Being Catgirl (A Young Justice fanfic)

Chapter 1: Nice to meet you

Sarah's P.O.V

All I see is darkness, all I feel is pain and emptiness. It hurts too much to think let alone move as I am in the trunk of my so called parent's car, bruised and broken up. I feel the car come to a stop, the trunk opens to reveal them, the two people who have caused me pain since I was adopted by them. Since I was an orphan they adopted me when I was little I'm nine years old now, at first I thought they loved me but then they began abusing me and mentally scarring me, now they just are going to throw me away like a piece of rubbish to make me disappear from their lives, but I'm glad they are doing this because then I won't feel any more pain from them.

"Hurry up, I want to get out of here and I don't want to be seen" she states as he lifted me up roughly making pain shoot through my body causing me to groan and tears to spill down my already tear-stained cheeks.

"Alright I'll chuck her in that alley way over there" he replied as he carried me. He dropped me on the cold hard pavement and I internally groaned in pain

"Come on let's get out of here" I hear him say getting into the car and driving off. I'm so scared, cold, and in pain.

"So this is how I am going to die?" I mutter to myself before letting the darkness consume me.

*Later*

I awaken and sit up but go back down groaning in pain, I open my eyes to find I'm not in the alley way anymore I'm in what looks like an apartment, a nice apartment at that.

"You're awake" a woman comments walking over to me. She looked to be in her late twenties and she was really pretty with black hair and sky blue eyes. She seemed to be really confident and strong and looked like she wasn't afraid to stand up for herself but this is just a first impression.

"W-where am I?" I ask her frightened

"It's ok, I found you in an alley way unconscious, you needed medical attention so I brought you back here" she says placing food in front of me

"Why save me?" I question curiously as I eat the food and realising a bunch of cats are roaming around the apartment

"Because" she replied looking away

"That's not an answer" I state frowning

"Fine, I couldn't let a little girl die in a alley way in the streets of Gotham where killers and thugs roam, is that a good enough answer?" She asked kind of annoyed

"I guess and thank you for caring for me, you're the only person who's cared for me in a long time" I say looking down at my feet

"Oh well your welcome" she said slightly surprised

"You know, you speak wisely for your age" she adds

"I had to grow up a while ago" I reply and she nods

"You should really get some rest, you need it from what you have been through" she states placing my blanket back over me as I lie back down

"By the way what's your name?" the lady asked me

"Sarah" I reply in a small voice

"Well Sarah, it's nice to meet you I am Selena" she says with a smile

"It's nice to meet you too, good night" I replied before going to sleep, it was the most peaceful sleep I have had in a long time, for some reason I felt so same around Selena.

*Few weeks later*

I'm nearly all healed have a few bruises and cuts here and there but I couldn't be better. I now live with Selena, we have grown close over the past few weeks and we know each other by heart so I could easily pass as her daughter. Her full name is Selena Kyle and since she is basically my guardian and I don't want my 'families' last name I am now Sarah Kyle, I also found out that Selena is Cat Woman and she saved me when she was wondering around Gotham. So now since I know, she has decided to train me to become her protégé, Catgirl. I haven't started school yet because of my injuries and it's really annoying because I'm gonna get scars from them but I'll get over it.

*Four years later*

I'm now thirteen and it's the school holidays that means no waking up early to go to school, now I can train more. Since Selena found me I have grown and become more muscular and also gained weight since I was barely fed anything before, I'm still skinny but with a toned body.

I am now a master in several different types of martial arts along with becoming a acrobat type gymnast and am quite talented with a whip if I do say so myself, I've also gained confidence and don't take crap from anybody along with a bad-ass attitude, I'm not kidding a guy was picking on my friend at school and I punched him in the face and broke his nose, I was suspended for a few weeks. I've grown my hair out from being like a boy's hairstyle, now my light blonde hair makes it halfway down my back, my eye colour is just a light green colour. I've also been helping Selena steal stuff, I started last year and trust me it is so much fun and you get a great reward out of it. I get to wear an outfit too, if I had to explain it in one word it would be black. I wear a black long sleeved body suit with black combat boots and a black utility belt that has my whip attached to it. I wear a black cat mask that covers the top half of my face and has cat ears just for the extra feature and I wear my long blonde hair in a high pony tail. I really like and it also has hidden pockets and compartments that have more hidden weapons, hey you can never have enough weapons and when you fight against Batman and Robin and all the villains in Gotham, you need them.
