Terry P.O.V.

Oyuka looked down. "In all honesty, I'd rather stay in Gotham."

The social worker nodded. "Of course." She and my mom went into the kitchen to talk. I looked at the floor. "You okay? With sleeping on the rock, I mean?" She looked at me, confused. "Rock?" I pointed to the couch cushion. "Oh." Silence. We just sat like that for a while. Then, suddenly, she said, "I'm acting like an idiot." She laid her face in her hands. I shook my head. "No, you're not." "Yes, I am! Daddy would smack me if he knew I was sitting here, crying over what can't be helped." "Hey, when my dad died, I cried. Hell, I bawled. I know how you feel, and it's alright to cry." She sniffed. "I guess you're right." She smiled at me, a little. "Thanks." I shrugged. "No big."

After school, I ran by the house and asked if she wanted to come to Wayne's with me. "Yeah. I need to look up some stuff." We rode in silence. When we reached the Batcave, I left. She used the Batcomputer to look something up.



Oyuka P.O.V.

"What, exactly, are you reasearching?" Terry's voice came over the com. "Stuff." He fell into an indignant silence. I continued typing on the massive keyboard, looking through Bruce's files. "Damn......damn.........damn..........shit!" "You have a wide vocabulary." "Get stuffed, McGinis." "What's wrong?" "I thought Bruce's files would have something on Pow.....what I'm looking for." "You got it halfway out. What are you looking for?" I sighed. "Stuff on Power's son. I can't exterminate Powers, so I'll get his son." "Seems reasonable to-slaggit!" "Terry?" "It's Inque!" Through Cowl-Vision (tm) I saw a massive black blob strike out at Terry, again and again. (a/n:I know Inque was "destroyed" by her daughter, but Inque cannot die! Inque is the coolest villan on BMB! Inque should have her own show!! Well, maybe not, but Inque is still schway! omg, I'm using their lingo! **goes to douse herself in cold water**) I jumped up and changed into Akuyo, then flew out to help him.

It wasn't hard to find him. Inque was battling Batman in the street! *Terry? You still alive?* I thought-spoke, lest Inque hear me. *Yeah, barely. You planning on helping or what?* I focused, entering Inque's mind. Before I could penetrate, she wrapped Terry with one tentacle and squeezed. Terry yelled in pain. I concentrated harder. I reached the core of her mind and started to attack it, putting pressure on that spot. She cried out, dropping Terry and transforming to her human form. "What are you doing?" Inque screamed, clutching her head. As she lost consiousness, so did I.



Terry P.O.V.

I checked myself, then ran to Akuyo. She was unconsious. Probably the strain on her mind. "Come on, Akuyo...." I activated the Batmoblie. When it appeared, I lifted Akuyo into the back and flew to the Batcave.
