Chapter 23

Mara and Nicole walked into their school building, wearing fresh bandages and trying their best to blend in. Nicole wore a short sleeved blue shirt with dark jeans and Mara wore a black jacket, red shirt, and grey pants. They didn't really want to make a scene during their first day back. Usually they didn't care much but they just wanted a little quiet time and try to be normal after everything that has been going on. Of course when they saw their friends running at them they knew calm and relaxing wasn't going to be in their schedule.

"Oh crap….." Mara groaned as their friend Chelsea basically rammed into them and hugged them.

"Oh my god where have you two been?" their friend exclaimed then hit both of them in the chest.

"OWW!" both the girls yelled in pain.

"Don't you two EVER scare me like that again!"

"Well we are already injured a lot thanks." Nicole said while Mara was trying to catch her breath. Nicole still had a bandaged head and walked with a limp while Mara had a cast around her arm.

"You're welcome." Chelsea smiled.

Mara muttered something while Nicole couldn't help but laugh. She missed her old, wacky friends and would take their antics over the Joker's little games any day.

"So what like happened to you guys anyway?" Emily asked.

"It's a long story Em…" Mara said. All the fourteen year olds' friends were asking them questions throughout the school day. It is not everyday your friends are abducted by one of the most notorious criminals in Gotham, so naturally they were interested. When it was time for lunch and everyone sat down and started eating, one of their not so friendly peers walked right up to them.

"You two are back? What a shame, I thought I was rid of you two clown girls for good. But like a real dirty stain, losers are hard to really get rid of for good." Christie smirked and laughed her obnoxious snobbish laugh. Her "friends" laughed along with her, trying to humiliate the teens on their first day back.

Nicole sighed and stood up, facing Christie. "Now look here you stuck up little bitch. I have been put through a lot the past couple days. We were kidnapped by the Joker, electrocuted and me and Mara almost died but were saved by Batman. And after all of this you have the nerve to call me a loser? No I am not a loser Christie; you are the loser. You make fun of us for being ourselves while you are a snobbish brat. We are sick of all the shit you say to us and if you don't leave us the hell alone, I am going to kick your bitchy ass until you wish you never met us. Got it?" Nicole seethed and glared at the other girl, obviously taken back by her words, along with her friends and Mara and the others.

Christie stuttered but gathered herself. "I don't need this. Goodbye Travis." She said Nicole's last name full of spite as she walked away with her nose in the air, her clique following her. Nicole sat back down with her friends.

"Whoa…didn't know you had it in you, Nicole." Mara grinned at her friend.

"Yeah that was awesome!" their friend Diana exclaimed.

Nicole smiled. "It was nothing really. I just said what has been on my mind for awhile is all. And I was getting sick of her attitude anyway." She said while nibbling on her popcorn chicken.

Mara pat her on the back. "I am so proud of you, your finally learning to defend yourself and others." She said while fake sniffling and pretending to cry on Nicole's shoulder.

"Yeah….." Nicole replied as she got her friend off her shoulder, the others chuckling. Mara laughed and remembered something. "Uhh Chelsea?"

"Yeah?"

"Chelsea the hamster is dead."

"WHAT?"

….

The rest of the day went by pretty normally for the girls, and as the bell rang for the end of school, Nicole and Mara got their things and walked together towards their busses.

"Well this was an exciting little adventure we had. We beat the Joker, met Batman, lived in a mansion for awhile and even found out the Dark Knight's identity!" Mara said quietly to her friend as they walked.

"Yeah it was, but I can hold off on the adventure for awhile. Especially my leg and I am sure your arm." Nicole replied as Mara nodded and agreed. As they neared their busses Nicole looked across the road and could have sworn she seen a bat shaped figure watching them from a dark alley, and as soon as a car passed by, the shape was gone. Nicole smiled, seeing as she knew exactly who it was.

"What?" Mara asked as she saw Nicole grinning.

"I think I just saw a friend." Nicole answered as she was still smiling. Mara looked confused for a moment until she finally got it and grinned herself. They walked to their separate buses and as they went their separate ways to go home, a black clad figure watched from the roof of a building, smirking slightly and shot his grapple hook to the top of another building, swinging across the sky, ready to defend Gotham City and all the citizens of his home.

The End
