Ann's P_O_V

the tears flowed freely down my cheeks and my eyes were puffy. and I can't breath, it felt as if my airway was blocked. I hugged the picture tighter and curled into an even smaller ball beneath the blanket. the lights were all out and all I could hear were the sound of my sobs. I was clutching two pictures to my chest, one from my wedding day where Conner and I are dancing, and one from the day Jace was born. I wish I could hold Conner's sword, and read the words that I still know by heart. but his sword had disappeared from the cave the day Jace was born, along with Conner's knifes. not all I had of my love was my ring, pictures, and some items that hurt to look at because of the memories they cause me to remember. I now I said I was ready to move on, but I can't forget the man I loved, for I still love him.

I could feel someone moving and I knew from the sound of their footsteps that it was my brother and father. this was confirmed when my dad removed the blanket and pulled me into his arms, I might be 21 but I'm still my daddy's little girl. my head rested between his shoulder and neck, and I breathed in his scent as I clung to him. Dick rubbed my back and soon I was calm and the tears were gone, but I still clung to my father.

"why did this have to happen? first I lost Conner and now my BABY." I yelled the last word and then the tears were flowing once again. I had lost Conner five years ago, and now my baby was taken from me almost seven days ago.

"I don't now angel, but we are having a meeting to talk about how to continue the search." Dick said, and I knew that he was in pain over Jay's disappearance as well, for he only called me Angel when he was feeling some strong emotions. "it's just going to be the family, the entire family."

by 'family' he meant the people that had meant the most to Conner, and that we had always considered our true family, not just coworkers or companions. our family consisted of the following.

Johnathan and Martha Kent (A/N I'm making it so they are both alive), who were Conner's Grandparents. they had become like my own grandparents, and I had found out that they actually considered my dad their son. they had helped me so much when it came to raising Jason, and getting coming to terms with Conner's death. we often had family meetings at their farm house once a month when the entire family would get together.

Clark and Lois, who were Conner's parents. and then of course Alfred and my own dad. he had gotten married to Selena Kyle about three years ago, and she had been killed last year. I had once thought that he would marry Dianna/Wonder Woman, but they became best friends and are now brother and sister. Wonder Woman is also a member of the family, she had fallen in love with a human, and he had died a little before they had been supposed to be married. but he had made her pregnant and she was now the proud mother of a little two year old little boy that she had named 'Conner J. Prince', but we all called him CJ because it hurt us all to remember his name sake.

we then have Dinah/BC and Ollie/Green Arrow, who had married three years ago. they had found out that Dinah couldn't have children, so they make do with treating the pack, and the new team like their own kids. and Berry and Iris, who were Wally's aunt and uncle, and Berry is Flash. and then there's the Pack. Me, Dick, Kaldur, Arty, Wally, and Jay. in all, there are 19 people in our family, and if Conner was here there would be 20.

"come on" Dad said, and then he picked me right up into his arms. "we don't want to keep the family waiting."

he carried me out of my house and back to Mount Justice. like always he had locked it down so no one would be able to interfere with out Reunion. but this time I wished someone would interfere, I wished that my baby would be back, and that Conner was still alive and that I was being held in his arms, not my fathers.

even as I thought this we entered the room where our family was waiting, and before anyone could talk the computer started beeping.

"incoming call from un-known ship...incoming call from un-known ship...incoming call from un-known ship." the computer starting repeating. and my father put me down and looked at the computer, soon answering the call.

"this is Batman, what is the problem?"

"HELP!" a young voice shouted through the computer, and almost instantly everyone was gathered around the computer. "we need you to open the landing bay, NOW." and just like that the computer was once again silent. we all looked at each other and then we were all running towards the landing bay. we arrived just as the ship's door began to open.


Conner's P_O_V

I'm finally home!

we had picked up Raven, Shade and Jet two days ago. and the four kids had instantly loved each other and been brothers and a sister. Jay and I had talked and discovered that they had been away from earth for a week now, and I knew that Ann and Dick would be worried sick. but it didn't matter any more, because we were back. we had just entered earth's atmosphere and were now on our way to Mount Justice (under a cloud of course). we were all in the pilot room, and I was about to call the cave and ask for entrance when Jace started jumping up an down excitedly.

"Daddy, can we make a big entrance? plleeeaaaassssseeeeee." he asked drawing out the 'please' for ages. and soon the other three were nodding their heads and pleading along with him.

"what do you have in mind?" I asked, knowing better than to just agree.

"we would each go down one at a time, singing." he said excitedly. "can we do it daddy?" then all then asked together, and looking at Jay I saw her nod her head in approval.

"I guess we're making an entrance." I said, and they all cheered, even Jay. but I had a feeling I would like how it turned out. and so we set to planning our entrance. starting with Raven calling the cave.


Ann's P_O_V

as the door opened we all heard singing.

6 A.M and Bobby's wakin' up
Rolls outta bed with sleepy eyes
Goes to his sister's room across the hall
"Hey Daisy rise and shine"
He pours two bowls full of Captain Crunch
Puts a fresh pot of coffee on
He wakes his momma up off the couch
"The bus is here, we love you mom"

He made the breakfast
He did the dishes
So she wouldn't have to

a little girl appeared from the ship, and started walking down as she sang this song. she looked to be about seven or eight, and had bright pink hair and I could see her purple eyes. she looked around at all of us, but her eyes stopped when she came to me. she walked towards me and stopped right in front of me, a smile on her face as she continued to sing.

Oh he's only ten
Just comin' of age he oughta be out playin' ball
And video games
Climbin' trees
Or on a bike
just ridin' around
But it's hard to be a kid
When you're the man of the house

It's late at night and Larry King is on
Momma's up on the couch again
Bobby hears them all talk about
That awful war his daddy's in
So he runs off, straight up to his room
Don't want his momma to see him right now
He climbs in bed and says a silent prayer
Then he cries his little blue eyes out
Don't wanna let her down

two more kids appeared at the door of the ship and began walking down. they were twin boys and they looked to be about seven. they both have black hair, and it looked like they had green eyes. like the girl, they looked at everyone before walking to me and standing beside the girl, all three of them singing.

Oh he's only ten
Just comin' of age he oughta be out playin' ball
And video games
Climbin' trees
Or on a bike
just ridin' around
But it's hard to be a kid
When you're the man of the house

the three kids stop singing and another voice begins, this time a voice that we all know. standing at the door of the ship is Jay, and she was now singing.

It's finally Saturday
Bobby gets a phone call
Another world away from home
He says, "I love you dad"
Daddy says

Jay stopped there and runs from the ship to jump into Dicks arms, before turning and looking towards the door. I heard a voice that I had been dreaming of for the past five years. my heart soured as I prayed that this wasn't a dream, I had to force myself to slowly turned around, and there he was. he was still standing at the door, his voice as beautiful as ever. Jace was at his side, but quickly ran down and jumped into my fathers arms, seeming to know that I wouldn't be able to hold him at the moment. I had eyes only for the man still standing at the door. his black hair was cut just as he liked it, and his blue eyes shined with love as our eyes met. he started singing another song, this time one I knew, and as he sang he slowly began walking towards me.

With blue sea eyes, she polled me in

with red full lips, she sang to my soul

with that long blond hair, I fell in love

with my angel

she pulled me in

she sang to my soul

I fell in love

with a golden girl.

eyes so blue, lips so red

hair of the purest gold

and it all belonged

to a golden girl

She told me a secret of the highest trust

she taught me what it truly meant to love

she took my heart and made it love again

she made me see I had a life worth living

a life worth living.

she pulled me in

she sang to my soul

I fell in love

with a golden girl.

eyes so blue, lips so red

hair of the purest gold

and it all belonged

to a golden girl

he had now reached me, and we were looking into each others eyes. every one behind us were silent as they watched us. I felt Conner's voice sooth me, and I felt the whole in my heart mend as I felt his arms go around me. but he didn't stop singing, he finished the song.

I said 'Marry me' we both said 'I do'

now she's my wife and I'll never let go

of those sea blue eyes, those ruby lips

that long full hair of the purest gold

no I'll never let go of my golden girl

no I'll never let go of my golden girl.

she pulled me in

she sang to my soul

I fell in love

with a golden girl.

eyes so blue, lips so red

hair of the purest gold

and it all belonged

to a golden girl

as he finished singing, his face moved closer to mine, and tangling my hands in his hair, I pulled his lips the rest of the way to my own. the kiss was passionate and long, as we tried to show how much we still loved each-other after five years of being separate. when I first saw him I feared it wasn't him, but I knew from this kiss that it was my Conner. the man I had fallen in love with, the father of my son - or children as it was clear that the twins and the girl are adopted by the way they looked at him and me - and the man that still owned my heart.

all around the kissing couple, everyone was thinking the exact same thing.

"OUR FAMILY IS FINALLY WHOLE ONCE MORE"
