you still looking for them? Better question why did you have your little brother drag me here just so you could slam the fact I don't have my older brother anymore in my face? I never had him, it was just a clone of him. He won't know me, even if we do find him. It's a waste of my time. Or are you going to lock me up so I don't run away again. Face it, Nightwing," she spat at the taller hero, glaring at him with a Leslie grade Phantomglare. "We're over, we have been for five years. You should have stayed with Zatanna. This is a deadend path, and it'll just let down anyone. Probably a good thing Wally isn't here, it'd kill him to get his hopes up with a way of finding Derek being a dud." She tried to push past him and to the Zeta-Beams but he grabbed her wrist and pinned her against the wall.
She growled at him, teeth extending into canines. He pinned her other hand to the wall when she tried to slap him. Dick gave her a hard Batglare, which compared to the Phantomglare, was like bringing a toothpick to a gun fight. "Listen to me Marcella Thalia Neff for a second before you try to kill me," he growled. Marc flinched at the younger male using her full name; it felt too much like when her mother was still alive, after the divorce. "Derek told me this himself; that Andrew and Roy are unfrozen and very possibly with this man. Don't even bring Wally or Zatanna into this. Maybe if you hadn't left, I wouldn't have been with Zatanna at all. You need to grow up and stop blaming all your problems on other people. Seeing how you are now, I'm glad you left. Damain isn't even as childish as you're acting right now. At fifteen, yeah I understood that; you're twenty now Marc, time to grow up. Whenever you decide to, still a spot for you on the team." He let go of her and walked back into the main hall, where the team was gawking at him.
Marc slid down the wall in shock, staring at the opposing wall for a few moments before pushing herself and walking back to where she was standing. "Ferret, Robin, and I will go to the last reported place John was reported to live; Raven, L'gann, you two will go to The Tate Club in..." He was cut off by Raven.
"I know where The Tate Club is Nightwing," she told him. "Depending on how you're getting there, might as well take the Bio-Ship to London, less of a hassle for me."
Recognized—Kid Flash, B04 "Okay then, try and find Constatine or learn of his whereabouts," Nightwing finished. "Blue Beatle, can you attempt to find Kid Flash?"
"What about me?" Wally asked behind his friend.
Dick cussed as he turned to face the ginger. Great, just what he needed to happen, especially with him here, in The Cave until, hopefully, they brought Andrew and Roy back. "Go to your room, you'll thank me later, maybe," Dick sighed. Wally's eyebrow went up before he spead to his room.
Music was blaring in it and it took a second for Wally to regester someone was in his room. He quickly punched in the code and entered the room. "Hey Wal, miss me?" Derek asked with a half smile on his face.

Well, horrible cliffy, and no worries Dick and Marc will have their make up moment soon enough. Now see that button below? Press, tell me how you liked it, follow, then submit. Do it, and you shall get Alfred cookies.
