Authors Note: No! The Tamaranien female was not Starfire. The female had Batman's baby when she was twenty so there's no way that could be Starfire. No this is not a Raven/Robin story but Raven will come into the picture much sooner then you think. And yes, the teen titans will come later. And so will the romance. But theres something special in this chapter especially for all the romantics.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters except for the girl who is telling the story. Who will still remain un-named. Oh, and I don't own Spongebob pyjamas either. But I wish I had a pair. Oh, then life would be grand.

The Black Butterfly

Chapter 2

Questions That Remain Unanswered

Beep Beep Beep! My early morning groan was muffled by the constant beeping of my alarm clock. I hit my alarm clock hard and the beeping suddenly stopped. I softly rubbed my eyes to get used to the blinding light that was shining through my open window"Thanks Alfred, thanks alot" I muttered as I got out of bed. He always did this to me. He did this to everyone. He held in his posession the most valued thing in the Wayne Mansion. No, not the Batmobile.The remote control. This control has control of everything in the house. It can lock doors, open them, turn on the oven, the alarm system, open the secret door to the Batcave and yes, open curtains. I put my hand up to the window pane and touched the cold glass. Dad was out in the garden talking on his phone. I quickly pulled the curtains shut, knowing that the minute I turned my back they would open again. I slowly made my way to the kitchen.

"And what would the young lady like for breakfast"

"Coffee Alfred, coffee" I told him as I collapsed onto one of the chairs.

A few moments later Alfred came out with a tray of bagels and a rather large pot of coffee.

"Relying on caffeine to get you through the chaos of Minature Golf" Richard asked me as he came downstairs.

"Ha ha, very funny. I've actually never played Minature Golf before but since our last trip to Tenpin Bowling turned out to be quite...amusing I am actually, very excited"

"You should be" Richard pointed out as he grabbed a bagel"Nice pyjamas by the way" He told me grinning from ear to ear.

I looked down at my Spongebob pyjamas and tried to hide my embarrassment"So, how's the crime fighting going" I asked him.

He ran his hands through his jet black hair. He always did that when he was nervous or didn't know what to say. "Quiet as usual" Was all he said.

I raised my eyebrow"Richard, you can tell me. I've gotten over the whole 'I can't be a superhero thing'"

He knew I was lying. He knew me too well. I could see the guilt in his eyes and I tried to ignore it"Be ready in an hour" He told me as he quickly raced upstairs.

"The whole superhero thing" Alfred asked.

I quickly gulped down my bagel"You know Alfred" I said without looking at him.

"Well, apparently I don't" He relpied.

"Come on Alfred. The whole, 'I have a daughter who has superpowers but I'm not going to train her I'll just train her two only friends"

Alfred raised an eyebrow then went back to the kitchen. I went to my room to get ready. Why did Alfred ask me that question? He was the one who bought me my costume. He had to know about the whole issue, otherwise he wouldn't of bought me it.

"Tartar sauce" I whispered to myself as I headed upstairs. (Spongebob people)

"Hurry up" Babs yelled for the fifteenth time.

"I'm coming" I yelled back as I slid down the staircase and joined her and Richard in the backseat of her BMW. Yes, it is her's, but she can't drive. Not legally anyway. She just likes to tell us she'll come pick us when she really can't. Richard tells her she's pathetic but she doesn't care.

"Whose driving" I asked.

"I am" Bruce Wayne told me as he got into the front seat.

An expression of pure disgust and confusion covered my face"Help" I whispered to Richard.

He shrugged his shoulders and leaned forward. He patted my father on his back and grinned"Come on P.U, lets be on our way"

My father sighed while rolling his yes"Well, this is going to be weird"

And 'weird' it was. The silence was completely awkward and unnerving. Not to add his choice of music and Richard's continuous laughter. Well Richard's laugh wasn't strange, it was sort of cute but that's not the idea.

"Were here" Bruce Wayne told us as he parked the car.

"Finally" Babs muttered under her breath.

When we got to the counter to pay for our tickets the man behind the register flushed a bright shade of red. The fact that the famous Bruce Wayne was standing right in front of him made him quite speechless.

"Three students, one adult please" Bruce Wayne asked him quite calmly. He was probably quite used to this.

The man insisted he carry our golf clubs and balls as we headed towards the first hole. Bruce Wayne insisted that we could carry them ourselves but the man insisted he was perfectly fine with it. Turns out he wasn't 'perfectly fine with it'. He was shaking so bad he looked like he was about to drop everything he was carrying. Luckily the first hole wasn't that far away and as soon as we got our equipment Bruce Wayne handed him a tip and he shuffled off into the distance looking quite pleased with himself.

"Want to go first" Richard asked me.

"Uh, I don't know how to play" I told him.

He grinned and made an effort to show me how. I felt like I was going to die as he put his arms around me and showed me how to hold the club. I seriously wanted the floor to swallow me up as everyone stared at us. Luckily (for him) he didn't realise.

"Got it" He asked me,

"I think she has" Babs giggled.

I quickly took a peek to see how my father reacted to this little display but he was acting like he didn't even notice. Babs on the otherhand was giggling like mad and I shot her a 'please stop it' look.

"Two! Crap thats pretty good for a beginner" Babs told me,

"Well she learnt from the best" Richard said smiling which quickly turned into a groan when Babs elbowed him in the stomach.

After we had gotten to the thirty fourth hole it was obvious that the competition was between my father and Richard.

I quickly looked at the score card. Bruce was on fourty five, Richard was on fourty six and me and Babs were both on sixty three.

"I suck" Babs complained as her golf ball missed the hole by, lets just say alot.

"Me too" I told her. Suddenly I felt something grab my bum and I spun around to find a thirty year old man with a bottle of beer in his hand.

"Back off jerk" Babs told him as she moved forward to hit him but I was too quick. I quickly did a move I had practiced off of a Kung Fu movie and the intoxicated man fell to the ground with a thud.

"Where on earth did you learn that" Richard asked me.

"Yeah, since when did Batman start training you" Babs asked me quietly but not quietly enough.

"He hasn't" Bruce Wayne told her as he moved forward. I stood my ground as he towered above me"Where the hell did you learn that" He asked quietly but sternly.

"I taught myself" I told him causing Richard and Babs eyes to widen.

"I told you never to do that" He said.

"No you didn't" I corrected him"You've never said a word to me about that or let alone anything. You just never trained me and expected me to sit alone at night and watch"

He just stood there and didn't say a single word. I couldn't even tell by the look on his face if he cared or not. He just stood there with a blank face, as usual.

"It's just to keep fit" I lied to him. Maybe he did believe me, I'll never know. I tried to ignore Richard and Babs faces as we drove home. They were comletely shocked at the skill I had. Maybe I could do more for all they know.

"Wow, that was...interesting" Richard told me when we got home.

"Yeah, I never expected you to be a Kung Fu expert" Babs said.

"I'm not. I can only do that move, nothing else" I lied.

I didn't want them to find out. I knew that would just laugh at me if they knew that my life long dream was to become a superhero. I didn't even think that Babs knew about my powers. I knew Richard knew because I told him last year but even he didn't know exactly what I could do.

"Oh, self defence, that would make sense" Babs told me unaware that I had just lied. Richard wasn't too sure. I could tell he knew something was up but I tried to ignore his stare.

"I'm gonna get a soda does anyone else want one" Babs asked.

"No thanks" I told her and Richard just shook his head.

"Self defence" Richard asked when she had left"Come on, you know you can tell me anything"

"There's nothing to tell" I told him.

"Okay, well do you want to go for a walk" He asked me. I was just about to say yes when my father opened the door. "Richard, you need to train" He said sternly without looking at me"Sorry" Richard told me as he followed Bruce Wayne into the distance. So that was it. Crime fighting always came first. Friends came second. Well I was going to show them. I stormed up to my room. I slammed the door and opened the box under my bed. I stared at the beautiful costume. I didn't care what was happening. I needed to go out and I needed to do something. I slowly stroked the material with my fingers and ran a finger through my hair. This was it. Tonight I was going to go and do something that I should of done a long time ago.

Authors Note: Ooooooooooo, I wondering what she's talking about.
