Author's Note:

Ok, I'm gonna start this off by saying, THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS. I LOVE YOU. THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING, FAVING, AND REVIEWING. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THAT MEANS TO ME.

Second thing, I hope that you like it, if it seems shorter than usual, it is. Honestly, I'm not very good at writing action and suspense or whatever the hell you'd call it. I'm waiting for the right moment to put the RRRROMACE in. LOL, like always, please review if you have comments or suggestions (ABOUT GRAMMAR. I MIGHT NOT TAKE STORY ADVICE UNLESS ITS STELLAR).

DISCLAIMER: YEAH, I DON'T OWN THEM... BUT ONE DAY I'LL MAKE A NON ANIMATED TV SERIES OR MOVIE FOR THEM... AND STILL THEN, I MIGHT NOT OWN THEM... *CRIES*

Katherine

"Tell me." Nightwing no longer had his relaxed, calm, and meditated face on anymore, he was getting down to business and wasn't going to take no shit from no one. Well, that's how Katherine would describe his facial expression. She swallows back the lump in her throat, "Well, I remember jumping down here, finding them running around aimlessly, as if they were scared and lost and brain dead all at the same time. They seemed to see the corpses too, I even remember the smell. They said over and over that they had to look for… Whisperer? They acted as if they were in a trance."

That's all she could remember, it was weird really, not only the fact that everything was still hazy, but the fact that she couldn't remember at all.

"The Whisperer?" Katherine noticed the slight, horror? That she think she hears when Dick asks again, it sounds like he wanted a different word to escape her mouth. "Yes, do you recognize the name?" Katherine stood up next to Dick, he starts to move forward. "Yes, he's from Earth Prime, an AP traveler."

Then it hit her, like a freaking freight train, AP, Apocalypse. It feels like weeks have gone by since she first injected herself with the AP. It feels like years, the last time she saw Eric.

So the AP was the cause of her changing dimensions, or really, changing universes. Katherine remembers that this wasn't the only time she heard AP being mentioned, there's something in the Watch Tower that is AP related. But Kat had to be smart, she couldn't 'know' anything about AP, really, all Dick knows about her, or so she hopes, was that she knew a lot about dimension traveling.

Nightwing starts to walk forward after bringing his hologram back up, Scarlet assumes that he's analyzing everything again. She started to follow him close behind. After all the hallucinations disappeared, there's now mountains of rubble and rocks, unlucky cars and houses that had dropped into the fault line, apparently, there are no known casualties yet. "Scarlet, stay close." I heard Grayson shout to me, he was already jumping around like a freaking ninja over fifty feet away. Katherine rolled her eyes and tried to run but her speed didn't kick in, she tries again, concentrating with all the will she could find in herself, but still nothing happens. Instead, she catches up with him the normal way, it was hard keeping up with the acrobat, but somehow, she manages.

While Dick was analyzing everything, she pondered about her abilities, they weren't working, it was probably because of the AP residue in the air. She ran some chemical formulas in her head that she could remember from her notes during her AP experiments. Katherine realized that her theories are confirmed, the chemical compounds in the air is so dense, her 'AP Powers' can't function properly. Since she's inhaling the chemicals, her abilities are what could only be described as, 'temporarily suppressed'.

'Well, that sucks… a lot…"

Katherine kept looking around and following Nightwing as he looked down at his hologram and back up checking his surroundings. "Hey, what are you looking for?" She asked him, Katherine knew patience isn't her strong suit, but she'll have to learn to hone it. "I'm checking the density of the air. The AP chemicals are very strong in this particular area, I'm trying to figure out why." He said without looking back at her, he was determined and Kat could tell. "Its theoretical, but I believe that its almost concrete." Katherine started off, "As of what I understand of the dimensional residue, or Apocalypse, the area of which the air density is the densest is where the original AP remains is from. So in other words, the initial landing spot of the person or thing called Whisperer, is somewhere in this general location." She said while jumping, leaping, and running to keep up with Dick.

When she finished her lecturing, he completely just stops, turns around and looks at her with an intrigued face, "I didn't know you knew so much about science." Katherine holds up her index finger, "No, I know a lot about AP, not science. AP borders the fine line of science and imagination." I inform him. "Don't tell Kid that, he'd slap you… a thousand times in a second." I laugh at his last comment, how true that is.

To Katherine, it feels like hours before Nightwing stops, "Hold. Right here is the epicenter of the strongest AP air density."

Roy

Roy thought about the past hour that has gone by, Bart came to the jet informing him that Nightwing had successfully reached him and jumped down into the fault line, Jaime had woke up about fifteen minutes ago. So far, Red has anything to do and he's beyond irritated about it. "What the hell are we supposed to do?!" He shouted randomly at the two rookies, "Sit around while hell itself rips apart our teammates?!" By now, Roy had gotten up to his feet, throwing his hands and arms up in the air with disgust and frustration. "Well," Jaime spoke with as much of a voice he had left, Roy scares the crap out of a lot of people and he could see that certain fact especially in Jaime, "Nightwing did order you to stay here, he didn't order anyone else to…" He trailed off. Roy knows better, he is irrational but not brain dead, "No fucking way am I allowing you guys to go out there." He gives Jaime his own version of the bat glare.

He feels content when he sees Blue Beetle shrivel back. That's when Bart, as inexperienced as he is, decides to say something after Roy swears. And you don't want to continue the subject if Roy swears, "Wait, Wing said you cannot leave this jet, right?" Impulse questions while sitting on the floor with his arms resting on his knees. Roy thinks about it, he knows where this kid is going and he likes it, for the first time he doesn't feel like Bart should just shut his yapping mouth, "Yes, Bart." Red Arrow smirks slightly. "Then that doesn't mean that you can't fly the jet." Now Bart shares the equally as mischievous grin.

"Why didn't you say anything earlier?" Roy questions making his way to the pilot's seat. "Well, I kinda knew you were upset and pissed off and mad, so I didn't want to say anything. Besides, you were carefully inspecting that arrow in your hand for a good half hour, I was worried that yo-" Jaime cuts him off, Roy is starting to have an interesting look on his face… "Ok, ese, that's enough… Haha…" The Beetle laughs uncomfortably as he holds a hand over Bart's mouth. He quickly rips the Hispanic boy's hand off him.

Roy seats himself and quickly does a diagnosis of what he's up against, the controls and weapons indicate a Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor, "Oh yeah…" Now Roy is really feeling the aster, probably the most expensive and well designed plane in the world is in his hands. "F119-PW-100 turbofan engines with afterburners, and two-dimensional thrust vectoring nozzles?!" Roy is just too excited.

Its not like it was the first time he's ever been in the Batwing, but he's never got to touch the throttle before. "Ok, let's go for a ride." Not bothering to run a single test, Roy sets the jet in hover and has the jet moving upwards before going full force.

For a moment, Roy forgets about his love and the danger his friend is in and just flies the plane that he could only dream about.

After scanning the entire fault line ten times, Roy feels the frustration building again. He feels that it's all his fault that he let not only his one true love die, but also his best friend, his brother. He thinks that all hope is lost until something appears in his peripheral vision, Roy turns the jet around to circle it again, but no matter how many times he comes around, he can't seem to figure out what it is. He doesn't want to fly too close because the Batwing's sensor suite is able to get a lock on it, the infrared trackers are too.

"Hey, Rojo, why are we goin' round in circles?" Roy turns around briefly to see Jaime with his 'scarab mask' standing directly behind him looking out the window. Just the person he needs, "Jaime, look down there and tell me what you see, I don't want to approach it, might be a weapon." Blue nods once, "Gotcha, amigo, circle around it again," he said before Roy caught a glimpse of the scarab covering his face again. Roy once again turns the jet back around as he positions the jet to get a close look at the object. He really hopes this works.

"Hermano, what do you see?" Bart asks making Roy jump in his seat slightly, the boy has light feet. "I dunno, ese, it looks a lot like…" He couldn't admit it, but the following seconds was horror filled silence, "Dios mio… I-it's…" Roy decided to land the place a fair distance away from where the spotting was. He could hear Jaime's armor draw back its mask, more seconds of horror filled silence passes before Impulse speaks up with much urgency, "Dude! Spit it out already!" Red Arrow swears he can hear Jaime's brain rattle in his head, Bart must be shaking him a mile per second. "I-it was the Flash." Blue Beetle's voice was almost shaking and Roy couldn't believe what he had just heard.

Roy lands the Batwing when the statement Jaime made reaches his ears, "What the hell do you mean, was?" He asked, now Roy feels horror struck, he refuses to believe this is happening.

Before even Bart can respond, something comes over the intercom, "Batman to Batwing, Nightwing, do you copy?"

Oh, and if anyone is into TRAUGHT, I would suggest you go check out my newest series, 'I'll Save You'. I hope you enjoy!
