Sorry for the slow update!School and my two jobs are keeping me on my toes!

I have decided to update at least one or two stories a month just to make you guys happy! I am not sure which will be uploaded when but I will try and keep that routine. If there is a certain story you really want to see updated let me know and I can order them as such. As always keeping reviewing and let me know if you guys have any ideas!

Stephanie slowly opened her eyes. Sitting up she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. Hooping of the bed, she walked to the bathroom, jumped onto the counter, and looked in the mirror.

"Oh God it wasn't a dream." Looking at your younger self was definitely one of the weirdest experiences of her life; even though she couldn't remember much about said life. Before more thoughts could be put into the subject a loud grumble came from her stomach.

"I hear yea. Nothing can be done on an empty stomach." As she patted her stomach and jumped down from the counter to head downstairs. As she entered the hallway, no one else was around but luckily her room was not far from the staircase leading down. Upon getting taking that last step Steph heard voices from a nearby room.

Sitting at a table that could fit 20 people, were the stranger men from last night. At the head of the table was the large, scary man, to his right sat the over grown child, next to him was the rude kid, and on the opposite side sat the quiet but polite guy with the old guy serving them food.

Of course it was practically impossible to sneak up on a bat so they instantly noticed her presence, but let her take her time to immerge into the room.

"Good morning young miss." The elderly man greeted her with a smile and pulled out a chair to Tim's left. Tim paused in eating to offer her a small smile, which was a rare thing to see from him early in the morning.

"Morning." She quietly replied as she slowly made her way over to the table. Once sat, a plate of waffles was put in front of her and she knew she would instantly like this old guy as Steph practically inhaled the stack of waffles.

"You can slow down. The food isn't going anywhere." Dick chuckled as he continued to eat his cereal. Damian just ignored all of them as he listened to his music.

"Sorry. Where I come from you grab food whenever you can." Steph made this admission so carelessly as she continue to eat that she did not notice all the eyes land on her. It was easy to forget that Steph came from the same part of Gotham that Jason did, and she knew the hardships it entailed.

"Dick is right, take your time and eat as much as you want. After breakfast we will check on those results from last night." Bruce explained.

Steph just nodded and started in on her second plate.

After heading downstairs to figure what exactly happened with Stephanie a few days ago. As Bruce and Tim headed towards the computer, where hopefully the test results could shine some light, Dick was showing Steph around the cave.

"So you guys dress up and fight criminals and this is like your secret base?"

"Pretty much."

"That is so cool!" The excitement clearly shining on her face was one that only an innocent child could possess and Dick couldn't help but laugh. Even though he wasn't as close to Steph as Tim and Cass were, he was protective of all of his family members and he love to see them happy. Even if said happiness came from being de-aged and losing your memory. Luckily Steph didn't ask about her costume and wasn't interested in seeing the others for more than 5 minutes; apparently she was one of those kids with a short attention span.

As she continued to explore the vast cave, Dick made sure to keep a close eye on the fairly small 8 year old. It was far too easy to get hurt down here and the cave was by no means child friendly. But after their 'first' encounter last night he decided to not talk down to her, not that that was ever his intention, or treat her like a child, even though she was, and let her have free range for the most part.

"What's that?" Having found the trapeze set.

Dick's face lit up even more at the chance to explain something from his childhood and possibly show off.

"That is one of the most fun things you could ever do!"

"Really? Can I go up?"

"Maybe at a later time young miss. Master Bruce and Tim have the results back from last night." Steph jumped a little from the mysteriously quiet footsteps of the elderly man. How was he so quiet?

As they walked over, Steph noticed the rude kid from last night was now standing by the computer too. What was his name? Derek? Drake? Oh well doesn't matter. All she knows is she doesn't like him.

Upon getting closer Steph could see the Bruce and Tim did not look happy at all.

"Did you guys find out what's wrong?" Dick asked as he went to stand next to Damian.

"That's the problem. According to these there is nothing wrong." Tim furrowed his brow in frustration as he shifted through the papers.

"Perhaps it is not something physical?" Alfred offered with his input

"Alfie's right. Maybe it's something magic related?"

"Could be and if that's the case than this will take longer to resolve than anticipated. Both Zatana and Doctor Fate are off world for an extended period of time." Bruce signed

"Tt of course Brown would cause more problems than she is worth. She is almost as bad as Todd and Drake." Damian thought this investigation was a waste of time and father and Grayson should not be worried about such as pointless matter.

During this discussion Steph stood near Tim with a confused look on her face. Why were they running tests? Was there something wrong with her? She may be feeling shyer around these strangers but she was not one to back down from her fears.

"Is there something wrong with me?" All heads turned toward the out of place little girl dressed in oversized clothes with an overly serious look on her face.

"That would be an understatement." Damian sneered. Before Steph could offer a rebuttal Bruce jumped in.

"No there is nothing wrong." Offering a vague answer with a small smile before walking over to the computer. Steph couldn't help but doubt him. Something about this guy told her that he was good at keeping secrets.

Noticing her intense focus on Bruce, Tim decided to take her mind off their issue for a moment.

"How about we head upstairs and go out to get some ice cream?" Usually Dick would be the one to offer such an activity but Tim knew that his under aged best friend needed something carefree and fun.

"That's a great idea Timmy!"

"Normally I wouldn't endorse such an idea but I feel that it would be a good opportunity to get some appropriate clothing for the young miss."

Stephanie looked down to notice she was still in the oversized clothes from last night.

"It's decided then." Tim stated as he grabbed Steph shoulders and gently pushed her towards the stairs.

"Tt what is the point of going out to eat a frozen, sugary dairy products? " Damian complained but followed the others towards the stairs. Dick turned back with his typical smile.

"Come on little D, it will be fun to get out and ice cream makes everything better."

"Tt I doubt that."

About an hour later they had finally made it to the ice cream shop after finding some clothes that would suit Stephanie a lit bit better. Not to mention the time it took time for Dick to convince Damian to come. Alfred made sure to inform the older two to get Steph appropriate clothing while out. Luckily the little hole in the wall ice cream shop that Steph wanted to go too was not busy at all.

"Welcome to Teddy's! What can I get you?" This perky young blonde asked from behind the counter as she focus her gaze on Dick.

"I will take a small rocky road and he will take a small vanilla." Dick pointed at Damian before offering a charming smile causing the girl to blush a little.

Tim rolled his eyes before stepping up to the counter with Steph and offered a more polite smile to the girl.

"Can I get a small mocha?"

"Sure thing and what can I get you sweetie?" As she smiled over to Steph who was busy scoping out the different flavors on her tippy toes.

"Can I get that one?" Steph directed the question towards Tim as he looked over to see her pointing to the bubblegum flavor.

"Of course you can. One small bubble gum."

"No problem." As she moved to get the last of their order.

"Thank you!" Like any kid, she couldn't get to the ice cream quick enough.

As they sat at the table, Steph inhaling her sweet treat, Tim and Dick started talking about where to get clothes and random things in their life, and Damian ignoring all of them by looking at the window. When the bell above the door dinged.

Standing in the doorway stood was a fairly tall man with a leather jacket, a don't mess with me attitude, and white bangs. Next to him stood a much smaller woman with a quiet presence and eyes that seemed to observe everything in the span of a minute.
