Then without another word Batman strode towards the Zeta-tubes, Batgirl in tow and transported to Mount. Justice, eager to go and get his son back.
Within twenty minutes after all calls had gone out and Wally had gotten back from his gathering of the extra hero's, the cave was packed with all the people that had been asked to come to help with the rescue mission. Hence forth filling the mountain with the original Young Justice team, the seven founders, the Bat family, and the Arrow family. All together they had eighteen hero's and heroine's suited up and ready to head out to Jump, which was more than enough to take down DeathStroke and bring Nightwing home. Or so they hoped.
Both Barbra and Zatana were being ordered to stay behind at the cave, given the task of preparing the med bay for when they would return, where at least a few of them would no doubt need to be patched up and for Nightwing who would probably need the medical attention.
After giving the two pregnant women there assignment Batman strode into the mission room, where the giant rescue team stood attentive and silent waiting for the orders of what each would need to do when they got to the base. Instead of moving to the front of the room however Batman stepped over to the once Aqualad, who watched him curiously.
"Since Nightwing is obviously not here to lead the mission and I am not well informed on DeathStrokes M.O. pertaining to Nightwing, you will be leading this operation since you have led both rescues for the past kidnappings." Though it was more of a statement then a question Kaldur slowly nodded. Well accustomed to the role of leader, moving from his king's side Tempest stepped to the front of the room where he addressed the group at large.
"Nightwing is being kept in an underground structure on the edge of coast in Jump, California. Red Robin has been able to scan the blue prints of said structure and has found three separate entrances into the building two of which we will be able to use without causing too much of a commotion" Kaldur nodded to Tim who without hesitation pulled up a holographic display in the middle of the room show casing the building they were talking about. Stepping forward Red took the floor.
"As Tempest said there are three entrances into the compound. The first one is obviously the main entrance which will most likely be the most heavily guarded of all three. The second, is one on the right side of the building over here." Rotating the holograph he pointed to where a small opening could be seen leading to the ventilation.
"Going through you would take the vent all the way straight down then to the left, below that is a hallway on the east side leading to an open space most likely used for training. From there you keep going straight and connect with the path of the next entry. The other entrance is more noticeable then the others but also the most least likely of where we would enter from. Running the length of the south hallway there is a small canal that comes in straight from the ocean and passes through into the city, from there you would be able to take a right down this hallway here and be near where the cells are kept which is most likely where Nightwing is." Tim typed on his wrist computer and a small yellow line circled the area where there leader was, looking up he turned to Kaldur tilting his head slightly to the right. "Any questions?" The hero's shook their head in unison and looked back over to their temporary leader. Tempest stepped forward studying the map intently rubbing his chin in thought seeming to come to a decision he turned back to the team.
"Aquaman, Ms. Martian, Martian ManHunter, and I will use the canal entrance into the structure Meghan and ManHunter you two will need to morph gills to breathe under the water." The three nodded in agreement to Kaldur.
"Okay Tigress, Batman, Green Arrow, Arsenal, Cheshire, Robin, and Red Robin" The Hero's called looked up expectantly after hearing their names. "You seven will go through the ventilation entrance and will meet up with the other three and I where the canal passes through. From there we will go to the cells and search for Nightwing." They nodded and examined the holograph once more studying it and the direction they would need to go. Finally Tempest turned to the rest of the Meta's.
"The rest of you, both Flashes, both Superman's, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Canary, will be waiting outside of the front entrance. When we find Nightwing and secure him Ms. Martian will send you a signal and you seven will ambush the guards there. We will meet up with you and together find DeathStroke and .Bring. Him. Down."
All the hero's (excluding Batman and Martian ManHunter) cheered at the last part, a fierce determined look on each one of their faces. Kaldur showed a small smile as Batman went to the med-room (probably to tell Barbra of the plan) and as the others double checked that they had everything they needed for the upcoming mission. Turning his head to the holograph once more his eyes went straight to the circled yellow section where Nightwing was supposed to be.
"Do not worry my friend, we are coming soon and we will bring you home."
UNDERNEATH THE EDGE OF JUMP CITY
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Nightwing screamed in torment as once again another longer round of excruciating electric shocks enveloped his body. It had been only a half an hour since he had woken and already he could feel his resolve breaking as the voltage's tore through his body pulling apart all rational thought and leaving only pain in its wake. After what seemed like hours – but was only a few minutes – the agony stopped, leaving him hanging limply once more from the chains that now cut into his bare wrists. Not being able to hear anything besides his breaths and a strong pounding in his ear's, he let his head lay lifelessly on his chest eye's shut tight as though to block out the pain.
Vaguely he heard a strange deep mumbling voice beside him, which he assumed belonged to DeathStroke, most likely asking him another mundane useless question. This time however he couldn't bring himself to reply, even with his normal sarcastic banter and remained unresponsive.
Apparently that was unacceptable for a moment later he felt a sharp tool embed itself in his bicep. With a scream his head pulled upwards looking straight toward his arm where a long dagger was impaled through the skin. Looking to his right he saw Wilson who looked immensely pleased that he had gotten some response.
"Good your awake, I was worried you had passed out again." He said with nonchalance, Nightwing stared at him incredulously almost baffled at the action.
"So you figured a good way to see if I was awake was to STABB ME!" DeathStroke shrugged a smirk almost visible through the mask.
"Well it worked didn't it?" Again Wing stared disbelievingly at the ex-missionary he knew that Wilson wasn't all there, but it seemed he had really lost his marbles!
"You're insane" He said faintly almost conversationally as though he were just stating a fact. DeathStroke however was not amused, raising the control for what seemed like the thousandth time he scowled at the hero.
"I prefer to see it as thinking outside the box" and with that he pressed the button.
Once again it felt as though red hot knifes where tearing and stabbing him all over his body. The pain consumed everything making him spasm and shake, leaving him with no control. He could feel himself began to slip away from realty. Then before thinking that he might as well just give up if it meant a stop to all this pain he remembered his team, smiling and hugging him and being there for him always. And Barbra beautiful but stubborn fierce like a wild fire, he had to fight for them he couldn't give into DeathStroke they would be coming for him and bringing him home in no time. He hoped.
"I'm fighting… but…. please guys…. get here soon." And with that last thought he let darkness close in around him.
