"Welcome to Metropolis, Persephone," Dad said. "Your mother's here, and I told her everything. She wants to meet you."

I helped Dad out of the car and he leaned onto both me and the cane. In front of us was Justice League Headquarters, which was a lot bigger than I thought it was. It was at least fifty feet, and all of it was white. I could see a few windows at the top. I could tell there were people in it, but I couldn't tell who was.

"Where is she?" I asked, taking Dad with me to the front.

"She'll be at the top."


We took the elevator up because Dad couldn't walk up there. When we got to the top, and the doors opened, I could see a woman with a red cape standing at the window, gazing down at the city below her. We both walked out together, and Dad nudged me to go forward.

Very slowly, I walked toward the woman. When I was very close behind her, I put my hand on her shoulder.

"Mom?"

She turned around to look at me. She looked almost exactly like me, except she didn't have white skin or the same kind of blue eyes I did.

"Yes?"
