New Chances - (Nightwing x OC)

Chapter 1

POV KAYLA 

Present Day

Tuesday - 7.30 am

'Ugh! Why!'  I thought as I mustered up the strength to stop my alarm clock.

School. The highlight of my life! ...my ass.

I pulled myself up and out of my bed and went over to my closet. I grabbed my clothes for today, my towel and headed towards the bathroom. I turned on the hot water and relaxed as it fell down my body. This moment was probably going to be the most relaxing part of my day. 

I got myself out of the shower. Second hardest thing I've had to do today, and it's only 7:30. I got dressed into my ripped denim jeans, over-sized jumper and black lace up boots. I pulled my hair up into a top bun and pulled a few pieces out. I finished getting ready, grabbed my bag, grabbed some food and left. Nice and quick as it should be. 

Kristy and Rob were nice. I mean, they took me in when no one else would. But as time went on, they didn't care as much. After the death of my parents, I was only ever grateful and never wanted anything. However, I grew up and I guess the young girl they adopted became nothing more than a burden. That's when I decided that I would spend more time out of the house than in it. That way, there weren't any awkward situations.

3rd Period. Half way through the day. God help me.

I go to Shore Dock Collage. I didn't have many friends. I was more of the type of person, who was friends/acquaintances with everyone. I made a quick visit to my locker to swap around my books. 

"Heyyyyyy Kayyyyyyyyy" 

Shit. Ethan. What else could make this day go any longer.

"Hi." I continued to swap my books. "Are you gonna keep staring, or are you gonna talk to me?" 

"You're feisty, alright! I wanted to know if you had an answer to my question yet?" 

This again?

Not. In. The. Mood. 

I sighed. "Look Ethan. I don't want to go out with you. There are plenty of other girls here that would die for you to take them out. Ok?" With that, I locked my locker, and went to class.

I wonder how many times Ethan has been told no, in his life. Spoiled Brat

xXx

Finally, lunch time.

I sat down with some friends. It was nice just casually talking, but then Brynn had to go and call over to some guys. Like,  I just have one question. WHY? On top of that, Ethan was with them. 

"Well, there goes a perfectly good, relaxing lunch" Miranda spoke up. Miranda was the only one in the group who didn't speak any bullshit and was actually down to Earth. She was hilarious too. 

Everyone was talking, laughing and cheering. Ugh. Again, I ask why? They were currently in the middle of a game of Truth or Dare, and with my luck it was my turn.

"Kayla. Truth or Dare?"

"Truth"

"Okkkkk. Why won't you go on a date with our boy Ethan over here?" 

"Because I don't want to."

"Why not?" 

"I'm pretty sure that on my turn. you only get to ask one truth question" I retorted.

"No really. Why?" Brynn asked.

I sighed, making it clear that I was getting annoyed. "Because, I don't have time for someone that is so self-centered and who won't even try to learn something about someone. Now if you'll excuse me."

I got up and left. I could hear some of the girls agreeing with me. I didn't really care, all I knew is that today had been one trying day. 

xXx

School was finally out and I was making my way home. I was walking past an alley, when I heard a scream. It sounded as if it was from a teenage girl. Yep. I was right. I looked down the alley to see a girl being attacked by some guys. All  teenagers. 

"Hey! You guys got a problem?" I shouted.

"Why don't you just run along sweetheart? You aren't needed here." One of the kids replied.

"Nah, I think I am."

The two kids looked at each other then the smaller one came at me. He tried to punch me in the head. I swerved out the way as he recovered. He tried again, this time aiming for my stomach. I caught his fist and pulled his arm behind him, throwing him up against the brick wall. The other kid came at me, definitely with more strength than the other had. I blocked his attacks. However, I missed the one to the ribs. Shit, that's gonna bruise. I recovered as fast as I could. I grabbed his head and threw it down towards my thigh. They met, causing him to back up to gain his balance. I did it again causing him to trip onto the ground. He was out cold. The other was in too much pain to care. I walked over to the girl and asked if she was okay. She thanked me as I told her that she wouldn't be bothered anymore. I walked her home, just to be safe. She'd lost her house keys, so when her mum answered the door, she was a little concerned. I explained everything. I was offered to stay for a bit, but kindly declined.

xXx 

It was about 9.00 pm and I decided that I'd get dressed to go out on patrol. It was something I did as I got older. Mainly to prevent an event like the murder of my parents, happening to anyone else. I also used the time to search for the thugs who killed them. They were never found, leaving my parent's murder case unsolved. I left out the window. Careful to leave it unlocked for when I came back later. I climbed down the ladder that was near my window. 

As I walked I planned where I was going to go. However the first stop was clear.

The two kids from earlier today sounded like a good idea.
