An epilogue to all lore

"Why are we doing a dinner party, if the last one was a disaster?" Mary asked as soon as christel stirred the pot of curry.

"Because I have an announcement" Christel softly explained with a smile "and.. I have a feeling we are in for a new beginning. A better one. So I wanted to celebrate it with our family"

Bruce entered the room watching mary and christel cook. "Christel are you sure, you should be cooking?" The man asked making Mary raise an eyebrow. Christel just chuckled before nodding and saying "I am fine, no morning sickness or anything"

Now Mary was even more confused, morning sickness? Mary rashly decided to use her power to check weather christel was doing alright only to find.. Mary gasped, pointing at christel "your--!"

"Hush now, close your mouth before mosquitoes fly in" Christel giggled a soft blush on her face, christel was happy about the news so Mary didn't say anything further. Until the three went into a quiet silence. Bruce surprisingly helping christel with the cooking.

"Aren't.. You scared?" Mary asked breaking their silence. Christel raised an eyebrow. Mary sighed continuing her sentence "aren't you scared? Alek and Aris aren't exactly mortals now are they? How do you cop with the idea of... Them not being in control with their powers? You know what I mean. It's risky" Mary explained with a frown. Bruce just listened.

Christel was still smiling "truth be told.. I am still restless at the idea of them not being able to control the powers given to them, them by mistakenly teleporting into another dimension not being able to return to me, or them losing a battle in case they have a siren and oddi of their own" Christel spoke softly as she heard a ' I take offense to that ' and ' I think they will do just fine ' inside her brain.

"But.." Christel took a deep breath "that's life, and I can just watch as they grow. I can't live in fear. All I can do is be besides them and help them learn, heck I too need to learn how to control my own powers. So no, I don't think this is risky at all" Christel side glanced Mary. Mary looked troubled so christel couldn't help but ask. "Is there something else that you want confirmation on?"

"We are immortals.. Damian and ida are not" Mary said, that was enough for christel to know.

"Well then.. Time will tell us. Let's not think about it huh?" Christel said voice lowering. Mary stared at the curry before nodding.

"I will go check on the kiddos" Mary left the room. Leaving the father-in-law and daughter-in-law behind.

"You are doing good" Bruce suddenly said catching christel off guard "not like me at all" He cut a few vegetables as he continued "I am not the family member some people might need. But I hope I can be a good grandfather to all of them"

Christel's smile fell a little but her face was still sincere and happy. "I think you already are Batman"

"Mistress Wayne" Alfred asked. Christel sighed as she spoke "alfred, please don't call me that. It's weird." Alfred just gave a huffy laugh.

"Very well, mistress Judith. The guests are already here" Alfred explained. Christel nodded with a grin.

"Let's get this party started then"

When I first came to gotham I wanted to get away from my family. The Elora mafia empire. I wanted to be a blank slate coloured new.

But I failed.

In doing so, I got myself in all sorts of situations.. Both pleasant and unpleasant.

Christel entered the room and immediately was waved at by Dick Grayson who was carrying Alek like a sack of potato's

I met a women I would call my first mother, mentor and guardian. My landlord claudia. She sticked and supported me until her last breath. She is the whole reason I stepped foot into and survived gotham. I will forever be grateful to her. I know, she will forever live in both mine and Richard's memories.

Christel snorted as she saw Garfield Lynns aka firefly talking or more like ranting to Ethan Bennett aka clayface.

I met two goofballs of a rogues, one who decided to be a pain to me and become my arch nemesis and the other deciding to become my cat and keep me safe. Those two made my internship days at Wayne industries colourful.

Back when my problems was how to hide a clay monster as my cat, how to stop a villian from ruining my Saturdays and all the paperwork that Tim Drake assigned me, my now brother-in-law.

Christel waved as Tim, who unsurprisingly already had a cup of coffee in his hand with a cheesecake? Okay that was surprising.

Speaking of my old days, there was also metis. one of my first friends in gotham, who i lost connection with years ago.. But I don't look back at that with sadness. They were good memories after all..

Christel felt a small pinch of pain in her chest as she remembered her other friend.

.. And how can I forget something I do look back at with sadness but fondness.. Hecate Grelitia, my former roomate and someone once family now a distant memory, with them they brought more family members that I do want the best for. Daxter, someone who I wasn't fond of at the beginning but became the only person I would call panda, kam someone who proved me wrong and improved themselves for the better, Carol and ben. Both still living peaceful in my heart. One of them, still remaining my mother.

And of course there are also their kids....

Christel felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up to see a tall familiar face, hades. Her father.

"Is everything alright christel? You looked a little saddened" Hades asked softly. Christel shook her head answering "oh no no. Just remembering old days.."

Hades nodded with a awfully fatherly smile, going back to talking with hera and Bruce, the couple nobody expected to work so well together.

And then we have Hades. A person who caused my first ever apocalypse. My godly father. The reason I have the tittle of co-ruler of the underworld. To think how things change. The man I once hated alot is genuinely like a father to me... Well the apocalypse he made me cause was nothing compared to the other one I caused..

Erasure timeline something i did to rid the world of the Elora empire, I considered it my greatest failure and mistake. Thankfully everyone in this room forgave me and decided to move past everything...

Christel felt her chest warm up as she saw harold and Lilian talk to Alfred. She was happy, they took her invitation to come to the dinner party. Her relationship with Harold was rocky still... But they were moving past it and becoming siblings again. Christel couldn't be more happy about that.

Christel felt her heart combust as soon as she saw Mary give Aristella a piggy back ride only to come across Harold. Harold chuckling and picking up both the girls into a mega piggyback ride.

At first I didn't even know.. I didn't know how I could become a parent, I was already so lost with Anas... I cursed Persephone for giving me a blessing I shouldn't have. But me and Damian can't curse her anymore....

Christel almost cried as she saw how giddy both Mary and Aristella looked.

Thank you Persephone, for giving us two lovely daughters.

A small tear left her eyes as she saw Dick carry Aleksander over to delenn and Jason. Who both looked a little tired but christel was happy they could make it. Jason immediately took Aleksander, putting the boy on his right shoulder.

I am not fond of how Aleksander came to be but if I had to go through the same thing to get him again.. I would do it again and again. I won't change how I got him at all. That's my son. My baby. Talon and everything.

Christel looked at the scene with glee as Jason and delenn entertained Aleksander and also talked with Dick.

How can I not talk about mama and papa huh? Jason isn't my papa, but I do respect him as one. He married the women that if anyone asked who was my mother. I would say her name. Delenn Parker, the women who once saved me from erasing myself and helped me when i lost my first mother. My mama who is also my role model. I would have been dead without her and I can't be more thankful to her then I already am.

Music started as everyone decided to dance, Bruce and hera were the first once at the dance floor, followed by Jason and delenn and then everyone else. Christel stared around. Barnaby, Al, Evan, Amelia, hannah, cassian, ace and nathen couldn't make it. But christel did send them some food packages.

I hope Barnaby doesn't blast it thinking it is a trap. I literally wrote my name on top of the box and sent him texts saying I was sending food.. The way, he entered my life was weird from the first day. I found him sleeping on my roof but I am happy I befriended him. He truly is an amazing companion. With him he brought Al, Who I still find the most smart and crafty individual.

Evan.. His parenting situation still makes me worried about him but he is a intelligent kid, who is also stubborn. All I can do is look after him from after.. I hope he likes the bento I sent him..

Amelia will always be someone who helped me understand myself better, hannah the friend who had my back, cassian the friend whose morals were in the gutter but whose heart was in the right place, ace a kid who I also have a need to look after and nathen... Honestly I don't really know where nathen is.. I should probably track that man down.

"Are you planning on just standing there beloved or are we going to dance?" Damian asked, christel turned to look at him only to find Anastacius sitting on his shoulder. Christel chuckled

"Who am I dancing with? My husband or my son?" Christel asked in a joking manner. Anastacius giggled as the boy replied "two in one offer! Take it now"

"Oh my, lucky me!" Christel chuckled, letting her husband and son pulled her into the dance floor. Christel wasn't aware she had heaviness inside her, anxieties. She only realized it when she had it all lighten away as she danced with them.

My dear boy Anastacius, I fear the day you know that I killed your mother. I hope you understand it was for a good reason and I hope you know that I truly love you either as your aunt or as your mother and so does he..

Christel glanced at Damian, who was carefully dancing with her while also having Anas on his shoulders.

I can't say anything except, I love you.

"What do you have on your mind beloved?" Damian asked. Christel looked away, this wasn't the time for her to feel like a teenage girl. She wasn't one anymore.

"At the moment? You and our family. That's what on my mind. The only thing I need to protect" Christel explained softly. "Everyone else can fuck off" She joked. Damian frowned looking up at Anas who covered his ears. "Whoops~" Christel giggled.

"Bad mama" Anastacius lectured. Christel nodded softly before saying "yes mama is bad, but you aren't so don't use that word"

Damian sighed giving a stupidly cute smile "mama isn't that bad but still dont use that word"

Christel couldn't help it and pulled Damian into a small kiss. Ignoring Anas's "ewww I am too closee"

After a few more minutes of dancing and a surprise dance and kiss from flatline, everyone sat on the dinner table waiting for what christel wanted to announce. The whole point of the dinner party.

Christel took a deep breath, looking at Damian, then flatline and the kids and then at the whole table.

Here it is christel.. A new beginning..

"I am pregnant"

...and a new member.

Everyone at the table cheered, some leaving their chairs to congratulate the trouple. Christel stared at everyone, some tears falling down.

Everything would be just fine.
