Dick's muscular body blocked the doorway. "Going somewhere?" He asked. His brow was lifted just enough to show inquisition.

"I... I had an errand to run." Said Alister.

"You needed your armor to run an errand?" Dick asked.

Alister sighed. "Okay fine, you caught me. Wally updated me on the drug KB I told you about a few months ago. There's a huge shipment going down tonight, and I'm gonna stop it."

Alister pushed against Dick's chest. His attempt to push Dick aside did nothing. It felt like pushing against a cement wall.

"You're planning on leaving without telling anyone?"

Alister sighed. "I was coming back, Dick. I promise." He said.

Dick nodded. He stepped aside as a way to let Alister know he believed him. "So this shipment, how big are we talkin' here?"

Alister rolled his eyes as Dick followed him down the hall. "Wally only sent me one plate number. I'm going to hit them before they cross state lines." He said.

"Alright, let's go."

Alister stopped in his tracks. He turned to Dick and put a hand on his chest. "Woah, woah, woah, you don't have to come. This is my mess."

"I thought you learned by now, your mess is my mess." Said Dick with a smirk. He lifted Alister's hand from his chest. He clung to Alister's wrist for a short moment.

Alister looked into Dick's eyes. He shook his head. "You're a real piece of work, Grayson. You know that?" He said with a grin.

"I've been told once or twice." Said Dick.

They stepped into the main room. Much to their surprise, Donna was waiting for them at the elevator.

"Donna, what are you doing here?" Alister questioned.

"Wally called. He was worried you'd run off and do something stupid again. Even though I'm pissed at you, I won't let that happen." She said.

Alister shrugged. "Fair enough, but just the three of us. This is a stealth mission." He said.

Donna hailed the elevator. "How do you expect to stealthily disable a tanker on the interstate?" Donna asked.

"Now that you mention it, it doesn't make much sense." Said Alister. He filed into the elevator after Dick and Donna.

"Then we hit the warehouse instead of the truck." Dick suggested.

"Only problem is, we don't know what warehouse they're going to." Donna said.

"They're going to the same warehouse. This product is straight out of the lab, the big boss will want to meet with his guys before they move out." Alister said.

The elevator spit the Titans into the lobby. Alister tapped his screen and sent the location to his friends. "This is the route the truck is taking, and the plate number." He said.

Donna examined the route. "There's a good chance they'll use I-80, Dick and I will be waiting in the car for the location of the warehouse."

Alister nodded. He turned to fly away. His liftoff was prevented by Donna's hand on his shoulder. He turned to face her.

"Don't... Don't do anything rash, Al. Wait for us to get there before you go in." She said.
