"Thank you for the help," Gar said shaking Joseph and Martha's hands.
"It will be hard on the farm without you," Joseph smiled.
"You can come back anytime Garfield," Martha smiled handing him a bag of food to go.
"Thank you, both of you; you helped me a lot this past month," he told them before transforming into a pterodactyl, grabbing the bag of food, and flying away.

"Watch out!" Dick yelled at Kon-El as Metallo prepared to open the lead shielding on his chest.
"Oh no you don't," Gar yelled as he jumped off the edge of a nearby roof transforming back into a pterodactyl. He grabbed Metallo and flew him high into the sky away from the Kryptonian.
"We'll drop him off at the prison and catch up with you all in the cave," Dick said jumping onto Gar's back and broke a knock out pellet under Metallo's nose.

"We have a problem Batman," Dick said walking up to his adoptive father.
"I know, the Joker broke out," Bruce bluntly said.
"Worse than that; Orion, Cheshire, Sportsmaster, and Catwoman were seen attacking the Federal Reserve with the Joker," Dick snapped back.
"Are you calm enough to face him this time?" Bruce made sure to ask.
"Absolutely," Dick nodded.
"Good, the entire team is to go on this; prepare Guy for the Joker

"How many times do we have to put you back in Arkham?" Dick asked as he flipped over the clown.
"You can't keep genius locked up bird boy," Joker laughed disappearing revealing he was just a hologram. His voice then came out of nearby speakers. "Good luck," he laughed.
"Fate has set a new path for you!" Chloe yelled as she cast a spell through Orion as he was about to kill Gar.
"You bitch!" was all Orion could get out before he fell to the ground knocked out.
"feiht ezeerF !" Zatanna yelled at Selena.
"No you don't," Kaldur spat at Cheshire as she took aim at M'gann.
"And one down," Lawrence snapped as he tossed Wally across the room. "So good to see you again Artemis; where is your mother so we can have a proper family reunion?" he asked as he knocked out Chloe and Zatanna.
"Shut up!" Artemis yelled throwing a punch at her dad who blocked it easily.
"Nighty night," he laughed as he threw her at Dick knocking him out. "I see," he laughed. "Your team doesn't know do they?" he sneered as Artemis groaned. "Well let me inform you. I am her father and Cheshire is her sister."
"No…," Wally moaned as he began to wake up.
"Excuse me, but your attacking our new team," Gar said before transforming into a T-Rex and slinging Lawrence across the room with his tail, knocking out the supervillain.
"No more out of you," Guy chuckled as he covered his mouth and wrists with a green construct.
"pu ekaW!" Zatanna snapped as she slapped Dick.
"I'm awake," Dick sprung up and knocked out the Joker in a single movement.
"Who is left?" Gar asked looking around.
"No one, Orion and Cheshire both escaped once again.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Wally asked.
"Because I'm not the traitor," Artemis pleaded.
"Says you but no one knew you were Sportsmaster's daughter or related to Cheshire. How can we be sure?" Wally pressed.
"Because I knew," Dick groaned as he massaged his shoulder.
"And you didn't tell us?" Wally yelled at his supposed best friend.
"Batman told me not to," Dick stated with a sense of finality as if that explained everything.
"You don't always do what he tells you to, I know, Zatanna knows, Barbara knows, Kara knows. Trust me I know you only completely listen to him when it suits your needs," Wally snapped referring to the fact that they know who he is.
"Or the fact that telling you that was my secret not hers," Dick stood up to face his friend. "You need to ask yourself if you still trust her and if she is still the same person. To me she is the person she earned to be," Dick told him before sitting back down.
"Argh!" Wally snapped before storming off.
"Just give him time Artemis," Barbara said rolling into the room.
Within the blink of an eye Artemis had left the room followed quickly by Dick. They left so fast no one realized they gone until Zatanna said something about it after ten seconds or so.
"Calm down Artemis, you know this would happen," Dick tried to calm her down.
"So, I was starting to put my trust in him…," Artemis snapped.
"How do you think he feels? He feels betrayed by both of us. He doesn't know how hard it is to escape your past. Trust me we will get him to see that you weren't trying to hurt him Artemis. We need to head back in there Artemis, come on," Dick weakly smiled as he lead his friend back into the living room.
