"Mommy, please one more song," plead their almost two year old daughter.
"Dae, you said that three songs ago. Time for bed my little princess," her father said, tucking her into bed. He placed a kiss on her forehead and her mother did the same. They said their good nights to her, and then walked to the door.
"Mommy, daddy, I love you," her mother walked over to her and gave her another kiss.
"I love you, too. Now sleep, my little sun and stars." Her mother then walked back to her father. He turned off the lights and closed the door. Dae fell into a peaceful sleep almost instantly.
Dae was awaken a few hours later by someone coming into her room. She thought it was her mother coming to tell her that she and father had to go to work for a while.
"Mommy, what-", someone placed their hand over her mouth. Dae was scared. She bit her attacker's fingers. To her surprise to was metal, the robot moved it's hand from her mouth.
"DADDY! Help!" Her father heard her screams and blurred to her room. He saw someone trying to take her. He ran to the person and punched them with almost full strength, causing Dae to fall out it's arms. He was shocked when he saw the skin peeling off to revile metal. Before he could attack the robot again, it pulled out a piece of kryptonite. Dae has never been exposed to kryptonite before, his number one priority was to get her away from it.
Dae tried flying towards her father but could barely get up. She saw her father coming towards her with somewhat of a limp.
Before he could reach her, the robot came back and picked her up. Dae tried punching his head but she felt pain for the first time in her life. She let out of cry of pain, "Mommy!"
A second later her mother appeared in her room. She rushed to her daughter only to be met by an iron clad fist. She landed next to her husband, who wasn't looking any better. She tried to get rid of the kryptonite, but she began to feel faint.
Dae saw her parents on the ground, neither one of then getting up. "Mommy! Daddy! Help!"
Diana saw the girl before her, toss and turn in the bed. She looked so peaceful just a few minutes ago. Diana tried to wake her to no avail. She held the girl's hand. Diana could feel how strong the girl was when she squeezed her hand.
"Ahh!" cried the girl as she sat up. Diana saw lasers fire from her eyes. The girl brought her hands to her eyes and began to rub them. Diana went to the girl's side.
"Are you alright?" The girl removed her hands from her face. She looked at Diana for a while before nodding yes. "What's your name?"
"Da-Danielle," she said as focused her eyes Diana's features. She brought her hand up to touch her cheek, "Mommy?" Danielle whispered. Diana felt her heart drop. She brought her hand up to touch Danielle's.
"Yes, my little sun and stars," they pulled each other into a tight embrace. Danielle clung on to Diana, as she stroked her hair. "I've missed you so much Danielle," Diana said. They then pulled apart.
"Umm, are you okay?" Diana looked at Danielle with a puzzled looked, "When the man hit you, you had a lot of broken bones but it looks like they all healed."
That's why she attacked Kal. "Yes, Danielle, I am. Do you know who that man is?" She said while looking at Kal. Danielle glanced at him then shocks her head. Before Diana could tell her who he was the bay doors opened revealing Batman.
"Diana, I got the results back from the tests. Do you mind if we speak in private?"
"Of course," Diana said as she back to stand. She felt something pull her back down. She looked at Danielle, "What's wrong?"
"I don't want you to go," she said looking down. Diana sat next to the girl.
"I promise I'll be right back," Diana said to her.
"You promise?"
"Yes," Danielle nodded then let go of Diana's arm. Diana got up and left the room with Batman following.
Diana turned to face Bruce once the bay doors were closed.
"She is your daughter." Bruce stated.
"I know," Diana said with a small twinkle in her eyes. "She remembers me."
"But not Clark," Bruce said to which Diana nodded.
"We need to find out what she's been thought. She clearly has control over her power and was able to out maneuver Clark," he stated.
"I know, I should be the one to question her. She needs to be moved before Kal wakes up."
"Agreed, I'll set up a holding place for her."
"I thought it best if she was in her room." Bruce nodded.
"I'll send in a bot to clean up the place."
"There is no need for that, but thank you." Diana had kept up Danielle's room in hope she might return. She and Kal used to together but he stopped some years ago.
"Very well, I will see you when Clark awakens." He then turned and left the hall.
Diana walked back into the medical bay to see Danielle hugging her knees. Diana walked over to sit beside her.
"You came back," Danielle said sounding surprised.
"I promised you I would and a Princess always keeps her promise." Danielle smiled at her, "How about we go to your room and talk some more there." Diana stood up and held her hand out, which Danielle gladly took.
