-At Valley of Souls—

Batman stared at his dead parents for long time…

"Bruce…" said Martha "Please comes to us… Please stop torturing yourself… We missed you lot…"

"Mom… Dad…" sniffed Batman as he step one closer to his dead parents.

"Your mother and I want you to stop torturing yourself with the war on crimes and let it go peaceful… We want you to come with us…" said Thomas.

'Wait... Those are not my parents!' thought Batman as he stopped in his tracks.

"NO! I promised on my vow that I would remove crimes that took your lives!" cried Batman.

"Son! Don't yell at us!" shouted Thomas.

"The parents I knew & loved would never say that! They would encourage me to continue my war against crime!" said Batman as he threw two batarangs against them. The spirits disappeared. Batman ran toward to Wonder Woman and tried help her when her sprits rushed through him.

"Don't worry about her! Worry about your mother! Your father!" said spirits.

"Arghh!" cried Batman, as he slumped on the floor.

"Bruce!" cried Wonder Woman as she got up and stab her sword toward her mother's spirit as Graves appeared and released spirits toward her.

"Ahh!" cried Wonder Woman

"Diana…" whispered Batman.

"This would be much worse… I could kill Batman and make you give up and join those people you deeply loved and missed most. Right there and now." stated Graves. "But we're going to destroy but we are going to destroy this temple and free these spirits first. We're going to bring much joy to so many. We'll reunite everyone with the dead."

"We'll give everyone their loved one back." added Graves. "Just like I've been given mine."

"We will make everyone happy like you, daddy." said Graves' daughter

"NO!" cried familiar voice.

-BLAM!—

A man with lots of injuries comes through the caves.

"STEVE!" cried Justice League.

"I'm not let you get away doing that!" cried Steve.

The Justice League spurt in action after they break free from their spirits.

"How dare you try to push them away!" cried Graves as he started to push Superman to the ground.

"They are not my parents I know!" shouted Superman.

"Steve? Are you ok?" cried Wonder Woman.

"Yes. I am."

Wonder Woman turn around and battles against Graves as her rages building up. Graves pushed Superman away and rushed toward Wonder Woman. He was about to attack her but two batarangs hit Graves' eyes.

"ARGH!" cried Graves.

"Cyborg! Green Lantern! You need to use your power toward them!" I read in the journal that those spirits hate white noise and bright lights! We need to exorcise things from Graves!" ordered Batman.

Cyborg and Green Lantern obey the orders and sent their powers toward Graves.

"Superman?" added Batman.

"Yeah?" answered Superman.

"Pour on some heat for good measure."

Superman's eyes turn to red as the temperature started to rise as Green Lantern and Cyborg do their things against Graves.

"Please. STOP!" cried Graves.

"That ice must be magic. My heat vision's not melting it." said Superman

"It might not melt." stated Batman. "Aquaman! Hit him with your trident and it will shatter!"

"On it!" cried Aquaman as he shovels his trident against Graves' back.

-Kkrrshhhh!—

"Those screams! Sound like children's! We should stop!" cried Green Lantern.

-Krk!-

"We can't stop, Lantern." said Batman. "Remember, they aren't his children."

-Krak!—

"That isn't his wife. We all need to believe that."

-Aaee! Aaee! Aaeee!—

"AAAHHHHH!" shouted Graves. "NO!"

Wonder Woman was about to final strike against Graves but the Graves' armor started to disappear and he returned to be old man he was before.

"Why?" whimpered old Graves. "OH GOD, WHY?"

The League stared at the old man who just looking at pool of his dead family. "Why did you take my family away from me again?" cried Graves "I miss them so muh-much! I'm so alone… Just kill me. Let me be with them."

"I… We can't." spoken Wonder Woman as Batman get close to Graves.

"Those things weren't your family." said Batman "But you already knew that, didn't you, Mr. Graves? Deep down, you already knew. You just want to convince yourself and the world otherwise."

TO BE CONTIUNED…
