As Talia watched her boys get away she continued fighting off the attackers. That is when she noticed a man with a black and orange mask making his escape. That is when the rest of the attackers followed him and retreated. Talia and the remaining assassins took out as many other helicopters but Slade got away.

When Talia went to find her father she found his burnt body with his head separated from it. It was then that she realized Ubu was a traitor as well since he was nowhere to be seen.

"Lady Talia, what do you want us to do?" one of the few assassins asked her.

"Prepare a ship for Gotham. I want to be there by nightfall," talia said with a look of hidden anger and determination. The best person to help her and her sons was her beloved, the father of her triplets. The remaining assassins and Talia got a boat ready and they set off to Gotham.

Time skip...

In Gotham, during the dark night their was trouble stirring when a certain croc was stealing some drugs from a cellar. With a shadow passing by the croc who didn't notice that he was about to have his plan foiled.

"Waylon Jones, aka. Killer Croc. Stealing drugs isn't your usual MO," a voice called out. Killer Croc turned around trying to find the voice when the shadow of a bat appeared right in front of him.

"You," Croc said in disdain.

"When half the biotech firms in town get hit, I get curious. You look like you've been working out, Croc," Croc then got his tail ready to swing and swung it at Batman, who dodged it.

"The tail's new," Batman stated.

"Yeah, got an upgrade," Killer Croc said. He then used his tail to rip a tank and throw it at Batman who also dodged it and threw batarangs at him... but they did nothing. Killer Croc just brushed them off and started growling.

"That's right, run," Killer Croc said as he chased after Batman but lost sight of him. It was then that Batman appear and began punching Killer Croc in the face a bunch of times, but Killer Croc used his tail to wrap it around Batman's waste and throw him out the window.

Batman shot his grapple hook and swung into a window, breaking the glass. He then go up and began hiding in the shadows. Meanwhile Croc was searching for him but got hit by a forklift truck.

"What's your hurry Croc? I'm not done with you," Batman said, standing on a tall shelf. Croc then used his strength to lift the truck and throw it at Batman. Batman was able to grapple away but Croc used his tail and wrapped it around his feet and pulled him down. Batman was then thrown against a wall with croc taking a few punches at him. Croc then grabbed his head.

"You know, Bats...the problem with steroids is I get the munchies," killer Croc said as he opened his mouth about to bite off Batman's head. All of sudden Croc got electrified by something, and then he fainted.

"Hello, my love. You should have warned your play date. I'm the only one who can bite you," said Talia who had a gun on hand.

After taking care of Killer Croc Batman followed Talia back to her ship but instead of dressing up like he thought she would she was still in her assassin outfit.

"Would you like a drink?" Talia asked.

"Last time, that didn't go so well," Batman answered.

"Oh, you're right. If I remember correctly, I put a little something in your beverage," Talia said with a happy look.

"Same way I remember it," he answered back.

"It made you romantic," Talia said.

"It made me do what you wanted," Batman answered back,

"Was it all bad, beloved?" Talia asked with a raised eyebrow.

Batman sighed and answered," No, it wasn't all bad."

"Then you remember our shared moonlight?" Talia asked.

"Some of it,"

"The best parts?" she questioned

"Talia, what do you want?"

Talia sighed and stepped away from her Beloved. She could already hear his minions. She looked at Bruce and said in a serious voice," I don't have much time so I need you to listen closely."

He looked at her shocked, something must be wrong, she is only like this when she is getting ready to attack. He nodded wanting to know what this was about.

"My father, he's dead," She said with a sad tone

"Ra's?"

"How many fathers do I have?" she said with disdain.

"Sorry. He always seemed-" he was cut off by her.

"Like you? Indestructible? I know but that isn't the reason I am here," She said getting on track since she could sense something was wrong. Bat took notice of her nervous tone and began having his guard up.

"After that night–gahhh," Talia was cut off by a bullet hitting her. She fell into Batman's arms.

"Beloved listen to me. I had- hhad trip-triplets that night," talia was taking deep breaths and continued," they're in danger- ppleease find them." Talia said, barely holding on to life.

"Who is after them?" Batman questioned, surprised that he triplets.

"Slade.. h-he is after them." With that Talia took her last breath.

Batman then carried Talia bridal style, but not before grabbing three files on a table nearby. Then he left. A day later he had Talia buried but when he got home Bruce took a look at the files. They were files on his boys including their information, a blood test, and their powers.

Bruce decided to look at the note Talia had in the back of Meliodas' file that said, they will be comin, please find them. Ever since Bruce kept an eye open as Bruce Wayne and Batman. He will find them. Triplets... he had three biological triplets.

During patrol, three days after Talia's death he noticed a fight going on between ninjas and... three boys? When he looked closer he noticed that Deathstroke was also fighting down there meaning... he looked closer at the tree boys and noticed it was them. The three triplets Talia told him about. He then noticed that Zeldris, Damian, and Meliodas were cornered and close to fainting. That is when he decided to interfere.
