This is my first fan fiction, hope you enjoy it :>
It's been two years since I,Barbara Gordan, became Batgirl, a crime fighting vigilante. And half a year since my best friend Dick Grayson became Nightwing and moved to Bludhaven from Gotham. The bat family also had a new member, a new robin, Jason Todd. He is kind of an impetuous person, he does things before he thinks, but he does have a kind soul.
Even though my best friend is in a different city, we still talk everyday through the phone.
"Hiya barb, whatcha doing?"
"Gaming. Zombie Apocalypse 5. I'm on level 67." I didn't mean to be cold to him, but I was, for no reason. Well maybe the cause of his new girl, Zatanna. She's powerful, pretty, full of confidence, and all I'm insecure about. But I feel happy for Dick to find such a wonderful person."Did anyone say Zombie Apocalypse 5!?" Jason rushed into the batcave. I introduced him to this game two months ago and he was addicted to it like I was.
"You wanna play together?" I asked him sincerely.
"Of course. I'm already on level 62..."
"Wonderful. Bye nightwing, we'll talk later."It's not like I'm avoiding him, but he has different friends, a beautiful girlfriend and awesome teammates. All I have is my father and the bats.
"Okay..." Nightwing said. I could hear his voice with a glimpse of disappointment. "Nightwing got ditched by the best friend!" Kid flash yelled.
"Shut up Wally."
"Just go to your girlfriend bro. Zatanna's in the kitchen with miss M." Artemis added.
"Made me want a cookie. Well, bye." Nightwing said and hung up.Jason was a funny little brother to me. He always makes up jokes, which aren't bad. And we both love games. We always play board games before patrol. Even my therapist says that my depression was getting better, not good, but better.

Something interrupted the game, and the alarm was ringing.
"The sensor sensed something coming to the batcave. Get ready for attack, robin."
"Way ahead of you, batgirl." Robin said, putting on his mask and holding onto batarang.It's the red cape, Superman, and a blonde girl in his arms. "Where's Batman." He asked.
"Bruce is in the company, I'll help you call him." I answered quickly. I got on the coms and called Bruce Wayne, aka the Batman.
"Batman says he is coming back now." I told Superman. He laid the blonde hair girl on the medic bed. She was still unconscious.After Bruce came back to the batcave, he had a chat with Superman, privately, where Jason and I were definitely not listening. We 'accidentally' overheard them.
"I found her today in a solitary fortress. They were holding her captive. It's been three months since she had seen the sun and was held captive since her pod landed on earth."
"So you barged in and rescued her. Ruined The Justice League's reputation."
"She's my cousin Bruce. My last relative from Krypton."
Bruce turned around and saw Jason and I eavesdropping."We'll discuss this later. Batgirl and Robin can take her to the roof for a little solar power." We both got the 'bat glare'.
"Sure... Come on BG." Jason said and turned to the blonde girl.
Jason held her legs and I held her arms. We entered the elevator and went straight up to the roof.We laid her down on the floor, and I holded her head for support. As the warm sun shone on her skin, she started regaining strength. Her eyes were opening slowly. She had beautiful blue eyes like the ocean. Kind of jealous because my eyes are always tired from playing video games. I don't regret it though.
"Who...wha... Who are you!And where am I?" She yelled.
"I'm Batgirl, and he's Robin." I replied. She probably doesn't know what I'm saying since we're both wearing casual clothes. "And you are currently in Gotham City! The beautiful place where criminals dress as clowns and themed green... haha..." I said sarcastically.
"Babs..." Jason stared at me and elbowed me as I made the new girl confused."I'm just joking. Your cousin Kal-el is in the house, talking to our mentor. Probably discussing what to do with you." I told her.
"Huh? But Kal is just a baby... How can he talk?" She said, nervously.
"I arrived on earth many years before you did, Kara. And I became one of the heroes of Earth." Superman's voice came behind the girl.
"Kal... I was sent to protect you, but you have grown as an adult now... Now I have no purpose..."
"I know it's a hard fact that you need to process. I can bring you to the kents. The nice couple that raised me..."
"Maybe later."
Well that shocked me, what had shocked me even more is when she said she's staying with Batgirl. Which is me.
"I..."
"Batgirl gladly accepts your offer,"Jason replied. I gave him the bat glare. "Yes... I'm all okay with it. But we must stay here, the mansion is more comfortable than my house. I'll tell my father that I'm having a sleepover." I smiled, and stared at Jason again."Kal, I don't know what I want now, but I have time, since you don't need my protection. I just wanna stay here for a while, and see the world. Starting with the clowns Batgirl mentioned."
"Sure, I'll come again in a month. Then I'll bring you to the kents."
"Okay Kal."
The son of krypton turned away and headed back to Metropolis. Batman went back to the company, leaving Alfred in charge. Alfred greeted the blonde kryptonian with chocolate chip cookies. She fell in love with them.
"So um... Let me introduce myself again. I'm Jason Todd, and the second Robin. You can call me Jason" Jason introduced himself again, playing cool.
"I'm Kara Zor-el. The last daughter of Krypton. You can call me Kara."
"I'm Barbara. Welcome to earth." I said. Even though it was quite emotionless, but I'm tired and I don't care. I took Kara to Sweet Justice, where sweet desserts are sold, and we had sleep over ,playing video games and introducing earth.That night was quite peaceful. No clowns or green themed villains causing chaos. And I told Dick all about it the next day, about what he missed in Gotham.
"See? Making friends isn't that bad."
"Humans are mostly terrible, but some aren't so bad."
"Yes! And, you can meet more nice people, join the team Babs I beg youuu."
"I'll consider it. Goodnight."
"Goodnight."Thank you for reading
