Summary: Batgirl, Barbara Gordon, decided to take a break. She claims for college and education, but others think against it. She disappeared, she went so far as to cover her steps. Hacking in to computers and trying to get people not to find her. The question is why? What does it have to do with four little feet and pollen? What makes this pollen so dangerous, that it caused Batgirl to go into hiding?

Everybody stopped what they were doing and turned. "Batgirl!" M'gaan screamed and flew straight towards Batgirl and crushed her in a hug. "It's been so long!" M'gaan said as she let go of Batgirl. The other females on the team came up to Batgirl as well and greeted her and gave her hugs.

"It's been a while,"Artemis said as she hugged Batgirl.

"It really has been," Batgirl replied with a soft smile. The girls heard Batman clear his throat. That was when Batgirl noticed that almost all of the Young Justice team and Justice Leaguers were in the room. While the girls walked back toward the center of the room, a passing thought ran through Batgirl's head. Did the zeta-tubes always take that long to power down?

"Batgirl," Batman said with a nod.

"Batman," she replied.

"BG," Nightwing and Robin came up to her. "Long time no see," Nightwing said with a smirk. She gave them a small smile, but Nightwing saw something in her eyes that he could not place. It was strange.

She turned back to Batman, "I'm sorry I'm late. Thank you for gathering everybody."

"Wait, Batgirl, you called this meeting?" She nodded and went to stand next to Batman.

"I'm sure Batman must of informed you all about this gathering. A while ago, Batman contacted me about Poison Ivy."

"Ivy? Didn't she disappear after one of your last missions with us before you went on that break?" Robin asked catching himself from saying anything about her abandoning the team.

"That mission was five years ago wasn't it?" M'gaan asked.

"We didn't find anything, all we did was turn her into the police," Cassie said adding information.

"At the time we didn't. During the mission, we all split up into three different groups. Alpha went straight in, Beta went through the back, and the last squad stayed outside for back up," Batgirl started to explain.

"Yea, you were apart of Beta along with me and Robin," Nightwing said while thinking back.

"The only things we found in the back were more plants," Robin added.

"True, but while we were there I managed to get a sample of a plant. This sample also had the fertilizer as well as the pollen of the plant on it," Batgirl tried to keep explaining when Bart interrupted her.

"So? It's pollen, every plant has pollen and fertilizer."

"I agree with Bart, I don't see any need for this meeting," Superboy said while looking bored out of his mind.

"Batgirl," Batman said, "continue."

"You won't understand any of it if I don't give you a little background. Anyway, it's not just about the pollen, it's what the pollen can do." Everybody looked confused. Batgirl went up to the computer and pulled up pictures from the mission from so many years ago. She stopped at a picture Robin had taken of a bunch of the plants. "This isn't normal pollen."

"None of Ivy's pollens are normal," Nightwing said.

" After some research, I found out that when a human inhales this pollen, the pollen mixes into their blood stream. This sort of pollen increases one's hormones." Everybody seemed confused, but listened as she continued. "Including sexual." The younger of the members seemed embarrassed by this. Batgirl knew she was getting to the point a lot faster than she should have, but she knew she had to get home quick. "Thus making the pollen also increase the risk of females becoming pregnant."

"Okay? What's wrong with that?" Flash said.

Batgirl let out a sigh, "if this pollen gets let out into cities, it can cause major problems. Not only will it cause problems with relationships, but also in population." She let everybody think about that for a minute. "But that's not the worst part though." She zoomed into the plants more. "It's the actual child that would be born. After clouding the victims minds, the pollen is still in the bloodstream when 'certain things' happen. Meaning that the pollen gets mixed into the baby's bloodstream as well. Some how the pollen enhances factors in the baby's DNA. Not only does the baby obtain genes from the parents, but the genes, and emotions, become twice as strong, give or take a few errors." This seemed to catch everybody's attention. "For example, think of any type of sport. Say one parent is amazing at it, their child will be twice as amazing once he or she gets older. But what if both parents are amazing at the sport? The child would be an expert. Expected to be five times better at it then both parents, possibly even combined."

"Cool," Bart said actually looking excited about the child.

"In some cases sure, but in many others, no," Batgirl replied. As she kept talking, it seemed as if she was getting reluctant to talk.

"What do you mean?" Beast Boy asked.

"Well, say for example Joker and Harley Quinn. They have an on again, off again relationship. If they had a child..."

"Joker would never let that happen, he would most likely kill the child," Robin said trying to understand what Batgirl was saying.

"True, but if he knew about the enhancing in all different areas of the genes in the child, he may let it live. I'm only using him as an example, Rob. Okay, so, Joker is extremely crazy and so is Harley. Put the two together, and you will create a child who will be five times as crazy and would most likely kill anybody he sees. Plus the child would most likely kill his own parents." More people started to catch onto what Batgirl was saying. "Now, say this happens with two people in the league or the team, this will most likely ruin friendships. It will also create an extremely powerful child. With all the enhancing and things, the child will be harder to control and watch over. And without control, it would be easy to 'cross the line'."

"'Cross the line?'" Jamie asked.

"Meaning to kill someone," Robin informed Jamie.

"Okay, I get some of it now, but" Artemis stopped and looked at Batgirl, "why do you know all of this information?"

"What do you mean Artemis?" M'gaan asked.

"You obviously can't find all this information from researching. This information seems like it was given by someone. Unless, Batgirl..." Artemis let the name fall into a whisper, as everybody heard crackles of laughter from above. Batgirl's eyes widened as lots of the members got into a defensive position. This is not good. If they were to pop out the whole team will attack. She smiled, though, they do have interesting timing.

And that was almost exactly what happened. Everybody could not perfectly tell, but they thought they saw two figures run through the shadows. The team stared at the shadows, not taking in their surroundings. Batgirl noticed this. To save them she had to do something. She took out her gas pellets, quietly, and threw it towards the shadows. Nightwing noticed this movement and watched as Batgirl ran towards the two figures. The gas pellets exploded, sending confetti into the air as well as smoke gas. Nightwing's eyes widened.

"M'gaan!" Nightwing called out. With a motion of the hand, M'gaan mentally picked up the figures that were in the confetti and gas and pushed them up against the wall. "M'gaan, don't let them go no matter what."

The smoke cleared out, while people were coughing and trying to get a hold of their surroundings. The team looked and saw three figures up against the wall, including Batgirl and two children, one boy and one girl no older than five. Both were wearing domino eye masks and hoods to hide their hair and eyes. Batgirl blinked a few times and shook her head trying to get rid of the dizziness.

"Batgirl?" M'gaan asked.

"Keep her there M'gaan, we don't know what's going on," Nightwing said trying to be cautious.

Batgirl blinked a few times more. She looked down and realized she was not touching the floor and that she was being held up against the wall.

Her eyes widened. She looked to her right and saw nothing, then looked to her left. The children were being held up against the wall, but both seemed to be knocked out. M'gaan must of thought that the intruders were bigger and put more force into it. Batgirl stared at them and noticed that they were not moving. She kept herself straight and emotionless. She tried to see if they were still breathing, but it was hard for her to see from her position. This alarmed Batgirl. She then looked over at M'gaan. The team could see multiple emotions run through Batgirl's eyes. They did not know what to took a deep breath, "M'gaan, please, slowly put them on the ground." M'gaan stared into Batgirl's eyes, she could feel so many emotions coming off of Batgirl. "Please, M'gaan." M'gaan nodded and did as she was told.

The children were put gently on the ground. Black Canary walked up to the children with Green Arrow following her. She picked up the girl and checked to make sure she was alright. Green Arrow did the same with the boy. Black Canary and Green Arrow looked at each. "They're alright, it seems as if they only passed out in shock," Canary said while looking at the little girl in her arms. Batgirl let out a breath that she did not know she was holding.

"Yea, from the looks of it though, it seemed as if they were trained to take a hit from a wall. They moved their heads in a way that would make sure they would not get a concussion," Green Arrow added while getting up with the boy still in his arms.

He was about to remove the boy's mask, when Batgirl stopped him. "Stop! please don't," Batgirl whispered the last part. Green Arrow looked at Batgirl, then dropped his hand.

Everybody was quiet, and looked between the children and Batgirl. Batgirl was just looking at the kids. Some of the members walked up to the kids to get a better look. M'gaan was about to put Batgirl down when Nightwing put his arm out to stop M'gaan. "No, don't put her down yet." Nightwing looked at Batgirl, "she might try to escape without explaining anything." Batgirl ignored Nightwing, at the moment her mind was preoccupied with other thoughts.

"Batgirl, who are they?" Beast Boy asked. Everybody looked up at Batgirl, waiting to hear. She took a minute before answering.

"It doesn't matter," she stated bluntly.

"Umm, but..."

"Wait," everybody looked towards Artemis, "wait, you know a whole lot of information about the pollen..."

"You come back once we hear about Ivy again..." Robin added.

"It's been five years since you left, and the kids look..." Artemis did not finish her sentence.

"Like they are four or five," Nightwing finished while starring at Batgirl who was starring back at him. Batgirl did not say anything, but she noticed movement from the corner of her eye. She looked at the little girl who was about to wake up. The other members saw Batgirl's gaze shift, and followed her line of sight.

The little girl opened her eyes and blinked a few times. She let out a yawn and rubbed the sleep, shock, out of her eyes. That's when she realized she was in someone's arms. She looked at the person who was carrying her, and stared into Canary's eyes. Canary saw that the girl was a little shocked and confused. The little girl's confused eyes shifted around looking for something, and did not stop until her eyes landed on Batgirl. She opened her mouth but before she could speak, Batgirl beat her to it. "Calm down. You should know all these people, and how friendly all these people can be. No one is going to hurt you or me. Okay?" That seemed to calm the girl down, but she was still confused. Everybody was silent trying to see if the little girl would respond to what Batgirl said.

"But they have you pinned up against a wall." The team heard the cutest voice that they have ever heard. The team started whispering to each other wondering who she was, getting louder with each word.

"Seriously, who are they!?" Bart shouted, wrong move. The little boy in Green Arrow's arms opened his eyes, jumped out of the arms carrying him, and knocked Arrow to the ground. He ran over to Canary and shoved her off balance. Canary's grip on the girl loosened, thus making it easier for the boy to grab the little girl. He then pushed the girl behind him, grabbed something from his pockets, and started backing up.

"Stop!" That voice made him stop dead in his tracks. He looked up at the wall and he saw Batgirl. "Didn't I tell you guys to stay with Agent A? Why on earth would you follow me here? You guys know the whole situation." They did not answer. She let out a sigh, "we can talk about it later then."

Batgirl almost forgot that they had an audience watching them. She let out another sigh and looked at the rest of the team. "M'gaan could you please put me down." Nightwing didn't stop M'gaan as she let Batgirl fall to the ground. Batgirl landed perfectly and she started walking towards the children. The team could hear Batgirl mumbling under hear breath, "first you switch my gas pellets to your confetti ones, then you run away from Agent A and break into the cave's security to get access to the zeta-tubes, and cause this whole mess." Batgirl shook her head once she got closer to them. She bent down on her knees, causing her to be eye level with the kids. Her eyes softened, "are you guys okay?" They nodded, "good then let's go." She stood up and motioned them to follow her. When they didn't, Batgirl went back, picked the girl up, and grabbed the boy's hand. Together they headed towards the zeta-tubes. "Sorry about this Batman, but I gave you all the information that I wanted to give you. And I gave you reasons why this mission should be priority. You can decide the next move, but for now I need to go. You know how to contact me, good bye." And with that last note, Batgirl pushed some buttons outside the zeta-tubes allowing the trio to walk through the tubes together.

Recognized Batgirl B16, Guest 1, Guest 2

Everybody stared after them, with thoughts of what Batgirl has gone through in the past five years. "What just happened?" Nightwing asked both teams, voicing the question that was on many minds.
