Erin and Wally sped around the base. Both were having no luck in finding Becca and headed back to the living room. They smashed into each other, falling to the floor.
“Hey! Watch where you're going!” Erin exclaimed.
“Me?! What about you!”
“My base, my rules!”
“Are wewe okay?” Willow asked Wally.
Erin huffed and, in one kick to the legs, brought Willow down on juu of Wally.
“Erin!”
“You didn't ask if I was okay! Just your stupid boyfriend!”
“Wally isn't stupid!”
“He is and wewe know it!”
“Enough!” Talia shouted. “You three are uigizaji like children! Now straighten up!”
Talia's tone was harsh and forceful. All three hushed and just glared at each other.
“Better. Now, since wewe obviously didn't find her, did wewe guys find any clues?”
“I did!”
Erin pulled a slip of paper from her pocket, handing it to Talia.
“Where'd wewe find this?” she asked.
“In her room.”
Talia dropped the paper as if it was on fire.
“What?”
“I'm not picking it up! Erin went into her room! Becca is going to kill you!”
Artemis rolled her eyes and picked up the paper everyone was avoiding. She scanned it carefully.
“Resignation?”
The others crowded around her but Artemis walked away, ignoring their pestering questions. She read the paper, juu to bottom, before looking at the others.
“Becca resigned from the team. She left Willow in charge but she's gone.”
“What?! How did this happen?”
“Willow, calm down,” Devin instructed. “We must think logically.”
“You're right Dev. I-I just need to breathe, relax. And think.”
Devin went up to Willow, fiddling with her bag. She pulled out some of her magic, blowing it on Willow. Immediately, Willow seemed to relax.
“Wow! How'd wewe do that?” Wally asked.
“It's just dust from an angel's wing. It calms the soul and helps wewe think clearer.”
“Sweet! Can I have some?”
Devin blew some on Wally and some on Robin before stashing the rest of it away.
“I'll get something for people to drink. Erin, would wewe like to help me?”
“No.”
Devin gave the speedstress a look and Erin groaned. She got up, following Devin into the kitchen.
“This is serious. What are we going to do?” Sylver asked.
“We need to find out where she could have gone,” Talia instructed.
“Gotham.”
All heads turned to Val, who sat on the couch.
“What?”
“Becca is in Gotham. au at least she will be.”
“How do wewe know?” Willow asked.
“Becca's soul is lost. I sense it heading out of Happy Harbor, closer to Gotham. But she will not be Lost for long. And then I will have no clue where she went.”
“We need to get to her,” Megan responded.
“We would be too late. She has become determined. We will not change her mind. But we should look for her before-”
“What happened Val?”
“I'm sorry Willow. I Lost her. She has found her way. I can not find her.”
“It's okay Val. At least we know where she went. Now we need to figure out why.”
“Hey! Watch where you're going!” Erin exclaimed.
“Me?! What about you!”
“My base, my rules!”
“Are wewe okay?” Willow asked Wally.
Erin huffed and, in one kick to the legs, brought Willow down on juu of Wally.
