Laura went to the bus station and the boy followed her and just before she got into the bus, he said:

"We can't  go to Gotham."- Conner  

"We , who?" - Laura

"We can't go to Gotham. It's not safe. "- He said

"So you want to stay here waiting for them to come and get us ?"-  Laura said

" No ."- He said 

" So ..."- Laura 

"Let's go."-  the driver said

"I've already called for help."-  He said, cradling his communicator 

Laura took the communicator from the boy's hand and without much effort she broke him in half.

"Let's go."-  Laura said as she climbed up onto the trail, followed by the boy

She snuggled into the window, with an accent, deep in the bottom, and the boy sat next to her. She wondered if she should introduce herself, but she knew the boy shouldn't know .But then a voice came in her head, it was the voice of her  father, speaking to her at least his voice was there.

"My name is Laura ... by the way. If you still wanted to know that. "- Laura said looking at the window

Silence took over the place,  leaving them both inside a bubble. Then the boy's thick, masculine voice broke the silence.

"My name is Conner." - He said

"At least it  isn't an old man's name." - Laura

"What?" - Conner asked with a small laugh out of his lips

"At least it's not an old man's name." - Laura

"And what would be an old man's name?" - Conner

"Epaminondas." - Laura

"Hahahahaha."-  Conner started to laugh a little wildly

Laura gave a small laugh, it seemed that the energy between them had stayed, a little more lighter, the subjects on which they began to become more and more relaxed.

"Sorry to disturb you."- Laura said

"What ?" - Conner

"You probably won't be able to get back to your house for a while, until Hydra's agents came out of our asses, I didn't want to put anyone in the middle of my problems." - Laura

"Relax, it's going to be okay. But why are they after you? "- Conner

"Well ... it's not a pretty story." - Laura

Laura had already realized that he had powers, he seemed to be interested in her powers, and somehow she knew she could, run away or end up killing her, her Adamantium claws never failed her.

"I was made in a Hydra laboratory ... my father ... he was kind of a super hero ... and I ... I'm his clone, designed to kill him and replace him ... but I didn't want that anymore for me, so when I found him, my father ... Logan gave me a chance to be something better ... so when he died I decided to stop the people who created  me so this wouldn't happen again. "- Laura said in a very serious tone

She looked at Conner, he looked puzzled, looked almost out of his mind, she didn't know what she had said , that was so wrong that he had his eyes widenned  and biting his lower lip.

"Of course I must be in another dimension ... I remember falling into a vortex, I thought it might be temporal, but ... no ... I'm in another dimension." - Laura said

They keepeed talking and  the clock  seemed to have stopped ,  Laura looked out of the window, they were  already in a city, very similar to New York or even to Chicago, it was an ordinary big city.

"We're here."-  They heard the collector yell from the front of the ladder

They got out of the mess and then went inside the buss station where they were, it was crowded, Conner followed Laura going against the flow of people.

"I think we can get to the base of my team ..." - Conner began to say

Before Conner could say anything, Laura glanced over Conner's shoulder and flipped up at  six black-clad guys heading toward them.

" I don't think so ."- Laura 

" What ?"- Conner

"We have company." - Laura said

 Conner turned and the men in black began to shoot, towards  them all the people around ,  began to run and the two sheltered behind an information desk.

"You get the ones on the left and I get the ones on the right." - Conner said

The two of them jumped in their position, Laura noticed that Conner had in his red S-robes, in the middle of his chest, they should have found them both because of this S.

But she concentrated, they fought very well , Conner concentrated on defending himself , and Laura  didn't kill all the men who came in her direction just knocked them out , so after knocking them out, he turned to Laura.

She was also fighting, but he could  only see the last man standing with a shot gun, shooting Laura's shoulder, which didn't seem to have hurt her that much , she  picking up the gun barrel and using it as a cane she  the knock the man out  .

Laura looked at Conner and they ran out of the station and into the first dark alley they could see.

"Are you okay?" - Conne asked

" Yes, I'm fine . "- Laura said

"You just got shot."-  Conner said

"And how am I?" - Laura said from her shoulder-blouse, where the man had thrown her

And her shoulder was intact , as if nothing had scratched her shoulder, so before they could get out of the alley, someone appeared by their side.

A girl in a latex outfit, Laura could see her badly , because of her guiding vision that the sunset had already made Gothan darker.

"Who are you?"-  Laura asked

"Catwoman. I saw what you did, it was quite a fight. "- She said

"We don't want your help."-  Conner said

" Ohh you know each other that's cute ."- Laura 

" No , we don't ."- Conner 

"Wait may be a good idea, we have nowhere to stay." - Laura said

"And clearly you, don't want to ask for help for the bit bat." - She said

With reluctance Conner soothed and went along with Laura, they form up a penthouse apartment in the city.

"Is this your house?" - Conner

"More or less."-  She said

Conner immediately saw the portrait of a family with four people, then turned around and said: 

"Do you really have no other place?" - Conner

"Hey we already have  a roof over our heads today." - Laura

"Clearly, I could see that she's the smart one of you two." - Catwoman

"Can we stay here this  night?" - Laura

"Yes." - Catwoman
