"So you want me to babysit your super kids?" I laughed.

"Kind of. I want you to train them." Bruce sat at the computer, facing me. Jason was snickering behind me, probably thinking of a bunch of supers getting babysat.

"So you can go fight stuff with their parents?" I crossed my arms, finding this whole thing amusing.

"I always want you to distract them so they don't try and come with us. This is a fight that they don't need to be in." Bruce turns to the computer and typed something. "And I don't think training with you would hurt. Your fighting style is something they haven't fought with yet. It could be educational."

"Alright." I shrug. "When do I leave?"

"Soon. I assume you have your suit."

"Shit," I groan sarcastically. "I think I left it in my dorm since I was planning on this."

Bruce gave me a side eye glance and continued typing. "You can use the one you used before."

"Are you sure Dickie won't be pissed now that he's matching with someone?" Jason mocked.

"Won't be necessary. You and Dick will be coming with me." Bruce full screened a file. It had a bunch of teens with names and powers underneath. "These are the kids you will be training. Study up and I'll go get the suit."

"Haha," Jason laughed, "you get to watch the brats."

"I'm not watching you." I gave a glance over my shoulder as I look over the kids. There was a few that had powers close to people I had fought with in the past so it would be easy and correct their fighting into theirs.

"Wow, Doll. I'm hurt." Jason placed a hand over his heart.

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes. "I didn't know Wonder women had a successor."

"Yeah, Cassie. She's a good fighter, but needs more help with her powers." Jason leaned against the desk, looking at me.

"Hmh. Speaking of Cass, she's not on the list. Is she going with you?" I asked, scrolling down the page.

"Cass? Like our Cass? I hope not. She's probably just staying here and making cookies with Alfred." Jason smiled softly. As much as he fights with his siblings and says he doesn't like them, he is truly a big brother. He was probably more dangerous then most since he is willing to kill for people. Jason cares for his siblings a lot more then he would like to admit.

"I hope so." I continue looking at the file, trying to plan out specific training activities.

"Here." Batman gave me a folded suit and pointed to a changing room. I gave a thanks and walked away.

Quickly putting on the suit, I found there were slight changes. The stripe was thinner than last time and there was two sword sheaths on the back. Bruce had put a small knife holder in the belt. It felt more elastic around the shoulders in order to get the full slashing movement.

"Alright. We'll be leaving in five minutes. Damian and Tim will take you to the cave. Try not to spill too much about the mission, those kids are stubborn."

"I'll chain them down if I have to." I roll my eyes lightly. Although I was playing it off, I wasn't super confident about keeping the secret or the kids in.

"Wow, great babysitting skills. Makes me wonder how you've kept your job." Jason laughed.

I shook my head, not giving a response. Jason hands me a mask and disappears into a changing room. Put the mask on it suctions to my face and hugs the area around my face. I take riptide out of pen form and put it in one of the sheaths and grabbed a mortal sword that was closest to the style of riptide.
