Unlikely Reunion
by Slugz
"She's waking up!"
She stirs into consciousness as she hear a feminine voice yelling. The pain in her head made it rather difficult for her to remember how or when she got here. The last thing she remembered was Supergirl telling her that the world is dying, and something about the past. She slowly opens her eyes to see a strange girl with white silver skin and short black hair. She was wearing some kind of black costume with a strange design to it. "How is she Toni?" She looked at were the voice had come from. Two females were followed by three other guys. She soon recognized the most of the team. "Donna, Roy, Kory, Garth?" she asked as she tried to sit up, "Are you guys real? What year is this?" Donna looked over at the Titans that stood there, which included Kory, Roy, Garth, Grant, and of course Toni. A few hours ago Kory had taken Lian outside for a little walk when all of the sudden there had been a small explosion coming from behind them. Kory took Lian to safety as quickly as she could as Donna along with Roy ran towards the explosion.
As the smoke cleared, they saw the young girl laying unconscious on the floor with a back pack sitting next to her. She had black, beautiful hair with the figure of a ballerina. She was wearing a pair of black shirt and pants with a weird logo over the front of the shirt. They took her in and examined her for any kind of injuries. After they found that she was okay, they had tried to contact Dick and Wally, but they wouldn't answer their calls. Donna looked over at the girl and for some reason she reminded her of someone, but who? "Who are you, and how do you know our names?" The young girl smiled as she said a small prayer. "Thank God," she whispered, "it worked." She looked at the shocked group. "Sorry. Now, please answer me a question and I'll answer all the one's you have. I just really need to know what year it is?" Donna looked around as Garth answered. "Why its 2001, why?" The young girl smiled as she looked over to her right. "Well, I know some of you since I did work with you. I come from an alternate dimension in the future. All of the heroes have fallen in the arms of their worst nightmare. Everyone has been killed by Jason Todd." "What?!"
They all looked at her in total surprise. Jason Todd? But Jason is dead, killed by the Joker himself? "Toni, Grant," Donna began with a low voice, "you guys mind stepping out for a while. This is kinda personal." Toni moved next to Grant who nodded as they both walked out of the room. "Let me get this straight," Roy began as he paced around the room, "your from another time in which Jason Todd, a.k.a. the second Robin, a.k.a. the one that was killed by the Joker, has killed all the super heroes??" "Killed?" the young girl asked, "but he wasn't killed by the Joker in my time. Actually he killed the Joker himself." They all received the biggest shock in their lives, Jason killed Joker?! "Okay," Garth said as he crossed his hands, "why don't you tell us a little of your history so we can know what happened?" "Ok," she said, "well, nothing big really happened until Batman died. The Joker had escaped from Arkham and began his destruction. Batman and Jason caught up to him, but it was too late. The Joker had burned down an orphanage because of some money a worker owed him or something.
Some of the workers and children were saved, but the other didn't make it. Batman went in to help get them out, but when he returned with a child or two in his hands, the Joker saw the opportunity to shoot him. One shot to the head. Jason went crazy as he came out from helping the kids as well. He fought the Joker but he was no match for him, that is until he found the gun the Joker had dropped during the battle. He shot him, and afterwards shot everyone until he ran out of slugs. He escaped with Batman's body so no one will know. He safely buried him away from Gotham. Shortly after all this, he was manipulated by Ra's al Ghul into giving him all the information Batman had on all the heroes, including how to kill them. They killed most of them, only a few survived. Then it all went to hell again as Luthor was able to set a bomb that would set off a plague that would kill a person in seconds by burning the inside of their bodies. We were able to stop him, but the cost was my brother's life. He died in combat just like he wanted."
A few tears fell as Donna sat next to her and placed her hand on the girl's shoulder. The girl calmed herself as she continued. "I was so determine to find a way to bring him back, so I found some help along with Star Labs into building a time machine. It took 2 years but it was finished. The only thing is when they tested it, they found that it sent the person or object to a different universe. For example, in my world, that is one universe where Jason is the bad guy, while in this universe he dies as a hero. Still, I didn't care, my brother was the only person I had left. My parents were killed when I was young and he looked out for me as well as my 'other' father. Well, I was about to leave when we found out that the bomb Luthor made had been found by Jason. We could've destroyed it, but that would only release the gas so that only option was to hide it. Supergirl basically forced me to use the time machine to leave, since they knew that Jason would use the bomb. She told me to save myself and to never forget them. So that's how I got here." She looked up with a small, shy smile as they all look at her in shock.
Was time travel really possible? Roy, along with Donna knew that there were ways, since Wally did tell them once about what he did. "Well," said Garth who had been quiet for some time, "can you go back?" The young girl shocked her head as she looked back down. "No, the time machine can only send me into another dimension, that's why I probably just appeared here without some kind of machine." The room was quiet until Roy suddenly though of something. "Got a question. Since you know us all, and we don't know you, care to tell us who you are? You know, hero name, real name?" She smiled as she looked over at him. "I knew I forgot something. My name is Starlight, but you can call me Lisa."

Dick was soo tired. The last 24 hours against Bane really screwed him up. Bane had escaped, unfortunately after Bruce left to a business meeting, so Nightwing was called. In the end, he defeated the giant, but the price had cost him most of his health. He had just enough strength to make it to Oracle's lair, the Clock Tower. I may have a few broken bones, he though, as well as a concussion or whatever, but at least I'm closer to Babs. He walks down the hallway until he is stopped by the commissioner. He must have come during his nap. He was dressed in a blue turtle neck sweater and black pants. "Dick, what are you doing? You should be resting." Good thing Barbara made him believe that it was Dick Grayson and not Nightwing who got injured. Jim Gordon has done so much for this city and Barbara, that Dick came to respect and love him like an uncle. Kinda like Clark, Dick though. "Its okay, sir. I really should get going now though. I have an important meeting to attend." "Oh no you don't Dick!" Dick turned to see Barbara wheeling herself into the hallway next to her father. She had told her father that should would be "resting" when she was really operating as Oracle.
Dick smiled as she looked at him. "Babs, I'm okay, really. I really need to go." She continued to stare at him in the eyes. She loves to see his blue eyes, it hypnotized her so much. She knew that he had too much of Bruce to listen. "Are you sure your fine?" Dick nodded. "Well, I guess it would be okay. Come on, I'll take you to your 'meeting'." Dick followed her after saying good bye to her father. When they reached the hummer she turned to see him as he fixed his jacket. He always had extra clothing everywhere, even in her car. "Where should I take you? And what's this meeting I keep hearing about." "Well," Dick started as he looked at her, "you can drop me off in a place called 50 Extra, its a bar that belongs to Bruce, its a hideaway made under it for us. Anyway, the meeting is really a meeting with the Titans. They have been trying to contact me for the last two, three hours. They might be in trouble." "Dick, even if there in trouble, what can you do in your new broken state?" "I'll find a way. I always do. I'll call you for our date on Friday." "What date?" "The one we're going to have."
*****
"So how are we gonna tell him all this?" Donna looked over at Roy who stood at her doorway. She had been looking forward to a nice romantic picnic with Roy, that is until Lisa came. She finished cleaning her room before she came up to Roy. He took her into his arms as she leaned forward and kissed him slightly on his cheek. "I dunno," she said in a low whisper, "we should tell Grant and Toni to take the day off. This is personal to Dick, and well, I'm not sure they should know that much about their leader." "Already taken care of," Roy said with a smile, "Jesse knows already, and Wally, Vic and Gar just got here. Garth already told them everything. They're all waiting at the conference room for Dick. How do you think he'll take it?" Donna smiled as she held Roy's hand and walked towards the conference room. "Maybe the same way we took it."
As they got closer, they could hear Dick's laughter at one of Gar's jokes. "Good thing I told them to keep him busy," Roy whispered to Donna, "that is until we're all together." "Guess we're gonna have to tell him." When they entered, they saw Gar turning himself into his famous monkey. "Enough monkey business," Donna said as she smiles, "we need to be serious for a few minutes." They all looked over at her as their laughter died down. "So what's this about? Was it really important that you had to wake me from a coma?" "You were in a coma?!" "I was just kidding Donna, dang. Well?" Roy smiled as he moved closer to him. "Look Bat-boy, we needed you here to tell you of something that has happened earlier today." They all began to sit at their places as Donna continued Roy's explanation. "Kory was with Lian outside when there was a sudden explosion. When we checked, there was a girl around the age of 17 or 18. She was dressed in all black and had a back pack with her. We examined her for any injuries, seems she is okay. Well, it turned out she is from an alternate universe."
"Universe..? You expect me to believe this?" "Sigh..look Dick, you yourself has almost married an alien, have seen the gods of Gotham, and has fought against evil like Trigon and Brother Blood. What do you think?" "Well, if you put it that way," Dick said with a big grin, "continue." "Anyway," she said with little annoyance, "in her time frame, Jason Todd has killed most of the super heroes." "What?!" Wally smiled as he noticed how surprised Dick looked like. Even in his costume you could tell. "Yeah, that's how we were. So yeah, Bruce was killed by the Joker, and Jason went mad and was brain washed by Ra's al Ghul. Then Luthor created a bomb that had a disease that would kill everyone in the world. Before all this though, Star Labs designed a time machine, so that's how she got here." Dick didn't know what to say, its was all so unbelievable. "Where is she?" "Sleeping," Roy said as he got up, "why don't we go check how she's doing?"
*****
"So this is her?" Dick looked down at the sleeping figure in Donna's bed. For some reason, she reminded her of someone close to him, but who? "That's her all right," Gar said as he moved next to her, "should we wake her up?" "Well," Jesse said as she smiled, "who wants to do the honor?" "Maybe we should let Dick wake her." "Why me?" Vic laughed at the look Dick gave Wally. How he missed hanging out with them. "Okay," Dick said with a small sigh, "I'll do it. Why not?" He gently sat on the bed and slowly shook the girl. She slowly began to open her eyes as she looked up to see the person she though she would never see again. "Dick!" She quickly sat up and gave Dick a big hug. Donna and the others laughed as Dick tried to restrain her. "Dick," Donna said, "I like you to meet Lisa Grayson, your sister."
"WHAT??!!" They all tried to sustain their laughs at the look Dick was giving. What do you expect, Wally though, getting the news that you have a sister in an alternate universe. Dick tried to calm Lisa as he felt her tears in his neck just above where his costume ended. He just couldn't believe it, he was a big brother, not just a saying like with Tim, but in actual blood. "Hold on," Dick said as he removed her arms from around him, "I still don't believe you. You might be working for someone like Bane, or Ghul or anyone who knows who I am." "Huh?" Lisa looked at Dick with tears in her eyes, both from the happiness and the sudden realization. Her brother was turning his back on her. "Wrong, short pants," Vic said as he placed an arm on Dick's shoulder, "we did a dna. test on her and it turns out she has your blood. She also had this on with her." Vic gave him some kind of folder he had been holding a few minutes ago. Dick soon recognized it as a photo album. When he opened it, his eyes almost popped out.
Pictures of himself and his family, even some with Alfred, Bruce and even Barbara. "And don't you dare say they could've done that with Photoshop, Wondy examined them closely and they are real, unless you wanna question her experience." Dick didn't know what to say, he was totally shock. "I'm a brother.." he said in a low whisper, "oh..my.." Roy couldn't stand it anymore as he sat next to Dick and placed an arm around him. "Duh, Robbie! You have a little sister." "Hey," Lisa interrupted as her anger slowly rose, "I'm not little, I can take care of myself!" "Calm down," Donna said with a sisterly smile, "you know Roy, he was just kidding." "Yeah," Lisa started, "I know, but I still hate it when people treat me like a child." "Okay," Dick finally said with some amusement, "now I KNOW she's my sister. Hey Vic, you got a copy of the dna test you did?" "Yeah, why, still don't believe us?" "No," Dick said as he smiled, "not that. I don't think Bruce or anyone else is gonna believe us."
