"What do you want?" Matt asked, his voice was shaking, most likely with anger since one has his daughter.

"We're only here to take Zane back to his parents, they have been looking for him." The woman answered. I feel like she was here to do all the talking because if anything the Mist guy has been the one doing all the work.

"What are you talking about? Why would his parents want him back, they laterally threw him to the side of the road!" Wally exclaims, he starts to take steps back to stand more in front of me but still be farther ahead directly in the middle of everyone.

"Why they want their kid back, is none of your business. It's simple really, Zane comes with us, and we let your daughter go."

Matt was quiet for a moment, I knew badly that he wanted to help her, but he also didn't want to say yes to this agreement either.

The window to our right shattered and Red Tornado came flying in right as the glass settled on the ground. He startled the woman as he went to attack her, she let go of Matt's daughter in favor of grabbing on to Red as he tried to punch her. She went to throw him but he held on to her and dragged her across the room, that's when a shadow went past us where Red came from and went for Mist. When they landed we saw that it was Batman.

Matt immediately went to his daughter. "Ally!" He shouted, catching her attention. Ally ran to him and jumped in his arms and carried her back quickly over to me and Wally.

"We need to go!" Wally says, turning around from the fight and pushing us out the door and down the sidewalk.

Wally's efforts don't do much as their fighting spills out into the streets. Well, I say 'spilled out into the streets,' more like launched out, because Mist and Batman were thrown into the street, most likely by each other.

Red Tornado wasn't far behind though with the other, but he was more graceful, having used, well, tornadoes to throw her out the same window that was broken.

"Follow me! Trust me. they'll catch up." Wally runs off at a speed we can keep up with. I look over my shoulder one more time, probably to tell myself that their okay as we follow Wally down a few alleys.

"We should be safe here." Wally says leading us into a section of a run down building, but with the size of it it may as well be a broom closet. Me and Wally would have put our bags down if they weren't long forgotten on Matt's living room floor.

"Where is here exactly?" Matt asks, setting down Ally on the floor, she started walking around to get a better look around and I followed suit.

"A safe house. One of many actually, every city has one in case a hero needs to go into hiding. This is one of many in Happy Harbor." He walks over to one of the beds and collapses back first onto it, and didn't look comfortable because he immediately sprung back up.

"So, what are we supposed to do now? Wait for Red and Bats?" I ask, opting to just sit on the floor instead since it seemed easier to sit on than the bed.

"As much as I hate the idea, yeah. No matter how bad I wanna leave before they get here and chew us out!" He exclaims.

"So what are you guys gonna do now? Are you still gonna go and talk to them?" Matt questions, joining me on the floor and Ally following close behind.

"Might as well, we come this far to not find out anything." I answer.

"Yeah, but what about what they said? They said your parents were looking for you and practically hired them to get you." He starts to exclaim, his voice filling with worry. " They tried to kill you and now they know that you're alive somehow and hired those two, which by the way don't seem very nice, to get you for them?"

"Okay see when you put it like that-" Wally starts, having a glum look on his face and sliding down dramatically off the bed to join us on the floor.

"To be honest we have every right mind to send you both back to the Mountain." Me and Wally let out a hiss sound and didn't even want to turn to see the two heroes behind us, one most likely having the darkest glare on his face right now.

"Okay fair, but question? How did you even find us!" He challenged, finally meeting Batman's eyes.

"The same way you found your way around, just faster."

"Z was not permitted to leave the Mountain with you. Only a League member is allowed to take you outside of a certain area from the Mountain. Had you asked, I'm sure someone would have gone." Red Tornado steps in.

"I know... I just wasn't thinking at the time and just asked Wally to go, but I mean he is trustworthy... sometimes." I offer a smile to Wally who had a playful hurt look on his face.

"This discussion can wait till later, for now since we're here we might as well see this through." I give a sigh of relief and my body relaxes more, knowing that this wasn't all for nothing.

"Now that we have that solved," Red starts turning his attention to Matt and Ally. " Who are these two?"

"Family. I'm Matt and this is my daughter Ally, before we got interrupted I was telling them where to find Zane's parents."

"Thank you for helping them, I however would advise you to stay here for your own protection while we deal with this. The League will also cover the damages to your home."

"Thank you as well, all I ask is to keep him safe." Matt stands with Ally as he turns to me. " Be safe, we still have time to make up for."

"Promise."
