Two figures appear in the Batcave beneath Wayne Manor. One should be very familiar to the occupants of this universe. Clad in blue and purple, she's as beautiful as Selena Kyle with all the confidence of Bruce Wayne. Helena Wayne, the Huntress, daughter of the Batman and Catwoman of Earth-Two.

The other is a man approaching forty, just starting to gray, but in the fantastic shape that comes from a lifetime of exercise. His costume is a combination reds, yellows, and green, bright colors that had followed him since childhood. Dick Grayson, Robin, one-time partner of the late Batman and ex-Boy Wonder. He's loosely holding a bag which contains a change of clothes for the two.

"You sure about this, Hel?"

She nods. "I am, Dick. I know she's married and all... but I worry about "Aunt" Brenda sometimes. She's got a lot on her plate and a full house. I'm sure she could use some company and cheering up."

He laughs, something that comes easily to the former sidekick. "Bruce as a woman. Scary thought."

"Wait till you've known her for a few minutes. It won't be so hard." She nods thanks to Adao as he presses the button for her and waits for everyone else to go in before going in himself.

"Trust me on this one, Dick," Helena says with a laugh as they get on. "Kid's an old woman already."

"Yes. Coal for you," says a small voice hidden next to Clark's chest.

Helena gives a curious look in that direction. "Oh really now?"

"Mais oui."

Brenda shakes her head and leads the way from the elevator, which opens on the opposite side to that which they entered.

She laughs again and she follows. "She grew up too quick and sometimes, Dick, I'm not sure you ever grew up all the way."

"Hey," he returns, equally playfully, "You can take the Boy out of the Wonder, but not the Wonder out of the Boy."
