Return

"Mcginnis, concentrate." Bruce ordered the new Batman through the com-link. The young Batman was only 17, a rebellious age.

Disgruntled, Terry retorted, "Easy for you to say when you're not patrolling for the second night in your life. It's nearly midnight and I have school tomorrow, not that you care anyway."

"Mcginnis."

"Alright, old man. Keep your hair on. I just want someone else to alleviate my burden slightly."

Just as Bruce opened his mouth, the Batcomputer flashed a message on the screen. "UNCLE BRUCE, HI."

"Wayne?"

"Quiet, Mcginnis." Bruce typed back "Isabel?" into the computer.

"YES, I AM IN GOTHAM. MEET ME IN BATCAVE TMR MORNING." After a slight while, another message appeared. "BETTER UPGRADE THE SECURITY SYSTEM." Bruce smirked. Isabel was still the same arrogant girl 8 years ago.

"Mcginnis, come back to the Batcave as Batman tomorrow. There is someone I would like you to meet."

"Sure, Wayne." Terry could imagine Bruce introducing old pals or boring comrades to him and wished he could go out with Dana instead.

Bruce went back to his room and opened his drawer, finding his collection of Selene items. A lot had happened during these 8 years. Superboy, Connor (another project of Cadmus) was introduced into Clark's family. He was a clone of Superman so he was as stubborn and innocent as his father. He, 19 years old, was also Isabel's big brother as Cadmus quickened his growth to be older than her. From what Clark and his ex-protégés told him, Superboy and Supergirl met each other a couple of times during patrol.

Bruce had followed Selene's progress as a superstar by buying her CDs, posters. He picked up her recent album and looked at the cover. Selene was attractive to every male and female. Her growing maturity never lessened her natural innocence. All of her songs came from her heart. Her songs in recent albums were about independence of teens and there was one recent love song called "Mary's Song" which was presumably about Green Arrow, Daniel.

She said, 'I was seven and you were nine
I looked at you like the stars that shined
In the sky, the pretty lights'

'And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
Growing up and falling in love
And our momma smiled and rolled their eyes'

And said, 'Oh, my, my, my'

Take me back to the house in the backyard trees
Said you would beat me up, you were bigger then me
You never did, you never did

Take me back when our world was one lot bad
I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
Just two kids, you and I, oh, my, my, my, my

Well, I was sixteen when suddenly
I wasn't that little girl you used to see
But your eyes still shined like pretty lights

And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
They never believed we really fall in love
And our momma smiled and rolled their eyes

And said, 'Oh, my, my, my'

Take me back to the creek that's reaching dark
Two A.M, riding in your truck
Yet all I need is here next to me

Take me back to the time we had our very first fight
Slamming our doors instead of kissing goodnight
You stayed outside 'til the morning light, oh, my, my, my, my

Bruce hated that song as he could feel the sweet voice of Isabel singing for Daniel, the playboy's son. He often worried that he wasn't the one for her. However, Isabel seemed to enjoy his company greatly and even worked with him as a team for some time.

For a long time, he tried desperately to convince her to come back to the Wayne Mansion. Yet she refused and explained that she wanted to find the heroine in herself alone. Undoubtedly, Selene's career flourished and Supergirl grew stronger without his or Clark's help. Eventually, Bruce went to sleep in his chair with a rare smile on his wrinkled face.

When Bruce woke up, he found a warm blanket around him.

"Hi, Uncle Bruce!" Isabel wrapped her arms around Bruce and squeezed tightly.

When Isabel released her grip, Bruce took a good look at her. Isabel had grown so much. She was much taller and had a much more womanly figure. Her hair grew longer and sleeker. Her bright blue eyes still shone dazzlingly. Bruce frowned in disapproval when he saw that she wore mini-shorts which covered up to her thighs.

"I knew you wouldn't like them." Bruce grunted in reply.

Bruce asked, "Did you contact Clark or Connor?"

"Well… I didn't tell them exactly where I was because I knew they would stop whatever they were doing and rush to see me. I just told them that I was moving away from my old apartment near the Titans Tower. By the way, you have a new Batman now."

"Curious? No peeking though."

There is a soft 'beep' on the Batcomputer, signaling Terry's return. Isabel immediately changed to her Supergirl costume and mask. Before long, Isabel and Terry met for the first time in their costumes.

Bruce stepped between them and introduced, "Supergirl, Batman. Batman, Supergirl."

Terry stared at the teen girl in front of him. He saw the slim figure, glossy hair and well-framed face and whistled.

Bruce glared at Terry and warned, "Manners."

Supergirl giggled and said, "I think I like the new Batman already."

Terry said sarcastically, "Old man, you never mentioned that you knew Supergirl."

Bruce replied coolly, "It's none of your business. Supergirl, how long will you be staying?"

"Until…*ring* Sorry." Supergirl ran to the corridor and talked to Green Arrow.

"Hi, Daniel. I'm in Gotham. Don't worry. I'll be fine. Miss you too…" Terry saw Bruce's eyes narrow in disgust.

"What?! Don't like her boyfriend?"

Bruce muttered under his breath, "I would take you over that Arrow boy anytime."

Supergirl returned, clutching her mobile close to her chest. "I see you're still with that kid."

Supergirl defended her lover immediately, "He's no kid! Besides, I know that you sent your old partners, Uncle Dick and Tim to spy on me. It's not like you didn't know."

"I know about you working with the Titans while frolicking around with that ridiculous leader."

"Frolicking?! Do not insult me! I can separate business from my lif…"

"OK… feeling extremely awkward." Terry shielded himself from the quarreling couple.

Bruce cleared his throat and said with forced calm, "So, why have you come back?"

"Just missed you…" Bruce knew that the girl was lying but decided to find out on his own.

"Does that mean I can skip patrolling tonight?"

"No." Supergirl saw the new Batman sigh and followed him outside.

"Want company?" Batman and Supergirl sat in the Bat-jet, with Batman steering the wheel.

"So, are you and the old man close?" Supergirl raised her finger to her lips and her eyes glowed. The jet shuddered slightly.

"What did you do?"

"I turned off Bruce's monitoring system. I don't want him to hear us."

"Shway! So you knew the old man for a long time."

"I met him since I was 6. He trained me for two years before I left the League."

"Why'd you leave? Isn't it shway to be in the League?" Supergirl was silent for a while, causing Batman to turn his head.

She saw him notice her sudden silence and said in a forced cheerful tone, "The League just isn't for me."

Author's NOTE: This is the end of the story. The sequel will be about 16-year-old Isabel. What happened when Isabel leaved the League during the 8 years and became a solo heroine, Supergirl and Selene at the same time? She left the Wayne Mansion for 8 years, distancing herself from Bruce and Clark. After 8 years of solitude, Isabel went back to Wayne Mansion and met the new Batman, Terry Mcginnis.
