November 14
Mount Justice

Robin and I were sitting in the cave listening to the various stories from our team mates, M'gann is making cookies, Wally is waiting anxiously for the cookies to come out of the oven, Conner is sitting with wolf, Zatanna is petting wolf, Kaldur is explaining what he and Aquaman did to defeat the ice fortress, and Artemis is sitting on the couch smirking at Robin and I. I look up at the Leaguers, to see what they are doing, and Batman motions to us to go to where he is standing, I poke Robin to tell him, but he's already over with Batman.

"Hello!" I say happily once I am standing with Batman and Robin.

"What did your aunt say Annika?" Batman asks in a hushed tone.

"She said yes! Isn't that exciting?" I ask slightly louder, receiving a slight Bat glare, but not enough to make me pee myself (Like it's done to some leaguers, that I won't name…Superman).

"Very, but may I recommend something? Try leaving out the fact the you are foster siblings" Batman says.

"And maybe we should only act like- uh- that, when we are ourselves?" Robin says blushing.

"Yes, when you are here, you aren't dating, you are team mates." Batman says straight out, making both Robin and I blush.

"Wait a minute, do I have to wear dark glasses?" I ask "Cause that would be redundant, I mean there aren't many Annikas around Gotham." I say.

"You're right concealing your identity to the team would be useless, but its smart, then no one would expect that you are a part of my team." Batman says.

"And that's a good thing because?" I ask glaring.

"It would still save mine and Robin's identities." Batman says.

"So I'm a lost cause?!" I ask angrily.

"No Annika, you'd just help conceal Batman's and my secret identity by keeping yours open, it's kinda confusing." Robin says smiling.

"Fine." I say walking away.

"Annika, it's not just that, we have your first mission in Gotham." Robin says to me.

"REALLY?!" I ask, my eyes widening.
"Yup, let's go!" robin yells as we all walk through the Zeta tubes.

We arrive at the Batcave and I walk to the giant computer, which I now know is called the Batcomputer, wow creative.

"I got a call from an anonymous tip that the Joker is planning to rob the bank on Fourth Street. I figure we can stop him before he can even use Joker Venom on the guards." Batman says while typing.

"Ok!" I say smiling "Let's go the car- wait isn't it called the Batmobile?" I ask.

"Yea, to the Batmobile!" Robin yells in a cliché voice. I run to the Batmobile and sit in the back, since the front is already occupied. We drive to the bank and see a man in a trench coat walking toward it. He whips off the trench coat and reveals his face, The Joker. He smiles and waves the Batmobile over to his position. We get out and stand in front of the maniac.

"Well hey there, Bats, Bird Boy," The Joker says "Oh, and who's this?!" Joker asks pointing at me.

"Sparrow." I say without an ounce of emotion.

"Ooh, so Bats got a girlie." Joker says. "Cute" I glare at him. "Oh come on! You can do better than that! Just do what Batsy does, practice in a mirror." Joker says to me laughing hysterically.

"What's your plan Joker?" Batman asks.

"Me? A plan? I figured you'd know me better Batty." Joker says with a hurt expression.

"We know you just fine," Robin says "But I bet the guards at Arkham don't, you should go visit them."

"Ooh, sassy." Joker says, and suddenly starts running into the bank. He takes a Joker bomb from a bag that I didn't notice until now.

"Can you hold this?" he asks a bank teller, handing the bomb to her. The teller looks horrified as the bomb is placed on her desk.

"Uh, Robin? You know how to defuse a bomb right?" I ask the boy wonder.

"Yep! Be right over!" Robin says backflipping to my position.

"Show off." I say smirking as he defuses the bomb. I fight off a few goons and send all the citizens outside.

"So what? Do we just do grunt work?" I ask Robin.

"Pretty much yeah, but remember, no one gets any gratitude for taking out thugs. Only the boss." He says, I smirk as Batman finishes of the Joker and ties him up.

"Let's go kids." Bruce says walking towards the Bat-mobile.

"SHOTGUN!" I yell happily and jump not the passengers seat.

Once we get back to the mansion I am sent up to my room to clean, and of course Dick comes with me.

"You know what we should do?" I ask smiling.

"Hmm?" He asks me not paying attention.

"Let's get married!" I yell sarcastically. That seems to grab his attention.

"What?!" He asks me wide eyed. As I simply smile in response.

"Just making sure you were paying attention. What we should actually do is make a video for us to watch with our children, like a video to them!" I say happily.

"Like make a video of ourselves to show our children? Cool, so who is gonna go first, unless," Dick starts raising an eyebrow, "We make it together?" He finishes smirking, receiving an Artemis style smack upside the head from me.

"OUCH! Fine you go first." Dick says sulking.

"Awh come on Dickiebird, have a little fun." I say smirking and nudging him in the shoulder until he smiles.

"Alright I'll get my camcorder and I'll meet you in your room." He says and runs off to his bedroom. I clean up quickly before Dick comes in and sits on my bed. He takes he camcorder and puts it on my bookshelf.

"So Annika what would you like to say to our-" he starts, and gets elbowed in the stomach. "OUCH! Your children?" He asks smiling

"Uh that I love them, no matter who they turn out to be, I love them, and if I'm ever angry with you guys, just show me this video and you'll probably get me to cry. Brownie points!" I say laughing.

"And to our kids: Annika has a soft spot for tears, so try that, also try singing to her, it's a great was of getting out of trouble, I'd know.." Dick says and points the camera at himself.

"Ugh shush Dick, you can go next, stop interrupting my chat with my kids." I say smirking at him.

"Also your mother LOVES her best friend Dick Grayson, who may or may not be your father!" Dick yells to the camera microphone. I pick up a pillow and throw it at him, and the camera.

"Quiet down Grayson. But he's right, I love him soooooooooo much!" I yell and run toward him to engulf him in a big hug.

He returns the hug and smiles, as he points the camera to the both of us.

"Hi, kids… I hope you know who I am…regardless of who your father is, I just want to make sure that your mother and I stay friends for a very long time, and I want to make sure that you know who I am." Dick says, becoming very serious all of a sudden.

"And maybe you'll take our spots on the team." I say as I smirk and jokingly kiss Dick on the cheek.

Dick just stops for a moment, I don't know if I shocked him or what, but he stops joking and changed the subject.

"Uh how about you perform for them?" Dick asks me.

"Me? Perform? You're joking!" I say smirking.

"Awh come on Anna! I know you know this one! 'You would not believe your eyes, if ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep.'" Dick sings happily.

"'Cause they fill the open air and leave tear drops everywhere, you'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare.'" I sing back smiling.

"'I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly, it's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep, 'cause my dreams are bursting at the seams.'" We sing together and end the song, laughing.

"So uh, what else should I do for the video?" He asks me.

"This should be fine for now, I mean it's not like I won't be around tomorrow, we can finish it then." I say smiling as we run downs stairs to get some food compliments of Alfred.
