When Taking her there she was able to tell them how she knew and that she came from 2029 in a different world where she knew them as Comic Book characters, when Robin says his Holy catchphrase and Nozomi mistakes it has him saying the S-Word, and Batman told her it was nothing like that and ask not to use bad language (Bad word) in the Batcave, Nozomi understand but also mentions it's usually **Ryuji Sakamoto** who does it and **Ann Takamaki** gets mad at him for it and she learned this from **Tsuruno Yui,** Robin asked if she knew where they are and Nozomi said they were in **Kamihama City**, taking about Tart and how she was alive at 600 years old, lead to Robin talking about her death but Nozomi says how Madoka Kaname brought her back to life.

To Prove to them she was from the year 2029, she used the ID Tag on her Backpack, Batman came that they not choice but to take in what Nozomi was saying as fact but it wasn't enough to prove it seeing that Nozomi can understand that, she also says that this the 4th world she has traveled to so far, but Batman and Robin had to get back on the case about the Mad Hatter and King Tut team up, Batman told Nozomi to stay in the Batcave but don't touch anything, Robin agrees with Batman as they didn't had time talk about "World Hopping" showing they didn't believe what Nozomi was saying was true just yet, Alfred would watch Nozomi as he cleans the Batcave on Wednesdays. as they leave Nozomi does wonder why they left her there, she thought it must be the reason she knows there identities as Bruce and Grayson, and that none of the super-villains know where the Batcave was so she may be safe there but Nozomi didn't think much of it.

Awhile in the Batmoblie, Robin said to Batman what Nozomi said was right but he was still puzzled on how she knew all of it so accurately and asked if she was telling the truth, Batman agreed they may have to find the others she mentioned that are in Gotham City, but they had to also focus on what they were doing too, two things they need to keep a lot out for there main knowledge was that both King Tut and Mad Hatter were released from prison, when coming to a location of an abandoned factory they came across the Green Hornet and his Sidekick Kato, asking why they were here Green Hornet only mentioned something strange was happening, Robin asked what but Kato said it was know of his business, However Shadow Alice was watching the four vigilantes and Souta brought Nozomi to where they were, Nozomi felt Shadow Alice nearby.

When Shadow Alice used Color-Smoke to knock them out and transport them into Witches Labyrinth infused with a jail, Nozomi ran do them also getting transported, Batman tells Robin to use his Rebreather and Green Hornet also tells Kato to do the same, Nozomi had grab on Robin's Leg as she could not see where she was going, this surprised the Duo and Robin gave his Rebreather to Nozomi for her to Breath but he passed out, and they were then separated once entering the Jail Infused Labyrinth.

Kato and Robin were stuck with Nozomi, and Nozomi knew where they were so they wandered around, though at some point Nozomi said she didn't know exactly where they were going, Shadow Alice on a TV Screen says she's kidnapped Ren, Calling Nozomi the "Joker's Child" and so on, Robin, Kato and Nozomi get to where the witch, Shadow Alice and Ren are, Nozomi now knows Ren is her father, but Shadow Alice mocks it and make Nozomi mad, Ren and the others had a reason to lie and she was ok with that it's why it was called a "White Lie", Nozomi then awakens to her Persona, and she defeats the witch, Batman gets taken to the next world with them and subsequently joins Aiko's Group, while Robin was in Nozomi's Group.
