Bruce found himself at a lost for the first time in his career as Batman. He had a plan for everything. Every single possibility was something he had considered. He never planned for this. Booster was called in to the batcave to help with this issue but they had gotten no where. Terry even came down a few times to offer his assistance when he could. With Beyond missing, he had to step up and take over Y/N's patrols.

Bruce: Run me through the problem again.

Booster: Again? Bruce, we've been through this at least 1000...

Bruce: Run me through Booster.

Booster hesitated for a moment. He knew better than to question the Batman.

Booster: His timeline was erased. Because he only existed in that timeline, his existence was erased. He isn't bound by time anymore.

Bruce: And what does that entail?

Booster: It like a straight line. Suddenly, there is a second line so you erase the first line. They're exactly the same except for one minor difference. Y/N was that difference. He stayed while everything else was replaced.

Bruce: And this event didn't do anything to Debra because she existed in both timelines.

Booster: Right. I also stayed because, like Y/N, I'm not bound to one time. I guess you could say that Flash is the same.

Bruce returned his attention to the computer. Tracking Y/N seemed near impossible due to this issue. He was frustrated. Extremely frustrated. Suddenly he heard frantic footsteps in the cave. He turned and spotted Stephanie and Debra.

Debra: Bruce!

Bruce stood up. He had never seen them so worked up before.

Bruce: What's wrong?

Stephanie: It's Cassie. She said that she saw Y/N!

Bruce's eyes grew wide. They slowly narrowed as he began to plan.

Batman: Where?

Red woke up with a start. His entire body felt heavy while his head stung in pain. He couldn't sit up to gather himself since he was being held down by two pairs of arms. To his left was Terra while Jinx was to his right. Oh yeah. This was a thing.

He shuffled around a bit before he was able to free himself without waking the others. He carefully climbed out of bed and pulled on a pair of jeans from the floor. Kid ended up not coming back to base last night which lead to them thinking of the worse case scenario.

Red ended up in the living room where Croc and Dex were. Croc didn't look too happy as he stared at the laptop they had stole about a week ago. He looked up when he heard Red enter.

Croc: They got the kid.

Red stopped in his tracks and shook his head. Damn it. Croc slid the laptop across the table for Red to see. Looks like while half the Titans were dealing with King, the rest had managed to take down Jack and Kid. If there was any highlight in all this, it was that they had gotten rid of two of the Royal Flush Gang. Three more to go.

Red: Shit. You know where they're taking him? Maybe we can plan some kind of breakout?

Croc shook his head.

Croc: Belle Reves. Trust me kid, not somewhere you want to go.

Red sighed as he slid the laptop back to Croc. He ploped down onto the couch earning an angry meow from Dex who was sleeping. Red began to pet him which calmed him down. Jinx wasn't going to be happy. He mentally beat himself up. They should've stayed together.
