It's going on the second day.

Nothing.

No paper trail, no clues, nothing at all.

Currently the family stared at the photo of Nightlight on the computer, they read over her protocols multiple times. Her rules, her ministry, everything.

"What to do what I go missing?..Hm" The video played as Jade let out a giggle. They were videos that Bruce all made them do in precaution, most of them didn't take it serious, she was included.

"I have no enemies"

"Liar"

"I have one enemy" She glared at Damian off screen making him laugh.

"Unless I have like a stalker or something, at best I could just be dealing with a magic thing. Questions to think, Have you called Constantine? Zatanna? Maybe Doctor Fate finally coughed up the helmet and gave it to me"

"Highly doubt"

"Damian I swear to god-"

They paused the video, no true clues coming to. "I'm sending around the sonic bat plane to scan for sound. Let me know when the mind link turns on-" Bruce pauses as he watched a note slowly fall from the ceiling. He opens his hand, watching it land gently. His eyes widened as he read over the note.

"Unless I have a stalker or something"

"She's been kidnapped by a stalker" Bruce confirms, he puts the note in an analyzer. "Everyone, tonight the search is restricted to the south areas of Gotham. And Alison?"

Ali took a deep breath looking at her in law. "Call Jason...now" Bruce walked over to the Batmobile, Damian hoping in after him. Tim got on the bat cycle, waiting for Dick. "Do you want me to do it instead?" He took her hand, his eyes filled with concern. "No, if you do it he'll probably want to kill you" Ali smiled, leaning up to kiss his cheek. "I got it baby, you start searching for her" Dick gripped her hand a bit tighter before finally releasing them. He gets on the motorcycle with Tim, taking off behind the family.

Ali stared at her phone, Jason's contact in particular. How was she going to do this? Damian told her that he's been blowing up Jade's phone with messages, one of them being "you aren't mad at me because of the Roy thing are you" which only made her question what thing with Roy was he talking about. Never mind that, she didn't have time to think about it. She hits the green call button, taking a deep breath.

It rings for a few moments before it picked up.

"Mhm...hey Ali, what's up?"

Jason laid comfortably in his bed. As sore as his body from fighting, running, and other activities, he deserved an off night.

"Mhm..." Janelle yawned as she rubbed his face. Her bare chest pressed against his back as her fingers circled his abs. "Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did" "Of course Nellie baby" Jason chuckled as he turns to face her. Looking at her, Janelle took away all his worries sometimes. Last night he couldn't stop thinking of his sister. He hasn't heard from her in days and usually she always texts him some point during his days, even if he doesn't respond some days. He reaches for his phone and opens his messages.

My Magic Star✨

I don't feel comfortable around him anymore. I get that he's your best friend n all but I just don't want to be around him right now. I love you tho

                You never told me what happened

Last conversation they had about three ish days ago. Going on day four, there's a deep pit in his chest thinking of her. What happened between her and Roy? He won't talk about it and it pisses him off. His ringtone went off, he glanced at the caller. Ali? What could she want?

He presses the phone to his ear, pulling Janelle closer into his chest. The woman relaxed and closed her eyes once again, she was also tired from her trials before she found herself back in Jason's bed. He rubs her back gently as he pressed the phone to his ear.

"Mhm...Hey Ali, what's up?"

It was quiet on the other end briefly, making him raise his eyebrow. "Hey Jay...are you alone?" "...Define alone" Jason looked down at Janelle, she looked fast asleep in his chest. "Is Trick there?"

"No"

"Good enough" Ali took another deep sigh. "What's up Ali? You never call me this stressed. Oh" Jason readjusted himself in bed, sitting up slightly. Janelle wined a bit, trying to pull him back down. "In a second Nellie." He rubs her shoulder as he sat up on the edge of the bed.

"Nellie? You didn't tell me Janelle was there"

"You didn't ask" Jason chuckled rubbing his jaw. "Is Jade mad at me? She hasn't next me in four days" Ali went quiet on the other side. "I just...I need to know if I gotta beat the shit out of Roy you know? He's hiding some bullshit and...I don't know if I'll be able to tolerate it anymore" Jason checks his phone to make sure Ali was still on the line, and sure enough she was.

"Ali?"

She took a shaky breath. "Are you sitting down?" "Yeah? I mean. I called in for the night, did my shit already" Jason eyebrows furrowed together. "Is something wrong?"

"Jason, Jade has...She's been kidnapped" Jason jumped up out of bed, slightly startling Janelle. She sat up afterwards, rubbing her eyes.

"What."

"She's been gone for at least three days now. We thought we could find her within given time-"

"So you all decided to wait to fucking tell me?!" Jason took a deep breath before he could continue. "Do...Do we at least know who it could be?"

"Uh...A stalker broke into the house and took her. We-We all heard the commotion of things in her room but when we got there she was gone"

Jason had a lot of words to say, he holds his tongue. He took a deep breath, pitching the bridge of his nose. "Do you have any leads?" "Jade was able to send a note somehow. She said she can only see Wayne tower from the South side. Everyone is out looking for her right now and Bruce even called in a few favors...We just need more help"

Jason fell silent, the touch of Janelle slightly relaxes him as she sits up to hug him from his back. "What's the matter Jay?" She whispers quietly.

"I'll start searching tonight. I'm about to get up"

"Thanks Jay. Dick started-"

Jason hangs up before she could go on. He takes a deep breath, holding his face in his hands.

"Jay?"

"Get dressed. Jade's been kidnapped"

Janelle pauses as the man stood up to grab his pants. "Oh my god, who took her?" "We don't know" Janelle sat up and threw on her sports bra. "Jesus Christ, how long has she been-" "I don't want to get into now" Jason said sternly as he fastened his pants. "Your guesses are as good as mine sweetheart." Janelle brushes her thick curly hair into a high puff, tying it around with a ponytail holder. "Goddamnit" She mutters, "So much for having an off day" Janelle slips into her dark red bodysuit.

Jason stares at himself in the mirror as he puts the rest of his armor on. Nothing but straight fire behind his eyes as he puts his helmet on. Whoever took her doesn't understand who the hell they are fucking with. He gets a ding on his phone, looking over at it resting on his dresser.

Trick
About time you get here huh

He rolls his eyes, how come she gets to know before him? He shoved his phone into his holster and grabbed his guns. Sure, he should be using rubber bullets. Not today though, whoever took her is getting lead.

God help the sick bastard that has her captured.
