DISC: ION except Sam.

AN at the bottom.

I woke up by the alarm clock, meaning its 6AM 'I hate Mondays.' I groggily woke up removing my sheets from the bed carefully as my hand is now in a cast, my fingers are a mess along with my hand. 'Why can't a blue ring just fly through my window and heal this hand?' I thought as I made effort to not move my right hand. 'There will be so many questions. What did I have to tell anyone? Oh right I'll say it was a car accident or that is what Batman said.' 4 fingers broken along with 16 fissures and cracks in total.

'This is so frustrating, bathing is incredibly uncomfortable and, I can't even dress myself good thing the ring helps me. And they expect that I'm like 'this' for the rest of the year? Yeah fuck that. If magic can heal a sliced throat then sure as hell it can heal a broken hand.' I thought as I put my Gotham Academy vest on, and only my left glove. I stepped out of my room and I smelled eggs and toast along with the sizzling of what I knew the smell of was bacon.

"Hey Sammy, good morning." Hal said brightly.

"Ugh too early to be so happy. You usually just give me twenty bucks and tell me to get something from the cafeteria. What's going on?" I asked him noticing how weird he is acting.

"Of course not Sam, I'm just a good father. And you're injured, so you sit there and I'll serve you breakfast." Hal said with a jump on his step. 'What is going on?'

"Hey, Hal is that breakfast I smell..." A female voice came from the hallway I turned to the source of the voice to see Carol Ferris in a white shirt that clearly didn't belong to her and no pants. My eyes drifted to her legs 'Whoa, those legs... oh shit.' I groaned internally as I realized what I just thought and moved my vision to her face. She has black hair brown bright eyes, her slender body accentuated body and long legs.

"Hey Carol you're on time, I just finished making breakfast for Samantha. I hoped you could join us." Hal said as he placed food on my plate and served it to the one in front of me along with a glass of orange juice. 'Leave it to him to make breakfast for his daughter to impress her longtime love. Never pictured Hal for one to impress or to be responsible.'

"Well I don't mind at all. Good morning... Samantha right?" Carol asked as she took a seat in the chair next to me.

"Oh my gosh what happened to your hand?" Carol said as she looked at my right hand.

"Oh it was an accident a "car" accident." I said to her she looked like she didn't buy it and looked straight at my ring in my index finger, which was the only finger available to place it in.

"It's okay kiddo tell her." Hal said sighing; I began to eat by using my left hand. 'This is awful I can't even eat comfortable in this cast.'

"I'm a green lantern." I told her before I drank orange juice.

"I can see that. You're that new one the one the media talks about, they are right you're beautiful." She told me honestly, I felt my face heat up.

"Thanks, but the hand thing is because some robot jerk decided that it would be fun to crush my hand and he did. So now I have 7 cracks and 9 fissures along with 4 broken fingers." I told her.

"Woah, that's gotta hurt." Carol asked as I took another forkful of egg.

"It does." I told her nonchalantly as I kept eating.

"That reminds me after you finish your meal you need to take the 12 hour medicine." Hal reminded me I sighed.

"Yeah I know." I responded as I took the bacon with my hand.

"So tell me, why did you follow your dad's footsteps?" Carol asked me as she began to eat.

"Well I'm not his real daughter. The ring chose me one day I'm saving a kid from an attack by Poison Ivy and you know." I told her pointing to her hand she looked down to her plate with a sad look on her face.

"I'm sorry, it's just the ring makes me go crazy and any feeling out of love it makes jealousy to drive you crazy with anger. I'm really sorry if I hurt you, that day." She said looking at me with a sad expression I looked at her she had a chain around her neck and at the center there was her ring a bright almost crystal like pink ring.

"Well after I saved a girl from a car you blew up along with Poison Ivy and ran away with her in my arms, Hal here saved me and I ran away with the girl in my arms gave it to her mother and ran into an alley to avoid people panicking. A few moments later a ring floats in front of me and here I Am." I told her, she looked kinda happy but had a regretful look.

"I'm glad you're okay. After that and I'm sorry for what I did. But what happened after that? And when did Hal adopted you? He was really happy most of those days, and to be honest he changed for good. Usually he was irresponsible and he almost didn't care about anything but himself… but right now he's different, more I don't know mature? I think that's the word." She told me as he looked at Hal as he took a seat in the table with a bigger plate than mine.

"Well he adopted me after we returned to Earth after the training which was hell. He adopted me after he found out I lived on the streets; maybe he can tell you my story. I would tell it to you but I need to brush my hair and I have only one hand and it would take too long." I said as I finished my breakfast, her face looked shocked and looked at Hal surprised after she heard where I lived. I stood up and made way to my room.

"I can help you, brush it... if you want I mean." She said in a hopeful tone as she looked at me stopping eating breakfast.

"Sure let me take my medicine." I said as I approached the table to take my plate but Hal stopped me.

"Oh no, young lady you're not doing anything until your hand is better." Hal told me scolding me.

"What? but I can do my dish I'm not crippled." I said at his statement

"Yeah. You kinda are." He responded in a smartass way.

"Fine, I'll take my medicine." I said as I took my orange juice with me to drink the medicine, as soon as I left the kitchen I heard Carol and Hal begin to talk, but I have things to do, I got to my room and took that was in the nightstand. It took me almost a minute to take the pill that the doctor ordered since it's hard to take the pill out. I heard a knock on my door and Carol's voice behind the door

"Hey, Samantha do you still need my help to brush your hair?"

"Yeah Carol I really need help with simple things." I said as I opened a drawer in my nightstand that had my brush, I heard the door opened and took my brush.

"Here, my bedhead kinda didn't go away after I showered." I told her as I handed her the brush.

"Sit, so I can help you it should take only a few minutes. Do you use your hair in a certain way or..." She said as she motioned to the dresser for me to sit.

"No, just straight it up I don't like braids or stuff like that. That's why I keep it short."

"Alright then, your hair is getting longer you should keep it longer your hair I'm curious as how it would look your hair is so blonde it's beautiful." She began to brush my hair; I
just thought it would be weird having my hair at a longer length. "You know it's different seeing Hal act like he does around you."

"What do you mean? He's always been a dork who tries to be serious." She laughed at my remark.

"Yeah but he's different; you should've seen him when he began to work with me. He was cocky, irresponsible, and so full of himself, among other things." She sighed.

"And now?" I asked curious on how much Hal changed.

"He's more responsible; he takes a lot of care for you, but he's still a giant dork." She said as she stopped.

"He does make bad jokes from time to time; the lazy Sundays are the best. Pizza, movies and it's just the two of us." I told her.

"Maybe one day I could come to your lazy Sundays as you say." She said as she began to admire her work on my hair.

"That can be arranged; I would like you to come. Maybe you could come this Sunday the 3 of us, pizza and a few movies." I told her as she finished brushing my hair I turned to her.

"Is that an invitation?" She asked smiling.

"Yeah, it would be cool to have you here." I told her as I picked up my backpack, and looked at my clock, it marked 6:45.

"It's late." I said worriedly.

"Do you need a ride? Where is your school?" She said worriedly, I smiled at her and how she was worried for me.

"Gotham Academy, don't worry I have my means of transport." I said as I began to walk out the room.

"Well have a good day, I'll see you on Sunday or when Hal invites me here." She said as she got up we walked to the kitchen. I opened the fridge looking for an apple or a fruit but the fridge was empty, a few eggs, milk, a few vegetables not enough for me to eat here, or take something for school.

"See you later dad, I have judo class today so I'll probably get here late I'm going to the cave after school I'll eat there." I walked out the room and to the backyard.

"Bye Sammy have a nice day. Wait you forgot your lunch money." Hal ran out to give me the twenty bucks he always gives me.

"Thanks dad." I said as I pecked him in the cheek, and powered my ring to go to the zeta tube which was at the Green Lantern memorial park.

I arrived at Gotham Academy at 6:55 for which I had to fly and be two blocks away to arrive in time here. Bad thing I had to leave my right glove at home since I can't wear it. 'Please no Valerie today.' I thought as I entered the school gate. Only to see Valerie and her cronies who were talking in a group to a few guys. Valerie and her two cronies made a bee line on their way to me. 'Mother fucker.'

"Oh my gosh, what happened to your hand Samantha?" Valerie told me in a worried tone, her two cronies began to laugh. 'Why can't I just punch you in the face and be done with you?' I groaned internally as I turned to her.

"Yeah, what did you do fell on your face and become uglier? Oh wait it's still the same." Mindy said making the other two laugh. 'Okay that was bad, moving on. Ignore them and walk away.' I turned around and began to walk away.

"Hey Samantha, why are you running away? Going to cry to mommy?" Valeria told me; that made me stop in my tracks.

"What did you say?" I asked her turning to her as I felt anger growing inside me.

"You heard me; are you going to go and cry to mommy?" Her face turned to a smirk, my anger began to rise as her face turned to a smirk; I began to walk towards her as I clenched my fist. 'I'm really going to enjoy this.' I thought as I was a few feet from Valerie.

"SAM!" I heard a distinct voice behind me, the voice that melts my insides.

"Kara?" I turned to see her standing in a Gotham Academy uniform the black vest, skirt and... glasses?

"Hello." She said cheerfully.

"What are you doing here?" I turned completely towards Kara ignoring Valerie.

"I'm going to attend here now, you know, they let me study here." She said as she winked at me. 'Oh thank you batman.'

"That's great. What is your first class today? And what group?" I asked her hoping that she would be in my class.

"I'm in I think it was group A, my first class is Math, , then break, after that I think it was literature and something starting with chem." She said as she rubbed her chin.

"You're in my group awesome. Come on, let's get there before the places become too crowded. Oh and if you need any help on any subject ask me anything." I took her hand to get away from Valerie and we began to walk towards the classroom, as I touched her hand I felt that same electricity I always feel when we touch.

"I like how your hair looks today." Kara told me as I let go of her hand.

"Thanks Kara I really like the glasses it makes you look good and kinda weird, but today a friend of Hal did it as I'm currently crippled; and it's annoying to do anything." I told her as I motioned to my cast, she looks like any other girl in the crowd someone you would look over, and she looks less tall, kinda geeky but really cute. I never understood how Superman's glasses worked but now I see how they work she looks less I don't know less super that can only be the only way to describe it.

"Its Karen Starr actually Megan's idea, and actually Clark gave me these along with a pair for Conner." She told me explaining her name and glasses, but it felt weird saying her name like that.

"Alright Karen." I said as I walked to the classroom saying Karen felt weird. 'I really hope I can still call her Kara.' I thought to myself.

"You can call me Kara, as a... nickname I think that's what it's called here... if you want... I mean."

"Awesome pussum... that is something... I don't say... ignore I just said that." I told her as I realized what I just said.

"Sure thing... pussum." She responded as she giggled I just groaned as my fell my entire face heat up.

We arrived at the classroom, and I sat down close to the window; with Kara sitting behind me we began to talk until other students began to arrive taking their seats.

"Good morning class, oh that's right; we have a late entry. Karen Star? Starr? Doesn't matter, you're a late entrance student. Karen you have to talk to all the teachers so you can get caught up with every project we have." Professor Richards told Kara.

"Thanks, professor." Kara responded to him.

I took out my next book, called If On a Winter's Night a Traveler to read , but my hand didn't let me turn the page so I took the book in my left hand and changed pages with my right hand/cast; while the professor explained the next math subject. As I finished reading the first 2 pages, I felt like a metal rod poking my back a few times. I turned around to see Kara looking at me curiously with one eyebrow raised. "What are you doing?" She asked me in whisper.

"Umm... reading?" I responded.

"Why? You should be paying attention." She said pointing at the professor as she covered her mouth as if her voice would sound less.

"Because I already know all this; I read it first day and..." I responded to her but the entire classroom was quiet, and everyone was looking our way. 'Everyone was talking a second ago... I hate people.'

"Ms. Parthenon, if you know so much about the subject that you're reading a college level book, do you mind explaining the subject for today?" Professor Richards told me as he pointed at the simple X equation. 'Well it's simple, since I'm just beginning my first year in junior high school and same with Kara as she is currently in the same state as me.

"Well it's a simple X equation make the X equal to all the numbers on one side and add, subtract, divide or multiply to get the value of X, and the answer is X equals six." I told him, as I looked down to my book again.

"That's correct but... how do you know?" He asked me as I looked up to him.

"Well it's... I don't know... just easy. And I read ahead in the math book." I told him honestly as I returned to the paragraph I was reading.

"Miss Parthenon, do you mind paying attention?" He asked me a part of me wanted to comply to his order but the other part of me thought it would be more fun to see him riled up while I kept reading. So I did the logical thing and kept reading; I heard the professor sigh as I kept reading and he kept explaining. About an hour later the professor talked again.

"Class if you finish this work you won't have homework. If you finish all the problems I've wrote in the board in the remaining of the class before your free hour, you may hand it in and you can go out." The professor said as I stopped reading my book and began to work on the ten problems the professor left on the board. I took out my notebook and a pen and began to write the number of the problem and beside that number the answer for the problem. A few minutes later I was done with the problems stood up and handed in the paper with my name on the top part along with the date.

"Miss Parthenon, I can't accept the paper like this." Professor Richards told me.

"But they're correct." I argued, I heard giggling in the back of the room where Valerie and her cronies usually sit.

"Yes, all the answers are correct; but you don't have procedure or even the complete problems. So you need to write the procedure or at least something that can make me understand that you understood the subject and how to do it." The professor explained me I just groaned that I had to write it again and do procedures.

I finished 10 minutes later, I was the second person to finish the problems I took my bag slipped it on my left shoulder and left the classroom. I reclined to the wall next to the classroom beside the door to wait for Kara to come out; after almost everyone in the class left the room Kara came out as if in deep thought. "Hey." I told her that seemed to bring her out of her thoughts.

"Oh... hi." She responded, as I took her out of her state of deep thought.

"Are you okay?" I asked her.

"Yeah, it's just weird you know. I mean from being here, to you know... before." She said sadly, remember her life on krypton.

"Well it's different, go and make friends." I told her, a part on my chest didn't want to leave her like this; but she will be branded as weird by my company.

"But... What about you?" She said as her brows furrowed and crossed her arms.

"I don't do friends, never have, never will." I told her as I began to walk away or tried to as I felt a strong grip grab my left arm.

"Wait, but why?" She asked me, I just sighed remembering all the times I just spent in recess and free times in those schools with my sister.

"Hey Sam, you okay?" Kara said worriedly as she took my hand in hers and gave it a light squeeze, it was so light, careful and warm, like she was human; that touch took me out of my thoughts as I felt my heart jump.

"Uhh... yeah, it doesn't matter; don't worry about it." I told her.

"You looked sad, are you sure you're alright?" She insisted.

"It doesn't matter." I responded sharply. "I'm hungry, I'm gonna go to the cafeteria for food I'm hungry."

"Sam, I'm new here so I don't really know anyone... do you mind if I stay with you?" She asked me shyly as her left hand gripped her right arm and her legs shifted.

"You know I'm not really liked here right?" I told her pointing out my situation as I don't really have friends.

"Well I like you... I mean I am we're together right now, but not together together, as in together now, I mean friends and uh, I, ah..." She stumbled with her words

"Well your funeral." I told her as I squeezed her hand and motioned for her to come, I let go of her hand and we began walking towards the cafeteria, we began to talk about how people behave differently comparing krypton and earth, the entire free hour we had we spent it talking not touching any super powered related subject and I felt like I can tell her anything, and we can talk about everything even though we have silences they're not awkward. Before I knew it the hour ended and we went back to the classroom where I had to pay attention as I don't really understand English class, it's annoying, I don't understand it and it frustrates me that math problems are easy and English is a pain and a headache; but that's the only class I really hate and I have to pay attention. After finishing a few more chapters during chemistry class the school day ended and I had judo and Tae-Kwan-Do classes; Kara could enter any sport she said that she would later thing about it but I think that she's interested in dance classes.

"Aren't you coming with me?" Kara asked me as we walked out the main school building.

"No, I have judo class today after class, you should stay and watch the dance class." I told her as I walked towards the gym.

"Well it said that it was at 3 and it's currently 1:35 so I need to wait." Kara said considering what to do.

"Well you could wait in the library reading, I have Judo and Tae-Kwan-Do from 2 to 3 all week." I stopped walking and looked at her waiting for what she would do.

"Well I think I'll go to the library I'm not really hungry." She told motioning for the library building.

"Alright, I'll see ya later." I told her as I walked away; I walked into the gym and looked for the room where the self-defense classes were taught. What I like about this expensive school is that there are installations for sports and expensive equipment for every sport; bad thing about this is that Hal and I don't have enough money for all the supplies, all the homework that needs to be done in a computer I do it at the cave. I don't really want to bother Hal with school expenses, fighting usually gave me enough money for cheap school supplies; Hal being an air force pilot he doesn't really have enough money for what this school asks is ridiculous 100 dollars for a calculator along with another 300 for books along with a computer for schoolwork Hal barely had any money after paying that and Hal is like me he doesn't want to ask for financial help I'm sure the only one knowing that is Barry Allen, good thing is that I'm smart even though there were days that I didn't eat and stole food from Earl's kitchen to not spend the money that Annie would need to buy school supplies. Bad thing is that the scholarship doesn't really cover every expense that is charged during the semester such as events that the school holds; I think I'll give my money to Hal or deposit everything I have onto his account those thousand dollars should cover the expenses during the first two or three months.
Now I only need to keep doing what I do and pull my own weight in Hal's house as to not get kicked out of it, I'm sure that eventually Hal's gonna kick me out; well I'm saving 10 dollars from the twenty he gives me every 2 days I'm hungry when I get home and to the cave but every five days the league gives money in order to restock the kitchen so I eat there so Hal doesn't spend too much money on me. He usually prepares dinner when both of us are home by usually 9 o'clock if Hal is not busy with the league. But I think this weekend I could sneak off but I'm still grounded I could give him a fake ring or go to a zeta tube and take a cab I could take a cab to a ring 3 or 4 times a month and don't go to the cave; just win a few fights and go home with the money eventually it could cover basic needs if... not if but rather WHEN I get kicked out. I could ask Zatara to heal my hand it's magic after all, but magic usually has a price to pay.

I looked around and saw that I'm standing in the middle of the hallway and in front of the door for the class. I sighed aloud and entered the room with all the expensive equipment for safely practicing judo such as things I don't really know the names for they're just there for cushioning falls, in the walls are posters for Gotham Knights, upcoming events and so on. The professor was there in his judo uniform in his black belt, looking at the door waiting for everyone to come to class.

"Hi Professor Bergman." I told him as I closed the door and sat on my knees making the skirt not to go up my legs. 'I hate skirts I can't sit down properly.'
"Hello Samantha, what happened to your hand?" Professor Bergman asked me in a serious tone. Professor Bergman is a man in his mid-20s he has light brown hair, with a fair tan skin, and has the complexion of a fighter. He is a really kind man, but he gets serious when he teaches.

"Oh an accident when I visited my dad in coast city this weekend." I told him.

"Well I'm sorry for that." He told me in a sad expression

"You don't have to be sorry; it was just a driver who didn't know how to drive." I told him

"Well you might as well go home, since you can't really do anything with that hand." He told me.

"But..." I was interrupted.

"But you're going to have to stay here and watch the training, since you can't actually skip classes." He told me.

"Okay, I'll stay here." I told him as I moved to the back and sat in the benches where other students usually place their backpacks in. I watched as slowly the classroom filled up and watched the entire training, and I realized I'm the only girl in the whole classroom in both here and Tae-Kwan-Do classes. Maybe other girls come to this class after all it's only the second class. But Gotham Academy has a team for every sport for competitions I only hope that I don't really have to travel in a bus as I remember how I can't stomach a bus trip when I traveled in that bus to San Jose that was horrible my stomach wouldn't settle. I can't help but only remember those happier memories, is that my true fear? Am I afraid of being happy? Maybe... But that's something I need to think about later. Right now I need to focus on getting my hand back after all The Injustice League attacks later this week, and I'm not really sure how the fight will change; or if it changed at all, and it's gonna be my chance to talk to Doctor Fate only problem is I'm gonna have to come up with some way to get that helmet out of Aqualad I need to see if Doctor Fate can look to that universe since he can literally teleport to any universe. Or well Doctor Fate, the Antimonitor and Darkseid are the only multidimensional beings in this universe.

I need to talk with Doctor Fate and I have an idea on how to talk to him, but fist I need Zatara to fix my hand.

Guest: I'm glad you're loving it, I really enjoy writing and doing this in order for you guys to read.

Rayna 17: Actually Nightwing was an option as in "Richard Grayson" I'm sure writing the relationship between Sam and Nightwing would've been fun but the poll spoke and I can't really imagine a polygamous relationship between all of them besides I'm not sure a relationship like that would work.

Guest(1): Sam and Nightwing would've been more of a problematic relationship as Nightwing is a player in the sense that he dated Zatanna, Rocket and Batgirl in the show. I believe that it would've been a fun relationship. From the very beginning I thought of Sam and Kaldur who would later become evil and Sam would've been mad at him for being a traitor. That was the original idea but I also liked the idea of Sam being in a relationship with Kara was indeed the best answer.
