Robin paced the floor in the main hall while Batman, Zatara, Superman, and Martian Man Hunter stood talking by the screen that now showed the feed of Zatana. The team stood back from the adults having their own conversation about what to do. Finally Batman turned to face them, but despite that Robin continued to pace. It was his way of working something stressful through his mind, just keep moving.

"The League is spread out looking for Zatana it is now top priority to find her, you are to leave this in League hands.", that stopped Robin completely.

"No", he said softly making Batman turn his head towards him.

"Robin now is not the tim-".

"She is part of OUR team, and when you have a partner, you don't leave them behind", he did not raise his voice there was no need and as he finished he noted how his mentor lowered his raised chin.

"Very well, you may all assist in anyway possible", the team nodded in response and Robin couldn't help but feel like he had finally won an argument with his mentor.

At the monitor Robin looked to see Zatara staring at his daughter, she was still bond to the chair. He had come to the mountain as soon as the team had returned, but when he saw they were empty handed he had lost it. Some of the Justice League were lone characters who didn't really have anyone else let alone a protégé, they knew the dangers of children with the super villain enemies.

Those who did take a protégé on usually selected a non family member but there were exceptions with nephews and nieces it seemed. But for Zatara it was far closer to home, Zatana was his daughter and she was all he had left. His pain was hard to see, but his determination kept him safe for the time being, that and hope.

"He has had her for hours now, why does he just leave her there?", he asked looking to Batman who was now standing at the key board once again.

"It's a mind game, he likes control, the more frantic and scared she is the bigger the high for him.", Robin spat, his voice darkening with anger.

"I can not reach her mentally", J'ohn said softly from behind them and M'gann touched her Uncle's arm.

"I have been trying as well, with no luck", Kaldur was now viewing maps with Connor, while Artemis and Wally stood off to the side and observed.

"If only she knew she was being filmed, she could give us a sign", Artemis looked to Wally as he spoke and nodded.

"Maybe I could help?", they looked up as Jade came forward Roy walking beside her.

"How?", Batman asked, eyeing the girl as she looked to the virtual map that spun slowly.

"I can show you hide outs, stash houses, places the shadows and our insane little clown like to operate out of", her offer seemed to hang in the air for a moment while Batman and Superman traded glances.

"What have you got?", he finally said and Jade's shoulders seemed to slacken slightly with relief. Walking to the globe she lifted her hands and started touching specific areas, her eyes never stopped moving as she worked on the map for a few minutes.

"Alright, these eight red markers are stash houses, weapons and supplies can be found there. The six green markers are hide outs, were some go to lick their wounds after a run in with you guys. And the three black markers are places I have seen the Joker use as private get aways, but there is no knowing for sure if he is holding her at them.", she lowered her hands and stepped away so Batman could further examine the three black markers.

"One is the warehouse he held me, this one here is in Gotham. That one is in Star City and the other is in Metropolis.", Robin pointed out.

"We will check them all, some villains are dumb enough to use the same place twice. Superman and Martian Man Hunter will take Metropolis, I'll go to Gotham and have Flash meet me, team you are to go to Star City. Radio connection is to be maintained.", they all nodded as orders were handed out.

"Jade and I will stay here with Zatara, keep an eye on the monitor and let you know of any changes.", Roy offered, surprised when Batman nodded in approval. As they began to separate they could vaguely here Zatana as she begin to speak.

"Is she using a spell?", M'gann asked.

"Mihan hee-ulla met rae Robin", they could all plainly hear her whisper under her breath thanks to volume control on the monitor. All at once everyone turned their eyes to Robin who took an awkward step back and shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know what that even mea-arrgh", he covered his eyes suddenly and scratched at his domino mask as he bent at his waist.

"Robin?", Batman started towards him but stopped as Robin lowered his hands and began to straighten, looking around the room as if lost.

"Im good, I think? I can see but it's not here", he put his hands out feeling disoriented.

"Not here?", Kaldur questioned.

"It's the spell, it's a game", Zatara stepped through the others to stand in front of Robin.

"What do you mean by 'game'?", Wally repeated now.

"When Zatana was only a child, kind of a do you see what I see. She would hide, say the spell and then I would have a few moments to tell were she was by seeing what she was seeing.", Robin shook his head, not used to the sensation of seeing something that didn't match the sounds around him.

"What do you see?", Batman came to stand beside Zatara as Robin took a calming breath to focus.

"It's a warehouse', he squinted, 'There is a goon, one of Jokers'. He's blacking out the upper windows". He turned his head to the left but quickly dropped his chin as if something on the floor had caught his attention. "There is ash, I think there was a fire here. And I see newspaper. There's stacks of it, it's dark though I can barely see the lettering…A..dash…..R? Wait!".

"Rob what is it?".

"My vision is blurring, it's fading!", he out stretched his hand as if he could stop the loss of connection.

"The spell is wearing off", Zatara whispered as Robin now looked directly at him, capable of seeing him now.

"It doesn't matter she gave us enough. KF map!", he pushed through the mentors and Wally went to work bringing up the globe map once again.

"What am I looking for?", he looked to Robin who drew up another key pad and started typing away.

"Abandoned warehouses".

"Waterfront?", he nodded and Wally began typing as well.

The others stood back as the two worked on the map, markers lighting up the map. Batman looked to his protégé with pride. Though he could have fallen apart he didn't, he rose to what needed to be done. Zatana as Bruce knew was very important to his son, both from team value and from value of the heart.

"Alright now add in old newspaper and packing", a number of lights dimmed away to leave ten scattered.

"He couldn't have taken her out of the country", Wally added swiping three markers off the map, to leave seven.

"A dash R, if only that made more sense", Robin scratched the back of his head. "Kaldur how's she doing?", he called over his shoulder.

"Still unattended", he responded after checking the feed.

"Wait! A dash R? Of course, S-T-A-R review! It was a Star City news paper, they closed a few warehouses do to a fire!", Wally went to work, all the markers vanished while a screen popped up to show a warehouse with boarded up doors. "And it is actually three docks down from the warehouse Jade saw the Joker at", he also pointed out as he looked to Artemis who smiled at his add.

"She's in Star City, we found her", Robin stepped back and looked at Batman, waiting to hear they had to stay behind and wait. He couldn't do that, so mentally he was preparing his argument.

"Team report to the hanger in five, Jade and Roy stay here and keep us updated through radio, Zatara and I will not be far behind the team.", Robin nodded and followed the team as they headed for the hanger. He and Wally high fived one another, their team work having proven awesome once again.

"Are you ready to get your daughter?", Batman looked to Zatara who was putting on his top hat. The magician straightened his back and opened his right hand, his cane taking form as he lifted his eyes.

"Yes".

Please review!
