Ch.5 I Know Who You Are

Thanks for all the views lately, I love your thoughts! __________________________________________________________________________________

Leona's POV

I'm getting used to waking up at dawn instead of sunset, which is why I woke at 6 am. The sky was a dark blue, street lamps still glowed below. Yet the sky was outlined with a light blue, bringing wisps of clouds with it and pushing away the, now far from sight Moon.

I averted my eyes from the window, returning to the comfort and warmth of my bed. Sadly, the Jaguar DNA only gave me a slight warming factor, not enough to keep me from the cold Gotham Nights.

The Tank top and shorts Selina always seem to give me didn't keep me warm and exposed my skin to the bitter cold. Wrapping the blanket around my shivering form I instantly felt better. This small apartment is nothing compared to the League, not to mention I didn't have my regular appearance on. It was thick enough to block out the cold harsh winds.

Draping the blanket around my shoulders, which trailed behind me like a cape, I trudged to the window. The Sky illuminated a light, bright blue. Few Cars passed by, More and More as the day grew on. People passed by, many thuggish characters stayed in the shadows. A Lot of activity erupts in the Mornings of Gotham, less than the nights, but more than the deserted afternoons. Something about being in the South of Gotham, Selina told me.

It was calming in a way. Silence and Activity. I was finding myself drifting off at the sight, I was awake the majority of the night, resulting in the outcome of slumber taking over. No. I need to stay alert, there was a difference in today. A Uncertainty. A Change. I could sense it.

"I See your up kitten"

I silenced the growl that threatened to leave. Speaking calmly I replied. "Yes Selina I am, I awoke early and spent my time gazing at the city, it was" I paused looking for the right word "Calming". I could sense her confusion for a brief moment. Selina cleared her throat. "Anyway, it's early still, I have business to do, I'll be back". I hummed in response, hearing the door shut.

<Time Skip>

"Kitten"
"Kit"
"Leona"

I opened my eyes slowly. Selina was staring at me, her mask covered her face. I groaned and stretched my arms. I was laying on my back on the couch, taking a nap. Selina backed away, giving me space to stand now. "What Selina" I growled, not moving. Her blue eyes glared at me, "Get Dressed, we're meeting someone, special". I switched positions, now sitting upright. "Will there be violence, if so-"

"Just wear your ninja- Whatever it's called"

How dare she insult The League. Without hesitation I leapt to my feet, heading towards where my outfit and small weapons were.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

   Selina and I leapt down into an alleyway. I could smell salt in the air, which meant we were close to sea. My instincts were proven right when we stepped onto a wooden dock. I pulled the hood over my head, covering my now frizzing hair. I need to re-do the braids, or else my hair turns into a mass of frizz. Like I said, my hair is untamed and wild.

"Bruce"

Selina called out suddenly. Wait, Metal, Rubber, Leather, Cloth, Male, Human, Batman...

I tensed suddenly, Bruce Wayne is Batman.

As predicted The Batman appeared from the shadows, behind him was a black vehicle. I felt Selina give me a push towards him. A guy in a Bat Costume is the father of Damian Wayne, Robin, a assassin. I imagined him taller.

Selina and Bruce stood on opposite sides, facing each other, with me in the middle, feeling uneasy. Bruce walked towards me. He kneeled down to my level, one leg propped up. "Leona" he spoke. His voice was deep, commanding, but smooth, kind. He continued, "Talia never told me about you". I stared into the white eyes of his mask, he shows no facial expressions, strange. If it wasn't for the DNA I wouldn't have sensed his Caution and Uncertainty.

I scoffed. "I was not for the saying". He growled under his breath, once again the Jaguar side picked up his words, "Just like him". I glanced at the black vehicle, "I assume you are going to take me to the Wayne Manor or Batcave, Mother told me about something similar happening to me Half- Sibling".

The white eyes of his mask widened for a brief moment. If he has my Half- Brother he should expect no less from me. I crossed my arms and turned back to Selina, who had a mischievous smirk on her face. What on earth could she be thinking about. Taking a moment I sniffed Excitement, Sadness, Playfulness, -GAH

A sudden force was squeezing my sides, hugging me. "Unhand me Kyle", her last name came out on instinct for some reason. Selina let go of that torturous hug. In the middle of scenting her emotion she must of made a beeline for me. I glared at her, huffing in annoyance. "I suppose this is where we part, Farewell Selina" I don't understand why they say "good bye's" are so hard.

She flashed a smile before wandering into the darkness of the night, leaving me with some idiot in Spandex. I turned back to face the masked man. "So you are the father of my Half-Sibling" I said, pausing for his reply. He only stood and gazed down at my shorter figure. "Mother has told me about your journeys, very heroic" I continued.

The Batman smirked lightly, he began heading towards the black vehicle, very modern. "Ill dri-". "No" his gruff voice cut me off. "I Kn-". "No". How did he predict my words so easily, Mother did tell em he was very wise.

I trotted after the Batman, He is quiet, but knowledgeable, I can tell. Now standing at the black vehicle I watched silently as the Red hood came retracted. Once again, Modern, im impressed. Maybe he is more than a idiot in a Bat Costume.

"Are you coming"

I jumped slightly. I was so deep in thought I hadn't noticed The Batman was already in the vehicle. "Of course, why would I not, I was in deep thought" I spoke before leaping over the side and into the seat.

The screen in between us lit up. A picture of a elderly man appeared. "Alfred" Batman began. "Who is Alfred" I asked, Batman faced me "Alfred Pennyworth, a friend", He returned towards the screen.

"Yes Master Bruce".
"Prepare for a guest"
"A slumber party, goody"

Batman revved the engine before speeding towards the night road of Gotham.

The Ride was silent, a good silence. It gave me time to think. Mother wouldn't just dump me in Gotham, Though she did always want me to do things on my own. When I was young she and Grandfather would always say I was independent. I do recall once wanting to hold a sword to big for me, everyone thought I couldn't, yet I did, for mere seconds. Grandfather took it away from me, saying it was much to big for me.

The Vehicle went to a stop, signaling we were at or destination. Hmm, squeaking filled my ears, not if a mouse, but...a bat. I leapt over the side of the vehicle, onto the edge of the circular platform. Batman took of his cowl, reveling a concerned look. I continued until I was of the platform, a sigh of relief was heard behind me.

"So this is the fabled Batcave" I began, small, smaller than I thought, "Small but efficient". I rather not use my scent here, it's filled with bats, but the smell of lemons and honey filled my nose instead. Faint footsteps filled my ears.

"Apologies for the delay sir, Master Damian and Master Dick were quite rambunctious this evening"

This sounded like the servant from the vehicle. I turned to face a tall elderly man, is he the only servant. "You only have one servant" I said aloud, glancing around the servants talk figure, "Where are the rest". The servant glanced down at me, or more like my hood, and back to Bruce. "This is quite the Deja Vu, Master Bruce", The servant looked down at me, "I'm afraid I am the sum total".

"Pennyworth is a Friend, no Servant"

A juvenile voice popped up, coming from where the large screen was. "So don't order him around". I sniffed, anger, annoyance, jealousy.

"No need Master Damian" Pennyworth declined, "Would you like to see where you will be staying Mistress Leona". Before I could answer Bruce's deep voice did, "Actually Alfred, I think Leona will like to meet who she will be living with." More pests to annoy me to the end. Bruce continued, I missed most of it, "-ould you mind getting Dick".

Pennyworth disappeared off to somewhere, I do not care much at the moment. I faced the giant computer screen in time to see the chair in front of it swivel towards me and Bruce. The kid in it had a sneered expression, he had the same colored eyes of Mother, yet black hair like Bruce, Damian Wayne. Damian stood from the chair and walked hastily to Bruce's side, who was opposite from me.

Damian crossed his arms and shifted his gaze towards Bruce. "Father" He (asked?) warily with hints of anger in his voice. His eyes seemed to pierce my soul, or try, I glared back at him. "Leona Al Ghul, daughter of Talia Al Ghul, your half-sister" I emphasized the words "Half" and "Sister". Damian's eyes widened, yet as soon as it appeared he had a annoyed look, honestly it made him look Bratty "If you are what you seem, show me". Didn't I show you enough when I kicked your a-

"Show me" he growled once again, now glaring. I reached into a compartment and pulled out a throwing star that had the leagues signature on it, I threw it at Damian, in which he caught, yes, he is a trained assassin. He examined the signature before glancing back at me.

I heard footsteps coming, they were heavier than Pennyworth's, yet lighter than Bruce's. "Someones coming" I said aloud, Bruce and Damian exchanged looks, I let the Jaguar sniff, Human,Male,I already know, "Well" Damian asked impatiently. "Mother said my brother was with the Wayne's, Bird Man said your name, which made me think Damian Wayne, my brother, was Bird-Robin, If you're Damian Wayne, that makes Bruce Wayne Batman, your father, and from the looks of Bird Man, I guess he's Bruce Wayne's first adopted son, Dick Grayson" I said my thought process out loud, Bruce had a surprised look on his face, while Damian smirked, once again as soon as it appeared it disappeared.

I shrugged, "When I was 4 I hacked into NASA, and due to my Jaguar infused DNA I know your scent and can hear
your footsteps". "It was apart of training" Damian finished.

"Well since you know who I am I suggest some family bonding, Bruce"

"Hm, I agree
