"Mommmm!" A scream echoed through the cave as I helped teach Gar a new fighting style.

Not a moment later grace came running in her eyes a blazing red as Blake followed her laughing like a maniac. Taking a closer look my eyes widened.

"Grace your hair," I said in shock running forward to touch it. Her once beautiful gold locks were now seaming to be died a terrible green. "Oh baby don't worry, I'll fix it," I said wiping away her tears with my thumbs. Pulling her closer she wrapped her arms around my waist.

"Dick!" I yelled making everyone in the room besides grace jump. She had gained my powers but unlike Blake she now also had my canary cry while all he got was the power to shift. Let's just say she had gotten used to loud noises quickly due to her occasional tantrum, what can I say she is her mothers child.

"Ya babe?" He came in slowly a sheepish look on his face.

"Don't babe me," I said placing a hand on my hip my eyes wandered to grace who had unattached herself from me and now held the same pose. "You taught Blake how to make that stuff,"

"No I-" I raised an eyebrow and flicked my own golden tresses. "Ok i did," he said looking down at the ground.

"Blake what do you have to say to your sister?" I said looking at the 7 year old trouble maker.

"I'm sorry I turned you into a green monster," he mumbled wringing his hands together under my gaze. I had mastered the mom stare and have been told many a time that it was worse then a bat glare.

"Good, come grace I know just how to get it out," I said turning with a humph before strutting away. Grace copied my exit to a 't' making be beam with pride.

"Momma how are we going to get this out of my hair?" Grace questioned with a pout.

"With a bit of magic is all," I said with a sly grin winking at her over my shoulder while leading her to a zeta tube.

"Magic?" She said with scrunched eyebrows while she took my hand and stepped through the beam opening our eyes we were now on the watch tower.

"Come on we've got to find Zetanna, she'll fix you right up," her mouth became a perfect oh as she nodded following after me.

We passed many heroes who nodded a hello before their eyes bugged out when they saw Grace.

We came to the largest room of the watch tower where most of the heroes tended to gather and looked around.

"Grace?" I heard Bruce's voice question from behind us.

"Grampa!" She squealed happily running into his arms where he lifted her easily into his hip.

"What happened to my little girl?" He said sympathetically his tough guy manner evaporating in her presence.

"Blake put something in my shampoo and now my hair is green!" She huffed crossing her arms looking just like me.

"You know your mother was just a few years older then you when this exact thing happen to her," my father said walking closer to a window in the tower to give them a little more privacy even though I knew the whole tower was in trapped in this conversation. "You wanna know who did it to her?"

"Who?"

"Your dad," grace gasped with a large 'No!'

"Then why did mommy marry him if he turned her hair green?" She said with a tilted head.

"Because even when people do mean things to you or make a mistake that can hurt you, you still love them. Everybody makes decisions that aren't right but we have to learn to let them go and breath," I was holding back an 'aw' at his little speech along with half of the people here.

"So mommy forgave daddy because she loved him?"

"That's right,"

"Then I guess I forgive Blake," she muttered with a pout. "But I'm still going to dye his suit pink for revenge no one gets away with planking Grace Marie Greyson!" She cackled at the end like a little villain making me stifle a laugh. Bruce's eyes got wide as he looked over at me.

"You taught her this didn't you," I raised my hands in an innocent manner laughing.

"Come on grace we need to find Z so she can fix your hair," grace nodded before kissing Bruce's cheek and hugging him tightly.

"Bye Grampa! I love you!" She shouted running off towards me.

"Love you too, both of you," he said looking at me at the end making me blow him a kiss.

"Love ya dad," I didn't get a step before Zetanna popped out of no where.

"I can fix it!" She said with a grin.

"How did yo-"

"The whole towers been watching Batman the last ten minutes he was in adorable grandpa mode. I heard everything so let's fix your hair," she directed the end of her statement at grace squatting a little so that they were eye level. "riah reh xif,"

Graces hair began to rise off of her shoulders before they seemed to bleed out the green golden locks replacing them.

"There all fixed," graces squealed before attacking Z in a hug shouting a thank you.

We said our good byes to everyone before heading back to the cave for dinner. We zapped in and the smell of smoke hit my nose making my eyes widen. We looked at each other before sprinting to the place the smell was coming from. We skidded in to the kitchen only to find our boys fanning off the place covered in flower and black ash.

"Well that didn't work, good try bud," Dick said patting Blake on the back who stood with a sad look as he stared at the burnt cookies on the counter with a dejected look.

"What are you two doing?" I said with a laugh taking in their matching aprons now.
They turned around with wide eyes looking at us girls.

"I wanted to make grace her favorite cookies to say sorry but I burnt them," Blake said sheepishly. I turned my eyes to Dick this time.

"I was trying to help, I didn't help much though," I laughed walking closer to poke the little rocks on the cooking tray.

"I can tell,"

"I forgive you," grace said out of the blue running forward attacking Blake in a hug who looked shocked but gave his twin a little squeeze back.

"But I turned your hair green and I burnt your cookies?" He said confused.

"Everybody makes decisions that aren't right but we have to learn to let them go and breath," she said quoting bruce word for word making me smile. "I guess I won't dye your suit pink," she said with a sigh.

"Wait what?" Blake said shocked.

"Nothing!" Grace stated an innocent smile that I practically invented covered her lips making me practically ooze pride. That's my girl.
