A\N: Hi guys! How's everything going? I hope its good. And if isn't, then don't worry. After reading this chapter you'll totes feel great :D
"Wakie, wakie..."
Groaning, Kate forced her eyes to open. The first thing she saw was a pair of apple-green eyes, hovering above her. Very soon, she began to fully visualize the person standing beside where she lay.
She was sure she only saw Jason in her dreams. But he was only sixteen when he died, she imagined him being older. However, he was completely different, with his face more mature and his green eyes a little dull, like he had been miserable for years. Still, she found him amazing to dream about.
She liked seeing him in her dreams.
She would usually sleep down stairs on the couch, away from Blake so she could dream about him. And damn, she loved it when she would wake up, gasping his name with her hands and face dripping with sweat.
"Jason?" Kate questioned meekly.
The young man grinned, "Yeah." He cocked his head, giving her a worried look. "How're you feeling?"
The blonde reached out to him, still feeling her head ache where Alfred had hit her. Jason smiled, taking her hand and helping her into a sitting position. Sitting on the warm mattress, she lazily observed her surroundings. Seeing the cell door made her realize that she was locked up here all night.
"What happened?" Kate mumbled, bringing her hand up to her temple.
Jason laughed, "Well, you did something really stupid last night-"
She cut him short, bolting out of bed and running to the door. What made her almost cry, was when her wrist was forcefully grabbed and she was thrown back on to the bed. She tried getting back up on her feet, giving a small shriek as she was pinned down by him.
"You are such an idiot," Jason glared at her, pinning her firmly on the bed.
Kate tried kicking him off but she couldn't even move a muscle under his heavy weight. The green-eyed man smirked at her, "If I weren't suppose to stop you, then I would've been so turned on right now."
Her heart began pounding in her chest, cheeks flaring red. She wanted to tell him that she would feel the same too, if she was not trying to escape.
She hated 'ifs'.
Seeing that she was now relaxed, Jason carefully pushed himself off her. He eyed her for a while, studying how she swung her legs down the bed and looked at him with her face hot and chest heaving.
He reached to his side before placing some simple clothes beside her. "We're not gonna take you anywhere in your PJs." Jason said, walking over to the bat cell's door and opening it. Looking back, he smiled. "Get dressed. Kay?"
"Where are you gonna take me?"
Jason smirked, his eyes emerald eyes matching her sky blue ones.
"It's a surprise."

Kate had no idea what the computerized voice had just said. She was too busy fiddling with the metal handcuffs that were strapped onto her wrists.
A blindfold was wrapped around her eyes, making her see nothing but darkness. Though, her ears could still pick up voices as her brain tried to record them in her memory.
"Contact Miss. Martian." Batman said grimly, his hand firmly clasped onto the blonde's arm.
Nightwing answered with a nod, walking away to find the Martian girl.
Kate decided to let her thoughts out, "Where the hell are you taking me?!" She demanded angrily, stopping in her tracks.
Red Robin was the first to speak, "There's nothing we'll do to harm you," He assured, "Just come with us,"
Bitter words were going to leave her mouth when her arm was forcefully grabbed and she was being dragged to somewhere she had no idea of.
"It's not gonna hurt her, is it?"
Part of her wanted to smile at Red Hood's care for her and part of her wanted to scream what they were going to do with her.
"I think we shall come to do know when she passes through it." She was ninety-nine point nine percent sure that was Damian.
A breeze passed by, startling the blonde.
"Uh… who is she?" It was a completely different voice; a bit high-pitched as well as impulsive.
She heard Damian growl, "Mind your own business, Allen."
Kid Flash crossed his arms over his chest, "I didn't ask you, Mr. Dark and Serious." He glared down at the younger boy.
He turned to the other batfamily members, "Who is she?" The second Kid Flash looked up at the blindfolded girl before arching a red eyebrow and placing his hands on his hips, "And why is she blindfolded?"
Robin was about to tell him to shut up when the speedster cut him off, "And furthermore, what is she doing in the watchtower?" Kid Flash asked loudly.
Raising an eyebrow when Red Robin face palmed and Batman scowled, he parted his lips to ask why everyone was so in the mode when the blonde finally said something.
"I'm in the watchtower?" Kate marveled, highly surprised.
Red Hood sighed before frowning, "Knew we should've kept her unconscious." He mumbled, not catching the small frown that framed Kate's face.
Batman was Bruce Wayne. Well Kate, you sure made a discovery, didn't you? Can you see someone bringing you an award? No? Well then let me tell you something, curiosity kills the cat! And you're few minutes away from getting killed.
Kate didn't particularly enjoy the internal battles she had with her sometimes. The battle she was fighting now was a lot harder.
She was currently sitting on a chair, with her hands tied with it. When the blindfold had been pulled away from her eyes, she found herself in a creamy white room with a matching white metal door as well as a rectangular window from which she could see nothing.
Kate doubted it. She couldn't see but the people standing behind it could see everything.
She eyed the empty wooden chair infront of her whilst thinking of ways to escape. Though, her eyes stretched wide when a figure phased through the door and walked towards her.
A hood hung loosely over its forehead, hiding the person's features. Slowly, green hands reached up to the sides of the hood, pulling it down to reveal a pretty young woman with short red hair and emerald-green skin.
Though, when their gazes met, it took Kate a few seconds to imagine the green-skinned girl with Caucasian white skin.
"M-Megan?!" Kate stuttered, remembering her from the office.
Miss. Martian shot her a surprised look, amber eyes wide. "Kate?" She stared at her, "What're you doing here?" She inquired, brows furrowing.
Kate worriedly looked up at the Martian girl who stared at the window, her frown growing deeper and deeper. Giving out a deep breath, Miss. Martian smiled softly at her.
The red-head smiled uneasily, sitting infront of the blonde. "Now, Kate." She said calmly. "I'm gonna enter your mind and—"
"You're gonna do what?!"
Miss. Martian bit her lip, "It just needs to be done. But don't worry," She smiled, straightening up in her seat. "I'm not gonna hurt you." The Martian told her, hoping for a positive response.
The response was not positive. "You can't do that!" Kate yelled, heart beat quickening. She snapped her head at the window, "If you think you're gonna erase my memory, then you're wrong!" She barked.
Looking back at Miss. Martian Kate began, "Look, you can't go inside my mind." Her voice was shaky, "It—It…" She inhaled a deep breath and closed her eyes before opening them again and frowning, "It isn't a good place." The blonde warned, eyes settled on the other female.
"It isn't like I'm gonna tell anyone about their secrets." She forced a smile, thinking it'll help her out, "I just wanna leave with my brother."
Her teeth gritted together as Miss. Martian smiled softly, bringing her hands up to her temples.
A force.
Kate could feel a force exerting pressure on her head, making it hard to breathe but she fought it, mentally pushing it away.
Miss. Martian seemed a bit unhappy about that, frowning and just when she did, the force got stronger this time, making the blonde give out a small gasp.
Eyes now glittering a lovely green, Miss. Martian told her softly. "It'll only hurt if you try to resist it."
And Kate tried her best to resist it. Unfortunately, her efforts were all in vain.
Miss. Martian's eyebrows knitted together as she stared at the scene infront of her with eyes as wide as dinner plates.
Everything was black. So black that she had to use a lot of power and create a ball of small green energy that provided her enough light to see in the dark.
That's when the glass shards came into view, floating around the empty darkness. Pictures could be seen playing on them, most of them having a certain blonde which M'gann knew was none other than Kate herself.
Miss. Martian bit her bottom lip, flying further. Her eyes searched for the memory Batman had told her get rid of. She was still looking for it when her gaze landed on a shadow.
Lowering herself to the ground, the emerald-skinned moved closer to the shadow, her left hand signaling for the ball of light to move closer.
There was a small whisper, "Get out,"
As the light fell on the shadow, a figure began to form. It had ears, pointed like needles, black bat wings trickling with blood and a spiked tail, swishing back and forth like a snake.
A small gasp escaped her lips as the thing turned to look at her with its crimson red eyes, "Get out." It growled, tongue rolling out from its mouth and resting on its swollen lips.
Its teeth looked like they could shred a man to pieces, "Get out of here." It took a step towards her and as a reaction, she backed away from it.
Fire balls began flickering over its palms, "Get out!" It roared before pouncing on her.
Batman narrowed his eyes when he saw Miss. Martian give out a painful gasp, clutching her head. They narrowed even more when Kate leaned a bit out of her chair, breathing heavily.
The blonde took in a deep inhale. And then she screamed.
The scream being so intense that Superboy who was standing beside him, had to cup his ears with his hands whilst gritting his teeth together. Though, when the Kryptonian's eyes landed on Miss. Martian and the pain written all over her face, he forgot all about how much his ears were hurting.
"M'gann!" He hissed, bolting out of the room and heading to the Martian's aid.
Kate grunted, snapping her head at Miss. Martian and growled, "Get out." Her voice was so deep, "Get out!" Blue eyes flashed red for a second, "I said, get out of my head!" She shrieked in anger.
The red-head felt chills run down her spine as an invisible force thrashed between the room before slamming them both against the wall. She thought it was a sudden reaction of her powers that panicked when she saw the horrific creature. Nonetheless, being slammed against a wall still hurt.
The door flung open, Superboy racing inside the room, "Mg'ann!" He yelled, kneeling down beside the Martian girl and giving her support as low moans escaped her lips.
Kate lay on the other side of the room, whimpering and catching her breath. Her wrists had begun to hurt because of her constant tugging on the handcuffs.
Her eyes snapped open when she heard something click. Cocking her head to her hands, she pulled them to her chest as Nightwing offered her a friendly smile. "Are you hurt?" He asked, helping her up on her feet.
She gave him a stern glance, rubbing her wrists. Though, when she saw Miss. Martian's who now stood beside Superboy, smiling at him and telling him that she was alright, anger rushed through her.
In a flash, the blonde's tight fist had buried itself on the emerald-skinned girl cheek, causing her to tumble backwards and fall on her back, her green hands cupping her face.
"Don't ever do that again!" Kate screamed, infuriated.
Superboy snapped his head to her, enraged. "How dare you hit Megan!" He roared, grabbing her arm and throwing her onto the glass window.
Kate squeezed her eyes shut as her body broke through the glass and she landed on the other side, small glass shards piercing the upper layer of her skin.
"She isn't normal."
Batman replayed Megan's words in his mind. Her telling him that, Kate wasn't a human. She said that she saw some very bizarre things when she entered her brain, especially a strange beast with eyes as red as blood. He had assumed Miss. Martian was tired and had 'daydreamed' while entering the blonde's mind.
But just incase, he had taken a blood sample of Kate and send it to the Watchtower's laboratory to be tested. The results came out perfectly normal. But for some strange reason, this all seemed so sickly déjà vu.
The dark knight had informed Superman about Superboy's raising anger issues and how he had used his kryptonian powers on a mere human. Honestly, the caped crusader had not expected Kate to survive from the glass crash. Somehow she had managed to live, with numerous cuts scattered all over her body.
She was treated in the Watchtower's medical bay. She had also been unconscious for about five hours. Though, when gaining consciousness, she demanded to be taken back. And since they had come back, she had stormed off, not even bothering to talk to him or his sons.
Her attitude was not something he liked.
Bruce Wayne glared as Kate walked down the stairs of the manor, her hand clasped with her brother's, confusion written all over his face.
He scowled when she paced to the manor's door. Stepping infront of her, he gave her his infamous batglare. The blonde didn't even flinch.
"Where are you going?" Bruce growled, his steely blue eyes settled on her.
Kate resisted the urge to cut his tongue out, "We're leaving." She snapped.
Her knowing their alter egos would prove very risky for him. Batman did not take risks and neither did Bruce Wayne. "You are not going anywhere." He deadpanned, glaring down at her.
The blonde's face scrunched up into a snarl, "Oh yeah? Watch me!" She took a daring step forward and in return, Bruce's glare hardened even more.
"Whoa, Kate." Dick tossed her a friendly smile, hoping it would make the situation better. "Relax. Will ya?" He said, standing beside his ex-mentor.
She glared at him.
"Let's just sit down and try to—"
She cut him short. "I don't need to sit down and talk, Dick!" Kate scowled.
"What happened to Mr. Grayson?" Dick mumbled under his breath.
Bruce repeated his sentence, "You are not going anywhere." He said solemnly, "You shall now stay here in the Manor." He would force her if she wouldn't.
Kate barked, "I'm not your property, you idiot!" It was so hard to resist not to kill him, right there and then.
"Do not talk to Father like that," Damian scowled, entering the large room along with Jason who held a half eaten sandwhich in his hand. He didn't look much amused by the situation.
The blonde snarled, "Shut it, pip-squeak."
Damian gave her an icy glare, fists tightening so much, his knuckles turned white. He was about to yell death threats when Tim beat him to it. "Look, Kate. I know this is—"
"Just shut up!" She yelled in anger.
Whipping her head back to Bruce, Kate deadpanned. "Get out of my way or else…" She threatened, blood pumping through her arteries.
Her teeth gritted together in anger as the four boys glared at her. She knew she couldn't beat them all but Bloodlust could rip their bodies apart and bury them deep into the ground and watch their bones rot away.
"Kate, let go!" Blake squeaked, releasing her hold from him hand. "What happened?" He looked at them all, thinking why the tension in the room was so thick.
"Let's go, Blake." His sister growled, eyes fixed on the others.
His answer shocked her. "I don't wanna leave."
She blinked, looking down at him before frowning. "We're leaving, Blake. Come on." A scowl graced his features when the younger boy inched away from her.
"I like it here." He managed to say.
Kate glared. "Come on, Blake."
"No."
She stared. "What did you just say?" She asked as if she had misheard him.
Gaining up courage, Blake managed to utter. "No."
A loud thwack filled the air, making Damian murderously glare at the blonde. Blake placed a hand on his flaring cheek, tears rolling up in his eyes as he looked up at his sister who had steam erupting out from her ears.
"How the hell can you say that?!" She yelled at him, causing him to flinch. However, her anger melted away when he sniffed and yelled back at her. "I hate you!" He sobbed, running back to the stairs.
It took Kate a second to realize what she had done. "Blake!" She yelled worriedly, pacing after her brother. "I'm sorry!" Suddenly she stopped, whipping her head back at Bruce.
"This is all your fault!" She snapped before running after the weeping boy.
Bruce frowned. She was right. Everything was all his fault and he hated himself for it.
A\N: Did you like it? Did ya?! I'm not doing a spell check since I'm kinda dozing off right now so don't mind the grammar mistakes. I'll fix them later.
