Cindy's POV

"Help!" I screamed at Mount Justice. I screamed again. It was almost four in the morning, but I didn't think that the sidekicks were asleep. I could feel the blood running down the side of my head and could feel the broken ribs inside my chest. I looked behind me and heard the familiar laughter of my father. I screamed. Suddenly the doors opened and all the sidekicks ran out.

"Attack!" Nightwing shouted. I panicked and held up my hands.

"Wait! No, I don't want to fight! Help me!" I screamed looking behind me at Joker.

"Darling! Why are you running!" He giggled and looked at me, "get back here!" You could hear the anger in his voice. I sobbed.

"Help me!" All the sidekicks seemed confused.

"Don't worry little super brats. Were just having father to daughter moments!" Joker said waving his hand, "now Hearts is you could just come back here." I shook my head and had tears running down my face.

"NO!" I screamed as I threw a playing card at my father. It exploded and all hell broke loose. All his goons started towards me, "get away from me!" I started to fight them off, but there was too many. Suddenly, I felt a clown ripped off of me and looked behind me to see Nightwing fighting off the clowns. The sidekicks followed lead and started to fight and I joined in again. When Joker could tell that he was going to lose he backed off.

"Another day, darling." He said as he turned and drove back down the beach in his red clown car. The clowns followed and I felt a relief wash over me. I turned to find the sidekicks looking at me.

"Thank you." I whispered to Nightwing just as I felt my body collapsing with exhaustion.

Nightwing's POV

I watched the girl, known to us as Hearts, in the hospital bed with curiosity.

Why was she running from her father? And why was she so broken?

"Dick." I turned to see Wally walking towards me.

That's a first. I thought chuckling, "yes?"

"Has she woken up?" He asked coming to stand before the bed like me.

"No. The only signs of her beginning to wake up were her fingers twitching." I told Wally. He nodded.

"You should get some rest." Wally said turning towards me to look at me, "you've been here for days."

"I know, but for some reason I feel that I can't leave her." I looked down at the woman sleeping in the bed. She had short blonde hair that still had some blood stains in it. She had a small heart shaped face with small pink lips. Behind her eyelids I remember the green eyes. I heard a moan come from the girl and watched as she slowly woke up. When her eyes opened they were first dilated, but as she became more focused she sat up quickly and began to scream. She thrashed around.

"Wally! Hold her down! She's going to open her wound!" I said as I grabbed her arms. Wally grabbed her legs, but she was stronger and kicked him off.

"What the hell! She's strong!" Wally screamed over her voice as he went to hold down her legs again.

"It's okay Hearts! You're safe!" I screamed into her ear. She paused. Slowly she came down from her hysteria and looked at us.

"I…am?" She asked looking at me. I nodded. She sighed and her head fell onto my shoulder, "thank you." She whispered. She slowly and with difficulty picked up her head.

"Are you okay." I asked looking at her. She nodded, but her face contorted into one of discomfort.

"Ummm…I have to pee." She said quietly. It took Wally and I a moment to realized what she was saying when we both let go of her.

"Oh…ummm…the bathrooms right through there." I said pointing towards the door. The girl quickly stood up and wobbled to the bathroom. After she was in, Wally and I looked at each other, and began to laugh.

"Don't laugh!" Hearts yelled through the door. We stopped.

Cindy's POV

I slowly walked out of the bathroom after being in there for ten minutes. I found Nightwing and Kid Flash standing next to my bed. I blushed.

"Are you done?" Nightwing asked. I blushed more and nodded, "we have some clothes for you." He said pulling a bag from out from under the bed. He handed it to me and I looked into the bag. There were many clothes and I smiled.

"May I take a shower?" I asked looking up at the men. Nightwing nodded.

"We'll be out here if you need anything ." Nightwing told me while he took a seat on the bed. Without saying a word, I turned, and walked back into the bathroom. Turning on the water I stepped into the semi warm water. I tooka a quick shower being sure to avoid scratching my wound. After I was done, I dried my self off, and put on a white bra and panties. Then I choose a white summer dress with green vines on it to wear. Walking out of the bathroom, I found Kid Flash and Nightwing talking. Their heads tunred towards me when they heard the bathroom open wide, I smiled.

"Thanks for the clothes." I said quietly as I held out the bag with the rest of the clothes. Nightwing took the bag and smiled at me.

"You're welcome, Hearts." I flinched at the name, "if you would come with me we have to see the Justice League." I nodded hesitantly. I followed them out of the room and through Mount Justice. Soon, we arrived at double metal doors and stepped in. The room was dark, but there was enough light to see the whole Justice League and the sidekicks sitting around the room. They sat high up in the room on things that looked like bleachers. In front of me was the Justice League while on the left and right sat the sidekicks. I noticed a chair in the middle of the room. Without asking, I moved towards the chair, and sat on it.

"Hearts. We would like to know why you came to Mount Justice for help." Superman said looking at me. I shifted uneasily in my chair.

"Well…I needed help." I told him.

"Yes, but why." I sighed.

"My father, Joker, asked me to kill one of your own." I said looking up around the room

"Who and why?" Batman asked looking down at me. I shifted again. This was going to be awkward.

"Nightwing…" There was a hush silence. I looked towards Nightwing to find him staring at me. I avoided his eyes and started to play with my fingers, ripping off the skin around the nails.

"Why?" Batman asked anger evident in his voice.

"Joker wanted me to prove myself to him by killing one of "the bats children." I said slowly and putting quotes with my fingers around the quoted words.

"Did you know that if you didn't kill him you would pay the price?" Wonder Woman asked speaking up for the first time. I nodded, "then if you knew the consequences why did you not go forward with what your father told you to do?" I did not answer.

"Answer her!" Batman shouted standing up. I flinched. I knew he would be anger. I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. I choked. I could feel tears coming to my eyes, "you!" He jumped down from his spot and was about to attack me when my voice came to my throat. '

"I love him!" I shouted while I held up my hands to block the punch coming towards my face. I never felt the punch and slowly put down my hands to look at the man in front of me. Batman had his fist an inch away from my face. Slowly, he retracted his fist away from my face. I could see other Justice League members paused in motion like they were ready to fight. There was a silence.

"You…what?" Batman asked looking down at me.

He's tall. I thought. I looked down at my fingers, they were bleeding. I watched as the blood dripped onto the floor.

"I love him." I quietly whispered into the silent room.
