[3rd person POV] [Metropolis Court]

The hearing was over for the re-trial of Henry Allen in the case of the murder of Nora Allen.

Bruce has bought the judges, lawyers, and media companies controlling the major broadcasting station to set a verdict for his man.

There were a couple of those prideful lawyers and jury who didn't want to accept the simple fact that they couldn't win against Bruce Wayne and refused his offer. Well, for some reason their licenses were revoked, the next day, and most were reported as being involved in several different crimes. Now, they are being prosecuted for many various criminal offenses. This could include any of the following: taking bribes, bribe money embezzlement, money laundering, perverting the course of justice, jury fixing, conspiracy, perjury, tampering with witnesses, theft, and corruption.

Well, they should have taken Bruce's offer if they knew what was best for them.

To make things go even more swiftly, he had Elana create new evidence and manipulate the CCTV recordings of the convenience store from that night. At the time when Nora Allen was murdered, Henry was still at the convenience store with two other people. By the time he returned home, she was already dead. The alibi that Henry has, plus the solid proof, now shows he wasn't even the one to murder her and is actually innocent.

The police department and the Jury found no reason to disagree with the new piece of information given and had to set the new verdict which is not guilty. In the end, the final trial showed that the new evidence wasn't tampered with in any way and proved the man named Henry Allen innocent of committing the murder of Nora Allen and would be set free.

Today's news spread throughout the world and was shown on almost every channel. They even issued a public apology to the family and they wanted to agree to a settlement should Henry decide to sue for defamation or even intentional infliction of emotional distress or any type of liability or damage done during the period when he was still imprisoned for life with no possible parole. But, Henry refused. He just wanted to go home.

Outside the court...

Barry hugged his father tightly as they cried. It was an emotional moment for them.

"Now, now. Don't cry," Henry said in a soft tone as he stroked Barry's back.

Barry sniffled. "I'm not crying."

"Yeah, yeah..."

They pulled apart and looked at each other for a moment.

"I want to visit your mom," Henry said as he looked at Barry.

Barry nodded. "Yeah, I'll take you there."

He turned to look at Alfred and Selina who stood a couple of steps away.

"Bruce isn't going to come, is he? Still working on saving that frozen lady, huh?" Barry asked curiously.

Selina shook her head. "You know him. He hasn't left his lab for weeks now."

"Do you think he will get angry if I go for a visit? I just want to say thanks." Barry scratched the back of his head.

Selina smiled. "Don't worry about it. He won't mind."

After their brief conversation, Barry took his dad to his mother's grave. Barry stood beside Henry as he placed the flowers on top of Nora's grave. They both kneeled before her tombstone and prayed silently. Selina and Alfred remained standing behind them. A moment later, they heard footsteps approaching from behind them. They turned around and saw Bruce walking towards them while dressed in casual clothes.

Barry looked surprised, "I thought you were busy saving that lady?"

Bruce gave him a small smile, "Yeah, but a small break wouldn't hurt anyone, right?"

Henry walked up to Bruce and held out his hand, "Thank you so much for everything you did."

"ARRRRRRGGGG!" He went so far up in the sky that his screams faded out as his voice trailed away.

Diana rushed in and did the same to the rest of the gang. In the blink of an eye, sixteen men went soaring up to the sky along with their bikes. The sound of screams filled the night sky. They screamed for a few seconds, before falling into the water with a giant splash, sending splatters of water everywhere as they hit the surface.

One by one, they reappeared and tried desperately to make it back to the shore while keeping afloat but their heavy bikes only hindered them, dragging them below the water. So, they had to abandon their precious custom bikes. When the leader reached shore first, he jumped out of the water and took a swing at her. She grabbed his fist and flung him up in the sky, once again. The rest of them tried to run away, but... Well, they all ended up in the sky once again...

Diana repeated it for six times before the bikers went on their knees and begged for mercy.

"Stop it, please... We'll go away. You'll never see us again in here," they were now bowing in front of her, begging.

"In here?" Diana narrowed her eyes.

"Yes," The leader was about to say something, but the glare Diana gave him was enough to pee his pants once again, "No... I mean, we will surrender to the cops and we will disband."

Diana looked down at them with a hard expression.

"Well, then. Go and surrender. And if you try to deceive me, then, it won't be water next time, understand?" She said in a cold voice.

"Yes," the bikers hurriedly stood up.

"Get lost," She coldly dismissed them.

"Ye-, ye-.... Yess... yess. As you command, ma'am... Ma'am... MISS," The bikers frantically turned around and scrambled, running away.

Diana's eyebrow twitched a bit when they addressed her as the ma'am, but in the end, she just shook her head and resumed her patrol.
