The New Girl in Town

by Kiss Queen Love Kiss

With Bruce away on a meeting, a strange woman, claiming to work for Hades, comes to Wayne Manor. She offers to be his assistant. Terry, not knowing what to do, accepts. They form a friendship. T because I'm paranoid. Feel free to review and criticize! (Please?) There will be a sequel at one point.

5. Chapter 5

I lay down on the bed, the blanket covering me up. The canopy was held above me by four bed posts, and I could see it droop down in the dark.

I turned over, tears in eyes. I didn't want to leave Hades. He was like a grandfather to me. Well, that was because regardless of which universe I was in, he was my grandfather. He gave me love, which I never felt with my parents back in my home universe. He treated me like a daughter. He said the Wonder Woman in this universe didn't believe she was actually his daughter, but he told me she was, so that made me his granddaughter. When he first told me to leave, I tried to get him to let me stay but he said he didn't want me getting hurt.

I can still remember him taking my hands and promising that when it was all over, he'd contact me and take me back home. He told me my father would be away for about a month, so while he was dealing with Zeus, I could stay in his home.

"I'll be all right, child," he said. Then he kissed my forehead and hugged me.

That was the last time I saw him. Now I was here with Terry McGinnis. He reminded me of the fact that when I was little, I used to want to have a younger sibling. He was kind of like that sibling to me.

I thought I'd be back with Hades before the month was over. I thought he'd show up at the door of Wayne Manor and tell Terry that he was here to pick me up. Then I'd say goodbye to Terry and promise to write to him, because I found myself liking him a lot. I'd give him my email, (no, seriously, there's actually email in Tartarus of all places) and he'd give his to me, then we'd start writing to each other on a daily basis.

But that's not how it turned out.
