Supergirl 

I have never been to Gotham before but I have to say that it is not the nicest of places to go to. In the daytime, it is gloomy and you hardly ever see the sun come up. The same attitude it taken by the citizens, as they are just as gloomy and dull as the streets around them. At night however, the streets come alive with drug dealers, gangs, petty criminals and of course, Arkham inmates. 

If you were planning a nice trip or even a holiday here, then think again. You are more likely to die here than you are to have a good time. Why anyone even lives in this city astounds me. It is worse than any place we had back on Argon or even Krypton. And that is saying something to be honest. 

Barbara had a plan, apparently but whether it worked or not was another matter. Alfred Pennyworth was Batman's servant... no butler is a better word. He looks after the house and keeps Batman on track with both of his lives. When Batman was first starting out, Alfred helped to coordinate Batman's movements from the Batcave. He was Batman's eyes in the sky. 

Barbara had asked him to help us out by co-ordinating our team from the cave to save one of us having to stay behind, when every set of hands would be needed to recapture the inmates.  

"Batgirl, are we ready to go yet?" I asked. She had been looking at the security cameras for what seemed like hours. I may have been good at technology back on my planet but here it wasn't as advanced and still confused me, so I was having to wait whilst Batgirl and Robin searched through footage. 

"Yeah, we can go now. We know approximately where Riddler, Scarecrow, and Joker will be. Riddler wasn't even hard to find, he is back in his usual hideout. Scarecrow has multiple old labs around Gotham. He will be in one of those, I am certain of it. Joker can't hide to save his life so we just have to keep a watch out for some of his goons or anything suspicious. If we find Joker then we find Harley too. However, Killer Croc could be anywhere in the sewers and is less likely to cause as much harm as the other criminals. We will definitely need help to handle him. Then there is Poison Ivy..." she trailed off as a concerned look crossed her features. I wonder what her connection is to this Poison Ivy person. 

"Come on you two. I want to go catch some bad guys." Robin yelled as he ran across the room to a red and yellow bike. It was obviously his bike. I mean honestly who else would have a bike red and yellow. 

I hovered off the ground and as I was about to follow I had an idea. "Grab my hand and I can give you a ride." I smiled and Batgirl grinned at the prospect. She held my hand and I flew out the cave and towards Gotham City. 

In case you didn't know, Batman's house isn't actually in the city. It is hidden away on the outskirts on top of a hill. Forests full of life grow all around it and hide the cave from view. If anyone had a brain they would've been able to have figured out his identity years ago. I thought it was pretty funny to be honest. 

Batgirl was next to me, her midnight black cape rippling out behind her and a smile of ecstasy on her face. She was obviously enjoying herself. I know I did when I first flew.  

Superman had to hold my hand because I kept getting distracted by normal human objects that I hadn't seen before in my life. Clarke thought it was pretty funny but after falling from the sky one too many times, he had decided that I desperately needed help flying. Then again it is not a normal thing to us Kryptonians, flying.  

"Kara is something the matter?" Barbara asked from beside me. She looked concerned and I realised that tears were flowing down my cheeks. 

"I don't want to lose him too Barbara. He is the only family I have left." I said wiping away my tears with my only free hand as I was still holding Barbara's hand and letting go of her would not be a good idea. 

"You won't lose him. He is the strongest hero out there. He can look after himself and others all at the same time." Batgirl said confidently. 

"You're right! I am just being silly." I said and she laughed, "How about we try to race Robin. Beating him would cheer me up in no time." 

She nodded enthusiastically and I increased the speed so that we easily caught up with Robin. Batgirl waved down at him and I saw, using my x-ray vision to see through his helmet, that he was shocked to see Batgirl flying. I grinned at him and we sped off towards the tallest building in Gotham- Wayne Industries. 

Two minutes after we landed, I saw Robin grappling his way to the top of the building. He was so slow, it made me laugh. 

"What's the plan then?" I asked as soon as Robin landed next to me. Batgirl turned to us and told us that we would cover the city and look for the criminals. I would be able to provide assistance to whoever found a criminal. We had decided that we would not go it alone with them as they were way too unpredictable.  

I had been given a small radio that fit in my ear so that we could contact one another. We were about to set off when we saw the Bat-signal go off. Great, I thought, just what we needed. 

The Bat-signal had been a gift from Batman to the Commissioner. Batgirl had explained that Batman had given it to the Commissioner as a sign of trust to the police, showing that he would work with them and not against them. It was also a sign to Gotham that there was someone out there who would protect them and be there to help whenever needed. 

"Better go see what they want." Batgirl said, and before they could fire their grappling hooks, I had grabbed both Batgirl's and Robin's hands and started to fly towards the Police Department. Robin was smiling from ear to ear and I guessed that he was enjoying the flying as much as Batgirl was. 

We arrived quickly at the Police Department and I saw three people on the roof. I knew one of them was going to be the Commissioner, but who the other two were I had no idea. 

I bet they were expecting Batman to come and maybe one or both of his partners. But seeing me would be such a surprise. I can't wait to see their faces.
