The team headed back to the building where they found Robin. "He didn't tell us where he is. How are we supposed to find him?" Wally asked.

Kaldur was on the opposite side of the roof talking with Batman. Everyone waited anxiously to hear what Batman had to say.

"Well?" Wally asked as Kaldur walked back to him.

"He said we are to start searching for him. He will join us as soon as he can," Kaldur said.

"Doesn't Batman have a way to track him?" Conner asked.

"Yeah, Bats always has trackers on Rob," Wally agreed.

"I am sure that is how we will find him, but let us begin our search." The others just nodded and began searching the building around them.

About ten minutes later, Wally saw Batman swing through the air and into one of the buildings. "Guys, Batman's here and he just went into the fifth building we checked."

"We will meet you there," Kaldur replied.

Wally ran into the building and up the three flights of stairs and found the room Batman went into. He looked around the room, but only saw Batman. "They're not here?" he asked.

"No," Batman replied as he stood up. He had a red piece of clothing in his hand. "We missed them."

"Is that..." Wally began.

"Robin's uniform. His entire outfit is here," Batman replied angrily.

"So he's got Rob..." Wally couldn't even think of it.

"Yes, he made sure that I couldn't track him."

The others came through the door and stood next to Wally. "Is he here?" Artemis asked.

"No, Steve stripped Rob and left," Wally said.

"Did you just say stripped?" Artemis asked wide eyed.

Wally nodded and pointed toward Batman. "Yeah, Bats..." When he looked over, he saw Batman had left. Wally sighed annoyed. "Typical."

Kaldur put his hand up to the communicator in his ear. "Batman, where..."

"Start searching the city again. Steve knows we're on his trail. You and Wally will start with the middle of the city. M'gann and Conner will take the outskirts of town," Batman said.

"Understood, we will start right away," Kaldur replied.

"Make sure you call me if you find them," Batman said sternly.

"We will," Kaldur replied then shut the comm. link off. "M'gann, Conner, you are to search the outskirts of town. Wally and I are to look in the middle of the city. We are to call him if we find Robin before him."

M'gann and Conner nodded then headed to the outskirts of town. Wally just walked over to the window and looked at the buildings around him. "What if we don't find him in time?"

Kaldur walked up to him and placed a hand on Wally's shoulder. "We will," he told Wally.

Wally turned to him a bit angrily and threw off Kaldur's hand. "But what if we don't? That psycho probably wants to kill Rob!"

Kaldur sighed. "I do not know, but I believe Batman will not give up until he finds Robin, and neither will we."

They were both silent, and Wally turned back to the window. "I'm sorry, Kal. I didn't mean to blow up on you. Rob's my best friend, and after what Steve did to him before..."

"It is fine," Kaldur told him. "Come, let us begin our search." Wally nodded then they both headed out.

Dick jerked awaked when he heard a scream. He looked around and saw that they were in a new building. He continued to scan the room until his eyes fell on the bed. It wasn't until he tried to get up and yell that he realized that his hands were tied behind his back with what felt like zip ties and a gag in his mouth. When he looked down, he also realized that he was in nothing but some boxers, and they weren't his.

Steve paused and looked toward Dick. "Well, looks like our little bird finally woke up." He then turned back to Barbra. "How 'bout we put on a little show for him," he said more than asked.

Dick tried to scream at Steve and struggled to free his hands, but it was no use. The zip ties were on so tight he could feel them cutting into his wrists whenever he twisted them. All he could do was sit there and watch as Steve continued to rape Barbra. He thought he was going to be sick.

Dick sat there for two hours watching and listening to Barbra's pleads to stop. He couldn't look at them anymore. All the screams and pleads and other noises that were coming from the bed brought tears to Dick's eyes. 'I'm sorry, Barbra. I'm so sorry.' He had his eyes closed as tight as he could and his head turned away, but nothing he did seemed to help. He could still hear everything.

After another ten minutes, dick could no longer hear anything. He opened his eyes and looked toward the bed only to see Steve getting dressed. "Enjoy the show, my boy?" Dick just glared at him. Steve laughed. "I'll take that as a no."

Steve finished getting dressed then walked up to Dick and removed the gag. Dick continued to glare at him. "Bruce will find you, and when he does..."

"He'll be dead," Steve finished for him. Dick's eyes went wide. "That's where I'm heading now." He got right up next to Dick's ear. "I'll be sure to leave a little life left in him so you can say goodbye."

Dick struggled again to free himself, tears welling up in his eyes again. "Bruce would never let you beat him!" he yelled trying to hold back the tears, but failed.

Steve laughed again. "That may be true, but I'll have an advantage over him."

Dick stopped struggling and looked up at Steve with fear in his eyes. "You're going to attack him while he's Bruce."

"Yes, right on national TV. Maybe I'll leave the TV on so you can watch," Steve said as he walked over to the TV and turned it on. He then walked to the door. "I'll see you two in a few hours," he said then closed the door behind him.

Dick sat there with his head down in defeat. He didn't notice Barbra just staring at him. "So you're really Robin?"

"How long have you known?" Dick asked as he looked up at her.

"Well, I wasn't sure until he took off your mask today. He kept saying 'our little bird,' but I just couldn't believe him," she said sitting up a bit more, but making sure she kept herself covered. Dick sighed and put his head back down. "But I've always suspected."

Dick jerked his head back up, wide eyed with surprise. "You have?"

Barbra smiled. "Yeah, you not being able to come over after school, how fit you are, the scars and bruises you try to hide, the sudden injuries, you being gone without warning, the list goes on."

"Does anyone else know?" he asked a bit worried.

"No, or at least no one has told be 'bout it."

Dick sighed in relief. "Good." They were both silent for a few minutes. "Why didn't you tell me before?"

"Like I said, I wasn't sure you were Robin, and even if I did, you would've denied it."

"Yeah, probably," Dick replied with a smile.

Barbra smiled back at him. "Then what would've been the point?" They both laughed then she looked at him sadly. "Dick, how are we gonna get out of here?"

"I don't know. These ties are so tight they're cutting my wrists. Can you..."

"No, I've been trying, but the cuffs won't come loose," Barbra interrupted , knowing what he was going to ask.

Dick looked at her wrist that was cuffed to the bed. "It's not one of the cheap cuffs." He tried t remember what Bruce told him about those. "You don't have any bobby pins on you, do you?"

Barbra looked at him with a look that said, 'You're kidding, right?' "Yeah, 'cause I have clothes on to hide one in," she replied sarcastically.

Dick turned red from embarrassment. "Right, sorry."

Barbra just laughed at his reaction. "What would I do if I did have one?"

"Well, you could use it to pick the lock on one of the cuffs."

"You can do that?" Barbra asked a bit surprised.

"Yeah, why do you think the police always cuff people's hands behind their backs?"

"Oh, I never thought of that," Barbra replied. She looked around and spotted a pen on the side table on the other side of the bed. "Hey, could a pen help us?" she asked turning back to Dick.

Dick looked over at the pen. "Yeah, if you can get it apart. Can you reach it?"

Barbra looked back at the table. "I think so." She then scooted as close to the other side of the bed as she could. She reached as close to the other side of the bed as the cuffs would allow then reached out with her free hand, holding the blanket up with her chin, but couldn't quite reach it. "I can't reach it."

"Use your foot," Dick said.

Barbra nodded then twisted her body so her feet were close to the table. This time she felt the pen and tried to grab it with her toes. She dropped it twice before she finally got it. "I got it," she said happily then scooted back to the other side of the bed.

"Good, now take it apart and use the part with the tip to try and pick the lock," Dick said.

Barbra nodded again. She put the blanket under her chin again and then used her free hand and her mouth to take the pen apart. "Ok, got it, but now we have a problem."

"What?"

"I have to use my free hand, look up at the cuffs, and sit up so I can reach it good. Can I trust you not to look?"

Dick got red again. "Yeah, I promise." He then shut his eyes and turned his head.

Barbra watched him for a few seconds. When she was convinced that he wasn't going to look, she dropped the blanket and started picking the lock. "It's almost too big to fit in the hole, but... it's in."

Dick got even redder when she said that. The thought of her sitting there half naked made his mind go completely dirty, and the fact that he just heard her and Steve having sex for two hours didn't help either. "Ok," he said.

Barbra continued to pick the lock, but she just wasn't getting it. "I just can't get it. It's like it's not going in all the way."

"Barb, can you not talk like that, please," Dick asked.

Barbra looked at him confused. "Like what?" she saw how red his face was and smiled. "You dirty little bird."

"I am not," he said as he jerked his head back to her a little angry and opened his eyes without thinking.

"Dick!" she yelled and quickly pulled the blanket back up, but it was already too late. Dick was sitting there with wide eyes. "You promised!"

"Sorry," he replied turning his head away. His face was as red as Barbra's hair.

She was angry at him for looking at her, but when she saw the small bulge in his boxers, she lost all that anger and was as embarrassed as Dick was.

Both of them sat there in silence, neither one of them looking at the other. Barbra looked at the cuffs then down at the ink tube of the pen. "What if I bite the other end of the ink tube to make it smaller?"

"That could work," Dick replied still not looking at her.

Barbra smiled then chewed on the end of the ink tube unitl it was small enough to go in the hole. "I'm gonna try again."

"Ok," Dick replied.

She dropped the blanket again and tried to pick the lock on the cuff on her hand again. 'I hope I can get it soon.'

While she was doing that, Dick's mind was going wild. 'I can't believe I looked. I didn't mean too.'

'Or did you?'

'No, I didn't mean to.'

'Then why did you?'

'I... She made me mad!'

'No, you just wanted to look at her naked body.'

'No, she made me forget.'

'Just admit it, it'll make you feel better. You know you can't stop thinking about her bare breasts.'

'No, I can't.'

'Just take one more look.'

'Well, I guess one more look won't hurt.'

"I think I almost got it," Barbra said.

Dick opened his eyes and slowly turned his head back toward Barbra. "Ok," he said. His eyes went wide and he felt himself get harder when his eyes landed on Barbra's breasts. 'Holy crap!'

Barbra could feel Dick's eyes on her. She turned her head toward Dick enough to see him staring right at her breasts wide eyed. She then turned back to the cuff and smiled. "You know, dad would kill you if he saw you staring at me like that," she said playfully.

Dick quickly looked away. "Sorry." His face was red again. Barbra just laughed.

She finally heard a click and the cuff came loose. "Got it."

Dick looked back at her. "Great. See if you can find a knife or something so you can cut the ties on my wrists."

Barbra nodded then looked around. Steve had stripped her down in another room before he brought her in here, so her clothes weren't anywhere near, and she really didn't feel like carrying a big blanket around. 'Well, it looks like he's gonna see more than just my breasts. Good thing I like him.'

"What are you wai..." Dick began, but stopped when Barbra uncovered herself and stood up. His eyes went wide again.

She watched his reaction and saw the bulge in his boxers get bigger. "Settle down, boy, you may see it, but that doesn't mean you get to touch it," she said smiling.

Dick looked up and down her body. "Wha... What are you doing?"

"Just doing like you asked," she said as she walked around him and toward the kitchen. By now she was starting to get a little horny.

Dick couldn't take his eyes off her. He didn't even know how to respond to her statement.

She walked back in with a knife in her hand and went over to Dick. She then went behind him and started to cut the ties on his wrists, but stopped. "Why'd you stop?" Dick asked.

Barbra walked around him and stopped in front of him. She then sat down on his lap so they were both facing each other. She then got so close to his face they were nearly touching noses. Dick gulped. "Uhhh, Barb, what're you doing?"

'Oh, I so hope he doesn't hate me after this.' Barbra wrapped her arms around Dick's neck and kissed him on his lips.

Dick's eyes went even wider, but did nothing to stop the kiss. He even began kissing her back. Slowly their kiss got deeper. After a few more minutes, she pulled away. Dick just stared at here. "Wow," he said, not knowing what else to say.

Barbra smiled and laughed a bit then went in for another kiss. She rubbed her hands through his hair and got closer to him. She felt her breasts rubbing up against his bare chest, and she felt rather than heard a small gasp come from Dick.

Again, another few minutes passed before she pulled away. "Dick, I like you. I have for the longest time."

Dick smiled at her. "I like you too, Barb, I was just too afraid to say anything."

Barbra smiled and again began kissing him, but instead of her hand being behind his head, they were on his chest. She slowly moved her hands up and down his chest then finally rested them on his waist. She wanted do more with him, but she also wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

When she pulled away, she just sat there on his lap. Dick didn't know what to say. "Uhhh... can you untie me now?" he finally asked.

Barbra just smiled, gave him a quick kiss, got up off his lap, walked around behind him , but just stood there. "Uh, Barb, what are you waiting for?" Dick asked trying to turn and looked at her, but not having too much luck. Barbra didn't say a word. She just turned and left the room. "Babs, come on." Silence. "Babs, some on, untie me!" He began struggling again. "Barbra!"

Barbra walked back in the room, now fully dressed, and went right up to Dick's hands. "What, you think I was gonna leave you?" she asked then kissed the side of his head next to his ear.

"Well... I, uhhhh..." Dick tried, but couldn't think of anything to say.

Barbra laughed, grabbed the knife, and cut the ties on Dick's wrists. "There. Better?" she asked smiling.

Dick rubbed his wrists and looked up at her. "Yeah, thanks."

"So, I looked out the window in the hall and I don't think we're in Gotham anymore." Dick stood up and walked toward the door. "I have no idea what city we'd even be in," she continued as she followed him into the hall.

"The closest city would either be Metropolis or Blϋdhaven," he replied. He looked out the window at the end of the hall. "Well, it's not Metropolis."

"So we're in Blϋdhaven," Barbra stated more than asked.

"Yeah," he replied. "Do you know if he has any clothes around here?"

"No, I don't think he had time to grab both of us and clothes before your friends got there."

"Then how do you have your clothes?" Dick asked a bit confused.

"He made me get dressed 'cause he didn't want me goin' out naked. He put a long coat on you. I think it was a trench coat," she told him.

"Where?"

She walked back toward the room. "I think it was in the corner." She walked in and looked at the corner that was closest to the chair Dick was tied to. "Yeah, here it is." She tossed the coat to him. "I guess he didn't want people to see you in just boxers."

"How thoughtful," Dick replied sarcastically as he put on the coat. "Come on, we need to find a phone so we can warn Bruce before..."

"Uhhh, Dick, I think it's already too late," Barbra said then pointed to the TV.

Dick looked over to the TV and saw Bruce stepping up to a podium.

"This is Sally Pennet coming to you live from Gotham City Park where Bruce Wayne is about to make a statement to his son's would be kidnapper."

"I'm making this statement to Steve Savage. You may have my son, but I promise, we will find you and you will not like the outcome. Return my son and Barbra Gordon and leave Gotham and never come back if you want your freedom, but if we catch you, the deal is off."

"A brave statement, Mr. Wayne, but I don't think you're in any position to be making demands," Steve said holding a gun up at Bruce.

"No," Dick said quietly.

"How did he even get there that fast?" Barbra asked.

"That wouldn't be a very smart move," Gordon said as he and two other officers held guns up to Steve. "Now drop the gun."

"You really think I'd care? Wayne would be dead and you wouldn't have any idea where the kids are."

"Jim, he has a point," Bruce said.

Everyone on the screen, plus Barbra and Dick, remained quiet. Gordon lowered the gun slowly and the other officers did the same. "What do you want?" Gordon asked.

"Only to make a certain little kid know what it's like to lose everything he has," Steve replied then fired the gun.

"NO!" Dick yelled at the screen when he saw Bruce fall to the ground.

Gordon and the two officers put their guns back up. "Drop the gun, now!" Gordon yelled.

Alfred went to Bruce as soon as the shot went off. "Master Bruce, are you alright?"

Dick was grateful that the camera crew was up close enough to hear everything that was being said. "I... I'm fine. It's only my leg."

Alfred and Dick both sighed in relief. "Thank heavens."

"Commissioner, so you really want to take the chance of never seeing your daughter or Dick again?" Steve asked. He then fired the gun again at Bruce.

"I said drop it!" Gordon yelled again.

"Just shoot him!" Dick yelled, tears in his eyes. He then looked around for a phone. When he couldn't find one, he turned to Barbra. "I'm gonna go look for a phone."

Barbra wasn't really paying attention, but nodded anyway.

Dick ran out of the room and searched the other rooms. When he didn't find any in there, he left the building and ran across the street to the neighbor's house and knocked. "Please, if someone's there, please open up!"

The door opened and Dick saw an older woman who looked to be in her sixties. "Yes, young man?"

"Please, I need to use your phone," he begged.

"Ok," she said then stepped aside. "It's down the hall and to the right."

"Thanks," Dick said as he ran past her and down the hall.

"Is everything alright?" she asked, but Dick didn't hear her.

He picked up the phone and dialed Clark's number from memory. "Come on, come on, pick up."

"Hello?" Clark answered.

"Clark, it's Dick. You need to get to Gotham Park and help Bruce!"

"Dick? Where are you?"

"That doesn't batter! Steve'll kill Bruce if you don't get over there!"

"Alright, alright, but you need to tell me where you are."

"Blϋdhaven. Now go!"

"Alright, I'm leavin' now."

Dick hung up the phone and turned back to the lady, who was now standing behind him. "Thank you," he said then ran back to the building where Barbra was.

"Dick, Superman just showed up," Barbra said as soon as Dick walked back into the room.

Superman was in between Bruce and Steve. "Why don't you just put the gun down," Superman told Steve.

"How's Bruce?" Dick asked Barbra.

"After you left, Steve shot him in the right arm. Just before you got here and Superman got there, he shot Bruce right in the middle of his chest, but I think he's still alive."

Dick's eyes went wide and he jerked his head toward the TV only to see Superman holding Steve up in the air. "You just caused yourself a great deal of pain," Superman told Steve then used his free hand to break one of Steve's arms. Steve yelled out as Superman handed him over to Gordon.

"I... I won't tell you... anything, and you'll never... never find the kids," Steve said through the pain in his arm as Gordon dragged him to the waiting police car.

Dick and Barbra watched the two officers put Steve in the car and leave. They then saw Gordon go over to Superman. "Thank you, Superman."

"Don't mention it," Superman replied then turned to the camera. "Dick Grayson, make some noise. I'm coming."

The camera then turned to Sally again. "That's all the time we have here, but we'll be sure to keep you updated. I'm Sally Pennet, wishing you all a safe and enjoyable evening."

Dick shut the TV off. "Now we just have to make noise so Superman can find us."
