Lilith's POV:

Boys are really stupid. Isaac is really stupid. I guess it doesn't matter either way, we would still have gone together anyway regardless of circumstance. Isaac's been acting weird all day. I find myself hoping that I didn't scare away my only friend. That would be some cruel irony.

Today is my brother's birthday. The poor kid only asked for one thing for his birthday and it's the one thing I can't get him. He wanted the Flying Graysons for his birthday. I didn't have the heart to tell him that they were all dead. All except one, Dick Grayson. Of course he's too busy beating up my parents be able to show up so that is out of the question.

"So class can anyone tell me what coulrophobia is?", said Ms. Albright, snapping me out of my thoughts. I raised my hand with indifference. It was an easy question.

"Yes, Lilith?"

"The fear of clowns", I said, matter of factly.

'Her questions are always so trivial. Can she not give us a challenge?', I thought.

"Very good Lilith"

The bell gave a loud ring and the class empied. I walked down the hall to the library and was about to walk through the doors, when I heard a loud bang. I turned around and saw Isaac pushed against a locker...again. 'This boy is absolutely hopeless'.

"Hey Bo, do ya mind putting the nerd down? We have a class to get to"

"No thanks. I got to show this dweeb a lesson in manners"

"Are you really sure that you're the best candidate for that?"

"I don't know what candidtahooey means but I do know that you're really getting on my nerves, Stretch"

"Stretch?!"

"Yeah cause you're tall"

With all the strength I could, I shoved the bully onto the ground and kicked him where it hurts. He howled in pain and started crying.

"I think I'm gonna call you Infertile, because now you can't have kids anymore. Come on Isaac"

"Yes ma'am", he said a little timidly.

We walked into the library and sat down at one of the tables. Isaac just kinda stared at me with shock and awe in his eyes.

"What?"

"You are absolutely terrifying sometimes, you know that?", he said.

"Thanks", I gave him a rare smile and punched him in the shoulder.

We continued our projects and finished them before the bell rang. After class, we went our separate ways. He went to the limo waiting for him and I went home with Erisabeth, Axel, and Rose. It took a while to get used to not seeing him everyday but I've still got Axel and Rose to look out for.

For Axel's birthday party we set up blue streamers, balloons, and other decorations in the backyard. On a table was a double layered chocolate cake with blue icing and dark blue sprinkles. Erisabeth invited her friend Becky Albright, my psychology teacher. Unfortunately Becky decided to bring Alice Not-So-Pleasant so that's the downside. They showed up pretty soon with Isaac arriving right after.

"Hey Lil", he said with a big grin on his face.

"What did you do?"

"You'll see"

"That's ominous"

He darted away from me and went over to Axel and gave him a big hug before putting his present on the large table beside the cake table. Then we all gathered at the table with the cake and I picked Axel up so that he could blow out his candles.

"Make a wish Axel", I said.

He filled his little cheeks with as much air as he could and blew out a gust of wind which blew out the candles.

"What did you wish for?"

"I wished that every day could be like this one"

"You ain't seen nothing yet, kid", said a voice from above.

The former boy blunder in his traditional Flying Graysons attire lept from the roof of the house and landed with a backflip. Axel's eyes went wide and he darted out of my grip toward the man in blue spandex. I looked behind me at Isaac who gave me a grin. I smiled back gratefully. Axel asked question upon question. When he asked where the other Grayson's were, I gave Dick the signal that gestured that I would kill him if he told the truth.

"This has been the best birthday ever!", he yelled at the top of his lungs.

*In Arkham Asylum*

All of the rogues sat in the recreation room, watching TV, playing chess, and talking.

"Today is my son's 7th birthday", said Jonathan Crane.

"Congratulations mate", Jervis replied.

"Congrats", said Edward.

"They grow up so fast!", Harley squeaked before blowing her nose with a tissue, comically.

"They stop growing when they're dead y'know. Kids, ya gotta love 'em while they last. Hahahahahahaha!", a voice cackled from the shadows.

"Joker! What are you doing in here?! Aren't you supposed to be in solitary?!", said Jonathan.

"Yes well I managed to...convince the guards to let me in"

Suddenly, all the guards fell over dead with twisted grins on their features.

"I think I might pay a visit to the little tike. I know I wasn't invited to the party but it's sure to be a laugh"

"If you dare lay a hand on him, I will rip you apart and feed your body parts to my hyenas!", shouted Harley.

"How are you gonna do that if you're all locked up in here?"

The Joker's goons grabbed the rogues and dragged them to their cells. They kicked and screamed at the top of their lungs but it was useless.

"Besides, what's a birthday party without a clown? Hahahahahahahaha"
