Chpt.20

I woke up feeling warm fingers stroke through my hair and a numbing sensation in my arm. Blinking my eyes open, I saw Wonder Woman staring down at me with a warm smile on her face.

"Am I dreaming?" I inquired in a shaky voice.

"No honey, no. This is real. You are safe." Wonder Woman's voice was smooth and warm and I felt tears gathering in my eyes.

"I missed you so much.: I whispered and she kissed my forehead.

"We missed you too." She smiled.

When I sat up, I noticed that I was in Wayne Manor, and all of my adopted family was around me. Lenore was also sitting next to me, her hand on top of my cut on my arm, which was numbly healing it slowly. Next to Lenore was a boy who was covered in burn scars, but his eyes were so familiar.

It was Misha.

"Hey Autumn." He smiled at me. "Sorry if I'm not pretty in flesh and blood." He smirked and I hugged him tightly.

"It's great to be able to see you while others can too." I grinned.

I then felt myself being hugged by Tim and Dick.

"You know how worried we were for you?" Dick questioned.

"Yeah, don't ever let something like that happen again." Tim stated and I wanted to chuckle, but I found myself replying very seriously saying,

"I don't plan on ever experiencing something like that again."

"Autumn." I looked up to see Bruce and I hugged him tightly. "Autumn." Bruce crouched to be at my height. "Lenore told us what happened. I know a therapist that you two can talk to. Lenore agreed to seeing her. Do you?" he questioned.

"Yes. I agree." I nodded. That was something terrifying that I went through. I needed to talk about it or else Vivian's dead body would forever be haunting me.

It was wonderful to be back with my family. Lenore, Misha, and I lived in Wayne Manor. Misha never really had a family since he was placed in an orphanage and never adopted, so Bruce was quick to adopt him, along with Lenore, who's adopted family was killed.

Austin was placed into a high grade military facility since he was considered incredibly dangerous, which I agreed with. Tala was then placed into a different military facility called Cadmus.

Lenore, Misha, and I were then allowed to train with one of the League's friends called Zatanna.

Zatanna was incredibly nice and a fantastic teacher. Soon enough, Lenore, Misha, and I were fairly talented magicians.

"Autumn! Dinner's ready! Come down, and wake up Misha while you're at it or Alfred's meal's gonna get cold!" Lenore exclaimed.

Autumn looked up from her notebook and rubbed her face. Sure, she probably couldn't hand in this essay for her memoire for class, but it was good to have her life documented. She felt good writing down what happened to her years ago.

"Coming!" she shouted, then poofed into the next room where Misha was asleep, probably touring Ireland, since he tended to travel places when he slept and as of late. Ireland was on his 'to visit' list.

"Misha. Wake up." Autumn stated gently, nudging at the older boy.

"Uhhh. Autumn. I was liking Wales." He grumbled.

"I thought you wanted to go to Ireland."

"That's next week." He yawned as he sat up.

"Well, whatever, Wales doesn't have Alfred's cooking." Autumn smirked, which seemed to get the boy's attention.

"Oh! I could go for some food." Misha smirked, rolling out of bed.

"Beat ya there!" Autumn exclaimed with a smile.

"Wait-" but it was too late. Autumn already teleported herself to the dining room. "No fair." Misha pouted.

Autumn appeared next to Tim, nearly giving the boy a heart attack, then skipped over to the table.

"You're gonna kill me one day from all your poofing around." Tim mumbled and Autumn just giggled.

"I thought you'd be used to it by now." The girl smile as she leaned onto the table with her elbows, next to Lenore who had her nose buried in a book.

Alfred walked by saying,

"Miss Lenore, books away at the table, Miss Autumn, please get your elbows off the table, and Master Timothy, please take your hat off while at the table."

"Yes Alfred." they all said in unison, doing what was told.

"Now, where is Master Misha and Master Bruce?" Alfred wondered out loud. Just then Bruce came walking into the room, looking incredibly sleep deprived.

"Joker's out in Gotham. I should go." He stated, but Alfred crossed his arms.

"I am simply asking you to have a family meal. Gotham can wait, now sit down." Alfred stated and Bruce obeyed.

It was then when Misha walked into the room, hair still disheveled from sleeping.

"So, what's for dinner?" he questioned with a small smile.

Now that everyone was at the table, Alfred brought out the meal for them to eat. Autumn looked around at her family, smiling to herself.

"What's got you so smiley?" Tim inquired and Autumn just chuckled.

"Just thinking about my family."
