Three backpacks, two purses, Nathan's quiver and bow case, and a cooler. That's how much stuff was packed. Three days worth of food, clothes for two days, one important possession (in case they didn't make it back), bathroom necessities, $1500 in cash (Nathan didn't admit whether or not he broke into their parents safe), phones/iPods/PSP's/Kindles and chargers for entertainment, and finally, the picture as proof to Rachel. M.J. also brought the rest of the pictures to see if they could find this Lance or Leo the note talked about.

Willow really didn't like the amount of stuff they were bringing, but there was no choice. Fortunately, she could pass for 16, and her mother's car was still in the drive. Nathan was able to create a fake license in no time. They were able to leave in an hour.

The man was still sitting on the bench, staring at the door. There was a back door, but they wouldn't be able to get the cooler out. It was decided Nathan would slowly sneak stuff to the car, then when it came to the cooler and his bow, he would create a distraction while the girls ran it out to the car.

They had successfully gotten everything out (except the cooler and bow, of course) when the guy started to get suspicious. He stood, and started toward the car.

"Nathan, you got that distraction ready?" M.J. asked nervously.

Nathan heard the amazing, wonderful, life-saving, sound in the world just then, his planned distraction. "Yes."

He walked outside to the sidewalk. The man started toward him, reaching into his pocket to pull out a knife. Nathan stood his ground. "Just a little bit more.." he murmured, listening to the sound coming closer.

"ICE CREAM TRUCK!" he yelled when it got close. Kids poured out of house at his call, clutching $5's and $1's. The street soon filled, the man getting lost in the crowd. "Perfect." he murmured. He ran to the car, Willow already in driver's seat with M.J. sprawled all over the back seat. He jumped into the driver's seat.

"Let's go!" M.J. called.

Willow never dropped below 60, somehow avoiding all cops. She looked out the window as they passed the city limits. "Goodbye Keystone."

When they stopped for a break, they separated the prisoners into tents, girls and boys.

Zatanna absentmindedly played with her hair. "Artemis, can I ask you a question?"

"Shoot." Artemis replied, lying back on the potato sack she was given as a pillow.

"How would you, um, approach an awkward conversation with Wally?" she asked, still playing with her hair.

"Well, I'd get him in private, when nothing's on his mind, when he's totally relaxed. Zee, what's going on?" Artemis said, sitting up.

"Well..."

"Zee. What is going on?"

"Promise you won't tell?"

That depends." Artemis said, crossing her arms.

"I'm kinda, um, pregnant."

"What!? That's great!" Artemis said, giving her a hug.

"Except for the fact that we're captured..." Zatanna pointed out.

"Oh yeah..." Artemis said, leaning back again.

"So dude, howya been?" Wally asked. He had claimed most the space in the tent, making Dick stuck with pretty much a 2' by 2' square.

"Ah, it's been great. I miss Bludhaven, but I liked moving back to Gotham. Great job at Wayne Tech, Bruce has got me as a sort of, should I say, 'ambassador' to other companies and industries. The only thing is not getting to spend as much time with Zee and Leo as I'd like. He grows up too fast, I kinda wish I had another one around."

"The more Graysons the merrier!" Wally joked. "How is Leo by the way?"

"He has been great recently, actually. Top of his class, top basketball player, president of his class."

Wally laughed, "Sounds like a male version of M.J.! Gosh, I miss seeing you guys! What's it been, six years?"

"Yeah, I miss seeing Nathan and Leo being bros! But, you know why we erased their memories. They all can't hang out."

"Yeah, it'd be great if they could though..."

Kaldur sighed. They had sent search parties out, but still, no sign of any children. The had discovered, however, the West house completely destroyed and empty. Npt good.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, everything was falling apart.

He went to his room to change before dinner with Raquel, M'Gann, and Conner. Raquel was on the bed, flipping through a magazine. "How'd it go?" she asked, not looking up.

"Still nothing on Lance, Leo, or Rachel. And, the found the West house destroyed and empty. From what they could tell, the last human activity in there was about 4-6 hours ago." He sat on the edge of the bed. "Everything's looking bleak right now."

Raquel crawled across the bed and sat down next to him. "You need to relax." she said, rubbing his shoulders. "You've trained Lance, he knows what to do. He's going to be okay. Let's just get ready for dinner."

They stopped at a gas station a while out, just within the Kansas state border. Nathan was asleep in the passengers, Willow was getting the gas, and M.J. went to use the restroom and get some drinks. As far as Willow could tell, they were about an hour or two from Smallville.

Willow and M.J. were paying for gas when they heard Nathan screaming from the car. Willow threw the money down and ran, M.J. following after.

Luckily, it wasn't anyone trying to steal the car. In fact, it was a great face to see.

"I can't believe you guys didn't invite me on this road trip." Lian said from the driver's seat. "I call driving!"
Ta Da! Yep, I just put Lian in there for you guys! I will be mentioning many more canon characters, such as Robin's and heroes from season two, but not necessarily with same Season Two storylines.

Question Time! Would you guys like it if I did a Chalant-Based pregnancy story, I don't think many of those are out there

So yeah, Read and Review!
