"Zatanna! Get Klarion!" Nightwing called.
"Nrut eht starb otni seibab!" Klarion cackled as a red light surrounded the squad.
"Come, Teekl." He said.
"Green Arrow, Flash, Superman, rendezvous at the coordinates I'm sending." Batman said.
"I need The Martian Man hunter, , Wonder Woman and Batgirl." Flash sped to the nearest boom-tube and went up the watchtower. He explained the problem and had said heroes on a jet to the team's location in less than ten minutes.
Gotham, Wayne Manor…
"You and Fate find anything?" Diana asked sweetly. She walked over to Bruce, nearly tripping over Cassie being chased by Dick. Cassie held a long wood block and Dick tried desperately to take the block back. He and Tim where building a castle but Dick insisted it needed to look like a "T"
Dick pulled Cassie's hair as she fled him, laughing and then squeaking when he tangled his fingers in her blonde locks. Diana would have said something but Bruce answered her question.
"Nothing immediately useful." He said gruffly, siting on his couch, "Dr. Fate thinks the effects will reverse over time. But how long can we keep this charade going." Bruce sighed.
"Hopefully long enough, did you send out cover stories?" Diana asked, she sat down next to the Bats.
"I've finished all of them but ones for Zatanna and Artemis. Oliver has no known close friends or immediate family. I can't find anything to use, that would make sense."
"You'll figure something out, you always do." Diana said. Crying filled the room, Dick stood guiltily behind a couch. Bruce recalled what he'd barely seen moments before.
Dick had caught up with Cassie, he grabbed a fistful of her hair again, and he tore the block from her grasp. Not noticing his own strength, he pushed the Wonder Girl aside to complete his project. Cassie fell over a Lego circus Tim built. She broke the structure, Tim cried. But after Cassie fell into Bruce's expensive coffee table. The glass shattered. It spilled over the floor, Dick grabbed Tim and jumped backwards, and Cassie started crying, loudly.
Diana sprang out of her seat and ran to the bawling child. She sucked in air and let it out, her breath wavering each time more.
"Hey, hey. You'll be fine. Cassie." Diana said. She picked up the girl and took her to the bathroom. Bruce took Tim to a separate room to keep him away from the glass shards. The Batman followed Diana to the bathroom, he grabbed a handful of towels from a cabinet and handed then to The Wonder Woman. She held Cassie's leg down. She hugged the girl and quickly pulled out the one shard that had buried its self in her skin. Cassie cried harder and the two adults cleaned up her cuts. It wasn't that bad but Cassie was still in tears.
They finally finished placing a Band-Aid on each cut and Cassie had eased her crying to a soft whimper. Bruce left Diana with the four year-old. He went back to the living room, he found the younger version of his adoptive son glowing. Blindingly bright. He heard Dick screaming. Bruce covered his eyes and when he opened them, there stood a full grown Nightwing.
"Bruce! Hey what happened? This place is a mess!" Dick said.
"A kid happened." Bruce responded.
"Since when does the Batman have kids around?" Dick chuckled and he heard Diana walk into the room with a kid who looked just like a thirteen year-old team member he knew.
"Cassie? How… How is she four?" Dick asked, "Actually, it's coming back now. The fight with Klarion. He did something!"
"Yes, but we can't figure out exactly what happened. Thank Hera you are here now. Maybe you can help us elaborate what had happened." Diana said.
"Not very sure. Things are still blurry. I'll tell you what I remember when I do." Tim found the knob to the door of the room he was placed in and walked awkwardly into Dick.
"Tim?" Dick asked.
"Don't let him near the glass Dick!" Bruce said. Dick picked the boy up into his arms and stepped back away from the glass.
"Tim Did this to Cassie?" Dick asked, seeing the bandages on Cassie's face, arms and legs.
"No Dick. You did." Bruce said. The young man gasped.
