"Dinah I know that you're having trouble dealing with everything right now but I need you to focus, I need your help on getting us out of here," Barbara said firmly.
"What do you need me to do?" Dinah asked pushing her feelings aside for the moment.
"Okay here's the plan..." Barbara started to say before suddenly the door flew open knocking out one of the captors.
"It's Helena," Dinah said confidently, "it has to be."
"And yet it's not," Darkstryke said before he and an unrecognizable super hero began taking out the bad guys.
"Who is that?" Barbara asked herself watching Darkstryke's partner fight.
Suddenly the unknown man turned around and Dinah and Barbara gasped to see that it was...Alfred.
"Alfred!" Dinah screamed, "How did you do that?"
"Miss Dinah there are many things that you don't know about my life before your time, and now," Alfred said untying the ropes holding Dinah to her chair.
"Darkstryke what are you doing here?" Barbara asked forgetting about Alfred for the moment.
"Barbara I there's something you need to know," Darkstryke said, "I'm your younger brother that was sent to a friend of our parents so that I wouldn't be killed when we were just children."
"What!" Barbara screamed in shock.
"Now you know how I feel," Dinah muttered under her breath.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner," Darkstryke said, "I didn't find out until just a few hours ago when dad came by and told me all about it."
"Dad?" Barbara asked, "but dad has been dead for years." "Not our real one," Darkstryke said.
"Well then who's our real dad?" Barbara asked.
"I am," Alfred, declared causing Dinah to spit out the drink that Alfred had brought her.
"So let me get this straight," Dinah, said, "you, Barbara are my mother and my father was the evil villain Firefly, you Darkstryke are my uncle, and you, Alfred are my grandfather. Are Helena and Reese the only ones we're not related to around here?"
"Actually you're related to Helena too," Darkstryke said, "She's our cousin, well your second cousin Dinah."
"Helena is our cousin!" Barbara said, "How did I not know all of this? Does Helena know? Does Reese? Does Bruce even know?"
"Master Bruce has absolutely no clue about all of this," Alfred said, "I never really found the time to tell him about it."
"Wait...why did you give us up anyway? And how are we related to Helena...like exactly?" Barbara asked.
"Your mother was Selina Kyle's sister," Alfred said, "and I gave you up because you were in danger. I had already been raising Master Bruce at the manor when your mother had you Barbara. Master Bruce being the heir to the Wayne fortune already had quite a few enemies and it was going to be a full time job. Having you around put you all in danger but your mother stayed, that is until you, my son was born. After that she just couldn't take it, so she left, I never even knew that she sent you to different families until years later."
"Who is she?" Barbara asked.
"Liana Kyle, she was a lot older than her little sister Selina, we met when she was already 30, it was love at first site for us," Alfred said recalling his former wife with a small smile, "we got married soon afterwards."
"Where is she now?" Barbara asked.
"She's dead," Alfred said, "she decided to be like her sister and became a criminal in San Francisco, she wasn't a very good one, had too much heart, she got killed about two years after she gave you kids up."
Dinah who had been sitting there quietly suddenly asked, "does this mean you're not gonna call me Miss Dinah anymore?"
"Yes I shall call you Dinah from now on my dear, sweet grand daughter," Alfred said.
"Oh god, this means I'm English," Barbara said, "I'm like you...because we're related...why didn't you tell me?"
"Are those words ringing any bells Barbara?" Dinah asked, "wait does this mean I have to call you mom, and you grandpa, and you Uncle Darkstryke?"
"Not until you're ready to," Barbara said with a smile, "and you don't need to explain Alfred-wait I mean dad, I understand."
"Sorry to interrupt this moment sis but I was just wondering...where's Helena? Shouldn't she have been here to save you?"
"Oh my god...where is Helena? She needs to know this stuff too," Barbara said.
"I'll call Reese," Dinah offered getting worried.
Five minutes later Dinah came back out, "I just talked to Reese, Helena's in the hospital."
