Sophie P.O.V
Three years have gone by and I've learned so much. Dad helps me with troubles at school but apart from that I can take care of myself with fighting and mental skills. I've grown to become thirteen in the space of three years, Bruce says that I should stop growing soon. No has been around me much lately, they must be doing something big because I can't read their minds and it's starting to bug me. I patrol the streets with dad in my costume that he made for me. I'm called young Husk. Dad tells me that Mom was called Husky, I miss her. I never even got to she her, all I have is some pictures of when she was younger. She looks so much like me now. Brown long hair and brown eyes. But I won't ever see her. Ever since my mother died Bruce has been away a lot lately too. Dad says that he is just upset and needs to be alone for a while. I try my best to believe him but I keep getting a feeling that I need to find out what's going on. But I just let it go. Maybe I should listen to the feeling and try to find out what's going on.
I ride my stake broad home from school with my earphones in my ears. Not nothing out of the normal day for me. But today I'm going to find out what is going on with everyone and why they won't tell me. I get to the front door, I go to grab it and I go flying back. I land on some grass and I feel dizzy. I look at my house and I that it's on fire.
"No." I whisper. I scan the place with my mind making sure my dad wasn't in there. He wasn't in there, thank god. The fire men finally put out the fire and they bring out what didn't get burned. Some of my mothers things and a few of mine and dads stuff.
"Your a lucky girl." One of the fire men tell me as he puts all my things in front of me.
"I've been told that so many times." I mutter under my breath. Dad comes out of the crowd that have came round the house.
"Sophie. Thank your okay." He says as he hugs me.
"I don't know what happened. I was just coming home from school and then when I go for the door I'm half way across the road." I tell him.
"It's okay. I'm sure Bruce will help us out." My dad says.
I ride on my skate broad to Bruce's while my dad goes on his motor bike. When we get there Alfred answers the door and tells us that Bruce was in the cave again. I walk down there with my dad and see that Dick was with him too.
"Dick!" I squeal. I run to him and he catches me in his arms and hugs me.
"You've grown again." He laughs as he pulls me back so he just has me in his arms. He puts me down and dad walks over and he talks to Bruce.
"Bruce, do you think you could give Sophie and me a room to crash in until I can get a new house?" My dad asks him.
"Sure. Just don't let Sophie near my room or anything that says keep out." Bruce replies. I feel a bit hurt from that. But I just let it go.
"Come on. Let's go to the gym I'll teach you some tricks." Dick says as he holds my hand and we walk to the gym. We get to the gym and Dick runs to the trapeze
"Come on. I'll teach you how to do this." He calls for me.
"I thought I'd just do some weights." I lie. I need to find out what's going on.
"Okay, suit yourself." Dick says before he jumps onto his rope and he swings and it looks kind of fun. But I can't get involved with that while trying to find out what''s happening that everyone is hiding from me.
I grab a weight and start to lift it a couple times on one arm before going onto the next.
"So Dick, where you been? I haven't seen you or Bruce in a while." I ask him.
"Oh, well I was at Bludheavn. You know what it's like, where there's crime, I'll be there." Dick laughs at the last part. His lying.
"Dick your a terrible lier." I say.
"I know. But hey I had to give it a go. You seriously shouldn't worry about anything." Dick sighs. I put the weight back and Dick comes and joins me.
"You really are like your mother." He tells me.
"So I've been told. But that's not what I'm after. Why is everyone keeping a secret from me?" I ask him in a serious tone.
"We're not hiding anything from you!" Dick replies.
"Who's we?" I ask as I try to read his mind. I feel him try his hardest to block me out but he gives up and I see inside his mind for once. I look through all his thoughts and memories. My mothers body, Bruce was carrying my mothers body into a pit. What's going on? I come out of Dick's mind as I feel to dizzy.
"Wha... what was Bruce doing with my mother?" I ask Dick. He doesn't answer me.
"Dick!" I snap. He just stands there and I think I know what I've done to him. I've fried his brain.
"Damn it." I say out loud.
"Dad!" I yell. With in a few minute dad and Bruce walk in to see me trying to repair Dick's mind.
"Sophie! What did you do?!" Bruce panics.
"It wasn't my fault. I didn't know that the block on his brain was a safety check." I reply.
"You lied to me father." I tell my dad.
"I had to Sophie. It was the only way." My dad sighs.
"Only way for what?" I ask.
"For me to come back." I hear a woman reply to my question. I turn around to see a beautiful young woman come out the shadows.
"Mom?" I gasp.
