Author's Note: Uhm, hi? I know I'm a terrible author for not updating this in ages…I'M SORRY! I'm in my final year of college and I've got a lot of homework to do and yet I'm procrastinating…oops BUT I hope this chapter makes it up for the long wait and I hope I got the teams right… :3

Shout Outs: Thanks to everyone who had followed, favored and reviewed.

Summary: After finding out that one of his teams is missing, Aqualad sends Robin's team to find out what happened. Darkseid proceeded to phase two of his plan.

Chapter 3: Captured

A whir sound came before it died down, indicating that the ship was now levitating before it landed on the rocky ground.

"Why is it that Aqualad always has to send us to the creepiest places on Earth?" Kid Flash muttered.

The place around them was isolated and dark and barely having life.

"You're not scared, are you?" Tigress smirked.

Flash scowled. "No."

Bumblebee rolled her eyes. "Come on, let's go. The faster we do this, the quicker we can go home."

The team agreed and so they started to move but little did they know, that something was watching from them from a distance. It widened its eyes before it slithered away.

The threesome continued to walk further until something made Flash to stop in his tracks. He turned around and stared ahead, searching for something.

That's odd. If nothing is there, then why do I have a feeling that something or someone is watching us?

He gave a one last look before the voice from Tigress came.

"Flash, let's go!"

Tearing away from the distance, Flash gained his attention back to the team. "Uh, yeah I'm coming."

He caught up with them in a heartbeat. However, as they got nearer to their destination, a shadow suddenly loomed over Flash and he turned around.

"Uh, guys!" Flash exclaimed. But before the team could even do anything, Flash was gone and soon the others were disappeared as well.

:(/\):

"Aqualad to Beta. Come in, Beta." Aqualad said.

Noticing the worried look, Tim walked towards the leader.

"Anything wrong?" Robin asked.

Aqualad gave a sigh. "I'm trying to reach the Beta's team to tell them new information which I had forgotten to do so at the beginning since it might help them out but I can't reach them. I don't know if they're signal is jammed or if…if…they got captured…"

"Hey, don't worry about it. I'm sure they will be fine. If anything, they have the Flash. He can outrun them."

"Yes but he can also get caught. Just like with Wally, he can easily lose concentration and get distracted easily." Aqualad responded. He pressed the button one more time but all he got was static once again.

More footsteps came which alerted Aqualad and he turned around to see Batgirl, La'gaan, Cassie and Blue Beetle.

"Good, you guys are here. Since you're the only team available I want you to go to the place where Gamma team is. See if you can find anything that might lead to them. They may have gotten captured."

The team nodded.

:(/\):

"I just can't wait to see the look on Kid Flash's face when we come and rescue his team." Robin responded as the Gamma team walked down the hallway.

Batgirl threw an irritated look, clearly being annoyed with Robin already.

"Don't you ever shut up?" Batgirl muttered.

"Woah, what got you in a knot?" Blue Beetle asked.

"Nothing, Beetle."

"I think her boyfriend broke up with her." La'gaan replied in a singing tone.

Batgirl growled, storming away from the team.

"You guy are so insensitive." Cassie responded.

"Or maybe she's on her period. I mean, girls go moody when they're on their period. They get angry and start blaming people." Robin said, having La'gaan to laugh.

"Why are we having this conversation?" Beetle asked. "I don't know you."

"Robin, you prat!" Cassie exclaimed, punching him in the arm before she stormed off.

"And there goes my shoulder." Robin replied, rubbing it.

"Hate to say it but you deserved it." Beetle said.

"Some friend you are." he muttered.

"Alright, guys since you are so upbeat for this mission, La'gaan you're going with Robin." Batgirl said. "Beetle you're with Cassie and me."

"Uh, shouldn't Cassie go with Robin?" La'gaan pointed it out.

Batgirl raised her eyebrow. "Why?"

"Because Robin needs someone strong if he ever got captured to save him since he clearly can't save himself." La'gaan laughed.

Tim twitched. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't push you off a cliff and say it was an accident." he growled.

"You're still not sore about losing a match to Flash, are you?"

Robin growled.

"Alright, guys! Just do as you were told to and meet us back here!" Batgirl yelled.

"Yes, ma'am."

:(/\):

Robin muttered as they were walking down the hallway as La'gaan was following him shortly behind him.

Why did he have to come with me? I would've been fine without him. Tim muttered angrily in thought.

"Yo, Wonder Boy. When you have stopped daydreaming about your gal, come and join me—there's something interesting I want you to see." La'gaan called out.

Huffing, Robin whirled hotly around on his heels and marched towards La'gaan.

"What?"

"Check this out." La'gaan pushed the door open to reveal a lab with containers in them.

"Woah, what's this?"

"I don't know but to me it looks like some kind of an experiment." the Lagoon Boy answered, entering the room.

"You're telling me. It looks like some kind of serum and…" Tim gasped as he had his eyes wide. "Are they real humans?

The Lagoon Boy walked up to him and had the same expression as him. "Woah…déjà vu. This reminded me about Arsenal and Superboy." he said.

"But who's planning about…"

All of a sudden, there was a low snarl which gained Tim's attention since he turned around and widened his eyes. There, a few centimetres ahead of him, was a mutant beast who snarled and growled angrily, eyes going wide since it spotted the intruders.

"Oh, mama." La'gaan reacted.

The beast gave a roar and then it started to charge towards the two. Eyes wide, Tim had barely the time to put the serum bottle back since he pushed La'gaan out of the way.

"La'gaan move!" Tim responded, pushing him out of the way. However, the beast had still managed to hit Tim by giving him a harsh push which made Tim collide at a nearby desk.

Because of the collision, the bottle flew out of Tim's hand.

Tim groaned, pushing himself but before he had even the chance to get up, the beast reacted and leaped forwards. Seeing this, Tim hurriedly took out his staff and placed it in front of him so that he blocked the oncoming claw swipe.

"La'gaan…a little…help." Tim called out, struggling to push him away.

"Coming…" the Lagoon Boy used his powers and instead of his original form, he was suddenly into an enormous beast almost the size of the creature which Tim was currently trying to fight off.

Snarling, Lagoon Boy tackled against the creature which knocked him away from Tim who was able to get up.

Tim moved his head to the side to watch the fight between the two beasts.

The masked boy narrowed his eyes when he saw the two creatures were about to hit a container that was filled with substances that didn't seemed so friendly.

"Wait, La'gaan watch out for the chemicals!"

Knowing that he won't listen, Tim took out two small round objects and threw the items towards the hole so that they could freeze up. He hit them at the bullseyes, preventing the harm.

At last, La'gaan made a powerful swipe which caused the beast to be knocked backwards and then was out-cold. Eventually, the Lagoon Boy de-transformed himself back to his original form. Because he used the power, he started to collapse but Tim ran towards him and caught him before he could fall.

"La'gaan?"

The boy flickered his eyes opens. "Ungh…I feel like I got run over by a bus."

Tim chuckled. "Welcome back, buddy."

Once La'gaan was himself again, Tim walked towards the fallen serum and picked the needle up.

"This could be dangerous. I think it's best if we take it back to the WatchTower to have Aqualad scan it." Tim replied, putting it in his pocket.

The two boys then started to walk but before they could exit out of the room, La'gaan turned around since he thought he had heard a noise.

"Wait, Tim! Watch out!" he shouted.

Too late.

Before he even had the chance to look, something had already caught him first. Tim felt a harsh hit on his head and he saw nothing but darkness. La'gaan ran towards him but he too got the same impact and darkness greeted him.

:(/\):

Batgirl frowned as she was trying to get a hold the rest of the team.

"Tim? La'gaan? La'gaan…Batgirl to La'gaan, come in, La'gaan. Anyone?" she let go of the button only to receive static.

Batgirl sighed.

"No answer from them?" Cassie asked.

She shook his head. "No…and I'm getting worried. I'm getting worried that whatever had happened to Beta may have happened to them."

"But if they did got captured, shouldn't one of them try at least to contact us?" Beetle asked.

"I don't know, Beetle. They should've but maybe something's jamming their signal or something…" Batgirl responded.

"Well, I guess we have another mission. Find out where the heck is our team." Cassie said.

"If only that were simple." Beetle spoke.

And like before, the trio didn't walked further since something alerted Beetle due to seeing a shadow that was looming over him and then…

Nothing.

:(/\):

"So, I'm assuming that everything went according to the plan?" a dark voice responded.

The person in the shadow fidgeted a little. "Er, yes and no. One of the team—two boys—had discovered the lab room…er…the forbidden one. Nonetheless, they had been captured."

The dark figure grinned nastily. "I find this ironic, don't you think? Here they were being sent to rescue their captured team but yet, they had been captured in return." he sneered. "Ironic, indeed. But, since they had discovered the lab, we shouldn't have them running around with the important information. Very well, then…Proceed to phase two."

The figure nodded. "Yes sir."

Author's Note: Well, alright. A long chapter for the long absence but I left you guys off at a cliff hanger again XD but who keeps on kidnapping? Find out in the next chapter! Toodles!
