Some time had passed and Cherry was in the training room to keep up to date on her fighting skills with Bruce since she had lacked in them the last time she came to visit for a while. Lionel was acting as a spectator, surveying the sparring match as it played out. Cherry soon dropped down after facing some goons and panted heavily, feeling tired now.

"So, you think you're ready to come back, huh?" Bruce asked her. "You sure have a lot more endurance than I remember."

"I grew up." Cherry replied.

"I can vouch for that." Lionel called out.

"How do you know you can still trust me?" Bruce smirked playfully to Cherry.

"I've known you since I was a stupid kid, I think I know you when I see you, Bruce Wayne." Cherry replied.

Lionel nodded with a smirk before scribbling something down on a notepad.

"You have done well," Bruce told Cherry. "Rest."

Cherry soon collapsed onto the floor, falling asleep as a joke.

"Aaaand that's all for today." Lionel noted, levitating her into the air with his finger.

"Very well, you guys are free to go." Bruce told them.

"Okay, then. See ya." Lionel replied as he left, levitating Cherry out with him.

Bruce nodded as he let them go for now until they would be called away to save Gotham City.

Lionel set Cherry down gently on the couch while he sat nearby and started watching cartoons. Cherry glanced over to the TV as she was half awake and half asleep.

"Oh. Sorry." Lionel replied as he turned down the volume so it didn't disturb Cherry's impromptu nap.

Cherry soon nodded before going back to her little nap.

Eventually, two hours came and went, and Lionel was still watching TV.

Cherry soon woke up and sat up next to Lionel. "Whatcha watchin'?" she then asked.

"Eh, I dunno. At this point I'm channel-surfing." Lionel replied.

"Hmm..." Cherry shrugged as she decided to watch with him this time since it was quiet in Gotham City right now.

Just then, Alfred entered the room. "Master Wayne requests your presences in the Batcave immediately." he explained.

Cherry and Lionel looked to each other and went to go and join him with their costumes.

Soon after they changed into their outfits, they joined Batman inside the Batboat and sped out onto the bay.

"So, where're we going?" Lady Gothika asked.

"Someone got into hot water if you know what I mean." Batman told her.

"...Not really." Bat-Mite responded, confused.

"Oh, you'll find out." Batman replied.

Bat-Mite shrugged as the boat kept on going. They soon came to some docks.

"Who's the villain today?" Lady Gothika asked.

"Two-Face." Batman replied.

"And it looks like he has a hostage." Bat-Mite added.

"Exactly." Batman nodded.

"Then let's DO something about it!" Bat-Mite replied as he snapped his fingers and vanished in a cloud of blue smoke.

"Go with him." Batman told LG.

Lady Gothika nodded and soon followed after Bat-Mite.

As Two-Face's lackeys were about to shoot the kid, a voice echoed from what seemed like nowhere.

"I am the terror that flaps in the night... I am the lump of coal that winds up in your stocking..."

"Dude... Seriously?" Another voice replied.

"I couldn't resist. I saw an opportunity and I took it! Plus I was saving that coal bit for our Christmas episode but I never got to use it," The first voice replied before going deep and dramatic once more. "I. Am. DARKWIIIIING DUCK!"

The bad guys glanced over as Lady Gothika and Bat-Mite soon appeared.

"It's the Baby Bat!" One guy pointed out to Lady Gothika.

"Baby, my RIGHT BUTTOCK!" Bat-Mite snapped. "She's all grown up and ready to throttle ya, and that goes double for me too!"

"Who are you, her boyfriend?" One of the goons laughed.

"That's none of your business, bozos," Bat-Mite retorted before he reached into his utility belt and pulled out a funky-looking pistol. "Oh, yeah: the Bat-Laser! Eat photons, mooks!" he snapped as he opened fire, shooting laser blasts wildly around the area.

The hostage soon came out.

"Over here, kid." Lady Gothika told him, taking him to safety.

"C'mon, little dude," Bat-Mite replied as he holstered his laser. "We're getting you outta here."

"Thanks," The boy said. "I wasn't scared... Much."

"Good lad." Bat-Mite urged as he and Lady Gothika hoisted him into the Batboat.

Batman soon came to take care of Two-Face and his goons while Bat-Mite and Lady Gothika took Tim to safety. During the fight, a fire broke out and Two-Face and his goons retreated.

"Let's go." Two-Face told his men.

And they ran off. Batman managed to stumble out of the flames, grab Tim, LG and BM, and was knocked into the water by the following explosion.

"Bats..." Lady Gothika frowned in concern.

The kid suddenly burst out of the water, and managed to fish Batman out of the drink. Bat-Mite then noticed the two thugs checking out the scene to make sure Batman really ended up buying the farm.

"We're sitting ducks out here..." The kid whispered.

Batman soon took a remote out of his belt to bring out his boat to get them to safety. They soon climbed into it and went to take off as Two-Face's goons spotted them and began shooting.

"Looks like I'm driving." Lady Gothika sighed to herself.

"Hey, what sez I can't drive?" Bat-Mite asked.

"Oh, well, you go on ahead then." Lady Gothika shrugged as she got out of the way for him.

"I'm not gonna derive you of a moment to shine, LG," Bat-Mite replied. "Merely a suggestion for next time."

"No, no, it's okay, you drive, I'll wait." Lady Gothika replied.

"Either way, we gotta move, NOW!" Tim panicked.

"Alright, if you say so." Bat-Mite replied as he stepped on the pedal and the boat roared to life, shooting away.

Lady Gothika looked out the window as they soon got away with Tim and Batman.

"Take us home." Batman grunted.

Bat-Mite nodded and drove the boat home.

"Whoa! Cool!" Tim smiled out of excitement.

"It gets cooler." Bat-Mite smirked as he parked the boat in the Cave.

Alfred soon came down the steps to see them coming. "Oh, dear." The butler frowned once he saw that Batman had been hurt.

"We got trouble, Alfred." Bat-Mite wheezed, lifting Batman out.

"So I see... Come along then." Alfred said as he helped them out the best that he could.

They soon came inside and Alfred began to take care of the Dark Knight who was severally injured, but was lucky to be alive.

"This really brings back memories." Cherry sighed as she looked to Robin's old uniform before he left to join the Teen Titans and then eventually became Nightwing.

"Yeah, don't it?" Lionel nodded.

"I miss Dickie sometimes..." Cherry replied. "He was like a brother to me. I almost didn't recognize him when he became a Teen Titan."

"Hm. Same here," Lionel nodded. "But... The both of 'em had a disagreement, and Richard decided that he'd be better off doing things his own way, since he believed that Batman was getting further and further away from his values."

"Tell me about it." Cherry agreed.

"Please, Master Timothy, not the explosives." Alfred said once he saw Tim pick something up.

"Yeah, maybe don't touch those, kid?" Lionel asked.

"Sorry." Tim smirked slightly as he put the explosive back.

"Kids..." Cherry rolled her eyes.

"Ugh, tell me about it..." Lionel agreed.

"Alfred?" Batman weakly called.

"Oh, thank goodness." Cherry sighed to see that Batman was still alive.

"Right here, sir," Alfred smiled. "You appeared to have suffered from quite a shot to the system."

"The boy...?" Batman grunted.

"Unfortunately, he's here, too," Alfred replied... Before seeing the boy was gone. "At least... He WAS here."

"Get outta my room, you little freak!" Cherry glared before running up the stairs.

"Yo, kid, get back here!" Lionel yelled as he ran behind her.

Tim began to explore the mansion for himself.

"Cozy..." Tim commented as he wandered in before coming to Bruce's office where there was a portrait of the late Thomas and Martha Wayne. "Wayne, huh?" he said to himself with a smirk. He looked all around to see awards for Wayne Enterprises, and even saw Cherry in some pictures with Bruce.

"Sorry you saw that." A voice said before running to him, taking him out of Bruce's office and back down to the Bat Cave.

"Hey! C'mon! Let go...!" Tim grunted as Batgirl brought him back downstairs.

"Got 'em." Cherry chuckled.

"You're welcome." Batgirl teased.

"Efficient, aren't we?" Lionel complimented.

They soon came back down with Batgirl.

"I called Batgirl right after you arrived, sir," Alfred told Batman. "Apparently not soon enough."

"I found him upstairs." Batgirl replied.

"Didn't anyone tell ya it's rude to snoop?" Lionel asked.

"Yeah, so? I know how to keep a secret!" Tim replied. 'Honest!"

Batgirl soon frisked Tim to see that he had taken a watch and some money. Tim smiled nervously to that as he stood beside Batgirl.

"Let him go." Batman decided.

"Yeah, and he better put back all the stuff he took." Lionel replied.

"Or else." Cherry added, cracking her knuckles to look intimidating.

Tim sighed, and put back the items he had taken, grumbling under his breath all-the-while.

"What did Two-Face want with you?" Batman asked the boy.

"My old man used to work for Puke-Face, but that was before he split town." Tim replied.

"And left you in his old apartment?" Lionel sighed. "What some people won't do..."

"Big deal, he was never around much anyway," Tim rolled his eyes. "But I can take care of myself." he then took out a Baterang and used it.

The Baterang soon flew around before hitting Cherry in the head, making her fall over with stars in her eyes and he soon caught it back in his hand.

"See? I found it after you cleared some bangers out of the hood." Tim smirked to Batman.

Lionel picked Cherry up. "Impressive technique... But your throw is sloppy." he remarked before dusting off Cherry's head and putting an ice pack on top of it.

Cherry looked over, a bit dazed.

"My word." Alfred commented.

"Just like Batman, no one messes with Tim Drake." Tim smirked to himself.

"So you got in a lucky shot, big deal." Lionel replied.

"Well, nobody's perfect, I guess." Tim shrugged.

Lionel just shook his head in mild annoyance. "Kids..." he sighed.

"Don't tell me you are keeping him, Bats." Cherry muttered to her godfather.

"Hmm..." Batman replied thoughtfully.

"Way to give him ideas." Lionel remarked.

"Oh, shush, like he's really going to do that..." Cherry rolled her eyes before looking over. "Erm... Bats?"

"You seem to have a history with Two-Face." Batman said to Tim.

"Yeah, I guess my old man took something that belonged to him," Tim replied as he took something out of his pocket. "Don't ask me where it is; all he left me was this."

Batman took it and glanced at it.

"What is it?" Cherry asked.

"A key of some type." Batman told her.

Batgirl took the paper and took a look. "There's an impression," she then told him before holding it out to him. "Do you recognize it?"

Batman took a quick look before answering, "Gotham Airport."

"Looks like we're about to fight on a flight!" Lionel stated.

"You got that right." Batman agreed with him.

"Well, let's go then." Lionel replied.

"Uh, can you get up?" Cherry asked Batman.

"Don't worry about me, alright? I'll be fine." Batman told her in comfort.

"Here's hoping." Lionel replied.

They soon left to the Gotham Airport to get back to work.
