Baby Bat's New Sister Part 4-7 (Finale)
🕑 Added 2023-02-16 03:23:46 +0000 UTC“That son of a bi- I mean that jerk!” Zatanna yelled in frustration, not too eager to swear in front of her child. “He won’t get away with this. Bee mommy needs to make a few calls, call you to go to bed so we can wake up bring and early tomorrow?”
“Yes, mommy~!” Bee said to her happily, walking up the stairs while trying to hide her tears. Mary’s voice was empty, it may have sounded happy, but Bee knew that Mary was just a puppet for Mr. Terrific. He had to be stopped, but she knew that even with her magic and her mommy’s magic, they wouldn’t be able to save Mary. There was only one person that Bee could go to for help, and it wasn’t someone that she was too keen on seeing.
BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!
“Hello?” Alfred asked picking up the phone in the Batcave. This was an emergency phone and not many knew that number.
“Grandpa, I need your help,” Bee said over her secret phone that she disguised as one of her toys.
“Bee? Is that you?” Alfred asked her, curious as to why she would call past her bedtime. “What are you doing up so late? Your mother won’t be pleased if she hears about this.”
“Grandpa I need the prototype Bat Jet,” Bee said back to him. “It’s an emergency.”
“Bee I can’t just allow you to fly that jet. It is far too big for you to fly in,” Alfred said, concerned for her.”
“Grandpa please,” Bee said, pleading with him. “My friend needs my help. I promise that I will tell mommy myself when this is over.”
“…Fine, but you must promise that where you’re going isn’t dangerous,” Alfred said to her, already setting the coordinates on the Bat Jet to go pick Bee up.
“It’s fine~,” Bee said assuring him. “I just need to go cash in a favor.”
“Very well, be safe~,” Alfred said to her.
“Don’t worry I will grandpa~!!!” Bee said, ending the call while suiting up. Her mommy gave her this as a present and she knew that today was the perfect day to wear it.
Once the Bat Jet arrived Bee wasted no time getting int, though due to her current size, it took her a few minutes to get in. Luckily the Bat Jet had a silent engine and was in camouflage mode, so her mommy wouldn’t be able to see it.
After a half-hour flight, Bee finally arrived at her destination, Lex Tower.
“Hmph, and here I was wondering what I would have to do to see you~,” Lex Luther said, looming over Bee who was still sitting in the Bat Jet, struggling to get up, thanks to her height.
“Mercy help the little princess,” Luther said, arrogantly smiling down at the former Batman. Yes, Luther did know that Bee was formerly Batman and formerly Bruce Wayne. This was because Bee let him know. Lex Luther was not one to look down upon. Bee realized early on that Lex would put two and two together after Batman disappeared. She decided to use this to her advantage.
By making a deal with Lex Luther she would have access to all of his skills, talents, and resources and in return, she gave knowledge of her past. It was a simple exchange that gained Luther little profit but he accepted it. Bee didn’t understand why, but she didn’t have to. She only told him half-truths.
Though what she didn’t know was that Luther actually didn’t care about her past. This was nothing more than an excuse for him to feel powerful. It excited him knowing that the great and powerful Batman, a hero that even surpassed Superman in several areas needed his help.
“So what do I owe the pleasure of this meeting my dear princess~,” Luther said teasing the cute girl.
“I need…Mercy can you let me go~?” Bee asked Mercy who was holding her like a princess. It’s not that she didn’t like it, but that privilege was exclusively for her mommy.
Mercy slowly let Bee down, a tad bit upset that the cute little princess in her pajamas didn’t want her to hold her. “Sorry I couldn’t help myself.,” she said blushing before walking back to Lex’s side.
Bee felt sorry that she came off a bit rude to Mercy, but she was here for business, not pleasure. She would make it up to Mercy later. “As I was saying. I am here for a favor. I need your help dealing with Mr. Terrific.
Luther stopped drinking his whiskey when he heard that name. “Are you certain that you want to mess with him? Mr. Terrific is a man much like myself, he is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that he advances. Oh, I heard that he recently adopted a daughter recently…one with magical powers if I am correct~?”
“Luther you obviously know why I'm here so just tell me what you want already.” Bee was not in the mood for games. She came here to help her friend and she was willing to do whatever it took to save her.
“Considering our history I won’t deny your request~,” Luther said back to her with a cunning smile. “Though in return you must promise to become the new face of Lex-corps children’s fashion~.”
“What?” Bee was expecting so much more but was shocked by what she heard.
“That’s right, recently we’ve been looking for child models but none of them have worked out. You’re perfect for the job, plus you’ll get paid quite well, though money has never been a concern of yours now has it? So what do you say? Do we have a deal?
“Fine, for Mary, I will, do anything,” Bee said to him.
“Perfect, now please sign here and I’ll fax this over to your mother~,” Luther said pulling out a contract for Bee to sign.
“She has to see this too~,” Bee said getting nervous, hoping that she wouldn’t have to tell her mother about this.
“As a minor, I can’t legally make you work for me without your parent's permission. I’m a terrible man but I’m not going down for child slavery. Besides your mother will sign the moment she sees what’s in it for her~.”
“Wait what are you talking about!?” Bee asked, scared by what he was talking about, but there was no going back now. She had already signed.
“You’ll see~. Until then I do believe that it is time that you get yourself back home is it not~?”
“Fine. But you better keep up the end of the deal,” Bee said back to him as Mercy helped him back into the Bat jet. From there she flew home, knowing that tomorrow she would save her friend.
“Bee, wake up sweetie, it’s time for us to head out~,” Zatanna said to her daughter, waking her up. “Hmm you went to bed early last night, but you still seem tired,” she said, still unaware of what Bee did last night. She managed to convince Luther before she left to wait until the end of the day to send the contract.
“N-no, I’m up, I’m up,” Bee said, slowly getting out of bed as her mother helped her get ready for the day.
Once Bee was dressed and they had breakfast it was time for them to head up to the Watchtower. Luckily it would seem that they got there just in time. The entire League, Jamie, Milagro, and Pino were there. The only ones missing were Mr. Terrific and Mary.
“Clark thanks for agreeing to this,” Zatanna said to Superman while letting Bee head over to Milagro.
“No problem, but I have to say that the accusations that you have brought to us seem a bit farfetched,” Superman said back to her “Mr. Terrific has questions methods, but he has never crossed the line before. Though I will believe you for now.”
“Thank you Clark I-”
“Sorry we’re late everyone~,” Mr. Terrific said, walking into the room with Mary by his side, dressed in a cute frilly pink dress. Bee was upset when she saw this because she knew that Mary hated the color pink. She was forced to wear it because Mr. Terrific didn’t care about what she liked.
“Mary wanted to stop for some ice cream on the way here~, isn’t that right?”
“Y-yes, Mary said back to him with a bright smile across her face, though the ice cream in her hands was untouched and already melting in her hands.
“Ah, Mr. Terrific you’re finally here~,” Superman said, shaking Mr. Terrific’s hand. “I am sure that you know why we called you here today. There have been reports of you harming your daughter Mary with your experiments.”
“What? Hehehe that’s absurd~,” Mr. Terrific said, trying to laugh off the accusation. “As you can see Mary is perfectly fine. While some of our tests are a tad bit dangerous they have never harmed Mary in any sense. I have documented proof of everything in here,” he said handing Superman and a few other documents filled with data from his so-call “tests”.
“As you can see with my help Mary has been able to master her magic much faster than other kids her age. Despite the accusations that I am facing I would love the opportunity to train Milagro and Bee as well~. They are Mary’s dear friends so I am sure that she would like that~.”
“I don’t think that is necessary,” Zatanna said back to him.
“But I insist~,” he said back to her. Think of it as an act of good faith. To be honest it would help me regain some of my trust in the League~. Don’t you all agree~?”
“Can you just stop already?” Bee asked stepping forward. The entire League went silent with a mere few pieces of paper, pathetic. If she was still Batman this never would have been dealt with like this.
“Hmm~? Is there something you would like to say?” Mr. Terrific asked, curious to see what the former Batman had to say.
“This farce you’re putting on is weak. Did you really think that you could get away with this?” Bee asked him, pulling out the 3D projector that Luther gave to her last night before she left. All the data she needed to prove Mr. Terrific’s guilt was on this.
“Bee what kind of toy is that?” Mr. Terrific asked, starting to get worried. He had made sure to delete the physical and data copies of the test that he did on Mary, leaving only one set in his personal vault. And there was no way that anyone could ever dream of hacking into it.
“A toy? If that’s what you would like to call it then so be it,” Bee said, ready to press the button on the device, but she hesitated. Could see bare to watch the photoaged on this?”
“Bee, w-we’re with you,” Milagro said to her, knowing that whatever Bee had planned would work. All she and Pino could do was trust her.
“Bee?” Zatanna looked concerned, realizing that her daughter did something dangerous, but she couldn’t stop her now.
“Don’t worry mommy, this is what heroes do,” Bee said reassuring her before pressing the button. Once she didn’t multiple recordings of Mary being experimented on and tortured by Mr. Terrific were out for everyone to see. Bee and Milagro couldn’t help but cry seeing the scene play out before them. It was terrible, serval members of the League averted their eyes, unable to continue watching.
“Bee stop!” Superman yelled at her, having seen enough. Bee did as he asked, turning off the device. She looked over at Mary who was pale as a ghost. She had endured so much already and the pain of having to relive those memories must have hurt her even more.
“Mr. Terrific what the hell is this?” Superman asked, sounding furious.
“That’s n-nothing!” Mr. Terrific yelled, his heart racing as she started to sweat nervously. How on Earth did Bee get those videos? There should have been no one…Luther! That little brat struck a deal with Luther!
“Mary, is it true?” Superman asked her, seeing the terrified expression on her face.
“Of course, it’s not!” Mr. Terrific yelled answering for her. “Bee must have made all of those videos up with the help of Lex Luther.
“While it’s true that I asked Lex Luther for help I did so for good reason,” Bee said, acting as she once did while she was still batman. There were recordings and other video footage that could have been found, but there was no way that Mr. Terrific didn’t have a plan. In fact, we did have a recording that Mr. Terrific hacked into.”
“More lies coming from a child!” Mr. Terrific yelled. “Tell them that she is lying!” he yelled at Mary, who was still shaken up. “Tell them!!!”
“I-I-huh?”
“It’s okay,” Bee said, walking over to her with Milagro and Pino. “We’re here for you~.”
“Get away from my daughter!” Mr. Terrific yelled trying to pull the girls away.
“Stop it! You monster!” Mary yelled, tears flowing out of her eyes. “He is a monster! He hurt me, abused me, and wanted to do the same to my friends!”
“Why you little bitch!” Mr. Terrific yelled furious that he was outed by mere children.
“Mr. Terrific what you have done is unforgivable,” Superman said, looming over him. “I’ll be going over to Luther myself to ask for his assistance since it would seem that his words can be trusted more than yours now.”
“You fools! I was trying to better the world! So what if one child had to suffer? Progress takes sacrifice! Progress is-hey! Let go of me! I said let go!” Mr. Terrific yelled as other heroes dragged him away.
“Zatanna I was wrong to don’t you. We were wrong to doubt you,” Superman said to her as the other members looked down for not realizing this sooner.
“It’s not me you should be apologizing to,” Zatanna said to him. “It’s them, the children.”
“Mary, Bee, Milagro, and Pino, I’m sorry that none of us could see what was happening. We don’t expect you to forgive us adults for failing you, but if there is anything that you want, please just ask.”
The girls looked at each other, their faces were covered with tears. They knew what they had to do.
“Well, there is one thing~.”
-1 Month Later-
“In The Name Of The Moon I Shall Punish You~!!! Hehehehehe~!!!” Bee and Mary giggled watching the newest episode of Sailor Moon. Milagro and Pino were out of town so it was just them, but that was fine. They were happy with how things were. Both of them experienced pain and both of them received their second chance. It was finally time for them to move forward,
“Now, now girls, the show is over and it’s time for bed~,” Zatanna said, entering the room.
“Yes, mommy~!!!” Bee said, getting in bed and lying down next to Mary.
“Very good~. You two have certainly been having a lot of fun this past month~,” Zatanna said to them. “Though Mary your bed is over there~. Are you sure that you want to continue sleeping with Bee~?”
“Y-yes…Bee makes me feel safe~,” Mary said blushing as Zatanna tucked them in.
“That’s what big sisters do~,” Zatanna said to her sweet child. After the whole mess with Mr. Terrific Zatanna took it upon herself to adopt Mary into her family. It took Mary some time to become comfortable with them, but she most certainly was a great addition. Bee herself was overjoyed, and she was very protective of her, and eventually filled out the role of the big sister in their small family. Even Constantine was happy with this result, though he may not show it~. Zatanna would make a proper father out of him soon enough~.”
“I love you m-mom~,” Mary said a bit nervous calling Zatanna her mother, but it felt natural~. She had finally found the place where she belonged and she couldn’t ask for anything more~. None of them could~.,
As for now, this is where the story of Baby Bat comes to a close. Though her adventures will never truly end, and she may be back one day. Thank you all for reading Baby Bat, and I hope that you all support my other series~.
*Final Notes: My original plan was the make the ending a bit longer and flush out some of the plot holes, but unfortunately I didn't. While in preparation for the two other series coming out this month, I started losing traction on this story. To be fair I never thought that I would have gone this far in the first place with it, but I found that it was a fun story to do the more I wrote it. I hope that this sweet family ending was the one you all expected for this series. As for now, it's time to finish up Orochimama. There is a fun twist in that story, so please look forward to that~.*
