"Batman to Robin. Batman to robin!" His communicator went off. He slowly got out of bed and walked over to his dresser. Although he was sleeping his mask was still on and his hair was still spiked. "Batman? Is that you?" he questioned, agast that his mentor would be calling at such an ungodly hour after they haven't spoken in months… maybe years.

"Good to see you kid." Batman answered.

Robin smiled and fixed his mask, "Long time no hear from," he felt as though that were an understatement of the time that had past, "So I'm guessing this is important or else you wouldn't be calling me at 2:00 in the morning. By the way I go by Nightwing now" He said with a yawn.

"Nothing bad. It's just that the League and I…"

"You're finally letting me join?" he asked with excitement, jolting awake.

"No, not exactly."

"Well then what?"

"We're holding a kind of… school tryout next Monday. If you make the cut you get sorted into a group, you get to live up here in the watchtower and you get to go on missions with members of them team." Batman explained, "It just would've been a shame if hadn't known about it."

"You just wanted to see me again. I know it." Robin…er… Nightwing said.

"Don't get cocky boy. I'm telling you this early so you can train for the test. You don't pass the test then you don't get in. Batman out!" Batman turned off the com-link.

Nightwing stood there looking at the blank screen for a second, wondering if he should go or not. He had been on his own for quite some time now and was doing just fine. A better question, if he should tell the old team or not. He hadn't spoke to them since they split up. Of course it wasn't like any of them tried to contact him either. At the moment he was too sleepy to think and fell back into his bed.

The Green lantern flew into the communications room, green streak following behind him. He landed next to J'onn the Martian man hunter. "You said there was a message for me J'onn?" he asked.

"Yes, John. Kat, your past green lantern corps commander left you a message that you'll be very interested in seeing." He said typing on the keyboard. He pushed enter and Kat's face popped up.

"Hello John. I have a surprise for you! We at the Lantern Corps have been keeping a secret from that we're ready to let fly."

Green Lanterns eyes widened, "J'onn what's going on here?"

"Just watch."

"Two years back we enlisted a young girl into the Green lantern Corps, where she has been the most powerful so far and now we are sending her to you for training." Kat clapped her hands together, "But that's not it the girl… is… your…"

"Don't say it!"

"Niece! Ah, it was so perfect when she told us who she was! Well she should be there shortly. But John," her voice got serious, "There's something important you need to know about her powers. Call me when she gets there. Kat over and out!" the screen went blank.

John Stewart gazed bedaffled at the screen before him. My niece is a Guardian and she's coming here? Why does it seem like these things always happen to me? He questioned himself. He patted the Martian man hunter on the back and flew to the conference room, not really sure of what to tell the other Justice League members.

"Guys I think we have our first tester. My…" he paused. The sentence was hard to get out, "My niece is coming." He slumped in his chair at the conference table as all gazes turned to him. He didn't exactly know how they would take it.

Superman, Batman, Wonder woman, and Hawk girl all dropped their jaws at once. "You don't come from a super powered gene family, do you?" asked Hawkgirl.

John shook his head, "No, no it turns out she's a guardian… like me. Kat left this message saying that they want me to finish her training or something like that." He explained mournfully.

"Wait, wait we have another Green Lantern coming? One of you is bad enough, GL." Said Wally West, strutting into the room.

"I'm sure she's a well mannered young lady, John. Just give it some time to adjust." Wonder woman said in a loving voice, patting him on the shoulder.

"I hope so. I haven't seen her since she was eight years old and she must be, what, eighteen now. I wonder if she remembers me." He bowed his head, "I wonder what she looks like now." He said.

The Flash suddenly stood up. "Probably like a babe with a side of bodacious sauce!"

John began to laugh. "I hope she doesn't look like anyone you'd date Wally!" he said. He noticed that everyone was looking at him or rather through him. He turned around and his jaw dropped.

Behind him stood a young girl with long black hair. Her skin was slightly lighter than his and her suit was like his except for the "missing" mid section, the purple gloves and the purple boots. He noticed that instead of green her ring was purple but he couldn't fathom why. But that could be figured out later, "Nikki?"

The Flash put his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear, "Please say that you're eighteen."

The girl put her arms around his neck and looked deep into his masked eyes with her glowing purple ones. "Sorry Wally West, I'm out of your league." She whispered. Her eyes began to glow a dangerous purple and she sent the Flash flying across the conference room. When the dust cleared she gave him a wink and turned to her uncle. "Hey uncle J." she squealed, running to hug him.

He smiled and hugged her back. "Hey Nivira. How's you mom?"

The super heroes in back of him began snickering.

"She's fine I guess. I haven't seen her since I left. She wasn't so fond of the idea. But now I can be like you! A REAL HERO!" she jumped up and down squealing.

"What? No! You're sent here to train this isn't your sector is it?" he asked, using his ring to keep her from jumping.

"No, News of the academy thing you guys are holding reached all the way out to the sector I was in at the time so Kat sent me here. I saw a flier when I stopped for chilidogs." She explained, "So where can I put my stuff until preliminaries?"

The League looked at each other in confusion. "She could always stay with me." The Flash offered.

"NO!" everybody said in unison.

"Why can't we put her in the student housing?" asked John.

"Because it's not done yet and their reserved for the groups." Superman said trying to shush John.

Hawk girl stepped forward, "I'll show her to a temp room. Come on. You names Nivira right?"

"Yes maame." The girl said.

"Well come on then, follow me." She flapped her large angelic wings and began to fly.

Nivira activated her ring. An aura of purple surrounded her and she crouched to take off but looked back, "Oh, Wally,"

"Yeah?" the flash said standing up fast.

"If you still want to hang out later, I'm game." She winked and flew off after Hawkgirl.

Wally sat there for a moment with his tongue hanging out, "GL your niece is a babe!" he said with enthusiasm.

"Don't even think about it teepee for pants!" he laughed as everyone joined in.

Wally looked down and saw that his happiness to see Nivira was showing. He covered up his lower area and ran off.

"I see having you niece here won't be a distraction at all." Batman remarked in a sarcastic way. The others were still laughing. He however was not laughing. Something was off about the girl, something he couldn't quite put his finger on.
