The Forgotten Daughter

Iliana tried to sit up but was having a hard time.

"Oh let me help you" said the young boy.

"Your Dick" she reasoned.

"Yeah, how did you know that." he asked.

"I could hear you, I wondered what you looked like." she said.

"It's great to finally be able to hear what you sound like." he laughed smiling from ear to ear.

"Iliana" Bruce said sitting down on the bed where J'onn had been earlier.

"Bruce" she questioned.

"Yes" He answered. Iliana suddenly hugged him.

"Thank you" she whispered.

"For what" he asked.

"Everything" whispered Iliana letting go of him.

"I'm so glad you're alright Iliana, we're all glad you're alright." Bruce rambled brushing some of Iliana's light brown hair out of her face.

"It's great to actually be able to talk to you, can I have something to drink." she rasped.

"Sure, Alfred!" Dick yelled. A minute later Alfred walked in.

"Yes master Dick, Oh My!" he cried when he saw Iliana sitting up, awake.

"Hi, Alfred" Iliana said cheerfully.

"Hello" Alfred said awestruck. He turned to Bruce for an explanation.

"I called J'onn and he woke up Iliana." He explained.

"It's nice to finally meet you Alfred." Iliana said.

"Alfred can you get Iliana a glass of water." asked Bruce.

"Right away sir" Alfred replied hurrying out of the room.

"So you heard everything?" Dick asked.

"Yes" Iliana Laughed.

"Great" Dick laughed nervously.

"Can I get up?" Iliana asked.

"Are you sure you're up to it." Bruce asked concerned.

"Yes" she answered hesitantly.

"Okay" Bruce said standing up. Iliana slowly slid her legs off the bed and tried to stand up. But she lost her balance and fell back onto the bed, but Iliana wasn't giving up. Iliana stood up again this time holding onto the nightstand next to the bed for support. She took a step forward and fell forward. With lighting quick reflexes Bruce caught her before she hit the floor.

"Don't worry I got you." he said picking her back up and setting her back on the bed.

"You alright" questioned Dick.

"Yeah, I guess its been awhile since I walked." she reasoned.

"Yeah you were in that coma for like five months." he agreed.

"Five months!" she cried.

"It probably didn't seem that long." said J'onn, they all turned to him forgetting he was there.

"What's the date" Iliana asked frantic.

"It's February 20,2011"said Bruce. Iliana looked alarmed.

"What was the date last you were awake." Dick questioned. Iliana had to think for a minute before she answered.

"It was September 29, 2010" she replied sighing."I can't believe it I've lost five months of my life. Do you know how long that is in kid years." she cried.

Alfred stepped into the room and strode over to Iliana. He handed her a large glass of water, which she quickly drank.

"Um refreshing, thank you Alfred." she said.

"You are welcome miss Iliana." He stated.

"Just call me Iliana no miss." she said setting the glass on the nightstand.

"I want to go outside."she said abruptly.

"I don't think that is a wise Idea." imputed Alfred.

"I want to go outside. I've been cooped up in rooms for the past five months, I want to see the sun." she huffed.

"Alright you can go outside. Do you want me to carry you out there." Bruce asked.

Iliana looked down at her thin sickly pale legs and back up at Bruce."Sure" she said not sounding to happy. Bruce lifted Iliana into his arms and they all walked out of Iliana's room.

Iliana gawked at all the amazing things outside her room. She had never seen so many beautiful things in her entire life. The priceless statues and painting were like something from a dream. But After walking for what seemed like an eternity. They came to a door that lead to a patio in the backyard.

Iliana squinted not use to the bright sunlight. After a while her eyes adjusted to the sunlight.

"Can you set me in the grass over there?" she asked Bruce, pointing to an area filled with flowers.

"Sure"he replied. Bruce walked off the patio with Iliana still in his arms and set her on the soft grass.

Iliana looked around at all the pretty things,the large oak trees and the pretty flowers. A small gray bunny came up to her and laid down in the flower next to her. Iliana picked it up and it wrinkled its nose.

"Hello, Cutie" she cooed hugging the small furry animal. Bruce left Iliana alone with her new friend and went up to the patio where Dick,Alfred, and J'onn were.

"She looks so happy" Dick said stating the obvious.

"Yeah" Bruce said smiling as Iliana picked a daffodil and put it behind her ear.

"I must be getting back to the watchtower" sated J'onn.

"Well thank you for everything J'onn, I mean it I owe you one." Bruce said.

"I was happy to help, and I hope to see you at the watchtower sometime soon." He told Bruce. J'onn flew upward and disappeared into the clouds.

"Should I call the news reporters." Alfred inquired.

"What do you mean Alfred" Dick asked confused.

"Well Iliana is awake, people will want to know this. They'll want to know how she woke up and what you're going to do with her now that she's awake." Alfred clarified.

"What are we going to do with her Bruce" Dick asked.

"Its Iliana's decision, but if she would like it I'd like to legally adopt her as my daughter." Bruce answered, turning his head to see Iliana making a crown of Flowers for her new furry friend.
