Due to the uncertain nature of life I have been unable to not only post but write for the last two weeks. And as I have a series of task requiring my attention upcoming in the next few weeks may be unable to post more over that period too. So my belated and rather unhelpful apologies will do nothing more than assure you that I still live...and have at least some access to the internet.

I will add to this a short snippet of what I have planned for each of the stories I am currently working on updating. And hope to have something more substantial up by the end of next month at the latest...hope being the operative word.

...Faye hovered above the floor of Mount Justice. Concentrating on lowering her self and two of her charges down. There realy was nothing she could do. Not with a knife held against Nightwing's throat...

...Faye watched the com lights go out one by one as her link to the team dissipated. "Nightwing? Come in Nightwing!"...

...Faye's hand stung as she glared at the reddening side of his face. "You bloody hero's."...

...Colin watched as the team schemed their latest plot. Kendra was hovering behind him, high enough to see the table. "I think Artemis is coming back..."

"We were right?"

"Yeah, but there's more to it than we thought...Aqualad is coming back too."

"He hurt Mum."

"Yeah."

"What do you think?"

"Light roasting."

"Like when M'gaan was hurting Conner?"

"Yeah."...

..."Colin I need you to wait with Dick alright?"

"You're going to help?" Faye slipped on a domino mask and smiled.

"Well I can't let villain's help save the world and not help out myself."

"Who are you going with?"

"Wally and his uncle." Faye glanced up as the speedsters glanced over at the two.

Colin nods. "They won't let you get hurt."

Faye ruffled his hair. "No, they won't."...

I think that's enough...

..."It's not My fault our kids are floating over Metropolis, you disappear for months without warning me and then when you get back you dodge any contact with them you can...What else are they supposed to do?"

"Not put on masks and try to catch bad guys."

"Their your kids Clark. They think you're disappointed. They want to make you proud."

"Well as proud as watching them beat up a pair of bank robbers makes me this is not how I wanted the media to find out." Clark points to the helicopter coming around the edge of the nearest skyscraper.

"Mum, Dad!" Kendra's shout drew the floating pairs attention. The two kids were playing catch with a reporters camera. How they pilfered the thing from the helicopter was not something the two wanted to know. Faye checked her domino mask and floated over.

"Little bird give it here." The camera was floated over. Faye pulled out he memory card and floated the camera back to the opened mouthed reporters. "Superman will make a press announcement soon." Waving her hands at the two children she floated them over to her.

"Strong Man." Clark held out his hand and pulled his son onto his back. The boy clung like a monkey, watching as his father gathered his mum and sister in front of him before streaking of. "I don't appreciate being thrown to the wolves like that."

"Right now I don't care, bring Bruce along." Clark smirked.

"You're mad at him too?"

"You have no idea."...
