Bat Family Playhouse

Bad news: Caroline was hit by a car and sent flying.

Good news: Caroline was reborn.

Bad news: The city she'd been reborn in was called Gotham.

Good news: Her parents were reasonably well-off, law-abiding, and kind to others.

Bad news: Her parents died in a plane crash. Superman was busy brawling with Lex Luthor at the time, so she was doomed.

Good news: Her parents left behind a hefty inheritance, enough to keep her fed and clothed until she was ninety-nine.

Bad news: She wouldn't be able to fully claim the inheritance until she came of age.

Even worse news: She, the great and lucky Caroline Black, had just celebrated her first birthday.

In the space of a year, the great and lucky Caroline had experienced death, birth, and wishing she were dead. She was currently wishing she were dead.

Caroline lay gloomily in her crib and let out a little burp.

Her dear cousin, and the son of her current guardian, Timothy Drake, immediately picked her up anxiously. "Kelly, are you all right? Did you choke?"

Even worse, her dear cousin was only thirteen and on his way to audition to be Batman's Robin.

Robin is expendable! The little birds in that family don't get to die and come back to life over and over without being ostracized!!!

Bro, calm down! Aaaaaah!!!
