A/N: Hello everyone! I was meaning to get this chapter up sooner, but I got a new laptop for Christmas! so I've spent the past few days getting it all set up. So this it the first fanfic chapter to be uploaded from my new laptop! YAY!
I hope you all like this chapter. =) Now on to the story!
Disclaimer: If I owned it would I really be writing fanfiction for it?
"What is your name?" I ask.
"A-Amber." She calls back. "Amber Grayson."
My eyes widen. No!
'This isn't right!'
Richard thought.
'The guy said that Mark brought them me so they wouldn't take Amber, so how can she be here?'
"W-what?" He asks shocked, unable to hid the studer in his voice.
"I said, My name is Amber Grayson." She repeated.
Who ever was here with here sounded like a young boy. he must be just as scared as she is.
"What is yours?" Amber asks.
There was a moment before he answered.
"Richard… Grayson." He hesitated before he said his last name.
Amber's gasp echoed through the room. 'Did he just say… Grayson?' She thought. 'No, no it couldn't be.'
"You can't be." She finally stated. "Mark chose Richard." She said and the remainder of that fact made her heart hurt.
'That's it.' She thought. 'They are just trying to mess with my head.'
"No. He chose you." Richard's broken voice floated through the darkness. He had intended it to be a whisper but it echoed through the room.
Amber blinked in confusion. "What?"
Dick sighed. "I was there when he got the call telling him that he needed to kidnap me or else they would get you." Dick said the word 'he' instead of Mark's name. He never wanted to say that name again.
Amber couldn't help but feel a little happier, knowing that her husband had chosen her. Then her brow furrowed in confusion. "Than why am I here?"
"Oh I can answer that dear!" A happy creepy voice pierced through the darkness, and Amber recognized it.
"Adam." She breathed.
Then another spot light turned on right above Amber and her chair snapped around to face behind her. A few feet away Richard's chair did the same, leaving the two of them facing each other.
"You, little missy, are here for leverage. Incase little boy here doesn't want to cooperate."

'Guys there is like nothing here!' KIdflash complained. He was getting tired of searching warehouse after warehouse and not finding anything. There had to be something they could do that would help them find Robin sooner!
'We have only searched like hale the warehouses Baywatch.' Artemises annoyed voice floated through the mind link. 'He could still be in one of the ones we haven't checked.'
'Well if you guys would let me run ahead I could check all the warehouses in 5 seconds flat!' KF growled out.
'No.' Superboy cut in. 'We should stay together.'
'And why is that, oh super one?' KF's voice was almost mocking.
'Because.' Superboy growled. 'If you get caught, which you would, you would alert them to the fact that we are here.'
'But-'
Miss Martian cut KF off. 'Superboy it right. If they know we are here then we lose the element of surprise.'
"Of course you would agree with him." Kidflash mumbled aloud, keeping the comment out of the mind link.
After a moment of silence Artemis spoke in the link. 'This one is clear guys.'
'Let's move on to the next.' Miss M said, flying out of the skylight while the others left through the front and back doors.
They moved to the next warehouse over. M'ggan floated in through the skylight in camo mode. When she gave the signal that there was no one in the main room Artemis slipped through an open window, Superboy came through the front and KF sneaked through the back.
It only took a few minutes before the building was deemed clear and they moved on to the next.
KF moaned. This was taking way too long!
A man ran down an alley trying to lose his pursuer. When he saw that the ally didn't go through he quickly ducked behind a dumpster and tried to catch his breath. He sat there for a minute and when he didn't hear anyone else come down the alley he slowly peeked around the corner of the dumpster. He relaxed when he saw that the alley was empty. He must have lost him. He turned back and leaned against the side of the dumpster. He yelled when he was met with a tall man standing in front of him.
"Zachary Marcus." The gruff voice said, sending shivers down the man's back.
"I told you man I don't know anything about the Tigers!" Zachary yelled.
"Wrong answer." Batman said darkly. He grabbed Zachary by the collar and picked him up holding him against the wall.
"I-I-I-" The man stuttered as he was pressed up against the wall of the ally.
"I am going to ask you again and I want an answer." Batman growled. "Now what can you tell me about the Tigers."
Mark waited in the batmobile. Bruce had told him that he had to stay there, where he knew where Mark was. To say that mark was not happy with that was an understatement. To be stuck in a car well you could be helping to find your family was torcher.
It had been about 20 minutes since batman left him in this stupid alley. Mark would have left 5 minutes after Batman did, but he couldn't figure out the freaking lock!
Mark growled as another one of his lock picking devices snapped in the door.
"Are you kidding me?" He sighed and reached in his pocket to pull out another lock pick, only to find that he was out.
"You have got to be kidding me." He repeated. This was ridiculous!
He's gone through government agent training and he can't even open a freaking car door!
He looked at his watch. What was keeping Batman?
"Stop trying to pick the locks."
Mark jumped and spun around to see Batman sitting next to him in the driver's seat.
"How do you do that?!" Mark asked. He hadn't even heard the car door open.
Batman ignored the question and pulled out of the alley.
Mark sighed. "So what did you find out?"
"Zachery Marcuse was a former henchman in the Tigers. He gave me some information on where their bass may be located."
"And he just gave you the info?" Mark asked skeptically.
"He had some motivation." Batman said gruffly.
Mark knew better then to ask more about the so called 'motivation'.
"So where is the bass?"
"Marcuse said that there were more than one bass, but the only one he was ever at was in downtown Gotham."
Well there you go! Sorry if it was a little short. Don't worry we will get some action in the next chapter. =) I am Sorry for any typos I may have missed.
