I remember seeing and old (1990's) Superman carton where Superman gets brain washed and attacks a military base and it got me thinking. Don't expect regular updates, but I promise that next chapter will give more information about what happened to get Kara into the shape she is in now. Please review or I will think no one is reading and I wont continue. Also if you don't like it then offer constructive criticism, or leave. As I told one of my friends once I write to make the voices in my head stop and for reviews. They are such a cheap ego buster.

Oh and I don't own the rights to any characters or recognizable items or fictional places in this story.

Warnings: Abuse, talk of abuse, talk of rape I think that's it if I missed something please let me know.

Chapter 1: Just One Night

Kara stumbled up the steps to the front door of the manor. She was soaked, her breathing was ragged and her entire body ached, but most of all she was terrified. Terrified that the one who hurt her would find her and bring her back. Luckily the front porch light was always on; she raised her hand trying to draw energy from it but only succeeded in gaining enough energy to get her breathing under control. She could not wait until the next morning when the sun would come up and she could get all the energy she wanted. She knocked on the door knowing that both of the house's occupants would be up at the late hour. After waiting only a few seconds she knocked again. It was so cold and raining she just wanted in. Not daring to speak just yet she grabbed the handle and much to her shock the door opened. She slipped in and looked around trying to find the person who had opened the door. Not finding anyone she shut and locked the door before calling out. "Bruce! Alfred!" She looked around the house was dimly lit and silent. Kara called again making her way to the silver closet and the bat cave. "Bruce? Alfred? Anyone? Please…" arriving at the silver closet she found the door to be closed but a quick twist of her wrist and push had the door open. After closing the door behind her she moved the revolving door and entered the top of the bat cave. "Hello," she called.

"Who there?" a voice answered from below.

"It's just me," Kara said rounding the final turn then stopping as she surveyed the room. "Kara, Kara Kent." She saw Batman leaning over a table covered with varies maps of the city, while Alfred dusted the other bat suits.

"Supergirl? Are you alone?" Batman asked walking around the table and up to her.

"Yes," Kara replied.

"How did you get in?" Alfred asked.

"The front door was open, and then I forced the silver door open."

"I'm sorry sir," Alfred said, "I was sure that door was locked. I'll go lock it now."

"I already did," Kara replied her teeth chattering from the cold.

"You're soaked," Batman replied, "Does Superman know you are here?"

"No," Kara answered, "we had a fight. I had to leave. Please let me stay the night here. I'll go in the morning. Please just one night. Please." Just one night, Kara thought. If I have one night of rest I will be ready to train with Kal-el tomorrow.

Batman started to say no but something about Kara tonight, the way her eyes seemed hollow, and full of terror and pain, stopped him. Before he could say anything, however, Alfred stepped up. "I think before any decisions are made Miss Kent needs a change of clothes."

"Yes Alfred, I agree. Kara, why don't you give Alfred your coat and I'll try and find something dry for you, ok?"

Kara simply nodded and peeled off her coat, revealing multiple bruises and cuts on both arms. Both men gasped "Kara what happened."

Kara hung her head in shame, "I couldn't keep up," she whispered.

"Keep up?" Batman asked taking her right arm to survey the damage. There were bruises on top of bruises and bruises of different ages all up the fifteen-year-old girl's arm. "Who did this?" he asked. She was kryptonion, as far as he knew the only things that could hurt her were kryptonite and other kryptonions. Her injuries did not look like she had been near kryptonite and the only other kryptoian on the planet was…

"It was my fault," Kara said breaking his thoughts. "I was not strong enough."

"Strong enough?" Alfred asked Kara just shivered leading Batman to believe that she might not simply be cold but be going into shock.

"Kara," Batman asked placing his hand on her shoulder, "did your cousin do this to you?" Kara flinched at the contact and nodded. He was shocked he had heard rumors that Superman had changed but never thought that he would be abusing his own cousin.

"Please," Kara begged, "please don't go after him. He will hurt you! Please stay away from him!"

Batman was stunned. Not go after him? How else was he going to help her? He had been planning on having Alfred treat her and put her to bed while he left to have words with Superman that night. But then, noticing her deathly pale face and now constant shivering, he changed is mind. She needed him now, Superman would have to wait. "Ok I won't go talk with him tonight. But you are going upstairs and let us treat you now. Deal?"

"You won't go after him tomorrow morning either?" Kara asked.

Batman shook his head, this girl was smart. "Fine, now go upstairs with Alfred I'll be up in a minute."

"Come miss," Alfred said, "let us get you warmed up." Kara nodded and allowed her self to be guided by Alfred up the stairs and into a warm guest room.
