Legal Shit:I do not own Batman Beyond, Terry McGinis, Maxine Gibson, Dana

Tan, Mary McGinis, Matt McGinis, Bruce Wayne, Ace, Blight, Inque, or the Jokerz. I do, however, own this story, Akuyo, Oyuka, Mr. Makenari, and any other characters that you will never see on the show. So don't copy me, or I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND GUT YOU LIKE A FISH! Heehee. Shut me up.



Oyuka P.O.V

After school, Terry offered to take me to the Batcave, but I skipped out. "Dad-and-Daughter night," I explained, walking away. When I got to my apartment, there was green paint smeared on the walls. When I looked closer, it spelled out, "Ha ha!" My throat tightened, and I threw open the door. "Chichioya?" I yelled, running through the ramshackaled home. I heard someone groaning underneath the couch. I pulled it upright and found Daddy. "Oyuka......Akuyo....." I stared. "Chichioya, you know?" "Hai.......I love you...... aijou.......joji......" Then he closed his eyes. "Chichioya! Chichioya, iie! I screamed his name, over and over, shaking him. "Chichioya! Chichioya, yobisamasu!" Over and over. (Author's note: I know some of the Japanese may not be right, but I'm doing my best with an online Japanese translator and a limited knowledge. Review with corrections, plz.) Tears flowed from my eyes, spilling all over the place. Standing up, I called the police, then changed into my Akuyo kimono. Kissing Chichioya on the forehead, I flew out the window. "Powers, you're going the hell down."

I sighted the Batmobile and landed on top of it. *Yo, Terry* I thought, sending the message to his brain. *Whazza? Akuyo?* He thought back. *Change of plans. Go to Powers. NOW.* He hesitated, but steered the massive jet towards the Wayne/Powers building.

We crashed through the glass roof, right in front of Blight. "Bat-Girl?" "Nice try, babasoucho. Try Akuyo!" I smashed him in the face. "Ahh!" Radioactive goo smeared all over my hand. "What are you, radioactive gorilla shit?" I yelled, focusing on my hand and willing it to heal. Terry chucked a electric Batarang at him. "Oof!" Blight fell over. I focused energy in my hand and blasted it at Blight as he broke the ropes surrounding him. "This is for Makenari Keisei!" He fell backwards. "And this," I yelled, collecting more energy, "is for Makenari Rihatsu!" I blasted him and he laid on the ground, unconsious. The radiation around him faded, and I walked up to him. "And this is for everyone else you've ever hurt, and for all the ones you will never hurt." I gathered my biggest ball of energy yet, and lifted over my head, ready to blast the ketsunoana. Terry grabbed my arm. "Akuyo, no." I nodded, and absorbed the energy. Then I collasped. I sobbed into the ground, my body shaking. Terry sat me up. "Akuyo, it's going to be alright. You can get through this." I sobbed into his shoulder. "How, Ter? How?" He hugged me. "I don't know. But you will." I got up and flew to the Batcave.

"Akuyo? What happened?" Wayne asked me. "My dad. Powers......" I started crying again. He just turned around and left me alone, which is what I wanted. I just sat there and cried. Pretty soon, Terry walked in. "Oyuka?" "She's on the balcony," Wayne said. McGinis walked up behind me. "You ok?" "McGinis, my dad, my only living family, was just murdered by the one man I utterly and totally despise. How the hell do you think I am?" "Okay, I deserved that." I shook my head. "No, you didn't. You had absolutely no idea what to say in a situation like this, so you just said what seemed natural. Sorry." "I think that is the longest sentence you have ever spoken." I smiled, shakily after so much crying. "You know, you could always live with us. My mom would stop being suspicious, eventually, and we could torture Matt into keeping his mouth shut.....you could start over." I turned around. "Terry, I don't want to start over. I want to finish. Finish Powers." He looked down. "Me, too." Then he kissed me. I was shocked for a moment, and kissed back. Then I pulled away. "Ter..........." He shook his head. "I'm a little fuzzy. What just happened?" "You kissed me." He closed his eyes. "I shouldn't have done that. You were just...........so beautiful." I bit my lip. Silence settled over us. A wind started to blow. "You know....maybe staying with you wouldn't be such a bad idea......" He nodded and took me to his house.

Terry P.O.V.

When Mom heard about Oyuka's dad, she fussed over her non-stop. Even Matt had the decency to keep his mouth shut. A social worker came by, and told Oyuka that none of her family in Japan would take her in, because of her.....past. "So," finished the social worker, "I guess she'll have to stay here until we can find a foster home for her."
