"So, Bats, what's the plan?" Red Robin asked.

"Not here." Bruce said.

They were currently walking to the transporters.

"Everyone is allowed to go back to their home and continue with their lives." They heard Superman say in the background.

They heard some heroes start to protest because they haven't caught 'Cape' yet.

The Zeta Tubes fired up around Tim and Bruce as they were teleported to the Bat-cave.

Recognized: Batman- 01, Red Robin B-12

"Heyya!" Richard greeted them as they walked in.

"Dickie!" Tim yelled before running to him and giving him a big hug.

"Hey, kiddo! I missed you!" Dick held Tim close.

"I'm tired." Bruce said, coming out of the changing rooms, no longer in the Bat suit.

"Cuddle!" Richard laughed.

"No. I have work to do." Bruce said.

"Just an hour. Then you can work again." Dick said.

"No." Bruce said, knowing that if he cuddled Richard, he wasn't getting back to the computer until tomorrow.

"I'll cuddle you!" Tim said, smiling at his older brother.

"Yeah!" Dick smiled, wrapping his arms around his little brother.

Dick's smile didn't reach his ears like it normally did though.

He wanted Bruce to cuddle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bruce tapped away at the computer.

He had to find out who the Cape was.

And he had to do it now.

Leads.

What leads did he have?

How to catch this Cape?

Or better yet, how to find the missing heroes?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a few hours later, and Tim was asleep.

Richard slid out from the bed and covers.

He had to go meet someone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bruce's lips thinned into a line.

He had absolutely no leads.

Bruce pushed his hair back and while he did that, an alarm sounded.

Bruce immediately clicked to see what was going on.

A camera came up showing one Richard Grayson sneaking out of the Wayne Manor grounds with a backpack on his back.

Where was he going?

And without any transportation?

They lived a few miles from anything.

Where was Richard going?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Richard smiled, walking down the road that lead to their manor.

He would see his friend soon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eventually, Dick got to a familiar place in the woods.

He pulled his backpack off and set it down.

As he crouched, he sensed a presence.

A familiar presence.

So, Bruce was watching.

That was fine though!

Richard pulled out a can and water bottle from the backpack.

He then moved a pile of leaves from the bottom of a tree.

The bottom of the tree, however, was hollow, but not empty.

Inside, there were five little face looking at him.

Richard laughed, putting the now open can in the tree.

He then pulled out a paper bowl, dumping some of the water into it.

The five faces came over and immediately started drinking the water and eating the food.

Richard laughed as the little kittens had their breakfast.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bruce's eyes narrowed.

Seriously?

He thought Richard was sneaking out to do something else.

Not feed kittens!

Bruce sighed.

His son did have a soft spot for animals though.

And he knew that Bruce wouldn't let him have five kittens in the Manor.

At least his son wasn't doing anything else.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Now, what are we going to do about the Cape? We still haven't caught him." Green Lantern said.

"Hasn't anyone put on their S.O.S. beacons?" Wildcat asked.

"Yes. But this Cape has a disruptor. We lost the signal soon after it was turned on." Supergirl said.

"How soon?" Batman asked.

"The beacon moved then stopped about less than a minute later. I think they have a disrupter in the transportation vehicle." Supergirl said.

"Nothing else?" Batman asked.

Supergirl shook her head.

"This guy is good. Skilled. He knows what he's doing." Wonder Woman frowned.

"So how do we catch him?" Green Lantern asked.

"We wait. Everyone is to patrol like normal. Be ready to press the S.O.S. beacon. And leave any clues you can." Batman said.

"How can we leave clues if we're being kidnapped? Or unconscious?" Vixen glared.

"Try. Before you're unconscious. I don't care how you do it, just do it." Batman glared back.

He won't take any sass.

I know this is horrible. I'm trying to get back to writing this fanfic, so it'll be a bit rocky at first.
