The winds of change and chance ( Power girl)

[Deleted]

When she was a child Katie's mother use to sing to her about the winds of change and chance , it was a song of hope , and love and the silly things kids ate up , Batwoman half wondered as she stalked the once great roof tops of her once favorite haunt. The end of the world had come and gone the sun setting on the super hero's and leaving behind Chaos and where was she when super man was killed , laying in a hospital bed recovering from her own wounds , where was she when her Gotham was destroyed by the freaks the government men made , learning how to run with out pain , another re great and another faliler were on her head .

She was on Recon duty tonight armed with a map and half a plan to sneak into once great city in hopes of finding anything use able . luckily for her she had Friends who had info . so dawning her all black uniform she made her way into the heart of darkness , knowing that even a love tap from a clone would mean death she stuck to the roof tops when at all possible . so far she had only run across the left over thugs , the ones doing what she was trying to, survive . hopeing to see another day.

not all things about a dead city were so bad it was quiet and for once in along time she could see the stars, and the all ways present wind no longer had the stench of ozone , yes there were hints of decay and death but after a while you got use to it .

get close to her treasure trove of what she hoped was fuel she had to stop her heart aching from the movement and stress , glad for once her father could not see how much pain she was in due to having to run quiet . leaning agents a gargoyle Batwoman took a deep breath and held it to keep from yelling repeating the process her head pounding she had to take a brake and so sticking to the shadows she sat waiting for anything that may cross her path...

Occasionally, when she could see the fewest number of clones in a city, Power Girl would venture in for supplies. She liked to go in and collect things and distribute them to out laying villages around the major cities and larger colonies that have survived in the aftermath.

Tonight was no different. She could see everything, hear everything and move faster than mach III, there was no way the clones could catch her. She moves faster than normal human eyes can see typically, and she stays silent. Literally the perfect assassin, if she was interested in that kind of thing. Truth is power girl has been interested in killing, more-so than ever before in her life. It's scary and invigorating all at once, but killed who is the big problem now.

An erratic and most likely unhealthy heart beat catches her attention, she sees a heat signature, then skeletal structure, female, mid to late twenties, up very high, higher than should be. She closes the distance between them in a flash and arrives silently. She does not expect what she finds. Batwoman, a woman she's probably never met in person, but heard a lot about. Powergirl was friends with batman before things went to hell, she still hasn't made contact with batman since being resurrected. Why bother? Then again having sakkara, her wife, back in her life has helped a lot with her emotions. She's still a wreck how ever.

As far as every one knew though, Power girl is dead. Was dead at least, when she went down she was a bloody mess of broken bones, missing an arm and eye, several fingers and teeth, part of her face. She had 15 doomsday clones on her, she was dead. But here she is, not dead. And apparently not injured at all. Spiral had done a magnificent job, though the technology in her is unlike anything ever seen, so it better be magnificent.

"Batwoman, you shouldn't be here alone."

she said suddenly, a whisper. Her voice sounds...cold, dead, empty.

A voice a whisper in the dark caused Batwoman to jerk her head up , a life time of training pulled her gas gun and with out havening to think Aimed it towards what she thought was a foe , tough what she found took her breath away for another reason , Power Girl herself a true A lister in front oh her. Inwardly she smiled outwardly she slowly stowed the weapon.

One last breath deep in than slowly out . Trying to think about what she actuality knew of Power girl , every one knew the basic stuff , about as old as she was , had her "cousins powers , and the costume, seeing it in person she understood the knowing smirk robin always had about seeing her .

Tilting her head slightly she allowed her self a smirk . " Power Girl ... It's true what they say , your bo.... Boots really bring the look together . I heard you were dead, glad you are not we need all the hero's we can get... ."

Pushing herself off the gargoyle she went back to bushiness mode looking out over the dead city . Not turning her head hearing the other woman speak she nodded death in her voice , a survivors voice , Kate half wondered what the other person had seen . . " Your here now so I am not alone ." Turning her head enough to glance at power girl she let a smirk play on her face . " I would think your here for the same thing I am to find something , anything in the city worth seeing . As it happens I have knowage of where to find food , and gas if the info is true . I would be willing to cut you in for half , if you would be willing to watch my back . What do you say ?

Powergirl listens to Batwoman, she is not amused about the comment towards her costume, in all honesty back in the day she would’ve probably laughed about it and quipped something back about red blending in with the scenery of gotham city perfectly well. In reality, once upon a time, Karen really liked Batwoman’s outfit, she thought it was a sexy spin on Batman’s bland outfit, then again Karen is a flaming lesbian and all of the appeal in batmans suit is in the sculpted muscle design, which pg obviously has no interest in. She is not aware of the fact that batwoman is also a lesbian though…

”Or I could torture you for the information and kill you, or allow you to lead me there, then take it all and kill you, or I could rape you, injure you and leave you here to die while I continue to drain this city dry of every usable resource it has left as I was doing in the first place…”

Very grim indeed. Powergirl puts her hands on Batwoman, not sexually, she is’t groping the woman, she’s just touching her, one hand on her shoulder, the other on her adjacent arm. She leans in really close and grins. Powergirl’s voice sounded down right mad, insane.

”Just kidding. Yes I will help you. Where is it, I will carry you there. My physiological analysis of you tells me your heart is only operating at about 67% efficiency. I imagine you are in a lot of pain and there are clones present in this city, I know where they are, they aren’t close, but you will slow us down if we travel at your speed.”

She leans away from Batwoman and floats up, then offers her arms out to Batwoman, so she can allow herself to be carried, or she can take the option to decline the offer. Either way it seems Powergirl is interested in helping, even if she is obviously twisted and not her old self.

Tensing up a slight bit Katie betrayed her nervosas her first mission back and she had to deal with someone she had admired at the touch she was glad for the mask a small amount t of heat coming to her cheeks, but like that it was gone as PG spoke of all the lovely things that could be don’t to her. Looking her dead in the eyes Katie’s smile became nearly savage.

Torture me if you wish I have been trained by the best including the bat. I may die but you would be looking for hours. Rape? that one's not fair yes you could, but if you want under the leather so bad and if dinner was involved and candle light maybe we should just call it a date, I've a lovely selection of canned meat in my lair . shaking her head she went one. The snarky coming back to her in spades. And from what I know of you least the pre war you, Power girl is a good person, yes stealing from the dead is not what we should be doing but my people outside of the corpse are as dissevering as yours. We can play nice and share....


Close enough to kiss dam it Kate don’t get fuzzy bunny, her old montra repeating in her head this woman was unhinged but she saw something in power girl that made her smile, a spark of what might have been shaking it away she moved out of power girls reach pulling her smart phone from its pocket and turning it on for a moment checking her suits wellbeing and frowning slightly. “ Also I will have you know I am running at 71% otherwise the pain would be of the chart... if I was hurt that was. she hated admitting weakness hated but pg had a point and leting out a sigh she held her hands out waiting to be picked up . were heading three clicks north north east. The old police garage. Tough once inside you’re going to need what I have....

Powergirl was slightly amused that Batwoman didn't question her analysis of Kate's health. Then agan, Batwoman has probably never had contact with any kryptonians before, she's likely ready files on them, but not actually met one before. She was a newer super hero on the scene of gotham when things went to hell. She could definitely detect elevated heart rate and probably blood pressure to boot.

Powergirl takes Batwoman into her arms and takes off, she moves silently and quickly, very quickly. She can take corners unlike any vehicle and at any given moment is moving at about a hundred and fifty miles an hour, clearing the distance takes a few seconds at most.

"Don't delude yourself. You have nothing I need."

Which was most likely true, but without knowing what it really was, She couldn't say that for a matter of fact. It could be magically warded or something, then powergirl would be well powerLESS to get to the stuff. Honestly Powergirl is being way more of a bitch and a bit creepy and insane. She isn't how she used to be and while Batwoman had never met Power girl before, she's definitely acting out of character for how people likely described her in the past. Powergirl was funny, snarky, up beat and always smiling, she was gentle and often went out of her way to make sure people felt good. But she was also harsh and had a lot of bite to her demeanor when need be. She's not your stereotypical barbie blonde, she knows how to make ugly faces as easily as she does pretty ones, but right now all she's making are ugly ones.

She realizes this as they arrive and when she lands, after she puts Batwoman down she frowns a little.

"Sorry for being so weird and rude. I'm...I've not been myself. Actually, you probably shouldn't trust me. I will help you get this stuff, then leave. I don't want to hurt you."

It was a pretty savage change in demeanor, from mean and generally rude to apologetic and depressed.

The sudden feeling of flying snapped kate's eyes open there was no way that she could keep quiet she let a small giggle escape her lips now knowing how the other half traveled and knew she would be a little jealous from here on out. Tough flying did take a bit out of her as fast as they were going Batwoman lost her wig as a sudden gust of air struck her , making a face she decided it was OK she had others when would she ever fly like this again ?

When she landed and heard Power girl her smile faded , she was nothing like the woman from the files , but the end of the world changes people , sometimes for the better , but often for the worst turns out the woman she fixed pg with a smile running a hand trough her short hair and shrugged . " the bunker was built post no mans land , a store house for the gc pd so they would have what they needed they hired star labs to build the vault self powered , self contained . Tough to get into even for you.



Some thing in Pg's face caused Kate to lose her snaky face , she was hurting even she could see it taking a breath she smiled softly like she would do to a freaked child . It's OK, you don't comeo ut of the end of the world with out picking up some sort of drama, frankly I don't trust you , I would be a fool if I did but from your file your a hero remember that , and your my partner for the moment so your getting half for your people. So come on Girly lets do this when your ready .

Powergirl was not a fan of this particular situation, she can feel these cruel urges sneaking up from the back of her mind, whispering and suggesting she do terrible things to Batwoman, to this city, to this entire planet. It's depression at it's finest, the world is lost, people are suffering, why not put themselves out of their own misery, she could destroy the planet and be done with it. Better yet, she could destroy the sun, that would kill the planet and she'd eventually die to.

She shakes her head, pushes the thoughts from her mind, she's here to protect batwoman from the clones while Batwoman procures some much needed supplies. She moves in after the girl and follows her where ever she may need to go in silence, with her head down.

She doesn't wish to exchange words with Batwoman right now, speaking will only complicate things, if she can stay focused, she can fight back her schizophrenia and paranoid delusions with psychotic features long enough to get the job done without killing anybody, namely Batwoman.

Kate glanced over her shoulder at the once proud hero , it was sad really havening read her file, she had hoped that superman's kin would be strong , but beyond that she was one of the kinder hero's as well half shurging she moved on deeper into the Garage her staff out ready for danger if it were to come .

Its not my place PG but what's eating you ? I would think with your power set you would be happy , I even hear tell that your old sidekick is alive and well. Good times for ya it seems .

speaking her peace Kate tough she saw a shadow out of place getting her stance ready she spoke softly how bad is it ?
