Batman woke up half an hour later, groaning, despite himself. "Hey Bats. You're awake." Flash said from his seat on the bed beside the one Batman was occupying. "Thank God. Our new prisoner has not woken up yet."

"Okay. Where is everyone else?" Batman asked, sitting up. His wounds hurt, but he wasn't going to let Flash know that.

"They're in the control room, waiting for us." Flash said.

"Let's go." Batman stood up, and somehow managed to not sway.

Flash followed the Bat into the control room, the rest of the League were waiting for them there. "Are you okay Batman?" Wonder Woman asked?

"Yeah. I'm okay." Batman said. "Where is the girl?" He asked.

"Follow us. So far, she hasn't woke up yet. We looked her over when we arrived, and found she was largely unharmed. Nothing major." Hawkgirl said. "We put her in one of the cells, just in case. We don't know anything about her, so we figured we had better play it safe."

"Good idea." Batman said as they arrived at the cell. Dreamscape was laying on a cot, her eyes closed. The mask covering her face was still there, but she still looked so peaceful, and so much like the girl she had been before Jacobs' had gotten to her. Batman opened the cell doors, and went inside. "Dreamscape." He said, nugging her.

With a small groan, Dreamscape opened her eyes, and looked at Batman. "Where am I? Is it over?" She asked, sounding every bit the frightened teenager she was.

"You're in our Watch Tower. It's over." Batman gently said to the scared girl.

The rest of the League were slightly shocked to see Batman acting to gentle towards the girl. But they all knew he had a soft spot for younger people, especially ones in danger.

Dreamscape sat up, and looked at the rest of the League. "Thank you." She said to them all, she eyes smiling. "We need to talk Batman." She looked at the Dark Knight, then to the others. Dreamscape stood up, and looked the the League. "I was born with the ability to enter a person's dreams, only to observe, not interact. Jacobs found out about this, and took me away from my family. He then started doing tests and experiments to see if he could use my powers to do other things to people. He found a way to control me, and used my powers to hurt people. He was controlling me when I attacked Batman." Dreamscape looked up at the team. "I did not want to hurt Batman. I wanted to stop, I tried to, but the only think I could do was talk to Batman, Jacobs had complete control of everything else. I'm very sorry."

"It's okay Little Sister." Wonder Woman said. "We believe you."

"That's not all." Dreamscape lowered her head, ashamed of what she was about to say.

"It's okay, you can tell us." Superman said.

"The reason Jacobs took me, and trained me, was so I could do one thing for him and his partner." Dreamscape looked sad.

"His partner? Who's his partner?" GL asked.

"Jacobs' research was funded by a man who wanted me to do one thing for him, and that was the reason I was created. I was created to destroy the Justice League, at Lex Luther's command." Dreamscape looked down in shame again.

"Lex Luther?" Superman growled out. Dreamscape flinched. "It figures he would be involved in this."

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn"t want to do it, and now, thanks to you all, I don't have to. As long as I'm not in that pod, I don't have to follow his commands. You got me out before he could figure out how to completely control me." Dreamscape looked at, still sad, but also grate full. "Thank you for saving me. Can I go home soon Batman? I miss my family." Tears started to streamed down her face.
"Yeah. I'll take you home. You're family will be happy to see you." Batman said, taking Dreamscape to the ship. After getting her settled in, Dreamscape fell asleep quickly, tired beyond all reason, Batman turned to his team. "I know what you're thinking, but I trust her." He said.

"Do you remember what she did to you? She almost killed you." Flash said. "She was in your head, and almost killed you."
"Yes, but she fought it the whole time. She fought every command, and finally broke free from his grasp. She's a scared kid who was force to do things that she never wanted to do. Doesn't that make her a victim? Doesn't that make her one of the people we have to help out?" Batman looked at the face's of his team. They knew he was right. "Jacobs took her from her home, and family in Gotham, so I'm going to take her back." Batman got in the ship, and flew back to earth.

"Bat's is right." Flash said. "She did end up helping us in the end. She looked extremely upset that she had hurt Batman, and did you see her in the tube, she even looked scared then."
"You're right. If Batman trusts her, then so should we." GL said. "Either way, I'm also going home and getting some sleep. I'll see you later." With that, GL left, followed by the other.

Batman landed the ship on a roof, and got out, taking Dreamscape with him. He programmed the autopilot to return to the Watch Tower. "Dreamscape, wake up." He said to the teen.

Dreamscape opened her eyes. "Yes Batman?" She asked.

"You need to change your clothes, and I'm going to take you to the hospital, okay? It's time you went home. We need to come up with a story as to how I found you." Batman said, putting the girl down, and handing her some clothes. They were not in good condition, but would work perfectly for what Dreamscape had in mind.

"Tell them the truth, or at least, part of it. Tell them you found me being held by a crazed lunatic." Dreamscape said as Batman turned, and she changed her clothes. "I'm done. Will you hold on to these for me, I want them back later." She said, handing her old clothes to Batman.
"Of course." Batman took the clothes, and called for the Batwing. He put the clothes in the aircraft, and sent it back to the cave. "Shall we go then?" Batman picked the girl up, and took off the Gotham General Hospital. He burst through the door, and caused a upraise. "I need help." He said, handed Raven off to the nurses and doctors. "Her name is Raven Thorne." The doctors took her to be examined.

Batman contacted Gordon, who showed up in record time. "What is it Batman?" Gordon asked.

"I found Raven Thorne. She was in a cage inside a lab the League was investigating. The man responsible is already in jail." Batman said.

"Raven Thorne? I thought for sure she was dead. Thank God I was wrong." Gordon said. "I'll contact her family. Thank you Batman." Gordon walked off to contact Raven's family.

Batman snuck off to do some thinking. He arrived in the Batcave not long after he left the hospital. Alfred was waiting for him there. "Must have been a busy night Master Bruce." The British man said.

"Very." Batman said, taking his hood off. He looked at his butler, and closest friend. "But a happy one." Batman nodded, and went to change out of his uniform. He headed up to the top levels of the mansion, and into the kitchen, where Alfred was already waiting for him with some food.

"Please eat Master Bruce." Alfred said, putting a plate in from of the man.

"Okay Alfred." Bruce dug in as Alfred turned to TV onto the news.

A beautiful woman apeared on screen. "This is Amanda Pen, and I am reporting from Gotham General. We received news that missing teen, Raven Thorne, has been recovered after a year and a half. Batman brought the battered teen into Gotham General thirty minutes ago. Gotham PD and Commissioner Gordon haven't given any information on where or how Raven Thorne was found, but witnesses say that Batman burst through the doors, asking for help with the young girl, and was then seen talking to Commissioner Gordon, before leaving. Raven Thorne's father, Theodore Thorne was seen arriving at the hospital with his wife and son, ten minutes ago. We have not gotten a statement from either of them." The woman paused for a moment. "This is Amanda Pen, reporting, we'll keep you posted." The screen cut to a different story.

"You found Raven Thorne Master Bruce?" Alfred asked.

"Yeah. She was in a lab the rest of the League and I took down earlier today. She'd been through a lot." Bruce said. "By the way, there is an outfit in the Batwing, can you wash it for me?" He asked.

"Certainly Master Bruce." Alfred slipped off to find the outfit, and Bruce headed off to bed. He had an early morning meeting with some people about a new building he was working on, then he wanted to head over to the hospital to talk to Theodore.
