Egypt. In the machine room, Barbara and Lady Shiva continue to hide while the two Silver Brothers leave to find Quicksilver.
In the main room, Harley, Joker, Penguin, Two Face, Clayface, Riddler, and Scarecrow are talking softly. The two Silver Brothers enter and see the villains.
"You may go. Quicksilver, Talia, and Ra's Al Ghul won't be back for awhile." said Joker.
The two Silver Brothers nod, and walk out.
"I wonder where Lady Shiva is." said Harley.
"Probably trying to finish off the former Batgirl." said Joker.
South America. Vines surround the cars, and throw them far away. Bruce, Tim, Selena, and Carolyn run from them.
"Poison Ivy?" asked Ra's Al Ghul.
Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze walk out.
"We couldn't let you have all the fun. Besides Mr. Freeze talked me into coming back with you. Quicksilver can take our things over later." said Poison Ivy.
"Now that they are here, you will take Talia back to Egypt. I can't let the detective and his allies hurt her." said Ra's Al Ghul.
Quicksilver vanished with Talia.
Egypt. Quicksilver and Talia appeared. Talia, furious, walked into the conference room to talk with the others.
Machine room. Quicksilver see his two brothers, and joins them in the room. He sees the machine. Lady Shiva and Barbara push him into the device, and gag him so he won't scream. Then activated the device, which turned him good. Lady Shiva removed the gag, and released him.
"We've got problems right now. Take us to New Gotham." said Barbara.
"Right." said Quicksilver.
The three Silver Bros, Lady Shiva, and Barbara joined hands as the doors burst open. Clayface, Harley Quinn, Joker, Talia, Penguin, Riddler, Scarecrow, and Two Face stood there.
"What are you doing?" asked Joker.
"Leaving." said Barbara, who automatically falls to the ground.
"It wore off." said Lady Shiva.
Quicksilver grabbed Barbara into his arms. Lady Shiva touches his right shoulder, while the other two Silver Brothers touch his right shoulder. The group vanishes, leaving a group of angry, and annoyed villains.
New Gotham. Clock tower. Lady Shiva, Barbara, Quicksilver, and his two brothers appear. Lady Shiva drags out a wheelchair, and they place Barbara in it.
"Thank you for your help." said Barbara.
"I'm not going back to jail. I'm going to do some good for this world, and I know I can't do it in jail." said Lady Shiva.
"We'll come with you." said Quicksilver.
"Good luck, my friends. And be careful. Joker and his allies may try to search for you." said Barbara.
"Don't worry. I put a bomb on it, after we got Quicksilver out of it. It should be blowing up just about now." said Lady Shiva.
Egypt. Everyone had left the room, except for Harley Quinn, and Talia.
"At least the machine is still intact." said Talia.
Harley Quinn's eyes grow wide.
"Harley Quinn?" asked Talia.
"It's a bomb. It's going to go off in five seconds." said Harley Quinn.
The two women raced for the door, and ran outside as the machine exploded hurling them down the hall. Joker and the others came running.
"Batgirl set a trap for us. She was going to kill us, along with her, if it took to stop us. All she did was destroy the machine." said Harley Quinn.
"And it was one of a kind. My father killed its inventor." said Talia.
"Then I say it is time we paid a visit back to New Gotham, after we make a pit stop at Mexico to finish off some old friends." said Joker, laughing.
The group walked out to gather their things, since the bomb also damaged much of the base, and the Lazarus pool. four hours later, Joker, Talia, Penguin, Two Face, Riddler, and Scarecrow board an airplane headed for Mexico.
Mexico. The group gets off, and headed for the hospital. They heard the explosions, and ran behind it to see Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, and Ra's Al Ghul still searching for the others, who had gone into hiding.
"Mind if we join the party? Batgirl got the Silver Brothers and Lady Shiva on her side by using the machine, and then destroyed it, and our headquarters. Now we finish off the bat and his friends, and then take care of the others in New Gotham." said Joker.
"Then let's finish this." said Poison Ivy.
The villains continue searching for the others.
In the forest, behind the hospital, Bruce, Tim, Selena, and Carolyn are resting from a long run.
"We're close enough to the border." said Bruce.
"Where are we?" asked Carolyn.
"Just below Texas. I think we can cross here, legally." said Bruce.
Selena changed out of her Catwoman costume, and back into regular clothes. Bruce, Tim, Selena, and Carolyn walk to the booth, and show him their identification.
"We were kidnapped by Joker. He returned to Gotham, a couple months ago. We escaped on a plane, which crashed in South America. Half of its crew and the captain are still in Mexico, they'll be trying to cross soon. But Joker and other villains who have attacked New Gotham will also try to cross. You better have many police officers here to make sure who isn't a criminal." said Bruce.
"I'll do that." said guard.
The four heroes walked into the town. There they board a plane for New Gotham, a little excited to finally see their family again.
Mexico. Joker and the others realize they've been tricked by now.
"Let's go to Gotham. If they're close by, they'll go too. We can take care off all of them in one full swoop." said Joker.
"Good idea." said Ra's Al Ghul.
Clayface, Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, Riddler, Scarecrow, Penguin, Talia, Ra's Al Ghul, and Two Face walk to the airport, and board a plane for New Gotham.
"Don't worry, detective. We'll be there to give you a homecoming you'll never forget." said Ra's Al Ghul.
At the clock tower, Alfred, Dinah, and Helena walk in to see Barbara at Delphi. Behind her is the three Silver Brothers and Lady Shiva.
"Barbara?" asked Dinah.
"Dinah, Helena, Alfred. Good to see you again." said Barbara.
"What's going on?" asked Helena.
"It turns out Helena, Lady Shiva, your friend, is the sister of the real Lady Shiva, the one I fought. I killed the real Lady Shiva that night. Your friend was wearing the Lady Shiva costume that night. I never noticed how young she looked. She must have been about fifteen then." said Barbara.
"Yes. It was the year before my mother died, and you were shot." said Helena.
"Well she fell into a machine, and it removed her revenge. The machine turns bad metas into good metas, and good metas into bad metas. It goes the same for people. The three Silver Brothers had been kidnapped, and were the first test subjects." said Barbara.
"What about Master Bruce, and the others?" asked Alfred.
"They're on their way back." said a voice.
They looked back to see Dick walking out of the open elevator. Dick runs to Barbara, and hugs her. Dinah, Helena, and Alfred also hug her.
"It's good to have you back." said Dinah.
"It's good to be back." said Barbara.
"What do you mean they're on their way?" asked Barbara.
"The Teen Titans, Justice League, and I have been searching. I've been leading the Teen Titans, during Robin's absence." said Dick.
"That means that they're coming home." said Barbara.
"Yes." said Dick.
"That's great." said Dinah.
"I also ran into someone else." said Dick.
They looked back to see that the elevator had already gone down, and come up. The doors open, and out steps Green Arrow.
"Ollie, what are you doing here?" asked Barbara.
"I was helping Dick and the others look for Batman and the others. And Carolyn sent me a letter, saying that Dinah was our daughter, and that she was afraid the superhero life was hurting her, so she gave her up for adoption. Last year, she heard of what the Redmans had done to you. She had been working for the FBI, and had been out of the country a lot. If she had known about what the Redmans were doing, she would have come sooner." said Oliver/Green Arrow.
"Wait? Back up. You're my father." said Dinah.
"Yes." said Oliver.
Dinah ran up and hugged him. Oliver hugs back.
"She sent another letter saying she heard you had run away, and had come here to New Gotham, and then I heard Al Hawke had killed her, and was thrown in jail a week later. I was busy doing other superhero things at the time to come, but when I was finally free, Superman came to me, and told me that Carolyn, Selena, Bruce, and Tim were alive, and had been in Egypt all this time. This was about two weeks ago. I've been searching with him and the others ever since." said Oliver/Green Arrow.
"Then we've got work to do." said Barbara.
Barbara returned to the Delphi, while Dinah and Oliver walked out to the balcony to talk. Helena watched them go, and sighs.
"You know. It's going to be hard to forgive him, even though you know it wasn't true. You've thought for all these years that your mother was killed that night, and that your father abandoned you." said Barbara.
"Yeah, well I don't want a happy ever after ending. I just want my mom back." said Helena.
Barbara hugged Helena, who wiped her tears before anyone saw them.
"Don't worry. They'll be back here before you know it." said Barbara.
"You're right. We have to plan a homecoming party." said Helena.
"You're right. Let' s go." said Barbara.
The three Silver Brothers fell asleep on the sofas. Lady Shiva fell asleep in an arm chair. Barbara and Helena smiled, and saw Dinah and Oliver talking.
"I hope he doesn't hurt her." said Helena.
"I know." said Barbara.
"What do you mean?" asked Helena.
"Ollie doesn't take to responsibility very well. Besides being Green Arrow, I mean. It's just the way he was brought up." said Barbara.
"Let me guess. He was rich, too?" said Helena.
"Yes. He's had a hard life. He told me this story tons of times. He fell off a ship, and landed on a island. To survive, he taught himself archery. When he was rescued, he was different. He wasn't the same rich man, and yet he is a lot like Bruce, in some ways. He became Green Arrow to help others, while using his talent of archery." said Barbara.
"Like I said before, he better not hurt her if he knows what is good for him." said Helena.
Barbara smiled then returned to the Delphi.
New Gotham. Airport. Bruce, Selena, Carolyn, and Tim get off the plane. They get into a cab, and go to Wayne manor. Harley Quinn, Joker, Ra's Al Ghul, Talia, Clayface, Penguin, Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, Two Face, Scarecrow, and Riddler get off the plane, and walk away to Harley's psychiatrist office to hide out for awhile.
Wayne manor. A cab pulls up, and drives away. Tim, Carolyn, Bruce, and Selena walk up to the door, and Bruce opens it. They step inside, and look around.
"Alfred?" asked Bruce.
"Where is he?" asked Tim, closing the door.
"He must be at the clock tower with Barbara, Helena, and Dinah." said Carolyn.
"Then we better go to them after we eat." said Bruce.
The group walked into the kitchen, and began making dinner. An hour later, they heard the door open, and close. They heard footsteps walking towards them, and all get into fighting positions just in case. Alfred walked into the kitchen, and the group gave a sigh of relief.
"You're back." said Alfred.
"Yes, and this time, we're going to raise our children right." said Bruce.
"Maybe not. We may end up having to save our children." said Selena's voice from another room.
The group walked out to see the TV turn on.
"Plants in the park are acting on their own, attacking many people, trying to kill them. And in another part of the city, there is snow all over the ground, ice all over the roads. That wouldn't be a problem if it weren't the middle of May. Are these two occurrences related? Are the infamous Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze back? Have they returned from their six years in hiding? Only time will tell. This is Jack Conway, Gotham News." said Jack.
Selena turned the TV off, as Bruce, Tim, Carolyn, and Alfred all share worried glances.
"It looks like Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze didn't waste anytime." said Bruce.
"Which means they're back. They could all be back." said Selena.
"Then it's time we paid a visit to the clock tower." said Bruce.
Bruce walked over to the clock, and turns it to 10:47. The clock opens up, and the group descends down the stairs, while Alfred closes it up, and left to make his own dinner. Tim and Bruce change into their Batman and Robin costumes. Selena walks into a private area, and changes into Catwoman.
"Now, let's go." said Carolyn.
The four heroes get into the Batmobile, and jet out of the Batcave, towards New Gotham.
