Thanks for all the reviews. Please keep them coming. And also I don't know the layout of Wayne Manor or Kent Farm so I just made stuff up. Thanks for reading, enjoy.

What to do

Once Kara was a sleep both men returned the unused supplies to the first aide kit and left the room. Once in the hallway Bruce was the first to speak. "I had heard that he had changed, I just had no idea it was this bad."

"He wants to regain the people's trust as soon as possible." Alfred said, "But it seems that he has forgotten that he needs to regain Kara's trust as well. We can't send her back there he'll kill her."

"I know," Bruce replied, "but it is one thing to remove an abused child from a home, it is quite another to remove Supergirl from Superman's care. What's more she does not even know she is being abused."

"Well," Alfred said, "it seems there is nothing more we can do tonight. I suggest that we all get some rest."

Bruce nodded, "Yes, going on patrol with her here probably is not the best idea."

"Do you think that he will come here?" Alfred asked.

"I'm not sure," Bruce answered, "I'll make sure the alarm is set but if he comes there is not a lot we can do."

"Well then unless there is anything else you require, I think I will retire for the evening."

"I have a few items I need to look over first," Bruce answered, "but I can handle it myself. Good night Alfred."

"Good night Master Bruce."

******

The next morning Kara woke up confused, disoriented, and weak. Her bedroom on the Kent farm was on the south side of the house so the sun was always shining in her room. This room, she guessed, was on the west side of the house and had little sun entering it. She noticed that at some point while she was sleeping Alfred had placed a change of clothes for her at the end of the bed. She grabbed them and slowly made her way to the bathroom. Once finished and changed she left the bathroom and found Bruce standing in the doorway waiting for her.

"Good morning, how are you this morning?" Bruce asked entering the room.

"Morning," Kara replied but as she took a step towards him she was hit by a wave of dizziness that caused her to start to sway.

"Whoa," Bruce said as he reached out and grabbed her.

"I need sun light," Kara replied.

"Sorry Kara," Bruce said picking her up in his arms and gently putting her down on the bed.

"Why not?" Kara cried, she felt miserable can could not understand why he was denying her the one thing that would help her feel better.

"It's raining," Bruce explained picking up the first aide kit and setting it on the table next to her bed. "The sun is hidden right now. Will you be okay for a few hours? It supposed to stop raining after lunch, but if you need the sun now I can drive you somewhere."

"I think I'll be alright for now," Kara replied. "The lack of sun will not kill me; it just makes me very weak and tired."

"Okay then," Bruce said sitting on the bed, "while we wait for Alfred to bring breakfast up for you, why don't we talk about what we are going to do next while I check your bandages, alright?"

Kara was apprehensive at first, but gave a quick nod.

"Kara," Bruce asked as he started to change her bandages, "what happened at the base?"

"What does that have to do with anything?" Kara snapped turning her face away from Bruce.

Bruce raised an eyebrow, where had that come from he wondered. "I'm just trying to figure out how this all started. I know that Clark was attacking the base before you showed up. Why weren't you with him?"

"Because I was not under the same mind control he was," Kara replied. "I was in school. When the principal made the announcement that Superman was attacking the teachers all turned on the TV to watch. I asked to go to the bathroom and snuck out. By the time I changed and arrived at the base the military had already constructed and fired some kind of short rang missile that scattered kryptonite was detonated. We were both hit and knocked to the ground."

"Then what happened?" Bruce asked.

"I don't know about Clark but they ran some tests on me."

"Tests, what kinds of tests?"

"I don't want to talk about it," Kara snapped again. "I want to go home."

"I can't let you do that," Bruce said as he finished changing the last bandage and put the supplies away. Most of her wounds had healed enough over night to no longer need a bandage. There were only a few injuries that still worried him.

"Why not?" Kara asked.

"Kara do you know what 'abuse' is?" Bruce asked as he pulled the covers back over Kara.

"That's when parents beat their kids, but what does that have to do with me?" Kara answered.

"Kara 'abuse' is the mistreatment of anything not just people." Bruce explained, "Kara, Clark has been abusing you. I can't let you return to him."

"No he is not," Kara yelled sitting up, "Clark loves me."

"I know he does child," Alfred said entering the room and setting a tray down. "But can you honestly tell me that you don't think there is something different about him."

"Different?" Kara asked confused.

"Before the attack you trained with Clark, right?" Alfred asked.

"Yeah, sure, whenever he came to visit," Kara answered.

"After those training sessions, how did you feel?" Alfred continued.

"Tried, sore," Kara replied.

"Were you covered in bruises and cuts?"

"I had some bruises and some cuts," Kara countered.

"But were you covered with them?" Alfred clarified.

"No," Kara conceded.

"Did he treat you injuries when training was done?"

"Yes," Kara answered.

"And what about after the attack? Has he done any of those things since the attack?"

"No," Kara whispered, "but once I get strong enough he won't have to because I wont be hurt. I just have to get stronger."

"Kara, this is not something you did wrong." Bruce said taking her hand, "Clark is the one who is wrong. He should be helping you build your strength up not just knocking you down."

"I must be doing something wrong," Kara replied, "other wise…"

"No, Kara," Bruce interrupted, "you did nothing wrong. You are not the one to blame for this, do you understand?"

Kara shook her head and started to cry, "He kept telling me to fight back, if I had done that right none of this would have happened."

Bruce did not say anything but gathered the sobbing girl in his arms. "It's okay," he whispered, "it's going to be okay."

"What's going to happen to me?" Kara finally asked pulling away from Bruce.

"You're going to stay here for a while," Bruce answered. "I'm going to go talk to Clark and you are going to stay here with Alfred and rest. Okay?"

"I don't want you hurt," Kara answered.

"I won't be," Bruce said letting go of her and standing up. "Now you stay here and eat the breakfast that Alfred as prepared for you and then get some rest understand."

"Yes," Kara replied as Alfred placed the tray of food in front of her.

"Good," Bruce said, "Alfred I need to talk to you for a moment in the hall."

"Yes, of course."

Once they were in the hall and the door closed Bruce spoke, "Keep an eye on her, and as soon as the rain lets up get her to a room with sun."

"Yes sir and where will you be going."

"To Smallville, I made some calls last night and called in a few favors. I have custody and adoption papers for Kara. All Clark needs to do is sign them."

"You're going to adopt Kara?"

"If the situation is bad enough yes."

"Well then good luck and be safe."

"I will. Good bye, Alfred."

I have the next chapter almost finished just need some reviews to help me finish and post it.
