Kidnapping
Red Hood watched as Richard Grayson walked out of Gotham Academy and waited near the gates to be picked up. Poor kid isn't even aware.
"Hey Red, get the hell over here!" Reaper shouted from across the other building.
"Jeez Reaper, you don't have to scream in my ear!" Red Hood hissed into his communicator. Reaper only gave her ghostly cackle in reply. When the school grounds seemed to clear up, Reaper grappled over to the roof of the school and signaled to her partner. Red Hood smirked beneath his helmet and held up a signal as well. Reaper swung a grapple over to the gate and slid down the rope. She kneeled down to hide behind where the boy was standing. She slowly approached from behind before clapping her hand over his mouth and nose and wrapped her arm around him in a death grip. She kneeled down again as he started struggling and tried to get some air into his lungs. She removed a syringe from inside her sleeve and stuck the needle into his flesh. It wasn't long before the child went limp and Reaper removed her hand so the boy could breathe again. She took Richard in one arm while the other was used to grapple onto the building where Red Hood had been standing.
(8 Hours Later)
Bruce Wayne typed frantically on the computer in the Bat cave while his butler watched, anxiously. Alfred had gone to pick Dick up but there was no sign of the boy. Bruce had searched where his son could have been but hadn't even found a trace. Suddenly, Batgirl entered the cave on her Bat cycle and hurried over to Batman.
"Bruce, I think I know who has Dick." She said, showing him a piece of paper. Bruce took the paper and what he read made him feel sick.
I see you brought in a little replacement, Bruce. If you want this one dead too then I will do the job for you unless you listen to me carefully. You will get a phone call around midnight and the number is unregistered so it won't help you with anything. You will answer it and listen to every word. Fail to do so and you precious little bird will pay the price, Batman. If you are late then I will feed him to the Joker himself and cut him open before blowing his brains out. You'd better hurry if you don't want him to drown in his own blood. I look forward you our little reunion.
-Red Hood
Bruce dropped the paper in shock. The Red Hood knew who he was and who Robin was. Suddenly, the screen on the Bat computer went blank before showing the face of the Reaper, Red Hood's supposed partner.
"Feeling sentimental?" Came Reaper's ghostly feminine voice. The three members in the cave went stiff.
"Reaper." Batman growled.
"You were expecting maybe RH?" She suddenly released her ghostly cackle.
"Where's Robin?" Batman demanded.
"Sorry B-man, but you're going to need to wait for your midnight call." Reaper said. "And by the way, if you think little Birdy Boy is hurt then don't fret because he isn't but that just might change very soon."
"I swear if you even lay a hair on him-"
"Blah, blah, blah! Always trying to be Mr. Hero…Hmmm, I'm getting bored now so why don't you just wait for the call? See you later, Brucie!" Reaper said his name in a sing-song voice before ending the transmission. Batman slammed his fist down on the computer board and looked at the time. 11:30. He had twenty minutes before the call.
"How the heck did they find out who you are?" Batgirl asked in disbelief.
(Gotham Pier, 13th Warehouse)
Dick woke up to the sound of gunfire. His eyes snapped open and right in front of him stood a guy in a biker uniform and a red helmet. Red Hood.
"Relax kid, Reaper's just killing pigeons outside." He said. "But that's going to be you if Daddy Bats doesn't arrive."
Dick's eyes widened. He suddenly felt anxious when he remembered being abducted in his civilian form and that meant only one thing.
"How-"He started but Red Hood cut him off.
"How do I know that old Brucie's the Batman?" He asked. "Don't fret kid, you'll find out."
Reaper walked in and tossed an AK-47 to Red Hood who caught it easily.
"Oh good, the kid's awake." She said, smirking beneath her hood. "What did I miss?"
"What do you want with me?" Dick asked, nervously as Reaper pulled out a Rapier that was strapped to her hip. Reaper just put the tip of her blade to his throat and hushed him.
Red Hood left the room but stopped at the doorway before doing so.
"Keep your eyes open at all times, Reaper." Red Hood warned before leaving.
Batgirl watched as Batman began typing frantically to find a lead to where Dick could've been taken.
"Sir?"
Batman turned to see Alfred with an anxious expression on his face.
"What is it, Alfred?" Bruce demanded. Alfred held up Bruce's cellphone.
"He called."
Bruce immediately took the phone and brought it to his ear.
"Hello?" He answered, trying not to show any sign of fear in his voice.
"Hello Bruce." Red Hood greeted in a shaky voice. "Long time no see?"
"Where's Robin?" Bruce demanded.
"Don't worry about your precious little birdy. He's safe for now." Red Hood said, calmly. "Just trace this call and you will get your first lead. Once you get to that location I will call you by your speaker and give you more from there. You better hurry before this little bird gets his wings clipped."
Red Hood then ended the call and Batman started typing away on the computer. After a few minutes he stood up and faced Barbara and Alfred.
"I have a lead."
