Inb4 all the omakes about where Califa has ended up now. The Lookout? DBZA? Worm? Time travel? Azura's other fics? Who knows?
 
I half expected the mirror to reflect moon light or something like that and we have ourselves king kong vs puny humans v2.
Great chapter!

Growing Pains - Epilogue

Robin stood numbly at the cenotaph. The Gotham rain poured down around him.

The funeral for the stupid monkey felt surreal, as though Robin had slipped into another dimension by accident. Everything had just happened so suddenly. Maybe it was because they hadn't realised what had happened until she was already half an hour gone.

Up until Wonder Woman arrived, Robin hadn't had any doubt that they'd retrieve Califa from wherever the monkey girl had landed herself. Business as usual. It wasn't until Wonder Woman examined the mirror and her expression turned pale that he knew something was wrong. With a tremulous voice, she had identified the artefact as the Mega Death Laser Mirror of Lesbos. It was said that the mirror had been imbued by the greatest goētes of Ancient Greece an enchantment that killed one's foes super, super dead.

The shock of it still lingered. Califa was gone, and there was no way to bring her back. Robin couldn't help but feel like it his fault. The girl had been an idiot, and while Bruce was doing the real work, Robin should have been watching her. He glanced at the man who stood nearby, his stoic façade cracked for once.

As Wonder Woman spoke about Califa's growth and how she would be missed, and how the warriors of Themyscira would remember and honour her, Robin's thoughts were a turbulent whirlwind. Califa had been an annoying fungus, but she had been a part of his life. Kid Flash hadn't really known her, but he'd been sombre all week. Speedy had suddenly announced that he was changing his name to Red Arrow.

Robin bowed his head under his umbrella. He couldn't let this happen again. Just as Bruce was, he needed to become a proper leader. It was a lesson that would stay with him as he faced the uncertain future, down one frenemy forever.
 
Silly birds! Saiyans skip over the line of life and death so often, Heaven's Ice Cream Sundae Bar has a Frequent Visitor Free Sundae offer! And because it's Heaven, no one is lactose intolerant!

If God Of War has taught anything, it's that the Greek underworld has a revolving door that you just need to fight through so I'm sure she'll be found in a couple days raiding Bruce's fridge.
 
Califa would probably enjoy fighting Demons, Skeletal Warriors and also Hades who is probably Wonder Woman's real father and probably trains her for the giggles.
Even if Hades isn't her real father, I could imagine Hades wanting to fight her anyway depending on how busy he is (given the number of underworlds, who knows how busy he ends up being).

That is true although Hades was depicted as a villain in Justice League Unlimited show by the way. Especially with his Underworld depicted as Hell too as well.

So in about 10 minutes she walks up after having had her growth spurt in whatever "hell world" (read Saiyan paradise) she was teleported to? :p
