It wasn't long before we were flying over Emma's school and my eyes began to water the instant I saw it. Flames were jumping from the window and smoke was raising from every nook and cranny, I put a hand over my mouth to stifle a paniked sob. Justin turned to me with a concerned face, but he didn't say anything. Looking forward Vig was pressing some buttons on the consoles and the hull made a gentle thud. Looking out the windshield I shouted out loud as I watched a missile collide with Emma's school. I jumped out of my seat and grabbed Vig's collar.

"What do you think your doing! You just shot the school! My baby could still be in there!" Vig gripped my wrists and stirred me back to the glass.

"Would you breath and look before you throttle me." Looking closely I realized the missile didn't knock down the school. In fact I couldn't see anymore flames, it looked a lot better than it did a few moments ago. Vig started navigating the javelin down and spoke to me at the same time.

"It's a knock down missile, none explosive. It robs a fire of the air it needs to burn like a fire extinguisher. If anyone's still in there they're fine." Letting out a sigh of relief I tried to get a handle on myself before I started to break down in front of two heroes. As soon as the javelin touched down I was running out trying to find Emma in the crowd that's been gathering. Justin ran off to the building to try and help anyone still trapped and Vig went with me. All of a sudden Vig halted and held out his hand to stop me, he pointed up. Looking I could see a figure on the roof of the school.

The figure pulled out an object and then they fired something. What ever it was it landed in the wall next to Vig and I, it looked like a zip line. Turns out my suspicious were correct as the figure started sliding down toward us. The figure it turned out was none other than the Green Arrow, who looked no worse for wear. His greens were stained with ash and his hair was hanging in his face. More importantly in his arms was a frightened little girl with wide eyes.

"Emma!" I shouted and I ran up and practically ripped her from Green Arrow's arms. As soon as she was hugging me my girl started to cry into my neck, which made me break down. Dropping down to my knees I set Emma on her feet and pulled away to give her a once over.

"Baby are you okay? Are you hurt?" Emma just shook her head and came up to me hugging around my neck like a kola. Green Arrow spoke up in a quiet tone.

"She's just fine. Just a little freaked out, I found her up on the second floor." I didn't answer him just holding my girl close letting it sink in that she was okay. I didn't know what I would have done if I'd lost her too. I felt someone's hand on my shoulder and I saw Vig looking at me with gentle eyes. Feeling another sob in my throat I let Vig pull me to him. He wrapped his arms around me, Emma sandwiched between the two of us. I sighed letting my body slowly calm down. Green Arrow cleared his throat.

"Vigilante, you should look at this." Vig gently let go of us and looked at what looked like a photograph that Green Arrow was holding. After he studied it for a bit I heard him swear under his breath.

"What is it." I asked uncertainly. Vig hesitated a moment before he handed the photo to me. I gasped aloud as I studied it. It was a picture of one of the school's blackboards and there was a message written in white chalk. It said ' This is your first and only warning'. At that moment there was a quiet engine roar and a long black custom car pulled alongside us. It was the bat-mobile, one of the dark tinted windows rolled down revealing the cowled head of Batman.

"Ms. Heartily you and your daughter get in." With out another word one of the doors opened and I slid in still holding Emma close. Which was just as well because there was only a drivers and a passenger seat, Emma had to be settled on my lap. As soon as the door closed the car tore off. Batman glanced at us and asked in a soft tone.

"Is she alright?" He gestured to Emma who was still clinging to me like crazy. I nodded.

"Shocked but unhurt." Batman turned slightly still keeping total control of the car, in the kindest voice I'd ever heard him use he said.

"Emma please look over here." Slowly Emma raised her head to look at him. He reached over like he was going to stroke her cheek, but a gas sprayed out of his gauntlet. Emma coughed a few times before she went limp in my arms. Eyes wide I almost shouted.

"What was that!" Batman with-drew his arm and turned full attention back to the road.

"Just something to make her rest for a while." Then he reached over to me with a long strip of cloth in his hand.

"Put that over your eyes until I say so." I took it and rose an eyebrow questioningly.

"Why?"

"Standard procedure." Not saying another word I carefully tied the blind over my eyes and sat in pitch black for who knows how long. Soon enough though I felt the tires underneath us screech to a halt then Batman's voice.

"You can take it off now." Taking off the blind I carefully carried Emma and stepped out of the Bat-mobile. Looking around I had a strange feeling of vertigo. We were surrounded by the enormous confines of what looked like an underground cave. Following Batman he led me across a small bridge to the actual body of the cave. Emma fidgeted in my arms a bit before she settled and fell back asleep. I heard a series of pants and grunts, and looked over to the side. It looked like a gym that was part gymnastics layout, part sparing ring. Up on the gymnasium bars I could see a small body flying through the air perfectly like a bird. Batman cleared his throat, the sound was quiet but the cave made the sound seem deafening. The person on the bars did a flying leap and landed on his feet so perfect he'd have made a word class gymnast jealous. The person was actually a boy, one that I instantly assumed to be Robin the Boy Wonder. He looked at us a few moments with a confused expression.

"What's up. Why are they here?" Batman kept walking but answered over his shoulder.

"Complications arose. Take the girl and put her on the cot. She'll wake up soon." Robin walked over to us and gave me a friendly smile.

"Don't worry ma'am I'll make sure she's comfortable." Gently I settled Emma into Robins arms princess style.

"She's not two heavy is she?" The boy gave me a cocky grin.

"Don't worry about it." When he walked off I turned to catch up with Batman. He was facing a wall that was basically a giant computer. He was typing away and I tried to remain quiet so he could finish but I couldn't contain myself.

"So I think its safe to say that who ever you've ticked off knows that I'm involved." Batman answered without turning around.

"What gave it away?" I couldn't help the little grin that came on my face.

"Why Batman did you just make a joke?" He didn't even respond. Instead he turned and studied me for a moment before speaking.

"You can't go back to your house." I hung my head for a bit before answering him.

"Look I get where your coming from but where exactly can I go that's safe?" He didn't get the chance to answer my question because there was a soft bang of a door being closed. Looking to the sound I received one of the biggest shocks of my life. There was none other than Alfred Pennyworth holding a silver tray and with an expression of shock that I'm sure equaled my own. Alfred looked between us for a moment.

"Miss. Heartliy I assure you there is a reasonable explanation for this." There was a big sigh and Batman's voice.

"Give it up Alfred." I turned around and Batman had taken off his cowl and there was the face of Bruce Wayne!
