Haisley adjusted to the sensation of the world fading away and back into focus for the second time as she took in the sight of a Batcave. It was like hers in many ways but different in so many others.
"Is this where you guys wanted us to end up?" Bruce asked as he pulled off his mask.
Another voice entered the scene, "What have you two Barrys done now?" the man questioned as he walked upon his unexpected guests.
Haisley spoke next, "I'm guessing you're also a Batman?" The stranger nodded causing her to continue, "Ok, from now on, we need some nicknames because this is going to be way too confusing. Everyone good with that?"
Bruce and the others gestured for her to go on with her thoughts. "Ok, you are Barry," she began with the shorter-haired Barry. She pointed at the one with long hair, "We're going to call you Bart. Bruce, you get to keep your name. As for Batman number two, what's your middle name?" she questioned.
"Thomas," he answered before running his hand through his graying hair. He was younger than her Batman, but not as much as she'd expected.
Haisley nodded, once again, "Are you good with that name for the duration of our visit?" He acknowledged her with a simple bob of his head. "Fantastic, I'm Haisley Wilson," she offered her hand, "I haven't seen any other Batgirls which is kind of a relief."
Thomas took her hand and shook it, "So, Barry and Bart brought you two here to help with our Zod problem?"
"Zod is a Kryptonian like Superman," Thomas began, "He can fly along with having super speed and strength. If those talents weren't enough, he also comes equipped with an army. So, no big deal," he added at the end, sarcastically.
Bruce stepped forward, "Does this Zod have any weaknesses? There has to be something we can use to our advantage."
"Kryptonite," Barry responded, "I don't know if we have access to any, though."
Thomas sighed as he walked to his desk and opened a drawer, "I have some but I'm not sure if it's enough to get the job done. The four of us, even with our combined skills and this tiny piece of kryptonite, aren't enough to take on what he's going to unleash," he explained as he gestured for the group to follow him to the manor, leaving the Batcave.
Thomas had some clothes Bruce and Haisley could change into before the five sat around Thomas' dining room table to discuss options.
Before any of them could start the conversation, they were interrupted by a knock at the door. Thomas' butler, Alfred, answered and brought a new guest into the room, "Sir, this is Kara. She says she is here to help."
"Thank you, Alfred," Thomas replied as Alfred left the room. "Hi Kara, forgive me for not knowing anything about you but, who are you exactly?"
The young woman answered, "I am Kara Zor-el. My cousin is Clark. Zod came here from my Earth and I followed him to make sure he doesn't hurt anyone."
"You are literally an answered prayer," Haisley replied as she gestured for Kara to take a seat before she handled introductions, sharing everyone's true name and current nickname. "We were just getting ready to come up with a plan to defeat Zod," she shared.
Kara began speaking again, "Luckily, he only brought a small portion of his army with him. I sabotaged the ability of anyone else to come through and join us. If we can get the source of his power away from him, he'll be defeated. Many years ago, he ciphered his powers into a lightning-shaped crystal to gain more power. If he loses it, he's just a man," she explained.
Barry and Bart glanced at each other before Bart addressed the group, "We have the best chance of getting it from him with our speed. Our plan would be to disorient Zod allowing any of you to come in and grab his 'crystal'," he theorized.
"That's not bad," Bruce agreed as he leaned forward his seat, placing his elbow on the table with his finger up as if he was about to share another idea. He glanced at Kara, "Are you fast like them?"
"Yes, I could get it from him if he's busy trying to fight off a coordinated attack from all of you," Kara commented.
Haisley shook her head before she expressed her thoughts, "I like our plan for Zod but what are we supposed to do about the rest of his men while we try and get his power source?"
Thomas stood and began to pace the room, "That's a good point. I think I have something for them. Everyone go get some rest, there are plenty of rooms to choose from. I'll get to work on my idea."
Bruce stood, as well, "I'd like to assist you if you don't mind."
Thomas nodded, "Haisley, I noticed your injury when you arrived. Alfred can stitch that up before you lay down. I'll send up Bruce shortly."
Barry and Bart chose to join Thomas and Bruce while Kara and Haisley made their way upstairs.
Haisley was asleep when she felt the weight of the bed shift as Bruce got under the blankets, snuggling close to her, pulling her body against his.
"Did you guys figure out a plan for Zod's soldiers?" she whispered her voice heavy with sleep, causing Bruce to smile. He'd forgotten, even in just three months apart, how light of a sleeper she was and how much he loved holding her close.
He nodded, "We did. Go back to sleep. We've got a hell of a day ahead of us tomorrow," he added as he placed a kiss on the top of her head.
"I'm not tired anymore," Haisley challenged with a wicked grin as she rolled over to face him, running her hand along his chest.
Bruce's lips curved into a mischievous smirk as he leaned down and took her mouth with his own. He pulled away only for a moment, "I've missed you so much."
"Back at ya," she answered before she resumed the kiss while rolling him onto his back allowing her to straddle his lap, grinning against his lips as she could feel her effect on him.
A/N: I don't know a lot about Zod or Kara so I did my own thing. None of this story follows canon. I've loved Michael Keaton's Batman forever (my favorite) and I had to write a story about his return. I've also always wanted to be Batgirl lol. I'm game to write some stories about him and Batgirl before this story y'all like it.
