Chapter Seven

Settling In

Before Lara knew it, three months have flown by and she had become accustomed to Gotham City and the school she frequented there. In those months, Supergirl's appearances had been starting to global making her fame grown as the caped super heroine.

She had also been talkative with the sleepy girl, Barbara Gordon thought Lara can only guess what would cause the girl to be so sleepy in class, and that it was almost a routine waking her up.

That is what her life is at the moment, smooth and easy sailing.

So, she was just about to head off home when the roar of a motorbike made her turn around.

"Hey Lara,"

"Barbara, what's up?"

The girl simply smiled, "Nothing just wanted to say hi before I left.

"Okay," Lara smiled, "Try not to stay up too late."

"Huh?"

Lara laughed at the expression on the girl's face, "Well, you keep falling asleep in class."

Barbara let out a chuckle, "I really do this a lot don't I?"

"Mostly every day."

"I hope I'm not a bother to you," Barbara told her.

"Trust me; it's the last thing on my list right now."

"Need a ride?" Barbara offered handing her a helmet.

Lara shook her head, "Someone is coming to pick me up soon anyway."

Barbara nodded.

"All right then, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Bye,"

The bike roared as the older girl took off into the streets. Lara watched her go, sighing a little. She really was starting to enjoy the girl's company and sometimes she wished she had a cell phone at least.

Maybe I could get Pa to buy one for me? she thought.

But that train of thought was interrupted when her super hearing picked up transmission about an fire that was ravaging a forest in Washington.

Sighing, she took off in super speed after it.

Later, Supergirl was flying through the sky with no real direction as to where she was going. Thought, lately, she seems to be flying about Gotham more than she dared to admit.

She stopped flying and simply hovers there. Sure she had a growing friendship with the Batgirl but that doesn't mean she was starting to feel something…

The girl of steel shook her head.

She was really starting to get confused with how her feelings were reacting lately and quickly made for the Fortress, landing there. She felt the scanner examining her before letting her in.

"Something the matter Leia-El?" Kal-El's voice asked her.

"I wanted to ask you something Father," she said.

"Any question you have I will answer it to the best of my abilities," her father's voice told her.

"During my training, you've told me I will be experiencing Kryptonian emotions," Supergirl said, "Are they that much different from Humans?"

"Kryptonians have control over their emotions, able to withhold pain and more, then many races across the Galaxy," Kal-El said, "thought most sees others races below them. Why?"

"I've been feeling a lot of strange feelings lately. I don't know whether it is from me or my Kryptonian heritage," Supergirl said, looking down.

"You are a Kryptonian Leia-El, no matter where you have been raised," Kal-El told her, "Emotions you are feeling are Kryptonian, yet you handle them similar to the Human race…as you have been raised. This could be the cause of your confusion."

Supergirl sighed, "This must be so."

She ran a hand through her raven black hair, looking toward the large House of El symbol that had been carved into the wall above her.

Daughter of Krypton and of the House of El, Supergirl thought to herself, After me, Krypton will be only a memory.

She turned around and walked out of the Fortress.

Barbara had just gotten home at the Wayne's Manor, and quickly headed off toward her room. Bruce was at a Wayne Enterprise meeting as she worked on her latest side project. Thought she find her mind turning toward Lara Kent.

She had wondered for quite a while why she had a déjà vu feeling with Supergirl, and now she know why. The girl of steel looked remarkably like Lara Kent. She had wondered if Lara was Supergirl, but she couldn't see Lara as Supergirl. Something just didn't fit with the profile. Also something about Lara…had picked her attention.

The girl was easily dismissed at first glance, wearing large clothes, so what was it that drew her in? or maybe she was confusing herself with how much Lara resembled Supergirl. Maybe it was Supergirl that drew her in?

Barbara put a hand on her forehead.

She was getting a headache, and she stood up.

Maybe a patrol of the city will help her clear her head.

STAR LABS

The doctor walked through the rows of cell arriving in front of a steel door.

LINDA FRANKLIN-504

The girl had the strangest mutation he had ever seen in his entire career, and she was half mad when they had brought her here almost four years ago. He entered the code and the heavy door swung open.

Inside, a blonde girl was seating against the wall, her head bowed but the doctor could see the sharps eyes studying him as he approached.

"Evening Linda,"

"Dr. Sanders," Linda answered him, her voice cold, "Do you need more blood?"

"No," Dr. Sanders answered, "We are still working with the one we took last week."

Linda then looked up at him and the doctor could see her entire face and he rubbed his hands together realizing the air suddenly become colder.

"Then, why the late night visit?"

Dr. Sanders took a seat on the silver chair and said.

"I'm going to ask you where you've gotten your mutation from. As far as we know, none of your family have the same abilities that you have."

"Family?" Linda scoffed, "I'm a freak to them…why else would they dump me here?"

"Linda…they are trying to help you…," Dr. Sanders started.

"Help me?" Linda repeated, "Do I look like I need any help?"

She had sprung from her seat, her skin turning blue as her eyes flashed. Then the metallic gloves she was wearing suddenly grew warm making her fall down on her knees.

"Linda, we are only trying to help you…and we can't if you won't let us," Dr. Sanders said to her.

The girl didn't say anything. The doctor sighed and stood up, knowing that he wasn't going to get any answer from the girl today. He made his way toward the door..

"Smallville," Linda's voice whispered.

He turned, "What?"

"Smallville, that's where I've gotten my powers," Linda told him, "Those green rocks…"

Dr. Sanders nodded and left the room.

Smallville, at least he had a place to look.

Yeah here it ends.

Jacques0 out.
