"Joker's dead!"
"I'm--"
"You're Erica," I interrupted her.
She shook her head. "We may look the same, but we have different names. I'm Evelyn Richards."
She still has my last name, I thought, feeling uncomfortable. Evelyn and the other Robin motioned us into their headquarters.
Inside, it looked exactly like the Hall of Justice. All of the souvenirs from different missions were telah diposkan on columns, and a perpustakaan was placed at the end of the building. We passed many superheroes, who looked like the ones in the Justice League, but had different costumes.
My Robin gripped my hand tightly, as if he were making sure I was Erica, and not Evelyn. Before me, Evelyn wore a back-baring tank top, where her Firebending Tatu were shiny red against her skin.
"You're still the Avatar?" I asked, making her stop walking.
She looked confused. "I've always been the Avatar. Aren't anda the Avatar of your planet?"
I didn't answer. We kept walking, until we reached a large meeting meja, jadual where a couple was talking to each other.
Evelyn groaned. "Roy, Jeannette! Get a room!"
The both of them looked at our group. Megan let out a shrilling cry.
"Jeannette!" she threw her arms around Jeannette, hugging her tightly with her mere Martian strength.
"Umm, why is she hugging me?" Jeannette asked with a perplexed expression.
"You're alive!" KF yelled.
Jeannette gently pushed Megan off her, then looked at Evelyn. "Who are these people?"
"They're from Earth," Evelyn said.
Jeannette looked irritated. "Why shouldn't I be alive?"
"You were killed sejak the Joker," Artemis told her, and she let out a laugh.
"J-Joker?" she chuckled. "Joker's dead!"
My eyes opened wide, and they reached Roy's face. I wanted to get to the bottom of this. "Hello, Roy. Where's Lian?"
He looked as confused as Jeannette. "Who?"
"Duh!" my Robin berkata aloud, clutching his forehead.
"What?" we all shouted at him.
"Batman told me a few days ago," he said. "This organization, the Wilderness, they're in charge of disposing of criminals..." he looked grim. "The hard way. And since Joker and Cheshire are dead, Jenny never died, and Lian was never born."
"He's right on some counts," Evelyn admitted. "I don't know about the Lian business, but our world is much safer than your own. There are no criminals here. They're all gone."
I looked at Jeannette. I knew this version wasn't really her, but I felt good that she was actually speaking to me again, instead of lying under the ground in a coffin.
"That means, Ra's Al-Ghul never attempted to kidnap Robin," I murmured. "And Evelyn never Lost her powers. Jeannette's still an Airbender."
"Correct," berkata the other Robin.
We all didn't speak for a few moments, and I finally looked up.
"And as for the mission..."
"Where's Lian?"
ROBIN!!!
"For the last time, Erica, NO."
It was a black dress and high socks also balck with my hair tied back and a pink bow.
"You never want to do anything amigo!" Jaimie exclaimed. "Why did anda even sertai the Team?"
"The purpose is gone now." Revenge said, turning away. "If anda want me to leave, I will after this mission."
Jaimie stood shell-shocked. "Hombre, I didn't mean--"
"Save it, Jaimie." Revenge said. "Nightwing has a debriefing to do. I've got lives to protect."
The Black Hero jumped the building and was gone.

"How did anda come sejak the information?"
"Private communication with Holly."
"She's still serving our purposes?"
"Yes."
