WatchTower: 12:22am
BATMAN: 02; SUPERMAN: 01; MARTIAN MANHUNTER: 07; GREEN ARROW: 08
It had taken longer than expected to reconstruct the zeta tube in the Batcave and re-download the WatchTower's transport beam access code. The zeta tube had been almost completely destroyed but luckily Bruce and J'onn, with the heavy help of Superman, had managed to salvage just enough.
The WatchTower was quiet and completely empty. The Batman, as they had all changed back into their costumes, walked towards the open area near the large window that showed the empty space between Earth and the JL's HQ. He pulled several holo-screens, typing in commands and accessing every file and security footage over the past year. Each screen played footage from a different month, sped up to show what happened.
"What day is it anyways?" Oliver asked watching the video from September as Dinah trained new JL members.
Clark watched as John Stewart sat in the medical ward with Dr. Mid-Night. "I thought it was March 13 or something?"
"Well its the fourteenth now. It's almost half past twelve. Think the kids are okay?"
As if on cue, a soft buzzing came from Clarks com. piece.
"Uh... Hello?"
"Its me." Conner's voice came through. "Just wanted to let you know that we found nothing so we're all going back home. Dick's already left for Gotham and M'gann's tired."
"Okay. Thank you. I'll tell the others."
He ended the conversation and looked at the heros.
"That was Conner. They didn't find anything so everyone is going home."
"What of Flash?" J'onn asked.
Clark was about to say he didn't know, when a new holo-screen appeared with Orin on it.
"Aquaman to WatchTower? Can you hear me?" The video feed was a bit fuzzy, Orin must have been able to access the WatchTower's communication frequency from his com unit.
"Thought you were supposed to be in Atlantis right now?" Oliver said sarcastically.
"Kaldur and I were on our way when he stopped for a moment, before attacking me."
"WHAT!?" Everyone, but Bruce, yelled.
"Orin what happened?" Clark asked.
"He told me to stay away from Atlantis for our own good. He knocked me unconscious and when I awoke he was gone. That was nearly two hours ago."
"Kaldur's gone rouge?" Oliver whispered, not wanting to believe it.
"I don't want to believe it either, but I afraid that we have to assume that he has... Until I can prove it otherwise." He eyed Bruce and Clark. "Before blacking out, I heard Kaldur speak to both Conner and Richard. He sounded as if he was giving orders that I could not hear nor understand."
FLASH: 04
Barry Allen, still dressed in his dumpster clothes, came zooming in and stopped next to Oliver finishing off an energy bar.
"Hey! What I miss? KidswenthomeandIgotalittlelostsoIheadedovertoStara ndkindofraidedOllie'sfridgeforaquicksnackandInotic ed
thatyouhadlikeatonofmessagessoIgotboredandwentthro ughsomeofthemand-"
"Barry! Calm down! God how many energy bars did you eat!?"
"Sorry. Metabolism gets pretty low after three years. I was saying that you got a message from Artemis like, five minutes ago. She said that Jade, her sister, called and said that Roy never came home. She wanted to know if you know where he might be."
"Roy's missing now too!?"
J'onn looked at Bruce, who was thinking the same thing as he was, "First Kaldur and now Roy? You don't think that someone is targeting them?"
Batman looked from J'onn to Barry to Orin. He thought for a moment, a million different scenarios going through his head at once, forming different plans for each one.
"Aquaman, can you get in contact with Tula from the WatchTower?"
"Possibly, though I do not know if she is with Kaldur."
"Risk it. Get a lock on her location and get her here as soon as possible. If Kaldur doesn't want un in Atlantis then we listen to that advice for now. Superman, call back Conner and M'gann and get them here. Flash and Arrow do the same with Wally and Artemis. If someone is targeting the team then we need to have them in one discrete location for their protection until we get this sorted out. Keep your com units open in case we need emergence contact."
Orin disappeared off screen and Oliver and Flash in a flash of zeta beam light. Bruce typed in coordinates into the zeta beam computer.
"So while you're we're on monitor duty, where are you going?" Clark asked seeing as how Bruce never asked J'onn and himself to go pick up their 'kids'.
"I'm getting Dick and Selina. Possibly Barbra as well. If what Orin said was true then Dick and Conner know something we don't then it's best if we question them somewhere they can't communicate with Kaldur."
Batman vanished into the light, leaving Clark and J'onn alone in the WT's main hall. Clark put his finger to his ear piece,
"Conner? Hey, you still there? Hello?"
A buzz of static and a groan answered the call. "I was kind of asleep for your information. No need to be loud."
"Sorry to wake you up, but we just got word that both Kaldur and Roy are missing."
"Roy's missing?"
"Yeah. Listen, Oliver and Barry went to get Artemis and Wally. Are you and M'gann okay?"
"Yeah... She's fine. We both are."
"Well we need you two to come to the WatchTower. We think someone is targeting the old team. Roy's disappeared and we think Kaldur's gone rouge."
"What!?" Behind Conner, M'gann asked what was wrong. He brushed her off. "Why would you think Kaldur's gone bad?"
"He attacked Orin on their way to Atlantis and left him unconscious. Orin said he heard Kaldur talk to you and Dick. Know anything about that?"
"I...I never got a call from Kaldur. He and Aquaman left five minutes after you did and I haven't heard from him since. Neither has M'gann."
"I still need you two to get here fast. Orin is going to try Tula and Wally and Artemis should be here along with-"
His com buzzed again, signaling another call coming through. Clark opened the line to both himself and, unknowingly, Conner.
"Superman."
Bruce's voice yelled into his ear, "Get J'onn and Barry down here now!"
"Bruce? What is it? What's wrong? Why Barry and-"
"Shut up Kent! Just do it! Selina's been shot!"
