Bruce Wayne's POV

I watched as Mari and her friend walked back into the school from my rearview mirror. Oh, god, I said her name. No, BATMAN said her name. And I don't have a doubt that she noticed. Regardless of the situation, I think that now would be perfect time to let her know who I am, who her parents are, and most importantly, who she is. The only problem, she's not my daughter. It's only right that Dick and Kori tell her, and I can't let this go until they do. I drove back down to the Grayson's house to discuss the matter.

Koriand'r Grayson's POV

As I was cleaning the house, I had stumbled upon some of my old items from Tamaran. Most of it was different kinds of technology to help keep in touch with my parents and brother. Oh, I miss them. I remembered how hard it was when I first came to Earth, and how I felt that I could not fit in. Especially at the time of the transformation. I giggled at the memory. Oh how relieved I was when Raven explained that everyone has 'the puberty'. Which brings me to another subject. What if Mari's powers show up? She is old enough. What are Richard and I to do? I was brought out of my thought by a knock on the door. It was Bruce. He seemed quite concerned about something.

"Kori, I need to have a word with you and Dick"

Dick Grayson's POV

Kori came into our room looking very serious. I hardly ever saw her like that."What's wrong, Kori?"

"Bruce wishes to speak with us. He does not seem too joyful"

I took her by the hand and we walked out to the living room to see Bruce.I have a pretty good idea that this has to do with Mari "What's going on, Bruce?"

" I was searching the city for criminals, when I saw two men kidnap Mari and-"

"YOU SAW WHAT?"Becoming very infuriated and frantic, I sprinted to the door getting ready find Mari and beat those bastards, Kori quickly followed.

"Wait she's alright!",Bruce quickly explained.

"She is?" With a breath of relief, I calmed myself down and closed the door.

"Yes, she's perfectly fine now, and those guys are taken care of."

I narrowed my eyes and crossed my arms."Then what's the recent problem?"

"When I brought her back to school, I addressed her by her name, forgetting I was still Batman."

"Do you think she'll get suspicious?"

"I'm pretty sure she already did,but that's not the main point of this discussion. We need to tell her now."

"No. I don't think she's-"

"Richard, look at what just happened. She needs to know",Kori interrupted

"What if she's not ready?"

"She will not become any more ready"

"Your right, Kori. We have to tell her. It's time"

Devin Bloodheart's POV

Throughout class, my mind was completely focused on Mari. The expression on her stunning emerald eyes and her constant hair-braiding showed that she was as just as confused as I was that Batman knew her name. The fact that he did concerns me greatly. As the bell rang for class change, she walked quickly behind me so she could show me where our next class was, just as Ms. Lane had instructed.

"So your math class is just around the corner, at room 2413, okay?" She told me quite boldly.

I nodded, but I wasn't thinking anything of what she was saying. I need to know more about her, and why Batman knew her. I know all the ins and outs of him…but she doesn't! I have an idea… "I know it's off topic, but do you know Bruce Wayne?"

" Mr. Wayne is really close with me and my family. Wait - You know him too?."

"A little. I know of him anyway". I knew that was a lie, but not a complete one. I haven't actually met him. Anyway this is just what I expected to hear her say. That can't be good. Now what about her family? "Hey Mari, I'm curious. What's your last name?"

"Grayson. Because I'm the daughter of Dick Grayson"

DICK GRAYSON! The silky black hair and abnormal green eyes started showing the resemblance. She's the daughter of Nightwing and Starfire! She's a titan child! And where there's one there's sure to be others. My task is going to be much harder than I thought. There's only one thing left to do now.

Mari Grayson's POV

As Devin and I kept talking, I started to have second thoughts about him. Maybe he's not so bad. I just needed to get to know him better. He still seems kind of dark and mysterious, but that could be a good thing. In fact, I think it's sexy. My mind shifted away from the topic and back to all the questions. How did he know Mr. Wayne? Why did he ask me about him? The confusion was hurting my brain. I'll figure it out later. Just then, the intercom came on.

"Attention students, due to the recent incident, the school will be releasing you at this time. Please come to the front of the school for the buses to pick you up. Thank you."

I get to come home early? Sweet! I guess I'll say my goodbyes to Devin and head home then! I'm so happy that as I'm running I can just feel my feet lifting off the ground!Wait- I REALLY AM OFF THE GROUND! I shrieked and fell back down. I can fly? That's pleasantly shocking! Forget the bus! I can get home much faster this way! But boy am I having a talk with my parents when I do. Something's going on, but more than that. There's a bigger picture to this. I can feel it.

I flew straight home with extreme excitement and nervousness about what was about to happen. I rang the doorbell, still floating, just so mom and dad know what I learned so far. Mom opened the door.

"Mari, you are home early- *gasp* and flying!"

"Yep. Guess we need to talk about all this, don't we?"

"You don't know the half of it", Mr. Wayne said as he came behind my mom.

"Alright, come in. Let's talk" He said both readily and assuring. I walked in, seeing dad sitting in the living room nervously. He looked at me, stunned that I could fly.

"Sit down", he instructed, gesturing to one of the chairs. I sat down, and my mom and Mr. Wayne did the same. This is it. I can tell questions are finally about to be answered.

"You know of the stories of heroes and heroines around here and Gotham, right?"

I nodded, paying close attention. "I know that they're all true, I mean they're legacies. In fact, I even saw Batman today and he-"

"Said your name" Bruce finished. "I know. We all know".

"Hang on, you know the Batman?"

"Yes, simply because he's me"

"Oh my god", I whispered. "So, if you're Batman, then there has to be a Robin somewhere". My dad blushed.

"Well there was a couple, a long time ago" Bruce continued, "I still know one of them though. But he's not Robin any more. He grew up, and raised a beautiful daughter" He pointed towards my dad. I looked at him, as my eyes started widening.

"So, you're Batman,and Dad used to be Robin!, Then .. you're like.. my grandfather!"

Mr. Wayne grinned

"I guess you could say that."

Well, now I see why my family has a connection with this well-known Gotham City billionaire. It also explains half the reason I'm taking a karate class. Incredible! I took a breath and asked another question. "Why can I fly?"

"It is, the heredity", my mom answered. "You took after me, a tamaranian, so you are only partially human "

"I'm part Tamaranian? You're Starfire?"

"Yes"

"That means I have more powers to come , doesn't it?"

My mother nodded.

Wow. My mother is an alien and my father, well, is a lot of things. And I'll be just like them. On one hand this is quite scary, but on the other hand quite breathtaking. I could get used to this! I'd be like a teenage superhero! My excitement faded when I looked back over at my father. He still hasn't said anything. "Dad, don't you have anything to say?"

"I guess I just don't know what to say Mari." he told me.

"So what's supposed to happen now",I asked blankly.

"Nothing. You're related to titans, there's not much more to it."

"Richard, that's not true", my mom argued "She supposed to know that she needs to take our place and protect the city at some point"

"She's not ready yet Kori, she's just not"
