Hey guys sorry for the insanely long wait, I've just been extremely busy lately. Our school just had the musical and I've been doing that for the past month literally from 6:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. I was at my school. Anyway now that that's done we can go back to this story and the upcoming SEQUAL! That's right I decided to do one. (You can thank the reviewer who sent me the word sequel over 1,000 times for that) Anyway here's the next chapter and the last one of the actual story. I think I won't do an epilogue since there is going to be a sequel. If you are however adamant about one I can consider it. If not wait until the end of the sequel. Anyway enjoy!

Bruce groaned loudly where he laid face down on the floor with his body awkwardly sprawled out behind him. Slowly he shifted his head into an upright position and glanced around at his surroundings. In front of him the mass view of space engulfed his vision with stars and the earth, stretching his neck over he saw his fellow leaguers still unconscious surrounding him. Picking himself further off the ground he moved towards a cluster of computers standing in the corner next to a very large oval table. It was obvious that he was in the Watch Tower but the year still remained a mystery. Pulling out his wrist computer he quickly typed in his key and paused waiting for it to unlock for him. As soon as it did the date gleamed upwards towards him showing the numbers 4/15/13 glistening blue from the holographic screen. Bats let a small smile escape onto his usually stern face as he basked in the glow.

He was finally home.

Walking back over to his teammates he kneeled down to the closet one, Wonder Woman and gently shook her shoulders.

"Diana wake up…..Diana…" The Amazon stirred slightly and slowly opened her eyes. Letting them focus on the dark mass above her. After a moment of collecting her thoughts she sat straight up looking around at the Watch Tower.

"Did we do it? Are we back home?" Bruce gave her a small nod and she sighed deeply in relief, a smile appearing as she did so. "Thank Hera"

Gradually Bruce helped her to her feet and they began to wake up the others. Once everyone was up and informed that they did indeed travel back to 2013 they began to discuss their next course of action. Whether or not they were going to tell the other leaguers and their protégés what happened and where they went. Before they could reach a choice a zeta-tube from just outside the main room went off causing all talking to swiftly cease.

"Recognizing Green Arrow B-07 and Black Canary B-08." The others waited patiently expecting to hear Cheshire and Red Arrows numbers after that, before they remembered with a shock that Cheshire was still bad and Roy was still not part of the league. From the hallway they could hear the two arguing angrily and loudly.

"OLIVER THEY HAVE BEEN GONE FOR TEN DAYS! We need to bring together a search party now!" Came Dinah's shrill voice, a heavy sigh that obviously belonged to Oliver followed the exclamation.

"They are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves, besides we figured it had something to do with DeathStroke and because of that Bruce warned us that the mission might go on longer than expected. We can't risk sending heroes and compromising with the mission."

"They said it might go a few days longer not TEN DAYS LONGER!" Before Green Arrow could respond the two rounded the corner and came face to face with the very hero's they were discussing. Each of them except Batman and Manhunter were sporting a very amused expression as they stared at the couple. After a few moments of complete silence Oliver turned with a smirk to the shocked Canary.

"HA! I told you they were fine!" At the words Dinah quickly snapped out of her surprise and the look on her face was changed to one of annoyance and anger. Charging to Bruce she placed her hands on her hips and gave him a glare that could master his own.

"Where the hell have you guys been? We have been worried sick about all of you. You couldn't call or message us saying you would be later than expected! We all thought something had happened. I basically had to tie the team down to prevent them from going to Morocco in search for you! All I have to say is I hope you have a VERY GOOD explanation for yourselves!" Oliver stared awestruck at Dinah's bravery (or stupidity) for yelling at the Bat like that. Batman however looked down at the angry bird obviously amused by her motherly ways. But he promptly hid that amusement and stared at her with a blank face which seemed to only anger her more.

"It's a very long story, one that I am more than willing to share with you, tomorrow" Dinah looked like she was about to argue again but he held up his hand to silence her. "I'd rather only have to tell it once with everyone one here. Right now however I want to see my son and I'm sure the others would like to see their protégés, and then I want to go home. Excuse me." And without another word Batman left the fuming woman and walked towards the zeta-tubes, silently being followed by the other leaguers who apologetically smiled towards Dinah. One by one the entered the transporting device and headed to where they were sure the young teenagers were waiting, Mount. Justice.

Meanwhile at MOUNT. JUSTICE, Headquarters of a very frantic young team of superheroes.

As soon as they entered the cave the older leaguers were met with a strange case of Déjà vu. Their protégées all sat yelling in the middle of the large training room on the floor in a circle. At the center sat Robin who was obviously trying to bring back some order to the "meeting". On the side sat to young boys each sporting black masks who were talking quietly to themselves. Barbra and Zantana stood near them watching over the team and the young boys as they also whispered urgently back and forth. At the sound of the names being announced by the zeta-tubes however, every head snapped towards the older hero's. There was a moment of silence, then….

"UNCLE JOHN! YOUR BACK!" Ms. Martian yelled as she flew up and tightly hugged her uncle who smiled back in return. At the action the other protégés got up and ran to their mentors happily hugging them as they did so. The boys from the corner and Barbra quickly scurried over to where Bruce was standing in the corner. The boys stood in front of him smiling slightly.

"Hello father." "Hey Bruce." Barbra moved forward and waved nonchalantly over their heads. It was a shock to see her not pregnant again.

"Hey Bats, how's it hanging?"

Bruce looked at his once again young children and smiled in return. Reaching down he gathered all of them up and tightly hugged them, shocking them each as he did so.

"It's good to see you guys again." As he set them down they looked at him curiously, but before they could question his actions a small cackle came from nearby. Looking around Bruce saw Dick laughing at his siblings and friends faces before he turned to look at his father.

"What's gotten into you Bats, you actually willing hugged someone!" Bruce was silent as he looked over his son taking in his uninjured appearance, and the fact that he was 13 again. Dick stopped smiling when Bruce didn't answer and moved closer to him. "You okay you look like you've seen a ghost." Dick was cut off when he was pulled into a hug of his own. Slightly baffled he awkwardly hugged his father back. Bruce felt happiness wash over him, his son was here and he was only 13, DeathStroke hadn't gotten to him and he hadn't had to go without a parent again. His eyes started to water from relief

"I'm just really glad to see you Dickie; it feels like it's been weeks since we left." Dick smiled softly at the reply and pulled away from his father's embrace. Looking at his face he saw what looked like tears coming down from beneath the cowl. Now Dick was truly perplexed.

"God Bruce what has gotten into you? It's only been ten days since you left not ten years." Bruce chuckled lightly at the statement, as he gathered his still very young children closer to him once more.

"Thank god for that."

MEANWHILE IN SOME RANDOMLY CLICHÉ WAREHOUSE IN THE OUTSKIRTS OF JUMP.

Slade threw his fist onto his desk top and growled angrily as he watched a live video feed connected to Mount. Justice. HOW THE HELL DID THEY MANAGE TO GET BACK? Warp assured him that the clock would send them as far away as possible with no way to get back. THIS IS WHY HE WORKED ALONE! He couldn't trust anyone but himself. Just as he began to imagine different ways he could find and harm that blasted sorry excuse for a villain, he heard a shuffle from behind him. Spinning around he swiftly pulled out his sword and pointed it straight in front of him. What he saw however made him pause in confusion. He was standing face to face with…himself? No it couldn't be him that was absurd, but then who was it?

"Who the hell are you, and how did you get in here?" He asked smoothly, managing to hide his panic and trying to sound intimidating and frightening. His doppelganger though smirked as he pulled out his gun. In one shot he put a bullet through Slade's head causing his past self to crumple to the floor dead. Walking forward he kicked the sword out of the way and kneeled down.

"Never bring a knife to a gun fight, I should have known better than that." He muttered quietly, a shuffling sound came from the corner and Warp appeared his face white and confused.

"Why did you do that he could have helped us?" Slade scoffed at the question as he rose from the ground and moved to the computer screen that was still on though now splattered with blood and brain matter.

"There is nothing my past self knows that I do not. Besides you know the rules of time travel better than I do. You know that there cannot be two of us in the same time." Warp moved forward clutching his hands nervously as he stepped over the dead man's body.

"Why are we even here? Our time doesn't exist anymore with the league back in the right time, everything we've worked towards will change." Slade sneered and wiped off the computer screen as he zoomed in on a young boy roughly 13 with black hair and a mask.

"I am here for my second chance, Nightwing was set in his hero ways but Robin is quite the impressionable teenager, and by this point very naïve as well. I can get the apprentice I was meant to have…Unfortunately my plans no longer require your assistants." Warp looked up fretfully and stared at the villain.

"Wh-What do you m-m-mean?" Lifting the gun back up Slade pointed it at the B-rated villain's heart with a smile.

"Consider this your resignation"

"W—W-WAIT NO STOP!"

"BANG!"
