Recap because I was gone so long-

"Ok, let's lay down the facts. It's obvious their talking about Damian, they probably don't know us considering, their questioning if we care about him, and Damian has changed somehow. None of this looks good." After that, everyone looked as if they had been shot down.

They had no clue what to do. And then dick had an idea.

"Hey guys, I know what to do. Why don't we . . ."

Recap done-

". . . why don't we just call the justice league" Dick said. You could almost see the excitement at the thought. Especially with the possibility that the rest of his superhero family to help him. Only problem is, Bruce's face showed indifference at the suggestion.

Dick, having not looked at Bruce yet, doesn't notice the obvious discomfort at the possibility. "Come on" Dick said with enthusiasm lacing his words "this could be a great opportunity. We could get green lantern, Wonder woman, and flash. The Martian man hunter would probably be willing to come". Dick finally turned towards Bruce, only then noticing the look that sat upon his face. A look of consideration and slight discomfort decorated his features.

"I don't know about this. Things could go seriously wrong, remember last time." Bruce finally commented. Of course he remembered, how could anyone forget last time. The anger that all the league members sported. The disbelief, that batman could actually hurt his own son and drive him out of his house, was evident on their faces. What surprised everyone more then anything was when superman punched batman, not at full power of course, but, right in the face.

Of course batman fought back and a huge brawl broke out. Afterwards Bruce had to be helped back to the cave as he had six broken ribs, a sprained wrist, and a twisted ankle. He was kept on watch by Alfred for almost four months, Superman didn't get away without some injuries either. As you can tell it was Very memorable moment in time.

So, dick could understand Bruce's hesitance, still this would most likely be their best options. He had to give it up he couldn't win, not on this subject at least. With a sigh dick says "Its OK, i get it. We don't have to ask them for help. Were the bat-family, we can do this on our own." A small forced smile sits on his face as he says this. With eyebrows scrunched up, smile stretched to far, and eyes closed, its easy to tell Dick doesn't agree with what he just said. They don't need more sadness around here, So he's being happy for everyone.

Over the years Bruce had gotten softer, So seeing Dick's, obviously, sad face made him freeze in his spot. It was blatant he wants to say 'No we aren't going to ask them for help' but he can tell Dick needs this. He needs to find his brother or it wont be long before there isn't even a fake smile to show. Bruce's face relaxes a little before he says "No, it's OK. We can call the league for help".

The fake smile is immediately dropped replaced by surprise. He hadn't expected Bruce to give in. This just shows how much more time he needs to spend with the family, he didn't know how much of an effect he had on Bruce. This had to be their first real chance they've had at finding Damian, in a long time. This was the highlight of his day.

"For real, like, for real, for real" Is the first thing to leave Dick's lips. The layers of excitement could be heard building up in his words. With a slight chuckle, directed at his use of words, Bruce answers with "Yes, despite my "argument" with Clark, i have no right to keep you from finding your brother. We can call for a meeting tomorrow".

With water beading in the corner of his eyes and a smile bright on his face, Dick nodded before quickly leaving the cave. Heading straight for bed he prayed the league would help them.

NEXT DAY (yall I forgot about Jason and Tim in the last part so there going to be here ok)

There they were, in front of the league, with their hearts in their sleeves and the letter in hand. Superman sat in the corner of the room with a scowl on his face, directed at batman. Nightwing, Red hood, and Red Robin stood on either side of batman, blank expressions present on each of them.

"Why did you call us here, Batman" Superman said with an unidentifiable emotion. Batman sighed, tired of the tense relationship the two were holding. After clearing his throat, Batman looked each of the league members straight in the eyes. Finally, he says "Someone knows where my son, also known as the former robin, is. We need help getting him back".
