Lady Gothika soon straightened out her hair and then put her hood back on which was also her mask. And Bat-Mite put on his cowl and cape, as well as his whole suit. They soon came to the roof and looked by the lockers.

"Here they come." Lady Gothika said once she saw Two-Face coming with two of his goons.

"Then let's go too." Lionel smirked.

"Whenever you two are ready, I'm down with you." Batman replied.

The two nodded and they soon ambushed Two-Face and his goons. Two-Face soon hijacked a baggage cart and drove off, with Batman in hot pursuit. As Two-Face saw them following, he pulled out his gun and began shooting.

"Why do they always wanna do it the hard way?" Lady Gothika shook her head to that.

Batman soon kicked down a couple of goons and Batgirl knocked one down about to shoot with a cart. Lady Gothika soon stomped towards Two-Face, hiding any fear that she had so she could deal with him properly. Two-Face was about to shoot at her, but he was out of bullets. Lady Gothika seemed to smirk to that. Two-Face soon took what he had and ran away and she began to chase after him. Batman was about to join her, but he was pinned under the overturned baggage train, which was in the path of a landing plane. Luckily he managed to use his grappler to grab the side of the plane and pull himself free, narrowly avoiding getting crushed. Bat-Mite glanced over as Lady Gothika went off.

"I can't let her go alone... She's too young..." Batman frowned to his goddaughter.

"Hey, she's more than capable," Bat-Mite replied, before looking away. "Even more-so than you realize..."

"Are you sure?" Batman asked, uneasily.

"Trust me. I KNOW," Bat-Mite nodded. "Oh, hey, there she is now!"

"You won't get away with this, you miscreant." Lady Gothika snarled towards Two-Face, but he was already gone, and he had the bag with him.

"Gothy... Are you okay?" Batman asked the girl once she came back.

"I'm fine, but Two-Face got away with the stuff..." Lady Gothika sighed.

"Might as well get Batgirl and head back to HQ." Bat-Mite advised.

"All right then, let's get going." Batman replied.

Lady Gothika soon walked off with them as she looked unharmed for once.

And so, back in the Batcave, Batman was using the Batcomputer while the others stood by.

"I think I ID'd his father," Batman said, referring to Tim. "Steven 'Shifty' Drake."

"Burglary... Robbery... Grand Theft?" Batgirl frowned.

"It started when he was a kid," Batman replied. "A real hard luck case."

"Just like his son..." Lionel noted.

"You looking for sympathy?" Batman replied.

"From you?" Batgirl smirked. "Heaven forbid."

"Huh... Apparently they found a John Doe in Metropolis' rivers with prints that match his old man's..." Lionel noted.

"Yes, it appears so..." Batman agreed with him.

"That means he's never coming back," Tim spat as he was soon there. "My old man, he's gone for good. That's what a John Doe means, right?"

"Why aren't you asleep?" Lady Gothika scolded.

"For your information, I had a nightmare, Miss Know-it-all." Tim retorted.

Lady Gothika glared.

"He was never going to come back to me anyway," Tim said with tears in his eyes. "He was too scared."

Batman approached the boy, and got down on eye-level. "Of what? What did he take from Two-Face, and why did he hide it?" he asked.

"Hey, if I knew, I'd tell ya." Tim shrugged.

"Excuse me, sir," Alfred announced from the staircase. "But there's something on television you might find enlightening."

Batman soon came to his computer and changed the screen to the television screen to show Two-Face.

"Great." Lady Gothika glared.

"Attention, people of Gotham City; I've got a simple equation for you!" Two-Face growled, flicking his trademark coin. "1+1=Armageddon! When these liquids are mixed together, they create a nasty gas. Unless I receive $22,000,000 by two minutes, there will be only two kinds of citizens in Gotham: the dying, and the dead."

"Clever AND stupid," Lionel commented. "A new high AND a new low in the same night."

"He wouldn't..." Batgirl frowned.

"That's what his father thought; we've got to find Two-Face." Batman replied.

"I might know where he is." Tim spoke up.

"I bet you do." Lady Gothika glared at first.

"Hold it," Lionel replied. He then turned to Tim. "If so, can you tell us?" he asked calmly.

"The old Janus Movie Theater," Tim replied. "I followed my old man there once when he was working for old Puke-Face."

Batman then looked to his 'extended family'. "Come on."

Lady Gothika nodded as she and the others ran for the Batmobile. Lionel changed into Bat-Mite and climbed aboard.

"I wanna come with." Tim said as he came to see them.

"No. It's too dangerous." Batman told him.

"I get that you have a personal stake in this, but you'd just be a liability." Bat-Mite replied.

"And I said no." Batman said before shutting out Tim so that they could leave.

"Pedal to the metal." Bat-Mite nodded as they sped out.

Tim looked a bit grumpy as he was being singled out like this.

"Don't take it personally; Master Bruce was never one for debate." Alfred commented.

Tim glared before being escorted upstairs and looked to the old Robin costume.

"It used to make Master Dick furious... Most unfortunate." Alfred sighed from the memories.

As soon as Tim saw it, his eyes widened.

As the others made it to the movie theater, they were met with guards as Two-Face's patience grew very thin. "Idiots..." he growled. "They've had their two-minute warning. Get the masks."

They soon went to get ready for their next move. They soon heard grunting and fighting.

"What was that?" A goon wondered.

"He's here." Two-Face growled knowingly.

"Ooh, ding-ding-ding, give the man with the horribly-scarred face a prize!" Bat-Mite's voice rang out in an impression of a game show host.

"It's my fists in his two faces!" Lady Gothika added, posing like Vana White before lunging out.

"Ooh, now there's a million-dollar prize!" Bat-Mite smirked.

"Blast 'em both!" Two-Face ordered, and the goons took out their guns.

Batman soon tossed some crates which made the goons run off while shooting their guns. One thug tried to run off, but Batgirl swung down and kicked him, sending him flying across the room. Lady Gothika was seen fighting independently, dodging more than just bullets. Bat-Mite was frequently getting shot, but he just bounced the bullets back at the goons.

"How does he do that?" Batgirl asked.

"5th Dimension! That kinda thing is normal there," Bat-Mite explained. "All its inhabitants are like living, breathing cartoon characters!"

"Hmm... Interesting." Batgirl commented.

"I'll tell you more later." Lady Gothika said to her.

They soon went back to fighting Two-Face's goons which was a lot easier than they thought it would be.

"These guys are goin' down easy!" Bat-Mite chuckled.

"Maybe I have grown up a bit." Lady Gothika smirked.

"Same here!" Bat-Mite added.

"Hm..." Batman gave a small smirk to both Lady Gothika and Bat-Mite.

Two-Face growled. "Too late, Bats...better find another gas mask..." he remarked as he put on a gas mask and started shooting around the room.

A new partner in crime was coming to help.

"Saiyaman, if you're here to interrupt, so help me, I'll-" Lady Gothika glared until she saw who it was. "You're not Saiyaman..."

"Hope I haven't missed out on all the fun." Tim smirked to her.

"Holy legacy, Batman!" Bat-Mite exclaimed.

"I thought you guys could use some help." Tim smirked.

"From you?" Lady Gothika replied, feeling unsure about that.

"Hey, alright. If you can do it, then I say go for it!" Bat-Mite shrugged.

Lady Gothika was unsure about this.

"Don't mind if I do." Tim smirked as he came to help out as the new Robin.

"Aw, yeah!" Bat-Mite whooped as Tim kicked a goon in the face.

Lady Gothika's eyes widened slightly as Tim proved to be stronger and more loyal as a fighter than he appeared to be.

He chucked a pair of film reels at Two-Face. "Figured it's your kinda film experience, Puke-Face: a double-feature!" Tim remarked.

Gunfire soon shot out.

"Get down!" Lady Gothika yelped before ducking down, conjuring up a bubble shield.

Tim was soon knocked over the head with a crowbar and grabbed by Two-Face. "Been a long time, bird boy." Two-Face smirked.

"Let the kid go, Two-Face!" Batman growled.

"Make one move and I wring his feathered little neck," Two-Face remarked. "Not that it'll matter in a minute."

"They'll have plenty of time!" Tim grunted before tossing a Baterang.

Everyone dodged the Baterang as it flew all around the room. It soon sliced some ropes at the top and Tim dodged out of the way as a goon was getting up from the floor.

"Way to go!" Bat-Mite grinned.

Tim smiled to that as he showed how helpful he could be sometimes. Batman soon walked towards Two-Face and they started to fight with hand-to-hand combat. Batgirl remembered the bomb and went to disable it. Two-Face snarled and soon grabbed a wooden board only for Batman to whack against him into the crates. Lady Gothika went to join Batgirl to make sure that this would work. As the timer ticked down past 10, Bat-Mite just took the side wires and yanked them out, causing the machine to shut down.

"Hmph." Batgirl pouted to Bat-Mite.

"Complex problems sometimes require simple solutions." Bat-Mite shrugged.

"Hmm... I guess so." Batgirl replied.

"Try saying that in my mid-terms in college." Lady Gothika rolled her eyes.

"That's different, also dumb." Bat-Mite replied.

"Either way, Gotham City is safe." Batgirl smiled to them both.

"Yup." Bat-Mite nodded.

"Anyway, can we go home now?" Batgirl asked Batman.

Batman hid a small smirk to that.

"Yeah!" Tim whooped. "We did it, we aced 'em! I set 'em up, and you knocked 'em down!"

"Right on!" Bat-Mite replied.

Batman gave a stoic look to Tim.

"Right, Batman?" Tim smiled before seeing that.

"He's in trouble~" Lady Gothika smirked in a singsong way.

Tim soon groaned out of misfortune as Batman shot him a look.

"Aaaand the Bat...is pissed." Bat-Mite sighed. "Good luck, kiddo."

"Yep, you'll need it." Lady Gothika added.

Later on, they soon went back home and uncostumed as it was time for some training, martial arts wise. For once, Lionel had to take part instead of being a spectator. Cherry seemed to be taking another glass of bourbon to take some edge off as she watched them.

"I really think you oughta cut down on the bourbon." Lionel advised.

"It's just one glass, that's all." Cherry replied.

"Sure, that's how it starts," Lionel replied. "I just don't want you to make a huge mistake."

"I'll be fine, really, it's just one drink." Cherry said to him.

Even Alfred looked unsure about that, but he didn't say anything to upset Cherry.

"If you say so." Lionel replied.

Bruce and Tim were soon practicing together as Tim was going to be the newest member of the Bat Family.

"You work with me, Tim, you follow the rules," Bruce told the boy. "Rule #1: You give me everything you've got. Rule #2: Then you give me more. And Rule #3: I make the rules."

"Ah, that brings back memories." Cherry commented.

"Yup." Lionel nodded.

"Watch out for that last one, kid," A voice smirked. "It's a killer."

"Huh?" asked Lionel.

The others soon looked over and beamed once they saw who this was.

"Dickie?" Cherry asked.

"It's Dick, I believe I've told you multiple times." Dick replied to her.

"He-hey, Robin Classic!" Lionel smirked.

"No one can stay a Boy Wonder forever." Dick smirked back as he came to see them.

"Great to see ya!" Lionel waved.

"It's nice to see you too," Dick replied. "Man, this brings back a lot of memories, huh?"

Cherry soon hugged Dick which surprised Tim to see a positive emotion out of the perky goth.

"Sure does!" Lionel replied with a grin. "I made chicken lasagna, too!"

"That sounds great, mind if I stay for dinner?" Dick smirked as he hugged Cherry back.

"Sure!" Lionel replied.

"Well, she seems happy." Tim said to Bruce about Cherry.

"Cherry and Dick were always like brother and sister during our adventures altogether." Bruce replied.

"Heh, no kidding," Lionel nodded. "I figured that out a while after I came here."

"How're the Titans?" Cherry asked Dick.

"Oh, same old, same old," Dick replied. "I see them once in a while. I'm just glad Cyborg got to fulfill his dream of joining The Justice League."

"Good for him." Lionel nodded.

"Tell me about it." Dick nodded.

"What about you and Starfire?" Cherry smirked to him slightly.

"Well...I...uh..." Dick coughed sheepishly.

"Yeeees?" Cherry smirked to him.

"I thought that was a different continuity?" Lionel asked.

"My adventure life has a confusing continuity." Cherry replied.

"Whatever..." Lionel shrugged.

Eventually, they sat down to have some dinner with their guest.

"So...and the verdict is...?" Lionel asked.

"I don't trust Cherry to keep it a secret, so I'm not saying anything." Dick smirked.

"I meant about my food," Lionel replied. "I'm asking opinion-wise."

"Oh, I see," Dick said. "This is amazing, Lionel. Where'd you learn how to cook?"

"Well, when you're ostracized and hated by every other member of your species, you have plenty of spare time," Lionel replied casually. "No friends or appointments meant no distractions from learning stuff like this."

"Hm... I see," Dick replied. "You ever meet Bobby Flay?"

"Don't tease us." Cherry smirked.

"Not really." Lionel replied.

"Well, it's still pretty amazing." Dick smiled to Lionel.

"Grazie." Lionel nodded.

Cherry wiped her mouth and sat back once she felt full enough.

"And I'll handle the rest." Lionel replied as he ate the tray, then spat it out, completely empty.

"Uh...?" Dick blinked, feeling awkward from that.

"Took care of the leftovers." Lionel replied.

"I think I need a bath tonight." Cherry said.

"Good, 'cuz you stink." Dick teased her.

Cherry let out a small playful growl. Lionel just smirked.

Eventually, the dinner table was cleared and Cherry went to take a bath that night with some music. Lionel was mostly playing with his yo-yo again.

"So, you and Cherry are pretty serious, huh?" Dick asked Lionel.

"Yup," Lionel nodded. "...Whatever that means."

"Like... Do you really like her?" Dick asked.

"Oh. Well...yeah." Lionel replied.

"You gonna keep a good eye on her and take care of her for me?" Dick smirked like an overprotective big brother.

"I swear it!" Lionel saluted.

"Good," Dick replied. "I don't wanna have to come after ya."

"No problem." Lionel promised.

It seemed to be a good night for everyone, but in most nights, it didn't last too long in Gotham City.
