Bruce slid the thumb drive into the bat computer, waiting patiently as the files were decoded. Wally was very impatient, tapping his foot at a speed that quickly became annoying. "Wally, why don't you and Dick go upstairs and get something to eat. If you call Barry and ask you're welcome to stay the night," Bruce offered.
"Sure thing! Come one Dick, Alfred's probably made something good!" The speedster ran up the stairs, towards the manor.
"What about the files?" I asked.
"They will take at least another half hour." I was surprised. Even League files took less than that.
"So how did it go?" The Dark Knight was simply asking about the mission, I reminded myself.
"Fine. She gave it to me without much trouble, not extremely difficult. But she knows. She knows about me and Wally, and probably about you. She said she hasn't told Lex though."
"Are you sure she knows?"
"She called me the boy wonder and apologised for punching Wally, then told me she knew. Yeah, I think she knows."
"And after you got it?"
"We both left."
"Why?" He knew. He knew I was hiding something. And I had learnt the hard way you shouldn't try to keep secrets from the world's great detective, especially if said detective happens to be your father.
"I think she likes me." I said simply. No need to add the details.
"And how do you feel about that?" How did I feel about that? I had no idea.
"I don't know."
"Dick, sit down. I think we should have a talk." And I ran out of that at a speed that rivalled Wally.

"So, are you gonna call her?" Wally sat sprawled out on the couch, throwing m&ms into the air and catching them in his mouth. We had been playing CoD, my superior gaming skills rendering K.F's super speed basically useless. "Yes. I mean no. I have no idea. Should I?"
"Yes, she's totally hot!"
"Her physical appearance doesn't give cause for me to call her."
"Dude, stop talking like that, you're thirteen."
"Exactly!"
"Call her or I will."
"No!" I felt like some teenaged girl for some bad reality show.
"If you two are done, master Bruce wishes to see you," the silent butler said from the doorway. Alfred had ninja skills that rivalled even Batman.
"What does he want?" Wally asked around another mouthful of the tiny chocolates.
"I'm unsure, but I think it has something to do with the files." That was all he needed to say. Dick ran and Wally jogged towards the entrance to the Batcave, turning the grandfather clock to 10:47 exactly, then continued their mad dash. "You got it?" I asked excitedly. This excited dropped as Bruce shook his head no. "But it's been two hours! You said it would take about half an hour!" Wally exclaimed. It seemed he was just as eager to know her secrets as I.
"It was... More difficult than I imagined. I'm nearly done, but it requires one more password, one that I can't hack past. It would be a lot easier if you just asked her for it." Bruce frowned. It was frustrating that, even after all this work, they still didn't have what they needed. "Ha! Now you have to call her!" Wally stuck his finger in my face wagging it ever so slightly. "Shut up." I still took out my phone and the paper, coping the number into the small device. I held it up the my face as it rung, Kid Flash and Batman silently waiting. She picked up after a few rings.
"Hey little birdie!" Her voice rang happily.
"Um, hey Kate."
"Took you long enough. You need the password hey?"
"How'd you know?"
"You wouldn't have called me this soon if you just wanted to talk." She was right, and I didn't know how to respond to that. "So what do I have to do to get the password?"
"I want to see the star of the greatest show on earth. That'd also be the password, Dickibird. Anyway, catch ya later!" And she hung up. I put the phone back in my pocket and walked over the the bat computer, typing away. The files unlocked.
"So what was it?" Wally asked as he skidded to a stop next to me.
"The Flying Graysons."

Kate's P.O.V.
I hung up and hastily put the phone back in my pocket as I heard my father of a sort coming towards my room. I picked up the book I had been reading before and opened it, taking the bookmark out and twisting it between my fingers. It was a habit I had when I was deep in thought, and would make my lie more convincing. The door creaked open and I stared at the book for several more seconds before sliding the bookmark back and shutting it. "Yes?" I said with slight annoyance, partly because he entered without knocking, but mostly because he cut my already brief talk with Dick short.
"We're leaving."
"To where?"
"Cadmus."

"What are we doing?" I asked as I walked into another large, empty room.
"We need to test something on you. It's perfectly safe, but it might be able to increase your powers so they surpass those of the Justice League." Oh goodie. Needles. I sat on the steel bench, noticing the straps attached to it. I wondered idly what else this room had been used for. A lady came in the a syringe asked for me to hold out my arm. I did as I was told, my eyes locking with my father as the metal slid in. I started to feel funny almost immediately. But I didn't feel more powerful, as Lex had said. In fact, I felt the complete opposite. My eyes closed without asking, and I felt myself falling to the waiting arms of Lex. I fought to keep my eyes opened. "You lied," I said, my voice slurring slightly.
"Yes, I did. But so did you. This serum will take away all your powers for about 24 hours. I'm surprised the shock didn't kill you actually. Now, you took some files. Where are they?"
"Go fuck yourself Lex. Not that'd you'd feel anything." I forced my eyes open, but still found myself unable to get up.
"Big talk for someone who can barely move. Talk and I won't take you to hell and back."
"Oh would you be so kind? I'm sure the guys there have missed me."
"Oh you are just so funny, you must have gotten your sense of humour from me."
"So long as that's the only thing I got from you." The man grabbed my hair, his tall frame allowing him to dangle me a good two feet above the floor. The pain shocked my body into working again, and I kicked out wildly. I managed to knock his other hand, which held a knife, and a grabbed it. Slicing my hair, I released myself from his grip. I now held the knife in my hand weakly, unsure how to proceed. Did I stay and attack, or run and risk being caught again? Lex chose for me, taking out a gun and shooting me where I stood. The cold bullet tore through my spine like it was nothing. If I had had my powers, I could've easily healed such a wound. But this fragile human body I now wore could not take it, and I felt myself fall to the ground. I couldn't feel below the gunshot wound, but the fire burning above it meant I couldn't simply forget about it. Lex stood over me, picking the knife up. "I will ask you one more time Katelyn. Who did you give the files to?" I moved my lips slightly, and the man I once called father kneeled beside me. "A little louder sweetie, that's a good girl." I spat into his eye, getting a frustrated groan in response.
"Do your worst!" I muttered through me teeth.
"And I thought you knew me so well. I guess you must have forgotten how much I hate to get my hands dirty." He then spoke towards the mirror that no doubt had a team of scientists on the other side. "You heard the lady. Do your worst." He straightened his tie and walked out, and at the same time a man came in with a box full of who knows what. He pulled out something that I didn't know the name of, but was so obviously a torture device. And then the screaming started.
