Hello everyone. here is the next chapter, Enjoy.

Chapter Three

Gotham

Gotham City

It was a nice morning in Gotham. The peoples were on their way to work, store where openings, and a news paper guy was putting up a stand with tabloids looking forward to a new day.

That is, until a gust of wind blazed past, throwing all of this newspaper and tabloids in the air. The strange gust of wind even knocked the guy off his feet.

The dazed man looking around, not knowing what just happened.

"I'm going to be late…again," Lara said, super speeding through the streets of Gotham, arriving in front of the University coming to a stop, checking her watch.

9:05.

It took her two minutes to get from Canada to Smallville to Gotham. Sighing, Lara made her way toward her class, and entered the room.

"Late again Mrs. Kent?" the teacher, Martin said, "Now let's continue from where we were before the interruption."

Lara took her seat in the class in a huff.

She had been coming to the school for the past six weeks already and she was still adjusting to her class and going to school again. Back in Smallville, Lara was someone that nobody noticed or simply ignored. She had best friend Chloe to work on her growing powers, and also she had Diana. So far, she had decided to do the same thing here like wearing some big clothes over her well toned body and sneakers, thought something she wore them in the signature red and blue. She had stuffed the Supergirl cape at the bottom of the outfit so if anyone ever looked, all they would seen was the bottom of the bag. The suit was underneath her clothes.

She smiled to herself when the teacher gives them a break, and she left the room, making her way toward the cafeteria where many students hung out simply to talk and they were a large TV that was hung on the wall at the far end of the room, giving mostly news. She seated at one table after getting her food and caught wind of what they were giving on the news.

"Once again, Supergirl had given a hand on a developing disaster here in Canada. She had appeared out of the nowhere and saved the lives of about seventeen peoples…"

"Here she goes again," one of the student said, "Another Supergirl save in Canada, stopping that large fire."

"Wonder why she never made an appearance in Gotham?" another student asked.

A boy laughed, "Gotham is Batman's territory. He won't let anyone work on his turf."

Lara decided to tune them out. She hadn't had any contact from the Justice League ever since the big throw down against Lex Luthor and Deathstroke. Thought she wasn't as famous as the League was, they had been here for at least five years while she on the other hand had only been here for a few months.

"Hey,"

Lara looked up at the voice. A girl was there with a smile on her lips. She has blonde hair with brown eyes.

"Hello," Lara answered uncertainly.

"You're Lara Kent right?" the girl said

"Yeah…who are you?"

"I'm Cindy Thompson," the girl told her, "We've got the same class this morning with Martin."

"Oh." Lara said.

"You don't mind if I…?" Cindy indicated the empty seat.

"Not at all," Lara told her.

Cindy seated down nodding, "not that I am against you and all what's with the bright colors?"

"Sort of a habit," Lara answered her, "Did it since high school."

"Guess it's not only Supergirl who likes the old red and blue," Cindy told her laughing a little.

Lara gulped a little, "Yeah…I guess."

"So what brings you to Gotham…apart from school?"

"Mostly school," Lara told her, "But…how did you know I wasn't born here?"

"Gotham's people are more alert if there is a way to explain it," Cindy told her.

"Oh!," Lara said, now curious, "Why is that?"

"Gotham City didn't always have Batman," Cindy told her, "Back then, crime ruled this city. My mother used to be scared of letting me go to school."

"Guess Batman changed that," Lara said.

"Yep, he did," Cindy told her.

AT that moment the bell rang.

"See you after class okay Lara,"

"Yeah, sure."

Later around eight, Lara was leaving the school walking off campus so that she could super speed home when noise of fighting reached her ears. Thinking someone was in trouble, she super speed toward the noises, finding a couple of guys fighting…

Lara blinked again.

It was a girl, dressed similar to the Batman. With the cap, the cowl mask and she even have the pointed ears. Lara wondered who she was and wondered if the girl worked for the Batman.

She's good, she thought when the girl dropped the last guy.

The Batgirl approached one of the groaning man on the floor, took him by the collar of his clothes and said, "Where is Two-Face?"

Her voice was menacing and angry.

"He…He…never told us anything…I swear to God…"

"Swear to me," Batgirl growled at him.

"I don't know anything… I swear," the man said now sounding close to crying.

Batgirl knocked him out with a single hit. Then she stood up and simply flew straight off the ground, disappearing into the night.

Lara had already left the area.

Batcave

Batgirl arrived on her motorcycle, coming to a stop beside the Batmobile. She stepped off of it, her outfit still in place as she walked up the stairs finding Batman there.

"I will be out of Gotham," he said.

"A Justice League mission?"

"Yes," he said, not turning around.

"I'll keep an eye on Gotham for you then," Batgirl said.

"Make sure you do," Batman said walking off.

Batgirl stared after him and whispered.

"Good night Bruce."

Lara came to a stop in front of her house in Smallville, and she entered the house coming to a stop noticing Ma Kent cooking.

"Hey Ma, smell good."

"I'm glad," Ma answered, "I'm making your favorite."

"I can tell," she smiled at her mother, before glancing around the living room, "Where is Pa?"

"Check the fields, tell him dinner will be ready in a few."

Lara nodded before heading out, making her way toward the barn finding Pa Kent carrying haystack toward his truck, thought he was doing it with some difficulty.

"You shouldn't be working you know that Pa," Lara called to him.

"Just think I should start on those before you arrive," Pa Kent answered her.

Lara took the haystack from him and said, "Let me take care of those for you alright?"

Pa Kent let out a heavy sight, making Lara look at him.

"What is it Pa?"

The man sighed again, "It's just…I hate not being able to work on my own farm. I spend all my life working this place. I feel like I'm suffocating when I'm not working."

Lara approached him, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Dad, it's not like I don't know how you feel," she said.

Pa Kent smiled at her.

"I'm sure with your many abilities."

"Yeah, I'm always holding back so that I don't accidently break someone's bone," she said. Then she turned toward him and said, "Why don't you head back inside? Ma said dinner should be ready and let me clear up here."

"Sure."

He walked off toward the house and Lara set off to work.

Yeah, another chapter down... twenty something more to go.
