It took 24 hours for news to reach everybody.

The news had spread to them all.

The air was tense, tight and suffocating.

Bruce stood near Kojirou who had flown from Japan the minute he found out.

It was hard for Bruce to figure out how Kojirou was feeling, he was expecting him to go on a blinded rampage as they stood in front of the mansion that it took place.

But no, Kojirou held a blank look, nudging over the bodies of the Bears followers with his foot as he walked around.

"Pure hybrids, big ones." He said, flashing a light towards the large piles of disintegrated bodies.

"5 of them?" Bruce questioned, crouching slightly as he looked at the blood that stained the ground.

"I, found Juri's bracelet." Tadashi said, walking towards them, the bloodied brown and white beaded bracelet, laying in a white cloth he held.

"Where?" Kojirou asked.

"Upstairs, a knife near it, another pool of blood just further away. Bodies were around it so I'm assuming she had to resort to killing them." He explained, showing photo's of the area.

"That place is probably the last place she was, there's a large hole in the wall so somebody must've kidnapped her from there." He said.

"Oh shit, you guys are here already?" They turned and saw Tobi sliding down the railing and landing with a little breath as he regained his balance.

Ray followed along, walking down the stairs, stepping over bodies, as he had a hand leaned against the hilt of his nodachi that was tied to his waist.

"Anything out there?" Bruce asked.

"Nothing, it's quiet really, a bit too quiet." Tobi said.

"And there's no evidence to show where they had taken her, or Dami, he's gone too." Ray added with a sigh.

"Dami was with her then, right?" Tobi asked.

"He always is, but I'm not sure if they killed him or he was taken."

Kojirou stared down at the bracelet on the white cloth. He turned his head towards the entrance as he heard something coming.

Bruce looked at him in question, then he too turned his head towards the entrance as he heard the noise of a motorcycle.

He was surprised as to how Kojirou managed to hear it when it was further away.

The motorcycle skidded to a stop and Dick had frantically gotten off it. He made his way forward and his eyes widened at the sight of the red on the ground, rubble on the ground.

"Oh?" Kojirou mumbled watching as he had a horrified look on his face.

"Ricky? You're here to?" Tobi grinned, slapping his shoulder with a little giggle.

"They, really took her?" He asked.

"...yeah. She'll be fine, she's a stubborn bitch anyway." He shrugged, slinging his arm over his shoulder as he ruffled Dick's hair.

Dick breathed out a curse in utter guilt, bringing his hand down his face.

"What's up?" Tobi asked, a small frown settling on his face.

"...I broke up with Juri." He admitted.

They all stared at him.

"Oh dios mios." Ray audibly let out a choked cry, slowly lowering himself against the staircase.
