Chapter 6

Coming Out

The next morning, Kara was sitting at the table with her foster parents. They were having breakfast, Jonathan was having toast with an egg, Martha was having a bowl of porridge and Kara was having a bowl of cereal but the young woman wasn't eating, she just moved her spoon around in her bowl whilst she leant her head on her hand.

"Kara, is something wrong?" Martha asked in concern.

"Hm oh, nothing." Kara said.

"Are you sure?" Martha asked.

"If there's something you know you always tell us." Jonathan said.

Kara thought for a second and decided to tell them.

"Pa when you know you loved Ma, did you think it was just your imagination at first?"

"A little." Jonathan said as he dipped a slice of toast into the egg.

"How did you tell Ma that you loved her." Kara said.

"Why do you do ask?" Jonathan said.

"I um, I have a crush on someone." Kara said nervously.

"Oh, Kara that's wonderful." Martha said.

"Is it someone we know?" Jonathan asked, not wanting his adopted daughter to be dating some drug addict or abuse asshole.

"Yes." Kara said nervously.

"It isn't someone bad is it?"

Kara hesitated to tell them, scared about what they would say.

"Kara?" Martha asked in concern.

"Kara, who is it?" Jonathan asked in a stern tone.

Kara took a deep breath then spoke "It's...Barbara."

"Barbara Gordon?" Jonathan asked said in surprise.

Kara nodded her head. Jonathan and Martha looked at each other then turn to their foster daughter.

"Well I guess will be seeing Barbara a lot more." Martha said in a friendly tone.

Kara looked at them in shock "You're not mad?" she said in surprise.

"Why would we be?" Jonathan asked.

"Because she's a girl." Kara said.

"Does she sell drugs?" Jonathan asked.

"No." Kara said.

"Then she's alright in my books." Jonathan said.

"Kara, me and pa don't mind who your dating as long as your happy." Martha said.

Kara gave a small but brief smile.

"Thanks, Ma, thanks, Pa." the young woman said.

"So when are going to tell?" Martha asked.

"I don't think I should." Kara said.

"Why not?" Jonathan asked as he dipped another slice of toast into the egg.

"She already got a crush on someone else." Kara said.

"Well should still tell her about how you feel."

"But what if she doesn't want to be my friend anymore?" Kara asked.

"Well if she doesn't then you'll just move on, but I doubt Barbara is the kind of person to end a friendship over something petty." Martha said.

"I... I don't know if I should." Kara said.

"Kara, I know your scared so was I when I wanted to tell Martha in fact I almost didn't." Jonatha said.

"Really?" Kara said in surprise.

"Yes, I almost didn't tell her because I was scared that she won't say yes." Jonathan said.

"But Ma did say yes." Kara said.

"But Jon won't have know that usually he asked." Martha said.

Kara gave a smile. "Thanks, guys. I'm telling her tonight." Kara said.

"That's a wonderful idea." Martha said.

Kara smiled. Then she ate her breakfast, which had turned quite soggy.

As the evening sky looked over Gotham city Pamela Isley was working on her special dart and had almost completed it all that was left to do was test it to make it wouldn't kill anyone.

Whilst the redhead was working, Harley looked behind the curtain of her makeshift bedroom. Although she hadn't said it yet, Harley had developed feelings for Ivy, but unlike the redhead, Harley had by trying to start a relationship. She had tried to put it into conversations but she would chicken out or Ivy would change the subject before she could say it. Tonight she decided to bring out the big guns. She walked towards Ivy in nothing but her white underwear. Even though Ivy wasn't looking Harley walk seductively to the green skin woman just in case.

"Want ever your thinking don't." Ivy said, not bothering to look up thinking that Harley was going to pull a prank on her.

"I just want to watch." Harley said innocently.

"Why?" Ivy asked.

"Well there's nothing to do so I thought I could just watch, but if you don't I can just go flick pebbles at the wall." Harley said.

"You can watch but be quiet." Ivy said still expecting Harley to do something.

Harley sat on a wooden chair next to the table. The blonde waited for a few seconds then she lifted her right leg next to Pamela's face. Ivy's eyes widen and her expression turned to shock when she saw Harley's leg. Then the blond put her foot onto Ivy's cheek and moved the green-skinned woman's head to where she was sitting. Ivy's heart was going wild at the mere sight of her crush in her underwear with a seductive look in her eye. It took all of Ivy's willpower not to give in to her lust. Harley then slowly leaned over and put herself onto Ivy.

"What do think?" Harley said in a seductive voice.

"Harley I... I..." Ivy said. She wanted to confess her love but decided not to so that Harley would be safe. "... you're making me uncomfortable." she lied.

Harley looked at Ivy in with guilt as got off her and sat in a normal. "Sorry Red I was just..." She want to tell her but she couldn't. "... just trying to practice being seductive."

"It ok Harley. It was pretty good but I really need to focus on my work." Ivy said as she returned her attention to the dart.

Harley got up and walked back to her bedroom, as the blonde did Ivy slightly adjusted a small table mirror so that she could look at Harley's ass and let out a quiet sad sign.

Harley went into her bedroom and sat on the mattress that was her bed. Bud, one of Harley's hyenas came up to her with a newspaper in his mouth.

"Hey, Bud, who's my good boy?" Harley said petting the hyena as the feliformia dropped the paper onto the mattress then began to lick his master's face.

"Ok, ok I love you too, now let mummy read her paper." Harley said in a laugh. Then Bud left his mistress in peace. Harley then began to read the paper. She wasn't really into reading the big news of the city she usually just read the comics such as Garfield and the gossip columns about the latest rumours on a B list celebrity, however, as she flip through the pages to find them she found an article that a big named Acme was dumping chemical waste into a local river. After a quick read through Harley got off her bed and went to Ivy to tell her.

"Ivy." Harley said.

"Not now Harley." Ivy said still focusing on the dart.

"But I need to show you something." Harley said holding up the newspaper on the page with the article.

"Show me later." Ivy said.

"But it's really important and I really think you should look." Harley said in a serious tone.

Ivy signed and turned to look at Harley. "Alright, what so important that you..." she paused, got out of her chair and took the paper out of Harley's hands. She read through the article, an angry expression appeared on her face.

"Those corporate bastards!" Ivy said. "Harley get your outfit on we're going out." Ivy said as she went to get her dark green outfit. Harley smiled and quickly went to get her red and white outfit on.

Meanwhile, Jim Gordon was just about to leave for the evening. He put his coat on and gave his daughter one last hug.

"See you, tomorrow daddy." Barbara said as they ended their hug.

"Bye sweetie, I should be back at eleven." Jim said. Then he left his apartment. Once he got outside, where it was now under the night sky, he unlocked his car and was just about to drive off, when he saw Kara, who was wearing a white shirt, dark blue jeans and a black leather jacket, walking down the street.

"Evening Kara." Jim said.

"Evening Mr. Gordon is Barbara home?" Kara asked.

"She is. Well I've got to get going see you later Kara." Jim said. Then he drove off.

Kara entered the building to tell Barbara that she loved her.
