As the group split up, the person from earlier called out to the blonde archer who was going to go help pull together weapons for those who didn't have any since she wasn't much help with locating where the speedster was.

"Artemis," Red Arrow stated as she paused, "Why?"

"Why what?" She asked too innocently.

"Why do you act like you don't care about Kid Flash?"

"I do-"

"Don't lie," he frowned as she opened her mouth and closed it while looking away, "I know something's bothering you."

"I want this to have never happened," she glanced to see his bewildered expression, "This whole 'Kid Flash getting kidnapped' thing. I feel bad about how I reacted to him on the team. I just don't know how to help."

"The comment earlier?"

"I didn't mean anything by it," she smiled wistfully as she collected several weapons the others would need like baterangs and stuff, "I'm glad he's smart enough to have sent us a message without that monster knowing...it's just..."

Roy raised a brow in concern before she continued.

"You know the situation I was in before you guys helped me," she swallowed hard before continuing, "And I was lucky enough that my dad wasn't that abusive. When Jade left, it got worse, but at least, I didn't have my mom doing that too."

"Artemis."

"Yeah?" She peered at him.

"Just show him you don't hate him when he gets back. Let him know that you understand," the redhead stated with a grin, "If I understand from the only time I've met him, he'll need all of our support even if he doesn't want it."

"Okay," she beamed as she grabbed the materials and Red Arrow grabbed the rest, "Hey, Roy?"

"Hm?"

"Thanks," she spoke softly, "Just thanks for hearing me and helping me think things out."

"No problem," he ruffled her hair, "That's what big brothers are for."

She shoved him gently before leaving the room with a smile and a hopeful attitude.

In the meantime, both Flash and the three Rogues finished their lists.

"Let's cross-check it, mate," Captain Boomerang stated as he grabbed the paper, "May 'liminate who it can be that has our ankle-biter."

"Let's do it," Flash stated determinedly without question as he came to the three, "Mind if I-"

"Here," Mirror Master handed the sheet to him and he quickly scanned both to see a hand full of names that were the same.

"So we have a few still left," the red-clad hero exclaimed as he circled them, "Klarion."

"It's not him!" Trickster shouted excitedly.

"Tricks is right," Piper came up to them with a grimace, "His voice is too annoying to not instantly recognize."

"Could be using a voice charm or some type of magical thing."

"No," Piper pointed to his ears, "It's hard for someone to trick me with my hearing."

"Grodd?"

"Probably not," Mirror Master explained with a shrug, "He hasn't been in Central for awhile."

"Vertigo?" Flash raised a questioning brow, "How did all if these guys become your enemies? I think your list is longer than mine."

"Other villains try to take over Central," the blond stated as he pulled out some candy from one of his pockets, "But we don't let them."

"And no," the Aussie replied before Flash could state anything, "It's not 'im."

"Zoom?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"He would've been more hands on."

"Wha-"

"He means that we would have actually seen Kid if he was the guy. He'd be doing the torturing personally since of letting some crook do it for 'im."

"Oh."

"Savage?"

"Maybe," the adults of the Rogues shared a look before shouting: "Cold!"

"Yes?" Said man appeared with arms crossed and a frowned on his lips, "What?"

"Remember that buff, wildish-looking bloke from years back?"

"You're going to have to be more specific," Cold stated without moving a muscle, "We've met a lot of those 'blokes' as you call 'em."

"The one that came to the bar three years ago," Boomerang continued with a raised brow, "Three jagged scars 'cross the face. Wanted to talk to you alone."

"Oh, yes, that one."

"Who was he?" Flash asked with a worried face.

"Some fool by the name of Savage," Cold waved his hand in the air, "He wanted to join us for one of our heists. I didn't like the looks of him, so I said no. He was furious but left. The end. Why?"

"We think he's the one," Mirror Master stated as he messed with one of his mirror contraptions, "He may have Kid."

"Oh, I see," the man looked at a depressed Trickster and interested Piper who both had their heads tilted, "Oh, yes. I remember. You two were grounded and Kid stayed home with you that night."

"Wait, you let a bunch of kids hang out in a ba-" Flash began to ask only to shake his head, "You know what? I don't want to know at this second...So what do we have on him?"

"Besides the scars, bad attitude, and stuff?" Heatwave joined the group with a shrug, "Not much."

"I've battled him once," Flash scratched the back of his head nervously with a laugh, "For whatever reason, the guy hates me. Didn't really get the reason why."

"All villains hate you except them," Green Arrow pointed to the group as he walked up, "No offense."

"None taken."

"Ah don't know...That's kinda offensive to m-"

"Shut it."

"Okay, sheesh," Boomerang messed with one of his weapons, "No need ta get ya knickers in a twist."

"Whatcha got there?" Trickster asked as he bounced up and down beside the blond, "Pipes, what's he got? Is it gonna help us find Baby Flash? I wanna find Baby Flash!"

The first green-clad person just smiled at the hyperactive teen while the second sighed in irritation.

"Yes, it will help us find him."

"YAY!" The teen bounced off to another room while pulling out another stick of candy and placing it into his mouth.

"This will help us find him, right?" Piper asked as he watched the sugar-high brother of his run around in circles, "I don't want to give Tricks false hope," he winced and covered his left ear, "But sometimes it's a better option if you want to still be able to hear afterward."

"Oh," the blond raised a brow before handing over the papers to the group, "Well, the papers will help. It's more info on Savage courtesy of Batman."

"We just figured out it's him," Heatwave started with a succumbed look, "How did he kn-"

"Don't even ask," the Scarlet Speedster interrupted with a raised hand, "Batman knows pretty much everything."

"Everything except who Kid Flash is," came the voice behind everyone who started in their seats (except Cold) and twirled to watch the man. Beside the bat-themed hero stood Robin who was showing absolutely no emotion on his face, "Robin?"

"What?"

"You know."

"Yeah, I do," he sighed as he laid his hand on the table beside the group from earlier, "You're not going to like it..."

"Oh, come on, mini-bat," Flash grinned as the boy scowled at the nickname, "It can't be that bad. At least he can't have a weird name like Bartholomew."

"Flash!" Green Arrow slammed his elbow into the speedster who rubbed the spot impacted.

"What?" He rubbed some more when he got a glare from the vigilante from across the room, "It's not like they probably don't know already know. They're my villains!"

"We didn't," Cold responded with a flat tone as he watched the speedster turn red enough to match his suit in his embarrassment, "But thanks anyway."

"Um..." Flash coughed awkwardly as he glanced at the guy then back to Robin, "You were saying?"

"KF is someone you know."

"Someone I know?" Flash stated slowly as he began to think before giving up, "Thanks for the help, but I'm not sure who you are talking about."

"How many redheads do you know?"

"Um..." his hand flew to his chin as he thought of the people including his wife, Mary, and- "Oh no."

"'Oh no' what?" Trickster asked as he came back to the group now without quite as much energy, "What? Why is everyone looking at Flasher like that?"

"It can't be," the red-clad man whispered as he squinted, "That man is going to pay!"

"Hello?" Heatwave waved his hand in the muttering speedster's face, "Flash?"

"What is he talking about?"

"Batman," Flash spoke up as he stood beside the mentioned hero in a blur, "You're not pulling me off of this case. I don't care that this is personal or if it goes against some type of code. I'm going to get him back."

"He's-" Batman's lenses widened just a tad as he too realized who Flash was talking about.

"Yes," the speedster nodded as he scowled not unlike the man beside him, "And now we have to figure out how to get him away from that monster."

"Um..." Green Arrow shared a confused glance with a few other team members who had come into the room, "Would you please fill the rest of us who don't know in on who you are talking about?"

"My nephew," a few gasps were heard along with a few even stares, "Kid Flash isn't only my partner...He's my nephew, Wally West. It's just...He supposedly died years ago! I couldn't find him...No one could."

"That would be our doing," Cold responded as Flash whipped his head around to glance at them, "We picked the kid up when he was thrown out of his home. Parents didn't deserve him. Never took him back, and knew he'd have to go back if you ever got a hold of him."

"So he became our brother!" An excited blond stated as he jumped around, "It was great!"

"Wait..." Flash smiled a little as he walked towards the villains, "You took him in?"

"We're not all as heartless as others try to say," Mirror Master spoke up as he pointed to the leader of the Rogues, "Even Cold over here has been helping."

"Great job," he complained with a smile on his face, "I've been raising the annoying kid, and you want to take the credit."

"We raised 'im too, mate."

"Anyway," Flash scratched the back of his head before snapping his fingers, "That's why you seemed like you guys were becoming nicer during our battles and stuff...I thought I was imagining it."

"They call you the fastest man alive for what reason?"

"He's got you on that one!" A few laughed at the incredulous look on his cowled face.

"Calm down," Batman stated from the front of the room as the rest of the heroes walked in, "I have the location of the warehouse. We will use these strategies to get into the building and rescue Kid Flash. Got it?"

Everyone nodded as the battle plans began. Heroes raced around to transportation or used their powers to fly. Mirror Master pulled the Rogues with him into the mirror dimension as they all got ready to go to the location found as Robin quickly grabbed the golden helmet.

When they arrived at the place, it looked like your standard warehouse. It was a building that looked a bit run down as some of the windows were broken, and random scraps of junk laid around the exterior. The Team parked the Bio-ship off where it wouldn't be found as they hid nearby. The Justice League members waited on all sides as Mirror Master searched every reflective surface in the place. Taking minutes to find, he finally found a broken segment of glass that would be big enough to see everything around.

Walking out of the place to another mirror nearby, he told what he saw to the groups waiting.

"Place looks trashed," he concluded with a low voice, "Wasn't a mirror or reflective surface in most of the place. Must have been prepared for us."

"It would seem so," Batman concluded as he motioned for the others to come in, "Move into the building."

Everyone moved to each side of the building as they all confirmed they were there. Moving just like in the plan, they soon entered the room that Wally had been in. What they saw surprised them.

On the floor was an unconscious Savage who was laying on his face like he'd been hit from behind. The henchman from before was lying in a pool of his own blood, and when they checked, he was dead. The chair in front of them had some blood on it, but not too much. The restraints were cut evenly as if whoever did it had plenty of time to get in and out.

"No," Flash spoke quickly as he paced around, careful of not stepping in the red liquid, "No, no, no, no. Where is he?"

"We'll find Kid Flash," Aqualad spoke as he glanced at the awful sight, "He is our teammate, and we won't stop until we find him."

"Aqualad's right," Artemis frowned as she stared at the scene, "We're getting him back, and when we do, he'll need us. All of us."

Flash smiled weakly before they all heard a groan coming from the doorway. Flash zipped his way over to the man who was just now waking up and grabbed him by his shirt.

"Where is Kid Flash?"

"I'm not telling you," he chuckled as the others watched the two, "What are you going to do? Tickle me to death? I can't die."

"I wouldn't worry about being tickled if I were you," he stated darkly as he growled, "I'm sure they would do more than that to you."

He moved to the side so Savage could see the angry group of heroes.

"You wouldn't," he laughed as the expression on Flash's face changed to a more neutral one as he stood in front of the man with crossed arms, "You're the good guys. You don't beat up innocent people."

"You're hardly innocent," Flash smirked as he moved back as the Rogues stepped up, "And they aren't the good guys."

"Where is Kid?" Cold asked coldly as he held his freeze ray to the man's fingers as Heatwave held his own gun to the man's other hand, "If you don't answer, you won't have to worry about having any fingers left to do anything with."

The man seemed to glance from the heroes to Flash to the Rogues surrounding him and back to the red-clad hero.

"A group of scientists came in and stole the brat out from under me," he answered back as he felt cold energy cover his hand as the weapon began to charge, "Stated something about how they were doing experiments."

He grinned as the looks of anger crossed all their faces before he cringed as ice bit into his skin along with a gross smelling object that was dropped on his face.

"Oops," Cold answered as he stood up and strolled away along with Trickster who was grinning. Savage didn't get the chance to even move, much less say anything as Superman landed a strong punch to the man's face. He was once again out for the count as the Man of Steel grabbed him up.

"Take him to the Watchtower," Batman stated quietly with authority as he walked outside. The rest followed as Superman flew away from the scene.

"I don't like the sound of this," Flash stated as he walked alongside the black-clad man who nodded.

"Me neither," he agreed as he searched for any clues as to who had the redhead now, "We'll find him."

"Thanks," he stated as the man walked away from the site and to his jet as the Flash zoomed away, "Where are you now, Kid?"
