What if the batboys had sisters? What if it was the dynamic trio instead of duo? There is no such thing as normal when you are a member of the Batfamily. Disclaimer: I own nothing except the characters I have made up( for example, the sisters of th...
The owl masked person lead the Grayson twins through a humongous labyrinth. I had memorized the path we has taken just in case of things going wrong. Which with my luck could go wrong. I had just made a deal with the people who kidnapped me and my family. What was going to happen to my siblings? I looked over at my brother, glad that I at least knew that he was okay. As we continued our journey through the maze, I noted in my head how everything was made of white marble. Marble is very expensive to use, so the people here have to be rich. That isn't much to go on but if I've learned anything is that any clue no matter how big or small can help. The owl person stopped and slowly turned to us. He looked at us and creepily says, "Court is now in session". The lights flash bright causing both of us to cover our eyes. Someone from behind shoved me to the ground and I slowly try to get up. Once, my vision returns I look around and see a whole bunch of people standing in front of us, all of them wearing owl masks. "Who are these guys?" Dick asked. "They are the court. The people who truly run Gotham" a voice said behind us. "Lincoln March?!" I said stunned to see the politician my dad has been helping get into office. Dick was going to say something but he was cut off by Lincoln saying, "Don't fight it, this is where you two belong." "What the hell are you talking about!?" I yelled at him. "The court has finally gotten them back. You are members of the court." Lincoln explained. "Members of the court! You say it like its suppose to make sense!" I shouted. "Did Bruce never tell you the story?" Lincoln asked us. "This is the court of owls." Lincoln said smiling. "The court of owls is just a story parents tell their kids so that they behave." Dick argued. "Beware the court of owls that watches all the time. Gazing through your windowsill hiding behind a wall of granite and lime. They see you in your hearth, they see you in your bed. Speak not a whispered word of them or they'll send a talon for your head." I recited the rhyme I had heard from others and that I had been told by Bruce. All Lincoln did was nod and turn to the mass of people watching us up on the balcony like area above. "Richard and Jackie Grayson welcome to the court of owls." the leader said. "We are not apart of the court!" Dick shouted at the leader. "But, you are. Your family has served the court for many years. Isn't that right?" he said. A door to the right of us opened up and two figures stepped into the light. They were wearing black and gold trimmed armor with weapons attached, gauntlets that had metal claws and to hide their face they wore a mask that was somewhat similar to the owl masks the court members wore. The female assassin walked up to me and stared at me, probably assessing who I was. "At last after all these years, you finally return home to take your place with us" she said. "I-who-how?" I said trying to form a sentence but the way she spoke about me, she made it sound like she knew me. "We'll show you" she said. The two removed their masks. When I saw their faces, they looked familiar. They almost looked like me and my brother, except their eyes were yellow instead of blue. "Our names are William and Vanessa Cobb. We are your great grandparents." William explained. "We are talons for the court and now you will become talons too."Vanessa said smiling.

(This is what Vanessa's costumes looks like. Under the mask, she looks similar to William but she also looks like Emily. I thought it would be interesting to have the talons look similar to dick and Emily.)
