Superman went to the watchtower and gave Aquaman the locket. Aquaman opened it to see a picture of his mother on one side and a picture of his wife and brother on the other side. He basically ordered the league to search for his missing son. And yes, he did say son. Some how, by some way, the press got hold of the fact that Aqualad was missing and all hell broke loose when the Team saw the report. The stormed the Watchtower and demanded answers.
"How could you not tell us that KAldur went missing?" Robin asked to Batman.
"We should be looking for him!" KF said angrily.
"Stop. This is not going to help find my son.' Aquaman said as he walked in the room.
"Arthur, I thought we told you to rest. You haven't slept in weeks now." Wonderwoman said.
"I could not rest. I will when I find my son." Aquaman said as he clinched the locket in his hand.
"Is that his locket?" Superboy asked.
"Yes. They found it covered in his blood. God, I should have never let him have that apartment. I should have never.." Aquaman said angrily as he slammed his hands down on the table.
"You could not have predicted what would have happened." Miss Martian said as he tried to comfort him.
"This is why I never wanted him on the surface. I feared something like this would happen." Arthur said as he fought back the tears.
"We will find him Aquaman. We need Kaldur home as much as you do." Artemis said.
"I know. He was always worried about you all. He would spend days blaming himself if any of you got so much as starch." Aquaman said with a small sad smile.
"I never knew he cared so much." Black Canary said.
"Why would anyone want to kidnap Kaldur?" Robin asked the million dollar question.
"We checked all of Aquaman's enemies. Either they are in prison here or back in Atlantis." Batman said.
A phone rang softly and Megan checked her pocket.
"Who is this?" Miss Martian asked.
"Have you checked Kaldur's enemies?" The woman's voice said over the phone.
"Amanda Walker." Batman said slowly.
"Hello Batman. You might want to check Aqualad's enemies." Amanda said.
"Why should we?" Aquaman said.
"I had Kaldur do me several favors in the past could of months." Amanda explained.
"What did he do?" Superboy asked.
"Relax Connor, I never made him do anything immoral. Just had him break a couple laws but you do that anyway right Batman." Amanda explained and you could just hear the smirk on her face.
"Let us know if you find him Amanda." Batman ordered.
"I will find him. You know me by now rich boy, I get what I want." Amanda said as she hung up.
"Does that woman know everything?" Robin asked looking at Batman.
Batman just kept silent.
"What's in the locket?" Artemis asked curiously.
Aquaman opened it to show the pictures.
"He wanted this before he left for the surface. To have a piece of the people he loves." Aquaman said as he closed it softly.
The team realized that they had to find Kaldur. If not for their sakes, but for the sakes of Kaldur loved ones. They searched the entire globe looking for any leads on him. Roy even joined in on the hunt for him. They searched for Kaldur for a year with a single trace.
