Bruce's P. O.V
As time went on the paparazzi back off and Kara started to adjust back to normal life. She's been sleeping more but only by a few hours, the nightmares are less frequent and she doesn't scream in the sleep anymore. Despite this, you look at her and there's something missing, that spark she used to have is gone. So to try and bring back that spark Dick came up with the idea to reunite Kara with her old teammates from when she was 13..
The team was never supposed to exist but the proteges of the original league members got together and formed their own team. At first there were some concerns but the they ended up growing as heroes and became really good friends and teammates. The team was in place for a couple of years before they decided it was time to disband it and get on with their lives. The older teammates went away to college across the world. As the youngest Dick and Jara were left in Gotham City to continue as Black Bat and Robin. As far as i'm aware Kara has no idea that her team is on their way to Gotham.
Now Kate, Luke and Kara didn't get off to the best of starts and that's reflected by the way they act around each other when Kate and Luke stay after a late night patrol. It turns out when Kara twisted Kates arm behind her back, Kara gave her a Stable fracture. It should heal within a few weeks. Kara has also started to come down to the cave more to watch the training sessions, i think she misses being Black Bat but she's not ready to take that mantle back just yet. I couple of days after finding her car, i had it moved upstairs to the garage workshop, she's started doing some basic repairs. She's even started to teach Damian how to rebuild cars.
The boys call to check on kara on a regular basis. Tim is currently in Jump City with the titans, Jason is god knows where but he assures us he's okay and will be back soon, Dick has just got back to the states after seeing some friends. He should be back in gotham later today. Damian is coming to the end of the school year and is at the top of his classes apart from Maths, he has always struggled with mathematics. Kara helped him at first but then everything happened and his grades started to drop again, at first the teachers gave him the benefit of the doubt seeing as his sister had just died But that only lasted a few months.
The wedding is a couple of weeks away. Basically everything is done now, it's starting to feel real. However kara hasn't decided yet whether or not she's going to go. If she does there will be a lot of reporters asking her questions about what happened. I'd like for her to be there but i understand if she decides not too.
Today is Friday and I've just got back from work, it's 4PM and damian should be home. I need to talk to him because i got a call from his head teacher. Apparently Damian got into some kind of altercation with another boy at school and Damian got punched around the face. I'm surprised he didn't react but doing that could have compromised our identities. As i entered the house Selena came down the hall and said
"He's in the snug with Kara"
"Is he okay?"
"He's going to have one hell of a bruise. He's got a headache and he's tired but he knows not to go to sleep for a few hours"
"Did you go to pick him up?"
"Yeah the nurse said that when i fell he smacked his head on something, he's got a slight concussion"
"I'll go talk to him" I started to walk towards the snug but selena stopped me by saying
"Go easy on him Bruce, He's feeling sorry for himself" i just nodded and went into the snug.
As i entered the snug i saw kara sitting in one of the arm chairs with her feet on the coffee table and her old guitar in her hands. Damian is sat on the couch on his laptop with an ice pack pressed against his left eye. I then said
"Damian" Kara took her legs off the table, put her guitar down and said
"That's my cue to leave" she got up, ruffled Damian's hair and went to walk past me. Before she did she whispered
"Cut him some slack"
"Thanks for watching him" she smiled and then left the room. I walked towards the couch just as Damian closed his laptop. When i sat down he said
"He was talking about Kara"
"What?"
"At lunch a group of boys started talking about Kara, saying she faked her death to get attention. I got pissed off"
"How'd the fight start?"
"I started to defend Kara without revealing what actually happened. No one at school stands up to this guy, so when i did it attracted a crowd. I went to walk away but he shoved me. I just turned around and he punched me. I got up and wanted to hurt him but a teacher turned up"
"You didn't retaliate, you took the higher ground…. Can i see your eye?" he took the ice pack away and turned to face me. A bruise was already starting to show around his swollen eye
"Selena was right, you'll have a lovely bruise there tomorrow"
"So what happens now?"
"The kid that punched you isn't allowed to go into the school for the rest of the year apart from when he has exams. You are suspended for a week for being involved. It could of been a lot worse"
"Yeah i could have killed him"
"Don't say that Damian, you're not that person anymore"
"That doesn't change the fact that i could have killed him. Everything that mother taught me, it's second nature. I have to restrain myself when we're out patrolling. Sometimes it's harder than others"
"But you still stop yourself from doing it. You're a Wayne, Not an Al Ghul" He just nodded.
