Disclaimer: I do not own any characters made by DC Comics, this includes Batman, Superman and their respected families as well. As for any characters not in the DC Universe, there probably mine.

Author's Note: Alright, I'm good and tired of Continuity, this is strictly stories that focus on the characters, getting continuity involved only dilutes the two of them as friends.

Batgirl/Supergirl:
Chapter Four: Finding a Home

The Justice League didn't really believe them when they said that there was a leak in the JLA. They just patted them on the back and told them they'd look into it. Cassandra didn't have to know they were lying through their teeth to them. She shrugged them off and let it go. It wouldn't be a big secret for long anyway.

5 weeks later…

"Shoot her for Christ sake!" he shouted.

"I did!" The other cried out, "it's like she's bulletproof!"

"The bats aren't bulletproof alright!" The first one cried out in panic.

A batarang dug itself into the guys' back. He hit the alley floor and slid into a puddle. The other looked around in fear and caught a glimpse of the Bat before it struck him in the face with its foot. He stumbled backwards; a flurry seemed to batter his face and ribs till he hit the ground on his back.

Cassandra looked down at the two lying in the gutters and took a breath. They'd run for three blocks straight, and before that they'd fired on her, luckily Kara was quick enough on the draw to jump in front and take the shots before they tore Cassandra apart.

"You need to teach me how to do that."

Cassandra turned around looked at Kara who was standing in the alley, "You mean beating this one around like a punching bag?" Cass remarked.

"Something like that." Kara replied and walked past her and lifted up the two thugs and threw them over her shoulder like sacks and took to the air.

"I'll meet you at the north water front." Cassandra answered and chucked at line out.

With a yank, she took to the rooftops and started through the streets of bludhaven like a black and deadly hawk rising over the abysmal streets that reeked of pain and suffering. Another line shot out and hooked the corner; Cass hung left on main, 100 feet above the actual street. Another couple hundred yards later, she glides down to the pier and lands, her cape engulfing her.

Kara leans on the busted old railing and smiles. Cassandra pulled off her mask and walked over and leaned back on it.

"We need a place to get away from everyone…" Cassandra remarked.

"What do you mean?" Kara answered, "Like going over to the Titans or Paradise Island?"

"No, I mean like a Batcave or a Fortress of Solitude or an apartment of Justice. I don't know." Cass said trying to think.

"True, I wouldn't mind actually getting away from Superman and Batman every once in a while."

"zzz Cassandra?"

"Yes?" Cassandra replied putting her hand to her ear, "I need you at the cave." Batman asked.

"Think you can drop me off at the Cave?" Cassandra asked pulling her mask back on.

"Yeah sure. Promise not to scream in excitement this time?"

Cassandra shrugged, Kara shrugged back. Cassandra jumped on her back and the two of them took off into the night sky. The sonic boom signaled Cassandra's arrival. She did her best and didn't scream, but her ears and eyes hurt none the less.

"Thanks Kara."

Kara, zoomed off out of the cave and out to the real world leaving Cass standing on the platform. Batman approached on her like a wraith.

"I still have no idea why Superman would want to pair you two together." Batman thought, "We have people held up in an office and Robin's off on another assignment."

The two of them flew over the roof tops towards a small factory on Gotham's lower east side. Cassandra look at it as Batman pressed the switch vision to his eye pieces in his cowl.

"There's twelve in there."

"Fourteen." Cassandra corrected.

Batman looked over showing his distaste, "I saw twelve."

"Two're on the roof, out of your line of sight." Cassandra answered, "They just stepped into view."

Batman looked again, sure enough, two more signatures wandered into sight, "Alright, we take the two on the top and…"

He looked over, Cassandra was already flying across the street. She landed, not a sound. The first one went down easy enough, his jaw broke like glass. The second didn't even notice her till her boot was right in his face and driving him to the ground. She heard Batman land after the second hi the rooftop.

"What is the matter with you!" He hissed.

"The fact…" She paused, "That you needed me to come out here to take out low rent thugs."

"What's your point?"

"That tonight it was me and Kara. Superman doesn't call Kara away, why do you?" Cassandra asked angrily.

"Because…" Batman replied, he didn't finish and stormed down the rooftop leaving Cassandra standing there.

"Fine, save yourself." She replied and threw a line out.

Kara flew down to the street a couple minutes later. Cassandra was sitting on a bench. She looked over and smiled.

"What's up?"

"Not much…" She answered, "'Cept the fact that he's being mean."

"He's always means, what's new?" Kara answered.

"I'm tired of this though, every time you and I are slated to go around together, he calls me and asks for help when he really doesn't need it." Cass replied.

"Sounds like something he'd do." Kara remarked, "Listen, if you just want to get outta here, I know a place we could go, I doubt he'd hang around for long."

"There's no where I could go that he wouldn't know exactly where I was." Cassandra replied.

"Doesn't mean he'll like going there." Kara smiled.

Two days passed and Cassandra was happy she came.

Today, Artemis was the one to beat. Kara slammed her sword against Artemis who quickly diverted the blow to the side. The side of the spear came to her head. Cassandra almost wanted to shout to pull her head back a bit but that didn't happen. Kara was shoved sideways, her sword skittering to the ground. The spear went to her neck almost instantly.

"Yield." Artemis replied.

Kara nodded and slowly stepped away, "Winner is Artemis. Who is next?"

Kara walked over to Cassandra, "You could take her." Kara replied with a whisper as another amazon went into combat with Artemis.

"I don't want to hurt her pride. She seems to really have passion for this." Cassandra replied.

"Oh come on, she needs to get a taste of reality." Kara answered.

The other one yielded, "Thirty seconds…" Cassandra thought, "She tries to get it over quick."

"Next?" The referee asked, Cassandra stepped forward, "Step on up." Artemis remarked.

Cassandra took one look and knew she'd already one. Artemis was full of herself today. People get too inflated sometimes, she was just that. Cassandra could understand though, she's just beat Super-girl in hand to hand combat. However, Cassandra was far from Super-girl, just like Artemis was far from her skill. She thought about Batman. This fight could do her some good.

Artemis grabbed a spear, "Take the spear." Cassandra pulled her hood off, "I refuse to use weapons. Besides, you'll need all the help you can get."

Nothing took her mind off how childish Batman was acting then having to dodge a spear from impaling her. Artemis brought it around, Cassandra flipped in mid-air, landed on the spear. She smashed her foot into Artemis's cheek. She stumbled and hit the floor. Cassandra hit the ground on one knee. She looked up and smiled.

Artemis pushed herself up from the ground and looked at Cassandra. She rose up and made a gesture to get into form for her style. Cassandra didn't need to look for the flaws, they were clear as day. She was off balance, her eyes weren't focused and she was trying to keep herself from wanting to kill her. Apparently, Cassandra thought, she hadn't gotten knocked around very often.

Artemis attacked in anger, but it was controlled, focused to a fine tip. She was good, Cassandra would give her that. Each move was swift and precise, but she could see the flaws of this type of style. Cassandra swatted the blows away from her using just her left forearm, without a sign of effort, she grabbed Artemis's wrist, twisted the arm, kicked her legs out and brought her down to the ground. Cassandra wrapped her hand around Artemis's ponytail and lifted her head close.

"Do you yield?" Cassandra asked.

"Y-yes…" Artemis answered.

Cassandra let go of her hair and her arm. She stepped away as Artemis got up from the ground. She smiled and bowed to her. Artemis nodded and bowed and stepped away.

"I respectfully decline any other challenges." Cassandra replied.

Cassandra walked back to Kara and leaned against the wall, "You know…" She said looking over, "You scare me sometimes."

Cassandra smiled, "Well that makes two of us."

That night Cassandra sat down on the coast and looked out towards the sea, "How'd you do it."

She'd known Artemis was behind her since she'd come to sit, "I could see it."

"What do you mean see it?"

"I mean…" Cassandra replied looking back at her, "I could see exactly what you were going to do. I had you beat before you tried to poke me."

"I don't understand."

"Of course you don't." Cassandra answered, "But if I told you that you were thinking about sitting down next to me and gazing out to the sea, would I be wrong?"

Artemis' eyes grew wide, "Who are you honestly…"

"Just a runaway girl…" Cassandra answered.

"Her name is Batgirl and she's coming with me."

Cassandra quickly whipped around to her feet, Batman came down to the street and looked her in the eyes, "Come on, the jets waiting. We're going back to Gotham."

"Hold it Batman."

Batman turned around and caught Wonder Woman in the eye, "This isn't your business Diana."

"She's on the island at the moment, which makes it my business." Wonder Woman remarked.

"She's going back to Gotham." Batman answered, "She left without permission."

Diana shook her head in disappoint meant, "Come with me and we'll get this all sorted out. I don't want another incident like on Titan Island in San Francisco."

Kara flew down next to Cassandra, "You notice that the Bat-Plane is here?"

Wonder Woman called Kara and Cassandra into her quarters. Batman was standing in a corner, his arms crossed. Cassandra smiled. He wasn't happy; well he was less happy then usual. Kara sat down on the chair, Cassandra leaned back on the wall, and the two looked over at Wonder Woman.

"Cassandra, do you mind explaining why you left him alone when he needed help?" Wonder Woman asked.

"He didn't need it." Cassandra, "He only called me in to basically keep me away from actually teaming up with Kara."

"Not true." Batman answered.

Cassandra and Kara both looked at him, Cassandra just looked at him and knew he was lying, Kara saw the electric synapses in his brain light up a bit.

"He's lying." They said in unison.

"That remains to be seen." Wonder Woman replied, "However, I can see what you're saying."

Cassandra nodded, "He's been doing it for weeks now." She replied.

"Why?" Wonder Woman asked looking over at Batman.

"Because…" He paused, Cassandra could see his discomfort, "Because I'm still don't trust Kara."

"I don't trust you either so there you go." Kara replied in anger.

"Alright, you two can go." Wonder Woman answered.

The two of them walked out. Cassandra said she was going to head to bed. She walked through the streets of Paradise Island, the smell of salt air and the wind was nice compared to the smell of garbage and sewer. She walked into her room and started taking off her gloves. She removed her cowl and rolled onto the bed. She sighed quietly and rolled over holding her pillow.

Kara set down on the terrace and put her back to the wall and crossed her arms, "Damn him…" She muttered.

WOOT! BACK! YES! Okay done with Caps lock.
