In the Bat Mobil Bruce was silent then Barbra spoke.
Where do you think the joker was talking about to terry? He said that he would know.
Then Bruce broke the silence and said that's because he's from the future Barbra.
So where came out of her mouth. They looked at one another then both said arch is at the same time then they were off dick not far behind them.
When they got there they quietly walked around then heard noises and followed them.
Inside the building. So batman or should I say terry the joker said to terry as he approached the three hanging objects.
Let them go your fight is with me. Then another voice rang out. No McGinnis your fight is with me it was the joker from his time but how he had saved Tim.
You looked surprised to see me well I didn't need a Robbin to do this but it would have made a good consolation prize.
Then how do you know my name spoke terry in that low voice.
I have my ways and I don't have to explain them to you. now where was I oh yes I believe the three people behind me max as you call her Diana your girl friend and oh yes the kicker your little brother matt.
Let them go now! Terry yelled.
You want them come and get them.
Terry took one move then the joker made his move.
Lets dance then terry calmly said then the fight be gain.
Terry was out muscled as looked as if he were going to loose.
Batman and the other came on the seen and saw what was going on.
Joker and Harley spotted them pulled a lever that incased the two fighting
Not so fast there bat's this is a one on one match. This is so fun watching the future bats get destroyed and on top of that the present bat's gets to watch!!! Ha!
terry was on the ground he turned his head and saw Bruce standing there then saw his loved ones he then kicked of the joker and saw the release switch for his friends and brother and pulled it they all dropped to the ground. He yelled max run go now he was struck to the ground.
You see I came prepared this time bat man.
Terry held his side then he saw the blood flow on to the ground from his mouth.
In the mean time max had gotten Diana and matt into a corner till she could figure a way out she saw terry hurt and it looked bad.
The joker came up on him and all Bruce and the other could do is watch, Bruce pounding on the force field trying to get in to help terry.
Kick after kick more blood pored out from his mouth.
Terry was down and not moving, so terry ho does it feel to know your going to loose the ones you care most about. Terry's eyes opened and saw max along with Diana and matt then he looked around and saw that this times joker was about to kill them.
he then gathered what strength he had and pushed the joker off of him as he was choking him and flung him into the force field got up to his feet and staggered over to where the joker lay.
Hey that's not funny the joker replied the real batman never fought like that.
I'm not him terry struggled to say.
He then through a batterang and the force field was gone.
he turned around and through another one at the joker above his friends and down he went for the count batman and Knight wing ran to terry while Barbra got max and them when terry saw that they were alright and knight wing had his joker in cuffs and going after the other one not to mention Harley he leaned on batman and then grabbed his stomach the pain was too much then he passed out.
Terry hang in there Bruce said as he picked him up and they all headed back to the manor.
Behind them the police were taking the jokers and Harley away.
Back at the manor down in the bat cave terry was barely hanging on.
Bruce he needs a hospital this is to serious for us to handle Barbra put hand on his shoulder and Bruce hung his head.
when Diana and matt had fallen asleep she wondered down stairs taking a bag with her the cave door opened and she walked down and saw Bruce and Barbra hovering over terry and walked over to them. She cleared her throat to make her presents known.
They were both shocked to see her down here.
How did you? Barbra questioned
Terry is my friend I know about him all of you he keeps nothing from me. So how is he doing?
Not good is all Bruce had to say. Max walked closer and Bruce watched her look him over.
We need to take him to a hospital Barbra spoke as max ran her fingers along terry's suite and saw the damage.
He wouldn't want that but I think your right the suite took allot damage.
Bruce continued to watch her and saw that she had never seen him this hurt before.
So what do we tell the medics Barbra asked?
max looked up first the suit has to come off then you tell the you found him like this and that you don't know what happened to him she turned away and walked up stairs mumbling under her breath Bruce heard her calling him and idiot when she was gone Bruce started to take terry's suite off then saw the real damage and he almost cringed at the burses and the gash on the left side. Barbra mage the phone call and they took him up stairs the E.M.S. came and took him away and just before they left Bruce heard one of the men say that he didn't think the kid was going to make it.
Max came in the room you know I'm going with you right.
One question Bruce said the two up stairs do they know about terry?
No only I max replied to the question.
Alright then let's go. Alfred stays here and takes care of the two up stairs.
Very well Master Bruce Alfred said as he walked up the stairs.
Barbra I think you should come incase your father shows up.
While this was going on knight wing was down stair in the cave looking at the D.N.A. results.
This kid terry doesn't act like Bruce is his father but the evidence is here everything matches identical to Bruce like has a clone or something. Terry has no knowledge of this to what I can see either that or he's a good actor this puzzle had him stumped he continued to look at the screen trying to solve the mystery.
At the hospital terry was in surgery three hours later the dr. walked out to Bruce.
Well doc how is he? Bruce asked not liking the look on his face.
We have done all that we can Mr. Wayne the rest is up to him now.
So tell me doc what?
well he had severe internal bleeding his right lung was completely caved in and we found a hem rage on the back of his head which would have caused some meager pain on its own it's probably why he wasn't able to fight off who ever did this to him.
Thanks doc for all that you have done.
The dr. hung his head and was going to leave when Bruce stopped him again.
Doc do you think I could.
The dr. stopped and turned around and looked at him it shouldn't be a problem Mr. Wayne.
Then the Dr. continued on his way.
Max watched Bruce go in and stood out side the door waiting him through the window and listening through the crack of the door. she barely made out the words Mr. Wayne was saying but from what words she did hear Bruce thought he was terry's father but it wasn't possible she had know terry's dad and knew his mother so why was that he thought this she then watched Bruce leave then she snuck in to see him. she walked over to terry and took his hand while Bruce was looking for max he realize that she was probably in the room and went back and he watched her the gestures she used with him and the way she touched him it was obvious that the girl cared allot for him he might even say love him but terry had a girl friend so that meant max secretly loved him.
Interesting was all he said and took a seat and waited for max to come out while he waited Barbra came and sat down next to him.
I covered all of dads questions Bruce she said as she put her hand on his shoulder.
That's good was all he said then Barbra broke the silence again.
So how is terry Bruce?
The doc said that it was all up to terry now he did all that he could.
There is something else bothering you I can tell Bruce tells me.
Remember terry would get head aches and we all knew they were worse than what he lead on.
Yeah what about them?
The doc said that is was a rupture on the back of his head and that the reason he wasn't able to fight of who ever did this to him the pain would have been to grate on its own to bring him to his knees.
So your wondering why he went knowing he was in pain and injured right?
Bruce looked at Barbra.
Look Bruce you would have done the same for the ones you love how could you expect terry you do anything less than that.
It was silent again then Barbra spoke once more. I take it max is in there right now. Barbra sighed then said I wonder if terry knows how much she cares for him? Then max came out of the room both of them stared at her.
She smiled as she shut the door. He'll be alright now she walked by them and went to go to the car to go back to the manor.
Bruce watched a nurse walk in and then she called for a dr. to come quick Bruce and Barbra followed the dr. I the room
Doc what is it? Bruce questioned.
I don't believe it his vitals look completely normal I'll have to examine him further but it looks like you can take him home.
Bruce was taken back and he looked at Barbra then out the door the dr. asked then to leave while he examined terry.
Minutes later the Dr. told Bruce he could take him home but to watch that he didn't over do it he wasn't completely healed but well enough to go home.
Bruce signed the release papers for him by the time Bruce came back terry was awake and terry saw the look and knew he was in for it when they got home.
when they got to the car max was in the back sleeping back at the manor Bruce carried max up to the room that was made up for her and Barbra helped terry inside.
Bruce layer max in her bed and he looked at her. What did she do it had to be her but how did she do it.
He covered her up and left the room in terry's room Barbra was getting him into bed when Bruce walked in.
I think we need to have a talk Bruce said while entering the room and shutting the door.
Okay terry what do you think you were doing?? You could have been killed!
But I wasn't I terry responded.
You were lucky! Bruce shot back. Not to mention you're not out of the woods yet.
Look I don't know why you treating me like this your not my father!!
Bruce looked at him and then Barbra.
Why are you looking at me like that!? Look I thought we had been trough this.
But terry the D.N.A. scan showed that you and Bruce are identically matched meaning that you're his son.
But that's not possible he said then he remembered what the joker had done to Tim he use nanotech to rewrite his D.N.A.
What is it? Barbra softly spoke.
Nanotech was all he said
What is that? Asked Barbra
He looked at her eyes narrowed. Its technology that can rewrite some ones D.N.A. terry spoke then looked at Bruce.
So you think I did this to you don't you Bruce said to him.
No you wouldn't have done such a thing the only one I know with this technology is a woman named Amanda Wallace the technology was out lowed supposedly before I was born.
When Bruce heard that name he froze and then his eyes narrowed as well.
I take it that you know her then Bruce? Barbra asked him.
Yes I know her and she's no friend to me or any one else for that matter. Bruce said as he was walking to the door then stomped down to the cave where dick was still at the computer.
What's wrong what happened? Dick piped out as Bruce suited up.
I know why the D.N.A. said that terry is my son and I know the person responsible.
Wait! Before you go and try and stop it from happening think about what you could loose think about terry he might never be borne! Are you will to risk it! And did you ask terry himself what he thought about it?
Some one mad a clone of me and I want to know why.
Maybe your not suppose to know why.
I'll be back was all batman said and he stormed out of the cave.
The next day terry woke up to see his brother he started to bounce on the bed for terry to get up.
Hey stop it tip! Terry yelled as he threw a pillow at him knocking him to the ground.
Hey why did you do that?! Matt yelled. So terry how did we get here any way this place is cool I met this kid his a\name is Tim and he showed me around man is this place big.
Terry looked at his brother. Matt were in the past were stuck here and I don't know how to get back.
So we might never see mom again?? Think terry you have to get us home!!
Diana and max heard the yelling and opened the door.
Matt we told you to leave your brother alone that he didn't feel well Diana scolded matt.
Diana took matt out leave max to talk with terry.
You alright then max asked him after she was sure no one was in ear shot.
Yeah just a little sore and the stitches here on my side, max why did you let the take me to the hospital any way?
Max put her head down abet and just as she was answering him Barbra walked just out side the door and was listening.
Well max why? Terry question again.
well I didn't know if I could heal that big of a wound and I was sure that there was internal bleeding I cant help that kind of thing but after the doctor was done and had said that you were still in danger I had to try. She turned away from him.
You did good max thank you. Terry took her hand then looked in her eyes and for the first time realized that she loved him.
You know max you mean more to me that you will ever know.
Max heard this and tears slipped down her face. The same goes for you terry she said to him then went to leave.
Now you need to get well and we need to find a way back home she said as she walked out the door.
Barbra was out side the door leaning against the wall.
So you two have something going on or what? Barbra said to max scaring her.
What do you care? Snapped max.
Look your going to be here a while so we might as well get along. That Diana girl is terry's girl friend right but does she knows about you two?
There is nothing going on between us he loved Diana and I would never betray her like that she's my friend. Max defended her and started to walk away.
Man why is it that the people in this line of work always hide there feelings? Barbra spit the question at max's back.
Max stopped then said, oh you mean like you and dick or maybe you and Bruce which is it right now. That's what I thought?
she continued to walk down the stairs then Bruce walked past her as she headed to the kitchen and Bruce felt something coming from her he stopped and looked at her as she continued into the kitchen where matt and Diana were eating breakfast.
"What is it about her?" she then turned to see Barbra in his face.
I won't ask where you went I know better than that but I will tell you what I learned while you were gone, Barbra said teasingly as she walked around him.
So what would that be? Bruce asked watching her circling him.
Well I found out that max is the one who healed Terry I heard the two of them talking about it, but you probably already knew that right? Bruce headed up the stairs leaving Barbra at the foot of the steps.
I had some hope there for a while didn't I Bruce? She said to herself watching him walk away.
