Michi sat in the back of her ancestor's temple in China. Her mother was now being added to those beyond. Several members of the League stood around her father. Rex Stewart was in the garden playing with Frank as his big brother Deidara chased after them. Brendon stood in the other corner, unsure of himself. She instantly regretted a few days before when she said that she hated him. She rushed over to her best friend, handing him a fortune cookie that she'd spent the previous night making with her father. She watched as he opened it and read, 'Best Friends Forever.' She took his hand, "Friends?"

There were never many apologies between the two. They always forgave and moved on. Brendon nodded, "Always."

Zatanna lifted Michiru up in the air, causing the young girl to squirm and squeal as she was tickled. Michi still wasn't sure how she felt about her Aunt. Well, she wasn't really her Aunt. She had just claimed the older woman as soon as they'd met at Brendon's parents' wedding. Zatanna came to all her soccer games. She was there to help when her parents had to work and she had the flu. She even helped her rebuild poster about her family after Frank and Rex got a hold of it. Zatanna was family, but she wasn't her Mommy. She would never be that. She didn't want her to be, "Michi, your daddy says it's time to check into the hotel."

Michi nodded, snuggling into her new guardian's chest. All of Mai's family had wanted to see her, but she barely knew them. Even her grandparents had her to live with them instead of her daddy despite the fact she'd only met them three times. Zatanna had refused for her. Her Aunt had said that she needed her daddy. It was very true. J'onn was the one who kissed her scrapped knee. He gave her good advice. He taught her to tie her shoes and to use the big girl potty. He was everything to the seven year old. Zatanna had explained all of this to her family. She shook up the people who lived in a world of honor and traditions. Michi was pretty sure that she and maybe her father where the only ones who heard why Zatanna refused to have her live in China. It was a faint whisper of, 'You can't take my little girl away.' Michi looked up at her Aunt with her huge chocolate brown eyes, "Aunty Z, will you stay with us?"

"Of course," she carried Michi to J'onn, "Are you ready to go?"

"Yes," J'onn took a deep breath, "I don't want to be here anymore."

He put a hand around Zatanna's waist as they walked away a new family.
