If Souls Return (Then Tell Them I Say Hi) - Tony Stark's Daughter in Gotham

Chapter 29: A Civil War

Dick was in the cave sparring with Jason. He dodged one of his brother's attempts at tackling him, only to meet that very fate moments later when a shout distracted him.

"Richard!" Damian yelled, rushing into the Batcave.

Jason rolled off him, and Dick stood brushing himself off as Damian ran towards them. The boy only came to a stop when Dick caught him by the arm.

"What's up Dami?" he asked, attempting to shake out the kid's hair but noticing someone else had already ruffled it.

"I think something's wrong. She left acting sad and had a backpack with her. I noticed she was wearing her suit under her jacket too."

"Are you talking about Amber?" Jason questioned dropping the towel he'd been using to wipe off his face.

"Obviously," Damian scowled. "She's up to something, and I bet Drake's in on it."

"Let's not jump to conclusions." Dick tried to calm down Damian.

The boy tore his arm free and tugged on Dick's sleeve. "You're not listening to me," Damian whined, clearly unsettled by whatever Amber had said to him before leaving. "She said she was going to see Harley, but it wasn't right. She's hiding something."

Jason made a big show of sighing, but immediately went to the Batcomputer. He was already ringing Oracle when Dick turned to speak with him.

"What are you doing?"

"The brat's annoying but he's got good instincts and I'm not waiting for another kid to get hurt. This time we're getting ahead of whatever's going on."

"And what would be going on?" Dick heard Barbara's voice ask.

"Can you comb through CCTV and see if you can find where Amber went after leaving the manor just now?" Jason requested.

"Sure thing. Is there a problem?"

Dick spoke over Jason's shoulder. "Damian thought she was acting weird before leaving and we just want to confirm that Amber's okay. I'm going to try and get ahold of Tim."

He was sent to voicemail on the second ring. It wasn't unlike Tim to ignore Dick's calls, but it didn't ease his mind any either.

A few minutes later with Dick trying to soothe Damian's worries, Barbara chimed in with concerning news.

"Okay, so I'm working on tracking her down still, but it looks like the Titans took an impromptu trip to a LexCorp research lab in Kansas. Anyone know anything about that?"

"The hell?" Jason said opening up the info Babs had sent them about the occurrence. "Those kids need to be kept on a fucking leash."

There wasn't even a moment to process the damage that had been caused by the teens before Babs was speaking again.

"Guys I've got bad news."

"Well don't keep us waiting Barbie," Jason said growing overwhelmed.

"Someone slipped past the security outside of Harley's hospital room and he's missing now."

"Do you think it was Amber?" Dick asked.

Jason cursed looking at Dick like he should know what he was thinking. "There's only one reason she'd take Harley."

Dick felt his heart drop as he understood what Jason meant. "She's going to try and go back to her universe."

Jason started barking orders at Barbara. "Call everyone in, we have to try and stop her."

"Last location I have on Tim was him using the zeta tubes downtown to visit Titan's Tower. He's taken Spider-Woman there before. It's my best guess of where she'll be headed next."
