So i started to continue Aoife's story! realy i wanted to skip to when she's a teen but there's all this stuff that happens prior to her becoming a viglante! So i started to writing this :D

To be technical i started writing this awhile ago but they were just random chapters to a story i didnt have so now i'm constructing one! This is a sequel to Sweet Dreams! :D This will contain MANY characters from the DC Universe that i feel should be shown more.

The setting is also... after when all the series ended and before the reboot. this is written like the reboot never happened and everyone went on with their happy lives.

Please enjoy and tell me what you think! :D

P.S. Sorry if the first chapter is a bit slow

Chpt.1

Deifiúr Sister

"S-stop!" exclaimed Aoife as she tried to scramble away. Tears were in the corner of eyes, as she continued to struggle against the woman who had her pinned to the ground.

"Never!" the woman exclaimed.

"P-Please!" Aoife shouted.

"It sounds like you're killing her." Barbra informed as she wheeled into her living room, where Stephanie Brown was tickling Aoife.

"Because I'm gonna tickle her to death." Steph smirked as she continued to tickle Aoife, making the girl laugh harder.

"Steph!" she exclaimed, and the current Batgirl finally stopped tickling her.

They were in one of Oracle's hideouts. Steph had just came back from a mission and Aoife was sleeping, practicing her abilities, while waiting for Steph to get back.

"Stephanie, can you take Aoife home? I'm going to be late." Barbra informed and Steph nodded.

"Sure thing, O. C'mon Tink. Time to hit the road." Steph smiled as she grasped onto Aoife's hand and walked out to her car.

Tink was Stephanie's personal nick name for Aoife due to the two watching Disney movies together, and Aoife being obsessed with Tinker Bell's character. Plus, Steph teased Aoife that she and Tinker Bell were the same small size.

Aoife had been living with Barbra for about three months, and she was loving every moment. Stephanie was almost like her adopted sister, and she was friends with many members of the Birds of Prey. She was going to a public school in Gotham. William F. Elementary school.

Unfortunately, there she didn't have many friends. Well, that wasn't entirely true. The teachers liked her, and if kids needed an extra for kick ball, they'd ask Aoife, and she'd play, but she was very anti-social. She would often sit alone on one of the benches in the recess yard, and read.

Steph pulled the car up to Barbra's house. A nice place in the better side of Gotham.

"Better rest up. O would kill me if I let you stay up on a school night like we did that one time." Steph informed as she walked up the flight of steps with Aoife, heading to the little girl's room.

Steph opened the door, and Aoife headed to her closet to put on her pajamas.

The room was painted green and blue. Her bed spread matched the colors. There was a small desk with a hardly used laptop on it, and a shelf with tons of books.

On top of Aoife's bed were several Teddy bears that Aoife would play with. Each named after an Author of a book.

Aoife snuggled into her bed, holding her favorite teddy bear (Salinger) and Steph gave her a hug.

"Night, Aoife. I'm going to head home. My mom's probably worried." Steph informed, as she started to slip out of the room.

"Night, Steph." Aoife smiled, and then slipped off into her dreams.

"Time's a ticking. Time's a ticking. Tick tock tick tock." Aoife was surprised when instead of appearing in front of her Maimeó to practice her abilities more. No, something was wrong. And her dreams were alerting her to it.

Aoife looked to see a man sitting in front of a computer. She could only see his back, but the screen had Oracle's green symbol on it.

"Time's a ticking. Time's a ticking. Tick tock tick tock." The man sounded crazed, his voice sounded as if it hurt to talk.

Aoife was unsure what to do. She knew that it was impossible for him to see, feel, or hear her, but why did her dreams show her this? What was the importance.

"Tap tap tap. Click click click. Tick tock tick tock." He chuckled. Then reached for a phone and dialed a number. "I am in need of your services." He informed. "Yes I will pay you dearly." There was a pause and Aoife couldn't hear what was being said. "I will give you further information via computer, Mr. Wilson." He then hung up the phone and continued to sing,

"Time's a ticking. Time's a ticking. Tick tock tick tock."

Aoife felt herself get pushed out of her dream and she woke up. In her face was another person's face. One that she never saw before.

Aoife let out a surprised scream and then swiftly went to punch the person in front of her. However, the person caught Aoife's hand with eerily effortless and smooth speed, and had a strong grasp.

"W-who are you!" Aoife exclaimed. Now that she had slightly settled down, she noticed that there was an Asian woman about Steph's age with short black hair and all-knowing brown eyes.

"Calm yourself." She said gently. "I did not mean to startle you." The woman gently released her grasp on Aoife's hand. "I am Cassandra Cain. I am looking for Barbra Gordon." She informed, and Aoife's eyes widened. She had never seen Cassandra in her dreams, but she had heard of her.

"I'm sorry I screamed." Aoife informed apologetically. "I don't know when Barbra is getting back. She said that she was coming home late." She added.

Cassandra nodded, but then looked at Aoife curiously.

"Who are you?" she inquired.

"I-I'm Aoife." The small girl answered. "Barbra kinda adopted me. It's a long story." Cassandra nodded. "So, what did you wanna ask Barbra?" Aoife questioned.

Cassandra's face seemed to sadden a bit. Her eyes looked away at an unimportant spot on the wall.

"I missed my home." She whispered. "I was going to ask if I could… live her." Cassandra informed in a small voice. "If she will allow me."

Aoife hung around Dick enough to know when it was a good time to hug someone. Aoife wrapped her arms around the woman, squeezing.

"I'm sure Barbra will let you stay here. Why would she kick you out? Don't look so sad." Aoife said with a smile. Just then there was a knock at her door.

"Aoife, I can hear you talking. Steph better not be-" Barbra trailed off as she saw Aoife hugging Cassandra when she opened the door.

"Hello Barbra." Cass said with a small smile on her face.
