It had been twelve hours since Reiena had gone into labor and she was finally fully dilated. The doctors wheeled her out of the room and were followed by two men, one of them around mid fifties; the other was around Reiena's age. As the gurney went though the double doors to the delivery room, the two men stopped, and a nurse escorted them to the waiting room.

Meanwhile, Reiena was having trouble with her delivery. The baby had become a breached birth and the doctors were trying to turn the baby so its shoulders were not going to get stuck again.

"Okay, Reiena, you're almost there, just one more push." The midwife said as she looked over the blanket.

Just as that was said, Reiena began to flat line. The doctors started CPR, but after three tries, they brought in the heart paddles, and started using them.

"Charge, 200." The main doctor said.

"Charging 200 … clear." The nurse said.

"Nothing, Charge 250." The doctor stated after not hearing a heartbeat come from the machines.

"Charging 250 … clear." The nurse said as she turned back to the machine.

The two men were sitting in the waiting room.

"Do you think she'll be alright, Bruce?" The younger man questioned as he watched the doors.

"I'm sure she'll be fine, Dick, the best doctors are with her." Bruce said as he loosely held his cane under his hands.

"It's taking too long." Dick said with a worried tone.

The doctors tried three more times to shock Reiena's heart back to a rhythm, but to no avail.

"Story, there's nothing more we can do. I'm calling it; time of death 17:09. Prepare for an emergency Caesarean section." The doctor said and the nurse brought the kit. Everyone worked hard to save the baby.

Dick had begun to pace in the waiting room and was thinking about when he found out he was going to be an uncle.

4 ½ months ago

"Dick, don't be mad, it just happened alright. Besides, I'm a grown woman; I don't have to explain myself." Reiena said as she was arguing with her brother.

"Do you at least know who the father is?" Dick asked.

"Of course I do, and you really think I'd cheat on my husband, I love Roy. Geez Dick, get off my back, you're not my father…" Reiena shouted then stopped when she realized what she said. "Oh my gosh, Dick, I'm sorry."

"That was low, sis. You want to go there, fine, I'm out of here." Dick said with anger in his voice then left the manor.

The doctors were making sure that the baby girl, as they found out, to make sure she was healthy.

"Appearance, 1; Pulse, 1; Grimace, 2; Activity, 2; Reflex, 2. APGAR is 8." The nurse said as she checked the child.

"She is ready for the nursery, I have to go and speak with Reiena's family." The head doctor said as the nurse placed the baby girl in the bassinette and wheeled her out of the room. The head doctor then followed the nurse, but went the opposite way to the maternity ward waiting room.

Dick was still pacing, now thinking back to when he arrived at the hospital.

Twelve hours ago

Reiena was in the maternity ward, and Dick came walking into the room.

"Hey sis, Bruce called me, how are you doing?" Bick asked

Great, this is just wonderful. Why are you here, last time we talked you walked out, angry." Reiena said with distress in her voice.

"I'll admit, things got out of hand, and stuff was said that shouldn't have been. Two things; one, I want to say I'm sorry for walking out the way I did and two, I couldn't miss the birth of my sister's child." Dick explained.

"Yea, I wanted to call you and apologize for what I said, I tried so many times, but I just couldn't make that call, I didn't know if you'd forgive me." Reiena said with a bit of calmness to her voice.

Just as Dick turned to head the other way in his pace, the double doors opened and the doctor came in.

"Mr. Wayne, Mr. Grayson; we need to talk, please come with me." The doctor said.

"You can tell us right here." Bruce said as sternly as he could.

"Very well, Mr. Wayne. There were complications with Reiena's delivery, we tried CPR, along with shocking her heart, but nothing worked. We couldn't bring her back, I'm sorry." The doctor informed them.

Dick had a look like his whole world had vanished. He felt like he'd lost his other half. Bruce was also surprised and wanted to cry, but he didn't show it (seeing how he hardly showed any emotion anymore).

"There is some good news, we were able to save the baby. She is healthy and waiting in the nursery." The doctor said, hoping that was some good news for the two.

"May we see her, doctor?" Bruce asked. The doctor nodded and motioned for them to follow him. The three of them left the waiting room.

The doctor stopped at the door into the nursery.

"Just tell the nurse the baby's last name, and she will help you." The doctor stated and walked off.

Dick and Bruce walked in and saw the nurse with a baby in her arms.

"Excuse me, nurse, we are looking for the Grayson baby." Dick said

"Well, look here little one, your daddy and granddad are here to see you." The nurse said to the baby she was holding.

"No, I'm the baby's uncle, her mother was my twin sister." Dick said.

"Well, why don't you two get to know her." The nurse stated and handed the baby off to Dick, then walked away to tend to a baby that was crying.

Bruce and Dick stared at her and knew that the baby was special.

"We should give her a name that is close to Reiena's." Dick said as he looked from the baby to Bruce.

"Agreed." Bruce simply said.

"Gentlemen, I need a name for the baby's birth certificate." The nurse said as she came back to them.

"Ah…Reina." Bruce said first, and looked at Dick, getting a smile and nod from the acrobat.

"Thank you, Areina will be just fine, she can go home in a couple of days." The nurse said as she wrote the name down.

"But… actually I like Areina, I think the name suits her." Dick said. "One thing, where will 'home' be?"

"I may be old, but I can care for her, besides, you don't have any experience raising children, I raised three." Bruce said as he looked at Dick then to Areina.

"Okay, but you know I'm just a couple of cities away if you need me." Dick said as the nurse then took the baby and placed her back in her bassinette.

Seven Years Later

Little Areina was playing with her favorite bouncy ball in the study when she tripped and landed hard against the old grandfather clock there. The little girl screamed as she fell backward, since her fall into the clock had enough force to push it backward. She tumbled down the stairs that were hidden by the clock and landed with a thud on a hard cold floor.

"Ouch, that hurt. Wait I've never seen this part of the house." Areina said as she started to look around, it was dark, but her eyes were adjusting and she could tell it was some kind of cave, but other than that she wasn't sure.

"Areina, where are you?" A voice called out, it was faint as it entered the cave but she recognized it.

"Bruce, I'm in some sort of cave. I can't find the stair I fell down." Areina answered as she looked around. All of a sudden she spotted the archway where the clock had been and a figure was standing in it. Then, lights turned on and illuminated the cave. The girl was awestruck to see where she was, there were computer, display cases and all sorts of stuff.

"What happened dear?" Bruce asked as it was revealed that he was the figure in the archway.

"I was playing with my ball and fell into the grandfather clock, then all of a sudden I fell down some stairs and ended up here. Where are we?" Areina answered, then asked as she was still taking in the whole place.

"I'll tell you when you're older." Bruce said as he held out a hand to his 'granddaughter'.

Just as they started back up the stairs, Areina's eyes fell on the display cases, and she saw six different suits, then she realized what Bruce was trying to hide.

"You were Batman." Areina almost shouted in surprise.

Bruce sighed "Just like her mother with that mind." He thought to himself. "Yes, I was Batman, but that was a long time ago. I gave up that life a few years before you were born. I think you should also know that your mother and uncle were my sidekicks." Bruce said as he knew he couldn't hide the information any longer.

"Cool, wait, if Uncle Dick was Robin, then that means that mom could control fire, she was Cardinal. Super shway." Areina said as she took all this in.

"Yes, all three of us gave up the hero life before you were born, but I just couldn't part with this place, since it was my 'home' most of the time." Bruce explained.

"I want to know what she knew, please Bruce; train me." Areina said as she got a look on her face that Bruce had not seen in a long time, the patented Robin pout.

"I curse the day your uncle taught you that pout, but fine, we can start tomorrow, it's late now, and close to your bedtime." Bruce said as he didn't want to fight with her and she took his hand and they left the batcave together.
