"No one came back positive." Red Robin said, the Batfamily now in the cave.

"So, what do we do now?" Red Hood asked.

"We're missing something. Or this guy is really good." Steph said.

Tim stepped towards Bruce, "Maybe we're looking at this all wrong." 

"What do you mean?" Bruce asked.

"Maybe we should look at psychological profiles and see who is most likely or has even the smallest possibility to do this." Tim said.

"Yeah! We compile a list and work it all out!" Steph smiled. 

"We only have seven people who can actual pick out these people from all of the psychological profiles of the League." Bruce said. 

"And those are?" Damian asked.

"Martian ManHunter, Will Quartz, Red Tornado, Oracle, Nightwing, Red Robin, and myself." Batman said.

"But we need to search these spots in Gotham still." Dick said. 

"Yes. So, Nightwing, you will coordinate the searches here. Red Robin and Oracle will stay here and help you with the rest of you." Batman commanded.

"I can do both." Oracle said, pulling up the camera feeds and the JL database. 

"Only if you're sure." Bruce said, "I need you to be completely focused if you do this."

"I've got this, Bruce." Barbra said, completely determined. 

"Okay! We have over 50 locations to check! I'm putting the buddy system into place in case this Cape guy tries anything." Dick said, pulling up a map of Gotham on his wrist computer. 

Batman nodded and teleported to the Watch Tower.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"So we have to go through ALL the JLA psychological profiles to see who would kidnap a bunch of heroes." Will asked, just to be sure. 

"Yes. Red Tornado will handle your profile and Oracle's, Martian ManHunter has Red Tornado's profile, I have Martian ManHunter's, and I need you, Will, to handle the rest of the Batfamily. And we'll split the JL profiles up amongst ourselves. Everyone is a suspect until proven otherwise." Batman said.

"This is going to take a while." Will said. 

"Then I suggest getting your coffee because once we start we don't leave this room. I expect total professionalism and confidentiality. And feel free to ask for help if you need it in deciding." Batman said.

"Let's do this then." Will took a sip of his hot coffee.

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

Hours later, the Gotham team fell into their seats.

"How was it?" Alfred asked, bringing a tray of multiple mugs of hot chocolate to the vigilantes. 

"A complete bust." Tim frowned, obviously upset. 

"Lets go test the few in 'Haven." Dick said. 

"Okay." Tim said.

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

 "Another bust?" Jason frowned. 

"Yep." Dick frowned, looking at Tim suspiciously.

"I need some coffee. Jason, you want some hot chocolate?" Tim asked.

"Sure." Jason shrugged. 

"You'll have to come with me. I sprained my wrist tonight, so you can carry your own mug." Tim said.

"Okay, then." Jason also looked suspiciously at Tim, but went with him none-the-less.

Once they were upstairs, and out of Richard's hearing, did Tim turn to Jason. 

"It's Dick." Tim said.

"What?" Jason asked.

"Dick is kidnapping all the heroes." Tim said.

"You're kidding. Why?" Jason asked.

"There's one warehouse in Bludhaven that was DOUSED in fear gas. He had a mission there a few weeks ago. Right when Cape showed up." Tim said. 

"We have to tell Bruce. Now." Jason said.

"How? I'm pretty sure Dick's onto me! And now he'll be suspicious of you too!" Tim said.

"Maybe we just need to powerhouse Richard. We take him together. Then once he's unconscious and tied up, we call Bruce." Jason said. 

"It's the only plan we have." Tim sighed. 

"Get your bo-staff ready." Jason said.

Tim pulled out his bo-staff as Jason pulled out his rubber bullets and placed them in his guns. 

The two of them snuck down to the Batcave. 

Jason signaled Tim, "3...2...1...GO!"

They both yelled out battle cries and ran out of their hiding spots.

Richard wasn't there.

And the whole Batcave was a mess.

"How sure are you that Richard is the Cape?" Jason asked, looking around.

"Not so much now." Tim said, grimacing. 

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Okay. There is only a handful of people who would do this." Martian ManHunter said. 

"Who's the most likely?" Batman asked.

"Nightwing." Will said.

Batman stopped for a moment.

"Okay. I'll talk to him." Bruce said.

Sudden pounding on the door and the yelling of "Batman!" caught everyone's attention.

Batman opened the door. 

"Nightwing's been kidnapped!" Tim said frantically. 

"Cape?" Batman asked.

"I don't know. It happened in the Batcave." Tim said. 

Batman stopped. 

"What?" Martian ManHunter asked.

"There was a struggle. The Batcave is a mess! And Nightwing is missing." Jason said.

"Well, that's great." Will said. 

"Who's the next most likely?" ManHunter asked. 

"Well, Nightwing has a 57% chance of doing this. Our next person has only a .14% chance." Red Tornado said.

"Who?" Batman asked.

"Supergirl." Tornado said.  

Batman looked at her. 

"You said go through everyone." Red Tornado said. 

Batman nodded. 

"Where do you think Nightwing would hide people?" Batman asked.

"A warehouse...in Bludhaven." ManHunter said. 

"Yeah, Nightwing bought a warehouse under an alias." Tim started typing on his wrist computer. 

"Here." Tim set the coordinates to Batman. 

"Gather the JLA. If Nightwing is really kidnapping heroes and on fear toxin. We all need to stop him." Batman said.

"Great. A fear toxin Nightwing is kidnapping people. And we get to stop him. He beat the whole Justice League when he was 8." Jason frowned. 

"You're coming with us. He knows everyone's moves. Lets hope we can just overwhelm him." Bruce said to Will. 

A/N: I did a goof. I forgot that I had Black Canary kidnapped. Thank you to AttackForkKing for catching it!!! :DDD
