The next day, I wasn't happy at all. I was stuck in the clinic half the day talking to the nurse/my aunt, Aunt Alex. (Mom made sure I was there until 11:30 am).

"Seriously. What is she stressing over?" I asked my aunt.

"Well, you know how your mom is," she replied.

I just sighed and lied down at my bed. I slept from 10:30 am all the way to 11:30 am. Then, I ate lunch at the Cafeteria and headed straight to the lobby. Mom and dad were already there, waiting.

Mom and dad hugged me and well, we flew back to our house. That was it. No words at all.

Mom ordered me to rest at my room and served me lunch on my bed. Dad, on the other hand, was talking to uncle Clark who, will visit me tomorrow.

I checked my phone and dialed Luna's number. Unfortunately, she didn't pick up. I wonder what the daughter of Harley Quinn is doing right now. What was her name again? Jester, am I righ? Although if I recall correctly, she liked being called Jessie.

I'm actually wondering if she knows who I am...

"Ellie? Your uncle Olie is here!" mom yelled from the first floor of our quaint house.

I ran down the stairs, to see my dashing uncle sitting on our couch, sipping coffee.

I ran to him and hugged him. I said, "I missed you so much uncle Olie! Where's auntie Laurel?"

He looked at me and said, "Well, the city needed the Black Canary so..."

Uncle Olie and I chatted for hours. And at around 5:30 pm, he went back to his city. He still has to take care of their newborn baby, Halsey Queen.

The next day, when I came down the stairs, I caught mom using her Heat Vision to make my breakfast warm.

"Caught in the act mom!"

"Aww. Dammit!"

"Seriously mom? We have a microwave for a reason!"

"It broke honey."

Then, mom ushered me to take a seat. But before I could get my first bite, I ran up the stairs to my room, and took my phone. I ran back down and ate, while dialing Luna's number again.

Still not answering. What is up with Luna? Hmm...

A few hours later, uncle Clark and I are in the patio, sipping tea and talking about the "Churros Incident". Our bonding didn't last long since uncle Clark had to fly away and save the Metropolis from another villain. I sighed sinking into my chair then my phone rang. It was Luna.

"Where on Earth are you! I've been calling you again and again Luna!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. I miss you too dear cousin but where are you and your family? The school is under attack by every single villain alive and we need help STAT!" then she hang up.

I rushed back to my parents and told them.
