Sitting on the edge of my bed I pressed my feet to the carpeted floor and let out a breath. Pushing myself up I wiggled for a minutes but quickly found my balance.

"Zena?" I jumped and stepped backwards only to loose balance. Dick caught me in his arms and lifted me before placing me on the bed.

"What are you doing?" He asked and I looked down at my feet.

"I was walking." I said and he kneeled, pulling my chin to meet his gaze.

"I want to walk." I said and he smiled.

"We can help you with that." He said pulling out a box from under my bed and pulling out a gate belt.

"No, I want to walk on my own." I said and he sighed.

"Your weak right now-" He was interrupted by a high pitched scream.

"What the-" He stopped as Clark flew by with Bruce before him. He flew out of the room leaving the door open and I pushed myself up. I stumbled but made it to the door and peered down the hall. They were at a room a few doors down. I rushed into the hall grabbing the wall and door knobs for support. The more steps I took the more I could remember how to walk. I wasn't paying attention and bumped into Dick. He turned and wrapped a hand around my waist. I ignored what he was saying as I looked into the room. Lying on the floor was Lily, her skin wrinkled and pale.

"Lily?" I asked and both Bruce and Clark looked at me.

"Did you do this?" Clark asked as tears trailed down his face. My eyes widened with shock.

"No!" I yelled and Clark scooped Lily in his arms. He rocked her as she didn't move.

"Take her back to the room and watch her." Bruce growled and Dick raised me so my feet couldn't touch the ground.

"No! Lily! Where's her mother? Where's Heliconia!?" I yelled as Dick dragged me into my bedroom and laid me on the bed gently. He closed the door behind himself and I felt the tears pouring out.

"Why?" I asked and Dick grabbed me, wrapping his arms around me. I could feel the back of my shirt dampening from his tears.

"Who did this!" I screamed and he rocked me until my sobs subsided. I laid down and he did as well holding me in his arms as we waited. Hours later Clark and Bruce entered the room. Dick jumped up but Bruce shocked him with a taser and he slouched over. Clark grabbed him and laid him on the bed before they came to me.

"What are you doing!" I screamed as they each grabbed a arm. Bruce gave Clark my left to hold with my right while Bruce grabbed my ankles. I fought the urge to use Clark's power as they carried me from the room and down the stares. They turned going past a kitchen with a bar and island and entered a basement door before walking further. Finally we came up to an elevator where Alfred was waiting. We all piled in and the elevator went down.

"Where are we going?" I asked trying to stay calm but none of them spoke. I watched as the elevator opened and a room filled with cages came into view.

"These cages are custom made for any super hero. " Bruce said and Clark sighed.

"Put her in mine." He said and Bruce nodded walking to a huge cage and opening the door. They carried me in and laid me down. I grabbed Clark's shirt and held on for life.

"Clark why? I didn't kill Lily! I would never hurt her!" I sobbed and he turned ripping my hands from his shirt and walking out of the cage. Bruce followed, closing the door behind them.

"I thought we were family!" I screamed and Bruce turned to me.

"Family doesn't kill other family." He said before they pulled into the elevator. The doors closed behind them and I let out a loud sob.

Who would do this? Who would frame me like this? Oh Lily, not baby Lily! I thought as I laid against the metal of the cage.
