Part Six:

"Home sweet home," was the general consensus as Young Justice was finally able to move back to Happy Harbor and Mount Justice, kids in tow. Everything had been set up for them to return as most of their enemies had been eliminated from the equation. There had been very little backlash after the Reveal, although Robin had been stationed at Mount Justice almost permanently and they had had to erect a very large barn for Precious. All in all it was a nice new normal and they were all enjoying it.

The Amazons had given them an open invitation to return whenever they wished. Linda had moved into Mount Justice, going back to Paradise Island for the weekends and holidays. Wally followed, telling his parents that he wanted to be on hand for Lian and his friends; surprisingly they agreed but only if he came home for the weekends, parts of the holidays, and summer and as long as he continued his education in Keystone. He happily agreed. Roy had signed on to Young Justice and Kaldur'ahm opted to stay on land with Artemis and Nerissa, after promising his King and Queen and the Princess that he would visit often with Nerissa. The Atlantean also kept his job at the Aquarium. Wally had gotten a part time job in the fast food industry, working for Pizza Manor as a delivery boy.

Conner had signed on under John Stewart, hoping to put his super-strength to good use. Roy mainly stayed home with the kids, only leaving the mountain base to get Lian to and from school and to go to school himself. The kids, all of them, were enrolled in the Keystone Elementary Academy, a very elite and private school who had kindly agreed to accommodate the kids' powers while keeping them amongst the normal kids. M'gann was interning at the Daily Planet, she had always been interested in journalism and so was working and learning under Clark, Lois, and Jimmy Olsen themselves. While she was not at school Artemis was teaching at Dinah and Selina's dojo while Linda interned within Wayne Enterprises' communications and media department.

The kids were growing by leaps and bounds; Mia, Helena, Laura, and Nerissa were beginning to talk in sentences; Jason and Chris were developing telepathy and could thus communicate with everyone else. Don and Dawn had had another unnatural growth spurt, putting them around Lian's age development wise and thus had private tutors and Lian, only in first grade, was reading at a fourth grade reading level.

All was good, until one morning. They stumbled out of their rooms, unbelievably groggy and disoriented, and feeling amazingly weak, to the nursery only to find every crib empty. They did not out and out panic; they searched each room and every nook and cranny, realizing that Lian was missing from her room as well.

Then Barry showed up, wild eyed and greenish, "Do you have the twins?"

"No! Your kids are missing too?"

Clark came flying in, "Is Laura here?"

"She's missing too?"

"Dick! Dick! Dick!" the computer came on to reveal a frantic Bruce, "Do you have Helena?"

"No! She's missing too?"

"Guys! Guys! Guys!" Kyle popped up, bumping Bruce over, "Do you know where John and Hal are?"

"They're missing too?

Then Clark and Conner heard it; the Canary Cry, except it was both mournful and pissed.

"Mia's gone too!"
