Gotham City. The home of the Batman. Your home. The city that you were now protecting as the Batman.

You were once Y/N al Ghul. The future son of Ra's al Ghul.

Then you were Red. A thug who ran with a gang known as the Family.

Now you were Y/N Wayne. The adopted son of Bruce Wayne.

You have already dealt with magical threats, the government, and a secret society known as the Night of Owls. After that, you helped Kaldur put the power of the Throne to Mara of Atlantis. That was a weird, and wet, adventure you didn't want to talk about. What mattered was that Aqualad was now Aquaman and on your side.

You really didn't want to talk about it.

You were now perched on the edge of a gargoyle as you looked at the city below.

Y/N: Another cold night.

Y/N: Just the way I like it.

???: Do you always talk to yourself?

You looked to your left to see the man hovering right next to you, arms crossed and a smirk on his face.

Y/N: Not always. I usually talk to my guy. What are you doing in Gotham, Superboy?

Conner: Just thought I would visit. You seemed really miserable back at Atlantis the other day.

You just groaned as you looked the other way.

Y/N: I hate water.

Conner: Makes sense. But, don't bats swim? I thought I read that somewhere.

You just smirked. Trust Conner to be the one to try to find logic in a joke. The two of you stayed there and looked at the city below.

Conner: There's a weird pleasing, authentic about Gotham.

Y/N: I know what you mean. Down there, in the alleys and the streets, are people who want to cause others harm. It's my job to stop them but, even in the shadows, it turns out, more evil reigns.

???: Not all of us are evil.

You didn't even bother to turn around. Conner did, though.

Y/N: Catwoman.

Catwoman: Batsy~ I see that you have your friend here.

Conner: Uh, who is that?

Y/N: The Catwoman of 2050. She was thrown here with me.

You slowly stood up and turned around to face the girl who had her hands behind her back as she pretended to be innocent.

Y/N: What do you want?

Catwoman smirked.

Catwoman: You~

Y/N: Katie...

Katie: You were more fun back then. Seriously. I didn't know being a buzzkill was a part of the Batman getup.

Conner: Batman is dark and brooding. It's practically in the name.

Y/N: Batman, the Buzzkill.

Katie pouted before she sighed.

Katie: Look, the military isn't in Gotham anymore so I just wanted to say thank you. I don't know what you did, but it worked. So, yeah. Thank you.

You and Conner looked at each other.

Y/N: I didn't do it for you. Or the other Sirens. I did this for my allies.

Katie: Jeez. Take the thanks, man! I'm trying to be nice here.

Conner: If you want to be nice, turn yourself in for robbery.

Katie: Whaaaaaaaaaaaat are you talking about?

You saw that she shifted a bit. Oh yeah. X-Ray vision.

Katie: Are you using X-Ray vision on me?! You creep!

She covered herself with her arms while Conner sighed.

Conner: It doesn't work like that. Anyway, I can see the necklace in your pocket.

Katie looked at the two of you before she sighed and pulled out the diamond necklace from her pocket.

Katie: To be fair, it was just sitting there.

She tossed it to you and you caught it. Felt heavy.

Katie: So, yeah. I'm going home now. Stay sharp and stay handsome~

Without another word, she allowed herself to fall from the roof. Conner watched her while you just stood there unconcerned.

Conner: Man. Gotham really does have some freaks.

Y/N: And I'm one of them.

Conner laughed before another figure landed on the roof.

???: Found you.

Conner: Busy rooftop. Hey, Orphan.

Cassandra: Hello, Superboy.

She then turned to you.

Cassandra: Come home. I want to cuddle.

Y/N: I have patrol.

Cassandra: I already did it. Quiet night. Let's cuddle.

Y/N: No. I have a responsibility.

Cassandra: Your responsibility is to cuddle with me.

You smirked as you turned to her.

Y/N: You're rather persistent tonight.

Cassandra: Like I said.Quiet night.

Conner laughed as he flew up.

Conner: It is late. I'm heading back to Smallville. I'll contact you later or something. Go cuddle with your girlfriend.

You just waved as he flew off with a wink. Now alone, you turned back to Cassandra.

Y/N: So, what's really going on?

Cassandra looked at you before she looked around the rooftop. She then walked over to you, pulled up her mask, and kissed you.

Cassandra: I missed you. You were gone for a week in Atlantis. I want to cuddle. Home. Now.

Seeing her try to boss you around was honestly adorable. You finally shrugged.

Y/N: Alright. Fine. I guess I do owe you anyway.

Cassandra smiled and pulled her mask back down. She then walked to the edge of the roof and turned back to you.

Cassandra: Can we race?

You smirked as you stood next to her.

Y/N: You're on. Winner is big spoon.

Cassandra nodded and the two of you leaped off the roof together.

In the dark, rainy alleyway, a woman walks through the puddles before she place a golden skull on top of a garbage bin. The skull itself had three red eyes. The woman pulled down her hood and smiled.

She knew what she was dealing with now. She knew what this box was and what it could do. She was a frightened and manipulated girl when she opened it last.

Not anymore.

She was going to right her percevied wrongs she was going to erase the evils she unknowingly released.

Her name is Pandora and for the first time since she was sentenced by the Council of Enternity, she had hope.

She placed her hand onto the box, but found it locked. She tried to open it but it wouldn't budge. She struggled before she tossed the box back down. She pulled out her gun and fired off a round that bounced right back and sliced her cheek.

Pandora: Ah!

She dropped her gun and held her cheek as it bled. She grew frustrated before a sudden flash of lighting filled the alleyway.

???: Pandora...I am..sorry.

Pandora turned around and her eyes widened at the sight before her.

Pandora: Wizard?!

Pandora: Is it you that is preventing me from opening this box? If you think you can stop me...

Wizard: Please...listen. I have given the last of my power to my champion. Five transformed to one. I am using what is left to.....tell you that the council was wrong. Our judgements were...poor...the other two of the trinity of sin deserved their punishment....but not you....you were just a young woman who was curious....I am sorry.

Pandora held the Wizard stand.

Pandora: How do I open the box? How can I put back the evils within?

Wizard: You can not...undo what you have done...yet there is a greater power within...only the strongest heart...or the darkest...can open it....can transform....

There was one more flash of lighting which sent Pandora flying into a wall. When she could see again, she saw that the Wizard was now gone.

Pandora: Wizard? WIZARD?! Who can open it?! WHO?!

Hub City...

Officer: There she is!

The two officers ran down the alley where they found the little girl they were looking for.

Officer: We found her. The mayor's daughter.

The officer kneeled down as he holster his gun and the others looked around.

Officer: It's going to be ok, sweetheart. Everything is going to be alright.

The rookie shined his light around before he stopped on a nearby lamp post.

Rookie: What the hell?

The other two looked up and found a man tied to the light itself. A note with a blue ? was on the body.

Rookie: I think it's the kidnapper. John Dandy.

Officer: But who did this? Who saved the mayor's daughter and tie this man up? Who do we thank?

Meanwhile, in an alley not too far away, a figure walked down into the darkness.

???: Poverty. Wealth. Make-up. Dirt. The man with the hat and the girl with the guns. It's all connected. It's all a web. They hold the answers. Don't they? That is....

???: The Question.
