Okay these are just a set of really short one shots about each of the characters experiences before the events of Independence Day. This one is about Batgirl and Robin. I liked them as a pairing in TB but since this is a new continuity I decided to write Batgirl as an eighteen year old and just keep there relationship as a big brother sister. Anywho, I hope you enjoy!

July, 3 10:00 P.M Gotham City
Robin sat atop a building in downtown Gotham City, his legs casually dangling over the edge. Suddenly he heard a quiet footstep behind him. Far to light to be Batman, but not quite as loud as someone like Catwoman. He quickly turned his head back behind him to spy the intruder. All trace of worry quickly vanished from the young boys face as he spied the girl, his friend and teammate.
"Batgirl!" he said with a grin.
"Hey, boy blunder," the girl said with a smile sitting down next to him. "Where's the bat?" she asked.
"Down in Black Mask's territory," Robin shrugged with a sigh. "Apparently, this is one of 'those' missions." Robin placed his head on his hand. "He still treats me like a kid, and on the day before 'thee day' at that."
"I'm sure it's not that bad," Batgirl smiled encouragingly.
"Oh come on! I've been his partner for four years. Four years!" Robin said aggregately before sighed again "I bet he'd let you go." He muttered.
"Some how I doubt that," Batgirl said with a chuckle. "So, tomorrow's the day?" she asked.
"You know it," Robin said suddenly perking up. "Tomorrows the day we take the first step towards becoming full fledged league members." There was a short silence between the two as Robin looked up at the clear nighttime Gotham sky. Batgirl shook her head subtly wondering if this was the same brat she'd met ten years ago. "Why don't you come along?" he asked suddenly.
"Me?" Batgirl asked, raising an eyebrow. "You know I can't do that. My dad would wonder where I am, I've got college to attend to and…"
"Oh yeah, I forgot," Robin said with a sudden grin "You became one of those workaholics after entering college."
"Watch it!" Batgirl said quickly ruffling Robin's hair. Robin just grinned.
"I'll send you a post card from the Hall then," he smirked. Batgirl gave a satisfied sigh and softly punched him in the arm.
"I'm gonna miss you while you're gone kid. I've grown pretty fond of over the past three years. Not that I want to pick out curtains or anything."
"I'm gonna miss you to Babs," he said using her full name. His grin spreading into a full smile before the awkward silence overtook the two of them again.
"Well, I'm going to continue my patrol." Batgirl said finally, taking out her tow cable. "I'll see you when you get back, oh and tell Alfred I said hello." She said giving him one last smile before swinging away.
"Yeah," he said weakly watching her go, "I'll see you then."
Please review! Next chapter is Kid Flash that is if you guys think the story is worth continuing. Until next time!
