Mirai Clone: Lily? We are we? This isn't a DBZ fiction.
Tigerlily: Calm down, Mirai. This is a totally different fic. The show is very new.
Mirai Clone: Birds of Prey? That's a show?
Tigerlily: Yes, it's about the daughter of Batman and Catwoman. She's pretty cool.
Gambit Clone: Not as cool as me, thought, right Cher?
Mirai Clone: (looks over at me confused) Who's he? I didn't know you made another clone. What about me?
Tigerlily: Mirai, you're still my fav DBZ character, but I *do* have other favorite characters from other shows, you know. Gambit is from the X-men, and-
Neil Clone: I know, I know, I'm late. Sue me.
Tigerlily: And then there's him, from the Final Fantasy Movie. Really pissed me off that they killed him, but I have to admit, they did it stylishly.
Neil Clone: Stylishly? How can you *die* stylishly?! I was killed off!
Tigerlily: Riiigggghhhhhttt. Anyway, there's one other surprise. Mirai, I thought you might like this one.
Mirai Clone: What is it?
Tigerlily: I know how bored you tend to get while I'm typing up a new fiction, so I figured I'd clone someone you could spar with. He'll be an even match for you. And it helps if he's cool too.
Neil Clone: What about us? What are we, chopped liver?
Tigerlily: Neil, shut up. Now I know why Jane is the way she is. Anyway, here's the deal. I cloned Gambit 'cause he's the coolest X-man alive.
Gambit Clone: This is true.
Neil Clone: Egotistical too, apparently.
Tigerlily: *And* I cloned Neil Fleming because he's funny.
Neil Clone: What?! That's not the only reason it is? (smirks) I'm charming too you know, and cute, and brave, and just an all around great guy.
Tigerlily: See? What'd I tell you? He's funny.
Neil Clone: Hey!
Tigerlily: *But* I cloned one other character from DBZ. He's really cute and wicked cool. Mirai, I'm sure you remember Gohan.
Mirai Clone: No way! You cloned Gohan? You cloned my sensei?! That's the coolest, Lily!
Tigerlily: I know, I know. You can thank me later. First thing is that he's not the Gohan's you're probably thinking of, seeing as how you never met him. I wanted to be specific, so I cloned Mystic Gohan. Hey, Mystic, get your butt out here!
Mystic Gohan Clone: I'm coming already. Sheesh. You're almost as bad as Videl.
Tigerlily: I'd be careful what you say to me, Gohan. You may very well regret it later on.
Mirai Clone: She's not kidding dude. You should read her fanfiction sometime, the kind she writes when she's angry with a character. SCARY!
Tigerlily: Ok, my little entourage, we've wasted enough time. I want to get to my writing now. Gohan, Mirai, you two can go hang out and catch up. Get a good spar in too if you want. Gambit, Neil, you're free to do whatever you'd like as long as you don't break anything.or more specifically, Neil, don't touch ANYTHING!
Neil Clone: Why are you picking on me? Everyone's always picking on me!
Tigerlily: In any case, I have to do the disclaimer. I do not own any characters associated with Birds of Prey. I'm beginning to think I may need to either, since I have my entourage. So, without further delay, my first BOP fiction.
Also a little side note, this takes place about the time for the season finale, ok? The idea is that Bruce is going to return to New Gotham after being gone for seven long years. When I first saw the Series Premiere, I learned that after Joker had sent the man to kill Selena, and had personally shot Barbara, Bruce left Gotham. He hadn't returned in seven years. So naturally, it occurred to me that the producers would probably bring him back for the Season Finale. A major cliff-hanger, you know. Anyway, on with the story.

What Legends Are Made Of Chapter One: Father-Daughter Reunion
"Huntress? Huntress, come in. Helena would you please answer me and let me know if you're still alive?" Barbara asked, getting impatient. Dinah looked at Barbara curiously.
"She's not answering? How come?" Dinah asked as Barbara shrugged her shoulders.
"Hard to tell. Sometimes, it's because she's pissed about something, or she can just do that when she doesn't feel like carrying on a conversation. You know her; dark, brooding, leave-me-the-hell-alone Helena. Takes after her father." Barbara said with a smile as Dinah nodded.
"Hardly." Helena finally said, making the two women jump suddenly.
"And she speaks. Come on, why haven't you returned yet? It's getting late." Barbara said.
"You know me, Oracle. I'm a night person, remember? Besides, I still have a score to settle." Helena said.
"Let it go. You caught the guy, right? You dropped him off infront of the police station, what more do you want?" Barbara asked.
"A new car would be nice." Helena said as Barbara sighed.
"Helena." Barbara began. Helena sighed over the transmitter.
"I know, I know. You've told me a thousand times. No car. Got it." Helena said.
"But..didn't..um.." Dinah began, and then suddenly grew quiet as Barbara looked over at her.
"What is it?" Barbara asked.
"Well, ever since I came to stay with you guys a while back, I've been catching up on my history. About the city and all. And well, I think I remembered something about Batman having a car. So why couldn't Helena?" Dinah asked.
"Don't encourage her." Barbara said.
"Besides, I don't need, nor do I want, anything to do with 'Daddy' or 'Daddy's money'." Helena said sarcastically.
"You're being unfair to him." Barbara said.
"Really? Tell you what. Call him, tell him what I said, and then he can stand up for himself." Helena said.
Silence passed between the trio for a few moments, before Helena sighed deeply.
"Sorry Oracle. It's not your fault. I shouldn't take it out on you. You've done so much for me already." Helena said.
"Forget it, kid. Just get back here so I know you're safe ok?" Barbara asked again.
"Can't. Found what I was looking for." Helena said.
"What? What is it?" Barbara asked.
"The guy's companion that ditched me earlier. Tell you what, I'll settle with him, take him in, and be back at the Lair within an hour." Helena said.
"*Half* an hour Helena. And Huntress? Don't pummel the guy senseless this time." Barbara said as she rubbed her temples.
"I'll try." Helena said, and then cut out.
"You know, she's going to give me an ulcer or two. And she's not even warmed up." Barbara said.
"That's just Helena for you. Come on, she'll be fine. Why don't we go get something to eat?" Dinah suggested.
"Mmm. Pizza sounds nice. But we'd better make it to go. We're gonna wanna be back in the Lair in case anything should go wrong and Helena may need us." Barbara said as Dinah smiled.
"I don't think I've ever heard those four words in the same sentence ever before. Helena may need *us*? Is that why she's always saving my neck?" Dinah asked as she and Barbara exited the Lair and took the elevator to the bottom of the clock tower, chuckling the entire way.
Darkness engulfed the alley as Helena crouched down atop the roof above and looked down at the alley below. Her eyes switched to cat mode as she looked down, and using the super sensitive feline eyesight she'd been gifted with as a meta-human, she easily spotted the guy in the darkest corner.
"Alright. Better make this quick. And I was so looking forward to a good time tonight. Oh well, there's always tomorrow, I guess. But Oracle didn't say I *couldn't* have some fun." Helena said, smirking slightly.
As she silently jumped to the alley below, the only sound she made was the sound of the wind against her black cape-like wrap as she jumped freely downward. She landed easily on her feet, and keeping to the ground, looked around her for any sign that the guy had heard her. She smiled. But then again, what did she expect?
"You know, I never was one for hide and seek, but I think this means I won. What's my prize?" Helena asked as she stood up. The man glared as he slowly looked around him, looking for the owner of the voice.
"I get to kill you." The man said, his eyes finally adjusting to the darkness and landing on Helena.
"Ah, now you've gone and hurt my feelings." Helena said sarcastically.
"That's not all I'll hurt before I'm through. Jake may have been the one behind the plans, but I'm the dangerous one. I'd be careful if I were you, little girl. You don't want to get yourself hurt do you?" The man jeered.
"First, I'm not a little girl." Helena said, then suddenly with blinding speed, rushed at the man. She punched at his face, getting the desired response when he caught her fist. She smirked as she quickly bent down, sweeping her leg underneath him, and he fell backward. Before he could regain his footing, she was at his side, pressing her arm against his throat.
"Second, *I'm* the dangerous one." Helena growled.
Suddenly there was a loud swishing sound behind her, and Helena turned around, hoping it would be more guys. After all, she still had twenty or so minutes. Barbara wouldn't mind if she was late. When her eyes landed on the dark figure behind her, they narrowed almost immediately.
"Oh hell no!" Helena cried furiously.
"Release him. If he's done something wrong, he'll go to prison." Batman said.
Helena turned back towards the man, to find that he had already taken off. Fury raged inside her as she looked around for him. Realizing that he was long gone, she whirled around furiously to face Batman.
"No, no, I don't think so!" Helena said as she glared at the man infront of her. Even thought this was the first time Helena had ever seen her father as Batman, she knew it was him. After all, who wouldn't?
"Who are you and why did you attack that man?" Batman asked as his eyes narrowed on the dark-haired girl. He took a step forwards and was surprised when the girl suddenly growled at him, taking a step backwards. It seemed..familiar somehow.
"Take one more step, and I'll rip you to pieces, and trust me, it will be *extremely* painful!" Helena cried.
"I'm not gonna hurt you, I want to know what you were doing here." Batman said.
"First, you would be the one in severe danger of getting hurt, *not* me. Second, I was working. You stopped me from catching that guy. Do you have *any* idea how long it took to find him? Even with my abilities?!" Helena cried.
"Abilities? Who are you?" Batman asked as he unconsciously took a set forward. Helena growled as her eyes switched to cat mode, and swiftly turned and scaled the wall behind her. She paused as she looked down at Batman.
"The name's Huntress. *Don't* get in my way again, or so help me, I *will* kill you. I don't give a damn what Barbara says or who the hell you are!" Helena cried, and then suddenly vanished.
Batman frowned as he looked up at the roof. Barbara? As in Barbara Gordon? How did this girl know Batgirl? Making up his mind, Batman quickly pulled out his hook-gun and shot it into the sky. When the click told him that the hook had caught something, he tested it for a moment, before swiftly climbing up the wall.
Several buildings ahead of him the Huntress was racing across the rooftops with a speed incomprehensible to human standards. Without another thought, Batman raced after the girl.
