Everyone was here to celebrate her birthday. They were at a building renting it for the party. Everyone was talking, playing, eating, and dancing. Brooklyn got her a special gift, it was a necklace with a red heart-shaped ruby.

He only hopes she'll love it. He was also was planning to ask her out on a date. He put it in his jacket's pocket and walked over to enjoy the party with the others.

Brooklyn then saw Broadway with Freddy, Jack, Dirk, Quint, and June eating some snacks.

"Hey guys." Brooklyn said.

"Hey Brook." Freddy said as he's eating some cookies. Broadway decided to have a brother-to-brother talk with him.

"So, what did you get Ryan?" Broadway asked. Brooklyn showed him.

"A ruby necklace. I'm also going to ask her out on a date." Brooklyn said.

"Really? Awesome, bro! I'm sure she go out with you." Broadway said.

"I'm just nervous that she'll reject me. I still scared to do it." Brooklyn said.

"Don't worry, bro. I'm sure she'll go with you. You just got to be brave." Broadway said as he joins Angela on the dance floor. Brooklyn sees Ryan talking with Lucas, Mary, and Alex. He goes over to them to talk.

"Hey, Ryan." Brooklyn said.

"Hey, Brook." Ryan said. The others decided to leave the two.

"So do you like the party so far?" Brooklyn asked.

"Yeah. It's really great. I just wish Kate was here." She said.

"I'm sure she'll wish you a happy birthday. You know she's out there looking for Bruce Wayne. Hopefully she does." Brooklyn said. He and the other gargoyles miss their old pal Bruce.

Drill Man switches his drills to hands and began to DJ on the music board. Dr. Light, Cisco, Chester, Ray, and Ryan upgraded him that his drills could be switched to hand to make music, his dream.

"Alright, everyone. Here comes a upbeat song for the birthday girl to get everyone to dance." Drill Man said. He switches the song to "One More Time" on the soundtrack. The music filled the room with the beat, getting everyone to dance.

William in his hidden area was watching this. The music was beautiful and so joyful. Listening to it made him want to dance. If only his dad could see this. He didn't understand how his dad said they people were cruel, there were Gargoyles with them and they weren't calling them freaks or scared of them. He knew there were some people who were kind. He saw the kids he met having fun with the others at the party. He also saw people dancing on the dance floor.

The music switched and went on for 2 hours, until Oliver Queen signal Drill Man to cut the music. Drill Man then stopped the music and everyone turned to face Oliver.

"Can I have all of your attention. Thank you. I just want to say: thank you everyone, for coming all the way from your cities to here. Celebrating one of our members' birthday. Ryan Wilder, our new Dark Knight." Oliver said as he hands her the mike with everyone clapping for her. She walked up the stage to speak.

"Thank you, everyone. Before I met you or my team, I was a nobody. Until I found that suit which changed my life for the better. I've got to meet these two and those amazing gargoyles." She pointed at Lucas, Mary, and the Gargoyles. "I got new friends and a new family with them. My beginning may have been rough, but my ending is fantastic. Thank you all for caring for me as I care for you all." Ryan said.

Everyone clapped in applause to her speech. She really did have got friends and a family. Meanwhile, Croc continues to track down his son's scent. He excepted him to head home since he knows the way, but his trail wasn't that way. He then found it to be at a building with loud noises coming out. He must've gone into that party. He growled in anger. William is going to get a serious talk to when he gets him.

Back at the party, Chef then came out of the kitchen with a giant birthday cake in his hands all happy.

"Who's the birthday girl?! Delicious cake coming this way! Don't worry, I made it just like in your human cook books." Chef said placing the cake on the table.

"Wow, Chef. It's beautiful. Better than all of your cooking." Dirk said as they looked at the cake.

"Hah hah. Very funny, sweet-cheeks." Chef said as puts the cake on the table. Ryan saw it and was amazed by it.

"This is beautiful, Chef. Thank you." Ryan said after giving him a kiss on the cheek. Chef blushed hard.

They begin to eat cake and Ryan begins to open up gifts given to her. It was many things. Some where outfits, dresses, and new equipment. Brooklyn was the last one to give her a gift. She opens the box to see a heart-shaped ruby necklace.

"Brooklyn... it's beautiful. Thank you." She said hugging him.

"You're welcome. And... I was wondering..." Brooklyn was having a hard time saying it, but he had to have courage. "...will you go out on a date with me?" Brooklyn said. Ryan looked at him in shock. Did he really ask her out? She was surprised and a little happy. She did admire him and personality.

"Yes. Yes! The answer is "yes." Ryan said as she kissed him. Brooklyn and Ryan hugged after that beautiful kiss. The others clapped in congratulations. Broadway turns around while eating to see Killer Croc is here.

"What is he doing here?!" He said as he grabbed the food protectively.

All the others look to see what Broadway was shocked about. They then see Killer Croc standing out in opening in the building grinning evilly.

"Why hello there. Nice party you have. Hope you don't mind that I crash it." Killer Croc said.

"Killer Croc?! What are you doing here?" Aki asked.

Croc knew he couldn't say he was looking for his son, risking his son's existence to the world.

"There's something here that belongs to me, and I'm taking it back." Killer Croc said.

William looked pale, he quickly hide deeper. His dad must've tracked his scent.

"Whatever it is you're looking for. I doubt it's here." Ryan said to the croc.

"Leave now or face the consequences." Flasheart said.

"Or what? You think because you have robots and monsters with that they're going to stop me?" Killer Croc said snickering.

"No, we will together." Oliver said. Croc was surprised at this. Usually, people run away in fear of him when he's spotted, but not these people for some reason.

"So you're the first to die? Fine with me. You look tasty." Killer Croc said licking his lips.

"I don't think so." Oliver said as he presses his Arrow-shaped ring and his suit covers him instantly. He then lightning fast fires a small explosive arrow at Croc, knocking him a few feet away from them. Barry and Kara quickly changed into their suits and stand next to him.

Croc was surprised to see this. He suddenly recognized him. That man was Oliver Queen a.k.a the Green Arrow. And those were the Flash and Supergirl.

"You picked the wrong party to crash." Oliver said in anger.
