"Hey Babe, where have you been?" Artemis asks coming out of their room.
"Went to talk to Connor about something," Dick says.
"Well, change because Billy called and we are going to India," Artemis says changing her outfit.
"Is it time to get you a genetically enhanced pet?"
"Hopefully, the past few times were a bust," Tigress sighs.
"Hey, sometimes it takes a little bit to find the person we are supposed to be with," Dick says changing.
"Can't deny that," Tigress says kissing Nightwing on the cheek.
"Captain Marvel, 15," the Zeta-Tube calls out.
"Hey Cap," Nightwing says putting his mask on.
"You guys ready?"
"Yep, Freda, open balcony doors," Tigress says.
Captain Marvel takes both heroes by the hand and starts to fly.
"We're here," Captain Marvel says setting the two heroes down before landing himself.
A tiger comes up to Captain Marvel.
"Hey Mr. Tawny, do you have new candidates for Tigress?" Captain Marvel pets the tiger.
The tiger growls.
"He wants us to follow him."
"I never realized how fast Mercury was," Tigress says as they follow the tiger.
"Yeah, when I became part of the Justice League, Superman and I would race so I could control my speed."
"That makes sense," Nightwing says.
"How?" Tigress asks.
"Well, even though Captain Marvel looked like an adult when he joined he was really a kid, that was how he was able to help us get the adults back."
"That was insane," Tigress says remembering that day.
"No shit, I had to ask a 17 year old to fly me to you guys since I couldn't use my powers without being an adult, she turned 18 when we were midflight," Captain Marvel says.
"Glad you made it," Nightwing says.
The tiger roars and a group of animals gathers around.
"Just let one of them come to you," Captain Marvel says.
A red-brown wolf walks up to Tigress and sits in front of her.
"Go ahead," Captain Marvel says when Tigress doesn't do anything.
Tigress timidly touches the wolf.
As she scratches his back the wolf thumps his tail with happiness.
"I guess that's the one," Nightwing says.
"Now you just have to name him," Captain Marvel says as the wolf playfully jumps on Tigress.
"Mowgli," Tigress says.
"As in the kid from the Jungle Book?" Captain Marvel asks.
"Yep."
"Makes sense considering Kipling set the story in India, which is where we are now," Nightwing says.
"Well, I have no clue how I am going to carry all three of you," Captain Marvel says.
"No problem, I had Miss Martian follow us in camouflage in case things got insane," Nightwing says.
Baby reveals herself and lands on the ground.
"You ready Mowgli?" Tigress asks.
The wolf barks as they go into the ship.
"Thanks Cap," Nightwing says.
"Anytime, see you later," Captain Marvel says flying away.
