"And that's all, folks." Lionel smirked.
Cherry moved the table and held out her hand. Terry took her hand and soon stood up beside her. The Joker soon melted away into none other than Tim Drake.
"Easy... We've got you." Terry smiled to him as he helped him up.
"It's over... It's finally over." Lionel sighed.
"It's all over now~" Cherry sang.
They soon took that time to leave the factory. Ace scratched at the door before barking.
"Way ahead of ya, mutt." Terry said before taking out an explosive so that they could leave the factory.
"Right!" Scrappy replied. "Let's get goin'!"
KABOOM! They soon rushed out the door once they were free to go at last. They got into the Batwing and took off. The whole factory exploded as soon as they took their leave. Lionel hugged Cherry, crying tears of joy.
"And we are outta here!" Cherry announced, but gave him a small pat on the back.
"YEEEHAAAAW!" Scrappy howled as they left... But not before making a stop at the Gotham Police Station as the Dee Dees were being bailed out... Naturally, they went in their civilian guises.
"You sure we should watch this?" Cherry asked.
"I think you'll be satisfied with what you see." Scrappy smiled to her.
"Delia and Deidre Dennis?" read the policewoman. "Your grandmother has paid your bail, and you're being released into her custody pending your trial."
"Oh, joy." the twins remarked sarcastically.
Cherry giggled, but Lionel and Scrappy tried to shush her while trying not to laugh themselves.
"You rotten little scamps!" The old woman scolded her twin granddaughters. "I struggle to make a good home for you, and this is the thanks I get?!" she then whacked them with her cane. "Break a grandmother's heart! I hope they throw the book at you!"
"Oh, shut up, Nana Harley." The twins grumbled.
As soon as they were out of sight, Lionel, Cherry, and Scrappy all had a good laugh at their expense.
"Better?" Scrappy asked.
"Aw, Scraps, that was amazing!" Cherry smirked. "I'm pretty sure they're grounded for life now!"
"Definitely!" Lionel replied. "I guess Harley did do some growing up mentally!"
They soon left as the Dee Dee twins had a long ride home with their grandmother.
Eventually, they arrived at the hospital to visit Tim, and Barbara was already there as well.
"You didn't have to cover up for me, Barbara." Tim said to her as he took her hand.
"The Joker's gone, Tim," Barbara told him. "You were just along for the ride."
"She has a point there, bud." Lionel remarked as he and the others came in.
"How're you doing, Mr. Drake?" Tim asked as he came in with them.
"Tim, this is Terry McGinnis." Barbara introduced.
"We met the other night." Terry said as he shook hands with Tim.
Lionel nodded in agreement.
"We have?" Tim asked before thinking about it. "Oh! I owe you big time."
"Forget it." Terry smiled.
"For what it's worth, Bruce couldn't have chosen anyone better to put on the mask." Tim replied.
"You could say Terry is... The Son of the Mask!" Cherry said before laughing at her own dumb joke before sighing. "I used to love that movie when I was a kid."
"I mostly enjoyed the cartoony sequences with the dog and the baby." Lionel replied.
"Same..." Cherry replied. "Anyway..." she then looked back to the others.
"Coming from you, that means everything." Terry smiled to Tim.
"Sometimes the important things go unsaid," Tim replied. "If there's one thing I've learned, you've got to appreciate the people in your life while you have the chance."
"True, true." Lionel nodded.
"Not everyone is capable of expressing that, Tim," Barbara said to him. "No matter how much they might feel it in their heart."
"I know." Tim replied.
Terry, Lionel and Cherry stepped into the hallway, only to see Bruce and Selina.
"What're you doing here?" asked Terry.
"It's where I should be." Bruce stated as he walked over.
Terry soon began to walk off.
"Terry!" Bruce called to him. "I've been thinking about something you once told me, and you were wrong. It's not Batman that makes you worthwhile. It's the other way around. Never tell yourself anything different."
"Thanks." Terry smiled, as Bruce and Selina headed inside the room.
"Hello, Tim." Bruce remarked as Selina waved.
"Hey, old man." Tim replied.
Terry smiled to that before he soon walked off.
Soon, the trio stood, overlooking Neo-Gotham City.
"This city... It makes me think of those times you came along with me to visit my sister when she became an honorary member of The Men in Black." Cherry said to Lionel.
"I vaguely remember those times," Lionel replied. "But hey, at least our next kid will be able to grow up safe. Besides, this city needs protecting, and we're the best team for the job."
"Yes... That's true..." Cherry said as she rubbed her stomach briefly.
"Now, as Jim Cummings himself would say: LET'S GET DANGEROUS!" Lionel announced.
"Hmm... Yes..." Cherry smirked as they soon left.
And so, Terry, Lionel, and Cherry took off into the night to protect Neo-Gotham City from any evils that might befall it. Selina smiled as she looked very proud of her favorite niece, and Bruce was plenty proud of her, too.
"Kitten is a very amazing girl, isn't she?" Selina smiled.
"I always knew she was." Bruce smiled back.
"And her friend's really something, too." Tim added.
As the trio streaked through the sky, Lionel called out, "I AM VENGEANCE; I AM THE NIGHT; I! AM! BAT-MITE BEYOND!"
Lightning struck as he said that as they passed through the night sky.
The End!
