Robins POV
Panic. Chaos. Fear.
Gothams reality. Everyone over the age of 18 has completely disappeared. Including Bats. I need to calm everyone down. And get help. I run to the Batcave and send a distressed signal.

"Never press this button unless it's a complete emergency," Bruce told me firmly.

"So, for instance, Gotham is in complete chaos and everyone is panicking?" I ask.

"Exactly!" Bruce replies. "Now, get to school!"

"How are we going to calm a whole city down?" Connor asks, emphasising the phrase 'whole city'.
Ok, everyone who received the signal is here. Well, all the kids anyway. I met with all of the JL about 30km away from Gotham. We didn't go into Gotham, just in case all the adults disappeared. So, here we are, on the outside of Gotham, discussing what to do.

"Well, we can hack into the television system and send out a message to stay calm and that everything's going to be okay," Kaldur suggests.

"Yes, that's an option. And we should put them all in one area, so they aren't so scattered, but what area?" Dianne asks.

"Why can't they just stay in Wayne Manor?" Wally asks.

"One, there is too many kids and not enough space. And two, we can't afford them finding the Batcave," I replied. After about ten more minutes of discussing the area, we finally agree on the centre of Gotham.

Batman's POV
Panic. Chaos. Fear.
Gothams new reality. Everyone under the age of 18 has completely disappeared. I hope Robin is sensible enough to press the distress signal. It takes 30 minutes to reset and if Robin has pressed it, I'll have to go out and help everyone to stay calm. I don't know if he's pressed it already or not, so I'll go out for a few hours.

"Alfred, press the distress button in about half an hour and tell me if it has reset," I tell Alfred.

"Of course, Master Bruce. But may I ask where you are going and why Master Richard isn't here?"

"Everyone under the age of 18 has disappeared and I'm going to go calm all those distressed adults," I reply, grabbing my mask, putting it on as I leave.

"Good luck, Master Bruce," he says.

"Thanks." I exit the Batcave in the bat mobile. In couple of minutes I arrive at the police station. There, I help them for about 40 minutes, calming all the worried parents, some even ask if Robin is helping their children. Instead of saying I wasn't 100% sure, I said yes. They then ask how I know this, if I had spoken and why they couldn't talk to their kids, I said I couldn't speak to Robin, but I know he was keeping all kids safe. I could see relief in their eyes.

"Sir, I have sent the signal, they are 30 kilometres west of the outskirts of Gotham. All of the Justice League are there," Alfred told me through my earpiece.

"Thanks," I simply state.

"I must go now," I told Commissioner Gordan. "I've done the most I can, I think you can handle the rest of it."

"Thank you for..." I didn't hear what came after that.

3rd person

~With the team~

Batman arrives and reunites with the league.

"Ok, what do we do?" asks Artemis.

"Well, we will split up and gather everyone and put them into one spot and we will meet back here in 3 hours. That will be enough time to gather and put them into one spot. Any ideas on where to put them?" the Caped Crusader replies in his rough voice.

"We've already decided that Batman," Kal tells him. Batman turns to him. "Central City." A solemn nod from the figure in black.

"Back here in 3 hours." Bruce then turns to the younger superheroes. "Are you right to do this? This is important and if we don't finish this successfully whoever is behind this might be able to add more cities and towns, finally the world. Will you be able to handle it?"

"Yes."

"Yeah."

"Yuh-huh."

They all answer and walk back as a group to Gotham. After a 25 kilometres of walking, running and flying, one by one they all start to blur and fade from view until all they see is each member from their own team. They each look at each, nod and continue forward, all hoping not to fail this mission. Everyone needed this mission to succeed. Not just the people of earth, but the heroes. There would be no escape from the guilt.
