Hidden (Young Justice/Batman&Robin fanfic)

Where's Dick?

"Dick? Are you okay? Why did you call?" Wally asked through his phone.

"Why aren't you answering? Is this because I didn't tell you about Tony Zucco? I'm sorry, but I just couldn't. It would have been better for Bruce to tell you." Wally waited for a response.

"Dick. Why did you call? I know you can hear me! Stop acting as if you aren't there!" Wally was now getting frustrated.

"Come on. I already said I was sorry. What else do you want?"

"Master Dick?" Wally heard a voice on the other line.

"Alfred?"

"Master Dick where are you? I believe you dropped your phone." Alfred's voice spoke.

"Alfred! It's me Wally! Can you hear me?!" Wally yelled through the phone.

"Master Wally? Where is Master Dick? I believe he said he would be outside for only a few moments. Did he take a visit to your home?"

"Um... I'm not sure. He called me, and when I answered no one else was speaking until you came." Wally was now getting worried," Do you think he is okay?"

"He is probably fine, and just accidentally dropped his phone. I will check around the mansion for him. Do not worry. I will try to inform you when I can."

"Thanks Alfred."

"No problem Master Wally," and with that Alfred hung up. He had actually lied to Wally. Things were also going through his head about someome taking Dick, or maybe he ran away, or even is he is being harmed this very second and can't make a run for it.

He decided to just look around, and maybe Richard will pop up. Maybe he and Wally were just being paranoid.

Batman was tired and exhausted. The mission was finally completed and now he could go home. He stepped through the zeta tube sending him to the Batcave, but what he saw was not expected. The place was a mess and Alfred was frantically searching for something.

"Alfred what happened here? Did someone break in?"

"No, no one broke in."

"Then what happened, and where is Dick? Can't he help you look for whatever you need to find?"

"That's the thing Master Bruce. I cannot find Dick." Batman's eyes widened behind his cowl.

"What do you mean you cannot find him? Did he come home from the cave today?"

Bruce was heading to the computer to view the cameras in the mansion.

"He did, but he wanted to go outside to... Blow off some steam. He had come home earlier than usual." Bruce started typing quickly searching every camera. The last footage of Dick showed him yelling at Alfred, and then going outside.

"Why was he mad Alfred? What did you do?"

"It's not what I did Master Bruce. It's what you did. He found out that Tony Zucco has been loose." Batman froze at this. He was not expecting Alfred to say that.

"Is there any clues to who could have taken him?"

"No, but before he was taken or where ever he went he called Master Wally."

"Can you give me Dicks phone? I'll try to playback the call."

"Yes Master Bruce, but do remember that when you find him he won't be too happy with you. You did break a promise."

"I know...and I'll get exactly what I deserve." Bruce continued working while holding his head down slightly in shame.
