Phoebe sighed, "my father is not your father. Wayne is my father. I only knew who my mother was when I was five and she sent me a letter. I lived in an orphange for 18 years. I only met my mother not too long ago. And I only found out that batman was my father when he came to take me back here. Never presume you know everything. My parents gave me up to protect me. Now, I can protect myself, and I've had the chance to know them both. She would have done the same for you...but I suspect...when I was five, my powers develop, so I suspect she watched over me, to make sure I wouldn't get hurt"
