Hey guys here is the next chapter in this fic.
Chapter Nine
Wayne
A few days later…
Dr. Sanders had arrived in Smallville. He had seen how removed the place was and knew this was a great way to start his research, and what a way to start then Linda's home. He had made his way straight for the address arriving in front of the house which had a sign of ON SALE in front of it. IT seems that the people that were leaving the place that still attached them to their daughter.
He shook his head.
How could parents abandon their own child?
Dr. Sanders approached the house, making his way toward the back. If the records were corrects, one of the meteorites had landed near back here…
The doctor continued his trek, arriving by a little stream of water that divided to two lands and glanced around.
There it was.
It was the size of one's fist, with part glowing a bright green in the sunlight, and never before had he seen a so…strange. He picked the meteor rock up and placed it in a Ziploc bag.
He'll return to the labs and do some research on the rock and a few experiments also and then maybe he'll be able to find out its secrets.
"Hey,"
HE looked up at the noise. A man was there dressed casually and Dr. Sanders recognized him as Linda's father, having met the man briefly before. The man seemed to have recognized him also for his posture changed from cautious to tense.
"Hello again Mr. Franklin," Dr. Sanders said pleasantly, "You might remember me…"
"I remember," Mr. Franklin said curtly, "What are you doing here?"
"Collecting samples of meteor rocks," Dr. Sanders answered, "We're trying to find the cause that gives your daughter her abilities…"
"She is no daughter of mine," the man said, "Now please leave."
Dr. Sanders was shocked hearing this.
"Mr. Franklin…"
"I said leave or I will call the police for trespassing," Mr. Franklin said.
Dr. Sanders looked at him sadly and nodded, before walking off without another word.
Gotham University
"Hey Lara,"
"Barbara?"
"Is it alright that I talk to you alone?"
Lara glanced at her familiar companion, Cindy who raised her shoulders. It was a nice morning today, thought Lara had gotten there late again (something bad happened in Metropolis involving gangs) and she had wondered what the blonde wanted to talk about.
"Sure Barbara," Lara said nodding.
She followed the other girl out of the cafeteria, the two of them arriving at an empty hallway. She was curious about why Barbara wanted to be so secretive.
"Hey did you have the same homework as I do right?"
Lara stared at her, confused for a moment before catching on what Barbara was talking about.
"Yeah, what is it? You need help or something?"
"Yeah, I haven't got around to do it," Barbara admitted to her, "I've been real busy with my work…and I really need your help since it's due next class."
"Yeah okay, I'll help," Lara told her.
A look of relief crossed Barbara's face.
"Thanks, I'll appreciate it, can you come over my house later, so that you can help me?"
Lara paused, thinking it over a little, before nodding.
"Sure, I'll come over."
"Great, I'll see you later okay?"
"Yeah, great see you."
Later…
When their classes ended, Barbara Gordon picked Lara up, on her bike and drove her straight toward a large mansion that stood a little outside of Gotham city, making Lara's eyes grew wide.
"Wayne Manor," she whispered.
"Welcome to my home," Barbara told her as the back came to a stop in front of the Mansion.
"You're related to Bruce Wayne?"
"He adopted me after my father's death," Barbara told her as they walked inside the place, "Bruce doesn't spend a lot of time here since he is always busy with the Company and…er…other things."
Lara was glancing around the large hall which had a large chandelier hanging above them.
"Miss Gordon…you've brought a guess?"
Lara turned toward the voice.
An elderly man stood there, perfectly dressed with a small smile on his wise old face. The air around him felt like the air of a grandfather.
"Hello Alfred," Barbara answered, "Lara is this Alfred Pennyworth, and he is a butler. Alfred, Lara Kent a friend from school."
"Pleasure to meet you Alfred," said extending her hand.
"The pleasure is all mine, Mrs. Kent," Alfred told her, shaking the hand.
"Anything from Bruce Alfred?"
"He is out of the country, I am afraid," Alfred answered her kindly, But he left the things for you to take care of."
"Of course," Barbara said, "we will be in my room."
"Dinner will be ready at six," Alfred called as the two walked off.
Barbara's room was big, much bigger than Lara's own room back in Smallville. Barbara dumped her bag on the large bed as Lara glanced around.
"No one knows that Bruce Wayne adopted you?"
"I don't like to spread it around," Barbara answered her, "IF people knew…gosh, I'll never get a moment of peace."
"I'll bet," Lara answered her, "How about we get started?"
"Sure," Barbara told her, shrugging her shoulders.
The two worked on the project for the next two hours as Lara give Barbara pointer here and there, the two surprisingly found themselves enjoying each other's company more than they dared to admit. Lara herself was starting to have wondering thoughts about Barbara's personality, about how much of a great friend she was and also how smart the girl was. Other thoughts were well getting placed beyond the friend zone she was settling in with the other girl.
Barbara herself was starting to really confuse herself over the feelings she was getting for Lara and she was marveling herself again at how much the girl did resemble Supergirl.
"Lara, you have a phone?" she asked.
"Yeah," Lara answered smiling, "Want the number?"
Barbara nodded, "That way we can keep contact…you're leaving the school in a week since the class is almost over."
"Wow," Lara said, " It had been six months already?"
"Time fly," Barbara told her.
"It does, doesn't it?" Lara answered her, smiling at her.
She had pulled her phone out, handing it to Barbara.
"Woah, nice phone."
"A friend of mine got it for me," Lara told her.
"I'll bet," Barbara said typing the number in, "Here now you've got my number, and you can call me whenever you like."
But Lara froze, her super hearing picking up something, a low wearing sound… the distress sound from the Fortress.
"Lara, what is it?"
"I…I have to go, sorry Barbara," Lara said quickly gathering her stuffs, "Something I've got to do."
"What…?"
Lara looked at her.
"I'll see you at school okay?"
She headed straight out, and into the darkened streets of Gotham City before disappearing in a blast of super speed.
A distress call from the Fortress? What could it be?
