CAT'S CRADLE: CHAPTER 1-BATGIRL REVISITED
Every story has a beginning. Mine started in my teenage years as Batgirl Defender of Gotham, along side the "Dark Knight" also known as Batman/Bruce Wayne and his Sidekick; Robin, Whom I knew as Dick Grayson. I fought crime against the most evil of Foes, Unknown to my father at that time: Commissioner Gordon. Later on I fell in love with Dick, who proposed to me. We were steady after a while. Then he changed. He grew out of the Sidekick thing and wanted to go fight crime as Nightwing. Batman didn't allow it, so he punched him...Batman became devastated . For a few weeks he didn't even talk to me and slowly left Gotham. I found out later on that he had a child, Helena Kyle, A meta-human; Gifted with keen cat-like senses and very agile (I might add that she also has a little bit of an anger management issue). Daughter of Bataman and Catwoman, (One of his foes. A Femme Fatale actually. Last time I heard of her, she went to the Arkham Assylum for countles robberies.) I thought I would be continuing my crime-fighting career during my collge years, but all of that change in a matter of seconds. The Joker (Another one of Batman's foes) shot me in the back paralyzing me from the waist down. So instead of living my life as a cripple, I began training myself (not only for Vengeance, but for Justice.). I became the Oracle. My home is The Delphi; a manangerie of computer networks revolved around the Police Security (and everything in-between) in Gotham.
Getting back to Batman's love child, Helena Kyle. Batman abandoned her.( My reason for Batman adbandoning her was that I thought he didn't like the fact that he had a girl and wanted a male heir for Wayne Corperations.) Catwoman dissapeared without a trace. (Not even I know where she is.) Leaving her under the care of Alfred ( Batman/ Bruce Wayne's Butler) and me. I trained her in the Martial Arts. We, later on, found a powerful Telepath, Dinah. Together, we are known as The Birds Of Prey.
Today Is a different day, I can feel it. I drove my electric wheelchair and parked it by The Delphi. No, Helena didn't take out the batterries to the wheelchair. But as I checked under the survailence tapes in Arkham Asylum, Something didn't look right..There were 3 different attacks in Gotham, All near the same perimeter. A double Homicide, A breakout from the Assylum, and a burglary. I kept thinking that a meta- human was involved (Since most are.) Then something struck me. I remembered a face from the Arkham Assylum. It couldn't be...(I mangnified the surveillance tape at 100 fold) ...But It was. Selena Kyle has returned. And she brought a few friends.
