>Continued from 'Formerly Known As Young Justice?< Falcon hopped acoss the buildings in the cover of the night. She had hitched a ride on a bullet train...on the outside of it. That' the only way to go. With the wind in her hair and whipping up cooly against her face...her troubles carried away with the draft of the wind...plus, there was the factor of the Adrenalin High from it as well.
She raced across the building tops as fast as she could. If she hurried, she could Juuuust make it to the theater...her first normal date in a lng time...not that she minded.
"HELP!" Someone cried out from across the street in a dark alley. So much for making it on time. Not like it would be the first time she had ever been late for something...but still.
"Cripes. Why now?" She fired a d-cell line and swooped down intot he alley where a woman in a wide brim hat and trench coat was getting mugged. One of the thugs had her purse while the other pointed a gun at her threatiningly...

"Where is she?" Tim Drake asked as he waited for Rachel outside of the the movie theatre. Since what had happened in the future, Tim had been trying to get back to having a normal life while he still could.
He had spent some more time with his Dad and Dana as they prepared for the baby. He had also spent some time with Ives and his none-Titan friends. Tonight was supposed to be his first real date since...
He let out sigh. Maybe she didn't want to be with him, now knowing what was supposed to happen to them in the future...
"Damnit, I'm going to be as screwed up as Bruce if this keeps up..." he said to himself and then looking around for Falcon.
"Where are you Rach?" the thought to himself.

"Realy. You'd THINK you guys could come up with SOMETHING original for once. I mean, how many times have you guys mugged a woman in the middle of a dark alley way before? It's getting old." Falcon dropped down into the midst of things, first kicking the gun out of thug #1's hands and then twisted it till she heard a satisfying crack that told her he wouldn't be shooting with that hand for a long while. "Not like it should have ever been new, of course."
She then pulled a reverse back kick, causing her to hit the thug that held the purse, in the head. "Besides, that handbag SO doesn't go with your outfit."
Falcon started to turn around to face the persom she had just saved. "Are you alright mame?"
"I;m better than YOUR going to be bird-babe." a strong brooklyn accent rang through the darkness as a wooded mallet connected with the back of Falcons head, causing her to blank out almost instantly.
"Ungh." She gave out one last cry before falling to the ground. One thing was for sure, she wasn't going to make it to the movie theater at ALL tonight.

Tim reached for his cell-phone and called Rachel's. Sure she was known for being late, but never THIS late! The phone went straight to the voice-mail telling Tim that she didn't have her phone on.
He knew that she was most likely held up on patrol or something. It had happened to him before, so he shouldn't have been very suprised. Still, he had been looking foreward to seeing Rach again. They hadn't spoken or done much since... IT had happened.
Reluctantly he turned and left the movie theatre and made his way back home.
He'd call her later and find out what had happened.
> Aww... Poor Timmy... He thinks he got stood up. Little does he know... BUM BUM BUUUM!! <

>>LOL. Hey, you care to play the Joker? I believed you had some plans cooked up...Meanwhile, I get to play the ditst blond! YAY!<<
Next day, EARLY in the morning.
Hours and hours went by before Falcon finnaly came to. "Where....where AM I?" Her head was still murky...what had happened. It must have been reaching sunup...though it felt like she had been out for only a few seconds. Her head felt like it had been hit by a truck. ****
Oracle called up Tim on his cell. Rachael hadn't come home last night. She hadn't been at the mansion either. Her cell phone was turned off. What was going on? This wasn't like Rachael to just drop out of sight. She was worrying herself into a frizzy, to say the least. If she had been having to pull an all nighter on patrol again, she would have at least called.
"Come on...please pick up." If anyone would know where Rachael had went, it would be Tim....she hoped.

Falcon was locked in a room that seemed to have no doors, nor windows. There was a bright light shining down on her, that was almost blinding.
"Well, hello my dear..." came a familar cackle. A TV screen appeared from the wall to Rachel's left, showing a familar face with white skin, green hair and a wide horrifying smile.
"Welcome to casa de Joker, Falcon..." Joker laughed.
**********
Tim let out a soft grunt as his phone began to ring (the Teen Titans cartoon them if you want to know... LOL) and rolled over and off his bed with a loud thud! He had a case of bed-hair that didn't look too different from his old hair cut. He had gotten home last night and fallen straight asleep, as he had quite often since he left the Titans Tower.
Reaching around the floor of his bedroom he finally grabbed the phone and turned it on.
"Wuz... Hello?" he said into the reciever.

>>LOL. That was priceless.<<
Falcon gulped and tried to hide the fear on her face. Oh no. Not now.
She tried to mask her fear with a snarl. "What the HECK are you upto now Joker." This time, there was now Snotty comebacks or any dissing of the entire 'Joker' look.
The back of her head had a small amount of blood trickling down from it from where she had been hit, but she payed it no mind.
******
"Tim, have you seen Rachael lately? She didn't come home last night." Barbara chewed on her lower lip anxiously on her side of the line. Something was definitly wrong here.

> Which part? The Joker intro, Robin waking up or the Teen Titans Song on his cell phone? << "Oh don't worry my lovely little birdy..." Joker's grin grew. "You'll find out soon enough!" The image of the Joker vanished an a small hole appeared in the wall. Before Rachel could react a dart came shooting out of the hole and struck Rachel in the shoulder! "Sleep tight Falcon..." Joker scoffed. ****************** Robin shot up on the floor, phone in hand. "What?!" he said loudly. "No... I-I was supposed to go to the movies with her, but she never showed. I assumed she got caught up with patrol..." His mind began to race rapidly. Where was she? Was she okay? "I'll be on my way to the Clocktower as soon as I am dressed!" he told Babs before hanging up. >>Sorry guys, I've gotta go. I've gotta eat dinner and then go to a group study session. Talk to you all tomorrow!<<

"Your...not...going to get away with this...Joker." And she faded out at last as the poisen, deadly or not, went to work and , once again, she was out like a light.
***** "Understood." Barbara nodded as she hung up the phone on her side of the line.
If anything had happened to her little sis, someone was going to pay dearly.
She quickly started to go to work on her computers, looking for any last visualization of Falcon on any of the security cams around the city.
>>The part where he fell out of bed. Dunno why...just found it a bit humourous.
Kay. C-ya later.<<

When Rachel awoke she found herself strapped down onto a table with all sorts of machinery all around.
"Awake at last?" called a voice. The Joker could be seen wearing a white doctor's jacket over his purple suit. "Don't want you to miss all the fun."
**********
Robin arrived shortly at the Clocktower looking frazzled, followed close behind by Nightwing who had recieved the call from Oracle as well.
"Have you found anything?!" Robin demanded. Nightwing place a hand on Tim's shoulder.
"Easy bro, we'll find her."

"What are you....what are you going to do." She scowled, even through her timid voice. She tried to reach to her glavoe for her pick or small knife--only to find that her gloves as well as her belt was gone.
------
"A security cam last saw her heading into an alley on Dixon and Ruckus ave. She undoubtedly heard some cry for help--but after she went into the alley...she didn't come back out. Any clues we can gather should be there." She just hoped that what they found WASN'T a dead body. Oh gosh, she pleaded it wasn't that.

"Have you ever studied the phalax files from the DEO?" Joker asked. "Quite interesting. The DEO believe that they can create a new form of nano-electronics that can repair and even re-create the human body."
Joker began to dance around. "But I think I could put those little transformer toys into something much more interesting. Can you guess what that is?" he asked, his grin growing wider.
****
"I'll check that out," Nightwing said. He mostly didn't want Robin going out in his condition. He had been so worried about Falcon, that Nightwing saw that he almost missed firing his jumpline when they were on their way here.
"But-!" Robin said wanting to argue.
"No buts!" Nightwing said firmly. "You and Babs check out every bus, train and airport for any signs of Falcon." He gave Babs a look that said 'don't let him go out.' He wanted Tim to calm down and think with a clear head.
Although no one had told him the details of their recent trip though time, he knew that something bad had happened to Tim. And frankly, Dick wasn't sure if Tim was up for detective work tonight.

Falcon stared at him, glaring with hatred. "You're sick."
****
Barb' nodded. "Come on Robin. I'm sure we can find some kind of clue to her where abouts." She wheeled herself to the computer room. Knowing her computer systems would stop Robin from leaving the tower with the touch of a button.
She hoped Dick would respond as soon as he found ANYTHING. Both for her own sake and Tims.

"Funny you should mention that!" Joker smiled.
"You ever had the chicken Pox? Well when I'm done with you, you'll wish you still had them." He held up a needle with a bright pink liquid in it.
"Over the stomach and into the thighs, toss your cookies and roll your eyes!" Joker jammed the liquid into her leg painfully.
"Don't worry, that's only injection #1. Now Injections 2 and 3! Those are going to hurt!"
****
Robin reluctantly nodded and stood with Babs as they began to search for Rachel.
Nightwing meanwhile fired a jumpline and made his way to Falcon's last position. As he landed in the alleyway. He had found one of her D-Cell lines and he found signs of a fights and where Falcon had been taken down as well as blood spilled. He hoped it wasn't hers.
"Nightwing to Oracle, I'm here. No sigh of Falcon, yet. Anything on your end?"

Falcon fought down a crey of pain as the virus was injected into her. "UGhn" She strugled against her bonds and, if they hadn't of held her down, she would have leaped right at the Joker.
****
"I think so... A ..toy truck was seen pulling out from behind the alleyway by a store across the street about five minutes after Falcon disappeared into the alleyway." Oracle stated. "Any sign on tire tracks?"
