Futureknight verse: Wayne Manor: Different Bat-Time, Different Bat-Channel Part II

Helena was beginning to get depressed.  She'd tried--several times--to get home, all without success.  She was already missing her teammates--not to mention hoping to God that they weren't going out of their mind with worry about her.  And frankly, this Gotham was too different, too strange, too far ahead of her own for her to ever be comfortable here.

"I just want to go home," she muttered.  "Or to do something useful... Why the heck am I even here?"

"Oh!" said a young voice from the door, sounding surprised.

Helena looked surprise at the sound of the voice, and looked toward the source of it.

"Er... hello?"

Soft blue eyes looked at her from under straight-cut black bangs. It was a girl of about twelve years old; a strong but slender little creature with long black hair and maybe a familiarity about her.

"Who... who are you?" She frowned uncertainly, one hand closing over the front of her pale blue 'Princess' T-shirt.

Something was naggingly familiar about the girl, but nothing Helena could place at the moment.

"I'm Helena. Brenda's letting me stay here until I can get back home."

"Oh...." She put up a hand and rubbed her temple in a vulnerable gesture, then started as a muscular black-haired man came up behind her and put a hand on her shoulder. "OH! Conner, you startled me."

"Are you alright?" He frowned down at her, then looked up with a start and saw Helena.

"Oh," he said softly.

She gave the girl another look, trying to figure out why in the heck she was so familiar...

"Er... I'm missing something here, aren't I?"

He took a deep breath, then stepped forward and offered a hand. "Conner Kent. This is my younger sister, Clara."

So that's it... they remind me of Clark. And maybe a little bit of Kara in the girl.

She took the hand. "Helena Wayne."

"Pleasure to meet you, ma'am." The manners that the Kents had tried so hard to instill in him all those years ago came to the fore, making him even more like the man that he'd looked up to as a big brother.

Clara offered a shy smile, though she still looked slightly shocked.

Yep. Definitely a lot of Clark in this one. Come to think of it, the girl kinda reminds me of Lois.

"Sorry if I surprised you," she said to Clara.

"It's alright," said the child shyly. "You just reminded me of someone."

"Reminded ya 'a who, Losse?" asked another voice, and a tall, pale skinned man with black hair and bright blue eyes stopped to look at Helena thoughtfully. "Hey, I'm Ben Wolf."

[identity profile] bat-daughter.livejournal.com 2007-07-31 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Geeze, what is this place? Grand Central Station?

"Hey. I'm Helena. Helena Wayne."

"There was no need to make up that ridiculous alias, Master Narmo," said Prudence as she passed through with a watering pot in her hands. "Miss Helena is a member of the JSA in her own place."

"Oh...." He looked goofy as Conner laughed at him.

"Huntress, if we're being professional," Helena added. And to stave off the "Batwoman/Batgirl?" question.

"Superman, Supergirl, and Young Lobo," said Conner as Clara hugged Narmo and got a grin in response.

"Wait, if you're Superman, then who was the Clark I met?"

"Robin, usually."

"...You're kidding."

[personal profile] random_xtras 2007-08-01 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Um... nope."

[identity profile] bat-daughter.livejournal.com 2007-08-01 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
"I definitely need a scorecard to keep this place straight," she said. Then blushed. "Er, no offense."

"Don't tell'er what suit he's wearin' right now," said Narmo.

"Shut up," Conner told him without turning away from Helena. "Erm... you know Clark's my son?"

Helena will let the suit issue drop for the moment.

She nodded. "Guessed it anyway. Enough of a family resemblance."

[personal profile] random_xtras 2007-08-01 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Nah." Narmo sniggered. "The kid's a lot better lookin' than Con."

"Shut up!" Conner slugged him upside the head good-naturedly.

[identity profile] bat-daughter.livejournal.com 2007-08-01 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Helena stifled a laugh.

"You two are worse than Sylvester and Kara."

"I think they're worse." Clara shook her head as she watched them look innocent. "They're brother in laws."
