Not wanting to argue or talk anymore, Karmy walked to the other side of Cassius and plopped down next to him, leaning her head against his arm and shut her mouth.

Robert fixed up a nice meal for everyone and now they were at the table in his small apartment. Raising his glass of orange juice before the group, Robert said, "To Luis!"

The others raised their glasses of orange juice. "To Luis." They said in unison, drinking the sweet nectar hurt their throats; it was too good to such a sad occasion.

Cassius looked at Karmy from behind his visor. Poor kid, she's gone through hell lateley.... "Come on kid, you should eat something and get your strength up." He said calmly.

"So, why are YOU with the bats?" Rose asked Sarah eating her food equally rudeley. Cyrah shrugged. "My sis pals around with one of 'em." "Alice?" "Yeah, howdja' know?" Saraha sked, suprised Rose knew. "I've been stalk..... I mean, I investigated all of you earlier." Rose said, catching herself mid sentence. "Sweet, never had a stalker- ninja before." Cyrah said, after an exagerated glug of coffee. Rose corssed her arms and raised an eyebrow. "YOU sure are less upset then I envisioned." Rose stated curiously. "Hey, I find it flattering that you thought we needed to be trailed first. It's weird, I know. I embrace the weirdness." Cyrah said, puffing her chest out proudly.

Robert looked around at the sad group and sighed. Getting up, he walked over to a small cabinet underneath the TV in his living room. "I've been saving this for a while." he popped open a bottle of scotch and fetched some shot glasses. "Orange juice is no way to toast a friend." he poured one for everyone and passed it on.

"Later Cass.. I really don't want to right now." Karmy replied solemnly, still keeping her head down. "I promise, I'll eat later." she pulled her knees in closer. After...

(auuggghhh....i hate being out...-_-)

After walking out of the bookstore, Crimson had realized what this city needed him for. "Maybe Nano has found his calling. But i believe my destiny is to join the midnight riders and help them." Crimson then ran off, hopefully to find some superpowered person who knew anything about the midnight riders.

Dick was in the ship, he had packed with Wintergreen, he powered on the Batship. Lights flickered across the screen and board. He glanced at the heads up display. 5:50 am. He knew he would pass out before they made it to their destination. He would auto pilot all the way. He'd get good sleep for sure. Barbara came up to him and sat down. "How's your hand Babs?" He asked groggily. "Much better, Raven works true miracles." Barbara smiled clenching her fist. Dick smiled back and rested an arm around her shoulder, whispered sweet three letter words in her ear. Barbara smiled and kissed Dick on his cheek. "I'm sorry." She whispered to him softly. "Why?" He whispered equally as softly. "For keeping my guard down. I'm sorry for worrying you so much." She said, her eyes closed. "Please forgive me." Her voice quaked. Dick kissed Barbara on her cheek. "If it were up to me you won't even be wearing that suit. To be honest I liked it when you were out of harms way... When you were bound to the wheelchair.. And yet; I wanted you to stand up and walk." Dick sighed, Barbara had her head resting on his chest, silent. "But its not up to me." Dick whispered. Barbara smiled inside. "I like fighting by your side. I loved doing it when we were teens, I love doing it now." She smiled hugging his arm. "Then fight by my side." He said roughly. "Wha-" "You keep going out on your own. That's why I'm always worrying about you. And that's why you're always getting hurt." Dick kissed her head softly. "I don't like it when that happens." Barbara sat up and looked at Dick, making him opening his eyes. "What?" He asked. "I love you." She said drawing him in a passionate kiss.

Harvey dent shot back to Wayne enterprise in the shadows- he failed to find the sniper before he wasled off. He was 99.9% sure it was deadeye, he knew his handiwork. But there were bigger issues to adress. He knew that the populace of Gotham would awaken from their slumber soon, and he wanted it to look like he was among them. He quickly made his way to his office, hid the Batface suit, put his remaining .45 in his drawer, and legitimateley passed out on his desk, as he was tired.......

"Hey, don't worry kid, just take your time." Cassius said. However, Zero cast his blank face in karmy's direction, sudden realization on his face. "Hey, Karms, come here, I need to tell you something really quick." he said. He nearly had forgotten- he had something for her stashed back home. "Make a portal back to the apartment. Top shelf of my closet, there's something there you might want." He said to her.

by Fishing4Infinity 8/6/2010, 10:13 pm

Karmy did what Zero told her and portaled to the apartment. Rooting around on the top shelf, her eyebrows raised a little when she felt her hand hit something. "Zero.." Karmy portaled back to the room. "Is this.. What I think it is?" she asked, unable to really put any emotion into her words.

Alice walked in the Batship and spotted Dick and Barbara on top of each other kissing, they nearly fell out of the one seat they were on, upon seeing Alice's arrival. "Alice!" Dick said as Barbara fell off. Smooth. "What are you doing here?" He asked helping Barbara up. "Uhh.. Its 06:00am. We're supposed to be boarding now." Alice said a little pissed and jealous. "Oh.. Wow have we been kissing for ten minutes?" Barbara asked him seeming to have lost track with time. "Right, well can we call everyone aboard now?" She asked dropping two duffle bags she packed. "Right good idea." Dick said picking up a microphone.

"Attention, all heroes in the batcave; we are now boarding the 06:00 to Jump City. Please come to the 5th floor to board." Dick announced.

by Fishing4Infinity 8/6/2010, 10:47 pm

Once in the plane, Karmy pulled some clothes out of the lantern bag and slipped them on. It was a dark green hoodie, too big for her and a pair of black basket ball shorts, which she tied the string really tight on so they wouldn't slip off. Finding no shoes in the bag, she decided to go barefoot until they arrived at Jump City. Plopping down in one of the seats, she curled up and lad her head against the window, starting to dose off.

by **Vandal** 8/6/2010, 10:52 pm

A duffle bag plopped onto Karmy's lap. "I said I'd get you some stuff to wear." Alice said sitting next to her. "Packed you some of Nicole's clothing, thought it might fit." Alice explained.

by **redeagle321** 8/6/2010, 11:01 pm

"Yeah. He'd want you to have that bag right now. I know it can't replace the one you lost, but hopefuly you can find use for it 'till we beat the real one off of Slade." Zero said to karmy.

With help from Cassius, Zero stumbled onto the Batplane and settled down in a seat next to Ivy.

Still talking about just random junk, Rose and Cyrah plopped in random seats on the plane, Cyrah across from Karmy, and Rose behind her. "Hey, Karms, you feleing any better?" Cyrah asked with concern.

As the plane started to gain altitude, it was taking an affect on Karmy. "I'm just.." her eye's began to grow heavy. She had never been on a plane ride before, she had no need to. Her head slid against the window as she passed out.

Casey walked through the small market place, Karmy riding along on top of his shoulders. Being 11 years old at the time, Casey was trusted by his parents to take 5 year old Karmy out to see the village life. He knew that they were on the run from the ‘bad people’ right now, so he didn’t use his powers when he was away from the house. “What’th that Casthey?” Karmy would ask every so often, pointing to some strange art piece or weapon or food that was displayed around the market. Casey would just laugh and try his best to explain what they were to her, even though most of them, he was just making the information up. They weren’t really shopping, just getting some fresh air, but Casey did have a little money that he had saved up and was hoping to buy something before they had to move again. Which would probably be soon because their contact who was helping them had said that a lead had been found.

Continuing on, they were starting to get into the quieter part of the market when something caught Casey’s eye. An olive green was laid across a small table, surrounded by a few more objects. A blue seashell, a red mask, a yellow necklace, and various other things. “Hey mister?” Casey called out to the man sitting behind the table. The man was wearing a white, torn cloak and a pair of brown pants tied around his waist. His skin was tanned dark and white threads of hair hung down from his head. “How much for the bag?” Casey asked, approaching the table. The man only looked up to him, tilting his head. Karmy jumped down from his shoulders and placed her hands on the table, standing on her tippytoes to get a good look at everything. The man watched them closely, not really their actions, but… “You are brother and sister, correct?” he asked, his voice hoarse, like he hadn’t spoken in a while.

“Yeah.” Casey gave him an odd look and placed a hand on Karmy’s shoulder. “Why do you want to know.” he asked. “Don’t worry my good son, I am not one of the ‘bad people’ you hide from.” the man replied and picked up the bag. Casey looked surprised but before he could ask, the man held up his hand. “I know what I know, questioning it will only confuse you more. Now, I see your interested in this ba-” “It’th a very pwetty bag!” Karmy interrupted, peeking at the man over the table. “Very.” the man smiled at her. “Special children you are. I can make this bag special too… For a price.” Casey nodded and took the money out of his pocket and handed it to him. “Oh no no, not money. The bag is free, you just got to be willing to put a little of yourselves into it.” Karmy didn’t know what that meant, and Casey really didn’t either so they both nodded their heads. “Alright, place your hands on the bag.” Casey picked up Karmy in his arms and they both placed their hands on the bag.

The man placed his hands over theirs and began to mutter something. The kids gave each other funny looks before turning their attention back to the man. A soft blue glow began to emit from his palms and surprisingly, from the children’s chests. “What’s going on?” Casey asked the man. “A bond like yours and your sisters is rare. I have never seen such a bond, and I am making it so that it will never be… Broken!” he slammed his hands onto the bag and all three lights combined, swirling up in the air for a moment before settling down into the bag…

"What the f- heck was that mister?" Casey asked, he felt funny and Karmy was yawning in his arms. "That was what made each of you, you. A piece of you persay." he handed Casey the bag. "No matter what happens, you two will always be together..."

I boarded the Bat-Ship for the first time just to see Dick and Babs tasting each other's saliva on top of each other. They're both my friends but that doesn't mean I can't feel jealous or awkward around them. I just spent thirty minutes prior packing things in a duffle bag for Karmy just to see she has another bag where she can pull clothes out of her ass. I fucking hate this, had to drag Slade's daughter to the Batcave and reveal all our secrets to her, at least she's getting along with Sarah. In the Bat-ship, this place is pretty spacious, yet its not lightening my mood. We had to leave Wintergreen behind.

Been about fourty minutes since we took off, I can't help but hearing Barbara's voice moaning through the doors of the cockpit. I'm only this close to the cabin because I wanted to sit next to Karmy. She's asleep. Considering to move away from the noise. If autopilot wasn't invented I'd be enjoying my flight.

An hour from lift off, I moved to the back of the Bat-Ship, the distance does a great job in masking Babs' moaning. I thought you were only supposed to join the Mile High Club in a public airline, apparently it can be a private jet as well. Bored already, I might babble about this for a while, but this is supposed to be "logging my adventures" so says Dick. I was considering waking Karmy up to sit with me in the back, but she seemed to be sleeping so soundly I didn't want to touch her. I even considered carrying her to the back so I won't be so goddamned loney. But that would be just like a giant teddy bear, wouldn't it? Just something to hug. I guess because my life abruptly stopped the time my parents were murdered, and the time I was picked up by Slade, that I'm still an eleven year old trapped in a thirty year old's body. I want to have my parents back so badly. I missed out on everything my parents could have shared with me as a teen-ager. I only had Slade. Still its rather lonesome here. Feels like I'm the only one here.

Two hours have passed and I can't get any sleep without a nightmare about Jump City. I honestly don't want to go back to the city where my origins came. We burned down Karmy's house so she'd forget about her horrid past, but its no comparison to an entire city. My heart sinks significantly every time I look out the window, makes me think we're close.

Three and a half hours. Lonlieness consumes me. I'm in fetal position because I'm getting the feeling that I'll have to live with this feeling for a long time. I'm no hero. I'm Alice Carrie Mau. Eleven Years Old.

Karmy woke up shivering like crazy. It was by no means cold inside the plane, but, something didn't feel right to her so she got up to walk around to warm herself up. She was pale and she pulled the jacket tighter as she tried to get warm. It must've been one of Zero's jackets that he had put in the bag. Walking to the back of the plane, she noticed Alice. "Hai Al.." she greeted weakly.

by **Vandal** 8/7/2010, 10:13 am

Alice looked at Karmy approach her, then looked out the window, putting down her notebook and pen. "Hi." She returned just as weakly. Her head knocked against the plexiglass window. "What are you doing?"

by Fishing4Infinity 8/7/2010, 10:25 am

"Can't get warm. I think it's because.." Karmy stuttered. "Nevermind.. What are you doing way back here?" she asked, unaware of what Dick and Babs were doing.

by Corvus31 8/7/2010, 10:51 am

Crimson stopped walking and leaned against a lightpost. "Wait a minute......i know just where to go." He said. Crimson then ran to the shore surrounding titans tower. "This is the place, I'm sure that someone here might know a thing or two about the riders!" Crimson then carefully started to walk across the lake, using his energy to create small disks to walk on with every step he took.

by **Vandal** 8/7/2010, 11:02 am

Alice never made eye contact with Karmy. She continued to look down the window and past the clouds. "It was... too cold up front. I didn't want to wake you up to go to the back." Alice shrugged.

by Fishing4Infinity 8/7/2010, 11:14 am

"Oh... " Karmy said as she lay down in one of the seats next to Alice. "Thanks for the bag of clothes, by the way." she indicated one of Nicoles shirts she wearing underneath the jacket. "it helps.." she mumbled as she pulled the clothes tighter.

by **Vandal** 8/7/2010, 11:16 am

"Oh. Yeah don't worry about it." Alice sighed, she felt Karmy's presence rest next to her. "Y'know I haven't been in Jump City for years." she whispered, basically to herself. "I hate that city."

by Fishing4Infinity 8/7/2010, 11:26 am

"Yeah.. That place holds some bad memories." Karmy said, looking up at Alice. "Do you want to go back? Cause.. I'm not sure if I want to."

by **Vandal** 8/7/2010, 11:31 am

"No choice... we'll just have to." Alice rubbed her eyes. "Why don't you want to go back?" She asked curiously.

by Fishing4Infinity 8/7/2010, 11:38 am

"Smith." Karmy winced. The memory of burning flesh and blood came back to her and she closed her eye's to try and calm down.
