Mala wrote this and I figured it could be the first chapter of the story, so I decided to fix the idea. So Rini's birth will be first, then Areina's twins will be next.

Chapter One

Meygan was grateful that she was still pregnant at 5 months and 17 days in.

She was still bedridden and most days, Kevin was the adoring husband, carrying her everywhere. She was lighter and she lost 15 lbs.; a great concern among the League members, current and retired ones.

But tonight, Terry offered to watch over her at home while Max and some of the team were patrolling Star City. Vincent and Brian weren't, for the best friends/step-brothers were now big brothers to 1 month old Iesha Claire West.

Artemis had Iesha a week after her due date, and she blamed Wally, who took it in stride. Both had been married weeks before Iesha's birth. And the couple was proud parents. And Roy was very happy for them both. Vincent was his son and to see him and his daughter Areina coo over Iesha made him happy.

Wesley took to Iesha very quickly. M'gann noticed that her 1 year old son gravitated to the newest member of his generation.

Wally thought Wesley was in love.

And Conner refused to accept that.

But tonight it was Meygan and Terry, playing an old vid game system called a PlayStation 4.

The game did little to divert Meygan from the increasing pain she felt. She ignored it. Her pregnancy was a pain riddled one.

Her dad, Nightwing I, along with Red Hood, Tim and Barb were trying to track down "the Master" that hurt Meygan and her unborn child. Only Superman and Bruce's calm kept her from feeling panicked.

Terry threw the controller down. "This game's impossible!" he cried.

"Well, it was rated the best game of the year it was released." Meygan winced slightly.

"Meygan?" Terry asked; concern in his voice.

"I'm good." she lied, keeping her face neutral

Terry tilted his head in thought. He then powered off the gaming system and cleaned up. "I'm grabbing a soda? Apple juice for you?" he asked.

"Sure."

Terry left the room.

Meygan laid against the pillows, the pain becoming unbearable.

"I thought he'd never leave."

Meygan's blood froze. Terror filled her as the "Master" came into existence. He grinned at her. "We got unfinished business."

"Screw off!" Meygan threw a sudden sphere of water at him, which hit him and threw him back to the window.

Even cloaked, his anger was palpable. "You'll pay for that." He rushed to hold her down on the bed before she got herself completely off of it.

Her hands went to her bulge to protect it.

"And I know how you can pay for it." His hands crackled to life.

"BATMAN!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.

Then she screamed in agony as he electrocuted her...again.

Terry raced to Meygan's room after she screamed for him and he changed in record time. Her scream met him at the door.

Terry kicked open her door with a single, powerful kick. A part of the door broke off and smacked itself into the "Master" knocking him off of Meygan and her bed.

She panted in pain.

"You sick, dreg of an asshole!" Terry lunged at the villain and got in a punch before the villain threw him off.

The wall rattled behind Terry as he landed but he threw six batarangs at him.

The Master laughed as an electrical field blew them up before they hit him.

Meygan stifled a cry of pain as her water broke. "Oh no, please no." she said mentally

"Meygan?!" came Kevin's frantic mental voice. He was so far away.

She didn't answer.

The Master saw that Meygan was in pain. "My job is-!"

Terry slugged him in the face and although hidden, the blow got the Master in the jaw.

He flew backward, through the window and Terry was quick to pursue, but a muffled cry stopped him and he turned back.

There was blood leaving Meygan from between her legs. "Oh no..."

Fear gripped Terry as he ran to Meygan and saw her face in pain. "Meygan!?"

"Terry...my water...broke." she said panting, tears falling.

"SLAG!" Terry had no clue what to do. "Batman to JLU! That jerk Master was here! Meygan's in labor! I need help!"

"Everyone is on their way as soon as we're done with our fights." Superman said.

Terry swore. He pulled out his phone and called the one person that could help him. "Dana!" he said frantically as soon as he heard her voice.

"Terry, what's wrong?" Dana cried.

"Meygan's in labor!"

"Ok. Get clean towels and hot water. You need to wash up. And take off your shirt, just in case," she instructed.

Terry did as he was told; taking off his costume and shirt and in 10 minutes he got everything ready, he then put his phone on speaker.

Meygan panted, trying hard not to panic but she was. A sudden contraction had her scream and more blood came out of her.

"Slag! Dana, she's bleeding!"

"Terry stay calm. Look to see if she's crowning."

"Um...I have to look between her legs?!" he cried.

"Terry, don't get squeamish now! Blood means she's in trouble. Now look!"

Terry did look. He ripped all of the sheets and blankets out of the way and lifted her skirt. There was so much blood that his stomach lurched. But there was a dark mass there.

"Aaaaaaahhh!" Meygan cried as the next contraction hit her. She pushed instinctively.

That mass moved closer to him.

"Dana, she's crowning! AND she's bleeding badly."

"Ok. Get a towel beneath her then wash your hands again. You've got to deliver Rini."

Terry paled.

Meygan saw it too. "Terry...don't faint on me. Please...'

Terry squared his shoulders and nodded.

"Ok. Now what?"

"Meygan needs to push on the next contraction. You've got to watch her though. She could grow too exhausted to continue."

"Meygan, push on your next contraction. Just breathe right now."

Meygan did just that, trying to stay calm.

"What happened?" Dana asked.

"That jerk the Master came and electrocuted her."

"Terry...make her push now, contraction or not!"

"Huh?"

"Terry, the baby most likely felt that. No infant can take that kind of attack. Kneel down and with a clean towel, get ready to catch her."

"Meygan..."

"The contractions...they stopped!"

Terry got into position. "Push as hard as you can!" he cried.

Meygan bared down, and pushed as hard as she could.

Terry watched as the baby came out, grossing him out to the max. But he stayed steady as the tiny child came out with the cord still attached. He caught the baby in the towel. "I got her Dana! But she's ...the color's wrong."

"Is there anything in her mouth? Or up her nose? If there is, you have to clear it."

Meygan panted but it was weak...slow...

Terry gently pried open the tiny mouth and with a clean finger, cleared out some gunk.

He checked the nose and saw that it was clear. "Ok. But there's no breath."

"Ok. Give her a swat on the butt."

"Why?"

"I want to hear her cry."

Terry gave a swat on Rini's butt.

There was a gasp then a small cry. And she cried, but the sounds were weak.

"She's not loud."

"She's really tiny, Dana." He looked to Meygan and saw her eyes closed. He looked and saw that the bleeding had stopped. "Oh no. Dana, Meygan...I think Meygan..."

"Wrap Rini up and place her on Meygan's stomach. Clean your hands and feel for a pulse."

Terry wrapped Rini up and gently placed her on her mother's stomach. He then felt for a pulse.

He paled.

There wasn't one.

"Meygan!" Molly ran into the room.

"Molly, Meygan's not breathing!" Terry cried.

A glowing hand was on Meygan's neck.

Terry heard the tale tell signs of Boom Tubes popping in.

Molly then pulled her hand back. "She's healing herself." She looked at Terry. He looked ready to puke. "Terry. Go clean up. I got this."

Terry stood there.

"Terry. Clean up." Molly put her glowing hand on the back of Rini and the little girl's cries were a little louder.

"Um...right." Terry said as he finally snapped out of his trance and closed his phone…Dana wouldn't mind being hung up on in this instance. He went to the adjoining bathroom and closed the door.

M'gann and Luna entered the room and saw the blood on the bed covers

Kevin pounded the stairs and rushed into the room. "M...Meygan?" he said, his voice a ghostly sound.

"She's healing herself. Kev, get my bag here and pull out two forceps. Clamp the umbilical cord."

"Rini?" he said, still in awe.

"I'm breathing for her. Do it now."

Snapping out of his trance, he did as instructed.

"Ok. Take the medical scissors and cut the cord."

Kevin nodded and after finding the scissors in Molly's bag, he touched Rini's cheek before cutting it.

"Good. I need to clean her up. Talk to her…Let her hold a finger."

Kevin traded places with Molly as Luna had the last remaining clean towel in her hands.

Kevin reached out to touch Rini's oh-so-small hand.

Rini grabbed his finger with weak strength. She kicked slightly.

"She's your kid." M'gann said.

"I know, hi Rini. We meet at last. You couldn't wait, could you little princess?"

Then Rini did something amazing: she projected above her a small, smiling face.

Kevin cried.

Clark then arrived with the Kryptonian-made incubator. Conner was right on his heels.

Clark put the incubator next to the bed. "She needs to go in."

With great care, Kevin moved his arm under her and picked her up.

She was so small; only half the length of his arm. But a mass of loose, curly strawberry-blonde hair sat on her head.

He carried her carefully to the incubator and placed her inside.

The incubator then produced a clear roof over her and a warm light bathed her before the small remote in Clark's hand beeped.

He handed it over to Molly. "This will give you her vitals. And it translates them into English."

"Thanks, Great Uncle Clark"

Kevin sat back on the bed, worried about Meygan as the slightest purple glow now showed up. "How bad?" he asked.

"Meygan's lost far too much blood." Molly said. "And we can all see that."

"Where's Terry?" Clark asked.

"In the bathroom."

It took some time but when those in Meygan's room made their way downstairs, everyone was crowded in the living room and kitchen.

"Molly?!" Dick said; his voice anything but calm.

"Rini's fine. She's in the incubator and doing well. Her weight was on target and she's tiny but in a few months, she'll be fine."

There were cheers at those words.

"She's definitely Martian." Kevin commented.

"What about Meygan?" Dick asked his 12 year old daughter

"She's...healing herself. But she lost so much blood. We might need Aunt Raven."

Dick closed his eyes. 15 seconds later, he opened them. "She's on her way."

Terry was the last to come down, white as a ghost. He got a thundering applause but he just wanted some air. So he went out the back kitchen door without a word.

Everyone made their way out as Terry sat on the bottom step and shook.

Dick and Serenity were kneeling in front of him. "Terry?"

"PLEASE tell me I never have to do that again." Terry said, finding his voice.

"No. I think we're good." Dick placed a hand on his shoulder. "Thank you."

"Only thank me if Rini lives." Terry still wanted to puke.

"She will thanks to you." Serenity said.

"Meygan isn't dead?"

"No. Just healing herself, but she does need a blood transfusion from Raven" Serenity answered.

"Ok." Terry said, but he was still shaken up. "I'm sorry I didn't stop the Master in time. He must have waited for me to leave the room to attack Meygan."

"You still kept him from killing them both. Then you had to deliver Rini. That's not an easy job for Batman."

"You're right, Dick. That's a job for Superman." he joked flatly.

There were a few tense laughs at that remark.

"Very funny Terry." Clark commented.

"At least it lightened the mood a bit."

Clark shook his head.

"Where's Areina?" Terry asked.

"Her and Orin were his previous targets, before he came after Meygan. Bruce is in England, so they were house sitting at the manor. Don't worry; Jason and Eric got there to help Orin. Areina was never harmed."

"I need to make sure."

"Alright, they should still be at the manor."

Terry got up but was still shaken up.

"I'll go with." Dick used his mother box to open a tube and he helped Terry into it.

BBBBBBBBBBBB

Wayne Manor; Five Minutes Later

The Boom Tube had opened in the Batcave and the two heroes headed out of the cave to look for Areina, Orin, Jason, and Eric. They soon found the four in the living room and Jason looked worse for wear.
"Areina, are you alright?" Terry asked as he saw that she was sitting down, looking winded.

"I'm fine, Terry. Was just helping bandage up these three." Areina remarked as she smiled.

"That bastard is going to get it. I'm sick of him coming after the girls." Jason said, and that's when Dick and Terry saw his arms bandaged up.

"What happened to your arms?" Dick asked his little brother.

"I'll tell you about my arms in private, but he also got a few ribs." Jason said.

"Looks like you two didn't get hurt as bad." Terry said as he looked at Orin and Eric; who only had a few cuts.

"Jason took the brunt of the attacks." Orin told his teammate.

"Whoever the Master is….he's a good fighter." Eric remarked.

"So, how did he get in?" Terry asked, and that's when Dick and Jason went to talk alone.

"So what happened to your arms?" Dick asked again.

Jason unwrapped them and Dick saw that they were burned. "HE did this, I don't know how, but I think he's part wizard. Areina was able to put the fire out before the burns got worse, but I don't know, something doesn't feel right about this guy." Jason told his older brother.

"Alright, I'll keep that in mind about him. How about we get back to Areina and the others?" Dick said.

With that Jason nodded and the two former Robins went to meet up with the kids.

"Areina, didn't Molly say it was dangerous to use your powers while you were pregnant?" Terry asked.

"If I didn't use them, then Jason would have been burned more than he is." Areina told her partner in crime fighting in Gotham.

"It wasn't long for her powers to put out the fire anyway." Eric said.

"She had to protect me from the heat of the fire as well." Orin told Terry.

"True; but what does he have against you Graysons….first you then he went after Meygan." Terry told his teammates.

"WHAT!" Areina shouted.

"Yea, he waited till I was out of the room and then electrocuted her." Terry told the second generation fire controller.

"Okay that does it, I don't care if I AM pregnant, he needs to burn." Areina said as she started to give the batglare.

"You know Etrigan won't allow that." A familiar voice said.

"I don't care, I'll fight him too….no one messes with my family." Areina said.

"Bruce…how was England?" Orin asked his grandfather in law.

"Good, but right now, my grandchildren need me. What about Meygan's baby?" Bruce asked his first son.

"I had to deliver her." Terry said, and he shook as the thoughts of what had just happened came back to him.

"Molly took care of her, and Clark brought in an incubator since Rini is a preme." Dick told his father.

"This Master must be going after the girls because they are the descendants of King Arthur." Bruce said as he thought about it.

"Then Jason's right, this guys IS part wizard." Dick said.

"Uncle Dick; you need to be with Meygan right now, I'll be alright. I called dad and he's coming over to our house in a bit." Areina told her uncle.

"Okay, Stripes. I'll see you later." Dick said, and with that he activated his mother box and left out the same way he had arrived.

It wasn't long before Areina and Orin left….after Areina rewrapped Jason's arms. Tim came to pick up Eric, and Terry went to see Dana and thank her for the help; so that left Bruce alone.

"Merlin was right when he came to Dick's house that day….this family is going to have to stay close to win the fight." Bruce said to himself as Ace walked up and licked his hand to welcome him home.
