Patching Up

A minute later, Andrea and Kevin found themselves back inside the Batcave. "Looks like we made it," said Kevin as he looked around the Batcave. Bruce and Alfred walked in, and Alfred gasped, "my word..."

"Kevin? Is that you?" Bruce asked, looking at his son. "Yeah, it's me Dad," said Kevin, "I got Spliced." Bruce of course recognised his son's mannerisms. "I'm sorry to know this has happened to you," said Bruce, "I should have investigated this matter myself. Finding out about this Splicing was not worth what you had to endure." Andrea crossed her arms and said, "that we can agree on. You better find a cure for our son, or I swear I will make you wish you were dead." Kevin placed his hand on Andrea's shoulder and said, "Mom, please don't take your anger out on Dad. I was the one who volunteered. I think none of us saw this coming. It could have happened to anyone. What matters is that I'm alive."

"I have to side with Master Kevin," said Alfred. Andrea relaxed and said, "alright Kevin... I'll be less hostile towards your father. For you." Bruce then said, "where are the others?"

"They're fighting the security guards and the other Splicers that work there," said Kevin, "knowing them, they'll be back. Did you get the information?" Bruce nodded and said, "I did. What did you learn about the CEO?" Kevin sighed, "it turns out Dr. Moreau is Dr. Achilles Milo. He turned Anthony Romulus into a werewolf, which explains his supposed disappearance..." Bruce nodded and said, "that makes too much sense. We can definitely use the press against Moreau Cosmetics and make sure they pay for what they've done. If I study your DNA, perhaps I could find a possible cure because this serum might be more advanced than the serum Langstrom used." Kevin nodded and said, "it's true." Alfred smiled a little and said, "it's nice to know that those Spliced wankers didn't take away your intelligence, Master Kevin." A few minutes later, Nightwing, Robin, Tyler, and Allan came back in. However, Allan was headless, and Tyler was holding the severed head. "Oh my gosh, Allan! Are you okay?" Kevin asked, "what happened?"

"One of those Splicers ripped my head off," said Allan, "I'm fine. I told you before, I can't freaking die. You think this is bad? You should have seen me step on a landmine in Vietnam... I just need to reconnect my body with my head and I'll be alright." Everyone else suffered mostly minor scratches, and Alfred helped them all get patched up with bandages and such. Allan's head then reconnected with his body, healing up nice. Andrea smiled and said to Dick, "thank you for rescuing my son Dick. That goes for all of you." Dick smiled and said, "no problem Mrs. Beaumont. Kevin's family to all of us. He'd do the same for us." Much later, Andrea tucked Kevin into bed. It wasn't easy due to Kevin's now large height and the fact that he had tons of fur, which would make it impossible to sleep with blankets without getting all sweaty. Andrea used a light sheet as a substitute for a blanket. Since they were both Catholic, they did their nightly prayers to the Our Father. Andrea gently stroked Kevin's face and asked, "you okay?"

"I'm pretty far from okay Mom," admitted Kevin, "but I'm a lot better now that you and the guys rescued me." Andrea kissed her son on the forehead and said, "I have to go back to Bellevue. But how about I stay here until you fall asleep, and I'll sing you that lullaby you always liked hearing when you were younger?" When Kevin was a baby, Andrea didn't sing the typical lullaby songs such as Hush Little Baby and Rock-a-bye Baby. Andrea would sing the song Blue Bayou, as that was her favorite song growing up. Kevin liked listening to that song when he was a baby, and Andrea would often sing it to him to calm him down when he was younger. Kevin smiled and said, "that would be nice..." Andrea then softly sang Blue Bayou. Her soothing voice relaxed Kevin and made him sleepy. By the time Andrea was finished singing the song, Kevin fell asleep, his eyes closed. Andrea smiled and kissed her son on the forehead, saying, "good night my son. I'll always love you with all my heart and soul..." She then left the room through mist and smoke, disappearing.
