It's just another day on the Watchtower for me.

Yeah, I said Watchtower. I'm (still) a junior member of the Justice League. Probably should tell you a few things about myself, shouldn't I?

I'm Nori Kent. Right now I'm in my Ottergirl uniform. I have an I.Q. of 175 and I'm 16 years old. I was 12 when I got my high school diploma. I have considered taking college classes but, since work keeps me busy, that's easier said than done. Besides being a hero, I'm a junior reporter for the Daily Planet.

As for my family, well, there's my Pa, Clark Kent. He's a hero too. Yeah, he's Superman. Boy, that sounds almost nonchalant, doesn't it? Maybe it's because I'm used to it. Being a hero runs in my family, so there's that. My Aunt Linda, Linda Lee, that is, goes by Supergirl. My grandparents, Jonathan and Martha Kent, well, since my Pa said they're responsible for making him who he is, they're heroes to me. That's most likely due to the fact that my Mom put me through what can only be described as hell.

When I was 12, Pa found me with 4 broken ribs and a cut on each front limb. Those wounds were from her. Oh. I should probably go back and explain why I said front limb instead of arm. You see, I was in Otter form. While I'm in that form, my senses tend to be more acute. I have good senses as a girl too. Otterness and all.

Otterness is a word I made up. I have an otter's tail which is probably the main reason she hated me so much. Note the fact that I said hated. She's dead. I really don't like remembering her. More about myself...Oh.

I'm claustrophobic. Small spaces bring up really bad memories for me so, that's why I have it. It's not as bad as it used to be. I don't hyperventilate nearly as much as I used to. This will probably make sense but I like sushi, especially shrimp. I also really like being in water which definitely makes sense. I've said that it feels like home to me but, when I'm in Otter form, it feels even more like home. I'm also a big reader and writer. With an I.Q. as high as mine the fact that I like to read probably shouldn't come as much of a surprise.

As far is writing is considered, I keep a journal even though I don't find the time to write in it every day. Like I said before, work keeps me pretty busy. My favorite possession is a cockle shell that used to belong to my Father. I barely remember him so I think it's awesome having it. When I place it to my ear, for an unknown reason, I hear a message from him in Otter. I understand and speak that language fluently. So do Pa and Aunt Linda. That's definitely a good thing when you take into consideration it's all I can speak while I'm in Otter form. The fact the language comforts me is also a plus. It's O.K with me that my grandparents can't speak it because they're two of the nicest people I know. I may not know that many people but still.

As far as the matter of friends, there's Lois and Jimmy. Don't tell Lois that I like Jimmy better, O.K? Not only is he a good friend, he's also the first person I rescued as Ottergirl. Since he's a photographer, you can see how my uniform looks. You can also see the ocean blue and purple streak in my hair. That streak's become popular by the way. Ocean blue is my favorite color but, obviously, I wanted to add purple too.

I can't believe I almost forgot to mention the fact that my first friend is Flash. Perhaps I had other things on my mind. That's understandable right? However, he's not on the Watchtower right now.

Before you ask, no, I'm not alone on the the Watchtower. But over the P.A. system I hear a message that makes me worry and for good reason.

A green kryptonite alert.

Please don't say it's Pa. Please.

I look inside the Medbay and a nervous, scared, in Otter, whisper comes from me.

"[Pa are you alright?]"

I feel a hand on my shaking shoulder. I turn around to see...

Batman?
