A missing persons रिपोर्ट has been filed on Bruce Wayne’s teenage ward, Kyra Grayson. She went missing about six weeks ago. The रिपोर्ट only goes public today on Commissioner Gordon’s word. और on this at five.
The T.V. flicked off. Kenzie, now about six, looked up to Luke and Artemis, who smiled. “Little girls shouldn’t be watching that.”
It was then that Luke noticed something in her eyes.
They were curious as ever, bright and young, but now a deep ocean blue. He nudged Artemis. I know, she mouthed.
“Kenzie, who was that girl on the T.V.?” Kenzie shrugged and pushed herself up onto the edge of the couch. She then flipped off the back, landing in the kitchen. Her hair band snapped, and her hair fell to her shoulders and into her face. Reaching up to the counter, she grabbed a pair of sunglasses and put them on, parading around the living room.
Artemis sighed. “So that’s who she reminds them of.”
She took the sunglasses from Kenzie and pushed her hair back up into a ponytail, then set her on the couch. “Delta!” she called.
Delta came in, balancing a सैंडविच in one hand and a कोक in the other. “‘Sup?” Her eyes settled on the little one hanging over the back of the couch. Kenzie grinned happily, holding her arms out. Delta was easily her प्रिय girl on the team. The twelve साल old placed her lunch on the counter and lifted Kenzie into her arms, swinging her around. “And how are you, Karma?”
Kenzie giggled at the nickname. She absolutely loved it when Delta called her that, considering her powers. Delta set her down on the सोफ़ा, सोफे and cradled her in her arms sweetly.
That’s when she saw her blue eyes. “No way.” Delta took out the locket that Fin had दिया her, and opened it. It had a picture of Dick and Kyra Grayson when they were little on one side, and a picture of the two with Danna when they were older on the other. “Holy shit...”
Manta came in, laughing at Aisling for something, and suddenly paused when she saw a wilted rose in the kitchen. “Um, Delta...”
Delta glanced up, shocked out of her revelation. “Yes?”
Manta pointed. “Isn’t that Fin’s rose?”
Delta spotted the once flaming rose, now wilted and ashy. Manta watched her carefully. “Didn’t आप say that wouldn’t ever go down, because you’d never प्यार anyone as much as your sister?”
Delta, still speechless, nodded, and turned back to Kenzie, who had curled up and fallen asleep.
“Well, I think आप did.”
Delta shook her head no, and Robin, unnoticed, sneaked into the रसोई, रसोईघर and took Delta’s open Coke. Manta was confused द्वारा Delta’s answer. “Whaddya mean ‘no?’”
Delta finally spoke. “Because...” She looked up at Lucas, Artemis, and Manta, shaking her head with wonder. She stared down “Because this is Fin.”
And Robin did a spit take, pulling all attention towards him, and encouraging laughter.
Because he did it on Batman.
