This week couldn't have gotten any worse; first the team came back from a DISasterous mission, and then the bullies just made school unbearable. These things, however, were not even the icing on the cake, as now she was being used against her father. Let's get back to how this all started shall we.
Three Days Ago
It was time for another trip to a peace conference, and the twins were excited to be on vacation as they were so tired from the past week.
"Come on Bruce, we're here." The bouncy ebony haired boy said as he got to the exit door of their private jet.
"Dick, there are times I can't believe we're twins." The 13 year old girl said.
"Oh come on, Reiena, you get hyper sometimes." Dick stated.
"Yea, but just because we're back in Geneva you're bouncing off the plane's walls." Reiena told her brother.
"Alright you two, let's just get to the hotel." The man, whom Dick had called Bruce, said.
The twins stopped their bickering, and got off the plane once the door was open. Bruce was right behind them, and couldn't believe his son when Dick jumped before the stairs were brought and did a flip to the ground. Reiena and Bruce just rolled their eyes. The acrobat's twin should be use to this after 13 years, but she still can't get over that fact. Bruce had only had them for five years but he still can't see how he never had any broken bones from his acrobatics.

Hotel 20 Minutes Later
The limo had pulled up with the Gotham billionaire and his two children inside and from far above the street in his own suite, someone was watching.
"So, he did bring them this time, looks like I'm going to be able to put my plan into action." The suite's occupant said, and with that he smiled.
Back on the ground floor; Bruce, Dick, and Reiena walked in and were immediately bombarded by the press. The billionaire instinctively got between the stampede of reporters and his children.
"Mr. Wayne, do you think that this peace conference with stop the breakdown of the Rhelasian treaty." One reporter asked.
"Kids, are you still upset that your parents are gone?" A second reporter asked.
When the question left the reporter's mouth, the twins tensed, and Bruce sensed it. His paternal instincts kicked in and he went right after the reporter, who he realized was from Gotham and should have known better than to ask that question. "You're lucky the twins are watching, but if you or anyone else ever asks about that subject again, it won't be pretty."
The twins relaxed and snuck away, figuring that not only Bruce wanted to get them away from the paparazzi, but wanted to beat that one reporter's face in for asking about their parents. It wasn't long before Bruce joined them.
"Sorry about that, guys." Bruce said.
"It wasn't your fault, Bruce, we still get teases about it in school." Reiena told her adoptive father.
"Alright, well let's check in then you two can go to the arcade for a while." Bruce said, making a mental note to talk to the principal of Gotham Academy about the bullying.
The three Gotham citizens headed to the check in desk and soon enough the twins were heading off to the arcade.
YJYJYJYJYJYJYJYJ
Deep in the shadows at the back of the arcade, a mysterious figure was watching the entire area. When the twins arrived, the figure waited till their attention was grabbed by the video games and laser tag. Soon enough, they were occupied with beating each other at air hockey, and it also turns out that they were the only ones there. The figure saw its opportunity and came out of hiding.
"Hello children, it's time you went for a little ride." The figure said and with that, the twins turned around and saw Metallo.
The twins started to run, and while they avoided the Metropolis villain, Dick activated something on his watch.
YJYJYJYJYJYJYJYJ
In their large hotel room, Bruce was unpacking his things and putting them in the closet, when he heard his phone going off. When he checked it, he saw there was an emergency beacon going off. The Gotham billionaire quickly grabbed a spare satchel he had and headed into the bathroom.
YJYJYJYJYJYJYJYJ
They were dashing around avoiding Metallo and even made it outside of the hotel, but that's when Metallo started using his body's transformation capabilities to lasso the twins. Soon enough, he did capture Dick, and Reiena just stood there stunned. Metallo smiled as he sent a metal lasso at the ex fire dancer, but suddenly it was severed by a batarang.
"WHAT!" Metallo said as he drew back what was left of his arm. Dick had been struggling but stopped when the batarang hit the wall after cutting Metallo's arm.
"Leave them alone, besides, aren't you a bit far from Metropolis." A menacing voice said.
When Metallo turned around, he saw Batman standing there.
"What are you doing in Geneva, Batman?" Metallo questioned with surprise in his voice.
"There have been multiple threats against the Wayne family, and so Mr. Wayne requested my presence." Batman said as he reached to his belt and pulled another batarang. "Let the boy go now."
As soon as she knew she was safe, Reiena took off and got to a safe place behind The Dark Knight.
"What makes you think you have the advantage here." Metallo asked.
Out of nowhere, a fireball came and hit Metallo's arm, and the metal was heated enough that the arm split, making the Metropolis villain drop Dick. The boy followed his sister's lead and got to a safe place behind Batman.
"Good work, Cardinal." Batman said lowly.
"So the bat brats are here too, well I'll see them next time." Metallo said and with that he blasted off with the rocket boots that were in his metal feet.
Soon enough, after making sure Metallo was gone, Batman turned to the area where the twins were. The two ebony haired 13 year olds looked at the Dark Knight and smirked.
"Let's get you two back to where you belong." Batman said, keeping up his façade.
The twins nod and Batman leads them off toward the hotel.
YJYJYJYJYJYJYJYJYJ
Metallo soon arrives in a room in an abandoned building, and when he entered he saw a figure.
"Well, where are the children?" The mysterious figure asked.
"I'm sorry Mr. Luthor, but Batman showed up." Metallo said.
"That's alright, I have a secondary plan, and you will not be needed." Mr. Luthor said as his hand shot out and grabbed Metallo's Kryptonite heart. Just as quickly as Luthor grabbed the heart, he ripped it out, and Metallo shut down.
YJYJYJYJYJYJYJYJYJ
The twins arrived in their room with Batman, and after making sure the room was secure, the Dark Knight removed his cowl, revealing Bruce Wayne.
"Are you both okay?" Bruce asked.
"Yea, and it was genius for Reiena to send that fireball and make Metallo think that Robin and Cardinal were there too." Dick said, lightly elbowing his sister.
"Well, we better be careful after this. I don't want you two going off without each other. Metallo may try again, and I just want you two safe." Bruce said as he pulled off the top of his costume and headed into his bedroom to return to his billionaire persona.
"I think we should take a look into this since Bruce has to get to the conference soon." Reiena said.
"Good thing we brought our outfits." Dick said as he headed off to his bedroom in the apartment like hotel room. Reiena followed her brother's lead, but then she thought about it.
"Wait bro, what if we set a trap, I don't mind being bait." Reiena said to her other half.
"How about you look around as Reiena, and I go around as Robin; besides, you hate going through air vents." Dick suggested. His sister just nodded, and with that the boy wonder took off into his room.
Reiena then headed out of the suite to check out everything and her bother would soon be there.
YJYJYJYJYJYJYJ
Back in his own suite, Luthor was talking to his right hand girl, Mercy. With Metallo's failure at capturing the Gotham twins, the Metropolis billionaire needed another plan to capture the children.
"Lex, why not just get one, going after both of them seems to be the wrong way." Mercy said.
"Ah, of course, I'm sure they are apart at some times." Lex said. "I want you to keep an eye on those brats, and when you see that they are separated, capture one."
Mercy only nodded as she got a small smirk on her face, and then left the room.
YJYJYJYJYJYJYJ
Reiena was out and about, mostly in the game room, when her attention was turned to a sound.
"Hello Miss Grayson, Batman wanted me and my sister Cardinal to keep an eye on you and your brother." A voice said. Reiena knew that voice belonged to her brother and that he was in disguise, so she played her role.
"Oh, well, since there was one attempt, Bruce wanted us to stay together, but Dick went to lay down. Also, when you see your sister, tell her thanks for saving Dick." Reiena said, keeping up her billionaire 13 year old persona.
"Cardinal is going to take care of your brother, don't worry." Robin asked.
"I wanted to play some games; I'm happy that Batman agreed to come with Bruce to Geneva after all the threats." Reiena said.
"Alright, well I'll stay in the shadows, you know, being a protégé to the DARK Knight. If you need anything, I'll be close by." Robin said, and with that, he faded into the shadows like he said.
Twenty Minutes Later
Reiena was having fun playing in the arcade, when all of a sudden, Robin came out of the shadows with a birdarang ready. The teen girl turned around, and saw someone she recognized.
"Mercy, what are you…." Was all Reiena said before she was shocked that Mercy's right arm started transforming.
The metropolis billionaire's right hand started firing lasers from her transformed arm, and Robin was at Reiena's side with a speed that would put Kid Flash to shame and got her out of the way. Soon enough, Robin and Mercy were going at it. Reiena could only watch; oh how she wished she were Cardinal right now, but she wasn't so she stayed hidden.
"So, Luthor's behind this huh, that's nice to ….." Robin started to taunt before one of Mercy's blast hit him square in the chest. This sent the boy wonder flying into one of the games, and he was out when he hit the floor below him.
"Robin!" Reiena screamed, and that's when Mercy pulled out a gun. It wasn't a regular gun, as the young girl realized when she got shot with two cords, and suddenly her body was seizing and that's when, before she passed out, she knew the gun was a taser.
Once Reiena was unconscious, Mercy dropped the taser gun, walked over to the girl, removed the cords from her body, and picked her up. Robin had come to for a moment, and through blurry eyes, saw Mercy walking away with his sister.
"Reiena." Robin said to himself as he slipped back into unconsciousness.
So, Luthor has one of the Grayson Twins, but what's his reason for taking her. You'll have to stay tuned to find out. I'm seeing this as a three shot, but it won't take long.
