Episode 1 ~ Judgment

By Sasha Zarya Nexus

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I,  Robin the Girl Wonder aka Rachel Grayson, was much in thought about everything that had brought me to this point since I was waiting for judgment from the Goddess of Exxor.  Once I realized that some how in my female body was both my female soul and Dick's male soul, which was hiding from me, that appealing for the Goddess of Exxor to judge me was the only way both Dick and I could find happiness.

When this began I was plain ordinary Robin, The Boy Wonder aka Dick Grayson, a 17 year old boy.  I accompanied Joan and Jayna in the combat simulator room at the Hall of Justice. I know many forms of self defense suited to women and Joan being brand new to being a woman could use some training.  I knew the techniques well enough to coach them.  My only handicap was that many of them also relied on the different center of gravity and body mass distribution that women have naturally so I could not demonstrate them.

While Jayna (who could shape shift and was one of the Wonder Twins) and Joan (who Jayna, as a duplicate of a Goddess, had transformed) were taking a break, they became focused on each other.  

Joan finished and explained what she had been doing.” Robin and Jayna, I want to try something, and Wonder Woman said that this is the place to try it, rather than in combat or I guess, at home. I've copied Jayna's aura to my memory. After that I'm going to astral project my spirit out of my body so I can see if I can shape shift my body to look like Jayna's. I'll weave my small auras so that they are identical to Jayna's auras. When I'm ready, I'll say something to trigger the change and let my astral spirit reunite with my new body."

"Wow, that sounds freaky, Joan! Good Luck!" said Jayna

"Good Luck, Joan!” I told her, “We'll try to get you some help, if you need it."

"Here goes nothing!" Joan squealed. She lay on the floor and started doing what she said, I guessed..

"Magical energy release below live monitor threshold detected. " intoned the simulator room.

When Joan spoke in an audible voice, it seemed to come from the entire room, "So mote it be!"

Lying where Joan's body had been moments before was a twin, or would it be, triplet of Jayna who looked as though she were about to speak..

The simulator room boomed, "Magical energy release detected at factor 4. Remote Live Monitoring initiated. Expert dispatched."

Joan spoke in Jayna's voice, "Room: Query: Who is the expert dispatched to monitor the magical energy discharge?"

The Room answered her, "Wonder Woman, ETA Two Hours." "Hall of Justice has initiated isolation protocol, pending arrival of Wonder Woman"

Jayna observed, "Must not be real important otherwise they would have dispatched one of the other Super Friends to check on us earlier. Room: Is everything functional for further simulation?"

The Simulation Room responded, "I am operating within acceptable limits. Quarantine measures are precautionary and not due to any actual danger."

Joan in her Exxorean body and Jayna used the Wonder Twin powers to shape shift into human form and Joan looked like herself again while Joan became the human girl I had seen her become in the past.

I was bored so I told them, "Well while we are stuck in here perhaps you'll do something for me that will help you ladies train?" I both looked and felt mischievous. I was amazed that the magic had worked on Joan, but strongly doubted it would work on me.

Joan asked me, "What is that Robin?"

I replied, "Lets see if you can shape shift someone other than yourself, and make me a girl for a while. That way I could show you the self defense techniques I know, instead of just telling you about them. Think you are up to the challenge Joan?"

Joan pleaded, "Are you sure about this? Messing with your gender can lead to trouble."  How right she was only I did not realize it then.

I replied confidently, "I'll take the risk, I'll just be Robin, the Girl Wonder for a while."

Joan told us, "OK, here goes!." Joan began to concentrate and prepare.  Joan had me  lie down for safety and  she slid my astral spirit out of my body  while she spoke the words that would trigger the change, "So Mote it be!"

Instantly, I saw that my body now was indeed a Girl Wonder, as my new costume with its miniskirt accentuated each curve. Joan placed my astral spirit within my new body and my spirit was now female.   As I went in I felt a male presence but it retreated so quickly and I could no longer feel it so I guessed that I had imagined it.  I cried out in amazement at what had been done to make me a girl in spirit and body.  I smiled and I did not recall ever feeling this good and at peace with myself.

The Room interrupted and said, "Magical energy release detected at factor 5. Lockdown still in progress."

"Well, Ladies!", Robin started, "Lets get started on that workout I promised you. It looks like we all need it now."

Jayna and Joan shouted together, "Let's do it! "

Over an hour later, us three women were very satisfied with the workout I had led us thru. As we were cooling down, Wonder Woman used her override and came into the Simulation room.

Jayna pointing out Robin to Wonder Woman, "May I present Robin, the Girl Wonder "

I turned to Wonder Woman and curtseyed and said to her, "I hope you are well."

Wonder woman replied, "I am quite well, Thank You. Batman sends his regards to you and also, this list of exercises he expects you to do, should you remain in that form for the near term, so that you will be prepared to be at his side."

I took the paper, "Of course. Batman is correct. I must be in fighting shape. I'll get on these immediately"
I went into another section of the combat simulator room, which adapted itself for the simulation that Batman had requested, and disappeared.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I had practiced the solo exercises that Batman had requested.  After a bit, Batman joined me in the simulator room and without a word other than what commands needed to be given to coordinate our attack, we started the duo exercises.  We were up at 'Dynamic Duo' standards when my Teen Super Friend Communicator interrupted

 "Joan to Robin, Come in please?", Joan queried

"Robin the Girl Wonder here. How can I help, Joan?", I asked

Joan answered, "Well I was thinking of offering my help. Other than the clothes you are wearing, all of the rest of your clothes are boy's clothes, but with my new power I can change them into the girl’s equivalent so they will fit you if you like. I just need your permission and Batman's to have access to your quarters to work on it. Since I have to go piece by piece it might take a couple of hours, but they need me off of the control level, anyway, because of some Super Friends Assembly happening tonight. I thought I would make productive use of my time while leaving you in less a predicament about what to wear."

I replied, "You are a sweet girl, Joan, Thanks for your offer to help! Unless Batman has an objection, I’ll ask him to tell the Super Friends computer that you have permission to enter our quarters. "

Batman answered, "Batman here, patching in. Thank you for the help Joan! I'll get the permission change made so you can get to work on it.”

Batman used his Super Friends communicator on both channels, “Patching to Super Friends Computer; Recognize Batman voice print."

"Recognized. Proceed with command function" , responded the Super Friends Computer

Batman continued, "Permit Codename Sorceress access to Batman and Robin's quarters and confirm."

The Computer replied, "Confirm Joan Waterman, Codename Sorceress, given access to Batman and Robin's quarters"

Batman directed to Joan, "That's all. Sorceress, enjoy plying your craft. Robin and I will be in the simulator awhile, working on our combat attacks"

"Thank you Batman and Robin. Sorceress Out.", Joan sounded very pleased with herself as she signed out.

Batman and I resumed our combat simulations and Batman became a little more talkative.  Batman told me that Joan was going to become a Teen Super Friend tonight.  I appreciated that she used the time could have wasted helping me.  Batman went to the Batmobile for a spare uniform and he used other facilities to shower and change. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I slipped  in to my  quarters because I  needed to shower and make a quick change into one of the uniforms that Joan had just made wearable, and left to go to the assembly before it started. We were going to have to request another room for me since sharing a bathroom did not seem fair now.  I'm sure Batman would not appreciate the lingerie and hose I had drying in the bathroom hanging everywhere.  In cutting it this close I was going to have quite an entrance unveiling Robin the Girl Wonder .

The Super Friends can do quite a lot of pomp and circumstance when we want to do so.  Joan was inducted with great honor into the Teen Super Friends as a super heroine in training.  I had too busy a day myself so I went back to my quarters early and stripped and put on my nightgown and went to bed with the light off but with the bathroom door cracked open a bit.  I couldn't sleep and instead listened out for Batman to come in and his reaction to my things in the bathroom.   I was not disappointed since he took one look at the bathroom and I realized he was recording a Teen Trouble Alert message.

I overheard Batman say, "Sorceress, I came home to find our bathroom with hose and lingerie drying all over the place. I will admit that I bypassed the queuing program to assign this to you, but I need your help. Could it be that this wanting to be a girl had nothing to do with his position as a man previously? Postulate a normal man would be male in mind soul and body, and if this were flipped to the reverse, that a soul mind and body that was female would result. That person would realize a need to stay female, but based on their situation now, but not by any previous need that was unfulfilled as a man. It looks like you did too good a job making Robin a woman, and now there are no traces of a man to go back to, even though his memories are intact. Please send help!"

Now I had the first indication of what was troubling Batman, who obviously wanted Sorceress to change me into a boy wonder again.  I knew I was a girl ,body and soul, and being trapped in the body of a boy would be torment for me.  Now I had to make sure that Sorceress understood that I did not want to change back.  I guess that Batman noticed the cracked door and he closed the bathroom door on his side of the room.  I could no longer hear what was going on in Batman's quarters.  I willed myself to go to sleep since there was nothing else to do right now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day Batman avoided me but I did my part and worked out in the combat simulator room perfecting my combat skills. I decided that I could no longer be Richard 'Dick' Grayson and I would be instead Rachel Grayson 'After completing my workout, I went to my quarters to take a shower.  After I showered and dressed in lingerie and a robe,  I was interrupted by my Teen Super Friend Communicator with Joan's voice saying,  "Sorceress calling Girl Wonder. "

I replied , "Girl Wonder here. What can I do for you, Sorceress?"

Sorceress answered, "I'd like to discuss something with you if you have a few moments."

I told her, "Anything for you, sweetie. I'm in my bedroom and you still have access, come on in."

She finished, "Be right there," and she was quite literally, since she teleported into my room where she found me in lingerie covered by a short robe sitting on the bed in lotus position

Sorceress spoke softly and sweetly, "Can we talk?"

I  looked at Sorceress and exclaimed, "That was fast!"

Sorceress  told me, "I can teleport now.  "Robin, Sweetie", Sorceress took my hands in hers, "I let you down. I messed up by not leaving you something so you could feel your old life was worthwhile. I'm sure being totally female is a big rush because it is different, and eventually things will get to be second nature, including periods and all the rest."

I replied, "Darling, you are a super heroine, not a goddess! I don't want to go oops, but you do. No one really was hurt by Dick Grayson mysteriously disappearing, which is why I was a good choice to be Robin. Bats and I will construct … Heck, if I know Bats, he's already covered me with a complete female alter ego. I know that I don't have the pull that I should have back to my original male side. I can accept that what you did changed me so that I am not the same person that I was before, and in hanging on to this life I send another aspect of myself to the oblivion"

Sorceress continued, "There's more sweetie. The method I used to change you wasn't proven, and it was only my first time trying it with anyone. I guess success depends on how good a weaver that I am, but my method required changing and repositioning and reshaping color and texturing the mini elements of your aura to match a set pattern. For your transformation specifically, changing every single male part of your aura into female, took a little creativity, because the female auras are more shaped and textured than their male counterparts. I don't know how long it will last, but eventually something is going to snap back to its original shape, place, texture, or color, When that happens painful physical changes will happen as your body reverts to a more male state. If you wait to let things revert over time, my method of changing you may not be available any more."

I pleaded with her, "You know that I am scared to change this, that I will lose feeling this way. That what you did was either a one in a million fluke, or else the old me may withhold this life from me."

Sorceress countered, "Robin, even the old you has got to be moved by the way you plead your case. We could record a plea from you to return you to this form, along with a chronology of events we can get from the Hall of Justice visual records. You and I know what we are talking about in private quarters, so we could reenact that. The best way for the life you desire to be granted, is for him to submit himself for judgment to the Exxorean goddess. She promises two things, which are that you will be whole, and that you will have a chance at happiness some time in the future. Most often she leaves those who are trans in their native universe and those who aren't trans, swapped with their opposite in a parallel universe."

I told her, "That's a lot to think about Sorceress. I'll begin recording my appeal to the old me to make us female."

Sorceress told me, "See you later, Girl Wonder" Sorceress teleported out of my quarters. Being judged by the Goddess may be my only hope and not to let Joan turn me back but for me to be judged as I am.  Until I could get Joan to see reason, I would have to go along with her so she would not do something out of frustration.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 

 I had hopes that eventually Sorceress could be made to see reason.  I heard from her again the next day when I had stopped working out and had come to get something from the cafeteria.  My communicator called , " Joan to Rachel"  She sounded a little different from normal

 I answered, "Rachel here, I'm in the cafeteria if you want to talk in person"

 Joan responded, "I'll be right there"

 Joan teleported in to the cafeteria. She sat across from me and touched my arm," How. are you today, girl?"  I could see that she was Exxorean but I did not know the significance of it.

 I told her, "OK, I guess, considering. I have been putting quite a bit of work getting things recorded. This is a new look for you, dear one! Very Exxorean!. I imagine Jayna and Zayna appreciate it?"

 Joan explained, "Not completely. I've found out that I am the reincarnation of their sister Vylylia who died in the fall of Exxor. We are still working thru the shock and have not processed positive things yet. I've thought about my dilemma with your change and I'm trying to not impose my morality on the process. In order to really get this solved, I feel like the Goddess must be involved. I won’t even insist that the bad spell is taken off, but that's only if you agree to be judged by the Goddess. My spell is just window dressing for her that she can strip away as part of your judgment. You will be whole and also have a chance at happiness some time in the future."

 I replied with enthusiasm, "Wow, Girl! You sure mellowed out. I like these options even more. Any word on how Mindy is doing? Poor girl! She had her introduction to womanhood by starting with her first period immediately."

Sorceress replied, "So far, So good." and then explained,  "Mindy would change back now in a heart beat but I can’t do it while she's on her period. So we are waiting for it to be over. I have to be home soon ... And 'Girl Wonder', All my hopes!'"  And Sorceress teleported away!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was doing more exercises but Batman had excuse after excuse to not allow me to return to fight crime with him.  I wondered if I would ever be perfect enough for him to give me a chance to get back to normal. On the other hand,  I was excited that perhaps Joan and Batman would not  force me into being a boy.

There was a party in the evening where Joan's transman boyfriend Sam was celebrating the Goddess making him whole.  Most of the teen super friends were at the party so it was lots of fun.   I finally left the party and ended up later in my quarters preparing to go to sleep. 

I heard Sorceress on the Monitor channel, "Super Friends to Robin the Girl Wonder"

I told her, "Go ahead"

Sorceress explained, "Robin, I need you at the monitor room soonest. Full Status restoration. I hope that your partnership will be intact but if not I need your experience out on the front lines of combat!"

I replied, "On my way!" I was able to determine as I approached the monitor room that a Super Villian, Darkseid had caused chaos in Metropolis by deploying 'male bombs' that turned males into savages who were destroying the city.  Only Super Heroines were to be allowed to combat the menace since they were immune to the bombs.
 

As I entered I noticed that Batman was distracted  and we both heard Sorceress say, "So Mote It Be" and Batwoman came into existence.

Sorceress told us, "Robin, you've been working at being a female super heroine since your transformation and this is brand new to you Batwoman. Its time to put aside your differences for the sake of the Super Friends and work as a team to defeat Darkseid"

Batwoman responded, "Well spoken Sorceress, Welcome back Robin, To the Bat mobile!" And Batwoman took off for the garage while I sped up and passed her and was waiting in my seat when Batwoman made it there and questioned me, "How in the world do you manage to run in those heels Robin?"

I told her, "Practice makes perfect, Bat Woman" We both heard a "So Mote it be!" from Sorceress who ported the Batmobile into the combat zone.  The Batmobile began patrolling the war zone that had been the streets of downtown Metropolis.

The team work of all the Super Heroines together defeated Darkseid and put an end to the Male Bombs and all the trouble that they caused.  When it was all over, Batwoman and I  were ported back to the Hall of Justice.  Sorceress changed Batwoman back into Batman but left me Robin the Girl Wonder.  I overheard Wonder Woman asking Sorceress why she did not turn me back and I was able to hear a little of the reply.

 Sorceress told Wonder Woman, "The Goddess permitted me to step outside of time as she does when she makes a judgment I opened Pandora's box and I could see no way to 'make it right' dealing just with Dick Grayson's life. Looking at the future, Dick Grayson looks at being Robin as not being a person but a job description, which is Batman's apprentice. By having a male outlook and with an apprentice model that means that at a certain point that Robin resigns from the job and goes into business for himself. Dick Grayson will cease to be Robin and became Nightwing instead. The cycle repeats with other boys who did not do as well as Dick and ended badly . Finally an enigma, Stephanie Brown who would have been the first Girl Wonder lasting a mere 47days and was brutally murdered. Her preparation both physical and mental were not up to the task and from her compensation behavior. There has to be some major tampering with the timeline if Robin the Girl Wonder is to continue to exist in the here and now and allow Dick Grayson, the man, a chance to exist too"   That was all I heard before I moved out of earshot. 

 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 

Joan and I had met in one of the conference rooms when both the Exxorian Goddess and an anachronistic Stephanie Agnes Brown in her Spoiler uniform appeared with them.  By reflex both Joan and I started to kneel but the Goddess stopped them, “Rise children!  We are met here in order to discuss the judgment that Rachel Grayson submits herself.  Stephanie Agnes Brown, now attired as Spoiler but who was also Robin the girl wonder in her future timeline, also submits to my judgment. There is one more party to this discussion who ought to be heard as well. ”

 

We saw from my body emerge a spirit who looked like Dick Grayson before Sorceress transformed me. 

 

Dick walked over and took a chair at the table which we all did and then he spoke, “I am Dick Grayson.   My Spirit has been sharing consciousness in the body of Rachel Grayson.   I hid my presence from her so she could have autonomy.”  Unlike most astral spirits, Dick seemed to be able to speak and act normally even though his body was transparent.  That was wierd that Dick had been inside me all along too.

 

 Joan began, “My take on this judgment, is that Dick Grayson will exist as a male and go ahead and become Nightwing.  A different Stephanie Brown, who is the reincarnation of our Rachel, will discard the apprentice model and become Batman's companion. As a woman, she could be Robin beyond her teen years, as well. The longevity of her Girl Wonder would cancel the circumstances that brought about Stephanie Brown's premature Death. And in another  Universe, say Earth 123c, Dick Grayson and Stephanie Brown would exist in the timeline that occurred before judgment."

 

The Goddess lovingly addressed Joan,” My daughter, you forget one thing, It was by your power that the Spirit of Rachel Grayson was created from nothing.  If

I simply put Rachel’s spirit in Stephanie’s body which is transformed to match her new timeline then the same problem exists of two spirits inhabiting one body.”

With thought Joan asked, “What is to be done? Even when I have created something out of nothing then I used a pattern.”

 

“With Stephanie’s consent, daughter, you may use her body as a pattern after I have given her a new body and timeline and create for her a twin sister which can become Rachel’s body.  This new Rachel, Stephanie’s twin can fulfill her destiny to be Robin the Girl Wonder.”

 

Stephanie asked, “What is to become of me?”

 

Dick  spoke, “Stephanie, if you wish you can become my partner, Flamebird, and come with me to New York City to fight crime with me.   I have a feeling that being my partner will be a whole lot better for you in the long run.”

 

Stephanie nodded,  “I would like that very much, Dick!”

 

“It is settled, Rachel will be kissed with my judgment letting her spirit free and Dick Grayson’s body be restored in his older timeline as Nightwing.  I will bless Stephanie by laying my hand on her head and adjust her timeline to make her Flamebird.   My daughter, you and I and the Wonder Twins must join, as we did before to change Zayna’s power, to give you the power needed to create a new body for Rachel as Stephanie’s identical twin, Robin the Girl Wonder.”  The Goddess stated.

 

I asked, “Goddess, is this possible?”

 

The Goddess replied, ”All things are possible if you only believe.”

 

I stated, “I believe, be it unto me according to what you have said.”

 

Stephanie echoed, “I believe, be it unto me according to what you have said.”

 

Joan told her, “I believe, I ask for your wisdom and courage, Goddess.”

 

Dick said, ”I believe! Count me in! “

 

“As all have agreed, all who wish to be included will be summoned into my presence when all is prepared for my judgment” finished the Goddess.  Dick’s spirit disappeared and was presumably back inside Rachel.  Stephanie and the Goddess also vanished leaving Joan and I in the room.

 

“Good luck, Joan!”  Il called over her shoulder as I made a hasty exit from the conference room leaving Joan alone with her thoughts.

Sorceress was right that she told me what she had found out and what the Goddess might do when she judged me and that this Stephanie Brown from the future might also be judged with me.  I felt like both Sorceress and the Goddess had my best interests at heart now so I was going to put my faith in them.  All I could do now was wait till I was ported into the chamber where the judgment would take place later today.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When it was time, I along with the others who were to take part were snatched from where we were and were deposited in what looked like an Exxorean Temple to the Goddess. The people who The Goddess brought seemed to be the only who existed. It was as though the rest who should be there were caught in an eddy of time. 'Glivney or Jayna was acting as a priestess of the temple and wore temple robes and stood by me, Rachel Grayson. Tomu or Zayna was identically dressed in temple robes and was standing beside Stephanie Brown who was wearing an Exxorean gown since she had been taken out of her future time. Already seated to witness the judgment was Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Aquaman. "Vylylia" or Sorceress was dressed in her robes that denoted her as the Emissary.

It soon became clear that meant that Vylylia was also the Goddess' Herald as she announced, "All Rise and Give Respect to the Goddess of Exxor into whose court you all are called this day."  Each man bowed and I along with each woman curtseyed to give the goddess respect.

When "Vylylia" observed the Goddess in the seat of judgment, she announced , "You may all be seated." She herself had taken up standing behind the throne on the Goddess's right side.

Those observing relaxed a bit after having to give reverence to the Goddess while I and the others standing in the back anticipated being called into the Goddess presence.

Vylylia announced" The Woman declaring herself to be Rachel Grayson,  Robin, the Girl Wonder, who carries within her the spirit of Dick Grayson along with her own, is called before the presence of the Goddess."

Glivney escorted me to a point 10 feet from the Goddess where both of us curtseyed.   Glivney let go of my hand and I  went forward to a pillow set at the Goddess's feet and curtseyed again and prostrate myself before the Goddess. The Goddess made no indication to attend to me yet. 

Instead She indicated that Vylylia continue. "Stephanie  Agnes Brown is called into the presence of the Goddess!", declared Vylylia.

This time Tomu escorted Stephanie down the aisle and the two of them also held and curtseyed at 10 foot out and then Stephanie herself came before the pillow and curtseyed and she too prostrate herself at the feet of the Goddess. The Goddess spoke something in a high royal dialect of Exxorean and  the Goddess lifted their faces up with her hand placed under their chins

Vylylia translated the Goddess's statement, "Raise your head and prepare to be judged."

Each eye glued on the Goddess to see what she might do next. The suspense was broken when she kissed my forehead and laid her hands on the top of Stephanie's head.

Then the excitement because every light in the temple went out as a bright light enveloped both Stephanie and I.  I could not see anything but the light as the room was no more for me. and then the universe blinked.

As the bright light  faded,  It was clear that a change had occurred.   I found that I was standing on the other side of where Stephanie Brown had been before and I also noticed I was a spirit.   I looked over where I had been standing and I saw Dick Grayson very much a man, not as he had been but he looked older.  Dick had on a new costume that looked like a very mod Batman outfit and nothing like the old Robin costume which I identified as the alter ego he had planned on taking, Nightwing. 

By his side was a girl in an equally mod Robin costume which had a sun on her chest and  she looked like a 13 year old Stephanie Brown. She was now to be known as Flamebird.   

Vylylia declared, “Glivney and Tomu, please attend the Goddess.”  Glivney and Tomu met the Goddess and Vylylia at the front and the four of them joined hands.

 

The four chanted in ancient Exxorian, “Bring forth the blessing given by the Exxorian Goddess!”    A bright light enveloped all seven of them and the universe blinked again.

 

 

Now I was beside Nightwing and Flamebird and no longer a spirit.  I was a girl identical to the first except that I had on the Robin the Girl Wonder costume that I had worn when I had been called into the presence of the Goddess.  The light in my eyes showed that this was none other than the soul and spirit of the female Grayson reincarnated into the twin sister of the thirteen year old Stephanie Agnes Brown. 

Vylylia observed "I have been given leave of the Goddess to reveal that the original time lines of both Dick Grayson and Stephanie Brown are preserved on Earth 123c.The judged may withdraw"

Nightwing helped Flamebird and I to our feet and he bowed and Flamebird and  I curtseyed. We backed out to 10 foot away and Dick bowed and Flamebird and I curtseyed again.  It felt weird to have Dick, who looked to be 21 and soon would be my brother, escorting me when we were the same person not that long ago.   Dick escorted us to the back of the temple while Glivney and Tomu followed in step behind us.

Vylylia announced" This concludes the court of the Exxor Goddess. All rise and give her due reverence." Each man or woman gave respect to the Goddess as she exited her temple. When the door closed behind the Goddess, all gathered outside the main entrance around Nightwing who explained where his costume started..

Batman beamed with pride at me, his Robin, the Girl Wonder, since he now had an 8 year younger person to mold in his image.  I also have all of Dick Grayson's wealth of crime fighting experience.   He no longer would have to worry about Dick Grayson's future since he was off to college in NYC and a new crime fighting career as Nightwing.
 

Bats was looking in my direction and I couldn't wait to see what he had to say now that I, Rachel Stephanie,  was his new Robin, the Girl Wonder!
 

 

 

  Somehow I had all of the memories of my lives as Dick Grayson and Rachel Grayson along with the memories of Stephanie Brown up to my present age.
