Damian's P.O.V.
After reuniting with Kara, I left her alone to get dressed. When I left her room I went over to father and said
"Does she know about Selina?"
"No, I haven't found a way to tell her yet. Selina is currently out of town, she'll be back tomorrow. Don't tell her"
"Not my place to tell, but you do know she won't be happy about this right"
"Yeah I know, that's why you and the boys will be at dinner with us tomorrow night"
"What about Barbra, Kate and Luke?"
"The media has already caught wind that Kara is alive, it will be on the morning news. Knowing Barbra she'll be round at some point later today"
"How do the media know already"
"There were a couple of reports waiting when we landed last night. For now, be with Kara, just try not to talk about what happened, she's having trouble talking about it"
"Understandably. What are you going to be doing?"
"I'm going to be down in the cave reading the reports I've ask Kate to do. I then want to read Karas medical records properly, her blood results should be in now. It shouldn't take too long" I nodded and went to my room to get changed.
After i got changed out of my PJs i met back up with Kara and we headed downstairs to see the others. As we approached the lounge we heard the news
"And in other news, details as to the Car accident story you've all heard about...the daughter of a very wealthy billionaire will soon become a legendary story. Jessica now has more details and the complete Crash story." The voice then changed
" Kara Wayne was last heard from more than 5 years ago. But in the early hours of the morning Bruce Wayne was spotted at a private airstrip returning with his daughter Kara Wayne. Our sources say that instead of dying in the car accident Kara was taken and held hostage for the past 5 years only to be found by a member of the Justice League. Bruce Wayne has yet to make comments on this new development…."
Kara then turned the TV off causing the guys to turn around. She then said
"That's enough of that" Jason then muttered
"Kara"
"Hey JayBird" the three of them then shot to their feet and hugged Kara. after a second she said
"Guys, i missed you too but this really hurt" within milliseconds they pulled out of the hug. Kara clutched her ribs and coughed, Dick placed a hand on her shoulder and she said
"I'll be okay in a second" I walked around Kara so i was standing with the others. Kara looked at us, smiled and said
"My boys, I missed you" Tim then said
"We missed you too K" After Tim said that Alfred came into the room and said
"Ahh i see you've all be reunited, Good. Breakfast is waiting in the kitchen" Kara then said
"I'm not that Hungry Al"
"With all due respect Miss Kara, you've been away for 5 years and you look like you need a proper meal. So you will eat something" he then turned and walked away. KAra then said
"Well some things never change" the 5 of us then walked to the kitchen to get something to eat. However Kara didn't eat much she just kinda pushed her food around the plate.
Bruce's P.O.V.
Just as expected Karas blood works was back and on the league database. Luckily they showed nothing major apart from malnurutionment, that was expected. Now her medical records showed nothing more than what Oliver told me. Thirty percent of his body's covered in scar tissue. Second and third degree burns on her back and arms. X- rays show a lot of fractures that never properly healed. Half her ribs are shattered. Her right knee is completely shot, her left ankle is fractured, she has a skull fracture, damaged eyes, internal organs that are severely bruised and her right arms is fractured. After re-reading this i can't believe that's she's walking around, she shouldn't be able to move. A couple of the old fractures are actually on her spine. After seeing this i muttered to myself
"Kara Wayne, you never stop amazing me"
Looking at these records the chances of her being Black Bat again are, if i'm honest very slim. That's if she want to be Black Bat again. I was snapped out of my thoughts when i received a call from the JL. I answered it saying
"Yeah" when the image appeared it revealed Clark. He then said
"Hey Bruce"
"Whats up Clark"
"Nothing i just wanted to check in. Hows Kara?"
"Reunited with the boys"
"That's not what i meant. How is she?"
"She won't talk about it, she doesn't sleep for more than 2 hours hours. I haven't seen her eat anything since coming back. I know that's she's just upstairs but the Kara we lost, i don't that's the one that came home"
"Bruce, it will take time. The only other person that may have had a similar ordeal than she has, is Oliver. He was gone for 5 years, but he was Alone. When he came back he couldn't talk to anyone about it without risking revealing that was the Green Arrow. Maybe she needs to talk to a specialist"
"Oliver said the same thing. I'll talk to Dianah in few days, For now i think Kara just needs some time to adjust back to normal life. On a different note i'm telling her about Selina tomorrow"
"And how do you think that's going to go"
"Damian believes it won't go well"
"He's got a point Bruce. Kara only knows Selina as Catwoman the thief"
"She's changed Clark, you know that"
"Yes I know that, the JL know that, the boys know that, but Kara doesn't, it's going to be a big shock for her"
The next day
Bruce's P.O.V.
When the doorbell went I got up to greet the person at the door. As I got closer to the door, Alfred said
"Welcome back Miss Kyle, I do hope you enjoyed your trip" Selina came into the house saying.
"I did Alfred, thank you" Alfred took her jacket, and then she noticed me. She smiled and said
"Bruce" I hugged her and said
"Welcome home Selina" we pulled out of the hug and she said
"I saw the news, Kara is alive"
"She's upstairs"
"Does she know"
"No, I was going to tell her tonight" The boys then joined us. The four of the greeted Selina and then I said
"Jason, could you go get Kara please" he went upstairs to go get her.
Moments later Jason came back down with Kara trailing behind him. She was wearing a short sleeve top showing the bandage and bruises on her arms. I felt my face drop when I saw the bruises but I shook it off and said
"Kara, you remember…" I gestured to Selina but before I could finish Kara said
"Selina Kyle, yeah I remember" she shook Selina's hand and said
"Not to sound rude but, um, why are you here?"
"I'm joining you for dinner, if that's no problem" Confusion swept across Karas face before saying
"No problem, I just wasn't told" Alfred then came back and said
"Dinner will be ready in a few moments" I then said
"Thank you Alfred. Shall we" we then made our way through to the dining room.
Karas P.O.V.
I was still confused about why Selina was here but as I saw her walk away with Dad, I noticed something. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a voice behind me.
"You just can't seem to stay out of trouble can you" the front door the closed and I turned to face my old friend, we chuckled and then I said
"Barbara Gordon" I then hugged her, as I hugged her she said
"I missed you, K"
"I missed you too Barbie" I pulled out of the hug and said
"Are you joining us for dinner"
"Yeah, Dick invited me"
"Come on then" we then joined everyone in the dining room.
Dad was sat at one end of the table with Selina to his left I was sat at the other end of the table with Damian to my right and Barbra to my left. Dick was sat next to Damian, Jason and Tim were sat on the same side with Barbra. Whilst we were eating dinner Jason was speaking
" Ok. What else did you miss? Super bowl winners... Giants, Steelers, Saints, Packers, Giants again. A black president, that's new. Oh, and "Lost," they were all dead...I think" whilst he was speaking I couldn't help but notice the way Selina was acting around Dad and the smile on dad's face. Tim then spoke
"What was it like there?" The table went quiet and tension filled the room. I then said simply
"Cold" Barbara then changed the subject
"Tomorrow, you and me, we're doing the city. Get you some new clothes. We've got a lot to catch up on" Dad then said
"That sounds like a great idea. Right Kara?"
"Yeah" Alfred then walked over with a bowl of fruit in his hand but trips. Without thinking I caught the bowl and restored his balance. He then said
" Oh, I am so sorry, Miss Kara.
" It's no worry,Alfred" he took the bowl and I stretched my hand, despite it only being a small thing it still really hurt my hand.
Everyone looked towards me with stunned expressions on their faces. I took a sip from my drink as Dick said
"Have your reflexes got faster" I just shrugged and said
"They had too I guess" Selina then said
"So Kara, how are you adjusting to being home"
"I'd be better if you'd tell me what's going on between you and my father" Silence filled the room and the tension returned. Dad looked at me then at Damian. Damian then said
"I didn't say anything" I then said
"He didn't have to. Best of the best remember" Dad nodded in acknowledgement before holding Selinas hand and said
"Kara...Selina and I are engaged, the wedding is arranged for a few months time. I don't want you to think that either one of us did anything to disrespect you. Selina has changed a lot in 5 years" Selina then said
"We both believed that you, were, uh, well, gone" I took a breath before saying
"It's fine" I then stood up and said
"May I be excused?" Dad nodded and I picked up a piece of fruit before walking past Damian, Dick and Babs. I ruffled Damians hair as Barbie said
"Hey, don't forget about tomorrow" I then walked out of the room and up to my room.
