Chapter 1: A new/old hero arises.

She walked down the street clutching her backpack. How the heck did she get here? The last thing she remembered was talking to the gypsy. She heard a motor behind her (several in fact) she turned around. About seven jokers were behind her. She ran as fast as she could. They just laughed and followed her on their bikes. She turned down an alley and stopped. DEAD END! Terry McGinnis was making his rounds. So far he hadn't seen any crime. Then he saw seven jokers riding their bikes in a circle around a girl about his age. "Leave me alone!" she screamed. "What's in the backpack babe," one snickered. "Textbooks," she lied. "Its Saturday babe," another smirked, "Why would you be lugging school books on a day off," "I think she's got valuable stuff in there," the first one said. He grabbed her backpack. "NO LET GO!" she pulled back in the other direction. The jokers laughed as they continued to play tug of war with the backpack. Terry swooped in and hit into the joker causing the villain to fall of his bike and let go of the backpack. She fell backwards (she was pulling back when the joker lost his grip and well you've seen it in the movies). Terry flew over and caught her. He leaned her upright, "Are you ok?" he asked. Then a joker ran into Terry and he was thrown into the wall. He tried to fight back but they just kept coming at him making it almost impossible for him to even throw a punch. The girl clutched her backpack and walked backwards slowly until she was hidden by shadow.

As Terry lay on the ground a joker came to beat him up even worse but just then a girl flew down from the sky. She kicked the Joker knocking him down. She held out her hand, "need some help," she asked. Terry stared at her. She was wearing a costume similar to Terry's. It was black and it had two blue wings embroidered on the front. On her arms she had 2 blue wings that went form her arms to her hips. Her mask was like Robin's only blue feathers covered the outside. He looked around the girl the jokers attacked earlier was gone. She probably ran off when the jokers turned their attention to Terry. "Hello earth to Batman," the mysterious superhero said teasingly. He took her hand and she helped him up. "I'm fine," he said. A joker started to attack from behind. "Watch out," she yelled. He turned and hit the joker. There were four left. Terry started to fall forward. She caught him, "You are far from fine," she said, "You rest while I take care of the rest of these clowns," she back flipped onto a joker knocking him out. Then jumped off him and did a straddle kick knocking out two more of the jokers coming at her. Finally, she did a jump kick and took out the last joker. "Wow," Terry thought, "She's got an excellent form," "Later," she said and flew off. "Who was that," Terry thought.

The next day Terry walked up to his girlfriend Dana. She didn't look happy, "Terry you missed our date again," she said. "I'm sorry," Terry said, "Please forgive me," "Terry I can't keep going around in circles with you. We schedule a date, you don't show up, we fight, you beg for forgiveness, we schedule another date and you bail on me again. I'm sick of it Terry," Dana said, "I'm sorry Terry but I think it's time we broke up," Terry nodded and went to class. After school ended Terry went to see Bruce. He didn't even wait for a call. He just went and he rushed into the cave so fast he forgot to take off his bike helmet. "Hey Bruce," Terry said, "Listen there was this girl I met last night. She just came out of no where and fought the jokers off and…" he stopped. The mysterious superhero from last night was standing by the computer next to Bruce. Her back faced him. She turned around and he saw her mask was off. He also noticed that she was the girl with the backpack he'd rescued in the alley last night. Bruce turned to Terry. "Terry your early today," Bruce said, "I'd like you to meet and old partner of mine, Rebecca James."
