Chapter 23

"Let them in Alfred," Dick yelled, rubbing his eyes.

Barbara gave him sympathetic look from her spot next to him. "Having problems with human friends?"

"How did you guess?" Dick asked her as Roy sat next to him and Young Justice sat in the two chairs and couch across from him.

Barbara smirked. "Because I've been there and done that."

"Okay, can you two please cut the chatter and explain what the heck is going on? And no lies!" Artemis snapped.

Dick gave Artemis the famous Bat-Glare. "Not right now. I've got somewhere to be."

"And where is that?" Aqualad asked, aware of the girl to Robin's right raising an eyebrow at Robin.

"Romania," Dick answered, ignoring Barbara staring at him.

"Ah, you peeked. And here I was looking forward to telling you," Barbara said with a pout which caused Dick to roll his eyes.

"What can I say? I'm not a very patient person," he said, giving her a smirk before he flashed out of the living room and out of the Mansion.

"Why is he going to Romania?" Roy asked Barbara, recognizing her from Dick's nightmare of his sister's death.

Barbara flashed him a smile. "To get his sister, Beth."

Roy's eyes widened. "But I thought his sister was dead."

"She was never dead. He just thought she was," Barbara explained, noticing the confused faces around her.

"And why haven't you told him this before? Why wait till now?" A voice said, startling Young Justice.

"About time you joined the conversation," Roy commented, giving Bruce a sideways glance.

Barbara sighed. "Because I wasn't able to."

Bruce stood in the doorway. "Because Lucifer was the one to change you?"

"Yes," Barbara answered, staring at her feet.

"I'm confused," Kid Flash said, raising his right hand up.

Barbara sighed. "Fine, I'll explain everything since Dick went to get his sister but if he asked, I didn't say anything."

"Fair enough," Kid Flash replied, flashing a smile.

_Mystery POV_

She knew something was coming. She could feel it, how it raced towards her tomb.

Maybe it's Onii-chan . . .

A small smile graced her lips, hope starting to swell up inside of her heart. How long had she waited for her Onii-chan to come for her, to tell her it was okay to wake up? How long had she laid here, dreaming aimlessly?

How long had she waited till she could be under her Onii-chan's protection again?

I don't know . . . Just please let that be Onii-chan . . . Please . . .
