"I can't believe he won't even let me go shopping." Faye muttered watching as the team unloaded the Bio-ship.
"It's not that bad." Artemis muttered from next to the girl carrying a crate of goods. "At least you don't have to help carry."
"Batman would let me help, it was Boy Scout that… Oh hey Zatanna."
"Glad you back Zatanna, does this mean your officially joining the team?"
"I don't know, Zatara is just so over protective. I just wish he would give me a little space." The crate fell to the ground and the two teens glanced up. "Dad!"
"Guys!" Faye called as the team faded away. The league members froze.
"Zatanna!"
"Batman what?" Faye called staring at the spot Artemis and Zatanna had been standing in seconds before.
"Not sure, Zatara?"
"If it was magic it would have been… I don't think any one villain would be strong enough too."
"I'll call the watch tower, Faye, head to the communications room and look online."
"Right." Faye ran I through the cave, heading towards the communications room and the Zeta-tube.
Finding the room empty Faye whimpered slightly. Shaking her head she turned to the holo-screen closest and pulled up as many social media sites as she could think of. Next were news websites and blogs.
"Faye?" Faye turned to face Batman.
"They all say the same thing, everywhere. Everybody over eighteen gone."
"Recognised Captain Marvel 15"
"Alright guys I'm here to…your back, is it over? Where's the team?"
"Haven't you heard, every child in the world has disappeared…" Batman placed a hand on Zatara's shoulder.
"Zatara wait. Captain where have you been?"
"On a world without grownups. Holy moly, there are two worlds."
"Two dimensions, one for adults…"
"And one for kids."
"And you can travel between them?"
"I think I can I know I can. Shazam."
"His gone."
"He will be back, and we now have communication."
"Right, which means you can work out what's going on and …I can stay here."
"Open up the teams coms, send a repeating message. Link the teams and our coms when you get a response."
"And how do I do that?"
"Here…" Batman opened a new program and showed Faye a list of names. "Click any you want to link. This sets a message on repeat."
"Right, Captain!" Batman turned around and the planning began.
"Paging all team members, paging all team member paging all team members, this will totally get on my nerves." Faye set the message to repeat and opened the team's com channels.
"We're leaving. Stay in the cave."
"Not like I can do anything Bats, just go." Faye snarled back. The Bat-glare made her blink. "Sorry scared, if you don't fix this I lose them." Her hand drifted to her stomach.
"We will fix this." The Bat-glare softened. Batman turned and walked to the Zeta-tube.
"Batman 02, Zatara 11, Red Tornado 16, Captain Marvel 15"
"I hope so."

"Zatanna?" Faye knocks on the girl's door. "Can I come in?"
"Faye?" Faye smiles at the red eyed girl.
"I brought food. Can we talk?"
"Um, yeah." Zatanna nods and steps back.
Faye slips into Zatanna's room and places the tray of food on a box. "I'm not going to ask if you're okay, it's obvious you're not and no one expects you to be."
"I don't…"
"And you don't have to talk, listen. You're not the only one on the team to lose a parent."
"What?"
"Artemis never talks about her father, Robin is not Batman's biological son and Kadur hasn't mentioned his family once since I've met him."
"Really? Robin isn't… you know who Robin is?"
"I treated a stab wound, in checking for poison found a genetic marker that means Robin can't catch certain bug, the marker has to come from both parents and Batman has pox scars."
"So…"
"Robin calls the Batcave home, he lives with Batman who is not his father. He probably lost his father, if not both his parents."
"Is there a reason you're telling me this?"
"When you lose a parent you feel alone, particularly if their your only family." Faye smiles softly. "What I'm trying to say is you aren't alone, you have the team now."
"What about you?"
"Me?"
"Yeah, you talk about this like you know. Who do you have?" Faye looks intently at the wall.
"Well, I …"
"Who did you lose?"
"My mum. She died two years ago, dad died when I was three so it was just us, then just me."
"How did up end up here."
"Evil scientists." Faye smiled at Zatanna. "I'll tell you the story some other time, eat, sleep and spend the night looking back. You can look forward in the morning." Standing Faye walks to the door, Zatanna reaches out to stop her.
"You have us."
"What?"
"The team, you have us." Zatanna smiled slightly. "None of us are alone. We have each other."
"Yeah, that's what a team is for." Robin stepped into the doorway. "I was going to bring food, but it seems Faye beat me to it. Glad you're feeling better Zee."
"Zee?" Faye raised an eyebrow.
"She needed a nickname Super-mum."
"That still isn't funny."
"Super-mum?" Zatanna was staring at Faye who set a hand on her belly.
"Evil scientist, another time. I have to go." Faye looked pale suddenly.
"My rooms two down, the doors open and the bathroom is right next to the bed."
"Thanks." Faye turns and sprints out the door.
"Super-mum?" Zatanna turns to Robin. "Evil scientist?"
"Cadmus impregnated her with Superman's kids."
"Wait, Faye's pregnant?" Robin blinked.
"We didn't tell you?"
"No!"
"Oh, well yeah, about four months now."
"What?!"
And that's a wrap.
