Chapter 1

Toph didn't know how this happened, nor did she want to find out. But judging by the fact that she crashed into a table while people were eating. And the fact that one of them decided to throw knives at the sight of her landing on the table. Didn't send any good signs for her. So She ducked under the knives that were flying at her by listening to the sounds of it moves through the air. Then by using her seismic sense to get an idea of the room around her. Using the small bits of metal she was able to detect. Bending them to trap the person that threw the knives. That proved successful if another person didn't decide it was a good idea to shoot small pieces of metal at her. Which she gratefully dodged all them from hitting her. Sensing the metal in their hands. Bending it from shooting those little annoying pieces of metal. Moving said person to the wall, trapping them with the bits metal around them. Disabling the person from moving.

"Who are you and what do you want!?" Asked a male from right behind her. And judging by the vibrations from around her. There are six people right behind her in a battle stance. Plus the person in front of her is not saying very bright things to her face.

"You're tense," Toph said blankly. In fact, they were all tense. They were acting like she was going to attack them head-on.

"We wouldn't be if you didn't attack Jaybird!" Said another male.

"Okay for one, that one threw knives at me. And this one-," Toph gestured to the wall. "Shot small pieces of metal at me. So you guys were the ones that started it," explained Toph. She wasn't wrong. All she did was crash into a table after falling into something that she would've detected. But it appeared suddenly. Too suddenly when she was going on a stroll.

Which reminded her. She feels younger. Her back was no longer killing her. She has more energy than she normally did when she was an old lady.

"Now if you would excuse me, I am going to go take a nap outside," exclaimed Toph as she walked towards the door. To then be stopped when she jumped to avoid an object from wrapping around her ankle.

"You won't be going anywhere unless you answer our questions," said a tall male that was the first behind her.

Sighing, she turned around to look at the person in front of her. Well... more like looking at their body since she's blind.

"Fine, I will stay and answer your questions. If you explain why there is a cave right below this massive building," reasoned Toph. She seriously wanted to know why a huge chunk of earth is suddenly missing under this building. The last time this happened. She ended up subduing the person trying to kill her.

"Okay, I will tell you, if you get my son unattached from the wall," said the man. Toph sighed. And with a swift motion. The metal fell to the ground. Making the man free.

"How do you do that?" Questioned a young man.

"What do you mean?" asked Toph. 'Does he not know what metal bending is?' Thought Toph. Well, her time here so far is strange. Especially those little pieces of metal. They were interesting. But she has seen better.

"How do you move the metal?" Question the man.

"I metal bend," Toph deadpanned. 'Do they not know what bending is?' Questioned Toph. Her time here just gets weirder and weirder.

"Metal bend? What's that?"

'Okay, maybe they really don't know what bending is.' Thought Toph.

"Okay, what about Alfred takes..." started the man.

"Toph."

"Toph to a room. While we figure this out," said the grown man. Toph nodded and followed an older gentleman out of the room she popped into.

"Father! Why would you let that imbecile roam our house!" Yelled a furious assassin.

"Damian," reprimanded Bruce. It made Damian shut up for now. The first thing he needs to establish is who the person is and how they got here.

"Tim, can you see if Bart knows who Toph is?" Asked Bruce. Tim nodded and started to call one of his best friends.

"Okay, so what do we know so far?" Asked Bruce.

"She fell through a portal onto the table. Dodged all our attempts at attacking her. Subdued me with metal, which she moved on their own. She also destroyed my precious guns!" Explained Jason as he held up his now destroyed guns. Bruce nodded.

"She also looked blind," Added Dick.

"How so?" Questioned Bruce.

"She wouldn't look anyone in the eye. And her eyes were a gray color," explained Dick. It was the first thing he noticed when she crashed onto the table during dinner.

"Okay, I am going to be putting you on speaker," said Tim as he put his call with Bart on speaker.

"WOW, you guys met Toph Beifong!?" Exclaimed an excited speedster. Well, now they know her last name.

"Yes, what can you tell us about her?" Asked Bruce in his Batman's voice.

"Well from what I know from the future. Toph Beifong is an earth bender from another world! And... get this, she is also the to-go person to train someone! And to some people, she is a therapist of some sort," explained Bart.

"Thank you, Bart, we will call you when we need more info," said Tim.

"Yourr welcome!" Said Bart as he ended the call with Tim.

"Well, now that we know more about her, what do you suggest we do B?" asked Dick. Bruce thought about it for a moment. Bart said that Toph trained heroes. And that she came from a different world.

"For now we observe. And Dick I want you to try to become her friend," said Bruce. Dick nodded at the idea of having another friend. A person who can move metal is interesting as is. But earth bending!? Is sure going to be interesting to see.

Toph settled into her room. That had a big bed and bathroom. Which she is sure she isn't going to use. She would rather sleep on the nice hard ground of earth. A place where she can feel the vibrations. A place where she can be in tune with nature. A place where she can see the world through the roots of plants. But the closest thing she is getting to the cold hard earth is the floor. And that is where she is going to sleep. The floor. With a pillow under her head. And the blanket over her.

And just as she was going to take a nap. She felt someone walking towards the door of her room now. Knocking. She told them to come in. Noticing that it was the young man that said Jaybird.

"What do you want?" Questioned Toph. She really wanted her nap. And these people weren't helping at all.

"Relax, I just wanted to introduce myself," said the man. Toph didn't respond. And he took that chance to introduce himself to her.

"My name is Richard Grayson. But people call me Dick," introduced Dick. Toph laughed at his nickname. Richard looked at her. Already expecting this reaction. Everyone does the same things when he says his nickname.

"Yeah, yeah, laugh it off," said Dick.

"Why is your name Dick!?" Questioned Toph as she continued to laugh at his demise. Seriously, who names their son Dick? Even she knows not to name her children that. Even if her two girls were boys. Never would she name them another term for penis. She was sure she would use it to mock people who were a dick.

"I don't know. My parents called me that as long as I could remember," replied Richard. Toph laughs slowly died down.

"And where are they?" Asked Toph as she let out a small giggle. She was staring at the wall as Dick was standing awkwardly in front of the closed door.

"They died while performing in the circus... I saw their deaths," said Dick. The mention of his parents' death didn't bother him anymore. But seeing them fall to their deaths still haunts him in his dreams.

Toph stopped laughing completely and turned to face Dick. As a parent herself, she knows what could happen if she died when her girls were still young. Sure, she wasn't a great parent. But she still cared for her girls in different ways than normal people. And depending on if they saw the deaths of the parent. They would get impending nightmares about it. Along with neverending trauma. It lessens over time. But the child will think it was their fault that they died in the first place.

"Sorry I asked," said Toph.

"No, no, it's fine. They died a long time ago actually. I got over their deaths long ago," said Dick. Moving to sit on the bare bed with no blanket.

"You sure? Because anyone who witnesses the death of a parent is sure to get trauma from it," said Toph as she settled into the blanket. At this point, she was ready to fall asleep. But the person present in the room isn't going to help.

"Yeah, I'm sure," replied Dick. He then remembered Bart said that she can be some sort of therapist.

"Okay, now can you leave and not disturb my sleep? Also, can you tell the people on the other side of the door to not eavesdrop? Cus that will be great," explained Toph as she started to fall asleep. Dick then quickly opened the door to find Jason and Tim at the door trying to listen in on the conversation. He quickly left the room, shutting the door behind him.

"Finally, some peace and quiet," said Toph as she drifted off to sleep.
