"Well THAT went smoothly." Falcon said sarcasticly as she picked herselg up from where she fell in the back after the jolt. "What do we do now? We HAVE to shut them down."

"Better question." Tim started. "Where are we anyway? Looks like Gotham...But that's OUR dimension right?... MY dimension." He corrected himself. It wasn't Rachaels after all. Not really.

Rachael felt a little hurt, but didn't let it show. It was starting to feel like it was her demension, like she really belonged here. She sat down on the back of the Van and starred up at the cloudy sky. She sure hoped it was. Otherwise she was going to strangle her brother.
"Yeah. It's Gotham alright." Her brother said as he put his demensional device away.

"This device" Mike patted the pocket which held the trans-demensional device. "Not only does it allow me to demension hop. It also allows for teleportation and time travel. Once you figure out how to demension jump, the other two are as easy as pie."
Falcon sat on the back of the van, which was in an abandoned alley, and continued to look up at the sky. She ignored the rest as they talked. She was only thinking about how this whole thing was her fault and how her new family might be more safe if she just went back. But she knew that there would only be danger, with or without her and she felt at home here...but still. She hadn't told her brother of her decision to stay yet. And she was glad she didn't since she was considering changing her mind. She just felt so...lonely. But she knew this lonliness would only increase if she went back. She was so confused. A tear fell from her cheek but she quickly wiped it away.

"Hey, you alright?"
Tim sat down next to Rachael, putting his arm around her.
"What's wrong? Is it something I said?"
Nightwing and Mike exchanged glances, then rolled their eyes.

As Robin and Falcon spoke, Nightwing removed a small devise from this glove. The DEO had taken alot of Nightwing's armor and weapons, still he had been able to hold onto a few gadgets. One such gadget being a remote control to the vehicles. Oracle had devised a new remote control that could be set to any Bat-car in case of emergency. In this case Nightwing set it to the Humvee, considering how many people they had and that Robin was hurt. EAT 10 minutes, trafic forbiding.
Second thing was to contact Oracle hereself.
"O? Its Nightwing, do you copy?"
"Dick!" came a relief and nervous reply. Barbara hadn't even used a voice synthsizer. "Its about time? What happened? Are you guys okay? It Tim and Rachel okay? Whats going on?! It's been insane since you left! Batman's vanished! So has the Titans and the JLA and the JSA! I can't contact anyone, not even Dinah! Alfred's worried sick! "
"Geeze! Breath, before you pass out!" Nightwing said laughing. "Babs relax! We're all okay! And we have a guest. Rachel's Brother."
"Brother? What do you mean...?"
"Don't worry," Nightwing said. "We''ll explain everything once we're settled. But I need you to do something first. Call Alfred and Dr. Thompkins and tell them to meet us in the cave. Tell Leslie that Robin's hurt. He got some help but needs a touch up. I think Falcon and Mike or good."
"What about you?"
Nightwing took a deep breath. "Physically I'm perfect if not a bit hungry."
"And psychologically?" Barbara pressed.
"I've been better. Look I'll explain everything back at the Cave okay?"
"All right Shortpants. But don't scare me like that ever again! Oracle out."
Nightwing smiled and shut down his com link. It had been a long couple of days, and he need to sleep. "Hopefully Babs and I'll get that chance." he mussed as the Humvee sped around the corner and stopped only inches away from Mike's face.

Nightwing moved around to the drivers seat. Tim was stil hold on tightly to Falcon, while Mike stood in shock of the car nearly running him over.
"Oh, relax man!" Nightwing assured him. "Get in guys. Oracle has some major news for us. We need to get back to the cave. All right?"

Rachael nodded, she'd talk to Tim about what was bothering her later. Maybe Oracle could give her some advice. She relunctantly got up from where she and Robin were sitting on the back of the DEO van and headed for the Humvee.
Mike just backed away from the car, shaking his head and mumbling to himself about what he was getting into.
"Let's hope Oracle can give us an inkling onto what the heck is going on." Falcon said as she climbed into the back seat.

With Nightwing's driving they arrived in the Batcave in no time at all. Upon arrivial they found the concerned lookes of Alfred Pennyworth, Dr. Leslie Thompkins and on the Batcomputer was a very tired looking Barbara Gordon AKA Oracle.
As the four young heroes got out of the Humvee, Alfred was the first to speak.
"My word! Master Timothy! What have you children been doing?"
Dr. Thompkins cut in. "Not now Alfred let me get a look at that shoulder Tim."
Oracle turned to the other remaining heores. "So is someone going to tell me what happened to you guys?"

"Not me. I'm going to bed."
Tim rubbed his bloody forehead where a large bruise was coming up and crossed to the stone stairway leading into the manor.
"Let Nightwing tell you."
He closed the grandfather clock behind him and walked out of the study and into an empty guestroom, collapsing on the bed.

Nightwing explained to the others their entire adventure in Hawaii with breif additions from Falcon and Mike.
"Well that still doesn't explain what Bedlam has to with our psycho of a world leader. And what happened to Spoiler?" Oracle asked.
Nightwing suddenly realized that they must have left Steph back in Hawaii. "Um... Ooops?"

As Tim left the room, Rachael averted her eyes from the computer screen. It was her fault that they were in this mess to begin with. Mike stood by silently, deciding it was best to let the others do the talking.

Tim typed in a code on his com-link.
A secure line opened in his and Rachael's, even Oracle'd have trouble hacking this, and set it to vibrate only.
He typed in the morse code and set it to vibrate the code on Rachael's link.
:: Rach', come to first room on left... Need talk... Hurry...::

"If you guys don't mind, I'm going to go up stairs and...rest." Falcon said as she backed out of the cave and rushed up the cave stairs. Mike shook his head in dismay. His sister was loading herself up with to much unneeded guilt.
--
"Tim?" Rachael whispered as she knocked on the door. She had quickly grabbed a robe from the spare bedroom Alfie' had set for her when she was to tired to head back to the clock tower after patrols. Alfred didn't like them to go upstairs in their costumes, so she quickly grabbed the house coat before looking for Tim.
