Gotham City. One of the wealthiest most powerful cities in the entire world. That is what some would say.
Others would call it a breeding ground. A breeding ground for the corrupt. Corrupt bureaucrats willing to look the other way for the right price.
Countless men and women emerging from the shadows with the sole purpose of gaining control of the city.
Of gaining control of the power. Of gaining control of the wealth the city would bring in. Gain control of the leadership to bring the city into a new era.
An never ending cycle. No matter how many times the corrupt were put behind bars. No matter how many times a new criminal mastermind would rise up looking to make a name for themselves.
Never ending battles. But battles that would continue to be fought. Continue to be fought by a few selected individuals.
Individuals that have called Gotham City their home for years. A group that has become famous over the years.
The legendary Bat Family. That is what they are called. A large group of individuals that have taken the city by storm.
Have taken down every single man and woman looking to cease the city for themselves. A band of heroes.
Heroes that could always be found lurking in the shadows every single night. Much like this night. This cold fall night.
If only they knew of the dangers that laid in wait just ahead on this night. Dangers that would change everything forever.
Trying her best to keep her face masked of any emotions despite the smile that is starting to break across her face from feeling his hand slowly roaming down her exposed thigh just as she feels his fingers grazing her ribcage unable to suppress it any longer instantly Kara lets out a silent giggle as she moves her hand down to gently rest on top of his own holding it in place.
" Stop Jay. That tickles."
Feeling the softest of kisses being pressed against the side of her head only causing her smile to widen gently turning in his embrace opening her eyes as she finds a pair of eyes that she could get lost for hours looking into without having a chance to react suddenly as she feels his lips upon her own bringing her into a gentle kiss feeling her lips curling upward reaching up gently Kara wraps her arm around the back of his neck holding his head firmly in place.
A kiss that she can't help but get lost into as she opens her mouth allowing his tongue to enter to caress her own before after a few seconds she lets out a moan when she feels his hand roaming once again starting to roam down her thigh.
Roam downward until they disappear into her blue panties causing her to snap her eyes open and break off the kiss to stare directly into his eyes with a grin coming across her face.
" Do i get to keep you tonight?"
Unable to keep his smile from dropping shaking his head slightly with a sad smile Jason watches Kara's smile instantly drop and turn into a frown.
" Not tonight gorgeous. I'm suppose to relieve Babs in…."
Retracting his hand from underneath the blanket not catching her frown deepening from the lost contact reaching out Jason grabs a hold of his cellphone from a nearby nightstand only for his eyes to go as wide as saucers.
" Shit! I'm already late. Babs is going to kill me!"
Trying her best to keep the look of amusement from coming across her face only to fail miserably as she feels Jason's weight leaving the bed and watches him lean down to pick up a pair of his discarded jeans from the ground snapping up to a sitting position causing the blanket that had been draped over her to fail careless down exposing her bare chest slowly Kara crosses her arms over her chest as she watches him quickly put on his clothes.
" I still don't see why he has you doing this? This shift switching business is just ridiculous."
Feeling his lips curling up into a smile casually shrugging his shoulders earning him an eye roll from behind throwing on his shirt slowly Jason makes his way back over to the bed to sit up against the side.
" I agree with you on that front gorgeous. You know that. Most of the time i'm just playing on my phone just waiting for something exciting to happen anyways."
" Exactly! So explain to me again why you have to go out there every single night when nothing happens? I know Bruce can be so…."
Seeing her eyes leaving his own to look up towards the ceiling with an almost thoughtful expression coming across her face feeling a grin coming across his face reaching out gently he takes one of her hands into his own.
" Paranoid?"
" I was going to go with being such a bastard but i guess paranoid is an acceptable answer too."
Letting out a chuckle causing a small smile to come across her face closing the distance between them leaning forward gently Jason brings Kara into a kiss.
" Let him be paranoid. If it means that i get to come home to see you every single day then it's well worth it."
Feeling her face breaking out into a bright smile leaning forward gently Kara captures his lips once again as her arms find themselves around the back of his neck.
" I'll never get tired of that."
Nodding her head gently against his own as her lips curl up into a grin leaning forward Kara pecks Jason on the lips.
" Come back to me and i promise you much more later."
Gently wiggling out of her embrace to stand up from the bed sending her a mock salute as he hears her starting to laugh with a wide smile across her face feeling his own face breaking out into a smile slowly Jason makes his way around the bed to make his way towards his closed bedroom door as he sees Kara lying back down on the bed covering herself up once again with the blanket with her eyes already closed.
" Have fun catching a cold. I'll be right here waiting when you get back."
Cracking open her eyes as she sees Jason rushing out of the room not even bothering to close the door behind him feeling her lips curling up into a smile leaning her head down further into her pillow slowly Kara closes her eyes before she lets the darkness take her.
Feeling a glaring light making its way through her closed eyelids cracking open her eyes to stare over towards a nearby window with a look of annoyance rearing back plopping the pillow that she had been using over her head feeling the soft fabric against her skin once again letting out a sigh slowly Kara closes her eyes as she makes herself more comfortable on the bed.
Makes herself comfortable until after a few seconds of hearing nothing but pure silence instantly she snaps her eyes open as she reaches out to feel the other side of the bed completely empty.
Completely empty where another would usually be found on many mornings holding her close. Something that makes her turn her head and discard the pillow over the edge of the bed of find her suspicions to be proven correct.
Her boyfriend nowhere in sight. No evidence showing that he even had entered the room while she was sleeping.
None of his clothes discarded anywhere in quick fashion to get under the covers with her. His cellphone absent from his nightstand.
His pillow still untouched as though he never laid there in the first place. Clear evidence that makes a frown come across her face as she shakes her head.
" Damn that old man."
Throwing off the covers to sit up on the side of the mattress allowing her long smooth legs to hand over the edge rubbing her eyes gently letting out a sigh slowly getting up from the bed to make her way over towards a nearby dresser without breaking her stride rearing back Kara opens up a few of drawers and retrieves some fresh clothing for the day.
Clothes that as she looks down towards makes her lips curl up into a smile. A smile as a flood of memories come back to her.
Memories of how they had gotten to this point. And it all started with a simple meeting. A meeting of two of the world's greatest heroes.
All started when the criminal mastermind known as The Scarecrow that fled Gotham City in an attempt to escape from The Bat Family's clutches.
An attempt that had lead him to her city. Lead him to Metropolis in a desperate attempt to escape the heroes. Lead him straight to her.
A moment she would never forget. Never forget the moment that she had first spotted him. Had first spotted the new Robin.
How the moment their eyes met everything around her seemed to freeze. Like they were off in their own little world.
A moment that she would experience throughout the visit as to her surprise and liking they had been assigned to be a team with her serving as his guide.
A partnership that proved to be beneficial to the both of them with the more time that they spent together.
The more time she showed him the city with him hanging on her every word. Believing everything she was saying to be true.
Heck she could have said the sky was green and her would have believed her. A small secret that she would always keep to herself whenever she is alone with him.
An small secret that had first brought new but welcomed feelings inside of her. Feelings that she was unsure how to make of them until it happened.
Until after months of keeping in contact with each other it happened. He had kissed her. Had kissed her under the stars as the clock struck twelve bringing them in to a new year.
A blissful moment that would always be with her with many others. Other memories that have lead their relationship to this point.
Lead them to the point where neither could bare being without the other for a long period of time. Something that was referred to as young puppy love by their friends. Whatever that means.
Would lead her to almost every single night make a quick flight from Metropolis over towards Gotham City just to spend the night in his arms.
A strange feeling she thought at first. Strange to feel completely safe within his arms. Feel as though she was right where she needed to be.
A feeling that only had gotten stronger through the months as their relationship deepened. Deepened to the point where they had sex.
Yet another memory that makes her blush and laugh at the same time as she retrieves the last of the clothing she needed to start the day before she makes her way over towards the bathroom connected to the bedroom making sure to close the door behind herself with her heel.
The memory of watching as she lost control of her powers for a split second causing his bed frame to collapse.
Causing the entire room to shake as she yelled out his name at the top of her lungs. A truly wonderful moment.
A moment that had been quickly broken when she heard his bedroom door flying open revealing Barbara and Alfred causing her to quickly duck and cover herself up with a nearby blanket.
Giggling at the memory stripping herself of her blue panties and kicking them to the side leaving her totally exposed making her way into the walk in show with a flick of her wrist slowly Kara closes the clear glass shower door and turns on the shower causing her to let out a sigh when she starts to feel the warm water hitting her skin.
Hitting her hair that causes a flicker of a smile to come across her face when she thinks back to that night.
The night that she knew without a shadow of a doubt she loved Jason Todd. A special night. A simple night that would always remain special to her.
Remembering how he had surprised her by telling her that he was going to be taking her out somewhere with only the simple instructions to dress nice.
An odd instruction but one that she had followed by picking out a simple blue dress. A dress that she had been saving for the right occasion.
A dress that showed her curves perfectly. Showed just enough cleavage but not too much. A dress that hit its mark once she saw the look across her date's face.
Seeing the desire in his eyes. Seeing the absolute awe in his eyes that would cause a bright smile to come across her face with three simple little words escaping his lips.
You're so beautiful. A smile that would remain across her face as she would be escorted to the limo waiting for them to take them to their destination for the evening.
A destination that once she laid her eyes upon it only made her eyes go wide in shock. The Penguin's Nest.
The most expensive restaurant in the entire city. A restaurant owned by a criminal now turned into a respectable businessman.
A restaurant that lived up to its name showing why it was voted to be the best in the entire city. Great food.
Great entertainment from a few of the more popular local singers and bands. It even had an ice rink to skate on along with a dance floor a small skating distance away.
But that wasn't what made the night special. No it came with a promise. A promise that made for the first time since mourning her parents deaths.
A promise that when he was old enough he would propose to her. A promise that had brought her into tears before she pounced on him bringing him into a heated kiss promising more to come later on in the night.
Yet another thought that makes a smile come across her face as she cracks open her eyes to look down towards her nude body.
A body that most of the female population on the planet would kill for. A body that she didn't know if it wasn't a blessing or a curse.
A blessing to be admire by her boyfriend every single day just by the constant nicknames he would come up with just for her that she thought of to be cute.
Even if it wasn't just her body that he loved. But it also came with a cost. The cost to be stared at. Be stared at by her co workers that would look at her with lust whenever they thought she wasn't looking.
Heck even when he revealed her true self as Supergirl just trying to help she would spot numerous men and women with the same looks across their faces.
Some even trying to take a peak underneath her skirt to see what color panties she was wearing on that given day.
Looks that disgusted her. But never from him. No he was different. He would never look at her in that way.
Something that she only loved him more for. Loved him even more when she had lead him into his bedroom after that given moment only to feel so loved when he kissed her.
When he held her and so gently lowered her down to his bed unlike most men in his position would have done.
Would have ripped away at her dress but not him. No he had only done the opposite until his eyes had asked her permission to do so.
The very same eyes that she is currently thinking about as she squeezes some of her shampoo out from a nearby bottle and throws back her head under the shower nozzle with her eyes firmly closed.
Those blue eyes. Eyes that she has always seen staring happily back at her. Every single morning. Every single evening when it was time to go to sleep. Even every single time he would hold her hand.
But where were those eyes now? Where is he? It's not like him to keep me waiting.
Tilting her head slightly downward allowing the water to hit the back of her head a flicker of a smile comes across Kara's face.
I bet he's downstairs in the kitchen waiting for me. He has made me breakfast in the past. This could be one of those times.
Feeling her smile only widening with every passing second standing under the nozzle in complete silence after a couple more minutes as she feels the warm water running down her back reaching out gently Kara turns off the shower causing a sudden chill to erupt in the air before slowly she exits out of the shower and grabs a hold of a nearby table to almost immediately start to dry off her hair as she makes her way over towards the sink.
Makes her way over to discard the wet towel in her hands to grab a hold of her fresh set of clothes and start to get dressed for the day.
Clothes that spoke volumes. Spoke of how far their relationship has truly come. A pair of dark blue panties that match his eyes perfectly.
A light blue pair of jeans being held up loosely by a small black belt with noticeable holes in the kneecaps.
A short cut white t shirt with the superman logo in the dead center of her chest while her stomach remains exposed.
But last but not least the hoodie. A new hoodie that she has been wearing for a while now. Sometimes even out as Supergirl replacing her red cape.
A simple black hoodie with the Robin logo center directly in the middle of its back. A simple display showing she was Robin's girl.
A thought that makes her smile as she throws on the hoodie and tucks her hair in the back only to allow it to fall loosely over her shoulders before slowly she makes her way out of the bathroom with her discarded clothes in her hand.
Clothes that she easily sends soaring through the air into a nearby hamper before with an extra spring to her step she slowly makes her way out of the bedroom and down the long hallway in the direction of the stairs.
The large pair of stairs leading up towards the floor that she is on. A massive floor. Just like the mansion in her opinion. Way too big for a few people to live in.
But space that had presented to them opportunities. Presented them with fun times. Just like the one that comes to her mind now as her fingers graze the railings of the massive set of stairs.
The memory of sliding down these stairs holding onto Jason's back laughing as a snow machine blasted off fake snow nearby.
Letting out a giggle feeling her smile only widening descending down the rest of the stairs turning on her heels slowly Kara makes her way around the corner and journeys through the rest of the mansion.
Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching dropping the newspaper gently down onto the table looking up as he finds Kara slowly making her way into the room looking completely lost in thought with a noticeable smile across her face feeling his own smile forming across his face slowly Alfred gets up from his seat causing her eyes to snap towards him.
Eyes that he can see something instantly wrong when he sees her eyes leaving his own to glance around the room with a flicker of emotions coming across her face.
The most glaring was concern. But concern about what?
Taking a quick glance around the room seeing Jason nowhere in sight but instead finding Barbara sitting at the kitchen table eating some cereal looking as though she had just woken up herself while Alfred sits no too far away with a noticeable paper out in front of him feeling her smile dipping into a frown slowly Kara continues to look around not catching the concerned look across the older man's face.
" Good morning. Is there anything that i can get for you my dear?"
Without stopping her search slowly Kara shakes her head as her eyes keep sweeping around the room.
" No thank you Alfred. Has Jason gotten back yet?"
Seeing the look of concern radiating from her eyes wishing he could take it away only to disappoint her with a shake of his head for a split second Alfred sees a flicker of confusion come across her face before it is quickly masked.
" I'm sorry my dear but master Jason hasn't gotten back yet."
Instantly as he hand comes to a mid stop just inches away from her face slowly Barbara lowers the spoon in her hand back down into her bowl as she looks over towards Alfred.
" He hasn't?"
Receiving a shaking of his head releasing the spoon in her hand looking away from him and up towards the ceiling with a tilted head as a thoughtful look comes across her face slowly Barbara glances back towards Alfred.
" Is there something wrong?"
" Maybe? It's not like him to not be back here by now. Maybe we should check up on him. Kara?"
Looking back forward instantly as she sees Kara nowhere in sight for a split second Barbara's eyes go wide.
