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."

"I know." She pours a mug and offers it to him. "The name just stirs up memories."

He accepts it with a nod. "Thanks."

"So you're a lawyer?" She gets her own mug and settles back in her chair, icy eyes on his face.

"I've got a law degree, though I haven't practiced in a few years. I'm actually part of the Diplomatic Corps now, as an ambassador to South Africa. Don't get into Robin-action as much as I'd like... but I think I'm doing more good this way."
