Batgirl/Supergirl:
Perfect Pairing
Chapter Two: Getting to know you

---------------------------------
JLA Headquarters, The Moon: 3:00 P.M.
---------------------------------

Kara sat down at a table all by her lonesome. Being new sucked. Especially in a league full of super heroes that you knew had more experience then you. She nursed her cup of coffee and looked a her reflection in the white table.

"Evening..."

Kara looked up, a look of surprise filled her face, "You."

"Yes." Batgirl said.

"What're you doing here?" She asked.

"Getting to know you." Batgirl said taking off her mask.

Kara gave her a confused glance, "Um okay..."

Cassandra leaned over the table studied her features, reading her like a book. She looked past the confusion on the statement she'd made, truth never was taken easily. She could see she was holding something back and it wormed around in her like some hateful thing that made herself back.

"So what happened?" Cassandra asked.

"Huh?" Kara said looking at her.

"What event is making you hold yourself back?" Cassandra said being straightforward.

Kara was some what shocked and amazed but still a wee bit confused, "Why do you think I'm holding back."

"I can..." She paused "see it." Cassandra said.

Kara's curiosity was stroked, "You're a normal human, how can you see if I'm holding back?"

"Easy, your eyes give it away, the blue is a darker shade... signifying sadness or... regret." Cassandra answered.

"And how can you tell?" Kara asked thinking she reversed the conversation.

Cassandra narrowed her eyes, "I just can. Now tell me what happened."

Kara was slightly put off by the direct and semi-rude tone, "I did something."

"Uh huh." Cassandra coaxed.

"Alright you want to know? Do you?" Kara said getting fed up with the game, "I was played by Darkseid to fight Superman, he practically made me a slave."

Cassandra wasn't phased, "Happens to the best of us." She remarked.

Kara folded her arms, "You know if we're going to be working together... you might want to be a little more polite. Now, I've noticed you stop sometimes when you speak, on top of being able to read my look, I want to know how you got this way."

Cassandra waited a second prepping an answer, "Well, I'll answer your question, you answered mine. My father... a mercenary named David Cain, wanted to make the perfect assassin. He got me, I wasn't taught to speak with a tongue, I was taught to speak with violence." She again paused, "He trained me to read body language rather then books, I never... developed any method of speaking till after I was in Gotham City wearing a costume."

"And how did that happen?" Kara asked, now rather hooked on this little biography.

"A wandering telepath decided to chat in my head and turned on my language center." Cassandra answered, "I might have been able to talk, but I lost my ability to read people. It took a year and a beating from the best Martial Artists in the world to get it back..."

"That must've sucked." Kara commented.

Cassandra nodded, deep down it was nice to actually get that off her chest for once, she actually was beginning to like her, she seemed alright enough but she never let go of a bit of caution.

"So how can I help?" Kara said before taking a sip of coffee.

"How quickly did you learn English?" Cassandra asked.

"One month, why?" Kara answered like it was easy.

Cassandra stared blankly, "One month..." Kara nodded, "I hate to ask but please... teach me. When I try talking... openly with people, I feel... left out."

"I know that feeling." Kara said looking over her shoulder, "Tell you what, if I teach you English, what will you help me with?"

"A Deal?" Cassandra asked, "Let me see you spar."

A odd thing to ask but none the less Kara put the cup in the sink and the two walked around the HQ till they found the training room. It looked like an endless hall full of gym equipment, punching bags, speed bags. All those gym franchises couldn't compare to this place, nothing held a candle. Cassandra not the slightest bit overwhelmed walked over to a punching bag and patted it.

"Give this a couple of swings." Cassandra said standing back.

Kara still not totally understanding the request threw a punch that almost knocked the bag off the chain had it not been made of Adamantium or some sort of metal.

"Alright, That punch was terrible." Cassandra said steadying the bag, she motioned for Kara to stand back.

It seemed like a blur to anyone even bothering to look when Cassandra threw a punch. The strike punctured the bad like a bullet to a sand bag. The bag stay still as the contents spilled out onto the floor. Kara blinked, she'd given it a pretty good hit, hard enough to stop a train at least but Cassandra, she had real talent alright.

"I think we've a deal." Kara said looking at the bag.

Cassandra removed her fist from the bag and dusted off her fist. She didn't intend to go through the bag but none the less it got the point across so the end justified the means.
---------------------------------
JLA Headquarters, The Moon: 3:47 P.M.
---------------------------------
The Green Arrow stood in awe as girl clad in black tights put her fist through the bag like it was butter where as Supergirl just knocked it around. He'd see only a few bags broken before but not with a single punch especially at that speed and power, in all his time up here, working with the league he'd never even see this girl before, she was damn good though, probably a meta human by right. He wasn't the first on looker to watch the two practice and he certainly wasn't the last one either.

JLA Headquarters, The Moon: 5:30 P.M.

Batgirl sat quietly in the library, Supergirl in a seat next to her. She was reading a rather fat book and struggling to get the words out. She set the book down and sighed.

"Hey, it's okay, no one learns quickly, at least you've got a start." Kara said complimenting her.

"Easy for you to say." Cassandra answered dully.

"Oh get off it, for a rock hard fighter you seemed to get discouraged quickly." Kara answered.

Cassandra sighed again, "It'd be easier if I could just practice speech? You know, like talking one on one with people?"

Kara smiled oddly, "I think I got the perfect idea." Now it was Cassandra's turn to be totally and utterly confused.
