It had been four years since Batman first heard the problems his children had with the various members of the Justice League. Much had changed since then.

Jason had left the household at eighteen to try to find himself, only dropping in every few months to visit his family; whom he still was very close to. Now he was twenty and still continued the nomadic way of life. Roy, now nineteen, had decided to move to Star City to go to college, knowing that he wouldn't have to worry much there because he had Ollie nearby.

The second oldest, Kaldur and Raquel; both seventeen; had both continued going to high school and continued getting all A's. Kaldur was now fully in dance classes along with Artemis and Zatanna, and he was even getting scholarships to the dancing school. Raquel, on the other hand, was on the school's basketball team and had found wrestling to be her second favorite sport.

Then came Wally, Artemis, M'gann, and Conner, aged sixteen. Both M'gann and Conner continued being role models for their siblings, but they now lived in Metropolis instead of Gotham. After much deliberation, Batman decided that ten sidekicks was way too much to have around him and some had to move. The obvious candidates were M'gann and Conner, seeing how they had ties with Metropolis, and Roy and Artemis.

But, Artemis still lived in Gotham and patrolled as Diana. She was also in the school's basketball team with Raquel, but she didn't have all A's. She was more of a B average, but as long as she passed the grades... Wally, unlike the rest of his sixteen year old siblings, still stirred up trouble and was just problematic wherever he went. If anything, he was worse than four years ago.

And, Zatanna and Dick were both thirteen and enigmatic. Zatanna now used her magical abilities to put on shows for the whole school in their talent shows and had an average of A-minus, and she never went out to the field anymore. She was Oracle and helped from the backstage, deciding the action wasn't where she belonged after she almost died a year ago.

But, Dick loved fighting crime. He, along with Wally, was the kid who went out and fought the most, but he still managed to keep an average of A-plus and was even in the honor roll. This, of course, bred problems for Wally; who's grades were dragging through the C's; and sometimes pitted the brothers against one another.

But that wasn't the only thing that had changed. Leonidas was now a fully established member of society; who's cover story was being Bruce Wayne's long-long-long lost cousin; and he even worked full time in the very school were the kids went. He was the head coach.

Bruce continued working at Wayne tech, and he with Oliver Queen had one of the best companies to ever sweep into the weapons making industry. The deal to merge Queen Industries with Wayne Tech finally went through and they really were a force to be reckoned with.

Yet, nothing everything was good for the idealistic family that was reuniting for Christmas. The 2012 elections were coming, and Lex Luthor was running for the office. This had Clark; who hadn't changed much in the four years except for adopting Conner as his own; throwing tantrums at the randomest moment until Bruce finally hit him with kryptonite and threatened to make a special necklace just for him if he didn't stop.

Now the whole family was together once more to celebrate the last Christmas before Kaldur and Raquel went off to college, which meant this was really a very special moment. Even the teens' other uncles, Hal and Billy; to an extent; had been invited.

At this moment, Wally and Roy were upstairs in Wally's room, arguing about what way Wally should go for his life. Raquel, Artemis, Zatanna, and M'gann were all in the kitchen with Alfred preparing the food, while the rest of the boys were in the living room playing video games.

Bruce, Clark, Ollie, Leonidas, Billy, and Hal were in the Batcave, investigating the most recent threat they had found.

"Stop trying to control my life!" Suddenly the warring red heads were downstairs, causing Jason to pause the video game as the rest of his brothers turned to watch the fight.

"Well stop trying to destroy it, Wally!" Roy growled back, which made Wally roll his eyes.

The sixteen year old wasn't planning on going to college after his senior year. He wanted to explore the world and have fun, but every single member of his family insisted on ruining his vision and making him go to the one place he didn't want to go.

"I'm not trying to destroy it! I've never wanted much in life, so I don't really need a college diploma!" Wally crossed as his arms, and through his peripheral vision he could see his other brothers shaking their heads. "Oh, shut up!"

Now it was Jason's turn to growl, but before he could say anything, Roy was back on Wally's case.

"Why don't you understand that you're throwing your life away with this choice?! These choices are the ones that breed villainy!"

Wally closed his eyes tightly as Roy continued to preach about the evils of no college, and he could tell that his brothers were now walking towards him, but the rage was slowly building up.

"Hey, what's going on?" Raquel asked as she walked into the main room, to find her brothers all around Wally, who had his hands on his ears and his eyes closed tight.

"SHUT UP!" Wally screamed as Roy continued to preach, and there was suddenly a wave of light that burst from him, knocking down everyone around him.

Wally breathed deeply as he glared at Roy, then slowly started to calm down as he looked around him. "Oh shit!" He yelled as he saw his siblings on the floor, then gasped as the Grandfather clock in the study opened up and the adults walked in.

Bruce only took one look at the kids on the floor and sighed. "We need to talk. All of us."

Okay, I'm sorry for deleting my other two sequels for 'The Different Ways to say 'Dad'', but it had to be done.

This is the direction I wanted to go in.
