I don't own any of the DC Universe, which includes Batman Beyond. Julia is
my creation though.
Broken Glass and the New Girl
Terry stared at the girl in the tank. She had on a skintight white shirt and some shorts. 'Okay,' he Terry thought to himself, trying to make reason of what just happened. 'I know that I have been punched in the head a lot, but I swear that I just heard a voice in my head that wasn't mine.' He looked at Wayne and then heard Wayne's voice in his head. Calm down McGinnis. You're not going crazy.
Terry was shocked. 'Man, all that time in the Bat Cave must have gotten to me. Is Wayne telepathic?' He looked over to Mr. Penit, but he was busy working at his computers.
To answer your question, Wayne's voice in Terry's head was saying, No, I am not telepathic. Julia however is and she is extending this link to you and I so we can have a conversation with out Mr. Penit interrupting. If you want to say something, just think it.
Terry just stared at Wayne, and then to the girl in the tank. So, Terry thought, joining the conversation. You are telepathic.
Well Wayne, Julia added, You sure can pick them. But then again, Tim and Barb also said the same thing way back when. Actually Terry, I am telepathic and telekinetic.
Terry was amazed that they were just thinking this whole conversation. He tried thinking to himself that she was really pretty, but...
Heard that, Julia thought to Terry.
Terry started blushing, but he couldn't help thinking it. She had clear blue eyes and black hair that went a little past her elbows. He couldn't really tell due to the green color of the tank, but her skin looked tan.
So, is this the new Batman that I have heard so much about? Julia thought to the two of them.
Yes he is. Almost four months now, Wayne thought.
So, Julia thought, looking to Terry. How is it?
Oh, it is pretty good. Terry answered absently. He was looking at the tubes on Julia's back. They were filling with black substance.
Wayne... Julia thought. He... he's pumping something into me! He wants to keep me here! Make him stop!
"Mr. Penit," Wayne said, walking over to where he was working. "What is happening to her?"
Terry was watching Julia. She had been floating in the tank, but now she was at the bottom, holding her head. He could tell that she was in pain. 'Wayne,' Terry thought. 'Damn, the link is gone.' "Wayne!"
"It is just a precaution Mr. Wayne," Mr. Penit said. "To make sure that she is okay when she comes out. She has been in that tank for a long time and I don't know how she is going to react to the Gotham air as it is now."
He's lying Wayne! Terry heard Julia's 'voice'. It hurts...hurts so bad... Terry... move... from... the ... tank...now!
Terry wasted no time and stepped back a few paces from the tank. Julia opened her eyes and Terry noticed that the water and the tank seemed to be vibrating. A huge crack streamed down the tank and then it exploded. Pieces flew everywhere. One was about to hit Terry, but it stopped in mid air and then dropped to the ground. The liquid went everywhere and Julia hit the floor.
Terry went over to her side and pulled the tubes out of her back. "Hey," he said, gently shaking her. "Hey, wake up."
Julia gradually opened her eyes. "Thanks," she said. Terry helped her to get up.
'Her voice is exactly like her thoughts,' Terry thought to himself. 'Smooth and very relaxing.' Terry took off his jacket and put it on Julia. She smiled and looked over to Wayne and Mr. Penit.
"Sorry about the glass Mr. Penit," Wayne said calmly, "but we will be leaving now." Wayne started to walk over to Terry and Julia but Mr. Penit's voice stopped him.
"You can't possibly take her with you Mr. Wayne," Mr. Penit said. "Especially after what you just saw."
'He was planning to take her with him?' Terry thought. 'Maybe that is why he had me go get girls clothes.'
"You remember what the deal was Mr. Penit," Wayne answered, keeping his cool. He looked to Julia and Terry. "Shall we then?"
They all stared to walk to the elevator but Julia turned around and glared at Mr. Penit. "Send my regards to the staff Richard."
After walking out of the building and into Wayne's car, they were finally on their way back to Wayne's mansion.
"Ah...," Julia sighed. "It feels so good to be out of that tank. Thank you both." She turned to Wayne. "What are you going to do with me? You know that 2nd Rebirth is going to want me back."
"Well, first, we have to make it public that you are my adopted daughter. That will be a feat within itself," Wayne answered. "Secondly, there is something that I want to show the both of you when we get back to the manor."
Terry looked into the rear view mirror to see Wayne. He sighed and then looked back at the road. Julia studied Wayne's face, but didn't go into his mind. She had already done that once and it was a nightmare. She was surprised how different he acted compared to the way he thought. 'Then again,' she thought, 'Batman usually acted the way he thought.'
When they got into Wayne's house, they were greeted by Ace. "How you doing Batdog?" Terry asked as he rubbed Ace's head.
"So what are you going to show us?" Julia asked Wayne.
Wayne went over to the old Grandfather clock and touched it. It opened slowly, revealing a long narrow staircase. "It is down here."
Terry and Julia followed Wayne down the stairs. On his table, there was a suit that looked like Terry's, but the bat on it wasn't red. It was yellow.
"Hey," Terry said. "Did you change my suit?"
"No," Wayne answered. "Your suit is over there." He pointed to a long row of glass cases that held various suits that had been used by others throughout the years. "This is her suit. Terry, say hello to your new partner Julia, also known as Batgirl."
Okay, sorry bout the time it took to update. Having issues with my family. Cough Cough bad grades Cough Cough. Well I finally did update it. Thanks for the reviews, but as always, please review.
