Do you want to know why it took Batman forever to tell the Justice League about Batgirl? Well I will tell you… It wasn't because she is the Commissioner's daughter…
Ever wonder why Batman took such a long time to tell the Justice League about Batgirl? It wasn't just to protect her from the enemies the League has made... No, it's to protect her from Flash and the other single heroes in the League. After a year in College she is back and even more beautiful than she was before. And Batman has noticed it. But love is the last thing on his mind.
But he wants her all to himself.
what will the league say if they found out?
Here is how it all began…
It all began when she came back from College when she was told that her father was in hospital for a gun shot after a bank robbery. Batman barely got him to the hospital in time. The next day Barbara was at the hospital asking about her father's condition. "He is doing very well. The surgery to remove the bullet was successful. He'll still be asleep and he will wake up when he is ready." The doctor said with a friendly smile.
"Thank you." Barbara said. "No, thank Batman. Batman just got Commissioner Gordon here on time." The doctor said. Just then a uniformed officer called out to her. "Miss Gordon." It was Billy Mathews. "Hi Billy. Did they catch the shooter?" She asked him. "No, the shooter bolted when he noticed your father's badge." Billy replied. "I'm just going to go in and say hi to dad and then go and freshen up. Can you stay with my dad?" Barbara asked Billy. "Of course." Billy replied. Barbara patted his and smiled at him, "Thank you." And then she followed the doctor to her father's room. "I'll leave you to it. If you need anything just press the button above the bed." The doctor pointed to the call button and Barbara nodded. "Thank you."
Barbara turned to her father. There was a machine helping him to breathe and there were two bags with fluids in them. One was blood and the other was antibiotics which were going through each wrist. "Hi dad." She simply said and stroked his hand. She stayed with him for a little while until Billy came in. "I'll be back." She said. She went straight home and changed in to her Batgirl suit. The Batgirl suit had to be remade because Barbara had grown since she started college. Once she was dressed she leapt in to the air and headed to the crime scene.
Batman heard on the police radio that Batgirl has been sighted. "And she is hotter than ever." Batman turned off the radio. And soon enough Batgirl landed right next to him. "What have you go so far?" She asked him, getting straight down to business. "The shooter wasn't real good at robbing a bank… He left so much evidence. Shoe prints, fibres from his gloves, blood trail…" Batman replied. "I was about to follow the shooter's blood trail when you showed up." Batman added. "My father was shot, and the shooter got away from the police. I want to find him." Batgirl whispered. "When we find him, you are not to kill him, understand…" Batman warned her. "I'm not going to kill him… I'm… going to scare him so he doesn't do this again." Batgirl replied.
They followed the blood trail to an abandoned warehouse. Batman turned his heat vision on and so did Batgirl. "There he is…" Batgirl whispered and then jumped on to the roof. "What was that?" She heard a loud voice ask. Batman let Batgirl take the lead. He knew that he wouldn't be able to stop her if he tried. He followed her as she broke the window. "Oh damn it!" the two criminals yelled in surprise. The leader snorted. "It's only a girl in a Bat suit. Don't be such girls." The leader stood up ran over to Batgirl, knife at the ready and when he was just inches from her he raised the knife but before he could even blink he was on the ground with Batgirl straddling him and punching him in the face. When he was out cold she stood up and looked around. The other two crooks gasped and took a step back. "Where is he?" She asked in her deadly voice. "Who?" Batman landed on to the ground right behind him. "Wrong answer." Batman whispered in his deadly voice and then he grabbed them and pounded them in to the ground. "Alright, alright, alright he is in the next room on your right. Please don't kill us." The crooks pleaded. Batgirl ran in to the room where the crooks point -to and burst the door open.
The man who shot her father was tied up and gagged. He was bruised and battered. Batgirl raced back outside and went over to Batman and the crooks who were now tied up. "What did you do to him?" She practically screamed as she picked up one of the crooks. "The Joker had him in a trance while he robbed the bank and when he shot the Commissioner the bang broke the trance. He didn't manage to steal any cash so the Joker had got us to get rid of him before he got caught and told the police." Crook admitted. "Creamer, shut up!" the second crook yelled. Batman pulled the Crook up by his hair, making the crook scream in pain. "Where is the Joker?" Batman growled. "In our HQ with Harley!" The second crook looked like he was going to cry.
Batman knocked him and his friend out and then turned to Batgirl. "You get the man to the hospital and then go and explain what happened to the police. I've already called them to pick these two up." Batgirl nodded. "Meet me back at the cave." Batman added and then jumped out the window. Batgirl went back to the man who shot her father and untied him. "Hey, can you hear me? Wake up." She said in a loud calm voice. She gently took the tape of his mouth. The man woke up and gasped when he saw Batgirl standing there. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean too. The Joker put me in a trance. I couldn't stop myself and I didn't mean to shoot the Commissioner." "Hush, I know. I'm going to take you to the hospital and then I'm going to ring the police and you can tell them what happen. I'll be there. Batman is going after the Joker." Batgirl said. "Can you stand?" She asked. "Yeah." Batgirl wrapped an arm around his waist to support him as he stood.
Once they were in the main room Batgirl took out her grapple and aimed it at the ceiling and fired and in mid-air she swung through a window and landed on the roof of another building. "You are very strong." The man observed. "I have to be if I want to help Batman protect the City." Batgirl replied. And they made it to the hospital. Batgirl pumped in to Billy who was coming from the cafeteria with a take away mug of hot coffee. He froze when he saw Batgirl and that she was helping the man who shot Commissioner Gordon. "He wants to tell the police the truth." Batgirl explained. Billy nodded and then asked for a doctor.
After the man was examined by the doctor the man told Billy who he was and what happened. "Two crooks who were hired by the Joker were supposed to kill him before he went to the police. They told me the same thing. The crooks should be at the station by now." Batgirl said. "I'll check it out now." Billy made a phone call and a few minutes later he came back. "The crooks confessed and confirmed what you said, Mr Manning. And the commissioner has just woken up so I will be asking him what he thinks." Mr Manning nodded. "Get some rest." Batgirl said. She wanted to go to her father as quick as possible. She drove her bike to the cave and changed. As she was putting her Batgirl suit away she felt someone staring at her, she turned to see Bruce Wayne watching her every move. "My father has woken up so I'm going back to the hospital…" Bruce didn't say anything he just kept staring at her. This time Barbara turned to face him and caught the look in his eyes…
Desire… Barbara then realised that she wanted him too. But she also wanted to be with her father. "My dad…" She whispered and he nodded. "I'll be back." She said and he nodded again and went over to the computer. "Did you track down the Joker?" She asked before she left. "No, the Joker was gone before I got there. I'm searching for him now." Bruce said in strained voice. When Barbara left Bruce relaxed. What was thinking? She is too young for me. Damn it, she is beautiful. She has grown in to a beautiful woman. And I want her. Bruce thought to himself. "Miss Gordon has grown a lot." Alfred said as he brought down a hot mug of coffee. "Hmm" was all Bruce said.
Barbara went back to her father's room. "Dad, thank goodness you're awake." Barbara said when she walked in and saw her father awake and smiling at her. "I'm fine, honey." "You need to thank Batman for that." Barbara said. "He always saves my life." James said. "Remind me to thank him the next time I see him." He added. "I saw him not that long ago. I already thanked him. And he told me that it was the Joker's doing…" Barbara went on to explain what happened. "Batgirl brought him here to the hospital." "I want to see him." Barbara got Billy to bring in Mr Manning. "I don't blame you, I blame the Joker. And I'm not going to press any charges against you. But you will need police protection…"
In the end Mr Manning and his family flew to Miami for a holiday. And Batman managed to find the Joker and take him to Arkham Asylum along with Harley Quinn and a lot of their followers. Barbara stayed in her father's room until he fell asleep and then she went back to the Bat cave. "How is your father?" Bruce asked. "He's awake. He isn't pressing charges against Mr Manning who has taken his family away on a long holiday out of Gotham City." Barbara explained. Bruce nodded his head. "Go home and get some rest." He said. Barbara shook her head, "I'm alright." She said as she sat down next to him. "If you won't go home, Alfred will show you a spare room, at least get a couple of hours sleep." Bruce said. Barbara sighed. There was no use to argue with him… "Fine." She said and followed Alfred in to the manor. As soon as she was gone Bruce dropped his head in to his hands. "Damn it." He growled.
Chapter 2 will be up soon.
