My Twisted DC World

Chapter 3

SIx years later:

       This isn't the first time I have tried to run away from Ra's Al Ghul. Normally by now he or someone from the League would have already caught me and I would already be in confinement getting ready to be beaten or tortured, or worse. But not this time, this time I have safely made it to Gotham. Granted, I am dressed as a ninja walking the dark streets but, I am safe in Gotham.

     Should I look for dad or since I'm in Gotham, maybe Uncle Bruce. I think to myself as I walk down the city street. I'll drop in on Uncle Bruce and let him know I'm alive. It's been 6 years since I have seen him, maybe he can. I started making my way across town to Wayne Manor.

       I walk down a dark alley and fly up to the roof tops to take in the sight of what is now Gotham. It's darker than I remember. A lot of activity is going on in the streets below Me. Men and women walking out of bars drunk. Some teenagers sneaking around the city to go party and have a good time. I watched amazed at the sight going on below me. At the age of 15, I can't even imagine Gotham being this crazy and full of spirit.

     "Are you lost?" A voice from behind me speaks up, nearly scaring me half out of my mind.

      I don't realize was even swinging a fist in the direction of the voice until the voices body dodges out of the way.

      "Don't you know it's rude to sneak up on people?" I ask as I realize what my action was and put my hand back to my side. I let out a sigh and turn to look the figure in the face. The eyes of the person are covered by a mask but he has black hair along with a black and blue suit. I start to speak up, "And who are you? Some kind of Batman knockoff? By the way, the names Cat."

      I see the eyes of the mask widen then narrow again.

      "I'm Nightwing."

        That's the only response I get. I stare at him for a long time. Every once in awhile I look at him from head to toe, then make eye contact again. Little did he know I was trying to read his mind without him knowing, to find out his identity.

      The silence was broken by a familiar voice. "Lydia Kent. There you are! I've been looking for you everywhere." That familiar voice belongs to my best friend K.T. She is also a super powered person. She was found by the League of Assassins and has trained with them for a long time. The two of us bonded and became best friends. When the League has an assignment the two of us normally go together.

      "Really K.T. My real name? We are in public, I'm Cat in public." I tell her looking all over for her. It's kinda hard to see he when she has, powers are flight, Invisibility and telekinesis. "Show yourself woman."

      K.T. appears behind Nightwing with a frown, "You know if Ra's and Lex found out you tried to run away again. You will never see the light of day." She tells me as she crosses her arms.

     I just stare at her then smile and say, "Fine I'll come back just give me a quick second ok." I nodded at her then turned back to Nightwing.

    Walking up to Nightwing I took a piece of paper out of the bag strapped around me, and wrote down my cell phone number. I hand him the number, "Can you tell my dad and Uncle Bruce I said hi. Oh, and Dick text me sometime. Bye" With that K.T. and I fly as fast as the two of us can, all the way back to the League's compound. The last thing that I remember hearing Dick say was, "Oh my god she's alive."

************

       As Dick watched K.T. and I fly off his mind was racing. He couldn't believe I still alive. He wanted to know why Ra's Al Ghul and Lex Luthor would be pissed off at the fact I ran away. How often do I run away? Most importantly, why did Lex and Ra's have me?
