Rescue of Red Hood
Group chat - hidden
Robin: Shadow, Hood has been captured,
Robin: The Bats are 20 mins out, you are 2 mins from the location (GPS xxxx. xxxx) can you go and scare them so they are too busy to attack Hood?
Shadow: Sure, sounds like fun, heading there now.
Robin: Fun? Shadow, have you taken something?
Shadow: No… well yes. Class mates wanted to celebrate an engagement, and went to a pub, and since alcohol doesn't do anything at all to me, I may have taken a power up pill version 5, a hour one.
Robin: I thought those were destroyed because they make you very intoxicated.
Shadow: May have rescued some from getting destroyed, and hidden them.
Shadow: Oh, I am high as a kite. I feel so good right now. Everything is so sloooow at the moment. Oh look, pretty lights.
Robin: Forget about the rescue, go home right now.
Shadow: I am finnnne... everything is finnnne... No worries. Am at the location now. I like Hood, will be just in and out quick.
Shadow: Right, let's bluff that I am a very scary vampire lady.
Shadow: Putting you on silent.
Robin: You will be receiving a lecture from me tomorrow. (Unread)

Jason, still in his Red Hood mask, woke up with a headache, and found he had been chained to a chair in a warehouse. Felt annoyed he got captured so easily.
There were a number of strange gang members around. He did not recognise anyone nor the gang patches. There was one good thing, he could and did push his panic button.
Anyway chains? Man, that's a little overkill, did they think he had super strength or something?
“Good, you are awake,” a harsh male voice interrupted him checking his surroundings. Jason looked over at the speaker, obviously the gang leader. No one he knew. New gang or filling a capture contact?
“I thought capturing the Red Hood would be hard, but no …”
Oh great, a villain monologuing. The perfect thing to make headaches worse. When is the rescue happening? Jason wondered how long before he will asked to be shot, so he doesn't need to listen anymore.
Everything and everyone went silent.
Red Hood looked over, a pale skin female was standing in the middle of the warehouse. Her black long hair was flowing everywhere. She was dressed in a black tank top, and black jeans and was wearing a face domino mask.
She had fangs, oh shit, that is a Vampire.
“You kidnapped Red Hood? Protector of Crime Alley? Without permission! How dare you!” She snarled, focusing on the gang leader as her fangs grew larger and she looked like she was about to go feral.
Red Hood couldn't look away, although he could hear the rest of the gang leaving the warehouse as fast as possible.
“Ah?” said the gang leader backing up, “shoot her!”
A couple of guns went off as she jumped at the gang leader, Jason was sure he saw her dodge the bullets, and also push the leader out of the way. The leader hit his head on the wall and dropped to the ground unconscious.
She spun around to face the last two gang members who had their guns out and were shaking with fear.
“Run, run, little rabbits, I will enjoy chasing you down.” She purred.
The two men ran out of the building, screaming in fear.
The girl laughed, “he was correct, that was fun.” She turned to face Red Hood, who stiffened with fear, but tried to hide it. “Relax, a friend sent me here to help, was just closer than the bats. I am a friend. Not an enemy."
She moved around to the back of the chair. Red Hood heard a clink noise and the chains fell off. Then silence, he looked around, there was no one but him and one unconscious gang leader in the warehouse.
“Thank you.” He called out standing up.
Batman, Nightwing and Red Robin appeared moments later.
“Red Hood report.” rasped out Batman.
“Got taken out when returning from patrol, woke up here, chained to that chair, with that gang leader monologuing at me. A female vampire turned up, not feral, she knocked out the gang leader, didn't bite him. Everyone else ran away. She broke the chains and left.”
“That makes no sense, vampires are not safe.” muttered Batman shaking his head.
“Well I owe that one my life.” Red Hood looked around, “Is Robin around?”
“He is checking the perimeter, by his own suggestion.”
“Oh,” said Red Hood quietly, “I wonder if he knows something?”

Bat AI (really one of Oracle hackers that she is teaching and watching)
Video recording found, Flagged as Vampire sighting meeting with Robin due to recording from inside the warehouse.
Protocol Justice League vampire protection: deleted from Bat computer, forward to Oracle supervisor to be checked and filed in correct place, probably to be filed in Justice League folder only.
Recording started:
Robin had just finished checking the outside warehouse for any guards. Stopped near a dark corner on the ground. A second person came out of the shadows in black pants and grey hoodie with the hood up. Robin and the person looked at each other, may have spoken to each other, but no audio file was found.
The person moved back into the shadows and vanished, Robin went to meet the rest of the bats who were exiting the building.
End recording 2 mins length.
