Nightwing was forced to zeta back to Bludhaven after he tried to take control of the computer to find the kidnapper himself...again.

When he got out of the zeta beam disguised as an abandoned phone booth, he decided to go on patrol.

Nightwing smirked as he heard a store alarm go off.

Everything would be fine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eventually Richard found his way back to Wayne Manor.

He was now in his civilian clothes which consisted of black skinny jeans, a light blue turtleneck, and black shoes. 

He was about to go into his room when he stopped.

Richard instead went into Damian's room.

The aroma diffuser Damian uses to help meditate was sitting on his nightstand. 

Damian always put the diffuser there before he goes on patrol so when he gets home he can meditate before going to bed.

Richard picked up the glass jar by the diffuser, Bergamot. 

He unscrewed the cap and smelled it.

He could see why Damian liked to use it. It smelled really good!

Richard sighed sadly as he put the now capped jar on the nightstand.

He missed Damian.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Damian groaned as he woke up...in a bed?

Not his bed or any of his father's...children's beds. 

They were NOT his siblings! And as they are not, he refused to call them as such!

Damian looked around to find that everything was screwed down to the floor.

Except what was on the nightstand, a few books and a diffuser. 

Damian looked at the oil beside it, Bergamot.

His favorite. 

But whoever had him wouldn't have known that unless they were watching him.

Damian's eyes narrowed.

Okay, kidnapping him? Not cool. Spying on him? So much worse.

He decided that he'd kill this person slowly and painfully.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Why don't we all take a break? Get some food in us then come back?" Wonder Woman suggested as everyone got more and more stressed out.

They tried to find the kidnapper, but they were getting no where.

Even Batman and his gang weren't getting anywhere.

Everyone agreed. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The cape stayed in the shadows, watching his target. 

The cape smirked.

It was time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hawk and Dove were going back to their apartment.

"You want some tacos tonight? I'll make them!" Dove smiled.

"Sure!" Hawk smirked.

Just then, the cape knocked Dove off the rooftop.

"DOVE!" Hawk screamed running over to the edge.

The cape was gone...and so was Dove.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"IT TOOK HIM!" Hawk screamed as he came out of the zeta tubes.

"What took who?" Flash asked, vibrating lightly.

"That-That cape thingy took Dove!" Hawk yelled.

"Calm down, we'll find them." Batman said.

"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN! THEY TOOK DOVE! HE'S ALL I HAVE LEFT!" Hawk screamed.

"DON'T YELL AT ME! YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS A MISSING PARTNER! WE'RE ALL HURTING HERE! NOW YOU CALM DOWN OR YOU'LL BE TAKEN OFF THIS CASE LIKE NIGHTWING WAS FOR BEING EMOTIONALLY COMPROMISED, HANK!" Batman screamed right back. 

"Well, I'm sorry your child decided to try and kill you for having his favorite kidnapped!" Hank hissed, words cutting through everyone.

"Nightwing only reacted that way because he was scared for Robin." Batman said, trying to ignore the favorite comment. 

"That's a fat load of shit and you know it! Robin has always been Nightwing's favorite! You just don't like the fact that Nightwing doesn't idolize you anymore!" Hawk glared at Batman.

Batman glared right back.

"Yeah, I did say that. You're just upset that you don't have an 8 year-old boy idolizing you in your bodysuit. You're upset that that 8 year-old boy has grown up and left you. That he would rather give all his love and affection to someone else than you." Hawk hissed with a twisted grin.

Batman punched him.

"You either get yourself together or you GET  THE HELL OUT!" Batman screamed, holding Hawk by the collar.
