~England, about 2,800 miles from Gotham City~

Helena's POV
"Yes, Hope. I know. I can't promise anything. We'll get back as soon as we can. No! Hope! Wait! Fine. Goodbye."
"Trouble in paradise?" I ask my brother as I come into the room.
"Yeah. A little," Damien admitted, "she says that she'll kill me, the next time she sees me." I pout and give him a hug from behind.
"I'm sorry, Damien!"
"Don't be. I'm fine." He replies chucking the phone on the table.
"Hey guys?" We both look to see Dick at the doorway.
"Yeah?" I ask standing up.
"Holly just texted me. No one can find the kids."
"What?" Jason says coming into the room.
"I'm going to call Birdie." I say going to my room and getting my phone.

~Wayne Manor~

Birdie's POV
"Oh no! My mom's calling!"
"C'mon. We can walk and talk at the at the same time." Scar says continuing to walk up the icy sidewalk.
"Maybe put her on speaker?" Honey suggests moving away from our little group to be with Scar. I do as she says and my mom is put on speaker.
"Hey mom? What's up?"
"Where are you?!" My mom asked concerned.
"Uhh... at home. Why?" I lie.
"No you're not! My Aunt Holly called Uncle Dick and said that she was worried about you." My mom explained.
"That doesn't prove anything she might have-"
"AND the rest are all worried, about ALL of you!" Mom says interrupting me and everyone stops in their tracks.
"Ok... we're not home... or at the diner like we told them." I confess.
"At least your being honest-finally. Now, where are you, really?"
"We... we uh-" I was about to finish but Scar interrupted me.
"We just got back from Wayne Manor." Scar says ashamed.
"You what?!" Aunt Barbara says shocked.
"Yeah... and we found out why you left. We were curious about why you left, so we went to the diner for an alibi and then we went to Wayne Manor to see if we could find any evidence that related to your disappearance." Honey explained.
"We're really sorry, but to be fair you did not tell us that you were leaving." Cosima adds and we all give her a look.

~England~

Bette's POV
"What?! Don't give me that look! We were all thinking it!" My daughter protests making my husband smirk behind his folded hands.
"Well, anyway. We went there. We saw what happened. Everyone in Gotham knows your names. Look, we want to help! What can we do?" Scar asks. Helena looks at all of us. We knew why they wanted to help. We wouldn't done the same thing. Helena then looks at her dad for his approval. He then shakes his head "no".
"I'm sorry but... we don't need the help. We'll be fine. "
"Ok. Bye." Birdie said and then I hung up.
"Explain to me why we can't let them help?" I asked slightly giving a bat glare to dad.
"You can't use my own power against me, sweetheart," dad explained slightly amused at my attempt, "on the matter of them helping, it's too dangerous." Dad replies.
"That's pretty interesting considering that you had boys as young as 13 become your sidekick." I mutter bitterly getting glares from my brothers.
"Hacking." Babs mutters. I perk my head up.
"You think they'd want to do something so extreme?" I ask Babs and she nods.
"They'll do anything to get us back," I nod and she continues, "besides, they know how. You think they wouldn't use that skill?" I nod looking at England's sunset.

~Gotham City, Monday~

Honey's POV
I'm staying at Celeste's house in her room. My brother took their guest room. It's been two days now since my parents have gone missing. I wish we could figure out a way to bring them back... or at least Janie's grandfather could. It kinda baffles me that he's still the commissioner, he's pretty old now. Why hasn't he retired? With that thought in my head I grab my backpack and go out the door with Celeste, Adam and Adian.

~Later, Celeste's House~

Adian's POV

Honey

Hey, can you come in here? I've got to show you something.

Hon: Ok?

I hear footsteps and my sister appears in the doorway.
"Yeah?" She asks.
"Why are you wearing a t-shirt and shorts?" I ask her, curious because it was freezing outside.
"You didn't notice it was really hot in here?" She asks raising an eyebrow and sits on the guest bed next to me.
"Well, anyway. What's up?" She asks in her usual cheery voice.
"I think I might have figured out how to get our parents back." I say smirking and my sister eyes go wide.
"GIVE MA!!" She says and I tilt my head, cringing as she looked like she was in a trance. I give her the computer anyway. She gasps.
"What?" I ask.
"Adian... you are... A GENIUS!!!" She shouts putting her up in the air, as the computer slightly sliding off her legs and then hugs me smiling.
"Shh!!" I reply putting a finger up to my lips and slightly chuckle at her reaction.
"Is everything alright up there?" Superboy asks.
"YES!" We reply. My sister immediately gets up off the bed.
"Wait, where are you going?" I ask my sister and her head pops back into the doorway.
"Going to text the others about what you found. Oh! Wait! Mind if I take a screenshot?" She asks with a slightly begging tone. I nod and she takes the picture and then leave the room.

~Helena's house, Birdie's Room~

Cosima's POV
"You really found a way to get our parents back?" I ask not being able to contain myself. Adian nods.
"It might take a bit more hacking though." Honey explains.
"Just do it so we can get our parents back!" Carmen says getting impatient.
"You're wish is my command." Adian mutters. He denied saying yet, but we all knew it was him.

~England~

Damien's POV
*Ring! Ring! Ring!* I pick up my phone.
"Hello?"
"Uncle Damien?"
"H-honey? Why are you calling me?"
"Is everyone there? I need to be on speaker and you all need to hear this." I called everyone and our Honey on speaker.

Helena's POV
"Don't be mad," Honey says quickly, "but we might'a hacked the your hackers!"
"Yes!" I mutter getting glares from my brothers.
"What did we tell you!" Tim says enraged.
"I know!! And it's not my fault! Adian found it!"
"Gee! Thanks for standing up for me sis!" Adian says sarcastically.
"How did you hack it anyway?" Tim asks his curiosity getting the better of him. After Adian explained it all to Tim, most of it I did not understand, a smile creeped up onto Tim's lips.
"I'll admit, I'm impressed." Tim says at last.
"Yeah. And get this it means-"
"IT MEANS YOU GET TO COME HOME!!" Cosima's shouts excitedly interrupting Adian.
"I was getting to that part!" Adian spat at Cosima.
"I know... I was just too excited." She slightly whispered.
"Well, thank you for informing us." Damien says in a very serious tone.
"You're welcome!" They say together, probably beaming right about now and hang up.
"So... what do we now?" Jason asks curious leaning on one of chairs. Damien almost spoke but dad interrupted him.
"We pack."

~Helena's House, Birdie's Room~

Scarlett's POV
"YES!!" We all cheer.
"What's with the excitement?" Uncle Daxton asks form downstairs.
"We're getting our parents back!" Birdie cheers and Uncle Daxton chuckles at his daughter.
"That's excellent." He says and then begins to walk away.

Scarlett's POV
"Wait... where are you going?" Lil's Bird asks Uncle Daxton.
"To tell Aunt Hope the good news." Uncle Daxton replies putting down the cup that he was cleaning.

~England~

Bruce's POV
"You are all leaving so soon?" Alfred's daughter asks me.
"I'm afraid so, Julia." I reply sadly.
"It's all right. I understand. Your grandchildren must be good kids."
"They are. I wouldn't trade them for anything," I explain looking at my own kids with pride, "oh, that reminds me. Here." I say giving her an urn.
"My father's ashes?!"
"Yes, Alfred would have wanted you to have them. Please take them."
"Well... I don't know if I can. He was your butler." She explains looking at Alfred's urn.
"Yes," I admit, "but he was your father. You deserve to have them." She looks up at me with tears.
"Thank you, Bruce." She says hugging me and I nod as we hear back home.
