It's been a year since the Reach left earth, I've rejoined the Team. Now, I'm the only member on the team thats been on it since it was started. Dick joined the League, so did Conner and Magan. Who I'm happy to say, got back together, I'd say things are going well for them because they are engaged. Aqualad also joined the team a few months after Walley got back. I'm now the Team leader and the Antique Member of the team. They call me this because I've been on the team for eight years, I hate that name though.

After I was brought back to health by doctors, Fate tampered the memories of all our enemies, except Thalia, I asked she be spared for she did raise me in a way. I have had it pretty good since I came back, I've been elected President, I'm the first female president in the history of our country and the youngest. I'm currently 19, apperantly being legally dead twice is big news. I was elected because I've faced all the wrong in the world, and I always try to make it better. One of the horrible parts of being the president, I have to act helpless when danger strikes, one of the best things about it is that I can still lead the team. My body guards know of my night time job, and let me assign missions during the day. The team and League all try to make things easier for me, because I live what everyone considers an impossible life. I'm forced to live in the White House, I'm sad that I cant live in the Manor with Bruce, Dick, and Tim. I have three years left in office, then I can go back to a semi-normal life, unless I'm reelected to office. Today is one of  the few days I get to go to Gotham and visit my family, I get to go a few times a year. Christmas, Thanksgiving, Dick and my birthday(Thanks for nothing Clarion), Bruce's birthday, and then a few other days. I love going home, but when it's for my birthday, I am not really happy, Clarion changed my actual birthday. Don't get me wrong, I love Dick, and we are amazing twins, I just miss being my actual age. In reality, I'm only 14, however, cuz of Clarion, I was aged four years.

So far, as President, I've made a lot of headway in my projects. I have changed the budget for the entire government, more to the education, Children care, medical, security, and protection. The military can deal with a lower budget for a while, we don't need soldiers as much as we need these other things. The schools are now able to teach students better, there are more fanatical programs, to ensure everyone gets to go to school. I also have had several facilities built for homeless people and orphans, so they have a chance at a better future. The health care and medical situation has also greatly improved, I know first hand that good medical facilities are needed, and that everyone should have access to hospitals. The protection of people has dramatically improved, I'm not allowing any other children to be ripped from their families, or have families hurt because there wasn't proper security or protection in an area.

I smile, I've done a good job so far at helping the people of our country. It also helps that I fight crime at night, and I know the Justice League. We are getting close to Gotham now, I'm excited to see my brother. However, I have this feeling that somethings about to happen, something big. I hope that I'm just imagining this, but I came prepared. I'm in jeans, a blue shirt, and shoes that I can run in(Ballet flats with a strap to ensure they wont fly off), I also put my hair up in a ponytail. I'm holding my songbird necklace, I tend to do this when I get nervous. I also have my locket on, I rarely part with my treasured jewelry now. As I look out the window of my car, I notice something. There are people running on the roofs of the buildings we are passing, and there are sketchy cars following us. I look at the people very closely, and I recognize the uniforms they are wearing. Well, why wouldn't I.

These are League of Assassin members!!!!

I quickly glance at my security guards, they haven't noticed the assassins following us. I look out the window again, and see that they are about to launch a rocket at the car. My eyes widen as they launch the rocket, I quickly jump out the car. The rocket hits the car I was in moments ago right as I hit the ground, I'm blasted forwards. People are now screaming, and running around. Good thing I always listen to Bruce, well on things that will keep me alive. I hit the button on my hearing aids, this will send out a beacon signaling I need backup and cant fight back. We installed this when I became president, and this is the first time I've had to use it. As I get up, I become surrounded by the assassins cars. I look all around and find that I'm surrounded, the only way I can get out of this mess is if I blow my cover. I would if there weren't so many civilians, and also if I wasn't forced to wear my presidential pin. I curse, I should have seen this coming. The doors to the cars open, and lots of assassins exit the cars, they see me then start to attack me, but then they stop and bow. Ok, Now I'm confused. I look up to see Thalia exiting a car, she is looking at me, with a smile on her face.
