They had both been sitting on the roof for a few minutes now.

"I found moth. You like insects right?" said Terry, in an attempt to break the silence.

Luna just grunted.

"Maybe you're a fruit bat?" ironically, Batman didn't know much about bats, not as much as Bruce. Then Terry noticed that she was staring at something behind him. Terry wasn't sure because those blind eyes had no pupils.

"Luna? What's wrong?" nothing really seemed to bother her.

Suddenly her wings opened and she pounced.

"OW! You bitch!" Terry growled as he gave Luna a shove. Her teeth sunk deeper into his shoulder. "I can't believe you did that!" He really couldn't. He didn't think her teeth could piece that thick suit of his, but now he was bleeding. "Thanks a lot, Luna; you just got blood on the suit."

Sensing his anger, Luna turned away and flew, her massive white wings like a white blanket covering the sky.


"Where did you get that from?" said Bruce, pointing to the large puncture marks on Terry's shoulder.

"Do you know what your giant bat did to me?" said Terry, "She bit me, Bruce."

Walking in on all fours, Luna shot Terry a look that almost seemed apologetic.

"For once, Bruce, you seem surprised."

"She never bit me." said Bruce, "I don't know what it is, but somehow her relationship with you is different…"

"Yeh, you told me."

"Did she drink any of your blood?"

"I don't know!" said Terry, "I don't feel drowsy or anything. If she did, I don't think she got much. Ow!"

"Hold still. Hopefully this won't need stitches…" Bruce tied a bandage around Terry's shoulder to stop the bleeding.

"What makes you think she has a better connection with me? You were the original." said Terry, "Besides, she bit me!"

"I don't know." said Bruce. "But the best way to get inside Luna's mind is her cave."

"Her cave? In the cliff miles away from Gotham?"

"I've been in that cave, Terry. I saw paintings. Most of them I didn't understand, but if you can make anything of them, all your questions will be answered."


Luna flew him over the ocean.

"Are you sure you know where you're going?" said Terry.

Luna answered with a chirp. Her massive white wings were casting an eerie reflection in the water.

"Just be careful, Terry. You don't know what is out there." said Bruce through the COM link.

"Yeh, I know. Bad guys. Jokers. Right Luna?"

Luna responded with another chirp, recognizing the word 'Joker'.


Inside the cave was quite dark, but Batman had a light.

"So what exactly is this answer to all my questions?" Terry flashed the light down the tunnels of the cave.

"Right above you." said Bruce.

"Where I don't see any…Whoa…" as Terry looked up he saw that the roof had been covered with paintings, "Who painted those?"

Luna chirped.

Terry squinted, trying to make out the images. He saw three white shapes. One seemed to be smaller. They were all bat shaped.

"Your family?" said Terry, "There are more of you?"

Luna looked up at her paintings, then back at Terry.

The next one was the same three bats, but there was a second figure, a purple one. The two bigger ones were now a little far away from the little one.

The third was the small bat sitting alone. It seemed sad.

"Your life story huh?" said Terry, "Your parents were killed, just like Bruce."

Luna grunted.

"Just like me. My father died. I guess we three are alike in so many ways."

Terry looked up at the other side of the roof. The next chapter in Luna's story. A reoccurring image of an odd shaped black bat, and the strange purple figures. But Terry found it difficult to make out the strange black bat.

"Batman?" he said, "The Black one is Bruce?"

She dipped her head as if she were nodding.

"Wow, perfect likness and everything..."


As they returned, a storm began to form in the sky.

"Looks like a storm, Terry. Be careful." said Bruce.

Terry clung to Luna's thick fur, "Don't worry, we'll be fine."

Luna chirped again. But then she swerved. Something was bothering her.

"What's the matter girl?" said Terry.

Purple.

"Purple?" said Terry, "What do you mean by purple? You mean those purple things on the roof of your cave?"

Luna screamed as she was hit by something.

"What was that?"

More things began flying at them. Terry grabbed one. Thank you quick reflexes.

It was a purple arrow.

"Someone's firing at us!"

"The Jokabra clan…" said Bruce, "Get away from there, now!"

"The what clan?"

Along the cliff edges he saw people dressed in purple cloaks. They all had weapons.

Luna was hit again.

"Luna watch out!"

Before he knew it, they were plummeting into the ocean.


I gasped as I returned to the surface. It was raining as I dragged myself onto the beach. I looked around for Luna, but couldn't find her. I called her a few times, but couldn't see her. I did hear her calling me though. I felt that she was close. Bruce had always told me that when Luna was around, I was to always trust my feelings. We had to get back to Gotham, Back to Bruce. He would know more about the, what was it? The Jokabra clan?

Without thinking, I was in the air. It was a weird sensation. I couldn't see Luna at all. I couldn't see anything! But for some reason I knew where I was…


There was a crash coming from the room above the Batcave.

"Terry? Is that you?" said Bruce.

A white figure flew down and landed in front of him.

"Luna? Where's Terry?"

Luna looked at him as if he was an idiot. She frowned and shrieked angrily. She didn't seem like Luna at all. Bruce could feel her, but he felt someone else's presence. Her personality had changed. He recognized the personality quirks of…

"Terry?" Bruce picked up a mirror.

Luna took the mirror hesitantly. Her blind eyes squinted as she gazed at the reflection. Then her eyes widened.

"That's right, Terry, you're in Luna's body."

Terry gave Luna's sad chirp.

"Don't be afraid Terry. This has happened before. All you have to do is find your dead body."

Terry frowned. Bruce knew exactly what Terry would say.

Dead body? But that would be on the bottom of the ocean by now! How long can a bat hold its breath?
