Batman Beyond: The New Batgirl

TRANSMISSION START:

My name is Aurora Gibson, but you can call me Rory. And ten weeks ago, I was a normal high school sophomore with dreams of getting into Gotham Tech, and I was on a one way track to it; until someone kidnapped my mom, Maxine Gibson.

For a while, I was living at Casa de McGinnis, with Terry, my mom's old friend from high school. But I was still pissed that someone literally hijacked my mom in the middle of my gymnastics meet; and right before my archery bout. Yeah, I get out a lot…

So Terry told me he had the best on it searching for Max—that did NOT assure be by the way. So I did a little tweaking with the McGinnis Manor mainframe and got unlimited access to everything. And boy was I a kid in a candy store. After sampling all the delightful treats I could—unlimited access to the Heli-Vator, the personal wave rider, virtual life simulator… extremely huge Olympic sized indoor pool with water slides—I found the piece-de-resistance: the Batcave.

Now, I'm not usually a nosy-nano-nanny but when a huge bat icon flashes onto my screen and I live in Gotham… do a little math. Yeah, I found out Terry McGinnis, the biggest billionaire-going-on-trillionaire, husband to Dana the biggest supermodel in Europe, and father of the hottest guy in my school, William "Liam" McGinnis, was the Dark Knight himself.

I didn't freak like a fan-girl and Jason Trainer concert, I didn't faint like that lady off of the twenty-ninth season of X-Factor; I demanded to be in on it. Of course they shot me down… But if there is one thing I inherited from my mom, it's my stubborn nature. And when that failed, I "borrowed" an old suit, made a few style size, and tech modifications and took matters into my own hands.

First night out, I cracked the case wide open… along with the Batmobile's shway-licious windshield. And I also found out that day who—or rather what—my dad was… If anyone sees a walking-talking arrogant T. Rex-human hybrid calling himself Zander, call me, 'cause I'd like to slag his top off for all the years of birthdays he missed.

So after a heated fight, some tossed-around-like-salad feelings and a very brief look into the checkered past of the McGinnis senior, I was drafted to be Batgirl 3.0. If only until we retrieved my mom.

We saved her in the nick of time and, no surprise there, she knew it was me in the Batgirl suit. And instead of being mad, she was cool with it, said I was living the one dream she never tried, and told me as long as I didn't let my grades drop, I was okay with the crime-fighting thing.

So the make a transmission really short—I am Aurora Gibson, a Raptor-human hybrid teenage girl, and ten weeks ago, I was different. Then, I was a barely trying over achiever with way too much free time and too much brain power. Now—

I AM BATGIRL…

AnimeKitty: So I wrote this on a burst of inspiration after watch a few episodes of Batman Beyond. Review please, because I need to expand on these characters a lot. Yes, Max is with Zander, but Zander is AWOL. Terry is married to Dana, who went into the one job more suitable and safer for her: a prissy model. Expansion on the lives of these grown characters will come.
