Episode Two

"You're joining the team? How did Batman agree to this? Why are you smirking?" Robin ranted. The team looked away from the boy wonder and looked at the girl standing in front of him. Sure enough, she was smirking. Robin stormed out of the mission room. Wonder-girl followed him shortly after.

"Why are you joining, it's not like we are short on people" Arsenal said with his usual attitude.

"How should I know? Bats never tells me anything. He just said that you needed help, so I came over A.S.A.P. That's all I know."Spoiler explained.

"You trust him?" Roy was skeptical. Stephanie didn't blame him. She was an outsider.

"I owe him. That is all." Spoiler was being as vague as possible. She wasn't doing it on purpose, just trying to see where the trust was standing. There was some trust just not a lot. What did she expect? "Bats got me out of a jam eight months ago and I've been making it up to him ever since. When I visit Gotham in-between missions and help Robin patrol at night. He's upset that he can't predict or control me. It's the same with Nightwing and Bats. So Bats keeps me busy."Spoiler kept talking. She managed to shut everyone up. She began to walk towards the zeta tubes, but Static spoke up.

"So you joined the team. Cool. Would you like a tour of the place?" That came out more awkwardly then he intended it to.

"Sure, I don't have any thing to do now." Spoiler smiled.

"I'll join you." Tigress stated.

"Uh … sure." Static said. Thus began the tour. They passed a game room the kitchen and the bathrooms and came back to the command room.

"Well that was short. Anyway have to go a friend is visiting from Metropolis and is probably going through my closet as we speak. "Spoiler announced.


"Wow. I can't believe Batman would this. Spoiler is too reckless to be here!" Tim was still upset, but Bruce was Bruce and he never did anything without reason. As far as he knew this was training for her. He was complaining to his girlfriend Cassie Sandsmark (I'm surprised that I remembered her last name)

"I think you care about this girl."Cassie stated bluntly.

"She's my closest friend in my 'normal' life. Besides she has a boyfriend, Dean (comment if you get the reference)." Tim said quickly.

"You don't sound too happy about that." Cassie noted verbally.

"He's a jerk, an arrogant jerk. That's all I have to say on the matter."

"Wow." Batgirl was listening in on the whole conversation. She smirked at Tim, who had a sudden interest in his thumbs.

"What do you mean, 'wow'" Wonder-girl asked.

"When Spoiler first started training with us, Robin was very protective of her. When she was ordered to go train somewhere else, little Robin kept in contact till you two started dating."

"In my defense, she told me that she was coming back to Gotham." Tim said while the girls discussed his playboy-like personality. (Had to put that in there) Tim groaned and walked towards the zeta tubes. Maybe he could patrol Gotham before he went to bed.


Spoiler was on her cheap laptop in what appeared to be an apartment in the worst part of Gotham wearing a black tank top with purple trim on the sides and some short black gym shorts. Her friend Kara 'Linda' Kent was going through her closet and taking out the stuff that she thought was cute.

"Kara, I might break up with Dean. He's a jerk and I don't know how much I can take of his attitude." Stephanie (Spoiler) looked at her best female friend. Her voice was shaky, but she was smirking. Kara knew that smirk.

"So, while you're 'grieving about your failed relationship' do you want to have a girls' day out. We could go shopping. Haven knows you need it. Does Bruce still pay for you credit card?" Kara, ever the loyal friend, asked.

"Sure. I just need to make a phone call, in the morning, I'm exhausted."Steph stated.

"Oh. By the way, how did Tim react to you joining the team?" Kara smiled.

"He freaked out. But his wonder-girl-friend was there to comfort him." Stephanie added that last part darkly.

"You care about him."

"As a friend, nothing more."Stephanie added in the end.

"You know, I can tell if people are lying." Kara said.

"Whatever. I'm going to bed."


Flash back: Arthur Brown (Stephanie's father) slapped Stephanie who appeared to be ten maybe nine.

"You ratted me out to the cops. Why would you do that to your own father?" Arthur asked/demanded

"A real father wouldn't kill his daughter's mother."
