Damien

Mother dragged me to the secret hideout here in Gotham, and what I saw there shocked me. Jane, she is suspended by chains, with this contraption on her head. She's glowing blue, and lets just say she dosen't look healthy. Her skin is so pale, she is so thin, and her skin is clinging to her bones.

"Sister! Mother, what have you done to her?!?!" Mother just laughs, then sister is lowered. I rush up to her, and I catch her before she hits the ground.

"I only gave her back life son, she was so grateful to me for doing that, who knew all it would take for me to get her cooperation was to not let her memory return." Mother started laughing, she sounded insane!
"Dami?" I hear someone weakly say, and I look down and see sister, she is slightly conscious, but has a weak small smile on her face.
"Sister!" I say as I hug her, she just melts into my touch. Mother approached us, and I panicked.
"Sister, do you still have your healing?" She weakly nods her head no, and I fear for her health.
"It's time for the ceremony." Mother says as she tore my sisters body from my arms, then dragged her to some ropes. I was being tied with ropes as well, but I was in a position that allowed me to activate my distress signal that dad had installed on my watch.

Open

The hero's got the distress beacon, it was coming from under Gotham Park. They rushed to the scene, hoping that they can save the two bats before it was too late.
Damien was struggling to free himself from the ropes that bound his body, but was only getting rope burn in the process. Jane, she was just too weak to do anything. Thalia then started reciting the spell, when the wall busted open, revealing the hero's.
"Ahh, I was wondering if you'd find us, but no matter. I shall fix my children." Then she started laughing.
"Get the hell away from my siblings!!" Dick screamed, as he threw explosives at her. The blast threw the bats to their rescuers, and the captor the other way. Batman rushes to his kids and undid the ropes.
"Damien, help Jane get to GCPD, you need to help her get there. Go, now!" He ordered as lots of Assassins started fighting the League, Damien grabbed his sisters hand and bolted for the exit.

Time skip, lots of running

It was just a normal day at GCPD, well, until two people crashed through the glass door. One was in a beautiful blue formal dress, it had rips on it. And the girl was thin and pale. Then there was a boy, the Commissioner recognized the boy immediately.
"That's Damien Wayne, what's he doin here?!?" He exclaimed, then gunshots where heard outside the building. The girl bolted up, and turned around, right as a bullet pierced her flesh. She grunted in pain, then collapsed. The police ran out to stop the gunshots, and found a whole lot of thugs. The Commissioner activated the Bat signal, and prayed for Batman to show up.
Time skip
Lots of rounds had been fired, and most of not all of the police where injured. The police where about to give up hope, when the Justice League showed up.
"Thank the lord!" One officer yelled, as he collapsed to the ground. The JLA took care of the gangs within minutes, and then they started rushing officers to the hospital.
"Batman, Bruce Wayne's son, and a girl are in the building, both seem to be injured." Batman nods then him and Nightwing rush into the building to get their family.

Jane was rushed into the ER and was being treated, while the hospital was running a blood sample to locate her family. When the results came up, they where shocked. How can it be? How can Jane Grayson be alive? They asked themselves, but then decided to call Bruce Wayne.
When Bruce answered the phone, he had a feeling who it was, however, hearing the news, made his hope a reality.
"Hello, Mr. Wayne."
"Bruce here."
"You son Damien was brought here earlier this night, due to a shooting that he was caught in the crossfire at. Also, by some miracle or whatever, your daughter is back."
"What do you mean? Heather is here at home?"
"No Mr. Wayne. Your other daughter, Jane. She was also brought in, and I can't explain how she is alive. Whatever happened is beyond my knowledge, but she was brought here and wasn't in good health. Please come to Gotham General for me to better explain, have a good day." Then the Doctor ended the phone call, and Bruce just made a B-line for the hospital.
When he got there, he found the doctor that called him. Bruce was led to a side room, so he could be spoken to in private.
"Mr. Wayne, your daughter coming back from the grave. This-this is phenomenal, I heard rumors that your son Jason, also returned from the grave, so you know what could have caused it?" The doctor asked with hope in his eyes, Bruce knew he had to lie. Only to protect his children.
"No, I'm sorry but I don't. Do you think I'll be able to see my daughter?" Bruce says, he genuinely wanted to see Jane again.
"Of course, but umm, Mr. Wayne, we have to tell the public. She was the president, the country needs to know she is back."
"Ok, we will tell them once she is better. Until then, please keep it quiet. I don't want any bad people attacking her while she is healing, because at her funeral, the world was told she was Blue J."
"I understand completely, now, this way please." Bruce was led to the private rooms, where the wealthier people went. Damien was asleep in a hospital bed, and he was fine. When Bruce laid eyes on his daughter, tears appeared in his eyes. He rushed over to her sleeping form, and brushed a hair away from her face. He saw the machines she was hooked up to, and sighed.
"Doctor, how long until she wakes up?"
"A few hours till the drugs wear off, I'll leave you be. Oh, and you have my sincerest congratulations. If that's the right word, for your daughters return." Then the doctor left, Bruce called his other children to the hospital, and they all where there in a flash. Dick rushed up to his sisters side immediately, and the others waited anxiously for her to wake up. Bruce feared for her safety, so he made a phone call to Dr. Fate.
"What is it Batman?"
"Fate, can you please cast a spell erasing everyone's knowledge that Jane was Blue J, don't take the part where Blue J died away, just alter it, where Jane went missing for a year and we held a funeral for she was assumed dead."
"Ok, I'll do this." Then the spell was cast, Jane should still be the president, since she is alive.
"Ugh, what happened?" Everyone turned and saw Jane up. Dick rushes to her side, and she looks dazed. Only a few people will know the truth, that being me and Dr. Fate.
"Jane! You've been missing for a year, so you hear me, one year!"
"Ouche, Dick, volume." She says back. I smile, everything is as it should be.
