She arrived and slammed her fist on the door of the Owl House and Eda opened it.

"Who's... Lily." She growled.

"Edalyn, this is bad. This is very bad!" Lilith said as she took a step inside.

"What are you talking about?" Eda asked.

"Your... your human."

"Luz? What happened? What did you do?" Eda asked with a glare, summoning her staff.

"I didn't do anything! It was.....It was Belos. He and this large behemoth of a man attacked Hexside and kidnapped her!" Lilith said before looking down in shame. "You were right, Luz was right. Belos and his ally put innocent lives at risk and nearly destroyed the school just to get her."

"How do they just kidnap a girl that's half alien!?" Eda said.

"They used some sort of green energy. It weakened her some how." Lilith explained.

"It was kryptonite."

Turning around, Eda and Lilith saw Amity standing behind them with Gus and Willow by her sides. All of them were disheveled and had minor injuries.

"She told it was poison. It hurts her and weakens her." Amity explained.

"A small piece of it, that we found in your house, took her to the ground. If they have even more of it, then there's no telling how much pain she's in." Amity said.

"Great. How can this get any worse?" Eda said.

Questions are meant to be answered, and Eda's was. An entire group of elite Coven Guards ran in and surrounded the house.

"All of you, surrender." The leader said.

"Great." Eda said, "How are we going to deal with this?"

Once again, it was answered, as a sharp black object hit the tree next to the leader. He pulled it out and it was shaped like a bat.

"What the hex?" He asked, showing off the strange weapon.

Suddenly, a man in black landed behind him and grabbed him. He slammed the leader against a tree.

"Where is she." He said, "Where is Superman's daughter."

His appearance got everyone's attention, especially Amity as she gasped. She recognized him from Luz's stories!

"Batman." She said softly.

Another guard ran at Batman from behind, but Batman just raised his fist and hit him. He flipped the main guard and made him land on the ground. Batman put a foot on the man's head.

"Where is she?!"

Another one ran at him. He easily caught the strike and elbowed the guard.

"Whoa, he's good." Eda said with wide eyes.

"Who is he?" Lilith asked, also with wide eyes.

"Someone that trained Luz." Amity said.

"So, he's human?" Gus asked.

"Yep. One of the most dangerous humans in her world." Amity said.

"And the most terrifying."

Two more charged at him. He easily jumped over them and landed on the ground behind them. He turned around and motioned for them to come at him with his hand. They charged, trying to hit him. Batman dodged it and hit one, while blocking a strike from another one.

"Incredible." Lilith said, "There are the seven deadly soldiers, Belos personal hitmen. They've fought armies with bare hands and won. He's beating them with ease."

"I wonder if he gives lesson. I like this style." Eda said as Batman flipped one on the ground and stomped his head to knock him out!

Batman threw two batarangs at two more advancing guards and got them stuck to a tree. He grabbed the last one and held him over the cliff that Eda's house was on.

"Last chance, where is Superman's Daughter?"

"I-I don't know who that is!" He stuttered out.

"Wrong answer." Batman said before dropping him, making him scream before he fired his grappling hook to catch him and dangle him over the Boiling Sea. "Talk!"

"I... I... -"

"You Better talk to me, because when Superman gets here, you will be on a one way trip to the sun." Batman said.

"Y-You're bluffing!" He replied before Batman pulled him back up and grabbed him by the throat.

"Do I LOOK like I'm bluffing?" Batman asked him.

"He's not! You better tell him!" Amity shouted as she and everyone else moved closer behind him.

"They... they took some girl to the castle!" He said, "That's all I know!"

"Thanks." Batman said as he turned and slammed the man into the ground, knocking him out! "Now, onto you six."

"We know Luz! We're not a threat!" Amity instantly said, knowing her dangerous Batman was from Luz's stories.

Batman walked up to them, making them instantly feel fear.

The way he stood, the way he dressed, and even the way he looked at them with an white eye hole mask; it terrified them all! They didn't think someone could make them feel fear like this, nobody besides Belos but here he was!

"You said you know Luz?" Batman asked, stopping before the group and looking at Amity.

"Y-y-yeah. About the same height as me, dark hair, tan skin, caramel eyes, can shoot lasers from them." Amity said.

"She's been staying with me and King since she got here, she's a good kid." Eda said as Batman turned to her.

"Thank you, that puts me at ease for now. Now, where is she?" Batman asked again.

"I know....I saw how she was captured after a large man with gray stone like skin rampaged through a school full of children." Lilith said in shame, looking down to the ground. "Belos arrived after and used some kryptonite to weaken Luz before taking her to the castle."

"Darksied." Batman growled, before pointing at Lilith, "You seem to know more about this world, come with me."

"What about us?" Willow asked.

"Luz is our friend too and this is our world too." Gus added.

"You all will stay here and wait for Superman." Batman said before pulling a blinking capsule from his belt. "This is a beacon; Superman has the other and is following it right now. Greet him and tell him the situation."

"And how will we know when we find him?" Eda asked.

"Trust me, you'll know." Batman said.

He gave the capsule to Amity and turned to Lilith.

"Take me to this castle." Batman said to her, demanding and not asking.

Lilith felt true fear.

"Y-y-yes... Batman... Sir." Lilith said.
