The family continued to wait. Ten minutes had passed and their guests still hadn't arrived. Jason had started to complain, Tim was getting irritated from Jason's complaining, Cass and Damian remained silent.

Another ten minutes had passed before Alfred joined them, bringing with him Tim's coffee.

Suddenly a black dome appeared at the foot of the steps, making a few of them jump. The dome went down revealing a man and two kids. Everyone recognized the man, they've seen him without his glasses on. He is Clark Kent the reporter for the Daily Planet. He is also Superman, a member of the Justice League.
However, they didn't recognize the two kids with him.

"Hello, Clark." Bruce shook his colleague's hand in greeting.

"Good morning, Bruce," Clark said. "Hey guys, how's it been?" he asked the kids, if you consider 22 year old Jason and 18 year old Tim kids.

"It's been good," Jason answered, shaking his hand.

Clark continued to shake everyone's hand. When he got to Damian, he held out his hand like what he did with everyone else. The Boy Wonder kept his arms to his side, looking from Clark's extended hand to his face.

"Okay-y . . ." Clark pulled his hand back awkwardly.

Bruce turned his attention to the children of the Man of Steel. The two kids stood silently watching their exchange. "Welcome to Wayne Manor, you must be Rachel and Jonathan."

Jonathan nodded, his mouth hung open.

Damian noticed Rachel and Jon are both taller than him, almost the same size as each other, Rachel was a bit taller. Though they are siblings, they looked nothing alike. Rachel with pale skin, dark purplish blue hair, and indigo colored eyes. Jon has fair colored skin, like his father, messy black hair, and blue eyes. Rachel, however, did look strangely familiar.

Rachel stared back at him, her jaw was tense. She must've recognized him too.

Suddenly the memory popped into his mind. The day the League of Assassins was taken down.

His grandfather had given him and his mother the simple task to watch their prisoner, while he prepared the ritual. They had been hunting her down for over a month. He stood in front of her and gave her his signature glare, she returned the glare. Her purple eyes blazed with fire. Suddenly two more eyes appeared and a black sphere encased her. He quickly unsheathed his katana and slashed at the sphere, but it just broke his weapon. His mother ran to his side and kicked the girl to the ground. The girl let out a scream and dark spikes shot up. The spikes broke through the room and floor. One shot at him, he jumped to the right, two others targeted his mother. They ran out the room, up the stairs and into his grandfather. 'Grandfather!' he had said. There was fear in his voice, then again everyone was horrified. 'Into the mountains,' his grandfather had ordered. They ran out of Nanda Parbat and into the mountains. The remaining assassins and Al Ghuls regrouped on the side of a cliff overlooking their stronghold. They watched as the ancient building collapsed into a heap of dark smoke. A dark figure of a bird rose from the rubble and disappeared. The smoke cleared to show broken rock and wood, at the center, the Lazarus Pit.

Now, that same girl, who destroyed his first home, who tried to kill him, is standing right in front of him. Clark must've found her after the incident, and adopted her. That would explain why she didn't have any resemblance to the Kents.

"What are you doing here?" he shot at her.

His father gave him a confused look. "Rachel is here to help with the crime. Since the League is needed in Atlantis, heroes are spread thin across the U.S. Kate is still on her own solo mission and we still haven't heard from Duke. Dick's across the country with the Titans and Stephanie's at Happy Harbor. Luke's covering Metropolis, Barbara's in Burnside. That means you guys will be covering both Gotham and Bludhaven."
