Hey, People. This is the final episodes before the season one finally, which will only be the first part, with the alternate Batman, and the final part, with the Batman from my universe. But first, I want to lay out some background info that will continue the rest of this story.

Danny is thirteen throughout season one. In season two, he's fourteen, and when I move onto Justice League Unlimited he will be fifteen and sixteen. His costume may change as the years go by and I will inform you at the beginning of the chapter if it has. Then you can look it up on my tumblr page for what it looks like.

Lexie's name was never supposed to be Lexie, I will go back and change it when I have the time, but her name was supposed to be Riki Shaw, then my cousin, Lexie, died and I wanted to give her some part in the story that she had persuaded me to write. But, I realised that the name Lexie doesn't fit Batgirl's personality, and from now on, her name will be Riki. The same goes for Riki too, if her costume changes, I will inform you and put the idea on my tumblr page. She is eight in season one, nine in season two, eleven in JLU season one, and twelve in season two.

These are the sidekick OC names. And ages in season one, and heroes.

Batman – Bruce Wayne – 28

Wonder Woman – Diana Prince – 26

Superman – Clark Kent – 32

Kid Flash – Desmond Allen – 15

Supergirl – Sophie Kent – 12

Superboy – Owen Kent – 16

Miss Martian – M'gann Morrz – 12

Speedy – Jacob Hawke – 14

I know I've skipped quite a few episodes in this season, but I couldn't do them because I doubt Batman would let his only kids go off on a dangerous mission without him. And I can't write some of them. If you think you can do better, please, I'm begging you, send me something. I'll try it, I promise, but I really need your help, guys. This. Is. Hard.

Thank you, on with the story.

Justice: A Knight of Darkness

"Happy Halloween, Bruce!" Danny called from the top of the staircase, wearing the lower half of his Robin costume and a red t-shirt.

Bruce smiled at his teenaged son and said "you too, Bub."

Danny slid down the railing on his feet and kicked up at the last second, doing four summersaults sideways before landing on the balls of his feet with a grin.

"Shall you do the honours, or shall I? Because Riki's bedhead is the scariest thing you'll ever see today."

Bruce laughed. "I beg to differ, Daniel," he murmured, "Diana can be quite cranky of a morning and neglects to brush her hair before presenting herself."

Danny took the cup of coffee from the bench and downed it in one gulp. Weird things happened in Gotham on Halloween, he'd need to be on top of his game.

"So, when are you going to pop the question, Dad?" the teen genius said casually.

Bruce choked on his coffee. "What?" He exclaimed, "Why would you ask that?"

Danny pulled a black ring box from his pocket. "I found it on your dresser. It doesn't have a rock."

"It's not supposed to have a rock, and you should stop snooping." Bruce growled, snatching the box away, "it's made of the same metal in my armour, combined with diamond fibre, and a sliver of Amazonian metal. It will not break, no matter how hard she punches someone."

Danny grinned. "You going to get the Boy Scout to give her away? Or maybe Alfred?" He said.

Bruce rolled his eyes. "Riki is going to be Flower Girl, you can be the ring bearer," he said.

"And what part will you play?"

Bruce clapped him over the ear. "Shut up."

Danny grinned. "I'm going back to bed, call me when breakfast is ready."


The old man lay on the Gurney, his frail limbs twitching violently.

The Paramedic soothed the man with a gentle hand to his shoulder and loaded him into the ambulance.

Robin knew the old man wouldn't last the night.

He landed in a crouch on the building beside the museum, Batgirl beside him and Batman in front of him.

They dove through the skylight. Books lay open and discarded across the floor, Robin's cape brushed against on, causing the pages to turn. Batgirl pulled out a torch and Robin activated the night vision in his mask.

Batman spotted a book lying open with a page torn out.

"Curious," Robin murmured, scanning the book. Batman nodded.

"The Philosopher's Stone?" He murmured, picking the book up.

"According to Legend," said a man dressed in a tan coat and black slacks as he stepped into the Museum, Batgirl charged her gloves and Robin pulled one of his swords partially out of its scabbard strapped across his back.

"It was a gem on the hilt of Excalibur, and the true source of the sword's fabled power." The Man continued.

Batman turned to him fully and placed his hands on Batgirl and Robin's shoulders, telling them this man was a friend. "Hello, Jason" he said, "I assume you're not here to browse."

Jason glared lightly, "I'm a friend of the owner," he said.

"You mean that old man?" Batgirl blurted out.

Jason looked at Batman sadly. "He's thirty two years old, only three or four years older than you, Batman."

Their eyes widened.

"He's also an expert on Arthurian Lore." Jason continued.

Batman held up the book. "What's all this about?" He growled.

Jason frowned. "Morgana le Fay," he said, "when Camelot fell, Merlin was able to hide the Philosopher's Stone from her, now she's returned to track it down again."

"Impossible," Batman said.

"You, of all people, should know better." Jason said, looking up at Batman.

"If no one's going to ask, I will," Batgirl said, glaring at the three males in the room, "why does she want the Gem?"

Jason smiled down at Batgirl. "Fiery little one isn't she." He said, and then looked at Batman. "With it, she can resurrect Camelot, and place her son, Mordred, on the Throne."

Robin's eyebrow rose. "Okay," he said, "how close is she to finding it?"

Jason scowled. "Too close." He murmured.

Robin groaned. "Why can't the villains ever have trouble finding the magical super cool and world destroying technology after we find out they're looking for it?" He grumbled.

Batman smirked. "We'll help in any way we can, Jason." He said.

Jason nodded.

"We'll need to go to Merlin's Repository."

"Great," Batgirl mumbled, crossing her arms, "Another ridiculously long trip to some foreign country."


Batgirl and Robin stood off to the side as Batman and Jason opened the Repository. Jason leaned into the chest and ran his hand along the bottom. A glow emitted from where his hand was and he smiled. "She's been her, but she doesn't have the Stone," he said, relieved.

"How can you be sure?" Batman asked.

The door suddenly slammed closed, and they all turned.

Robin drew his swords and Batgirl charged her gloves.

The weapons hanging on the walls glowed and rose from their holders, then raced towards Jason and Batman.

Batman jumped out of the way, taking Jason with him. The weapons jutted into the stone.

Batman pulled a sword from a suit of armour, yelling "Jason, the door!"

Jason ran to the door and tried to open it with Batgirl's help while Batman and Robin fought off the possessed armoury.

"It's sealed shut!" Batgirl screamed.

The suits of armour came to life, and Robin dodged the swing of a heavy claymore by a hair's breadth. He swallowed and brought up his swords, crossed, and blocked the next swing just in time.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw two suits approaching Batgirl and Jason; the fear written across his sister's face was evident.

He raced over and tackled on knight, knocking it to the ground so the first knight's axe slammed into its back. He jumped onto the first knight's shoulders and threw it as hard as he could into one of the suits Batman was fighting.

Jason took up the suit's discarded axe and Robin handed Batgirl a short sword, winking at her, and then turned to the legion of suits approaching them. "Remind me to fill the suits of armour in the mansion with cement." He said.

Jason threw his axe at the caped suit, but it just pulled the axe out and tossed it to the ground.

"There are too many of them!" He cried.

The Caped Crusaders ran into the legion, ignoring Jason's warning.

Robin stabbed one in the abdomen and tore it in two, decapitated the second one, then slammed both swords into the shoulder of the third, but it didn't fall, only swung around and punched him in the jaw, sending him flying into one of the stone pillars.

Batgirl was being choked by another, and Batman had been thrown into a pillar as well, and neither of the Dynamic Duo had the strength to save the Gal Glory.

"Gone, Gone, the form of Man," Jason chanted, Robin raised his head just enough to look at the man, "rise the demon, Etrigan!"

Jason disappeared in a ball of fire, and in his place stood a demon, wearing a red leotard, and a blue cape.

Etrigan stormed towards the legion of suits, he snapped on in two like it was nothing and raised his hands. "Inferno!" He screamed. The Legion was engulfed in flames, turning them to dust. Batgirl fell to the ground, gasping for air.

Batman stood slowly, his head pounding.

The red caped suit tried to hit him with its axe, but he dodged at and Etrigan melted the suit to nothing.

Robin crawled over to Batgirl and checked her injuries, just a few scrapes and a cut and a cut on her knee, nothing serious.

Batman scooped her up and turned to the demon, Robin searching for his swords.

"Etrigan?" He said, "You could have warned us."

Etrigan stalked past them, kneeling in front of a smoking pile of ashes that had been one of the suits.

"That Witch will pay for this!" he roared, "I swear it!"

"If the Stone's as powerful as you say," Batgirl rasped, "We're going to need help."


Diana pecked Batman on the lips as she walked out of the Javelin. Batman returned her peck and saw Kid Flash talking to Batgirl, who was laughing at what he said. Robin and M'gann sat in companionable silence on a rock, they had been close friends ever since that Junior mission they had been sent on three months ago. But Batman knew Danny thought of M'gann as a sister, just like Batgirl.

Etrigan told his story to the League, and Flash commented with "and I thought Bats was creepy."

Etrigan stuck his face in Flash's and growled.

Robin stepped in before things got ugly.

"How has she eluded you for so long?" He asked.

Etrigan turned to him.

"The Witch has an amulet that can sense when I'm drawing near."

"With that stench, who needs an amulet," Flash mumbled. Etrigan grabbed Flash and lifted him into the air. "What!" He spat. Flash's eyes widened. "Nothing," he squeaked out. J'onn stepped in. "Perhaps you should consider another approach." He said.

Etrigan dropped Flash. "And what do you suggest?" He said.

"M'gann and I can try to locate her, telepathically." He said.


Robin, Batgirl and Kid Flash waited outside while Etrigan woke J'onn and M'gann.

"So, what's the deal with you and Supergirl, Rob?" Kid Flash asked.

Robin blushed at the mention of the female Kryptonian, who was only three years younger than him.

"Well, uh, um…" He mumbled, scratching the back of his head.

Batgirl grinned at him, "Robin and Supergirl, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" She sang.

Robin threw a pebble at her, which she swatted away like an insect. She made kissy faces and giggled.

"I hate you people," Robin muttered playfully.

"Kids, come' on." Batman called from the Javelin.

Robin leapt up and did a no armed cartwheel. "He should be ringing a bell when he does that." He said, grinning at Batman, who was glaring at the Boy Wonder, his lips twitching.


"We shouldn't be letting him go question Morse by himself," Robin stated, leaning against the tree from his perch on a high branch, he twirled a Batarang in his fingers mechanically, ready to throw it at a moment's notice.

Batman looked up at his thirteen year old son and said "you need to trust him; he's more uptight than Alfred in occasion."

Robin dropped down from his tree branch and folded his arms over his chest. "You lie." He whispers. "Alfred hears all, and knows all. He knows whether I've put a Batarang in the armoury back upside down. He's more terrifying than you."

Batman shoved him. "Don't be a fool." He says.

Robin shoves him back with a grin and Batman tackles the Boy Wonder, scooping the small teen up and restraining him playfully. Robin twists free and wraps his arms around Batman's neck. They stand like that for a few moments before Batman sits down and pulls Robin onto his lap, wrapping his strong arms around the boy's thin waist.

J'onn and M'gann watch the Dynamic Duo from a few metres away. It was becoming rarer and rarer that Batman and Robin would act like this. According to the memories Superman had shown them, Batman and Robin could be found after a long night of fighting crime atop a tall building, huddled under Batman's cape, talking.

"What will happen once Robin leaves Batman, Uncle?" M'gann asked. She couldn't imagine the Justice League being the same without Robin's quick wit and sarcasm, or the Caped Crusaders' constant bickering.

"Though I possess many powers, M'gann," J'onn murmured, his voice soft, "I do not possess the power of prophecy. But if Batman and Robin were to become enemies, then I doubt the world would be safe from their battle."


Robin checked Morse's pulse and listened to his breathing. He let out a breath he didn't realise he'd been holding when he realised the old man was fine.

"You're lucky, Etrigan," He murmured, "He's in shock. If he had died, your head would have rolled."

His voice was like ice when he said this, and it sent chills up M'gann's spine.

Etrigan eyed Robin's swords. "These pathetic blades would not be worthy for a squire to bear, child."

M'gann knelt beside Robin and placed her fingertips on Morse's head. She read his mind, but couldn't find anything about the Philosopher's Stone.

"He has no knowledge of the Stone," she told them, "the relic is not here."

Etrigan lashed out and smashed the lamp sitting on Morse's desk. "Blast!" He roared. "But if Morse doesn't have it, then maybe Hitman does."

Robin nodded. "Batgirl would have contacted us if they had the Stone, and had it in their possession. If Hitman doesn't have it, then le Fay does." He said darkly, leaning against the wall, his arms folded over his chest.

Batman turned on his comm. "Batgirl, come in." He said.

A moment later, Batgirl's soft voice filtered through the comm.

"Batman? Do you have the Stone?" She asked, there was loud music thumping in the background.

"No," Batman replied. "Where are the Flashes and Diana?"

Batgirl was silent for a moment. "Hitman is holding a…interesting party at his mansion; his Bouncer took one look at me and told me I wasn't old enough to go in. It's a costume party, and there are about a thousand Justice Leaguers. And might I say, you look excellent overweight."

Robin snorted and M'gann giggled. Etrigan and J'onn weren't amused.

"Do you know if they have the Stone?" Batman asked.

"I don't think so, nothing has exploded," she murmured, "but they haven't contacted me yet."

Batman scowled. "Comm us when you have the Stone, we'll be here staking out le Fay."


Robin crouched beside Batman in the bell tower, the lenses in his mask magnified to one-twenty zoom. He could see Morse sitting by the fire in his wing back chair. He looked like a really old version of Bruce, and Robin could imagine Bruce sitting in his chair, giving the future Bat-Family instructions as he watched over Gotham with a laptop connected to every security camera in the city.

"Le Fay may not know Morse doesn't have the Stone," He said with some optimism, "if she comes, we'll be waiting."

Etrigan growled, "I still don't trust those Martians." He said. "They're damaged goods."

Batman glared. "I'd trust J'onn and M'gann with my life." He said. Robin nodded, "so would I."

"I'll send flowers," Etrigan smirked.

Robin groaned. "Stop with the wise-cracks, that's my job." He said

They turned their attention back to Morse.


Le Fay and Mordred appeared in a flash of light and black smoke; leapt to his feet and stared at the witch and her son, who were approaching him slowly. "Forgive the intrusion, Professor." She smiled, "But I think you have something I want."

Morse glared, "and what might that be?" He said.

Le Fay tilted her head to one said, "I believe we've met before," she said.

Morse's eyes widened. "Have we?" He rasped. "I never forget a face," le Fay raised her hand and pointed it at Morse. Golden light built up and she shot it at Morse.

Morse groaned as he was hit by it. His shape wavered and he became J'onn, who collapsed in a heap on the floor.

Etrigan burst through the window, followed by Batman and Robin. Le Fay raised her hands and shot light at them. Batman pulled Robin out of the way and Etrigan blasted her with Inferno "Still so bitter, my love?" Le Fay called; she blocked his inferno and blasted him with light, blasting him through the wall. Batman pulled out a Batarang and threw it, she blocked it and Etrigan got to his feet. M'gann helped her Uncle stand and looked at him. Robin looked at the older Martian and could see he was hallucinating again.

"Myria?" He whispered, reaching out into thin air. "J'onn, snap out of it!" Batman yelled. Le Fay held up her hand and blasted the Dark Knight, knocking him into Etrigan and throwing them outside. Robin glared and pulled his swords from their scabbards on his back and ran at her, dodging blasts of light until there was just a foot between them.

Le Fay looked at him with her blank eyes. "You are…special," She said, "What is your family name?"

Robin sneered. "Wilde." He replied, this witch was going to die tonight, so what did it matter she knew his last name.

Le Fay took a step back, as if in shock. "You bear a great Prophecy on your shoulders, child," she said urgently, gripping his shoulders. "The choices you make in your seventeenth year will be the most important you ever will. They will shape history. When the one called Darkseid comes to the city you call Metropolis, your decision upon the Great Earth will decided whether those you love will live or die."

Robin's eyes widened. Darkseid was Superman's Arch Enemy, a New God, why would a mortal like him fight a man who likened himself to a God, and had the power to claim it.

Le Fay blasted him and he crashed onto Batman's back. Darkness claimed him before he could continue to think about it.

Etrigan leapt to his feet as le Fay and Mordred got away. "No!" He yelled, then turned to J'onn, who was standing so still and quiet in the centre of the Study, and punched him. "I knew it," He roared, gripping J'onn's neck, "that Harpy still has her claws in you! You betrayed us!"

Batman grabbed Etrigan's hand weakly, "no…leave him alone…" he swayed on his feet and groaned as he legs gave way under him.

Etrigan let J'onn go. "Batman," he said, and then saw Robin was still unconscious, but M'gann was looking after him. He knelt down beside the Dark Knight and checked his pulse and breathing. He sounded exhausted. And if he was awake, he would most likely want a lot of coffee.

Etrigan growled. "Admit it, Martian, you let her get away."


Robin awoke with a sharp pain shooting through his head and chest, realising they were injuries, and he could be in a hostile environment, he closed his eyes and relaxed, taking stock of his injuries.

He had at least three cracked ribs, four bruised, but none broken. There was a cut on the back of his head that had been stitched. His shoulder was bruised, and he didn't have the top half of his costume on. But his mask was still in place.

"…When the one called Darkseid comes to the city you call Metropolis, your decision upon the Great Earth will decided whether those you love will live or die..." He swallowed as le Fay's voice echoed in his mind, what kind of Decision would he make? What if Bruce and Riki died? Darkseid, according to the files in the Batcomputer, was very powerful; he'd die if he fought the Ruler of Apokolips. Would he gain powers in the next four years? That would be the only way he would be able to defeat Darkseid.

"I won't tell," M'gann's voice filled his mind, "we'll work it out together."

Robin smiled at the Martian, "thanks," he murmured.

He stood and M'gann handed him his tunic. He pulled it on wincing as he strained his ribs, and looked around to see Batman still unconscious.

"How is he?" He asked, jerking his head at Batman.

J'onn probed the Boy Wonder's chest with careful fingers, searching for any more unnoticed injuries.

"You were worse off, but he hit his head pretty hard," M'gann murmured, "but he should be awake soon."

As if in cue, the Dark Knight groaned and tried to sit up.

"Ly still," J'onn warned, "you have a concussion and two cracked ribs."

Batman shot his a glare. "I've survived worse." He growled, swinging his legs off the bed.

"I am truly sorry," J'onn murmured, averting his gaze.

Batman clutched his side, the pain meds beginning to fade. "Why?" He groaned.

"I hesitated in battle, and it nearly cost you and Robin your lives," the Martian said, "perhaps Etrigan is right, perhaps I have been tainted by that Sorceress. I know what I experienced was a mere illusion, but it felt so real! The urge to embrace it was almost more than I could bear!"

Batman raised an eyebrow at him.

"Sometimes I believe I would do anything to see my loved ones again." J'onn croaked, "You can't imagine how that feels."

Batman nodded. "The important thing is le Fay hasn't got the stone," he said, looking at Robin. "She doesn't, does she?"

Robin shook his head, "I don't think so, or Batgirl would have radioed us by now."

Batman took the top half of his costume from J'onn and pulled it on over his head.


Robin typed in the thirty number long passcode for the vault and stepped in; he set the Stone on a small pedestal and typed in a completely different thirty number code. A cylinder of unbreakable diamond and cleat titanium carbon fibre weave slid down and encased the pedestal. He stepped out and typed in another thirty number code. Red laser beams criss-crossed the room and he closed the door with a fifth thirty letter code.

"Unless she can go through walls and crack my codes, she'll never get the Stone." He said, "And I'd like to see her try!"

Etrigan growled. "Be careful what you wish for." He hissed.

Kid Flash glared. "Well aren't you a ray of sunshine," he said, "as far as I'm concerned, the world is safe again, and I for one am going to kick back and relax. So go find some other house to haunt!"

He stalked off and Diana put a hand on Etrigan's shoulder. "He didn't mean that." She said.

Etrigan growled at her. "Does it look like I care?"

He walked away, leaving the Bat-family alone.

Batman hugged Diana around the waist and she buried her face into the crook of his neck. "I'm sorry," he murmured.

"For what?" Diana asked, looking up at him.

"For getting hurt, I know you hate that."

Diana kissed him gently. "I forget you're accident-prone, Bruce," she grinned, and he stared at her. "Excuse me?" He cried, "Accident-prone? Me? I am not!"

Diana kissed him again. "Alright, whatever helps you sleep at night." She smirked.

Batman turned to his much-too-innocent-looking partners, who were staring at him with big, adorable eyes.

"You two are not allowed to talk to Diana. I don't need four sarcastic people in my house."


Etrigan crouched on the side of the Observation deck, huddled under his cape, watching Diana as she carried a crate of parts for the new holo-tech systems Robin was putting into the Watchtower.

"Kid Flash is right," she said to Batman, "there's something unsettling about your friend. It's like when he looks at me, he can see into my very soul."

Batman clasped her hand. "True," he agreed, "but I'd rather have him with us than against us."

The lights flickered ominously, and Robin scrambled out of the Watchtower Maintenance Bay, covered in grease, and pulled a sword from its scabbard.

"We are not alone," Etrigan said.

They all turned and saw horrible creatures approaching them.

Kid Flash sped in, Batgirl on his back.

"Hey, who turned out the lights?" Flash asked, running in after his partner.

Batgirl got off Kid Flash's back and charged her gloves.

"What are those things?" she said.

Etrigan blasted them with fire. "Does it matter? Fight them!" He roared.

Robin raced into the creatures, cutting them down where he could.

Batgirl followed him, throwing electricity at the ones he missed.

Kid Flash and Flash spun fast to make tornadoes, Batman threw Batarangs, and Diana punched them down.

Robin pulled his sword from one of the monsters' skulls and saw there was no blood. "They're not alive! They don't bleed!" He decapitated the next one he saw and saw Batgirl turn up the charge on her gloves from stun to kill.

"KF!" He called, "catch!" He tossed a sword at the yellow and red tornado. KF stopped spinning and caught it. "Thanks, dude!" He yelled, stabbing the closest monster.

Eventually, they were gone and Batgirl leaned against Kid Flash, who smiled at her and put an arm on her shoulders.

"Here, Rob," the speedster said, tossing the sword to his best friend. Robin caught it and slid it back into the scabbard on his back.

"Has anyone seen M'gann or J'onn?" Diana asked, checking a cut on Batman's cheek.

Robin pressed a finger to his ear. "M'gann? Come in. M'gann, are you okay?" all he got was static. He looked at the ceiling and said "PASLEY, find M'gann."

The computer AI, PASLEY, bleeped. "Yes, Robin." She said.

A map of the Watchtower came up and a little flashing red M appeared on the third floor.

Robin and Kid Flash bolted out of the room, Robin using his hover board and Kid Flash running.

They found M'gann broken and bloodied on the floor.

Robin scooped her up, wary of her injuries, and carried her to the infirmary, where he laid her on a bed and used the x-ray lenses in his mask to assess her injuries.

She had four broken bones, a crack to her frontal bone, but nothing fatal, but thankfully no internal bleeding, so he wouldn't have to perform surgery on his friend.

"Has anyone seen J'onn?" He asked over the Comm.

Flash chimed in first. "The Vault's been broken into. The Stone is gone, Robin. J'onn took it…there's blood all over the floor."

Robin gripped the bed railing so tight that it bent, and he saw red.

"Batgirl?" He murmured, "You're staying here. M'gann needs medical attention. And apart from me, you're the only one who knows about Martian biology."

"Robin!" She yelled through the comm.

Robin hissed. "I'm serious, Rachel! This is too dangerous for you! It's either the Watchtower or home, got it?"

Batgirl growled. "You are not Batman, Robin. You can't tell me what to do, you may be older, but you're not more mature or any less scared than all of us. I'm going with you to beat the crap out of le Fay for making J'onn hurt M'gann."

Robin swallowed back a lump in his throat. Today was just too stressful. "The Javelin 12 leaves in ten minutes, that's how long it will take me to set M'gann's bones. Anyone who's not on the ship will be left behind. Got it?"

Everyone agreed, and Robin set to work fixing his friend.


"You pathetic excuse for heroes!" Etrigan roared, "You let the Martian get away! With the stone!"

Batgirl stepped forward. "It wasn't our fault, you fat ugly bast-AH!" Etrigan back handed her and she was thrown into Diana's chest. Diana caught her and held her in her arms. She looked to Batman and held her out to the Dark Knight, but Batman shook his head. "You can carry her," he said, then turned and punched Etrigan.

"The truth hurts, doesn't it, Knight." The demon growled.

Diana tried to contact J'onn, and Kid Flash ran in. "Javelin 7 is gone, and PASLEY won't let us into the hanger because the doors are still open."

"Where's Robin?" Batman asked.

"He's still setting M'gann's ribs. But he said that he won't be able to override PASLEY in time."

Batman nodded. "Get a lock on the Javelin. I have an Idea."


Batgirl leapt through the portal Etrigan had opened and tackled J'onn.

She grabbed the stone and threw it at Robin, who caught it and tossed it to Kid Flash.

"Get it out of here!" Etrigan yelled.

Kid Flash nodded, when Mordred blasted him.

"What foul magic is this!" the Prince yelled, "he is a speedster! Yet he does not possess the powers of other warlocks!"

Le Fay nodded. "These are heroes, my son, like your half uncle, King Arthur."

Etrigan threw J'onn against the wall as Kid Flash threw the stone to Robin, who tucked it under his arm as he raced towards the Javelin.

Le Fey blasted him and he was knocked to the ground.

Mordred grabbed the stone and tried to get it to le Fey when Batgirl took it and tossed it to Batman.

Batman gave it to Diana, who was about to fly away when le Fey blasted her.

She dropped the stone, and it smashed.

"No!" Mordred screamed.

Robin groaned and collapsed, his injuries taking their toll, Kid Flash collapsed beside him, followed by Batgirl.

Batman hauled J'onn to his feet. "We don't blame you," he murmured so the others couldn't hear. "I've been in your position before. I would do anything to bring my family back."

J'onn nodded.

"Is M'gann okay?" He questioned, "I remember her trying to stop me, but the rest is a blank."

Diana placed a hand on the Martian's shoulder. "She was badly hurt, but Robin set her bones and gave her a Martian-safe sedative. She should be awake by early morning."

Flash ran over carrying a sleeping Kid Flash.

"Batgirl and Robin are conked out, exhausted. I think this Halloween took a lot out of them."

Batman smiled fondly as he looked over at his children.

"I'll take Robin, okay?" he told Diana. "You and Batgirl can have a bonding moment."


Bruce and Diana carried the still sleeping Danny and Riki upstairs to the manor. They tucked them both in and met in their bedroom.

Bruce pulled on a pair of loos pyjama bottoms and ran his fingers through his ebony hair, messing it up.

Diana slipped into one of his t-shirts. It had the Bat-Logo on the chest and was made of soft cotton.

Bruce smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist. "You mind if I ask you something, Diana?"

Diana kissed his jaw, "okay." She murmured.

Bruce pushed her away and reached into his dresser. He pulled out the ring box, turned to Diana, knelt down on one knee, opened the box, and said. "Diana, I love you. Will you…uh…will you…" he blushed and swallowed. "Will you, Diana, Princess of the Amazons, marry me?"

Diana's eyes filled with tears and she nodded; her throat too tight to speak.

Bruce grinned and let out a breathless laugh as he slipped the ring on her finger.

Now, he had to tell his overly sarcastic children the news.

Hey, he popped the question, on Halloween. Isn't that so Batman, now, I'm going to take a break and do up a few chapters, then I'll put them up when I feel like it. Or you beg me to. If you want me to put Danny and Riki's reactions to the news in the next chapter, tell me. Also, if any of you can write a better version of Injustice for All or Fury, I'll give you your own OC sidekick in Justice Unlimited.

Thank You,

Mystery Penman
