"How'd they get so fast?" Nightwing yelled as he jumped from one to another.
"Does it really matter?" Python asked. Nightwing didn't answer.
"Hey where's Moment?" Batgirl asked.
"He's ahead!" Robin answered as they jumped over to another roof.
"Well of course he is!" Batgirl said upset with herself.
"He can't handle the Royal Flush Gang alone!" Green Lantern said.
"They'll slaughter him!" Batgirl added.
"Then let's go!" Blaze said.
"Why aren't we flying?" Batman asked her.
"The winds are really not in our favor tonight!" Nightwing answered for Blaze.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Well that's what you get when you run ahead of the rest of us," Python said walking over to Moment. He was sitting on a desk in the batcave with his mask laying next to him.
"It's not my fault you guys are slow," Chase complained. Python slapped a cold damp cloth in her hand on a cut oh his face hard. He yelled as his hand went up and held it there.
"Hey where's Em?" Terry asked as he walked out of the changing room, rubbing the back of his head. Everyone else looked at him.
"She's changing up in her room," David answered him.
"Yeah that's a good idea, I'll go change in Emily's room," Chase said walking past all of them towards the stairs to the mansion. Terry grabbed the shoulder of his costume as he past.
"Ah guys," Emily said walking backwards towards all of them in a dark green bathrobe. A glowing object followed her. They all looked at her and amazed at the object following her. She stopped when she got to them, and the object stopped when she did. The object grew downward and formed into the appearance of two elderly people. They stood there, an after image type of thing moved behind things, repeating every movement they made. It was an elderly man and woman, both dressed in very elegant clothes. They all looked at them in amazement, Emily, and Adam in shock.
"Oh my god," Emily said. Terry quickly looked at Emily then back to the people. The holographic images frowned.
"Hello to you too dear," the woman said.
"Do you always wear a robe in this dark, cold cave?" the man asked her. Eyes went from Emily to the figures and back; all except Adam's whose stayed fixed on the images.
"What do you want?" Emily asked them.
"That's a fine way to say hi to your grandparents," the man said.
"We are the only grandparents you ever had," the woman added.
"What do you want?" Emily asked again. Adam took a few steps forward and set his hand on Emily's shoulder. The two images looked at him almost surprised.
"You're still around her, how could you let her be here, you're supposed to protect her," the man said.
"We heard she was here, we supposed something happened to you," the woman said.
"She's still safe," Adam said.
"But the rest of her family, our family, isn't," the King told him.
"They weren't my responsibility," Adam said angrily.
"Is that anyway to talk to your King and Queen?" The King asked.
"Leave him alone Grandfather, he did his job, not that he had to. Now what do you want?" Emily asked.
"So many years. You used to be such a nice little girl Emily, what happened?" the Queen asked.
"Things change," was all Emily said.
"Yes we know, your father said that a lot, I suppose you learned that from him," the King said.
"Among other things," the Queen added. Emily's face narrowed.
"Anyway, we need for you to come back with us, all of you, as much as we hate to admit it," the King said.
"Why?" Emily asked raising an eyebrow.
"There's an evil around, causing trouble in our kingdom, we believe you are the only one's who can help us," the Queen said worried.
"How can we help?" Adam asked.
"You can stop Levare" she answered.

"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" Moment asked.
"Yes I'm sure Moment, have a little faith," Myst told him. Myst, Moment, Green Lantern, Python, Robin, Batgirl, and Nightwing sat in their chairs around the giant green table, only three chairs were empty.
"Hey where's Blaze, we are doing this for her aren't we?" Batgirl asked looking around. Myst frowned at her.
"No, we're doing this for the kingdom," Myst corrected her, she sunk down into her chair and mumbled something under her breath. Robin was the only one who heard what it was; he slapped her softly in the arm.
"Where is Blaze anyway?" Green Lantern asked. Everyone else looked around the cave except Moment.
"She and Batman went to, talk," he said smirking. Everyone frowned at him.
"You have a sick mind Moment," Python said, Moment nodded smiling.
"You kinda gotta wonder what he's thinking in that mind of his sometimes," Nightwing said tapping on his own head.
"You're all way to young to even imagine," Moment said placing his hands behind his head.
"Oh I'm sure," Green Lantern said sarcastically.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Are you sure you wanna go through with this?" Batman asked. Batman and Blaze stood in the hall with all the costumes. They had added one Clark had given them after Bruce's funeral. So now Superman stood along with the rest, including Emily's old Batgirl and Blaze costumes. Blaze leaned her back against the Nightwing uniform, looking over at all of her's.
"Positive," she answered him simply. He rubbed the back of his head with his hand.
"Uh, Em, can I ask you something?" he asked. She turned her head towards him.
"Yeah, sure, what?" she asked. He placed his hands behind his back.
"We've known each other for a long time now," he said. She nodded.
"Seven years," she replied.
"Yeah, well, I was wondering, would you, um, like to, uh, maybe, " Batman mumbled nervously. Blaze smiled at him.
"Sure," she said. He looked up at her quickly.
"What?" he asked almost not believing her.
"I said sure, you were going to ask me out right?" she asked.
"Uh, yeah, I was, ah, trying to," he said grinning.
"After we do this though," she said beginning to walk past him towards the door. He stepped in front of her, causing her to stop abruptly. He grabbed her shoulders and kissed her on the mouth. She stood there with her eyes wide open for a minute then gently closing them.
"Whoa I saw everything," Moment said taking a step in the room and quickly out. Batman released Blaze and smiled at her.
"For luck," he whispered to her.
"Now I can't fail," she whispered to him.
"Are you two done yet?" Moment yelled at them from around the corner.
"Let's do this," Batman said, Blaze smiled.
"Right-o" she said still smiling.
"What?" he asked her smiling as well and kind of laughing.
"You'll be hearing that a lot, it's popular on Luna. That's what we call the moon, Luna," Blaze said as they walked towards the door.
"Roman right?" he asked.
"No, Latin, well, actually, it's La-una, which is Luna for Luna. But we just call it Luna," Blaze said as they walked out of the room, Moment joining them.
"So they don't speak English?" Batman asked worried as they reached the table, everyone had their eyes on the three of them.
"Mostly they do, so words that don't exist on Earth you won't know, and some are just different," Myst answered catching on to their conversation.
"But don't worry, Myst and I will help you," Blaze said as they sat in their chairs.
"No, I'll help you, the Princess will be at the palace," Myst corrected her, she looked at him angrily.
"Myst you know I can't leave you guys," she said.
"And you know you don't have the power to break tradition," he said.
"But she's the princess," Moment said.
"I know, but the only person who can break tradition is the King and Queen, or the person next in line, who at the time happens to be," Myst said.
"Mark and Pat then Tom, we all know that already Myst," Blaze said leaning back in her chair.
"I'm sorry but it's the truth Princess," Myst apologized.
"Let's do this," Blaze said in response. Everyone smiled suddenly.
"Myst I believe you have the honors," Nightwing said. Myst closed her eyes and raised his hands in the air, everyone else was silent as they watched him.
"Ors-ra, on-ra, di-ga, pin-la; Take us to the land of Luna; Ors-ra, on-ra, di-ga, pin-la," he said. A bright yellow mist surrounded all of them and the table, a bright light flashed, then all they saw was bright white.
