Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters.

Note: Sorry for the long wait, but here's chapter 11! I had originally intended for this to be a lot longer but decided that the second half would be better in Jason's POV. So enjoy and sorry for the long wait! This is more of a set up chapter but the next chapter will wrap up Terry's introduction to the Wayne family and then I'll move along Kara and Jason's relationship. So sorry if this chapter is a bit boring.

Chapter 11: Kara POV

It was a good thing Babs had thought ahead with the suit this morning.

Or had she somehow known?

I put away that thought as Jason faced me, searching my face as if looking for something. Whatever he found, he must have liked it because he looked relieved.

I eyed him questioningly but he just turned away from me.

"Looks like we have a mission," he began as he grabbed his bag.

I sighed, knowing I would never get an answer out of a Wayne, and nodded.

He eyed my stuff, "Did you bring a suit?"

"Yeah, in my bag," I answered.

"The right suit?" he added raising an eyebrow.

I sighed, "Yes, I made sure to wear the one that is Batman sanctioned."

He broke out into a grin, "Good, then we won't have to have him breathing down our necks tonight. Now come on, my bike's out in the parking lot."

I followed him out to see an amazing, sleek fiery red bike. It shined like every day someone washed and waxed it. And judging by the almost loving way Jason was staring down at it, it probably was getting that kind of treatment.

"What is with you bats and your obsession with great wheels," I murmured.

He glanced up and smiled, "Great, isn't she?"

"Not really surprised by the color," I conceded with a smile.

His grin widened. But then he shook his head furiously and tried for a more serious straight face. Shame, he looked cute with a smile.

Where did that come from? I thought before I turned back to Jason who was watching me impatiently.

"When you're finished thinking, we've got a mission to get to," he reminded me gruffly.

I shook my head quickly, "Right,"

"Good," he replied and jumped on the bike.

I stood there awkwardly, and he turned towards me with an exasperated expression, "Don't just stand there and stare, get on!"

I blinked, "On the bike?"

"Yes on the bike," he replied sharply, "We don't have time for this!"

"Right, sorry," I said quickly before sitting behind him.

"Kents," he muttered.

My eyes narrowed, No one insults my family!

I smacked him on the head, making sure to pull the blow by a lot.

It evidently didn't help, because Jason was shoved forward and he began to let out a river of curses.

"Sorry," I remarked not so innocently.

He rubbed his head, and turned his head to face me.

"I hate you," he hissed.

I smirked and shrugged, "My hand slipped?"

He didn't respond as he turned his head away from me.

He started off the engine and off we went.

After a couple minutes, I wrapped my arms around him.

He stiffened.

"To look normal," I explained quickly, though I was feeling a bit too comfortable with the embrace, not that he'd ever learn that.

He didn't say anything, but since he wasn't shrugging me off I wasn't about to let go of him.

We didn't talk much after that as Jason sped through the streets towards who knows where. I still didn't know the city well enough to figure out where he was headed.

Before I finally became impatient enough to ask him, Jason halted at the door of a high rise. Glancing back at me as he removed his helmet, "Are you going to let go of me now?"

"Right, sorry," blushing I unclasped my arms from around his waist.

He gave me a curious look before I jumped off the bike. He threw the keys at a valet as he hopped off and then ordered, "Put it under Grayson."

The valet nodded, "Yes, sir."

Jason opened the door to the building and said, "After you."

I stepped in and smiled over at him, "Thanks. What a gentleman."

He sent a glare my way, and I just smirked back. I had to admit, it was a lot of fun annoying him. Babs always told me it was her favorite pastime to irritate the bat boys (and I have to agree) and that the best way to deflect their patented bat glares was to smile it off. Plus, his bat glare was a lot less intimidating than his father's. It actually was more cute than scary.

I probably shouldn't have thought that while looking at Jason. The bats can read eyes.

We entered a large hall with a large overhanging ceiling.

Jason nodded to the man at the front desk, who smiled politely, "Mr. Todd, good to see you again. I believe Mr. Grayson just arrived."

"Thanks," Jason said as he led me to an elevator.

Once we were inside the elevator, I hissed, "What are we doing? We're supposed to be getting ready for a mission, not stopping by at Dick's place!"

He swung around, giving me an annoying smirk, "Patience, Kent. I have to gear up before we can go snooping. It's not like I can just waltz in there as Jason Todd can I?"

I glared but didn't respond.

Jason grinned as he faced the elevator.

Finally, it stopped and Jason punched some numbered on a pad. The elevator swooshed open and we stepped into a lush penthouse with big windows overlooking the city. There was one floor above us, and I used my x-ray vision to decipher a secret bunker complete with motorbikes and state of the art weapons and computers.

"I call it the Wing cave," a voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Stupid name," Jason muttered as Dick came into view.

"Jealous, Jason?" he countered with a smile before turning to me, "Welcome to my home, Kara, it isn't often that Jason brings a girl by."

He threw a wide smile at the young man who sent him a vicious glare in return.

"We're here to change and pick up something before heading out," Jason stressed.

"Fine," Dick waved him off before telling me, "There's a spare room if you'd like to change Kara."

I nodded and walked off.

It took me a second to change but before I opened the door of the bedroom to leave, I heard them whispering.

"So, you and her huh?" Dick teased.

"Shut it or I will shut it for you, Grayson," Jason threatened.

"You'd make a pretty good looking couple," he continued.

I felt myself blush, wondering if they were talking about me. I quickly put down that thought; I wasn't here to get another boyfriend. I was here on a mission.

I waited a bit to let them finish before interrupting them.

I heard an oof, and Dick was clearly catching his breath, "What was that for?"

"For overstepping your boundaries," Jason replied coolly.

"I hate you sometimes, Jay," Dick muttered as he winced in pain.

"Good," the younger brother replied cheekily.

I exited the room just as I heard their footsteps in the living room.

Jason was already suited up in his uniform and had his read helmet in his hand. He gestured for me follow him to the 'Wing Cave'.

"Good luck," Dick called, "See you tonight at dinner, Jay!"

Jason waved him off as he punched in the code and opened the door.

Three hours later and we were standing in the living room of one of the league's most hated person, Amanda Waller.

"Make yourselves comfortable," she ordered, "I'll be right back."

For some reason, we did just that. Tim was the first to sit in one of the lone chairs and Jason hugged as he sat at the end of the couch. Stephanie smirked for a moment before taking the other end. As Waller was already situated on the only other chair, I the place beside Jason in the middle of the couch. Out of the corner of my eye, Jason shot a quick glare at Tim before leaning back and crossing his arms across his chest.

"So who's the kid, Waller?" he demanded gruffly.

Waller studied him for a moment before remarking, "All in good time, Jason."

Jason's eyes slits widened before Tim cut in, "Yes she knows all our identities, so get over it."

Jason mumbled a few choice curses that I ignored as I watched Amanda Waller instead.

She turned towards me and I felt my fists clench; this was the woman behind Connor's cloning and Galatea, a clone of me only with accelerated age bent on taking the league down.

That would have been four years ago; clearly she had a new project in mind. But I sure as hell wasn't going to be a part of it if I can help it.

"I'd heard Supergirl had returned," she said finally, "Welcome back."

I offered her a stiff no and felt Jason stiffen beside me. Both Tim and Stephanie were giving their best bat stares at Amanda, well, Stephanie was giving her best bat glare.

"I hope you can forgive my past endeavors with your family," she offered with a small smile.

I really didn't know how to respond to that, and my eyes widened when someone else did.

"You used her DNA and her cousin's to produce human weapons and her cousin Superboy was raised in a lab underground like a test subject and less as a being with feelings and needs. And all you can say is sorry?" Jason snapped as he leaned forward.

Out of reflex, I placed my hand on his, "It's all right."

He started at my touch, but reluctantly nodded and turned back to Waller who was studying us.

I really wish she would stop staring at us as if she was planning her next project.

Tim smirked before turning back to Waller, "Let's stop wasting time. Who's the boy, Waller?"

She was pouring tea from a tray as she responded," Of course, that's why you're here isn't it?"

Tim raised an eyebrow, "You don't seem surprised we're here."

She smiled, "I'm not."

We all stared at her when Stephanie spoke up, "What?"
"That's what I'd like to know," Tim agreed, although he seemed to be in deep thought over something.

Waller didn't answer for a moment as she offered us some tea, which Stephanie and I declined as Tim accepted some. When she offered Jason a cup he snapped, "I don't want your stupid tea, woman. I have very little patience for this stalling, so tell me who the hell that kid is!"
Amanda Waller merely shook her head as Stephanie hissed, "Not in front of the kid!"
As if he was listening, the small child began to clap loudly.

"Looks like he's bonding with his brothers already," Waller muttered as she walked over to the pen and lifted the child up, "Come on, Terry, let's introduce you to your family."

Okay, now I was confused. What was she going on about now?

I glanced over at Tim and Jason whose eyes widened with Tim clearly figuring it out first before Jason mouthed an "Oh." Tim spared him a glance as if to say, "Late much?" which Jason promptly ignored.

Jason spoke what seemed like both were thinking, "You stole his DNA?"

Stephanie glanced questioningly at them before she made a noise that sounded like something between a squeal and a gasp.

"Oh my gosh!" she gasped once more before jumping up and rushing over to peer down at the young child.

"What?" I questioned.

"He's so cute"" Stephanie squealed before pointing at him, "So is this what he looked like?"

"How should we know?" Tim and Jason exclaimed simultaneously.

Jason then shrugged, "He doesn't exactly keep his baby pictures around."

"Wouldn't help with the image he's been creating," Tim snickered slightly.

"I'm glad you found this all so amusing," I frowned, "But some of us weren't trained by the Batman, so can you guys tell me what the heck is going on here?"

"I have a pretty good idea" Tim responded as he eyed Waller, "But the detective in me still needs some answers."

"Of course, I expect nothing else from a protege of the Batman," Waller responded as she brought Terry over to us with Stephanie following with a love struck expression on her face.

The older woman turned to the younger Batgirl, "Would like you like to hold him dear?"

Stephanie lit up and extended her arms, "When will I ever get this kind of chance when he's older? He's still in that adorable phase."

"He hasn't been Damianed yet," Jason commented as Tim snickered.

"And he won't be staying here," Tim stated as he took on a more serious tone.

"So you will be taking him then?" Waller questioned before sitting down, "Good."

"Say what?" I managed as Stephanie burst out eagerly, "We get to keep him?"

Jason eyed Stephanie, "That's the first thing that comes to mind? Not the fact that she is about to let us walk out with this kid that they probably spent millions engendering him? And he's not a pet, woman!"

He began to mock her quietly, "We get to keep him?!"

Stephanie stuck her tongue at him. Tim and I just eyed Jason as he quieted down.

After Jason decided to behave himself again, Tim narrowed his eyes at Waller and said, "You planned this meeting tonight."

At this point Jason looked so pissed as he snarled, "Spit it out or I'll cut it out of you, Waller!"

Terry laughed and Stephanie cooed, "That's your uncouth brother, Jason. He can be a bit violent and Bruce would rather not let him out of the house but Diana thinks letting Jason out will let him practice being out with people. She is a bit hopeful with Jason, but then most mothers want to think the best of their children..."

I blinked as the one word in her rambling stood out, "Brother?"

Waller glanced over at me, "You Kryptonians aren't very intelligent are you?"

I glared as Jason surprisingly came to my defense well, in his own way, "She's smarter than her idiot cousins, but this is way too crazy for even me to believe."

"I agree," Tim added.

"Let's start at the beginning then," Waller replied, "We don't have much time before Cadmus comes sneaking around."

"Supergirl, keep an eye out," Tim ordered before turning back to the older woman.

She leaned back and took a sip of her tea before beginning, "I know you still think I don't trust you vigilantes."

Jason scoffed as I murmured, "Understatement of the year."

He glanced over at me with a smirk before turning his attention back to the woman sitting before us.

I blushed slightly before mentally focusing on the story being told.

"But I came to respect the Batman," she explained, "And I realized how important it was to have a Batman in this world."

"I thought that was why Nightwing and he are here," Jason interrupted as he gestured to Tim with his thumb.

Waller seemed to be interested and she questioned him lightly, "You don't thing you're one of Bruce's choices do you?"

Jason's expression hardened, "I think it's too late for me, lady."

"Indeed," she remarked clearly intrigued by Jason's answer.

I placed a hand on Jason's and gave his hand a reassuring squeeze. He visibly relaxed.

"So what? You decided to clone the Batman?" I demanded, everything clicking in my head.

"The world needs this," she pressed, "When all of you are too old, and when Bruce inevitably retires, someone needs to carry on his legacy."

"What about Damian? He seems to think he is Batman's heir," Stephanie pointed out.

For the first time that night Waller's face hardened, "He may be Bruce's son but he is also the child of Talia and the grandson to Ras Al Ghul, and the boy's history makes him too much of a wild card."

Jason narrowed his eyes at her as Tim said coldly, "That is not for you to decide."

"Yeah, just because his mother and grandfather and their League are evil and hell bent on controlling everything doesn't mean he will!" Stephanie protested.

"His own mother killed him, he sure as hell doesn't want anything to do with her or her kind," Jason snapped.

"Be that as it may, the boy still cannot be counted on to continue the Batman's legacy," Amanda stated simply, "The future Batman has to be molded from the very beginning."

"What were you going to recreate his father's childhood trauma to induce Bruce's drive?" I mocked.

"Yes," Waller answered, "But Cadmus wouldn't allow that."

I felt my eyes widen as Stephanie gasped.

"You're crazy, lady," Jason muttered.

She chose not to respond, instead saying, "I wanted to create a Batman for the future and this meant I needed to recreate the events and the man involved in the birth of the Batman. It was Project Batman Beyond. And for a while it seemed as if everything was going according to my plans. We had Bruce's DNA..."

"That you stole," Jason muttered.

"All we needed was to add a biological mother's DNA," she continued, "I had planned on placing Terry in a couple coming into one of the civilian clinics, one planning on having children. I was planning to inject the mother with the embryo ... "

"You mean you wanted to force a child on an unsuspecting couple," Jason muttered.

"Will you shut up," I hissed lightly, "No one needs your commentary!"

"Sorry," he hissed back though he didn't seem very sorry.

"The plan was to allow Terry to be raised as if he were their own biological child as they wouldn't know any different," she explained, "Then I would arrange for his parents to be exterminated in front of him hence beginning the boy on his journey to take on the Batman mantle."

"Great plan, scar a kid for life to gain another Batman," Jason said loudly, "How noble of you."

This time none of us stopped Jason's rant, heck, he was probably just saying what we were all thinking.

"Listen, lady, have you lived with the Batman? He's not pleasant and that's putting it nicely, and one is definitely enough for this world. We don't need another Bruce Wayne Batman, we just need a Batman. Even Dick Grayson made a good Batman, and he was the sunniest one of the bunch of us. Hell, if you wanted a Bruce Wayne Batman you could have just saved billions of dollars by investing in training this kid," Jason finished gesturing to Tim, "He's almost scarred enough, you just need to add a bit more seasoning."

Tim glared at him.

"What about me?" Stephanie asked curiously.

"What about you?" Jason retorted, "Last time I check Batman was a Man. And a genius detective not a klutz. Have you looked in a mirror lately? You fail both requirements. Hell, I don't even know why Babs even made you Batgirl! You suck at everything!"

"Oh now you're sexist and a jerk?" Stephanie retorted.

"I'm surprised you even had to ask," Jason returned with a raised eyebrow, "And you wonder why you are not on the shortlist for the next Batman."

"Well, neither are you!" Stephanie snapped.

"Tell me something I don't know," he smirked.

"Uhhh!" she huffed.

Terry started clapping loudly while laughing.

"Definitely a Wayne," Tim muttered, "He already enjoys our yelling."

"I mean what the hell woman! What the hell were you thinking?" Jason demanded, "Unleashing another test tube monster upon this world! Wasn't Damian enough?"

Waller was giving him look that bordered on incredulous. I at least I thought that was what it was, she barely showed any emotion. The woman had the best poker face I have ever seen.

"Jason, language!" Stephanie admonished before gasping, "I think Terry just gave you the bat glare!"

Jason rounded on Amanda Waller, "What have you wrought woman?"

Waller gave him a raised eyebrow.

Tim and I peered at Terry and saw his momentary glare.

I shivered.

"I hate to say it, but I'm with Jason on this one," I admitted, "This plan is wrong in so many ways."

"Thank you," Jason said cheekily, "I knew you were my favorite Kent. Though it wasn't much of a contest"

I rolled my eyes.

"If you have finished," Amanda said, "I haven't."

"Right, carry on crazy lady," Jason said.

Tim rubbed his eyes, "Jason,..."

"Whatever," he answered as he crossed his arms across his chest.

"Before we could start the genetic engineering process, the higher ups at Cadmus gave me orders to stop Project Batman Beyond. Their reasons were that they wanted a new human weapon not a normal human even if this normal human would have the greatest mind s in the world. They wanted a physical weapon and were not going to spend billions just to give the weapon away to civilians," she explained.

"You're talking about a human child," I protested, knowing this was how Connor was treated when he was cloned from Clark; not as a person but as a weapon.

Waller turned her gaze towards me, "That doesn't really matter to Cadmus. They wanted a human weapon and this time they wanted one that wouldn't malfunction like the Kryptonians clones did."

I narrowed my eyes at her but didn't say anything.

We're not machines!

"I managed to convince them that using Bruce's DNA would still be a smart move for a new super powered human. Just imagine a being with special abilities and one with the brain of the greatest detective this planet has to offer," Waller continued, her voice proud and strong.

"Then he's part meta?" Tim asked.

"Yes, but I managed to convince them to choose a meta of my choosing," she answered, "and I chose to include Wonder Woman's DNA."

There was an audible gasp from the four of us.

"You what?" Jason asked in astonishment.

"But how could you know that they were together?" Tim questioned, "Terry is at least two years old and the project was started four years ago."

Amanda smirked, "I didn't. Bruce and Diana being together and Terry being their child was a complete coincidence. I didn't choose her as the biological mother with that in mind. I wasn't planning on giving Terry to you, at least not at first."

"Strange how the world works," she commented with a rueful smile.

"Diana would call it the fates," Stephanie remarked with her own smile as she nuzzled Terry's cheek.

Tim and Jason's gazes softened for a bit as they nodded.

They must really care about her, I thought.

Waller was the first to break the spell, "I chose Wonder Woman's DNA because I knew that most of her powers are a gift and therefore the child would still in theory be a non-meta."

"Wait, wouldn't Cadmus stop you then? The kid wouldn't be super powered so why would they want to go through with it?" Jason interrupted.

Here Waller gave him a devious smile, "I tricked them."

I raised an eyebrow at her, "How?"

"Cadmus is still compiling information about you, we still don't have a complete data set on most of the league and that is one of the reasons why Connor and Galatea were unstable and uncontrollable. The Amazons have been the most secretive and elusive and the only information we have on them is very minimal, and Cadmus as a science based institution, still lacks the understanding of the mythological and magical elements of our world to be able to develop human weapons perfectly. And that is why Connor and Galatea went rogue."

"Or they had free will and aren't computers you can program," Jason offered gruffly as I agreed internally.

Waller waved him off, "We haven't researched the Amazons enough to know that their abilities are mostly bestowed on them and not gained by birth. So while Terry may have inherited his mother's genes, he will not have her powers unless the Amazons decide to bless him with their abilities."

"Which they won't do for a man," Tim finished, "Smart, but how did you know about Diana's abilities?"

"Mr. Trevor proved to be an informative source, although not in the way he hoped I suppose," she said smiling slightly.

…...

Note: Please don't hate me for this chapter! I promise the next chapter will have a bit more action and don't worry, I am not hating on Steve Trevor! I actually like him, but paired with someone else and he's going to be Diana's best guy friend. He only told Amanda to dissuade her, he didn't realize he was convincing her!

And please leave a review! I promise I will try to respond if possible!
