Brothers United

Taken

I woke to a slow steady beeping sound. It was annoying and I wanted to swat at the offending noise but I couldn't make my arm move. I heard a muffled voice, "Danny?" The voice was safety and warmth. It sounded worried. I wanted to reassure the voice that I was okay, but I couldn't make my eyes open. They're just so heavy. I tried to speak but only managed a soft hum before letting the encroaching darkness swallow me back down.  

When I woke again I managed to open my eyes just to slam them shut again. I hear a familiar voice say "hold on." then the voice says "okay, try again." I open my eyes to the welcome sight of Dick leaning over me, with a worried expression. 

"Hey" I manage to croak out. He rolls his eyes but gets me some water to sip on through the a straw. Once my throat isn't so dry I'm able to ask him "what happened?" 

Dick shakes his head "we found you buried under the rubble. We pulled you out and brought you back here. It was touch and go for awhile, but your going to be okay." 

I nod at him, something about everything still bothering me. My head feels fuzzy making it hard to think. Tim. Tim's not here. Weird. I look up a Dick and ask "Is Tim mad at me?"

He looks bothered by the question "why would you think that?"

I open my eyes. When did I close them?  "I threw him back with my powers. I was trying to keep him from being buried." 

Dick has a pinched look on his face. "I'm sure he's not mad, little brother."

I tilt my head then have to breath for a moment to let the pain fade. Ouch, no moving, right. "What do you mean your sure he's not. Where is he? Was he hurt? How bad is it?"

"Danny relax you need to rest." Dick puts a hand on my shoulder, trying to keep me calm.

"Dick just tell me!"

Dick sighs "He's gone Danny. Tim's missing. We think Slade took him." 

I felt rage sweep through me. Slade! He thinks he can just show up and try to rip my family apart. NO! I will not lose one of my brothers to that bastard! He's going to pay! 

"...anny.     Danny!!!!" I can finally make out the sound of Dick calling my name through the haze of rage I was feeling. I realize I was levitating off the bed power flowing around me. I see Dick nod at someone behind me. Then feel a warm hand on my forehead. I glance back and see Raven. She's using her abilities to put me to sleep. If I wasn't so injured I would have shrugged her off, as it is...... Slade, your a dead man when I find you, and you had better hope Tim is okay, or your death with be slow and long....... 

A/n: I'm back. Sorry I've been gone so long.  Hides under a desk. Waves. I'll try not to do it again.
