Barbara had no idea how life was going to be like in Gotham now that Batman had left. After all, Batman had been Gotham's protector for over a decade now, many of Gotham's citizens had basically forgotten how life in Gotham was like before the Dark Knight arrived. The police would surely have to be on edge. Once the news of Batman leaving spread crime would surely rise and it would take every cop on hand to try to contain it.

Barbara feared about how life without Batman would be, but she had to remain calm and focused. Today she started her new job at Wayne Enterprise and she couldn't wait to show her skills. As she walked pass the giant revolving doors at Wayne Enterprise's main entrance, a tall middle aged black man with goatee walked up to greet her.

"Aw, Ms. Gordan am I right?" The man said "My name is Lucius Fox. Mr. Wayne has told me about you. He is excited to see what you can bring to his company."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Fox. So is there a office or somewhere for me to work at?"

"Oh yes of course follow me." Lucius said leading Barbara to the elevator where they went to the bottom floor.

"Wayne Tech is located on the bottom floor of Wayne enterprise and can only be entered with a security card. With all the high tech that we work on Mr. Wayne thought it would be safe to keep his Tech department as far separate from the rest of building as possible."

"Well considering I hear that Wayne Tech is a sponsor to Batman I'm not surprised."

"Where did you hear that?"

"Mr. Wayne has mentioned it himself during press conferences," Barbara replied.

"Yes, we do make a lot of gear to aid the Dark knight in his crusades. Every hero needs his alleys and Wayne Enterprise is proud to have aided the Batman with whatever he needs." The elevator stopped and Lucius revealed a giant room filled with tables of high tech that had not yet been revealed to the public.

"So where is Mr. Wayne? I thought he would be the one showing me to my office?"

"Mr. Wayne has a very important thing to do at another branch and will be gone for a while. Being the CEO of a global business is no easy work and he is often doing things at other branches and firms. Mr. Wayne may be my boss but most of the time I am the run running things here when he's away."

"Great" Barbara thought to herself, "First Batman's gone and now Bruce Wayne. Who's next, the Green Arrow and Oliver Queen?"

"And here is your office." Lucius showed Barbara a small room on the far right hand corner. The door to the office even had Barbara's name on it. "It's not very big but it has everything you need to work with, a computer, a desk, and a coffee machine for when you have late nights. Any questions?"

"Well I know it's my first day and all but I just couldn't wait to start designing a idea that I have been thinking of since Bruce Wayne hired me." Barbara reached into the back pocket of her black pants and unfolded a sheet of paper to show Lucius. "I was hoping to run it buy Mr. Wayne today in hopes of making a good first impression. But I guess I will run it buy you instead." Barbara showed Lucius what looked like a design for a pair of specialized goggles. "These are X-ray goggles that are going to be designed to help the police in hostile situations."

"I'm listening." Lucius said intrigued

"Okay, well you know how Superman has his X-ray vision to help to see past walls and everything. Well I have been studying up on sonars and many other devices to be able to create a specialized goggle to be able to give humans the ability to see through walls like Superman. With my dad being a cop I have heard him tell stories of many hostile situations where the bad guy has barricaded himself and sometimes a hostage in a room. This goggle will help the cops see every move he makes. He won't be able to take the cops by surprise. I haven't built it yet I need the supplies but if my calculations are correct and this works as designed, than we will be able to match the X-ray vision of Superman himself. Think of how many lives the cops can save with a device like this."

"This sounds all very interesting Ms. Gordon. May i ask what all you need for these goggles?"

"I have you a list of everything right here." Barbara reached into her other pocket and pulled out a list of everything she needed for her goggles.

"I see," Lucius replied "Well some of these things I'm going to have to order because we don't carry them on stock but I'll have them ordered by the end of the day. You should have what you need by the end of the week."

"Thank you Mr. Fox."

"Keep up the good work Miss Gordon, your already making a mighty fine first impression."

Barbara let out a silent squeal of glee as Lucius left her office. She was already making a impact and it was just her first day.

Once Barbara's shift ended, her father called and invited her to come over for dinner. He wanted to know how her knew job was going and he also wanted her to bring her roommates so he could get a chance to meet them. Sarah and Harley was thrilled to have a chance to meet the police Commissioner and at seven all three of them arrived at Jim's house.

"Papa G, so great to meet you!" Harley shouted, literally jumping Barbara's car and pulling Jim in for a huge hug. "Or should I call you Mr. G, or Commissioner G?"

"Just call me Jim." Jim coughed out as he struggled to get out of Harley's hug.

"How about Jimmy G." Harley insisted releasing her grasp from Jim. "Hey, I like that. What is up Jimmy G?"

"She always like this?" Jim asked the other two as he caught his breath.

"You have no idea." Sarah replied walking up and giving Jim a gentle hand shake. "I'm Sarah Strong and you already met Harleen Quinzell over there.

"Quite a sense of humor that Harleen has."

"Oh she means well by it trust me."

"So you two are doctors I here."

"Psychologist actually." Sarah replied "We work in Arkham trying to reform the inmates in to be honest civilians."

"Tough job considering some of those nuts in there."

"Yeah, but it's worth it if it means reforming a former felon."

"Aw how cute!" They all heard Harley suddenly say. Harley walked out of the room holding a photo of Barbara at the age of seven in a ballerina outfit. "Looking adorable Babs!"

"Dad, did you have to have that photo out in the open?" Barbara griped embarrassed. Sarah did her best to hold in her laughter by covering her mouth with her hand.

"Um, why don't we go to the back yard.?" Jim said quickly changing the subject. "I got some burgers grilled and a table all set up for us to eat. As they walked to the back yard Barbara snatched the photo from Harley who was still laughing over the photo.

As the four of them grabbed sat at the table eating Barbara told the three of them all about work and what she was working on.

"Wait, so you are going to create something that can give us X-ray vision like Superman?" Sarah asked surprised.

"Ooh, can I have one of those when going to the beach? There are a lot of handsome hunks down there." Harley replied

"It's hard to believe she is a Psychologist." Jim replied pointing to Harley.

"Well the goggles are going to be designed only to aid the police during hostile situations and will not be available to the general public, but yeah they are going to be X- ray goggles that will let you see through walls.

"Well that would definitely come in useful." Jim replied "How soon do you think you could have those made?"

"Well so far I haven't got past the blue prints and I don't even have all the supplies I need but if I get the supplies within a week I say I could have it made and tested within a couple of months."

"So how's Arkham treating you girls." Jim asked Sarah and Harley.

"Well I just started working with a new inmate today." Harley said. "I'm not allowed to say who but he is a unique fellow to say the least. I think he does what he does more for the attention then anything else."

"Really?" Jim replied.

"Yeah, I mean, he's not really trying to prove anything. With some criminals they have a reason for doing what they do, or has something they are trying to prove but this guy has none. And what's stranger is that we really don't have much if any info on him. No name, birth certificate, nothing. It's like he just popped out of a factory one time and started causing anarchy. I'm not even sure if the stories he is telling me about his past is even real or if he is just messing with me. He really is a strange fellow. I've never worked with anyone like him before. And I've worked with a eco- terrorist who can control plants so that's saying something."

"Sounds like you have your hands fool," Jim replied.

"You ain't kidding. It's like he does everything just as a big cruel unfunny joke. And this is coming from somebody who was voted class clown in High School. This person is a loon."

As they were still talking suddenly a couple of officers came into the back yard and walked up to them.

"Franklin, Polenski, can I help you with something?" Jim asked addressing the two of his officers. "Am I needed back at the office? I kind of have some company over right now."

"I hate to do this to you Jim but we have a warrant out for your arrest." Franklin took out a warrant paper and showed it to Jim, who's eyes lit up in shock.

"Mr G?" Harley gasped

"Is this some type of joke?" Jim demanded

"I'm afraid not." Polenski replied "I'm sorry Jim but we have to take you in."

"Jim?" Sarah gasped

"On what grounds, what charges!?" Jim demanding as Franklin pulled Jim up from the table and put him in handcuffs.

"On charges of selling illegal weapons on the black market."

"That's a load of bullshit!" Barbara snapped. "My father would never do anything like that, he's been a cop since before I was born and is the most honest cop on the force."

"Search the area." Franklin told Polenski. "If those weapons are here, we will find them."

"You want find anything because I am not running any illegal weapons dealership!" Jim snapped, but Polenski ignored Jim as he walked to the garage and lifted the door, only to see a giant weapons cache revealing hundreds of confiscated weapons. Jim and the girls eyes lit up in horror at the sight of those weapons.

"Well, well, well." Franklin replied "Looks like we found our missing weapons cache. "Polenski let the others know we have found the weapons and for them to come pick them up."

"This is a set up I'm being framed!"

"Yeah, well forgive me if I don't necessarily believe you." Franklin replied with a smirk and a chuckle. "Jim Gordon you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will..."

"I KNOW MY DAMN RIGHTS!" Gordon snapped angrily as the cops led him way.

"Dad!" Barbara cried as she tried to run towards him. Sarah and Harley however pulled her back as they looked on with concern, there was nothing they could do right now. As Jim was put into the back of the police car and led away, Barbara fell to her knees in tears.

"He's innocent," Barbara cried.

"We believe you Barbara but what are we going to do?" Sarah replied putting a comforting arm around Barbara. Barbara just buried her head in her arms as she cried. She honestly had no idea what to do now.

As anybody who has watched the animated Batman series (And I would feel any true Batman fan has) you can kind of tell I m borrowing a little bit from the two part episode that focused on Barbara becoming Batgirl. If you don't remember much about that episode Jim Gordon had been framed for a crime by Two face and Barbara became Batgirl to prove her fathers innocent. The part of Jim being framed is the only part I'm taking from the animated series as I am using a complete different villain. Hope you are enjoying this so far.
