Hellur! It's me with chapter 9! I will make the author's note short but...

KF: She's been working on a Young Justice story that's including something about vampires, werewolves, dragons, incubuses...

Me: Stop spoiling it! Yeesh. Disclaimer now!

KF: She don't own me or my friends. Or Young Justice.

Me: On with the story!

They stared. And stared. And stared. It was almost like their brain was refusing to believe what was right in front of them. Right there, was their best friend that they know and love, who has also been the person they've been fighting against and sometimes fighting along with.

"How..." She said at the same time he said,

"Why..."

They didn't expect this to be hidden underneath that fighter's stamina. It was completely different than what they even might've thought the other would be. It seemed that they would be staring at each other forever. That was until the crazed man grabbed their attention.

"Good, it seems like you are well acquainted with each other. It will be needed for later on. But for now you must follow my rules."

"Yeah right bitch! I don't take orders from insane people that deserve–" Suddenly a cold metal hand covered her mouth and nose, blocking her breathing, while another grabbed both of her wrists and held it together. She tried struggling but it was no use, the hold was too strong. Dick tried to get to her, but two cold hands grabbed his wrists and kept him in his spot. He found out that struggling was useless when it came to the strength of the packs of metal. Soon Alexis was limp in the robot's arms. The robot let go of her face and put it's unoccupied hand on her wrist. Dick's face went red with anger, but he didn't say a word.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine. T1 and 2, take them to their room." The man said. The two were dragged by the robots and went through so many turns Dick lost hope in trying to retrace his steps. They ended up at a silver door, looking exactly like the rest.

The robot holding Alexis typed in a code. The robot holding him turned Dick's head forcefully away from the keypad so he won't see the password being typed. When the doors opened, the robots threw the duo in like rag dolls. Both landed harshly on the floor, and when he tried to get up and run to the doors, it was already closing. He made it to the doors and it closed right in his face. Dick sighed and walked over to Alexis who was still unconscious on the ground. That hit on the floor probably didn't help either.

He sighed again and looked around the room. It was like a jail cell except there were no bars and no windows. The room was dimly lit from an unknown source, and Dick was not bothered by this. He lived in Gotham since he was nine; he works beside Batman. He practically lives in the dark, it was his weapon. From what he could tell. The walls were a grey cement color, and he assumed the section cut off by the black curtain was the bathroom. There was also a bed in the corner covered in grey sheets.

Dick then thought about something before heading over to Alexis, and picking her up in his arms bridal style. Slowly, he made his way over to the other side of the room, making sure he didn't jostle her too much in case there were more injuries he didn't know about. Dick laid her down on the bed and sat beside her, looking at her face. He moved her hair out of her face, admiring her peaceful looking expression. The young hero sighed and thought. Why would she do that? Why would she choose this life?

"Mom... I'm sorry... Don't go..." Dick's attention was brought back to Alexis when he noticed her troubled look on her face. She was mumbling in her sleep. Her behavior seemed a little familiar. It hurt him to see her like this. Nightmares are the worst but it makes you feel the most relief after because you realize it's not real. For some of us it isn't real. Dick caressed her face over and over, whispering in her ear.

"Shhh... It's only a dream. Wake up." He was trying to calmly get her awake so she won't snap, hurt him or herself. She was still in that distraught (or as he would've said, 'not traught') phase. "Please. I'll help you. Just wake up. Please Alexis."

It seemed that did the trick. Her eyes opened slowly, probably trying to adjust to the light. She sat up next to him. Her face turned into a confused one.

"Dick? What happened?" She asked.

"You don't remember?" Guess that hit was harder than I thought. Her face scrunched up in concentration, when suddenly a look of realization and surprise came across her face.

"Robin?"

"Hey Phoenix." He said. There was silence after that. It wasn't the comfortable silence they were used to, but an awkward and tension filled silence.

"Have a plan?" Alex asked him. He turned to look at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Since when did you rely on me for the strategies? I could've sworn you almost had an IQ as high as mine."

"Exactly. I almost have. Not the same or higher than you."

Dick chuckled and sighed. "I'm still trying to think of one. There is bound to be some obstacles here, and I know we can't stay in this room forever. If we can't get out Batman will try to find us."

"I'm guessing Bats is B.W, isn't he?" She asked him with a knowing look.

"Yep." Dick said, popping the 'p'. He gave a yawn a second later

"You need to go to sleep."

"Like I'm going to sleep with that maniac in the same building as me." He tried to laugh but it didn't sound very convincing. She put her hand on his.

"Don't worry. We'll be fine." She told him. He still looked skeptical. Alex sighed.

"If you don't I'll knock you out with my own hands." She threatened, and Dick had a feeling that she wasn't kidding. He put his hands up in a surrender gesture.

"Fine." He laid down and closed his eyes.

"G'night Bird Brain."

"Night Flamethrower." The only sounds left were Dick's snores echoing in the room. If only her words were true, because their stay with the man is not going to be fine. Not by a long shot.

Batman rubbed his face and sighed. He has been in the batcave ever since he had that talk with the ladies of the League. He was looking for any evidence of where his protege is. He got a call from Martian Manhunter telling him that Robin was alive and they had started a search for him. Batman also got the news from Roy that someone else had been there with Robin. Also, judging by the recording of the call, the girl (still can't believe how much men can actually out pitch that scream) was put in the same position as Robin, meaning she was most likely kidnapped as well (the circumstances of the area they were at is too suspicious to just be classified as a disappearance). Now Batman has a couple of important questions he has to find the answer to.

Who was the girl that was kidnapped with Robin? Who had taken them? Where are they? Are they safe?

Batman really doubted that the last question would be answered with a yes. All he could was hope. That was all they could do. Hope.

That was chapter Nine! Hope you enjoyed it. Bye!
