I thought Stephanie Brown needed some serious love and attention. I think she is one of the most underappreciated characters and she seems like a female version of Dick to me. This will take place during her time as Batgirl. So hopefully you guys will like this! I also wanted to do something a little more upbeat

Ages:

Alfred- Immortal

Bruce – 45

Barbara -27

Dick-24

Jason – 21

Cass- 20

Tim & Steph- 17

Damian- 12

It was a night like another in Gotham and like every night the scum of the city never stopped furthering the city's reputation. Such as the robbery that was taking place in Gotham National, the city's largest bank, but luckily the city had protectors to defend her and her citizens. Tonight it was Batgirl that was in the area. Some criminals may see this as a blessing instead of having one of the more skilled vigilantes like Batman, Nightwing, Red Hood, or Black Bat; basically anyone that wasn't Stephanie but she never let that slow her down. She has just has much passion and drive as any of the members of the family and she could handle any situation that the others could.

After countless times of trying to get her to give up the "family business", if she was even considered family by the others, the other vigilantes gave up for the most part believing that they have warned her enough. Black bat and Oracle were the most accepting of her inclusion, with Nightwing accepting her during his time as Batman, Red Hood was indifferent telling her she was a big girl, Robin consistently told her of how unworthy she was but he did that to just about everyone, Red Robin slowly accepted her after realizing that nothing he said would get her to stop, and Batman had never and never would accept her it seemed.

Shaking herself out of her thoughts she jumped down from the rooftop and snuck into the bank as the criminal was busy in the vault emptying the safety deposit boxes.

"Don't you know stealing is wrong?"

The criminal slowly turned around, not even concerned that there was a Bat in the vault with him.

"Well this is a disappointment I was hoping for the Bat, not a lackey. But at least you're pretty." He looked her up and down slowly like they were flirting at a bar as a couple of citizens and not a criminal and vigilante.

Stephanie rolled her eyes at having to deal with another perverted criminal and took out her cuffs as she started walking towards the man. Now that she got a good look at him he wasn't dressed like a normal Gotham criminal; as they usually have the most colorful or the most ridiculous costumes ever. This guy wore a long black robe with a hood pulled up he had long blonde hair and the greenest eyes she had ever seen; he looked to be around her age and didn't look like he had any weapons. But you can never be too careful with all the weirds in Gotham

"Look dude why don't you make this easy on yourself put the stolen goods down and come with me."

"As much as I would like to get to know you better I don't think I will." He whips his hand out towards her and she flies out of the vault and lands on her back in the middle of the lobby.

"You see pretty girl I can't put my plans into motion if I get looked up." As he casually walks toward her with a cocky smile that Stephanie couldn't wait to knock it off face.

"Well guess you're not going to like me anymore freaky dude." Stephanie stood and pulls out a bo staff.

As she throws a gas pellet and rushes him. Batgirl may not be the best fighter in the family but she would be damned if she let this cock SOB beat her. Besides she had gotten much better after a summer of training with Cass.

After she knocks him on his ass and pins her staff to his jugular he stares up at her with a smirk that irratated her even more. Though it did make her more cautious as what more he could do if he was so relaxed.

" You're not half bad." He said right before he blew some kind of dust in to her face. As she jumps back to cough the rest of it out of her system he takes the chance to escape. But before he left she could have sworn his eyes flashed pitch black. But she didn't get the chance to think about it any further as the darkness consumed her.

When any of the bat's heart rate severly drops or escalates while on patrol it sends a signal to the cave and Oracle. So after Stephanie lost concisiousness the entire family would know in a matter of minutes.

" Oracle to Batman." Came the familiar voice of the first Batgirl

" Batman here." Bruce answered as he sat a top WE building with Robin looking over the city.

" I just got the signal from Batgirl." Not having to explain what signal she was talking about as it only went off when someone was in danger and was well known by all members of the family.

"Tt of course Fatgirl would cause it to go off." Damian remarked.

"Don't worry about it Batman I am closer to her location anyway." Red Robin responded ending the conversation as he jumped over the rooftops until he came to the bank were Batgirls signal was coming from. He jumped down and walked into the building.

"Batgirl where are you." He slowly walked towards the vault that looked like it been melted open and looked around to see the remnants of a fight.

"Batgirl." Tim knew she was here because the signal was still transmitting and the signal comes from the suit itself so the only way it would stop would be if the suit was taken off. Luckily it didn't take Tim long to find his best friend but how he found her was much unexpected.

Sitting in the middle of her black and purple uniform was an unconscious 8 year old Stephanie.
