Thanks for reviewing!
Rebbecca took one last look at her mother holding Rex and her younger self before turning back to her father.
"I don't think anything's changed. We got lucky."
"Yeah." John agreed staring at his new family. "We did."
A petite blond suddenly entered the room. "Hey TL, we got the boom-tube working." Said Arrowette.
John frowned. "So? How is that supposed to help you?"
"In our time boom-tubes travel through time as well as space." She explained. "They're a lot more functional that way."
"So...you're leaving?" Asked Shayera.
"Yeah." TL sighed. "But at the same time I'm not. Take good care of Rex and little me."
"We will." John promised as his daughter and her friend left the room. He turned back to Shayera, "So do you feel okay?"
"A lot better now that they're out." She admitted. "But I won't be completely happy until we're out of here."
"Couldn't of said it better myself." John agreed. "We just have to deal with this place for two more days."
Shay adjusted her grip on the twins. "Do you think we'll be good parents?"
"Of course." John said encouragingly. "You saw Rebbecca, she turned out fine."
"But what about Rex; he doesn't have any wings." She whispered.
"He did in the future; we'll just have to convince Steel or Bruce to make them for him."
Shayera shook her head. "It won't be the same."
"How do you know that?"
"Maternal instinct."
"Look, they're both going to be fine so quit worrying." He yawned as he sat down in the chair.
"Why are you yawning? You're not the one to had to pop out two little people." Shayera scowled.
"No, but I had to hear you scream and feel you strangle my hand." John replied. "It was exhausting."
Shayera rolled her eyes. "Sorry guys," She sighed to her newborn children. "your father's a wimp."
"But you love me anyways." John murmured as he drifted off.
"So true." Shayera smiled. "So very true."
Sagelli wandered through the hallway in search of her teammates.
The idiots had left her in the bathroom and now she didn't have a single clue where they were. Taking a guess, she opened up a random door to reveal a raven-haired women perched on a redheaded mans lap.
"Crap." She muttered under her breath as she recognized her parents.
Helena turned to the intruder, "Who are you?"
Sagelli considered this for a second. "...Gina."
Vic frowned. "Do I know you? You seem very familiar."
"Oh, I just have one of those faces." Sagelli lied.
"Where are your parents? Do they know you're here?" Helena asked.
The petite redhead eyed her parents. "Yep."
Shayeras' screams from the room next to theirs drifted through the walls. "Ugh, I am so never having kids." Helen flinched.
"Thank God you agree with me on that." Q sighed in relief.
"Oh, I don't know." Opined Gina. "I think you two would make pretty good parents."
"Right," Snorted Helena. "I'm so sure."
"Seriously," Pressed Sagelli. "you should think about it."
Helena rolled her eyes and turned back to Vic. "Hear that? I finally met someone more crazy than the two of us."
"Um, I gotta go." Gina said quickly, avoiding eye-contact as she scooted out the door. "Bye."
Vic watched her go with a frown. "It sounds strange, but I feel like I know her."
"Yeah." Helena agreed uncomfortably. "Me too." A pause. "You know, I really like the name Gina. Maybe if we ever want to have kids..."
"Helena..."
"Kidding." She laughed. "Which reminds me, I need to buy a new box of condoms when we go shopping."
A familiar feeling of someone watching her prickled across Helenas' neck. "I know you're there, Bruce."
The shadow on the far wall shifted until a bat was standing in front of the couple. "In the hospital again, I see."
"Hi to you to." She growled. "By the way, thanks for all those years of neglect, abandonment, ignorance, and cold shoulders you gave me."
"Don't be so hard on him." Diana softly suggested as she walked towards the group. "He is a man, they can't help being idiots."
"Hmp." Helen huffed, leaning her head against Vics' chest and closing her eyes. "Yeah, well, you've ignored me for pretty much my whole life and since I really don't feel like having a special daddy-daughter bond why don't you just show yourselves out?"
Bruce glared at her, "To be fair, I didn't know until you were two."
"The great and powerful Batman couldn't figure out he had a daughter? Worlds' Greatest Detective my ass."
Bruce looked her in the eyes. "Look, you never wanted to be my daughter and I never wanted a child, correct?"
"No shit, Sherlock."
"Then you stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours. We can just pretend this whole thing is a big joke and go back to the way we were, alright?"
Helena ignored the feeling of rejection in her stomach. She hadn't exactly been expecting been expecting a tearful reunion with hugging and declarations of love, but this just seemed so...cold. "Fine." She muttered. "That's exactly what I want."
"Now wait a minute, Bruce-"
"I'm just doing what's best, Diana." He replied simply, leading Diana out of the door. Before he was completely out he turned back to the couple. "And Helena?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm proud of you." He said tonelessly. He turned towards Vic and gave him a small, rare grin. "Keep him, he's a good balance for you."
"...Thank you." Helena mumbled in disbelief. Had he really just said that? She felt warmth flood through her, her father was proud of her. Batman was proud of her.
Vic bent down and whispered into her ear, "You're happy."
"How can you tell?"
"You're grinning like Joker." She instantly wiped the smile off her face at his remark. "Ha-ha."
"Why is that 'ha-ha'? You should be happy."
Helena smirked at him before craning up her head and kissing him deeply. "'Course I am, I have you." She pressed him against the hospital mattress, teasing her fingers along his thighs. "Oh look at that," She whispered into his ear as a familiar stiffness poked her leg. "you're happy to."
"I have you climbing all over me, what man wouldn't be?"
She shot him a grin. "Ooh, a compliment. Someone wants to get with a naughty school girl when we get home."
"And the odds of that happening are...?"
"Pretty good if you keep sweet-talking me like this." She murmured. "You know this has always been a fantasy of mine."
"Making love in a hospital?"
"No, making love to the sexy guy who rescued me from death." She replied with a light flick of her tongue. Huntress prepared to remove his pants when a slight cough came from the doorway.
"Ahem. Am I interrupting something?"
Vic grimaced as they broke apart. "Not anymore, Selina."
Helen glared at her, "What do you want?"
"Nothing. I just came by for an exam and to make sure Helena's okay." Selina replied calmly.
"An exam for what?"
"Your new sibling." Catwoman explained. "I need to make sure he or she is healthy."
"Huh?" Frowned Helena.
"I'm pregnant." Selina clarified.
"Wait a minute, Bruce screwed you over again?"
"No, but Lex did."
"As in Luthor?"
"How many other Lex's do you know?" Selina frowned.
Huntress felt Vic tense up at the mention of the man who had beaten him to a pulp. Helena noticed this and gave his hand a reassuring squeeze, "We don't really talk about him that much."
Selina opened her mouth to taunt them, but stopped. She had seen it; the flash of pain in the crackpots' eyes, her daughter squeezing his hand in sympathy, that look of understanding...
Suddenly Selina got it; she no longer saw her child involved with someone who would bring her down, she instead saw her and Bruce when they were younger.
She could remember them being on the same level, instantly knowing what the other was thinking by a mere glance. She remembered making wild love and flirting away the night.
Catwoman thought of rescuing each other and being the only two creatures in the world when they were together. She remembered the feeling of sheer joy and happiness that came with being in love.
How long had it been since someone looked at her that way? When was the last time she'd felt that way about anyone, including Batman.
Bruce had moved on and was content, but she was still stuck in the past. What had happened that had made her this way? Had she loved Bruce; yes, and a part of her always would.
But why love when there was no love being given? Bruce had made his feelings about her perfectly clear and as much as it hurt to admit it, she needed to move on.
When she saw her daughter she saw herself with one major difference; whereas she and Bruce had lost touch and drifted apart, her daughter and her husband would not.
Selina Kyle had always wanted what was best for her daughter; to give her a better life than she had. Looking at Helena and this man together reminded her why she had given up her child in the first place.
Selina was a smart woman and she was smart enough to let it go. Did she approve; no way in hell. But could she change it even if she had the chance; not in a million years.
"Aside from that, I was under the impression when a young woman got married she needed her mothers' blessing."
Vic shot her a tired glare. "Selina, please; can we do this later?"
"Was I talking to you?" She frowned before turning back to Helena. "Darling, you know I only want what's best for you."
"Whatever."
She ignored the comment and continued. "If this man makes you happy, fine. Does he?"
Helena shot a shy look at Vic who smiled down at her tenderly. "He does."
Selina looked them over one more time. "I don't understand you two at all." She sighed. "But if this is what you really want...you have my blessing."
Helena raised an eyebrow. "Who said I want your blessing?"
"Just in case." Selina replied coolly as she left the room.
As she wandered into the cafeteria, she saw Diana and Bruce locked in a passionate embrace. She could have interrupted them, but strangely, she didn't want to.
I guess I'm not as evil as everyone thinks.
