Powers Unmasked
Chapter 1
Bruce hated the fact that he had to send away Sydney to live at the institute but he knew its what his wife wanted for her daughter. Sid needed to be with someone that would help her with her powers. "You know what you have to stay here right." He asked looking down at the seven year old girl.
"I know. You need to be there for Gotham you can help them more then you can help me." She was smart enough to know that there was no way out. She was going to have to stay here even if she caused the biggest seen in the world. She knew that she needed to make this easier for her dad and Dick.
"I don't get why she can't just come home. How can strangers help more then we can." Dick asked. Sid became his best friend when Bruce and Dianna took him in after his parents died. If there was anyone to help her get over the loss of a parent it was him.
"Grayson this is going to happen no matter what just take it easy on my dad ok." Sydney whispered in his ear when she walked over and hugged the ten year old.
"It's hard I don't want to go home without you. You are my best friend." He whispered back.
"It was what my mom wanted if it wasn't we would be here right now." She confided in her friend. She hated that this was what her mother wanted but she knew not to question her reasoning. This was the best place to be incase her father ever came looking for her. Her mother would tell her that she was going to be stronger then her siblings and the professor would be able to protect her if anything ever happened.
"So you are going to go to a school where you are the only student?" Dick asked. to was obvious that Bruce was busy talk to the Professor.
"No jerk there is two other students here too."
"Wow I hope you don't get lost on the way to class with all those people in your way." Dick laughed.
"We only practice stuff with our powers here I'm supposed to go to real school to. Dad would have freaked if he thought that I was going to be home schooled. How long before you guys have to leave?" She asked.
"I think we are leaving in an hour." He said looking down.
The pair continued to talk about how things were going to be different from now on. They agreed that they were going to do everything that they could to stay close.
"It's time to go." Bruce said walking up to the kids. "I wish I could take you with me." He told Sydney as he hugged her. "I have everything straightened out with Professor Xavier you should feel at home here."
"This is where you need to be." Professor X said "let's get you inside and settled." He said after the limo carrying her family was no longer visible.
"If you feel that's best." She said walking about the stairs into the mansion.
