*The next Morning.*
The papers started coming out and Justin and Jess had made the front page. The headline read.
'Gotham's princess and her Satanic boyfriend'
Jessica Wayne, Heiress to Wayne Enterprises and her un-identified boyfriend fight through a crowd of papparazzi to get inside Gotham General Hospital. Jess' boyfriend seemed more than willing to attack papparazzi and forcefully pushed one of the Gotham Globe's reporters to the ground.
''We weren't bothering them. We only wanted some pictures of Jess and her new boyfriend.'' says one shocked reporter. '' I tried to get closer after I realised that Jess wasn't looking herself and was looking paler than snow. I only wanted some pictures! She looked like she was on drugs or something, which if she was, would have made a great story. That's when her boyfriend attacked the reporter beside me. He [the boyfriend] yelled at the top of his lungs for us to 'get out of his face' and that's when I saw them. He had fangs! Like a dog's k-9 teeth! Like a Vampire!''
Jess' brother, Dick was eating his breakfeast when Alfred placed the paper infront of him.
''Alfred? Did you see this? Those damn papparazzi must've made Jess like this!'' he stood up outraged.
''You had better not let your father see that, Master Dick. '' Alfred said a little shocked as he looked at the picture on the front page. The picture of Justin growling at the reporters and Jess sheilding herself from the cameras with her hands.
Sam had finally found Tom's house. He knocked on the door and punched him in the face when he answered the door. "Now we're even." He said, helping Tom up.
Tom got up and shook the stars from his eyes. "I guess I deserved that." He said slowly. Tom had played a mean prank on Sam before the break, Sam was minding his own business when he realized that he had a new tattoo on the back of his head. The tattoo, which Tom had put there, said 'Short sword' which neither of them really understood, but Sam hadn't made Tom pay for it all summer until now.

Justin appeared in the doorway and strode over to the table to sit down next to Dick. "I'm afraid shes getting worse." He grunted. "The ice has moved from her forearms to her neck and chest overnight.. I figure we have two days before she becomes a human icicle."
''Well that's just great news... and even better, did you see the paper this morning? They got a real nice shot of your teeth.'' Dick sat back down and slowly drank his coffee. ''Damn reporters...'' he mumbled.
Sam and Tom sat on top of Wayne Tower, drinking a case of soda. "This town seemed to get a lot quieter since I came back. It just doesn't feel like it used to." Tom said, letting his feet dangle over the edge of the tower.
Sam sighed. "Speak for yourself. All day it has been nothing but explosions, villains, and flying headstones! Honestly, I envy you. Not having to keep up the fight all of the time, you have a family to go home to now. All I have are my swords, at least, that's how it feels." Sam said, standing at the edge of the building.
Tom shrugged and took a sip of his soda. "I don't really think it's all that great, I have a lot to worry about now. I'm scared that something bad might happen to my new family like it did for my first one. I have to be extra careful when I fight now or there will be a lot more lost." He said with a sigh.
Sam slapped Tom upside the head and knelled down to talk to him. "What are you, some kind of idiot? That isn't something you should be worried about. If you keep thinking like that, eventually, you will be spending more time worrying about them then living with them... All I'm saying is that, you should be happy to at least have a family." He said, leaning back and sitting down.
Tom rubbed the newly formed lump on his head and looked out at the city. "I guess you're right... Too much worry, not enough life... I'll try to remember that."

Justin shot up. "JESS!" In the blink of an eye he shot out of the room and into Jess's. "Jess!" He asked. "What's wrong?!"
''Not really...she had my eyes and hair like mine but that's it...NO! wait... she standing somewhere...somewhere cold. There was a sign behind her it started with an 'I' the second word started with an 'L' I think...'' Jess closed her eyes, thinking about her dream. ''The 'I'-something... the 'I'-lounge or someth-- The Iceberg Lounge?! But Dad took Penguin out years ago... it's unnoccupied and in ruins...but it's cold in there... and in may dream, it was cold.''

Justin kissed her. "Thats my Jess." He whispered. "Can you move?" He asked, lifting her arm. "Because I may need your help... And Batmans.." He snickered.

''Suprisingly... yah.'' Jess made a fist then released it. She stood up and walked around. ''Yah, it's weird though, It feels like I'm frozen but I'm not... I wonder...'' she put her hand out and a stream of ice shot out at a pen sitting of her nightstand. ''Huh.. that works.. Well in that case... To the Bat Cave!'' she laughed. ''God! I've always wanted to say that!'' she walked over to a chess set sitting on a table by the couch. She moved the white queen four spaces forward and a black bishop two spaces. The wall with the tv screen in it opened to an elevator. She walked in and waited for Justin.
((Yah, I know we have to meet up. are you a hero or a villain?)
