Kanna POV
'What's going on here? Were am I? What have I done? Who is the man beside me? What did he make me do?' I ask myself.
'I'll figure that out later right now I need to be separated from him, and freed from his influence permanently. I hear a still small voice in my heart. The voice holds authority.' I say to myself.
'Who ever you are please free me from this evil man, and send me somewhere I can be happy. I know I have done evil, but please hear my plea.' I pray.
As soon as my prayer is finished I am engulfed in a bright light much to the anger and astonishment of the man. Not wanting to think of him any more I focus on whats happening. Within seconds the light is gone. I find myself in a strange place where I can't understand anyone. It is night time and I feel sleepy. So I'll find some shelter and figure out what to do in the morning.
Normal POV
The morning is bright and cheerful the birds are singing, and Kanna finds herself feeling more than she ever has in her life. She goes to the park to process everything that is happening to her. When Kanna gets to the park she notices the crack in her mirror is mended. Kanna starts to think about everything.
While she is doing this Bruce Wayne and his foster son arrive at the park and look around. They see Kanna. At first they think nothing of it then she starts crying. Bruce and Dick rush over to see what's wrong. Bruce asks.
"What's wrong?" Bruce
After receiving nothing but a confused stare he decides to try Japanese, because of her clothes.
"What's wrong?" Bruce
"I am overwhelmed, and scared." Kanna
"Why is that?" Bruce
"I am overwhelmed because I am not used to feeling. I am scared because I am a world away from home and do not know anybody." Kanna
"What's your name?" Bruce
"Kanna." Kanna
"Why don't we finish the conversation over there?" Bruce
"Yes." Kanna
Bruce, Dick, and Kanna go over and sit down so they can talk properly. When they are seated Bruce asks.
"Kanna; What did you mean when you said you are not used to feeling?" Bruce
"Before last night I lived with my father. While living with him I was in my essence void. No emotions, No substance, nothing at all. When my father ordered me to destroy a village I had no choice. When I released the souls I was forced to steal I had a twinge of rebellion. I became aware that what I was made to do was wrong. I heard the voice of God in my heart. Immediately I prayed to be freed from my father, and to go somewhere I can be happy. That is how I found myself in a different world with everything I lacked." Kanna
"You're from another dimension. That explains somethings." Bruce
"Explains what?" Kanna
"That kind of stuff doesn't happen here can't happen here." Bruce
"I see. What am I going to do now? I have no where to go; No home what so ever." Kanna
"If you want you can come and live with me and Dick." Bruce
"You want to help me even after everything I just told you; Why?" Kanna
"You were victimized by your father. You need some one to take care of you who will love, protect, and guide you. I want to be that person." Bruce
Kanna puts her mirror down and sits in Bruce's lap hugging him tears of joy flowing down her cheeks. Bruce returns the hug with love and warmth. Kanna replies saying.
"I would love to; I am so happy." Kanna
"Lets go home I just have to call ahead. Why don't you and Dick go for a walk while I make the necessary arrangements. My name is Bruce Wayne by the way." Bruce
"Yes Bruce." Kanna
Kanna picks up her mirror and starts walking down a path with Dick. Once they are out of earshot Bruce takes his phone out of his pocket and calls Alfred.
"Alfred prepare a guest room, and call my lawyer." Bruce
"Sir." Alfred
"I found an abused little girl from another dimension, and I'm going care for her like I do Dick." Bruce
"Including or excluding your night life sir?" Alfred
"Excluding." Bruce
"Very good sir. I await your return Master Bruce." Alfred
Bruce puts his phone away and catches up with Kanna and Dick. They seem to be having a very interesting conversation he says.
"We need to go home now there are somethings we need to take care of so Kanna can live with us." Bruce
"Yes Bruce." Kanna and Dick
Bruce, Dick, and Kanna arrive at Wayne Manor at the same time as the lawyer. The lawyer walks up to Bruce and says.
"Bruce this must be the young lady you wish to adopt." lawyer
"Yes her name is Kanna." Bruce
"I have the necessary papers. If you will follow me to your office." lawyer
"Certainly, Alfred please take Kanna and Dick to the kitchen to get something to eat." Bruce
"Of course Master Bruce. Right this way Master Dick, Miss Kanna." Alfred
"Alfred Kanna doesn't speak English." Dick
"I see; We will just have to change that won't we." Alfred
Kanna, Dick, and Alfred went to the kitchen while Bruce fills out the adoption papers. They arrive in the kitchen. Kanna and Dick have a seat at the table while Alfred goes to prepare a late lunch. Dick says to Kanna.
"You are going to love Alfred's cooking. He makes the best food in the world. I have been around the world so I know." Dick
"Then I am glad that his food is the food I get to have my first time eating. I am also glad that I am hungry." Kanna
Kanna starts thinking of the previous day which makes her cry. Dick walks over to Kanna and says.
"Kanna I'm sorry please don't cry." Dick
Kanna gets down from her chair and hugs Dick still sobbing. Dick hugs Kanna comforting her as best as he can.
"You did nothing wrong Dick. I just can not get what that monster made me do out of my head. He made me hurt people. I can still see their faces they were so scared." Kanna
Bruce walks in having heard everything walks over to Kanna and Dick puts a hand on her shoulder and says.
"Kanna are those people you were forced to hurt fine now?" Bruce
"Yes Bruce they are." Kanna
"You are free of the monsters control are you not?" Bruce
"Yes he can never control me again." Kanna
"Then everything is going to be alright. I know you are hurting. Dick and I will always be here for you. Now dry those eyes and lets get something to eat." Bruce
Kanna looks from Dick to Bruce and back seeing love and determination on their faces drys her eyes and returns to her place at the table just as Alfred comes in the room with lunch. While they are eating Bruce thinks of what the future may bring and finds himself happy that he made the right decision.
After lunch Bruce looks at Kanna and says.
"I am going to teach you to speak English." Bruce
"Why?" Kanna
"So you can communicate with the people here. It is essential for starting a new life." Bruce
"I understand Bruce. When do we start?" Kanna
"Right now." Bruce
"Alright." Kanna
Bruce and Kanna leave the table and lock themselves in Bruce's study. Meanwhile Alfred and Dick are in the dining room staring at the door the two left through when Alfred says.
"What was that all about?" Alfred
"Bruce is going to teach Kanna to speak English." Dick
"That's one problem solved. Miss Kanna left her mirror behind. I'll take it to her room for her." Alfred
Alfred walks out of the dining room with the mirror headed in the direction of the bedrooms. Dick goes into the living room turns on the TV and says.
"I can't wait for Kanna's English lesson to be over." Dick
"Why is that Master Dick?" Alfred
"I now have a sister want to play with her." Dick
"Don't worry Master Dick. I'm sure they won't be to much longer." Alfred
Just as Alfred finishes saying that Bruce and Kanna walk into the living room. Kanna walks up to Dick and says.
"Do you want to go back to the park and play Dick?" Kanna
"Do I ever. Let's go." Dick
Dick and Kanna head for the door when Bruce says.
"Be careful Kanna. Dick look out for and protect your sister." Bruce
"Do I have permission to fight if I have to?" Dick
"If necessary yes just to keep Kanna safe, and have a good time." Bruce
"Yes Bruce." Dick
"We will thanks Bruce." Kanna
"Your welcome see you when you get back." Bruce
With that Kanna and Dick are out the door onto the streets of Gotham. After they leave Alfred asks.
"How was the lesson sir?" Alfred
"Extraordinary Alfred. She has complete verbal fluency. Tomorrow we will work on reading and writing." Bruce
"Clearly the young Miss has the potential to be a gifted academic." Alfred
"Just what I was thinking Alfred. I have some business to attend to at the office. See you later Alfred." Bruce
"Have a pleasant time at the office Master Bruce." Alfred
With that said Bruce walks out the door and heads to the office. While Dick and Kanna are on there way to he park Dick says to Kanna.
"So are those the only cloths you have?" Dick
"What is wrong with my cloths?" Kanna
"Nothing If you lived in some place safe like Central City, but here in Gotham you need to be able to run." Dick
"I can keep my kimono right?" Kanna
"Sure you can always wear it on formal occasions. Lets go to a nice store and pick out some clothes you like then go play." Dick
"Let's go." Kanna
When they make it to the store Kanna's eyes go wide and she says.
"Every thing looks so pretty. Thank you for suggesting it Dick." Kanna
"Alright pick some stuff out so we can go to the park." Dick
Kanna nods, and heads over to a wrack of cloths looking for something she likes. She picks out a sky blue short sleeve top with a cloud pattern, perfectly fitting black cotton pants, and the lady at the store helps her pick out undies of the proper size. Dick purchases the outfit; Then Kanna goes to the changing room and puts it on. When she returned to Dick she asks.
"Can I pick out a few more outfits before we leave. I find myself liking this clothing." Kanna
"Go ahead just don't get to much we're burning daylight here." Dick
"Thank you Dick." Kanna
Kanna walks over to Dick hugs him then goes over to the wrack to start looking. Half an hour and four bags of cloths later Dick and Kanna are checking out. After they leave the the store Dick says to Kanna.
"I'm impressed four shopping bags and not one trace of pink." Dick
"Pink is a stupid colour. If you want red why not buy red instead of some deluded substitute." Kanna
"I couldn't agree more. Now let's go play." Dick
"Right behind you." Kanna
The two make it to the park in record time. They put the shopping bags on a picnic table, and Kanna starts walking away when Dick says.
"How are we going to stop your cloths from being stolen." Dick
"Leave that to me." Kanna
Dick is about to say something when Kanna turns and faces the table holding her hands like she does when carrying her mirror. She starts glowing with a bright light where her mirror should be a large barrier surrounds the picnic table. Once the light fades Kanna turns to Dick and says.
"Finished. Now the only people who can get near the table are You, Me, Bruce, and Alfred. Anyone else who tries will get hurt. Can we go play now?" Kanna
"Sure; Race you to the Jungle gym." Dick
Kanna runs after Dick with a big smile on her face. Kanna is happier than she ever has been in her life. The two play for hours until Bruce comes to pick them up since it is getting late. Bruce walks up to his children and says.
"It's time to leave thought I'd pick you up because it's getting pretty late. What's that?" Bruce
"Kanna's idea of theft prevention." Dick
"Kanna?" Bruce
"Dick told me there was a possibility that someone will steal the cloths he bought for me. So I decided to use my powers to protect them." Kanna
"That's a little extreme just to protect some cloths." Bruce
Kanna hangs her head and says.
"No one has ever given me anything before; I just didn't want to lose them." Kanna
"So it's not the cloths it's the fact they are a gift from Dick. I see now come here and give me a hug. Alfred the bags." Bruce
Alfred collects the bags and puts them in the trunk of the car while Kanna runs up to Bruce and gives him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek; The smile never leaving her face. Bruce noticed the shield disappears as soon as Alfred is halfway to the car filing the information away for later while enjoying his daughters hug. Five minutes later the four are headed home. As soon as they are in the house Alfred heads to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Bruce turns to Dick and Kanna saying.
"This Saturday I'm hosting a charity fundraiser very formal think you can handle it?" Bruce
"Yes Bruce. We will be on our best behaviour." Kanna and Dick
"Good; Now lets go to the living room and you can tell me all about your day on the town." Bruce
After an hour of stories there is a knock at the door. Alfred opens it and says.
"Mr. Kent I'm afraid you will have to come back at a later date. Master Bruce is enjoying some family time at the moment and can't be disturbed." Alfred
"That is why I'm here. He is my friend. May I speak with him?" Clark
"Very well follow me." Alfred
"Thank you." Clark
The two make their way to the living room. They arrive to see Bruce sitting on the couch with two children. Clark recognizes Dick, but has no idea who the little girl is. Bruce walks up to him and says.
"Clark what brings you here at this hour." Bruce
"I wanted to talk to you. Privately." Clark
"Certainly. We can talk in my study. Dick dinner should be ready. Why don't you and your sister get started I'll join you when I finish talking with Clark." Bruce
"Yes Bruce." Dick
"Come on the grownups need to talk." Dick
Kanna nods and follows Dick into the dining room. Bruce and Clark go to Bruce's study. When the door closes Bruce says.
"What was so important that you couldn't wait till tomorrow to talk to me?" Bruce
"What were you thinking taking in some child off the streets?" Clark
"I was thinking that I couldn't stand by while a run away with a history of abuse lives on the streets. Bruce
"Run away. How far did she run? What kind of abuse are we talking here? Cause there is not a scratch on her." Clark
"You would not believe me if I told you how far she had to run to get away from that monster." Bruce
"Monster. What did he do to the kid?" Clark
"The worst kind of abuse possible. He robbed her of practically everything that makes her an individual. All that girl had was her mind; Aware of what was going on but powerless to stop it. All the while being used to further his nefarious purposes." Bruce
"Where did this happen? Cause I definitely would have heard if something that repugnant was going on." Clark
"Another dimension." Bruce
"I see that is a long way to run. Though given the circumstances I can't say that I blame her. What are you going to do If he comes looking for her?" Clark
"That's the thing I don't think he can." Bruce
"What makes you think that?" Clark
"Kanna's native language is a dialect of Japanese that hasn't been used for five hundred years. It's safe to say inter-dimensional travel beyond their capability." Bruce
"Then how did she get here?" Clark
"Kanna mentioned an act of God. I'm willing to bet that is how she ended up in Gotham." Bruce
"An act of God really Bruce. Are you sure. Cause that sounds..." Clark
"Unlikely. No other explanation fits the facts and I've gone over every one multiple times. I'm a detective not a cynic. Now if you'll excuse me my children and my dinner are waiting. Goodnight Clark Alfred will show you to the door." Bruce
Clark leaves without another word. After he is gone Bruce walks into the dining room over hearing a very interesting conversation between Kanna and Dick.
"I promise I won't tell Bruce." Kanna
"Good now we better start eating before anybody gets suspicious." Dick
"I want to wait for Bruce." Kanna
"The food looks delicious doesn't." Bruce
Kanna and Dick look at him with wide eyes and say.
"How long have you been there?" Kanna and Dick
"Not long." Bruce
Bruce sits down and starts eating. Kanna and Dick start shortly after with funny looks on their faces. They are definitely up to something. What ever it is will be funny. I'll just have to wait and see.
