So this story took a different turn then what I thought it would...

But please read and enjoy!

Wind rushed passed her chilling her to the bone though that could also be from the bloodless as well her hazy mind thought. Black hair flared around her face as gravity dragged her body toward the street below with no mercy. Even with darkness gathering at the corners of her vision she smiled through the fear of dying like her parents and leaving her family behind. She closed her eyes waiting for the end hoping it would be quick so that she could be with her parents though it hurt to think of leaving Dick. Yet it never came instead of hitting the ground she felt something wrap around her catching her. Cracking an eye open all she could make out was the blurry black and red and the feeling of being safe swept over her before she fell into darkness.

The last thing she heard was a voice yell, "Don't you die on me!"

She came to to the steady beeping sound of a heart monitor and warmth surrounding her entire body telling her she wasn't dead. Cracking her eyes open she shut them quickly against the glare of the blinding white light glare that greeted her with a groan.

"Hey Anniebird." came one of five male voices she knew all too well.

Opening her eyes again she tried to focus on the person above her, "J-Jaybird?"

"Yeah it's me. Mind explainin yourself?"

"W-What happened?"

"Seriously? You nearly died that's what happened!"

Ann flinched at his tone when she heard a door open and close before her twin's voice broke through her haze, "Jay calm down or Bruce will kick you out. How ya feeling Annie?"

"Numb and dazed..."

"Well the painkillers will do tha. You scared us you know?"

"Scared is an understatement Wingnut. She's lucky Roy was in the area to help me with some business."

"R-Roy's here?" Ann asked quietly.

"He was which reminds me I got somethin' to take care of."

"N-N killing..."

Jason looked at her with a frown, "No promises specially if I find the bastard that shot you."

With that Jason was gone leaving the two older birds alone, Dick taking a seat on the edge of the bed where his sister lay. He was silent as they watched one another the pain and sadness mixed with the concern and slight anger in his eyes.

"I-I was shot?" she asked breaking the silence. "T-thought the k-kevlar held and I'd b-been stabbed."

"Bruce and Tim found an armor piercing at the scene of your brawl after Roy and Jay called us." Dick told her quietly. "We think there was a sniper."

Ann nodded, closing her eyes as her brother gently ran his fingers through her hair like their mother used to do feeling utterly spent.

"Go back to sleep Anniebird." her big brother told her quietly. "You'll need your strength for the lectures to come."

Dick watched his little sister sleep before he silently got up dropping himself in the closest chair to the bed crossing his arms over his chest. He didn't notice when Tim entered the room as he fell to sleep having gotten little rest in the few days Ann had been unconscious. Tim had to grin at the sight of his big brother finally sleeping though he understood why he couldn't find any rest. He himself had been afraid when Roy and Jason had called them and he had seen the shape that his sister had been in.

"Glad you're alright." he whispered before he took a seat by Dick.

"Tt." came a voice from the doorway. "Drake."

"Demon."

Damian entered the room taking in the sight before him, mask in place unlike his three siblings since he was still getting used to the Team. The youngest of the Bats looked at his sister taking a seat on the edge of the bed ignoring Tim and Dick who seemingly continued to sleep. There was silence in the room, neither of the younger two wanting to wake the older ones even if they did want to throw insults back and forth with just being in each others presence.

Hours passed by before Batman made his way through the mountain to check on his daughter who he had not seen since they had made sure she was stable. He had thrown himself into trying to find the sniper who had shot her or so the investigation had told them. There was little he could think of except finding him even when other matters made themselves more prevalent like Joker escaping Arkham for the sixth time in three weeks.

Quietly opening the door to the med bay where his daughter lay he stopped in the doorway surprised by the sight before him. A smile appeared on his usually grim face when he took in all of his children in one place without having killed one another. Dick sat in a chair near Ann's bed with Tim on the floor near his feet, head resting against his brother's knee both asleep. Barbara (he thinks of her as a daughter) sat with Cass and Steph on either side of her when they had come back he did not know though he should have since he is the Batman. The two sights that surprised him most were that of Jason and Roy sitting side by side backs against the wall on the opposite of Dick, Tim and the girls. And then there was Damian who was on the bed with his sister, head on her shoulder fast asleep with Ann's arm around him.

"Dad?" Ann asked quietly.

Seeing her awake Bruce smiled, closing the door behind him silently and went over to her as she smiled back at him. He ran a hand through her hair before cupping her cheek which she leaned into looking up at him with eyes that spoke an apology. Bending down he kissed her forehead lightly then did the same to Damian before he straighten looking around. At that moment he wished he had a camera so that he could show Alfred when he remembered that he could always pull the security footage. Looking around the room, he looked at each of his children and Roy glad that though one was still injured that at this moment they were all still there with him and alive.

Hoped you liked the story.

Unsure if I should keep this going or just revert back to about pre season 1 or season 1 of Young Justice.

Please leave a review and let me know what you think.
