PREQUEL- The Birds Of Prey: Batgirl (Batman Fanfic)

Chapter 14: Adding to the family

I wake feeling quite cold, my wet hair sticks to my neck, each breath in burns my chest, I realize that there is a mask covering my face. Someone had taken off the outer layers of my armour so I was just wearing the black undersuit. The main component of my cowell had been taken off, leaving me with the front portion which covers my face and attaches at the collar of the suit.

I open my eyes and sit up, moving the mask off from my face. "Easy now" comes the voice of Robin. I can see dried blood on his face but other than that he seemed fine.

I glance away from him to the surrounding but then instantly look back, I must be in the hub for Batman and Robin. It is by far the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life.

"Come with me" he takes me by the arm, for support, and leads me up some metal staircases by a cascading waterfall. 

We get to what I assume is the main area, here is where I see the girl lying unconscious with a drip in her arm which glows green. Batman types away furiously at a computer. I take back what I thought earlier, this computer is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. It can only be described as being a supercomputer and I was itching to get my hands on.

"Welcome to the Batcave" said Robin as he sat me down in a chair near the girl. She was very pretty with a muscular physique much like my own, she looks as if she might be a little taller than me. Her blonde hair is also wet and hangs to her waist. I look for any hint of red beneath her closed eyelids but find nothing.

"I've spoken to Superman. He'll be on his way soon" Batman says. My mouth hangs open, Superman is coming here? I am going to meet the actual Superman, in the flesh. I struggle to keep myself from passing out again.

"So you're sure she's Kryptonian?" asks Robin.

"Positive. Her powers are similar enough to Supermans and her body responds to Kryptonite in the same way" Batman sounds so exhausted but he battles through his pain and fatigue.

"So what are the next steps?" 

"The only person I know with any experience with something like this is Superman. He can look at her ship it might be similar to his own" I have no clue what they are on about so I keep quiet and look back at the girl. If she was the same as Superman then what was she doing here? 

"She seemed to have no control over her powers at all, like she didn't even know that she had powers" I say, thinking back to how she had flailed and thrashed around as if not realizing what, exactly her body could do.

"What did Superman say about his powers, again?" asks Robin.

"His powers developed over time, not until he reached puberty and they came in staggered not all at once like she did. I can't really say, Superman, will know what's best. This is out of my hands" Batman sighed, standing up and walking towards me.

"How do you feel?" he shone a light in my eyes passing it from left to right.

"It is a little difficult to breathe" She felt as if someone were sitting on her chest, not allowing much oxygen in.

"Keep this mask on" he presented me with another oxygen mask whilst Robin pulled up a chair next to me and handed me a warm towel which I gladly wrap around me.

"You've certainly changed a lot since we last met. You did good" he offered me a familiar smile that made me feel warm on the inside, which I try and return from behind the oxygen mask.

His gaze was so intense that I had to look away, this way I could also take in more of the incredible space. I chat comfortably with Robin for a little while as we wait for Superman to come. It does not take long before I hear a sound in the distance, it echoes around the cave. There was a large gust of wind which disturbs the water in the cave, showering me with water which Robin tries to shield me from with his cape.
