It was about 3:00am when I woke up. This was as a result of Dick pushing me by the shoulder off of him, before he climbed out of bed.

Rubbing my eyes, I yawn silently and turn over as I hear him walking away.

Last night, we had made a very important decision. We were going to move out of here and back into our own place.

He kept pushing for Blüdhaven, but it truly was the last place I wanted to go. I know it's the crime that draws him there; Blüdhaven may be a part of Gotham, but it was far out of the actual city.

Not wanting to argue, I simply told him that we'd talk about it later.

When he came back into view, he was dressed in his uniform. He began walking to the bedroom door.

"Where are you going?" I ask in a small, tired voice. He freezes as though he has been caught, and turns around.

"Just going on patrol... to Blüdhaven. Go back to sleep, I'll be back before you wake up again," he explains, walking back to the bed.

He leans down and kisses me. "I love you," he whispers, before he leaves.

I suppose this is how he feels when I go on missions for Oa. Sighing, I turn over and go back to sleep.

Much, much later that morning, I change into some normal clothes after a shower, and walk down to the bottom floor.

"Don't you have your own home?" I joke to Jaime, who sits at the table with Daphne. Again. Like always. Always.

"Good Morning, Miss Shiloh," Alfred smiles to me. "Morning Alfred. Is- Is Dick back?" I ask, taking out the tablet to look over the files for the Team's mission.

"He's downstairs," Alfred says. "Would you like some breakfast?"

I smile at him,"No, thank you," I say.

Using the bookshelf in the ground floor study, I enter the batcave. "Back before I wake up, huh?" I call out, over the rushing water on the other side of the cave.

Nightwing stood at the monitors, looking over some footage of the fight with Klarion. "Well I was," He says absent-mindedly.

"If you say so," I tell him, walking through the cave. "What are you doing?"

"Just seeing if I can figure out what he wanted," He answers, getting that determined tone and expression.

I wrap my arms around his waist and smile at him. "He's a crazy, egocentric, childish socio-path Lord of Chaos who has a tendency to want to kill the people of this dimension. Chaos is what he wanted. And it's what he got," I say.

Deep down, I know I am dead wrong. But when Nightwing concentrates on Witch Boy cases, he gets cranky. He changes his research to the case of a missing ten year old.

"I've got to go. I arranged for the team to meet in about half an hour," I say, leaning beside him. "I'll be back as soon as possible though; I got a text from Cliff. He wants to introduce me to someone, have me sign some papers."

"Congratulations on that by the way," He smiles, kissing my forehead. "I'm proud of you. You make a great model."

"Thanks," I laugh. "Although, I don't think I'm tall enough for runway..." I trail off. He takes my hands.

"You know, we only say you're short because you used to be the shortest. Now, you only look short when you're standing next to Mal, Conner or me. We noticed a few months back that you're taller than both M'gann and Artemis."

"Artemis? You must be kidding," I say, stepping back. He shakes his head. "Alright. Stand next to Artemis and compare height is number two on my list of things I have to do," I say, before we both laugh.

"What's number one?"

"Catch this... 'Performer' of course," I say. "I've got to go. Need to study up if I want to find him." I lean up and kiss him.

As I'm walking towards the zeta-tubes, my uniform climbs over me. "Hey, you want to go out for dinner tonight?" He calls out.

"Sure," I grin. "Where?"

"Anywhere," he smirks.

"How about... Australia? It's just turning winter there, right?"

Laughing, he shakes his head. "Alright. Australia it is."

As I step into the zeta-beam, I glance back at him. He is no longer researching the missing ten year old, but Klarion again.

I just sigh and smile. I'm glad he cares.

Over the past five or six years, I have been a part of this team. I have lead a couple of missions and been there at our toughest times.

I am also a Green Lantern and ex-Teal Heart. I have saved entire planets and seen things that few humans have.

And yet, I seem to be terrified to become a leader of a Team I have been a part of for so long. Eventually I realised why; responsibility and sadness.

I've always had some sense of responsibility; being a hero so young with such a screwed up family life, I suppose.

Yet I am sad as well. Nightwing is gone. Aqualad is gone. Kid Flash the first is really gone. The only thing giving me comfort is the fact that Artemis is still here, and the fact that Conner looks the same as he always has.

Now I am looking at all nineteen of them. Miss M, Superboy, Tigress, Blue Beetle, Kid Flash II, Viper, Alley Cat, Twilight, Swiftchick, Batgirl, Guardian, Bumblebee, Beast Boy, Lagoon Boy, Red Butterfly, Static, Laurel Destiny, Robin, Wondergirl and Arsenal.

"I don't remember a time where the team was this large, or this...girly. It's a 12 to 9 girl boy ratio, but that's fine. It would also be fine if this was reversed."

Oh way to go Shiloh. Nothing's more motivational or inspiring than establishing gender roles.

"With that being said, this gives us more power to solve at least three problems at once; maybe more," I go on.

"Why, because there are more girls here than men?" La'gann snaps. I look at him with sharp eyes.

"First of all, if you're going to refer to yourself as a man, then you will refer to the females around you as women, not girls. Second; of course not, Lagoon Boy. As I said, we have a larger number of members, which means we can cover a larger space of problem. Understand?" I say firmly, but calmly.

He nods silently and glares at the floor. "Now, priority is the Performer case. I'm assigning an Alpha team to the project. Batgirl, you've been working hard on this one. What have you gathered?"

She pulls up her holographic screen into view. "Across the country, a villain named the Performer has disguised his or her self as an act taking part in any prestigious arts event, before robbing the prize, and the special guests. I've analysed the patterns and believe that his next target is a concert, being put on by Gotham Academy, St Tabitha's and Keystone Academy," she lists.

My eyes go to Viper. "I don't suppose-"

"Yes. I made it into the finals and I'll be performing," she says.

"Same here," Tim sighs, which makes me smile.

"You'll work undercover throughout the night. Batgirl, you lead Alpha on this. Viper, Robin, Twilight, Static, Guardian. You'll also be part of Alpha. See if you can track Performer, or get any information. Start on witnesses from the pervious shows. The Watchtower should have all the data."

The group nod, then run off to Watchtower. "Next is concerning a ploy by a group of female villains calling themselves the Black Widows. Men in North America have been taken from their wives and children for weeks at a time. When they return, they are covered in strange purple veins. In some cases, the men willingly pack and leave their families to return to their kidnappers. There have been cases where the men have attempted to murder their families."

"Where did this information come from?" Superboy asks.

"It's been kept very quiet, but I have all the data, given to me by Batman. He suggested the team be all female, seeing as the Black Widows appear to have power over Males. Miss Martian, you will take the lead of Beta. Tigress, Alley Cat, Swiftchick, Bumblebee and Red Butterfly, you are also Beta. I would suggest interviewing the families, or visiting ex-Black Widow Gretel, who is in Belle Reve."

I hand M'gann a tablet with the information. "There are permits you will need to hand to Warden Amanda Waller. They will allow you time with Gretel."

She takes them, gives me a warm smiles and links to my mind. "You're doing great, Hana," she says. I smile at her and thank her.

"Delta. You'll be investigating the recent theft of a weapon designed by Professor Ivo. The weapon has two parts; a key, and what the key unlocks. The thief has the key. Your job will be to protect the second part of the weapon. If the thief shows up, you must capture him. If it proves too big of a task, call in back up. Here's what you need to know," I explain, handing her the information.

"Blue Beetle, Beast Boy, Arsenal and Lagoon Boy. You'll join. Be careful. Batman will be meeting you at the leave point for the train. Take the Super Cycle and Wolf," I instruct.

As they leave for the hanger, I just manage to hear La'gann. "One girl leading four men..." he murmurs.

"La'gann. Do not make one of my first actions as Team Leader be suspending you from missions. If you continue acting like a child, you'll be treated like one," I say without turning around.

"What are we doing?" Wondergirl asks, Kid Flash and Superboy beside her. I step down from the platform, before basically collapsing into Conner's arms.

"That was scarier than I expected," I say. He laughs and pats my back. "Can you three keep a secret?"

Cassie nods, and Conner answers with a yes. Bart however scratches his head awkwardly. "Can you repeat the question?"

I grin and bring up a map on my ring. "Our job today is to fix up our new Headquarters."
