Batman stared at Andrea and Talia in shock as Andrea glared at him with her hand firmly on her sword hilt.

"What have you done to her Ra's? What is she doing here?" Batman snarled as he stepped forward and Andrea drew her sword. "Andrea, it's me."

"My daughter knows who you are Bruce. She also knows that if it were not for you, she wouldn't have spent her entire life in misery… Until death released her from it." Ra's said as he walked down to join the group.

"You've poisoned her mind against me." Batman said menacingly as he stepped towards Ra's and Andrea raised her sword as she stood in an offensive stance.

"No Bruce, I did not. You know as well as I that using the Lazarus pit causes your body to rejuvenate and the soul to replenish, but when the memories return you have a fresh perspective without the feelings you had getting in the way."

"Then why is she acting this way?" Batman asked as his hands balled into fists.

"As I said her memories returned but this time they weren't clouded by emotions." Ra's said as he held up his hand and Andrea sheathed her sword. "Andrea, realized that you and the Joker were the cause of every problem in her life." Andrea nodded but stayed silent as Ra's spoke.

"We need to leave now if we're going to put an end to this." Batman said and Ra's nodded.

"It will be glorious to fight side by side against that monster." Ra's said as he whistled loudly and Several women dressed like Talia and Andrea came out of the shadows.

"Let's go." Batman said as he led the group out of the Lazarus Chamber.

…

After the bachelor party, Dick Grayson went back to his hotel room and fell face first on his bed to go to sleep when he thought he heard a light knock on his door. He lifted his head but when no further sound came from the door he laid his head back down. Dick quickly opened his eyes when a loud knock sounded from the door. Dick got up and grabbed a baton before he opened the door slowly and he was shocked to see Star Fire standing on the other side.

"Kori, what are you doing here?" Dick asked as he stepped back from the door and put the baton away. Koriand'r walked into the room and slowly closed the door behind her. Before she could explain why she had come, Dick quickly spoke. "How is Karras?" Dick asked in a bitter tone.

"After the treaty was signed I left him." Koriand'r said as she walked towards him but Dick evaded her touch. Kori put her hands to her side and sighed. "Since I left him, I've been trying to get in contact with you but you haven't come back to the Titans tower or returned my calls."

"Well, you told me to leave you and your…what was it you said again… Oh yes, you said to leave you and your love alone and that you were very happy with him." Dick said as he sat on the bed and put his hands to the sides of his head in an attempt to control the throbbing pain he felt.

"I only did that to save my people from the horrible fate that was with the Genorreans would have caused." Kori pointed out as she sat next to Dick and attempted to grab his hand but he pulled it away.

"You told me to leave Kori. You told me that you had no feelings for me, remember that." Dick reminded her through gritted teeth.

"We were being watched by Black Fire that night and my sister surely would have reported me to my father and to Karras had I not done that." Kori said as she looked into Dick's eyes and he could see that tears were welling up in her eyes. "Please believe me, I've thought of nothing but how to get back here for the last two years." Kori said as the tears began to travel down her cheeks. "I missed you so much and I want you to know that I will never go home again." Dick took a deep breath before he responded.

"I could never stay angry with you." He said as he wiped the tears off of her face and she leaned forward tentatively and became excited to feel his lips upon hers. What began as a tentative kiss quickly erupted into passionate making-out as Star Fire released the pent up passion she had been holding onto for the last two years.

…

"I'm staying with Selina tonight." Barbara said for the second time in an attempt to explain that they would spend the night apart before they get married.

"It's an old superstition." Tim said with a laugh and Barbara glared at him.

"With the lives we are going to live, I'd prefer not to tempt fate." Barbara replied. Tim shook his head and chuckled.

"Fine, you win, I'll see what Dick is up to." Tim said as he got up and left the room. Barbara took a few moments to make sure she had packed everything into her overnight bag and then left the room.

"We'll need as much luck as we can get." Barbara said under her breath as she turned the lights off and left the room.

…

An hour later, Bruce and Alfred dressed as Batman, led the two groups to within a block of each other when Talia leaned over and whispered to Andrea.

"It would appear that father is preoccupied. Now, would be the time to speak with Bruce if you still intend to. After all, this may be your last chance." Talia pointed out. Andrea nodded and walked up to speak with Bruce, taking care to insure that Ra's didn't see her."

"Bruce, I need to talk to you." Andrea said just loud enough for Batman to hear her. "Bruce, It's still me… I had to act that way towards you back there to convince Ra's that I am a good fit to take over once he dies." Knowing that if he stopped it would cause everyone to look their direction Batman continued but Andrea saw his eyes widen in surprise as he turned his head to look at her.

"Why…?" Batman asked as he turned his head forward again.

"I believe that what they are doing is right." Andrea replied. "They are trying to save this city just like you are Bruce, they simply have a different approach."

"They kill…" Batman growled. Andrea smirked at that.

"So, do I, in case you've forgotten." Andrea pointed out. Batman shook his head.

"You were trying to be better." Batman replied. Andrea smirked at that.

"Trying is the key work in that sentence, Bruce." Andrea said after a moment. "Do you really think I could have stopped myself from killing Joker after all he had done?"

"If you wanted to, then yes, I believe that you could." Batman said, and Andrea shook her head. "You choose the easy way out, or you choose to be the hero."

"Has that line convinced anyone, ever?" Andrea asked with a laugh. Batman stopped walking forward and turned his head towards Andrea.

"It convinced Jason." Batman said. Ra's and the group caught up to them within minutes of them stopping.

"Why are we stopping here?" Ra's asked curiously, and Talia glared at Andrea when she noticed the way that her newest sister was looking at the Dark Knight.

"I'm going to scout ahead and make certain that we'll take Clayface by surprise." Batman said and used his grapple gun to quickly get to the rooftop above them.

"Where are you going?" Talia asked as she quickly grabbed Andrea's arm before Andrea could go after Batman.

"He could need backup if he runs into Clayface or Riddler." Andrea pointed out. Talia looked thoughtful for a moment and then grinned at her.

"If he runs into something like that then you won't be much help alone. I'll go with you." Talia said as she and Andrea both used there grapples to quickly follow Batman.

…

"How much farther are we going to walk?" Clayface asked irritably and his thugs backed up slightly as none of them wanted to be the tool Clayface used to rid himself of the irritation.

"Ra's al Ghul was sighted one block from here." Alfred said with the voice modulator to make him sound like Batman. "I'll scout ahead and see if I can find him."

"Fine, just hurry up." Clayface said impatiently and Riddler smirked at him.

"Good things come to those who wait." Riddler pointed out. Clayface glared at him for a moment before he replied.

"I'm waiting aren't I?" Clayface snarled, before he looked up on the rooftop and saw Batman hold up one finger to signal the enemy force was one block away and he pointed in the direction the group had been walking before he disappeared from sight. "Finally, let's go men." Clayface said with a wide grin.

"I hope you know what you're doing, Batman." Riddler thought as he allowed the army to pass him on their way to fight Ra's and his assassins, before using his hook cane to grapple his way to the rooftop next to him.

…

The two Batmen met on the rooftop along with Jason in his new Robin outfit, Catwoman, and Flash. Before anyone could speak they heard Talia and Andrea land close to them on the roof.

"What in the nine hells is going on?" Andrea asked and Talia grinned at her.

"The plan is going just as I anticipated." Talia said as she walked towards the group. It was then that Andrea heard Clayface and his thugs surging forward. When she looked she saw Ra's and his assassins also moving forward and when the two armies saw each other they began to charge.

"We have to warn, Ra's." Andrea said, but before she could leap off the roof, Batman grappled her foot and she fell to the ground.

"It's too late for that." Riddler said. "The battle has begun. Now, all we can do is wait and watch as they take each other out."

"Then mop up after and take down anyone that is left." Batman said as Alfred removed the heavy armored costume and Bruce changed into it. Alfred will stay up here and cover us with the sniper rifle we left up here last night, when the time comes."

"We can't just allow Ra's to be killed by that giant pile of mud." Andrea pointed out as she used her knife to cut the end of Batman's grapple to free herself.

"Stop!" Batman growled viciously as he stepped closer to Andrea. "We have one chance to put an end to all of this."

"We can take the clay man and his minions." Andrea replied.

"We need clay face to take out father and has much of the league as he can." Talia advised. "You haven't seen what has happened before, but father wants to die. I say its time to grant his wish. Afterwards, we can re-make the league of shadows and be better then we were before." She added. "We'll partner with the other vigilantes in this city rather then trying to fight them to."

"Uh ladies, it would seem as though it is a moot argument at this point." Riddler advised as the sounds of battle reached their ears.

…

"It would seem that the Bat has led us to our enemy." Ra's said to his army that surrounded him. The assassins stood ready as Clay face's clay soldiers along with his thugs approached them.

"Ra's Al Ghul, it is finally time to put an end to this." Clayface said. "You've lived for far too long anyway."

"You're nothing but a clump of dirt, Clayface." Ra's called back. "Someone should have cleaned you off of these streets long ago." Clayface roared in response and his forces ran forward and Ra's gave the signal and his forces ran forward as well.
