"Look, Mark, I have some very important business to attend to. I don't think I have the time at the moment to-" Mark cut him off.

"Trust me, you will want to make time for this."

Bruce took a deep breath. He had much more important things to do, like finding Dick! "look i really don't have-"

"I know you're Batman, and Dick is Robin." Mark said quickly.

Bruce stopped. 'Did he just say what I think he just said?"

"Come in."

"Thank you." Mark said as he followed Bruce into the house.

With Dick:

He couldn't believe what had happened. Mark was really only here to get money off of him. He hadn't believed it at first, but the man had shown him a video of Mark. The video was an exchange between Mark and some guy named Daniels. Mark was buying drugs from them. The next video he was shown was of Mark telling them that he would get Dick for them.

To say that he was crushed was an understatement. Everything he thought was real was all just an act.

At some point during the videos the man had left the room. Dick was engulfed in his mind and he couldn't take his eyes off the screen, so he hadn't noticed when the man left.

Dick didn't know how long it had been since the man had left him alone in the empty room with nothing but the screen that had been playing the videos on repeat. After about the fifteenth time of watching Mark betray him, the screen went dead.

It could have been hours or minutes since he was left alone, but Dick didn't care about how long he had been here. The silence, though haunting, had given him time to think. He didn't feel betrayed anymore. He felt angry. That was the only emotion he was aware of now - the burning anger that coursed through his body.

He wanted to get Mark for what he did.

The door to the room opened and the man walked in. Dick sent him a glare and his eyes followed his every movement. All of his anger was focused in his eyes and came out in that glare.

"Look, kid, I know you are having a rough day, but there is no reason for the death glare." the man said as he walked around to stand in front of Dick.

Dick really wanted to yell at him and tell him that he doesn't know, but he couldn't find his voice, so instead he just stayed quiet.

The man looked at him with a blank stare. In that moment the man looked like a normal person instead of the psychopath that he was earlier.

"Well, if you aren't going to start up a conversation, then I will," the man said. "I'm sure you have some questions." he started. Dick kept the vicious glare on the man. "To start off, my name is Adam." The psychotic look was back in Adam's eye. "And the reason why we have you is-"

"because you want ransom money, I know." Dick finished.

Adam smiled. It wasn't a happy smile, it was a smile of pity. Dick resists the urge to raise an eyebrow. "I'm so sorry to be the one to tell you this…" he paused. "but that was a lie." Adam began to pace back and forth, but his eyes never left Richard.

At this Dick does raise an eyebrow. What else could these people want?

"I was instructed to lie to you, to keep everything on the down low until your brother was out of the way." he stopped pacing and faced me full on. "Oh don't worry!" he told him. "He is fine! We left him alive. We just needed him far enough away so that he couldn't get to you if he wanted to.

Richard spoke. "Why would I care if he was alive or not?" The venom in his voice was strong. He wasn't sure if he meant it or not, but he felt like he did and right now that was all he needed.

"Oh, you can't mean that." Adam said with mock shock. "It looks like I got you all wrong!" Adam leaned up against the wall in front of me next to the screen. "I thought you were all about giving people a second chance! At least that is why you don't kill criminals. isn't it?"

Richard's eyes widen. 'Did he just say what I think he just said?' he wondered. "What?"

"See, I knew you had some questions!" Adam said with a big smile. "Now let's get down to business."

Mark's POV:

"What do you know?" Bruce asked. "More importantly, how do you know?" He asks as soon as the door closes behind me.

"Look there is no time for that now. We need to-"

Bruce cut in. "So you come to my house and tell me you know my deepest secret and then tell me you don't have time to tell me how you know."

"If you want to know where Richard is then you had better shut up and listen to me!" I yelled, and he went silent. When he didn't say anything more I continued.

"Okay look, I messed up."

"You said that before. what exactly did you mess up?"

I swallow hard. "I didn't have a choice." My voice was shaking slightly. "It was either him or my wife - I had to choose."

His face fell. "Mark, what did you do?"

I sighed. "They have him, and I don't think they plan on giving him back."

Mount Justice:

"What do you mean he's gone?" Conner was the first to speak.

"I don't know!" Wally said.

"What do you mean you don't know!? You were the one on the phone!" Artemis shouted.

"I don't know!" Wally shouted again. "All I know is that Batman called me, which in itself means that something is really wrong, and asks about Rob! next thing I know he is telling me that he is gone, and then he just hangs up!"

"I hope he's okay!" M'ggan said.

"How was he taken?!" Zatanna asked, alarm in her voice.

"I don't know!" Wally shouted again.

"Tell us something we didn't already know!" Artemis yelled.

"Stop!" everyone stopped and looked at Kaldur.

"If Robin is missing, we should help find him. We are his team."

The team exchanged looks.

"Where do we start?" Conner asked.
