"Hello, this is Angela Chen," The anchorwoman announced. "In today's news, billionaire Lex Luthor, was again rigorously grilled by the DA's Office over his alleged connection to The Joker's rampage. His statements have been questioned by both local law officials and industrialists' Bruce Wayne, who now halts the immediate termination of his partnership with Lex-Corp. And on a lighter note, The Joker and his accomplice Harley Quinn were returned to Arkham Asylum for another round of rehabilitation."
We are soon shown The Joker and Harley Quinn being taken away.
"This isn't over! Not by a long shot!" The Joker yelled which wasn't much of a surprise.
"I WANT A LAWYER!" Harley Quinn cried out. "I WANT A DOCTOR! I WANT A CHEESE SANDWICH!"
They were soon shoved into the asylum vehicle.
"Now that's funny!" Mercy laughed out loud as she watched this before wincing as her arm hurt in her cast and sling.
Later on, it looked like goodbye to Metropolis for Bruce and Cherry.
"See you back home?" Atticus smiled at his best friend.
"I suppose so..." Cherry replied.
"Joker really has it out for you, huh?" Atticus asked.
"Yeah... It's a bit of a long story of how I met him and Batman, like I'm sure how you met Superman and Lex Luthor." Cherry replied.
"Yeah, guess so." Atticus said.
"It all started long ago-" Cherry began with a smirk.
"Ah! Not now!" Atticus told her.
"I'm just kidding..." Cherry chuckled. "I have to get going anyway, Superboy."
"See ya back home, Mistress of Darkness." Atticus smirked playfully.
They soon shared a friendly hug.
"I still wish you'd change your mind about Gotham." Bruce said to Lois.
Atticus and Cherry both knew exactly why Lois wasn't going to go to Gotham.
"You're not upset she's not going, right?" Atticus asked.
"Not really." Cherry confessed.
Lois began to tell Bruce the reason why she wasn't going. "I adore you, Bruce, but now there's a lot about you I don't know, and I'm not sure I wanna know." she soon told him, coming clean.
"I understand." Bruce gave a small smile.
"Take care of yourself." Lois told him before kissing him on the cheek before leaving.
Bruce looked at her as she soon walked off down the street.
"Come on, we better go." Cherry said to Bruce.
Bruce and Cherry began to make their way to the plane. Before they got there, they soon ran into Atticus and Clark.
"Come to make sure we're leaving?" Bruce asked.
"Actually, I thought we all worked pretty well together," Clark smiled sincerely. "Not that I'd want to make it a regular event."
Atticus and Cherry were happy to hear that.
"She's all yours now, if you can handle that," Bruce told Clark. "But you better be good to her. 'Cuz I know where you live."
Cherry snickered a little to that.
"Come along, Cherry." Bruce said as he came to the plane before she soon followed after him.
"He's right, you know." Atticus told his godfather.
"Do you always have to be right?" Clark teased Atticus.
"I can't help it." Atticus smirked playfully.
Cherry and Bruce soon got onto the plane together and it took off to the sky with them while Atticus and Clark watched them leave Metropolis and go back into Gotham City.
"And that's the story of a world's finest adventure with Batman and Superman." Atticus soon concluded.
"That was awesome!" Tony smiled.
"Glad you liked it so much, Tony." Atticus smiled back.
"You and this Cherry lady must've had the craziest adventures with Batman and Superman." Tony said.
"Well, yeah..." Atticus chuckled. "Anyone else have Halloween costume ideas?"
Megan looked bashful. "I really wanna be Ladybug."
"A ladybug?" Atticus asked.
"No, not a ladybug, the superheroine: Ladybug." Megan said.
"Ohh..." Atticus said. "She must be new, I certainly haven't heard of her before."
"I think she's amazing," Megan smiled. "I'd love to meet her and have some miraculous adventures with her."
"Maybe someday." Atticus smiled back.
"So now about your answer." Tony said to Atticus.
"Uh, I'm sorry?" Atticus replied.
"Which is better: Batman or Superman?" Tony reminded.
"Ohh, that..." Atticus realized. "Well, most of my life, I thought Superman was the best superhero there ever could be."
This made Akito make a victorious pose at first.
"Akito, I wasn't finished." Atticus told his son.
Akito then stopped which made Estelle giggle.
"I could also see the appeal in Batman for Cherry," Atticus then continued. "But after that adventure, I don't think one is better than the other. I think they're both amazing in their own way, especially in The Justice League."
Akito and Tony both looked like they could accept that.
"Now... Any other Halloween costumes?" Atticus smiled.
"I don't know what I'll be yet." Lee shrugged to his girlfriend's father.
"I think I'll become Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld!" Estelle decided.
"That sounds great." Mo smiled.
"Aren't you too old to dress like a princess for Halloween?" Tony asked, a bit unimpressed.
"Don't judge me!" Estelle firmly pouted.
"Okay, okay." Tony said.
"We still got time to decide, but we have to hurry," Marc told the adults. "There's a Halloween Dance coming up!"
"You kids gonna invite your cousin?" Atticus asked his kids about including Felicity on the fun.
"You know it." Vincent smiled.
"Good kids." Atticus smiled back to that.
"Hmm... What should I be for Halloween?" Lee wondered to himself. "Uh, does Princess Amethyst have a boyfriend?"
"You wanna be Lord Topaz?" Estelle suggested.
"He sounds strong." Lee smiled.
"Let me see if I can find a picture..." Estelle said, taking out her phone and let her finger scroll through some images from Princess Amethyst.
"Well, you kids have fun with that, I'm gonna go check my messages." Atticus smiled before he let them go by themselves after his story was over.
After looking for sometime, Estelle found the picture.
"So, that's Amethyst..." Estelle said. "Oh, my mistake. Lord Topaz is the patriarch of The House of Topaz. He had a son though who was in love with Amethyst."
"I'll take it," Lee replied as Prince Topaz looked like a mighty warrior despite being a prince. "Kinda looks like a warrior prince."
"Okay then." Estelle smiled.
"I guess I'll be Batman now since he's retired." Tony shrugged.
"Guess so." Lee said.
"He is retired, right?" Tony asked.
"From what I heard from Cherry, yes." Mo nodded.
"So I have a chance of being the new Batman." Tony said.
"Uh, I wish you a lot of luck with that, but I suppose you could, especially since Robin's become Nightwing." Mo replied.
"But you're a little young to be Batman right now." Marc said.
"What?!" Tony glared. "I am not!"
"Yes, you are." Marc said.
Tony huffed as he felt insulted and this made everyone else roll their eyes to him.
"Hmm... Who should I be?" Marc wondered to himself.
Suddenly, Vincent's phone went off and he blushed once he took out his phone to see a photo that Jenny sent to him of her in what she was going to wear for Halloween this year.
"What'd your girlfriend send you?" Tony smirked.
"Uh... I... Uh..." Vincent stammered.
"This, I gotta see." Tony smirked, swiping the phone from him.
"Tony!" Vincent complained.
Tony soon took a look to see Jenny was posing in a black T-Shirt with green cargo pants, a brown belt, and black shoes, and gray gloves, and wore her hair down a little to look like Kim Possible.
"Whoa, your girlfriend sure knows how to make it work." Tony smirked.
"Tony!" Vincent complained, taking his phone back.
"Why don't you be her sidekick?" Tony chuckled.
Vincent simply glared at Tony.
"What?" Tony asked with a shrug.
The teenagers soon decided to plan out their costumes for the Halloween season, feeling inspired about the story about Batman and Superman and some of them even looked to comic books for inspiration. Akito looked the most inspired since he was the most like Atticus between him and his siblings and he decided to use his own superhero costume which he created from over the years which would surely be a surprise for Southdale High School.
After sometime, they did great and had the perfect costumes.
"Oh, Princess Amethyst, you're so amazing..." Estelle smiled as she looked to her video game case of the person she wanted to be for Halloween this year. "You always know how to kick butt and look pretty while doing it."
"You ready?" Vincent asked.
"I guess so..." Estelle replied. "I also hope I can give Hannah a Happy Halloween despite her rotten cousin coming along for trick-or-treating."
"Ah, don't worry about him, besides, you'll see those kids later, right now, we got a high school dance to worry about." Vincent smiled.
"Yeah." Estelle smiled back.
"Come on, let's go." Vincent smiled, about to ruffle up her hair.
"Don't even!" Estelle warned him. "My hair took forever to get right!"
"Sorry." Vincent said sheepishly.
The group soon went to get Hannah. Atticus and Mo smiled and waved as they stayed home for right now. Little did the teenagers know, they would be in for an adventure once they would trick-or-treat with Hannah, but that was another story for another time.
The End
